Fine fish, no stuffy waiters.

Winter Park Fish Company is an upscale, quick service restaurant that combines fine dining’s favored elements with the fast casual world that modern diners have come to embrace. Their daily menu starts with the freshest fish available, and continues on with homemade sauces, and creating almost everything from scratch.

Small Kitchen, Big Results

Give a great chef a kitchen, and the food will be just as great whether it’s haute cuisine or scrambled eggs. In the case of George Vogelbacher, veteran of Le Cordon Bleu and Nicole St. Pierre, the amazing small kitchen at Winter Park Fish company seems to be just right for producing impressive seafood.

“Longtime residents are lining up for a chance to taste the food of George Vogelbacher again.”

Winter Parkers have been standing in lines lately to dine at new restaurants. First there was the previously reviewed Four Rivers Smokehouse, now they’re queuing out the front door of Winter Park Fish Company.

Part of the popularity is the newness, certainly. Over the past year we’ve seen fewer restaurants open due to the economic climate. Those that have gamely opened with a “damn the economy; full speed ahead” attitude tend to grab our attention.

But part of WPFishCo’s advance buzz isn’t so much its newness as it is its oldness, as it were.

Fishy Business in Winter Park

If you’ve driven up Orange Avenue lately, you may have noticed people queuing out the front door of Winter Park Fish Company. Part of the reason for the popularity is the newness – it opened shortly before the first of the year. But part of it is also its familiarity. Longtime residents are lining up for a chance to once again taste the food of George Vogelbacher, the Fish Company’s veteran chef.
