Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Waterford Lakes

Helena Modern Rivera is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the incredible energy of the restaurant. The ambience was modern yet inviting, setting the perfect mood for a night out. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef’s skill and creativity. The drinks were equally impressive—craft cocktails that were both visually stunning and delicious. Our experience was elevated even further by our waitress, Christina. She was attentive, warm, and had fantastic recommendations that enhanced our meal. Her energy matched the lively atmosphere of the restaurant, making us feel welcome and cared for throughout our visit. Helena Modern Rivera is a must-visit for anyone seeking amazing food, drinks, and an unforgettable dining experience. We can’t wait to return!

Eli & Abe where very helpful. Helping the three of us celebrate our promotions together last night. A dessert was amazing. My favorite was the lamb. Definitely be coming back.

As a Michelin Chef starred restaurant, you expect... and oh boy, did they deliver. Paul, our server, made the evening way and beyond food experience. Don't get us wrong!! Food was absolutely divine! Sommelier Gabriel knows its craft and will suggest great wine and night cap drinks. Oh, their cocktail menu is pretty original, too. Overall, it is one of our best experiences. Beautiful outside patio. Unfortunately, it was too cold for us to eat outside. The whole staff is so nice and friendly. We had a great time.

Our starter of Harvest corn soup was delicious; the creamed soup was topped with corn relish and a few kernels of popcorn, which added a very different twist to the overall taste. We had scallops with pork belly and zaatar coated cobia, both of which were cooked to perfection. Dessert consisted of chocolate mousse, which was a “dry” version of mousse and a glass of house made limoncello, which unfortunately tasted more like lemon flavored water. We could have done without the mousse or the limoncello. The noise level was high in large part due to a family with children having dinner. The service was excellent! We would definitely return.

Food is delicious. Second time here and just consistent.
