Nutwood

Nutwood Winter Haven: Situated in a quiet neighborhood in Winter Haven is a converted home-turned-restaurant glowing with string lights. Nutwood is the brainchild of celebrated Chef Steven Rojas, who I had the pleasure of meeting, who has worked in some of the most prestigious restaurants around the world and is bringing that expertise to Florida. I had a beautifully cooked Heritage Berkshire Crispy Pork Belly with a scrumptious butternut squash puree.

The restaurant's menu showcases creative preparations using quality ingredients, appealing to discerning diners looking for something special. With its elegant atmosphere and attention to detail, Nutwood provides a perfect setting for celebrations and memorable meals.

I can't review the food because I had an 8:00 reservation last night and walked out because no one informed me there was a predetermined menu for Valentine's Day. I did not see it on the website when I was looking for a restaurant in the area, and I wasn't informed in any of the reminder and confirmation texts I received. Another restaurant in the area was doing the same thing but called to inform me.
