'League of Extraordinary Dining' offers immersive experiences

Both The Argonaut and Nautilus Coffee Co. come from the brilliant minds at the League of Extraordinary Dining LLC, which also has something special coming to Sanford, Florida in 2023. The Dragon Vault will be a full-scale restaurant where "humans and dragons intersect."

How about ordering a cocktail called "Bomb’s Away" that drops down from the ceiling of an underwater vessel?  You can do it at The Argonaut Bar and Lounge in Downtown Tavares, Florida – the new, highly thematic submarine spot set in the Prohibition Era.

Watching the drinks get made here is as enthralling as the setting itself. As the story goes, the vessel belonged to Henry and Jane Nautilus, who at the turn of the century, took over an iron works facility and converted it into the Nautilus Coffee Company. That’s just a few doors down from The Argonaut, where they say "adventure is brewing."

Oh, and make sure to snoop around for triggers that let you control the machinery in the ceiling as you sip on your unique java.
