“We decided to give them a try, since we have seen the restaurant for a while every time we pass by. It sure was a good experience!There is plenty of seating inside and we were greeted by nice hostesses whom sat us as we came in on a busy weekend afternoon. Our server greeted us a bit later and was nice, friendly, attentive and checked on us as well.Our food was tasty, made to order, fresh and flavorful! We ordered the mahi tacos, regular sliders and the turkey sliders. Every thing was delish!We will definitely be back and keep it as one of our go to's for the future!“
“My husband and I enjoy the wonderful karaoke of Katie Joyce on Sunday and Monday nights. Sunday is better because karaoke begins at 7:30 and ends at 11:30; but Monday's new 8:30-12:30 hours make it too late. Also, the lights are uncomfortably harsh and bright in order accommodate a weekly card game. These issues may effect our decision visit on Monday's.Otherwise, this is a fun, friendly place; good service and decent food. Great holiday specials and events, too!“
“Felicidade was fabulous !!!! She was so quick with our food and kept checking in. She has an amazing personality and was so social. Would love to have her as a waitress again. Food was so good and the vibe was on point ! I left stuff & happy :)“
“I’ve been to Garibaldi’s outside bar (and inside seating) many times. Always a great experience. I’m here again right now. Zuli is awesome!!! She is so personable and makes the greatest and yummiest drinks ever!!! Come and give it a try yourself. Get the fantastic margaritas 28oz and enjoy. And the food is fantastic. I especially love the a la carte fish tacos. Love this place?“
“We stopped in for a quick drink and just to check it out. Besides being the old folks we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Stacy was awesome! Very personable and informative. Food was surprisingly super yummy. We had the Parmesan fries…couldn’t eat them fast enough. The brunch menu looked fantastic. We’ll definitely be back to give it a try.“
“Josue and Gabriela were the best waiters in all of Orlando. They were super attentive, detailed, and the recommendations were spectacular. We ate tacos (chicken, carnitas, and steak) and we ate queso fondido, everyone who comes here has to eat queso fondido. The music, AMAZING, the food AMAZING, the waiters, SUPER AMAZING In general everything was SPECTACULAR ?“
“Def make a reservation if you can; This place is so delicious, therefore is always busy. Every item is authentic, delicious and unique. You honestly can’t go wrong. I had the squid pasta and it was dreamy good. The pizza, salad, all of it is worth trying once if you can. My sister swears by the potato gnocchi and orders it almost every time. If you’re on park, definitely don’t second guess yourself and give this place a try. Service is great as well, very attentive and kind staff. The atmosphere is kind of dark but in a good, relaxing way. It creates an escape from the hustle of park avenue( if you dine inside). Perfect for family visiting from out of town, friends alike, even for a date. It’s a very clean restaurant that I’ve always had amazing experiences at with loved ones and friends alike.“
“Girls night out with one of my favorite bff's. This place is a vibe, rustic with a comfortable laid back type atmosphere. Decore is tasteful and the soft lighting is a win. The oysters are very clean and fresh tasting. The drinks are well crafted and quite enjoyable. The bar is welcoming and the environment feels refreshing. Not a cheap date, but you definitely get what you pay for. Overall fire.Perfect for date night/s -n- Meet up with friends.I hear they have an happy hour ! - I'll update when I have the time to catch it : )Must try: Oysters. Muscles. Fried CauliflowerEnjoy !“
“Craving tacos bad and decided to try out Anejo. I had the Steak Rajas Tacos and they were quite good. Will have to return to test the other ones out. Make sure to ask for salsa for the tacos if doing carry-out, in case they forget (they did for us). The tacos included rice and beans, along with chips and salsa.“
Distilleries • $$
“What an absolute hoot and holler of a time. Took my brother for his birthday to do the distillery tour and it was worth every cent. The owners were informative without being elitist, you could hear the passion in the way they explained every step of the process of making blended spirits, and the whole time made us feel like we were friends who just stopped by to hang out.Owner Michael did a great job on the tour and explaining the new space they are working on opening up. Learning more about the still for refinement and the barrels they order the whiskey and other spirits in was really cool. There was no question we asked that wasn’t met with enthusiasm and a clear answer.Owner Tim was our tasting guide after the tour and what an absolute treat it was to sit with him and learn more about the sprits they blend and the partner distilleries that they use and why they chose them for specific blends. When my husband mentioned Why he stays away from clear rum (it’s just nasty sugar water) Tim got excited and ran off to grab their limited run clear rum. One taste and we knew we would be leaving with two bottles to make mojitos at home with! The whole time we were in the tasting room it felt like we were chilling out with an old friend. What a comfortable and down right delightful time.As we were on our way out the staff were laughing with guests and each other. The entire atmosphere of the bar was elegant yet friendly. I look forward to the next time my husband and I visit, which will have to be soon.“
“Very cozy and warm dining experience. Love the decor and innovative menu selection. Waitstaff extremely friendly. Just so popular...you may have a slight wait to get served. Overall will put this restaurant on our "go to" list. Loved the lobster sandwich, grouper, gnocchi dishes, charcuterie board. Outdoor seating available with a view of Lake Ivanhoe when weather is nice.“
“The Neighbors is the bar that everyone wants in their neighborhood - friendly staff, delicious drinks, unique gifts, and Ruka (the dalmatian) to greet you at the door. It's a great spot for happy hour any day (except Tuesday, when they are closed) and on the weekend they have live music to enjoy while you sip and stroll. If you haven't checked out this great local spot, you are definitely missing out.“
“I visit Orlando for the weekend and I was lucky enough to find this little treasure on the city.My fiancé and I were amazed, not only the service was so nice and kind, knowledgeable and very helpful.The Ramen we had was way above our expectations. The noodles were absolutely delicious and the overall exquisite.Can't wait to be back.“
Tacos •
“Great place to have excellent food. The chips and salsa they bring to the table are really good, and so is the service. The Quesabirrias are one of the best we have had, and so are the Birria Tacos. This last time I had El Burrito, with chorizo, and it was great.“
“What can I say? The old lady and I were not disappointed. (She’s not actually an old lady, I just like to mess with her). Don’t go here if you’re expecting there to be sun. It should be called great drinks and chill vibes-room. But I can see why they didn’t go with that name. Sunroom was recommended to me by two buddies, their names are unimportant to this story as they chose to not come by.. We came on a Wednesday night and it was super quiet in there. We sat at the bar and were helped right away. Love that we were served water without having to ask for it (it’s the little things). It was spotless in here, styled beautifully. Definitely a great place to bring a date for sure. The playlist was on point. On to the drinks, why you’re actually still reading this far.. I started with the Jalisco Inferno and she started with an Appletini. Both were crafted carefully and tasted amazing. 10/10 x2. We then tried Saturn, & Blue Haitian again, the attention to detail and flavors on these drinks were wonderful. She wasn’t a big fan of the Blue Haitian (if you like fresh ginger go for it, this drink was actually nuts) we swapped but I loved Saturn as well. 10/10 x2 again. It’s clear the bartenders care about what they do & it reflects heavily in the drinks they craft. We left to Hawkers for some food but we popped back in for another Appletini & I went for the Cafe Bandito this time. Let me just say if I had a drinking problem (I might), I’d want one of these for breakfast everyday (I won’t) It was phenomenal. 100% will be returning to try more of the menu out.There were a lot of rocks in the parking lot. If we all show up with a sling shot one day we could probably clear them out pretty easy. Just saying.“
“The drinks, service, prices, and ambiance here were amazing! I am absolutely coming back. There was live music and couches to sit on. Also, I forgot the name of the drink I had because some drinks are seasonal, but it was so incredibly good! My boyfriend got the Panama By Van Halen By Gillian Carter drink and we loved it. Live laugh love Lil Indies!Kid-friendliness: It is 21+ and a bar. No kids“
“The Guesthouse has become my ultimate go-to for a chill night out in Orlando. Great bartenders, nice crowd, good music, easy parking, and modern yet cozy vibes. Even though they don't serve food, it looks like they host some food vendor pop-up events and one is allowed to bring in food from Black Rooster taqueria next door (I've never seen anyone doing it though). Their sister bar, Sunroom, is well worth a visit if you want a change to a more sophisticated and quieter ambiance and expanded cocktail offerings.“
Mexican • $$
“I was excited for this place, so when I saw their open sign I decided to go. I have to say, with all these new Mexican restaurants opening in the (Orlando) area I didn't have high hopes but this place really exceeded my expectations. The inside is absolutely beautiful and spacious. It smells good and clean. We felt very welcomed. They have a big menu with many different options that most restaurants don't usually offer. This was a good sign! I love trying new foods. Some of the items on their menu that stood out to me were *molotes- plantains filled with queso and chorizo *carne en su jugo (mexican style beef stew) *chilaquiles *tacos de campo (cactus tacos) *tacos campechano (bacon, steak, chorizo tacos) *ahi tuna, ceviche, ceviche verde *tableside guac! *cheesecake chimichanga Of course they offer SO much more than this, including fajitas, quesadillas, chimichangas, enchiladas, bowls, chicken platters, salads, soups, the list goes on. We started off with the tableside guacamole, it was freshly made and tasted great! We couldn't stop eating it with the complementary chips and salsa of course. We asked for the house spicy sauce, it was delicious and extremely spicy!! For the main course, we ordered an al pastor bowl, tacos campechanos, and a carne asada. Everything tasted delicious. The carne asada was a little off tasting, like the way the made it wasn't with charcoal grill but other than that it was enjoyable. The tacos campechano (steak, bacon, chorizo) were beyond flavorful and they came on blue corn tortillas. The Al pastor bowl was tasty. The adobo of the pork was seasoned well. Everything tasted great. Although I feel the service could've been better. We were ready to go for a while, our server (Julio) got busy with other tables which is understandable he definitely glanced at us a few times and saw we were looking to be helped but chose to leave us waiting. I wouldn't mind waiting if I didn't have my sleepy toddler who was ready to go. Other servers saw we were looking for our server and just passed by. They should focus more on team work. But other than that I will be back! Also, the prices are lower than most restaurants in the area. For the quality of everything, we felt the prices were on the lower side. This is definitely a plus and I can see this place thriving due to all they have to offer their customers. You have to try this place at least once!“
“Absolutely love Gnarley Barley. Everyone is always so friendly whenever we are there. Excellent atmosphere. I would eat the cheese curds everyday and never get tired of them. They're hands down the best in all of Orlando, probably Florida. Pickle dip is also a big hit in our family.“
“This is a wonderful bar! The decorations of the place are really cool, and the staff is extremely friendly and funny. I enjoyed that they explained the theme of the bar and had great vibes all the time. I ordered the King of Kaiju. It was delicious, refreshing, and the presentation was amazing!! I'm definitely going back soon!“
“Had not been in years and was excited to see the upgrades. The building is beautiful, the staff was great from the hostesses to our go-to waiter Mr. NICK. He was great from his food suggestions to his superb service. The band was absolutely fantastic. So that you wonder why guys like these are not at Mahaffey Theater or Ruth Eckerd Hall performing. But not everyone needs fame and fortune to be successful or noticed. Hats off to them. Special kudos to them all. IT WAS A GREAT NIGHT!! and we'll be back. PS - A little update on the menu. Great choices, but not enough of them.“
“Twas a dark and stormy night in the 8th layer of hell the lost souls of the East know as “Orlando”. As the clouds shrouded the sky, I stumbled into this saloon for shelter from the impending Burning Rain of Death. The rake behind the counter, Garret, kindly offered me a libation to which I vehemently obliged. Before the cold glass met my lips, I was frozen in my chair by the sight of a wicked woman with fiery hair the locals know to be Winnifred. We spoke wildly into the night of spooky dino chickie nuggies, Disney +, Malibu potions, and cauldron maintenance, of course. She lent me her boOooOooOok and I would love nothing more than to return it to her, as it won’t stop staring at me. If you see her, please do let her know I would love to reconnect, and would also take her up on Billy’s number if she’s indeed done with him.“
“This was our first time here and wont be our last. Everyone we met from the owners to the chef were kind and friendly. The food was very good. I had a half order of biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was light and fluffy and the gravy tasted homemade. We had a spicy Bloody Mary to drink and it was good (they use Zing Zang which is our fave). The place is small so I can see where you might go and there is “no room at the inn” but definitely worth a visit! We will go again!“
“A little tardy in my review, but if I could I would give Cork & Olive 10 stars.The service was unbelievable.The food was fantastic. We had steak, pasta, chicken picatta, diablo something or other and let's not forget Mama's meatballs.The owner and his wife went out of thier way to make our time resemble the Italian family dinners I had growing up with our neighbors. Just with fine service and a bit more style.The gang doesn't get together as often as we like or should, so thank you for making this one of our most memorable.“
“What a good selection for lunch. I had the Cobb salad with smoked chicken. It was delicious! Enough to share. The chicken was the tastiest I've ever had on a salad. The chopped eggs and blue cheese added the perfect balance to the heat of the dressing. A well-rounded dish.After lunch we ordered cold brew that was the perfect ending to a nice meal.“
“It's safe to say the Imperial at Washburn is one of the best bars in downtown Sanford. The vibe is quirky and eclectic, yet comfortable with purchasable antique furniture filling most of the space. You can expect consistent service here as the bartenders are always efficient and still manage to whip up cocktails pretty quickly even when the place is packed. My favorite thing about Washburn is that the cocktails are just like the decor/furniture that's for sale on the inside, ever changing and unique. The menu seems to change pretty regularly, but I can honestly say I've never been disappointed by any drink here! On my most recent visit I tried the Gin Grapefruit Cosmo and the 2020 Daiquiri and both cocktails were exceptional. Whether you're looking for a classic cocktail or a new spin on a traditional one, the Imperial at Washburn in Sanford will keep you coming back for more!“
“I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and the place did not disappoint. Excellent appetizers, great drinks and the staff were friendly. This Place has a really good vibe to it, Will definitely return.Parking: Parking can be found in the street or at a parking garage behind the wildflower“
“Had the Tacos last night . They were absolutely delicious. Beautiful Tavern. I met some really nice people there. Hung out with some friends and had a great night. If you haven't gone here go. You won't regret it. Val is Awesome.“
“Downtown’s best dance club isn’t downtown anymore. It's located near the Cannery apartments in the Packing District. Mix and mingle to the best alternative sounds of the 80s-90s, spun by DJ Kimball and friends. Enjoy free parking and admission (21 & up) and drink specials until 10pm at Barbarella, now at 4141 John Young Pkwy, Suite 3 | @barbarella“
“In town visiting friends and this was a last minute choice. From the apps to the main corpses, Reel Fish hit the mark. Our server, Nicole, was awesome. She knew the menu and was so engaging with us. We say outside but the umbrella was large enough to keep all six of us shaded. I would come back again“
“Atmosphere is beautiful with the wood decor throughout the restaurant. The bone in ribeye Pittsburg style medium rare was perfect. The drinks and the apps were great. I would say try the calamari for sure... that was one of the best, perfectly cooked, tasty calamari I've ever had. Service was great and quick for a nice restaurant.“
“I been coming here on & off more so when I use to live in Winter Park & honestly always been great vibes & always had a fun night & as of recently I was here & forgot my satchel bag & lo & behold it was still there the next day when I went by to pick it up thanks again if you haven't been & in to live music definitely check Grumpys out ?“
“My husband and I picked up two friends from Pennsylvania at the Amtrak Auto Train Station and went to The Wildflower for lunch. Three out of four ordered the Grouper Sandwich and said it was delicious. I ordered the Chicken Wrap. It was very good. Service was great. The music was a little loud for the time of day. Overall, a wonderful experience.“
“I just want to say what an amazing place this is. We have been here many times and every time service is on point and food is amazing! We’ve had Taylor and Yez as our servers and they are both AMAZING! Tyra is so wonderful and remembers us every time and makes sure to take very good care of us! Jenna the bartender makes the perfect drinks! This place is where we should all be spending our money at. Not corporate places. They truly care about our experience! We will definitely be back!!“
“My family & I visited this establishment on Easter Sunday. At first I didn’t expect to like it because upon arriving their credit card machine was down & they were only accepting cash app, Zelle, etc. which I thought was very odd for a restaurant plus they seemed a bit under staffed along with something being wrong with my order when it came out but that all changed when the manager came to personally address the situation & correct the issue. I ended up getting an extra side on the house. I had the seafood boil with snow crabs & it was finger licking good, the margaritas drinks were made just right, & the vibe was amazing. I sang my lil heart on stage for karaoke. Just a great time & fun experience. I gave 4 stars because of what I explained in the beginning but I’ll definitely be back & next time it will be on a Thursday night which I heard is even more live.“
“BEST VIBE IN ALL OF ORLANDO. This is my go-to spot for a fantastic evening of shenanigans - located in the Virginia/ Mills area. You can come here with just about any friend/crew from the most norm-core to the most eccentric, and everyone will feel at home, co-mingle in the frivolity, and enjoy the great vibes and music. There's a free pool table, darts, and other retro games. So - even if you come in by yourself, there's plenty of ways to meet people and make new friends. It's right next to Santiago's, so a great place to swing through before/after. The front porch is a great place to hang out and get swept into fascinating conversations. The bar owner is the BEST, most hilarious, wonderful person. He used to be in a famous 90s band. I'll let you ask him about it.“
“We had the beet salad and the pork belly appetizers followed by the espresso crème brûlée. Everything was outstanding. Our server Dylan was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and wine we ordered. We came at 5 and were sorry we hadn't requested a table in the bar area, bc we were in the front room with four tables and we were the only ones for 45 minutes. We enjoy quiet, but we enjoy being with other diners. We will be back! Lots of things we'd like to try on the menu.“
“First time at Food Factory, ambiance was good, service was great with Annalise at the bar! She was very attentive, gave great drink recommendations and overall was super friendly. The food was good, we had nachos from the cantina but was a bit overpriced. Overall a good experience but a bit costly.“

“We enjoy coming to Senor Tequilas, but we are also recognizing that the increase in prices are much beyond the normal increases of other restaurants. So that is something to consider when visiting here. Expect to spend 15% to 20% beyond normal inflation of prices.“
“Absolutely fantastic food, atmosphere, and service. Our server Chely was polite and prompt. I had Carnitas Michoacán, tender shredded pork that was moist and not served in a bowl of juice. Excellent. My wife had chicken enchiladas which were loaded with chicken and had a tangy verde sauce. Great food. Place was not busy but I’m sure it’ll get more popular as word spreads . 5 Stars“
“A nice bar that serves STIFF mixed drinks at good prices! Inside is smoking allowed. There is seating/tables outside if indoor smoking is your issue. You MUST try the ham on rye sandwich with chips and a pickle! ( More bar/finger foods possibly to come.) The owner (Kat) and bartenders are always personable and friendly. They have USB charging stations on the napkin holders (have your own charging cord). Touch tunes jukebox, one dart board, an ATM and a cigarette vending machine. There are no pool tables here. Check this place out if you're in the area!Parking: I've yet to ever have an issue with parking here.“
