“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.“
“My wife and I have been trying to get here for quite some time, and we were able to get there today. The food did not disappoint at all. Chicken and waffles, crab cakes, and Blanca vegetarian omelette were all cooked well and were very tasty.“
“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."“
“Wow! My wife and I have been past this restaurant for years and never thought to come in as we actually thought that they were closed. We realized that we have been making a big mistake and we are already figuring out when to return. Everything that we ordered was phenomenal (Bruschetta, Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina, Carne Trio, and Cannoli.)“
“We went for a standard reservation, and highly recommend for this and would have loved to reserve a Fabio's table which happens only a couple times a month. Fabio was still there and fantastic. He helped talk through the menu, both for food and wine. He selects the wine himself so he knows which wines are vegan friendly, but may not have a vegan certification. Food menu is clearly marked for plant based, vegetarian, and gluten free. We ordered and shared the antipasto & bread, escargot, funghi flat bread, ratatoullie, and beet wellington. What I love about Vinia is just the amazing real food, versus processed veganized foods. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and incredibly delicious! A must visit! Winter Park is a beautiful area with brick streets, cute shops, and the Morse museum. Highly recommend a day or half day in the area, ending at Vinia. Updated from previous review on 2024-03-31“
“Went to Eola Wine Company a while back with some coworkers. It was a great time. Trying to find parking was a bit tough since I went during a busy time, and I ended up having to pay for parking. But the food and drinks were worth it. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seats to choose from.“
“We came in on. Wednesday evening. There was a good size crowd but we’re were able to get a table. We had a Margherita, and a Fig and Prosciutto pizza, a roasted Beet and Goat cheese salad and Olives. The salad was excellent, beets properly prepared and the salad well dressed. The pizza was authentic, wood fired oven Neapolitan. The wine selections are great but a good bit overpriced in my opinion. The service was excellent. Great place. Will return.“
“I’m from Upstate NY and came to Orlando for a birthday retreat with my daughter and mother. We had just came from our hotel to grab a bite to eat. We were starving and needed somewhere close and quick white wolf was just that place. Initially, when I ordered, I wasn’t too crazy about my selection and the server, Amber was very helpful with alternatives. We enjoyed the atmosphere so much that we decided to go back the following day for brunch and it was amazing. The mimosas. I had the country fried chicken. My mother had shrimp and grits, and my daughter just had a traditional breakfast with turkey sausages but everything was really really good and the next time I’m in Orlando I’ll definitely be back!“
“Was there for lunch, had pesto chicken flatbread and potato leek soup - both were delicious. Also had Belgian chocolate s'more dessert cup; love the size of the dessert cups here- just enough to hit a sweet tooth craving without being too much food!“
“Amazing!!!!, the service is super. You feel so welcome, had the fried goat and burrata appetizer, incredible, very well done and the presentation so attractive. I had the ahi tuna stack, really good but my husband had the red grouper and it was much better. Would definitely come back again and again. There is plenty of parking in a garage very near by.“
“Capital did not disappoint. Dry aged NY strip was almost as good as last visit, a little fattier. We noticed the portion of tuna a little smaller but still on point. Service was impeccable. Excellent experience very friendly employees!!!“
“What a lovely gem in the middle of Baldwin Park. This natural wine shop has an amazing selection for such a small space. Heather is extremely knowledgeable. It seems like all you have to do is describe the notes you're seeking and she can find just the bottle to suit your taste.“
“My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here last night and had a great experience. It was our first time at Fleming’s and will definitely be back. Multiple staff members wished us a happy anniversary and even had our table decorated upon arrival. Dixon was our server and was super friendly and attentive. Honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had in a while. Thanks for making our night special!“
“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“
“My husband and I were starving after picking up some items from usps. This is not our normal everyday area so we were googling resturaunts for a bit until I thought of Italian. We had our 2 year old with us and we felt as though we would be under dressed for how nice this place was on the inside so we sat outside. I have to say, they made us feel so welcomed. Robert was super attentive and so sweet. The host came over and talked to us and our 2 year old. It just made the experience so nice for us as its usually hard to go out with our kiddo. Food came out and we were blown away by everything. So happy we stopped by. We are adding it to our revisit list and places to bring family from out of town! Thank you!“
“Absolutely incredible spot. Great bartenders, very expertly curated beer selection, creative sangrias, fun vibe, great music and is connected to the best pizza in Orlando. It's truly not to be missed, and I recommend to anyone looking for real Orlando culture.“
“Always my favorite place to go!!! The best wine options and I love the different sizes available on their pours. Always fresh wine since it's using a coravin wine system (wine on tap). Their food menu is also pretty robust for a wine focused place; enjoyed the food here.“
“The coolest bar in the Milk District! Tasty Takeover (multiple food trucks) on Tuesday night is awesome. Live music on first Fridays of the month is always spectacular. The owners are the only staff, and are the friendliest bartenders in Orlando. You have to check it out!“
“This is one of my favorite spots to have some wine with friends! The wine selection is large with reasonable prices. I love sitting in the back patio, which has large tables, fire pits, and string lights-- it definitely reminds me of Lagniappe in Miami if you have been! Sometimes there is a charcuterie food truck parked out back, so you can grab some cheeses to enjoy with your wine. Grape & Grain is definitely my go-to for pre-dinner drinks or a chill night with friends!“
“Good wines good service, and the prices were pretty good! Limited seating and the place itself was quite unorganized. Their wine selection was huge though it was nice to walk around and look at all their selections. Will come back to enjoy a nice bottle next time, maybe a cheese board!“
“We rarely have date nights and felt it would be appropriate to return to our old stomping grounds (bc - before the child). I became the wine shop customer in 2013, way before it became Digress Wine. The place then was dark, quiet and cold, just like a wine cellar, a bit uncomfortable to walk in, but had great wine selection. Then new ownership stepped in and with every visit the transformations started to take place: from updated interior to the wines brought from their numerous trips all over the world. Reading their newsletter is a special interaction for me: it is a skillfully crafted short story, full of imagery and passionate approach to wine as a cultural experience. Moving into 2023, after 4 years of active parenthood, we were amazed at how much love, effort, creativity, and positive energy was put into the place! I am not going to go into detail here, just want to say, the outdoor area was perfectly set up, with a touch of tropical garden, the lanterns and candles... and wine! Oh, the generous pour of rich and lucious wisdom! We thank the owners for beeing true wine enthusiasts, for creating the local place where my husband and I fall in love with each other every time!“
“The food was absolutely delicious, the presentation was off the hook. The register lady, she was so kind and explained to me how the plates come and what to add as aditon like the YUCCA. The black beans tasted amazingly, the plantains were super perfectly sweet, the white rice even has good flavor. I personally would be back to this small mom and pop shop to eat other items on the menu. I would definitely try the (questito) warm or cold. I like it cold, for some off reason. Either way they are a must if you are getting some sweets after a delicious dinner.Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled...Dietary restrictions: Plenty of food that is dietary.Parking: A little restricted parking, be patient and you'll find a available spot.Kid-friendliness: Lots of food that is perfect for kids,Wheelchair accessibility: Front door wheelchair accessible.“
“Great cigar shop in Longwood. My first time coming here and the staff (John) was amazing and asked what cigars I like and he showed me an amazing full body house blend that is absolutely delicious. I recommend cigar lovers like myself to come here and enjoy because I'll definitely be coming back myself.“
“This place is a hidden GEM! weikiva springs was too packed to get in, so we came here instead. They have their own kayak rentals (or launch your own for $20 each vessel). The place is super cool with nice patio furniture, cornhole, super quality volleyball court, a huge dock along the river to swim/hang out on sitting on adorandak chairs and a huge bar with draft beers and frozen cocktails. They have a food truck too with great coconut shrimp, tacos, fish and chips, among other things. Definitely better than the state park if you’re looking for a more grown up gettaway. You can paddle to wekiva from here. Rick slings is a much farther paddled but you can get there from here as well“
“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.“
“Nice family owned Italian restaurant. Ample parking in their private lot. Service was top notch and very helpful explaining menu items. My date ordered smelt as an appetizer and explained she hadn't had it since she was a girl and was her dad's favorite. She ordered a special chicken and shrimp dish with a pink sauce and I had a chicken and Italian sausage dish both were outstanding. We capped it of with house made tiramisu.“
“The service was very good. The person who was attending us was super friendly and made good suggestions. The Po'Boy sandwich was tasty, but the coleslaw was not my favorite. The flavor was a little off. The desert was also not the best either, as it was premade and reheated, which did not taste fresh. The atmosphere is super relaxed and casual. They do have unlimited mimosas for $21 (I believe), which is nice if you want to have several of them. lol“
“1/27/2024What a great time. The bar tender did a great job describing the wines and were very attentive which was impressive because of how busy it was. The crowd was older and since I'm older, I didn't feel out of place. They had live music and even though I didn't think the singing was great, the instrumentation was good and upbeat and the band members were a lot of fun. I had a slice of the chocolate cake and that was good too and contrasted the wine beautifully. Loved it!Original PostInteresting atmosphere, lot of people there so it was buzzing. Would have liked more beer options, but overall good.“
“Our first time eating at Slidders and it met all of our expectations!This is the perfect pizza spot!We ordered an 18' pizza with pepperoni, bacon, and feta, and it was absolutely delicious! The owner was very sweet, friendly, and hospitable! They offer indoor seating and it's very clean. We will be visiting again when we're in town!“
