20 Best Wine Bars near Altamonte Springs

“In town for a business event and happened to find this gem of a restaurant. I was lucky to be seated quickly because 85% of the tables were reserved. The staff was the most friendly and eager to please. Alexa in particular was dealing with some rather demanding customers, and she did it with a smile and grace. The six formaggi pizza was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had- the crust was stuffed with ricotta and I was in heaven. The Gorgonzola was a very forward flavor, so if bleu cheeses aren’t your favorite I’d make the pizza a five formaggi instead. The chocolate mousse was also light and delicate. I will go out of my way to return on future trips to the area.“

“Figs Prime provided a wonderful setting for our anniversary celebration. The tuna tartare and rack of lamb were delicious, cooked just right. The bread pudding was a delightful end to the meal. Overall, a great experience worth repeating.“

“The food was amazing and Alberto was the person who help me navigate a the info there and was really useful.“

“Really enjoyed the atmosphere and decor within the restaurant. The service was pretty great and welcoming. I must say it was very hot and humid inside the establishment while I was was enjoying brunch. The food looked good and was pretty tasty aswell.“

“As a local in Orlando for 18 years this place has been an institution. It's been loved by the community for 25 years. Paul has been the lifeblood of keeping an awesome community coming back. The wine club he curates is one of the most unique in Orlando with boutique selections you can't find anywhere else. Don't sleep on the charcuterie board or happy hour!!!“

“We dined at Sparrow during a recent trip to Orlando, and overall, we really enjoyed our meal. Before visiting, I had only read a handful of reviews, but I remembered one mentioning a less-than-ideal table tucked against a curtain in a small corner. Unfortunately, that was exactly where we were seated. We felt a bit cramped, and the table next to us was so close that they commented on our food throughout the meal.

Thankfully, the food largely made up for it. The Endive Salad was excellent. I loved the flavors and the way it was served almost like lettuce wraps. The steak with blue cheese was cooked perfectly, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. The standout dish for me was the Cacio e Pepe Fries; I’ll be dreaming about them for a long time. The Lumache Alla Vodka was also delicious.

The only dish that missed the mark was the Gambas a la Ajillo. The tableside presentation felt awkward and unnecessary. The server chopped the shrimp and egg with two spoons, poured a bowl of chips on top, and then crushed them into the dish. It almost felt like a joke, and honestly, I would have preferred the dish without the presentation. The flavors were also a bit too salty for our taste.

For dessert, we had the Sparrow Chocolate Cake, which was very good. Next time, though, I’d love to try the cheesecake or one of the ice cream offerings.

Despite the seating issue and one disappointing dish, we would absolutely return. Hopefully we'll get a different table next time and another order of those incredible Cacio e Pepe Fries.“

“Great place to get a drink and relax“

“Phenomenal great, family owned vegan options. The food is always amazing. It’s great to support small family owned businesses!“

“Hands-down my favorite place to go for a casual hangout. The employees are knowledgeable, the menu is extremely reasonably priced considering the quality of food they offer, the atmosphere is intimate and lowkey. If I move out of Orlando, this place is going on “must revisit every time” list.“

“My girlfriends and I went out for Sunday brunch. Let me just say the Welcoming atmosphere was refreshing. They treated us like stars. The Crab cake eggs Benedict was amazing and delicious 😋. We also had Derby Sage cheese with figs and sourdough bread and pumpkin bread this was quite an appetizer. All of us were truly appreciative of how good this cheese really was. I had a cranberry Mimosa that was out of this world delicious. My friend had the Chicken and waffles and she said the breading on the chicken was quite delightful. The rooftop patio was beautiful though getting slightly hot since it is June in Orlando Florida. The table settings were beautiful and precise. We had a Fabulous time, great food, superior service and beautiful atmosphere, who could ask for more. I definitely recommend eating here. Make a reservation for best table.“

“Best location to relax with a cold beer (wine and NA beverages too). Scenery is beautiful. Vibe is good. The name is cute. Need more Tooting merch please!“

“The bartender makes this place. Live entertainment is awesome too! But Martino “Tino” is the whole Reason we visit. Above and beyond great service ❤️“

“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."“

“Go here for the BEST girls night. The vibes are so cute and service is great. I thought overall the food was alright, but I think it was a personal preference of the types of food offered. Loved the hummus plate, and the drinks were great! Will definitely be coming back. 🩵“

“Great fast friendly service and the food was superb.“

“William at the bar is the reason I would come back.

He handled an influx of patrons after hundreds of MCO flight cancellations. He was the only person behind the bar and took my drink order, take out order and dine-in order without missing a beat.

The following night, he served my entire family in the dining area while managing the bar.“

“The vegetarian options here are outstanding. The chef recently recommended the ratatouille, and it was truly beyond words—absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.“

“Vino y cervezas 🍺 y excelente ambiente“

“I go to Spill about twice a month. Once for great music and the other for fun trivia. I have to say that the two young woman who are always there are phenomenal! I don’t know if other customers notice how hard they work all night , but I do and I commend them. Always a smile , sweet and polite, fast with service! I really don’t know how they keep up, but they do , perfectly. To the owner, you’ve got two gems working for you.“

“Wonderful coffees and chocolates, so tasty and lovely baristas. Cool to find a Lithuanian shop!💙“
