Great food. I had the blackened chicken. Excellent as well as my friends veggie burger.

I was able to make a reservation for a large group a week in advance. The restaurant made sure to call me the day of and welcomed any last minute requests. When we showed up, we requested a table closer to the live music and they were very agreeable and quick to make this happen. The waitress was friendly, professional, and very attentive. Our food was served quickly considering the size of our group. Very happy with the service. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you're planning a dinner for a large group.
Online Fotos show restaurant with Tablecloth upscale. We all dressed up to celebrate Mom's birthday. On arrival no table cloth only bare tables We were the only people for 8pm dinner in a empty house all lights on very bright They ran out of their menu items. We ordered fish and they said only available for one . No Tender loin steak or hamburger buns No bottled water The waitress did her best but it's hard to serve when you constantly have to redirect the menu because lack of items. The risotto was more like dried up rice low on the sauce amount in the last plate . If you are not ready to cater for that day don't open the restaurant . When we booked through open table we specified it was a celebration. Family disappointed!

2 Stars for Thomas the server! If it weren't for him it would have been 1 or none. My friend and I went for dinner. We started with the calamari which was a little odd with Parmesan on it and then awaited our Chilean Sea Bass. Not our 1st choice but the other 3 fish options were not available. Romantic dinner in mind, I would discourage this location. The ice cream parlor that is located in the dining room was hopping so noise galore in addition to numerous loiterers waiting to purchase a scoop. Once our dinner arrived we both took a bite of the fish........much to our surprise it was either frozen or foul. It had an odd taste/flavor. The risotto was like sticky white rice. At this point we called over Thomas our server and asked him to kindly remove our dishes and bring us the check. The fish was removed from the bill which was nice. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant on any level.

Very Good Brunch, The Bottomless Bloody Marys and Mimosa's are Great.. Good Selection, Great Chicken & Waffles, Crab Cake eggs Benedict are Gooood, Jackie our Waitress was Great... We will be Visiting again Soon..

I looked at the reviews and thought that even though it was only 3.5 stars I would give it a try. What a mistake. The first bad sign was a near empty restaurant on a Saturday night. The second bad sign was dirty tables that sat near by for a long time. I ordered a margarita and it was actually made with sprite. The worst I had ever had. At that point I realized that I made a huge mistake and decided to leave. The waitress was great and the only bright spot. Not worth the big prices and terrible ambiance. Oh well.

I had high expectations and it fell abit short. I came to celebrate my son's birthday and even though I had initially indicated the reason for the occasion it was not acknowledged until we brought it up. The food was okay but nothing to bring me back.

If I could give it negative stars I would! The absolute worst place I've ever dined! Of the few tables with customers inside every one that night sent something back! Our table of 12 had more things wrong than right. If you can't cook a steak please don't put it on a menu! Took a full 45 minutes to even get the check! The manager couldn't have cared any less. Oh and let's not forget the roaches climbing up the walls and the live singer who could play guitar; too bad he ruined it by opening his mouth. Sounded like nails on a chalk board. Wish I could forget this whole evening.

We arrived on Friday night at 7 to an almost empty restaurant, that should have been a warning sign. There were people at the bar and only one bartender who was overwhelmed. We ordered appetizers: calamari ( Overdone ) Ahi Tuna and the Cauliflower bites. We were a table of six, four of the meals came out first, the steak that was ordered medium rare and came medium well, the other meals were acceptable. After about another 8-10 minutes the other two meals came out and were served cold. Very odd, an extra long wait to be served cold meals. We mentioned our irritation to the waiter and manager and got 50% off the two meals with no explanation as to why they came out cold. We wont be back.

I got the salmon and my date got the tomahawk. The salmon was good, but I wouldn't get it again. The tomahawk was amazing. We also got the cauliflower tapas - I highly recommend. The cauliflower had an Asian-type flavor but not too overwhelming.
Sub par food and mediocre service with high prices. We weren't impressed. The portions are small for what they charge and the flavor in even their simple dishes seemed lacking. We also had to explain how to make a non-alcoholic version of one of their cocktails to our server who still charged $13-$15 for what was basically juice.
Our party and every table around us had food delivered wrong multiple times! The singer was loud & shouldn't be singing anywhere other than his personal shower. The ice cream was the only decent thing all evening and it took almost an hour to get! Never had such a bad experience! Complete disappointment.

Best brunch in Orlando? How is this even possible? Food was a C- at best. Grand Marnier french toast had no flavor, like absolutely NONE, chicken was dry on chicken and waffles, standard breakfast doesn't come with toast. Ordered a side of toast and they don't have jelly. Setting is very pretty. Food is slightly better than Waffle House. Brought the Dads for Father's Day brunch. Highly disappointed. Best way to fix this place is to sell it to someone who has a professional chef and knows how to run a restaurant. I hate leaving bad reviews but in this case it is warranted in order to save others the disappointment of the dining disaster.
