Owner of this shop molested my daughter in his shop. Please don't eat here.Do Not EAT HERE Owner IS RUDE and and over thinks things.People are so quick with an attitude in Orlando for some reason. All this could have been avoided if the owner approached me better.I went in today and owner approached me very negatively about my review I posted on here about them but its freedom of speech that he violated when it escalated and he just decided to kick me out and said was going to call the police and owner told me my perception is bad. Would never come here again and he said everything is being recorded but owner approached me not the other way around.I was here yesterday 11/14 and owner approached me very rude and with a whole lot of negativity saying I just want to make sure ordering something to eat or drink.I couldn't even get my laptop setup first before the owner came and bothered me and the when I asked the owner about it he denied the whole thing but I did order a drink.Then today I went back around 635 or so and ordered a bottle water and got my laptop setup and no one told me till last min they were closing at 7:00 but normally they open till 8:00pm on weekdays but they decided at the last min to close early I guess. The lady rushed me out the door struggling to put my laptop away. Very BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Came here last night for the live jazz jam hosted by local saxophonist Fort Occhino. What a fantastic place for excellent live music, great food, beer & wine. Hostess/server Katie was awesome. After tasting Chef Brandon’s food, it’s no surprise when I found out later he is has years of experience in fine dining establishments and was schooled at The Culinary Institute of America.The jazz music by young, local jazz musicians was amazing. 5 stars.Looking forward to my next visit!

We had brunch on the terrace. The listing states a view of Lake Eloa, however, the lake is a block away. The service that day was slow, and the food came out a couple of plates at a time. The brunch menu had variety and the food overall was good.

I have been here quite a few times. Always great. Extra excited to find out they serve breakfast. Potatoes were air fried with pesto… YUM. Not pictured is the biscuit and fig jam I got instead of toast. All that for $10. 2 eggs, toast, a side, and coffee was only $6 (i got an extra side). I honestly thought my bill was wrong. Friendly service is also an added bonus.

This place was so so good!! We were looking for another place for brunch and wandered here instead, and the menu sounded so good we stayed. The service was SO nice and knowledgeable, and checked in on us. They made my partner a roast beef sandwhich even though it technically wasnt lunch time, because I made a joke that he doesnt like eggs. The ONLY reason I took a star off is because there were a few gnats flying around us :( I only put this because I know your service was so great that you will work towards making your place a 10 star experience! The food was SO GOOD.

Love this new spot I stumbled across on a Sunday walk. I heard live music and immediately wanted to know what it was. Food look amazing however I didn't have anything to eat. The wine selection was pretty good. I enjoyed the live entertainment on Sunday - 5:30-8:30pm. Owner was very nice and provided great service. Living downtown, I've found a new Sunday evening spot.

Yum!!!! I was downstairs for a concert and there was jazz music coming from upstairs! It was sooo nice and it was live! Greg and Katie were so nice and let me and my whole family use the restroom. We decided to try one of the flatbreads they offer and I am so glad we did! I immediately wished we had gotten two of them! We tried the pork BBQ flatbread, I am drooling just thinking about it. I will definitely try to come back to try the pear and Gruyère flatbread next. Thank you guys so much!!! Keep doing what you're doing!

Walked by earlier in the week and saw it was open so we tried it on a Saturday afternoon. No close by parking and the closest parking lot was $15 flat rate. We walked 3 blocks away and found a meter, paid and went back. When we walked inside, we saw a poster menu of sandwiches, salads, etc. An employee walked by us a couple of times without saying anything, then on her third pass by, she said, somebody else was going to help us. We nearly left then. Finally I gave the second employee my order, but when I did the first employee looked over, said "we are only doing brunch now." 12 o'clock noon on a Saturday and we could not order sandwiches. We left without ordering anything.

I recently visited this Cafe and I must say that the experience was quite disappointing. The manager, in particular, was exceptionally rude and unprofessional. It's disheartening to see such behavior from someone in a leadership role. I believe customers should be treated with respect and courtesy, and this experience fell far short of that standard.

Walked in the small grocery area which had a good choice of grab and go items as well as some beer, wine, and bottled non alcoholic drink choices. When we walked into the restaurant we were greeted quickly by the staff. They have such a great variety of food from sandwiches to charcuterie board. We decided to share the carpaccio and the smaller charcuterie board. They do offer 2 sizes which is a nice option so if there are just 2 people you don't feel like that is all you can have since so many of them are on the larger size. The location is very classy, but casual to stop in for lunch or a great dinner. There is inside and outside seating with the outside seating that can see some of the lake from the patio as well.Looking forward to coming in on a Sunday night for the pasta dinner or brunch they offer. They are offering such a great selection of food at a high quality and reasonable price.
