“So delicious! Excellent service from everyone, especially our server Shaun. He was so thorough and answered all our questions. The Cedar Key clams were to die for! I had the scallops and my husband had the burger for dinner- so freaking amazing ! I can’t say enough about this place! The owner was walking through the dining room checking on everyone, greeting everyone - thank you Carol for an exceptional experience!“

“Ordered Bolay for lunch through the app and was so excited to find a free Bol coupon in my rewards! Ordering was super simple and straightforward and the ready time was super fast, under 15 minutes! Since this was during the workday, I needed to be able to get there and back with my food quickly to fit into my 30 minute lunch break! I was thrilled when I walked in and my order was all ready, packaged with napkins and my silverware and still warm! It was delicious too! Great option for a healthy and fast meal!“

“I had such a wonderful time here! My server was Emily, and she truly made the experience special. She was incredibly attentive, so if you have her as your server, please consider leaving her a generous tip she really excels at her job. The food was fantastic, and the photos turned out really great. Emily also recommended some great spots to visit while we’re in Florida. Overall, she was fantastic and made our visit memorable.“

“Excellent service Ty SONNIA I loved“

“The Wine Room is one of those places that makes Park Avenue feel special. The self-serve wine system is a lot of fun and makes it easy to sample wines you might never have ordered otherwise. Whether you’re a wine expert or just curious, the format takes the intimidation out of trying something new.

The atmosphere strikes a great balance between upscale and relaxed. It’s equally good for a date night, meeting friends, or simply unwinding after a long day. The selection is impressive, and the cheese boards and small plates pair perfectly with the experience.

The staff was knowledgeable and happy to offer recommendations without being pushy. If you’re spending time in Winter Park, this is one of those spots that’s worth making part of the evening.

A unique Park Avenue staple and one of the most enjoyable wine experiences in Central Florida.“

“Great service good food selection😎“

“First visit to The Porch enjoyed myself immensely“

“Erin at Bolay Oviedo made our catering experience easy from start to finish. She was easy to communicate with, and our order for 100 school staff and teachers was ready right on time with plenty of food to go around.
This was our second year using Bolay for Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week at Choices in Learning Elementary, and it won't be our last — the food was a huge hit and loved by all. Thanks again, Erin!“

“Had to leave a review about our visit this afternoon at Winter Garden location. First of all the fried calamari was the best we have ever had! All,of the food was great! I also wanted to brag on our server Eve. Extremely attentive VERY personable. We thoroughly enjoyed talking to her. Will be asking for her when we visit from now on. Everything was GREAT!“

“EVERYTHING I have ever tried here is amazing! First experience was Thanksgiving for a party of 8. We literally got one of everything off the menu and let’s just say zero left overs! The empanadas are OUT OF THIS WORLD! The drink menu is Astrology themed and if you are into space/ astronauts the decor will excite you! There is even a couple selfie photo spots that are space themed. Desserts are TRULY special get the super nova it’s a whole experience! You will not be dissatisfied at all Truly a favorite spot!“

“Visited during Sunday Brunch and LOVED it! Food and service was OUTSTANDING! Manager Nate welcomed us like family and Kayla our server was also amazing! They both gave us great recommendations and were spot on! The endless shrimp, sirloin and crab legs, plus a Pasta Bar and small plates make the brunch a great deal!! I ordered off the menu and loved the flatbreads and burgers! Highly recommend! Flavorful diverse food menu at affordable prices! LOVE! I will definitely be back!“

“Amazing experience. It was our first time there for lunch and everyone was very nice. The onion rings are to die for. I had one of the new bowls and it hit the spot! Our server was great and took very good care of us making sure to even give my child a toy car at the door. We will definitely be back!“

“Grabbed a smash burger at Milkhouse, and it seriously hit. Super flavorful patty, excellent crust, and the house-made sauce really tied everything together. The pickles tasted house-made too, which is always a good sign and added the right punch of acidity.

The whole experience felt artisan without being pretentious—quality ingredients, done right. The atmosphere fits the Milk District perfectly, and the location makes it an easy stop whether you’re already nearby or intentionally heading over.

Solid food, great vibe, and definitely a place I’ll be going back to.“

“The BEST! If you are looking for the best of everything in a dining experience, look no further then Marlow's Tavern. A true gem! When you walk in, it's too a sparkling clean dining area, with a coziness that envelopes you in comfort with deep colors, and the a/c is just right, the background music is just right, and the hostess finds you a nice corner that accommodates a mobility scooter and the other 3 in your family are comfortably seated in a wrap around booth. The table is not attached to the floor so that even larger members of your party, can be comfortable. Our waiter, Mario was top notch right from the start, explaining to us how the restaurant is a cut above a typical restaurant by making everything from scratch the food and the drinks (even the drink juices and mixers are all made fresh in house) We wanted a tropical drink that was not in the menu, they made us exactly what we were looking for! Then the chef came out to personally greet us and welcome us even providing us with a surprise that made us feel like VIP's. Our waiter described a few of his own favorite dishes. And answered our questions and advised us on the menu to meet our specific tastes along the way. Then came the food!!! We ordered a crab dip with buttered saltines, shrimp and grits, a lump crab salad, prime rib french dip, and asparagus fries. We LOVED every single bite(and ate every single bite, stopping just short of licking the plates) The BEST of everything, each forkful a delight and the best we have ever had! I mean the best crab dip. The best shrimp and grits( 2 members of our party mentioned that they were going to share, it was plated perfectly on two plates, with more shrimp on 1/2 the order then we had ever seen on a full order! The shrimp were succulent, firm, tasty and cooked to perfection.) The prime rib was cooked exactly as it should be and so tender it just melted in your mouth. Asparagus fries we almost fought over, a nice twist on one of our favorite veggies. The food was so good we even had to get 2 desserts to go(we were to full to eat more but it was so good!) that we wanted to try the desserts. As we were leaving, some live music started playing. Our only regret is this was only a quick stop for us before heading out on a cruise. We would have loved to be able to try everything on the menu, it was a difficult decision to decide on just one appetizer and one entree. Go and ENJOY THE BEST!!!“

“While on a business trip I found this place just a few blocks from my hotel. My co-worker and I were both very pleased with the food. I am a sucker for a good steak and blue cheese. The wedges with the blue cheese and balsamic we're fantastic, steak cooked to perfection. Bruschetta was an excellent starter and I recommend it for my fellow bruschetta lovers out there. I'm not spelling her name right probably but kadesha was our waitress and she was very attentive and friendly. Thank you.“

“What a wonderful dining experience my family had at Metro Diner. The food was so amazing and the portions were very large, but what topped off our experience wonderfully was our waitress Karen. She was very pleasant personable and made us feel like we were old friends that came to visit. Karen was so helpful and attentive to our needs and she even threw in some good ol’ humor to make us laugh. Thank you again for your service and we look forward to seeing you again! Dale L.“

“We had an amazing time at Keg Social Orlando celebrating a birthday! We enjoyed bowling, axe throwing, and the arcade, which provided hours of fun. The venue offers something for everyone, regardless of age—our group ranged from 11 to 41 years old, and everyone had a blast. The food and drinks from the bar were fresh and delicious, and the DJ kept the party atmosphere lively. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable outing for all ages!“

“Family owned and operated so the food is made with lots of love because it’s that darn good. Best Greek dressing you will ever taste made from scratch daily. I would get the Greek chicken wrap or a salad. One of downtowns hidden gems. Love it!“

“Bonfire at Winter Pines is one of our go‑to spots for after‑work or post‑golf dinners. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, with indoor and outdoor seating, fire pits, and a view that feels like a step above the ordinary. The staff are always friendly and on top of their game. Whether we’re there for networking receptions or casual hangs, the food and craft cocktails hold up—solid menu variety and no compromises. It’s easy to find and consistently delivers. Highly recommend for any business event or casual night out.“

“Love coopers! Best wine, best vibes & love our waiter James. Always so attentive“
