    Reservations required. The restaurant has a cozy, intimate, romantic I'd say European style vibe- maybe the decor, dimly lit. The first floor has a bar with dining area and patio area. The second floor has a cute covered roof top patio with bar and dining area- which makes it more lively. We sat on the rooftop patio. The service was great as well as the food. The menu is carefully curated and it changes often- we were told it may differ week to week. I think it's a good spot for date or night out with friends.

    We made a reservation for 8:30, but arrived at 8:15 and were seated right away. Since the restaurant closes at 9, they weren't too busy, which was nice. We had a nice table right by the patio and were able to enjoy looking outside as well as inside the restaurant. Our waiter, John, greeted us quickly after we sat down and brought us water and menus. I ended up ordering a mocktail that had ginger beer, grapefruit juice, and jalapeno and it was so delicious. The bite from the ginger with the kick from the jalapeno really hit the spot. I ordered from the Bite30 menu and started with the Fried Goat Cheese. I get the goat cheese literally everytime I come here. It is divine and the citrus from the tomato salad complements it really well. For my entree, I ordered the Ahi Tuna Stack. With how hot is has been recently, it was so light and refreshing. I was pleasantly surprised by how much tuna came with it. I ended with the Chocolate Cake. I was only able to eat a couple bites before boxing it up, but it was incredible. The whip cream was my favorite part. The entire time we were there, John was attentive and fun. He seemed genuinely happy to be there and his energy was infectious. I never go out with a purse but for some reason I had one with me tonight and I didn't even realize that I left the restaurant without it. We got to our car and started driving through the parking lot to leave and John chased us down and brought me my purse. John, thank you!

    This is a very cute place in an unexpected location. Plenty of parking due to the other businesses around it, including a grocery store. Next time I hope to check out the rooftop but even the downstairs bar area was very nice. Staff was excellent, very attentive without feeling hovery, my party ordered burgers, Asian chicken, drinks, key lime pie, and chocolate lace cake. All were good. The smash burgers did arrive pretty undercooked but the waiter was quick to replace them and second round was perfect. They are inKind which is a big plus for me!

    All the employees here were wonderful and knowledgeable. Loved the decor with the light up present door frame and glowing wreath. Nice heaters thoughout the upstairs area. Cool firepit table outside with rooftop views Pretty condensed menu so was expecting that the few times they do have must mean they do them pretty well. Only 6 main plates entrees, 8 apps choices, caviar, cheeses and desserts Got the escargot with a brandy mustard cream sauce that was very tasty but a tad salty and the super tender beef short rib with my favorites purple carrots and divine mashed potatoes The Triangle Martini sample of 3 different gin martinis, no vodka substitutes, in 3 super cute perfectly sized martini glasses came with citrus, lavender and pickle flavors Great place for some delicious food and superb cocktails!

    Just WOW to Bites & Bubbles. What a cozy and inviting setting, friendly staff, all around good ambiance. Now I must say we will be back because we fell in love with the escargot dish! Not your traditional escargot with garlic/wine and a very small amount. The escargot set in a brandy mustard crème sauce with small tender bits of veggies and double the amount of escargot- some lovely sourdough Italian bread. We followed this with a large charcuterie board. Holy cow was it big!! Assortment of delicious cheeses, meats, dips, bread and a little tasty dessert. Quality was amazing all around. I highly recommend checking out Bites & Bubbles.

    The rooftop lounge
    Greg L.

    Absolutely a fun and enjoyable Magical Dining experience! The ambiance was amazing on the rooftop lounge, and the food was perfection. We made our reservation for 8:30pm and we were greeted warmly by "Bubbles" when we arrived. Although I had requested patio seating, we asked if we could "take a peek" at the rooftop lounge area. Bubbles led us up to the second level and stated if a table was available, we could choose to sit there instead. Once we saw the beautiful and spacious setting, we knew this was the place we wanted to spend the evening. As luck would have it, a table was available, and we happily took it. Our server was Jeff, and he made a major contribution to this five-star review (along with the food!) He explained the menu, discussed recommendations, answered our questions and checked on us throughout the evening. He even provided fun banter throughout as we relished our 2-hour plus dining experience. We both ordered the mussels to start and they were beyond amazing. They were plentiful, too. In fact, this appetizer could easily feed two people. The brandy mustard creme sauce was the pinnacle of flavor that made this dish stand out! So glad this selection came with a nice slice of bread to soak up that sauce. For the main course, my friend ordered the lamb shank (which fell off the bone; the cumin tomato sauce gave it a nice kick) and I ordered the beef bourguignon (which was absolutely delicious). We shared our entrees and exclaimed how perfect both dishes were. Each entree was also accompanied by tasty root vegetables and mashed potatoes. We were both pretty full before the dessert came out, but we heard so many people compliment the key lime pie, we had to select it. It was one of the best key lime pies we both have tasted, tart and sweet in a perfect combination. The cookie on top was a nice touch, also. Not to be forgotten, we both ordered The Martini Triangle for our drink selection. It consisted of three miniature gin martinis, each with its own distinctive craft style. The trio included a citrus-forward item, a lavender infused selection and salty pickle brine component that to both of our surprise was really quite good as well as interesting. We left Bites and Bubbles in perfect contentment. Bubbles once again met us at the door, inquired on how the evening went and was the perfect host. We thanked him and Jeff for such an incredible evening and told him we look forward to seeing them again. There are ten more days of Magical Dining to truly experience a magical event, and I highly recommend you make a reservation to acquaint yourself to this dining achievement.

    When the Magical Dining menus came out this past summer, I vetted every single one of them, and Bites & Bubbles easily was in the top six of menus. I had never been before, so I was doubley excited about finally getting to check the place out. Ambiance was very nice. I strode past the cozy, intimate dining room, and went up the stairs to a snazzy little rooftop dining patio. Tables spaced apart to give you plenty of privacy, a nice view out over the Mills 50 area, and a large covered roof to shield you from sun and rain. I really enjoyed the ambiance. Service was excellent. Our guy was incredibly attentive, checked in after we had a few bites, kept the drinks coming, just awesome service. No issues there. Now for the food. The menu looked like a banger, and it Was a banger. Apps Fried Goat Cheese (panko and almond crusted goat cheese, roasted tomatoes, fruit salsa, warm bread). Breading around the goat was impeccable with a very satisfying crunch. The roasted tomato goo on top was very acidic to balance out the very tangy goat. Perfectly paired. Very refined app. Big fan. Escargot (escargot, brandy mustard crème sauce, garlic. escargot... our way). Hands down the most snails I have ever seen in an escargot dish. Very generous! The creme sauce was wonderfully garlicky and was excellent to sop up with the bread on the table. The decorative shells were also a really fun way to eat with your eyes first. Mains Seafood Diablo (homemade squid ink pappardelle pasta, shrimp, bay scallops, mussels, spicy tomato garlic sauce, bread). Wow, these were some wide noodles! At least an inch wide. Very fun. Huge shrimp were cooked well, plentiful bay scallops, well cooked mussels, and a bonus clam I wasn't expecting. The sauce was zingy, but not too spicy, just delicious, so don't worry, if you're afraid of spicy. Duck Confit (confit duck leg & thigh, country stuffing, duck gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry relish). Thanksgiving dinner, but with a major upgrade at the protein position. Fall off the bone duck, chunky, flavorful stuffing, great mash, and a just-sweet-enough relish to really make this plate pure nostalgia. Desserts Key Lime Pie (traditional key lime pie, whipped cream). A great KLP. Not too tart, and not too sweet, so I suspect that real Key Limes were used. A nice little crust with some bite. A real winner. Tiramisu (espresso lady fingers, sweet & creamy mascarpone, cocoa powder). This was mostly good. The lady fingers were soaked to the point where they were just too soft to barely notice. Sweetness and cocoa powered flavors. Good, not excellent, but probably still way better than the generic fudge cake. Overall, this was my second Magical Dining restaurant of the season, and it is so far winning the competition for best meal. I was really surprised, and I will be coming back for more!

    Pros: Bites & Bubbles participated in Magical Dining Month this year, and I love that. I always go to as many participating restaurants as I can, to support those to support our city. Ambiance was gorgeous. We sat on the roof, overlooking Mills 50 on a gorgeous summer night. Very comfortable chairs, too. Service was perfect. He was very attentive and kept the drinks coming. The food also came out at a steady pace. Food was amazing. Six stars. Everything was cooked well, the portions were hearty, and the items were unique. Cons: Not a single con. All the wasted years beforehand of not coming here is the only con I can see. Tips: Get the Magical Dining. Get the goat cheese, the duck leg, and the Key lime pie. Amazing, amazing dishes.

    Chocolate cake
    Stephany S.

    One word: wow. We had a wow-worthy dinner at Bites and Bubbles. We came for Magical Dining, shared a reasonably priced bottle of cabernet, and enjoyed a delicious meal on their spacious covered outdoor patio. I started with the escargot, but this was no ordinary preparation. It came smothered in a creamy mustard sauce and the portion was absolutely generous. For dinner, I chose the duck confit. The meat slid right off the bone and reminded me of a Thanksgiving feast, only elevated to something far more refined. It was served with mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. I will be thinking about that dish for a long time. To finish, I had the chocolate cake. Two slices, a cherry on top, and just the right amount of indulgence to complete the evening. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. Do yourself a favor and go. You will have a wonderful evening filled with wonderful food and great service.

    Lamb Shank
    Justin C.

    Wow, considering the season Bites & Bubbles certainly impresses. From the moment we walked in, the decor and even the food was Halloween/Fall themed. We sat on the 2nd floor which is entirely outside and lucky for us it did not rain. The Magical Dining menu was amazing: Escargot - unique take with savory sauce and scrumptious bread to pair. Fried Goat Cheese - cool presentation with really tasty fruit salsa. The goat cheese was rich with flavor. Lamb shank - lamb that melted off the bone paired with a very classic fall themed carrots and green beans + delicious mashed potatoes. Duck Confit - reminded me of Thanksgiving meals with the country stuffing, duck gravy, cranberry relish. Tiramisu - very good mascarpone Chocolate Fudge Cake - definitely recommend this it was huge. The double layer cake was paired with a very candy corn on the side and a "bloody" sauce. Very delish! The service was amazing, super attentive. The pacing of the food was also great.

    espresso martini with tequila
    Catherine L.

    Bites and Bubbles delighted me more than soap bubbles could. For my birthday, I decided I wanted to have dinner at a nice rooftop bar that wasn't going to cost me an arm and a leg and not taste good. I've heard plenty about them from Magical Dining, Visit Orlando, publications, and more. They have quite the reputation. We got there around 7:00 PM. They weren't overly busy on a Friday night but the host immediately welcomed us in and was very charismatic. They indulged my request for a table on the roof, which was really nice for pictures. The waiter was friendly and my partner enjoyed his banter. The rooftop over looks Mills Ave and a little park below the restaurant. To start, I got the Rosie Cheeks, which is a made with Empress Gin, rose simple syrup, fresh squeezed lemon, and house bubbles. He got a mocktail which was very good and nice for those who aren't drinking. Rosie Cheeks gets a 10/10 for being sweet but not overly so and well balanced. For main course, we got the alligator andouille sausage and shrimp in a cajun cream sauce pasta. This was a 10/10. it was so good and filling. I was surprised by the spicy kick it had and that alligator sausage is pretty good. We also got the crab cake served on mash potato and sauce. This was my favorite dish of the night and made me audibly react and gets a 100/10. I did order fries as a side. The fries were wedges in a spiral shape, but didn't overly impress. They got a 8/10. I ended the night with an espresso martini, no birthday song being sang to me. The espresso martini was delicious and a bit strong. I don't know what tequila the bartender put in it, but it did kinda knock me off my seat. It gets a 9/10. The meal cost about $120, not including tip. It definitely is a treat or a special occasion. However, the food was so good and the service was so nice that I really enjoyed it and would come back for another special occasion in the future. Overall rating is a 9/10.

    I visited Bites & Bubbles during Magical Dining with a friend, and overall it was a very different and interesting experience. We made reservations, so seating was quick with no wait. Parking is in a nearby garage, just a short walk away, which was convenient. We sat at a high-top indoors, though the restaurant also offers outdoor seating. The atmosphere felt relaxed, more catered to an older crowd, with a laid-back vibe. We started with cocktails I had the BB OnlyFans and my friend had the Mai Tai in Paradise. Both drinks were excellent: creative, well-balanced, and enjoyable. For an appetizer, we tried the smoked fish dip, but it lacked flavor and didn't stand out. For entrées, my friend ordered the Seafood Diablo and I went with the Beef Bourguignon. Both dishes were unique but fell a bit short on flavor and presentation more of an "experience" than a memorable meal. Dessert was the highlight of the evening. The Key Lime Pie and Chocolate Fudge Cake were both solid choices and a nice way to end on a sweet note. Overall, Bites & Bubbles offered a unique dining experience with great cocktails and desserts, but the main courses didn't quite meet expectations.

    Fried goat cheese
    Ashlynn H.

    The service was quick and our waiter was very attentive. My bf has a peanut allergy and he really worked to help my bf find the right things to eat. I did the bite 30 deal and was happy with the variety of dish options. All the dishes I ate were delicious but my favorite dish was the fried goat cheese. I thought it was absolutely delicious. I think it would benefit maybe adding an extra part of bread so that once all the crust falls off there is still more texture. I will definitely be back to try more especially with their often changing menu.

    At what days/time is happy hour? Thanks!

    I was concerned that it would end up closing due to operations similar to the Funky Monkey but was surprised at how well the restaurant is doing.

    May give this one a try soon, how does it compare to the owners prior joint, The Funky Monkey?

    its small and personal like before but very updated. It has a great bar now that runs the length of the room. The menu is great.

At this time, the restaurant was quiet, but by the time we left the place was packed. It should be noted we left at closing time as we had such a fun and enjoyable experience. Our happiness (and the fact we spent almost seven hours here) was due to our server, Emily B. Although Emily told us she has only been working as a server here for the last two weeks, I think she will have a great run at this location. She has an effervescent personality and was easy to talk to and laugh with, which she displayed to all of her customers. Obviously, we became good friends with her throughout the night. Emily allowed us to have a tasting of various wines to determine which one we would like to select for the evening. We went with the Adelsheim Pinot Noir ($88 a bottle) to start the night. We ordered the Bacon Wrapped Dates (serving of three), the Burrata (a combination of cheese, basil pesto, tomatoes and balsamic dijon vinaigrette on wood grilled ciabatta bread), the Tuna Crudo (seared ahi tuna with cucumbers, pineapple and cilantro) and a board consisting of Spanish style salame and aged Gouda cheese. The board also had roasted almonds and honeycomb, along with the bread. As the night continued, we ordered another bottle of the Pinot Noir and a second helping of the fantastic Burrata. We appreciated the fact that we were not rushed from our table as we were allowed to have a relaxing and enjoyable evening of great conversation. At the end of the night, Emily provided us with a slice of olive oil citrus cake on the house. (What a thoughtful touch!) It was a heavenly ending to the evening and went well with our wine selection. If you are ever at this Winter Park location, I highly recommend you request Emily B.'s section if you are able to do so. As stated above, she made our evening. Thank you, Emily B!

We ordered one bottle of champagne and with 5 of us, we would have happily and easily ordered another since we were there to visit and catch up.

It is located in the Mills 50 district next to Tori Tori (another local FAV). It is truly a nice little getaway spot from the usual hustle and bustle of the Mills 50 bar scene. They have seating indoors and outdoors. Their outdoor patio area is charming and adorned with umbrellas, and the fountain just adds a special touch, as well as masks the typical street sounds of passing cars and passersby. In the cooler months, the patio is just a vibe! The interior is just as charming with "French-inspired" influences, lovely lighting & decor that ties in the European escape this wine bar beautifully embodies. On my first visit, we tried to sit outdoors, but the Florida heat (& bees) had other plans for us. So, we transitioned inside and sat at their bar area. We were immediately greeted by the kindest servers who guided us on their menu selections. My friend and I, with similar wine tastes (we both love our wines DRY like DESERT), both opted for a glass of rosé and YUM! We followed it up with a white selection recommended by our server, and we enjoyed it immensely. Truly ten, ten, tens across the board! We did not eat (which, in all honesty, is okay with me). And based on reviews from various other Yelpers, the consensus SEEMS to be to eat prior to coming to Lorelei. So, I kept that in mind and on my second visit to Lorelei, I decided to just try MORE of their wine selection. On my most recent visit, we did try some light bites. Typically, on all my visits, I usually cap around two glasses of wine, and it's reasonable. They are not the cheapest spot, especially if you add food to your tab, but for the quality, it is worth it (to me as it relates to the wine selection), as I haven't really had a terrible glass of wine there. Maybe on my next visit, I'll try more of their food menu. Beyond that, Lorelei has been a great addition to the Mills 50 District! I am looking forward to how they will grow with the community!

    Absolutely beautiful restaurant. Such a pretty spot to grab a glass…read more We went later in the evening, and it was very slow, only a few tables with guests so we sat right away and were able to get a glass of wine promptly. They were slowing down pretty early, which could be expected for a hot summer evening in Orlando.

    I was only here for a glass of wine, but they had a cacio y pepe on the menu we had to try. It…read morecame out hot and fresh cooked and was super delicious. It was not too pepper forward (which I prefer). I was excited to try this out of the way wine bar, but was a little disappointed that their extensive list is more bottles and not by the glass. Just putting this out there for awareness since I will plan to come in for some food and be able to pair with a bottle of wine to explore the full experience. The staff was very knowledgeable about all of the different wines and helped to select the best glass for what I was in the mood for that evening. The bar was very clean and there is a lot more space then what you see when you first walk in. It was all very clean and modern looking inside. Looking forward to my next trip in.

They have a great patio outside too for those nice Florida nights. The wine list was extensive but the by the glass options were limited to about a dozen or so. I understand they have have 100 open bottles hanging around waiting for someone to order a glass. I assume (and hope) that the by the glass options change frequently. While speaking to staff I was informed of the full food menu that is available after 5 pm. I just had to see how they did with Cacio e pepe and wow I was surprised. This is a basic dish but it was executed perfectly. I certainly will be back again soon to order that again. I would take someone else who would enjoy but while they like Pasta they don't do wine. I did see they have some "mocktail" type drinks but maybe 1 or 2 soda or seltzer options might be nice to allow more people to enjoy.

    Not exaggerating when I say this is my fav pizza in Orlando. It's like impossible to get a seat…read morehere unless you have a reservation. The first time I went, I sat on the bar and I enjoyed it a lot. The second time I sat outside and it was super hot but still worth it. I always order their hot honey pepperoni pizza & it blows me out of the water every time. They have a pretty good happy hour with some nice selections. I ordered theCetriolo that contains cucumber vodka, agave, lime, white cranberry, & basil. It was light and pleasant. It made the heat way more bearable!

    5/5 - One of the Best Meals on Park Avenue…read more Prato continues to prove why it's one of Winter Park's most talked-about restaurants. From the moment the food hit the table, everything looked as good as it tasted. The Margherita pizza was outstanding--perfectly blistered wood-fired crust with a light, airy chew, fresh mozzarella, bright tomato sauce, and basil that let every ingredient shine. Simple, authentic, and executed flawlessly. The chicken sandwich was equally impressive. The chicken was crispy without being greasy, topped with fresh mozzarella and tomato on soft, fresh bread. Paired with perfectly seasoned crispy fries, it made for an excellent lunch. The espresso martini was the perfect finishing touch--smooth, rich, and beautifully balanced with a creamy foam that coffee lovers will appreciate. The outdoor patio on Park Avenue creates a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for people-watching while enjoying an authentic Italian meal. Service was attentive without feeling rushed, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. If you're looking for some of the best wood-fired pizza in Central Florida, Prato is absolutely worth the visit. Whether you're stopping in for lunch, date night, or drinks with friends, it's easy to see why Prato has become a Winter Park favorite known for its modern Italian cuisine and lively atmosphere.
