    Churrasco quesadilla
    Mel Z.

    If you want to sit down and enjoy a sunny hot day, this would be the restaurant to pick at the Ritz-Carlton. We got seated right away and the pace of the meal was good. Our server was not great, since he took a while to come to our table, spilled ice on our table, did not refill our water and forgot to bring the condiments we asked. As for the food, it is overpriced but that is what you expect while dining at a high end hotel. We ordered the classic burger with caesar salad, the churrasco quesadilla, the classic burger with fries and a pitcher of farm fresh sangria. I was the only one that enjoyed the meal and the sangria. My burger was cooked well and the caesar salad even though it was small had a good dressing and good parmesan cheese. The sangria was light, refreshing and not overly sweet. The great ending to our meal with the sunny weather.

    This is a pool bar type setting. Outside seating that's under a roof. The service was very good, from the time you're greeted to the time you get the bill. The food was good, nothing great or had the wow factor though. Now the portions are something to write about. I ordered chicken Tenders and fries. The fries, by the way, are considered a side order. Extra money. They bought me out maybe 8 or 9 huge tenders! I mean it was enough for 2 people easily. The fries came in a large bowl, huge portion as well. 5 stars for quantity. The drinks were good, not a big selection on the menu, but I assume you can ask for a different drink made special. It's the Ritz-Carlton so expect everything to be overpriced. An order of chicken tenders, wings, 2 orders of fries, 2 drinks cost 135.00. Oh and they add 18% tip automatically to your bill, so be mindful of that.

    Stopped by right around opening time at 11 and met with friendly service. Erica was fantastic! It was a hot summer day but the seating was shaded which made it bearable. I loved the overall look of the place with pretty blue walls and matching color scheme of the furniture. We had free drink cards issued by the ritz and we were able to order drinks beyond the monetary stipulation- Erica was super patient and gave us great recommendations as we thought through our options. Ended up picking a mango mojito (delish), virgin strawberry mojito (equally yum and super sweet), and sangria (made with fresh fruit from the farm on site). The chips and salsa were shockingly my favorite thing- there was something about the salsa flavor I couldn't quite figure out but I wanted to keep eating. The wings were sweet and pretty big in size. The fish tacos would have been better with more sauce other than salsa. The salad was flavorful but also something I felt I could replicate at home. Would definitely come back for drinks and some apps!

    This place is amazing! We loved the salads, fries and turkey and avocado sandwich. Highly recommend this place

    Great view of the lake while you eat!

    Grabbed lunch here on our first day in Orlando. It was exactly what we were looking for....outdoor seating in this beautiful Florida afternoon and delicious food. I highly recommend the black bean and quinoa burger for the non-meat eaters!! My husband had a fresh grouper sandwich which looked wonderful! The house made chips are delicious (I "upgraded" to the fries and wished I hadn't). The view is great and the food is fresh and delicious...what more could you ask for! Our server was very friendly as well! We will be back!

    Fish Tacos. $20 or so.

    Bleu is the poolside restaurant at the Ritz Carlton Orlando. We changed and went down to the pool as soon as we checked in. A waitress promptly took our order and had our food and drinks out quickly. I ordered some sort of watermelon drink, the bartender knew what they were doing. Fish tacos were a bit on the small side, which is expected poolside and we intended it to just be a snack. Great little place to hang out.

    Part of the Ritz-Carlton a great place to unwind. Close to pool, lake, view, and libation's! Will definitely recommend. Service excellent, prompt, curious, and spot on. Everything you would expect from the Ritz-Carlton.

    Went to The Whiskey while in Orlando and listennnnn... they did NOT disappoint…read more First off... the burgers? Freaking AMAZING. I had the Salty Pear Burger and babyyyyy... that melted brie had me questioning my entire life . I was over there dipping the fries that came with the burger INTO the melted brie because why not?! Dang gone good. Juicy burger, flavorful, cooked right... just chef's kiss. Now let's talk about those fried sweet potatoes drizzled with cinnamon and homemade caramel... OMG. I was in complete awe. Sweet, salty, crispy, warm... yeahhhh they snapped with those. I love Brussels sprouts too, but I ain't even make it over there because them sweet potatoes had my full undivided attention . Hubby said the Brussels were DELISH though. And the Gin Smash?! Whew . The bartender absolutely DID THAT. Smooth, refreshing, dangerous in the "I might order another one" type of way . They have inside and outside seating plus a nice bar area that gives laid back but still vibey. The energy was easygoing and welcoming... not stiff or pretentious. Our server Monica was AMAZING. Personable, down to earth, attentive... just good people energy. She even brought me a small container of their pimento cheese and LISTENNNN... I cannot make this up. DELISH ‍. Fresh, flavorful, not overly creamy like some places do it. I was dipping EVERYTHING in it. Fries... burger... probably would've dipped my drink if nobody was looking . One thing I also appreciated was seeing the kitchen staff actively cleaning equipment and the grill area. Apparently this is something they regularly do because a friend shared she's witnessed the same thing before too... and honestly? That matters. Cleanliness and consistency will keep people coming back. All I know is I'm thankful I live in Tampa because if I lived closer, my wallet and waistline would both be stressed and I've come too far for that... But... I'll definitely be back

Happy hour was just starting or had started, but there wasn't anything on the happy hour menu that stood out to us. They had the Suncreek Brewery Strawberry ale on tap so I had a couple glasses of that. It's perfect for the summer. It's a very light and very refreshing beer. My husband drank Yuengling. We both end up getting a taster of Bourbon later on. My husband went with the six year Willet And really enjoyed it. He said it definitely got better the more that you drank. I opted for something that I've seen in the stores but haven't purchased yet. I was able to try both the dancing panda eight year as well as the dancing panda 10 year. A cheaper bottle of bourbon but definitely good flavor. The 10 was my favorite. For food, I got an order of the S & S sweet potato fries, which comes with a light caramel drizzle. These fries are cooked perfectly and so delicious. My husband got the garlic Parm wings, and while the crunch was perfect on them.(he ordered them crunchy) -he was not a fan of their garlic Parmesan sauce. It just felt like the garlic, overpowered any of the Parmesan. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and the two bartenders that were working the bar, were excellent and very attentive.

Let's focus on the positives first: the atmosphere is incredibly fun and the live music Saturday night was a perfect touch at the bar. There were plenty of fun activities for the kids and there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids with fried chicken and shrimp, macaroni and cheese, fries, and red velvet cupcakes. $25 is a deal if your child would chow down on shrimp, but it might not be a great deal if your child is usually full after four bites. Our server was absolutely fantastic, friendly and very attentive. We started off the dinner with some fantastic deviled eggs and a lemon cello cocktail. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was really disappointed with the tiny, overcooked shrimp and crawfish that accompanied the slightly bland grits. The shrimp on the kids buffet was at least four times larger than the sad little shrimp in my dish. I think the sausage was cut into smaller chunks just so it wouldn't be so obvious how small the shrimp was. My husband didn't love his heirloom tomato salad and said the Wagyu appetizer was disgusting. Dessert was mediocre. The macarons that accompanied my crème brûlée were stale and chewy. This is a fun spot for a drink and appetizer, but I would skip eating dinner at Highball & Harvest.

The staff is beyond friendly and always welcoming, the food is amazing, and the drinks are just as impressive. Everything is consistently on point.

    Good Vibes, But a Few Misses…read more We recently visited American Social for brunch and had a mixed experience. The atmosphere was lively and fun...definitely a great spot if you're looking for upbeat brunch energy. We started with the deviled eggs, and those did not disappoint. They were flavorful, well-balanced, and probably the highlight of our meal. For entrées, my husband ordered the brunch burger. The menu didn't list bacon, and even after our server double-checked to confirm it wouldn't come with bacon, the burger still came out topped with it. While mistakes happen, it was frustrating having to wait for the order to be remade while the rest of the table was already eating. I ordered the Fruity Pebbles chicken and waffles for my daughter. It was okay, but definitely on the sweeter side. The chicken itself was coated in cereal and then topped with syrup, which made the whole dish very sweet overall -- just a bit underwhelming for us. On a positive note, the kids' portions were great. The mac and cheese and chicken tenders were both solid and generously portioned. Overall, the food was a bit underwhelming for the price point, but I'd probably give it another try...if only for the Maui Mimosa. That drink alone might bring us back.

    I stopped into Sickies Garage Burgers & Brews for lunch during the workday and grabbed a seat at…read morethe bar since there was essentially no wait. The first thing I noticed walking in was that the restaurant was freezing. I was already dressed in full work attire with pants, long sleeves, and an undershirt, and it still felt uncomfortably cold inside. One of the more surprising moments came when I asked if they could cook my burger medium-rare. The response was basically, "We can't guarantee the temp. They usually come out medium-well." To her credit, the bartender was friendly and offered to note my preference on the ticket to improve the odds. What either wasn't explained clearly, or I completely missed initially, is that these are thinner burgers that are almost smashburger-style. Once the food arrived, that made a lot more sense, and honestly it would have been an easy clarification at the time of ordering. The service overall was fine. Seating was immediate, and bar service was a little on the slower side, though still within a reasonable range. My food, however, came out extremely fast once ordered. The restaurant itself strongly feels inspired by Ford's Garage. Between the décor, garage aesthetic, and even the benches outside, I think it was probably a former Ford's Garage location or a sister concept. Given the name "Sickies Garage," it's not exactly a huge leap. I'm honestly too lazy to do the leg work to look that up. One guy at the bar kept staring at me the whole meal, which was pretty unsettling... mostly because it was a life-sized skeleton pointed directly at me the entire time. (see photos ) On the positive side, the staff were friendly, honest about the food prep, and the menu selection is large, if heavily burger focused (because Burger bar). There are tons of burger options, sandwiches, salads, and sides. They also have a large bar setup with a solid beer selection on tap. The liquor selection was pretty limited, but this is clearly more of a burgers-and-brews place than a cocktail bar, so that's understandable. As for the food itself, it was just... okay. I ordered the Jameson burger with tater tots. Not bad at all, but not particularly memorable either. The burger wasn't overly flavorful on its own, and it was pretty obvious the expectation was for the toppings to do most of the heavy lifting. Between the thinner patty style and the toppings, the actual beef flavor was kind of lost. The tots were fresh and crispy and perfectly fine, but again, nothing that really stood out. Overall, the entire experience felt very middle-of-the-road: decent food, friendly staff, interesting atmosphere, but nothing that would pull me away from my favorite local burger spots. I'd give it 3 stars overall. Not a bad experience, just not one that really wowed me either.

I checked in when I arrived, and was told I could sit anywhere in the bar for faster service. I first sat in the show kitchen area, thinking that was a food bar. However, after not getting acknowledged, I moved to the main bar. My bartender (who goes by the letter H) greeted me and told me the tequila fix (13 dollars) was a good drink. Indeed it was with an ample amount of tequila, watermelon, and lime. It was quite refreshing and sweet. I took the popular pork chop dish (24 dollars), which was a big chop glazed in brown butter. It was pretty tender and flavorful with the glaze, and the romesco sauce made the flavors even better. It did get a bit gamey at the end, but I still enjoyed it. The vegetable was a generous amount of various colored carrots, which were thick and a bit crunchy. It had to be cut with a knife, but it was delicious, that the equestrian in me had a happy whinny. For dessert, the suggested cheesecake (9 dollars) was a winner as it was moist and fluffy, providing a sweet end. I saved some for home to enjoy the next day. My bartender was friendly and helpful. She was pretty busy, but still had a cheerful and engaging attitude. I also love the vibe as it was social and busy. The music kept the rhythm going, and the dining area is quite open and big. Outdoor dining is available as well. Sixty Vines reminds me of Cooper Hawks, but maybe a bit more upscale and lively. The food and drinks are great and the prices are pretty reasonable.
