It's been a while since I've been back but it is still as pretty as ever!…read more This is such a great spot for remote work. The music isn't too distracting in any way and there are plenty of tables to sit at during the day. I ordered one of their seasonal offerings and it was really good! It wasn't something I would've ordered for myself but honestly, the person behind the counter did such a great and accurate job of describing it that I went for it. It was the Montenegro which was an iced Americano, lemon oleo and black sesame cold foam. I love a black sesame anything so I was in at that point. The lemon oleo is something I had never experienced in a coffee and it definitely elevated the experience. It did take a minute to get the drink out to me but if I'm being honest, I didn't realize it because I was chatting with a friend. I'd like to try and come visit this place in the evening time. I bet they make a killer espresso martini and it seems like they have events often.

The Bistro Bar located within the UCF Courtyard Marriott is a decent mini restaurant bar and grill…read morewhich provides guests with a paid meal option for breakfast, lunch and dinner until 10pm as well as a full service bar in the daytime and evenings/nights. Elite guests receive a free full breakfast buffet. John the barkeep in the evenings was quite good in mule and margarita making.

If you opt to stay at UCF Courtyard, Recommend that you check out the Bistro Bar for a quick bite and drinks.

Ordered the 1/2 lb. crab leg/shrimp/potatoes/corn, and sausage boil bag with extra 1/2 lb. Snow crab. We only asked for garlic, butter seasoning, I ended up asking for Old Bay seasoning to get some kind of flavor. The only complaint I had was the shrimp were cooked too much. They were tough. The restaurant was constantly being cleaned, and the bathroom was pretty clean also. I have to say that this business is quite big and there wasn't that many people there. I hope they get a lot busier than they were today, because they won't be open long if not.

The place was clean and did not have any seafood smell to it. Sometimes you never know with a seafood boil type place. This time I got the catfish basket with fries. The pieces of catfish were very good. Could have used a little bit seasoning in the batter but overall good. It comes with 4 good sized pieces and a large amount of fries. The fries were a little plain and needed lots of salt and pepper. Overall good experience once again

Once again I came for Bite30. The experience was amazing just like last year. The staff is good…read more The only difference was probably the amount of food we got. Last year they were very generous, this year the portion was a bit smaller, but still very delicious. I tried the camel empanadas which came with a delicious sour sauce. For main dish, I had the grill watermelon chicken. The chicken was very tender and had a spicy sweet taste. For my dessert I tried the cake with was very rich in flavor and sweet. I loved it!

Other than that, the food was great. I sampled a few items of the apps that people ordered. From what I can remember, the truffle fries really stood out. For my entree, I got the chopped elk medium cooked. It was fantastic. Very delicious and almost tasted like a really beefy meatloaf. Not gamey at all. The sauce drizzled on it was so savory. I wished there were more mashed potatoes underneath because those were amazing too. It was also a very big portion. Definitely recommend. Would come back again and try something else or even order that again.

The kids walked in with their eyes wide open, ready to try everything. We had to slow them down. This place is huge...bowling, arcade, axe throwing, karaoke, pool, and more. We got the kids arcade passes for $20, and they had a blast. I even squeezed in a few games of pinball and almost hit a high score. Bowling was affordable too, about $30 for the lane and $4 a person for shoes. The music was on point without being too loud, which I appreciated. After a few gutter balls, we got the bumpers up and the kids were all smiles. We ordered food right to the lane. It came out fast, tasted good, and the drink specials helped keep the bill reasonable. Around 9-10 p.m. it shifts to more of an adult vibe, so keep that in mind if you're bringing kids. Overall, it was a great family outing that didn't hurt the pockets. There's still plenty we didn't get to, so we'll definitely be back. Maybe next time for axe throwing or karaoke with just the grown-ups.

First off, I want to give a HUGE thank you to the Cooper's Hawk Team for making my birthday feel so…read morespecial. My friend treated me to a birthday lunch this week and when we got to the table, the staff had a birthday card waiting for me! How thoughtful! We came during happy hour and decided to try a few small plates and drinks. The Egg Rolls are a must! They were packed with flavor and a variety of ingredients. My friend especially loved the shrimp. We also tried the quesadillas and sliders on the happy hour menu. Both dishes tasted incredible! Sadly, though the happy hour has half priced apps, the plates are also half sized. They were absolutely delicious, but the dishes felt overpriced for the portion size. As for drinks, I tried the sangria flight. I wasn't expecting such a full portion size and was pleasantly surprised with that. I did, however, only find 2 of the 4 drinks to be especially tasty. I wouldn't order that flight again, but would be interested in their wine offerings. I loved the low lighting in the space as it set such a calm and laid back mood. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and especially loved the food! Totally recommend.

Been multiple times with no problem. We went last night and unfortunately it was not a good experience. Ordered the calamari and meatballs and not sure which one of those two gave my boyfriend some pretty bad food poisoning. Had the calamari and within 30 minutes he was in the bathroom throwing up. The calamari was definitely the culprit here since we only ate a couple bites. Spent the entire Saturday night and the majority of Sunday (today) with terrible stomach pain, chills, nausea, etc. I am shocked because Cooper's hawk is considered a quality restaurant but after this experience we are no longer coming back. This is highly alarming and makes me question the freshness and quality of not just the calamari, but the other menu items as well. I am quite concerned for my boyfriend because he has thrown up many times to the point where he might need an IV. I hope this is just food poisoning and nothing more serious. Either way I do think this needs attention maybe the kitchen needs to be cleaned or the freshness of food needs to be reevaluated. Never had a dining experience like this!

We decided that since this was so highly recommended we should try it (I had gone to another location years ago and couldn't remember if it was as good as my friend raved about). It was mid-afternoon so it wasn't packed. Our server was ok, nothing to write home about though. The food runners? Wow, ouch. Our guacamole was thrown on the table on top of the menus without even looking at us. Now the guac was good, and my birria tacos were as well. Nothing to write home about though. There are plenty of genuine Mexican places in Orlando that are superb. I won't come back, it wasn't worth the "meh" of it all.

We went to Pine and Oak Tavern during Bite30 and had a great time. We went for an early dinner…read morebecause we have a little one and it was quiet but was starting to get busy by the time we left. A perk of going early was we were able to participate in happy hour! We got some discounted old-fashioned, which were lovely. For dinner the portions were large and since we got Bite30, we got three courses. I got the fish bites and it was a generous portion, they were fresh and light, and I shared them with my baby. I think he ate more than I did! For dinner, I got the ribs, with mac & cheese. The ribs were flavorful, and the mac & cheese was seasoned very well! To be honest, I don't remember what I got for dessert, I think it was toffee cake or bread, pudding or something? It was very good though, my husband got the Keylime and he was jealous of my dessert. The manager and the chef both came out and said hello and checked on us, which we both appreciated. It was a great experience overall, we want to come back and try their brunch!

The Tavern East came up on a search for Philadelphia Eagles bars in the area. The tavern had a…read morelarge party group that was around the bar but they had plenty of open seating in the front part of the restaurant. There appeared to be two people checking on the people who were in the front of the house. You can sit wherever you like and eventually someone will come in and take your order. The person who waited on us did not normally work on Monday nights. She was very pleasant. I thought it took a little longer to get my food. Luckily the game was going to start soon so it took my mind off of having to wait so long. I ordered the smash burger and fries. The fries were crispy and hot. The smash burger was sub par. Burger, cheese, bun. Absolutely zero seasoning. Toppings were extra so I just got it with cheddar cheese. Flavor wise it was definitely lacking. The wings were crispy and the teriyaki sauce was good. I asked for my check and waited over 20 minutes. The person who I asked for my checked walked by like she had forgotten that I had even asked. When she mentioned oh I'll be right back with your check and the wings! I had to go to the bar to get it because the waiter never brought it over. Now I came here to watch the game. While it was playing on all the TVs, there was no sound. I am not sure if it had anything to do with the large party that was there, but I was disappointed that they did not have any sound playing for the game. Hopefully this was an off night, was hoping for a better experience for a bar that is supposed to be an Eagles bar.

They had great decor and the game was on TV all around the bar. It was perfect for us. They were SUPER busy and could tell they were short staffed. The servers were all very friendly and said it would be just a bit for food to come out. No problem since we could watch the game while we waited. We ordered some pretzel bites for an appetizer and that came out pretty quick to give us something to snack on as well. My oldest did the shrimp burrito and she really loved it. It was also huge so she was able to take half home to have the next day. I shared the Greggie (Philly) since I was not too hungry and it was good. The others had the wings and they liked those as well. It did take a while for the food, but since the server communicated that before we ordered we didn't have a concern with it. Very chill vibe and would go again when on that side of town.
