    Smoked Sausage
    Lisa H.

    Restaurant was really nice and very open. I suggest outdoor seating options as well; especially on the nice days. Luckily the day we went, it was not crowded or busy. The waiter we had was really nice and offered alot of great recommendations. The staff was really nice as well. Food: - Hash Benedict: my friend said his food was delicious. Simple as that - Catch of the Day Benedict: My friend chose for her fish to be fried and she said it was a great pick. It came with potatoes as well which were really good. - American Breakfast: I just wanted a simple breakfast, so it was good for a regular bacon, egg and cheese lol - Beignets: DE-F*****G-LICIOUS! We were literally about to prefer two orders of it, but didn't want to be greedy. - Deviled on the Bayou: let me tell you something, these were some of the best deviled eggs I've ever had and idk who is frying up the shrimp?!?!? But those things!!!!!! Seasoned and fried to PERFECTION! *Chefs kiss* - Mimosas: I suggest getting a trio for your mimosas and picking you flavor in stead of the bottomless. We ran through that bottomless in 4 glasses lol I would definitely be hitting this spot back up when I'm the area again.

    I love, love, love this place! This is a go to brunch spot for me. The food is amazing. Everything I have ever ordered has always been good. The servers are always nice and answer all your questions. The music is good as well. I usually order fish and grits and it never disappoints. The fish is fresh and tasty and well as the grits. The servings are very generous so you get your money's worth. They also have the best mimosas and they even have mimosa flights! The only downside is the place gets very busy and you cannot make reservations but every time I have waited it honestly didn't take that long because people would leave before their name was called. This place is definitely a must try Orlando brunch spot classic!

    Parking can be tricky, but we were immediately greeted and seated upon arrival. Very friendly staff (thank you, Kourtney) but strange how asking to sit by the window was a no-go. Also, there was a note about special hours this summer but I didn't get a photo. My nephew loved his French Toast and, I have to admit, it was delicious. It didn't need butter or syrup. You know food is good when you don't have to add anything to it to make it better. My American Breakfast was excellent, and I went for the smoked sausage - which had a nice little kick to it. Scrumptious biscuit with jelly, too. Our meal (with juices) came to about $40, which is alot for breakfast but everything is going up these days. This huge restaurant is very clean and I could definitely be tempted to return to try their lunch items.

    Great price huge portions and excellent service . We were very pleased with the breakfast spot . Only thing it was a little loud because of the high ceilings. But otherwise music was refreshing and relaxing . Wish they had a a wider coffee selection but the coffee was still fresh and good .

    Upon entering there was an overpowering smell of cleaner.There is a sign stating that they are short staffed and to be patient. It took a few minutes to be seated as they decided where to seat us. The restaurant was wide open with only three tables filled. The server didn't know the menu and couldn't answer any of our questions. I had to ask her to ask what was in the bayou topping since I do not eat pork or beef. We ordered ordered two margaritas to start. The server came back to inform us there was no tequila or rum. My friend ordered a mango mimosa. We ordered deviled by the bayou- deviled eggs with Tasso, fried shrimp and a sauce. My friend enjoyed those. She also had shrimp and grits. I had the bayou Benedict. It had good flavor and was filling.

    Mimosa trip

    This place is consistently amazing. They don't do call ahead seating or reservations so prepare for a wait, but always worth it! For the mimosa trip to the banana foster French toast and everything i between.

    Inside was very nice! Super clean and well kept. Wait time was maybe 5 minutes. Our server was very attentive at first but then disappeared until we finished eating. We had: deviled eggs- I personally didn't try this but my friend liked it French toast- it was very thin and skimp. Expected thicker bread but it tasted ok -Shrimp and grits: Very good! Huge portion and lots of flavor French 75 drink: Just tasted like Prosecco This is an ok place but it's overpriced. I expected a different experience for the price. This reminded me of Keke's breakfast cafe and should have prices within the same range

    Mimosa Trio
    Brittany K.

    I found the meal at Brick & Spoon to be fine. Nothing extremely noteworthy or memorable and I'm not sure that I'd jump at the chance to return given the myriad of options in the area. But there were some things that stood out! The servers are really friendly and definitely hold their own in such a busy establishment. If you arrive anytime after 10:30, prepare to wait it out. Once seated though, you'll definitely be treated to stellar service. I would rate the wait staff a 5/5 for holding it down so well. Drink options are definitely crushing it too. Great selections! I did a mimosa trio and it was my favorite part of meal actually. If I could do a pre-game brunch, I'd come for just the drinks. I tried passion fruit, pineapple, and mango mimosas. Loved the alcohol to juice ratio. It certainly favored the alcohol. I was feeling it-haha. The juices were all really tasty and made for a creative spin on the standard. I definitely encourage you to pick three for $12. Regarding the food... it could have been better but wasn't bad. I was hyped for the bananas foster french toast but they were out of bananas so I decided to scrap the sweet plan altogether in favor of the shrimp and grits. I think that the grits had great flavor and the shrimp were cooked beautifully. BUT, the poached egg was cooked so poorly. The yoke was cooked to the point of being hard boiled. It didn't create the effect of yoke pouring out the way I would have liked. The rest of the table more or less carry the same opinion. Our table ordered a good variety of food and everything was fine. The French toast order was good but the syrup being served in plastic solo condiment cups seemed a bit bizarre. Having it served warm from an actual boat would have been a nicer touch. Maybe it's a covid protocol though, I don't know. I'll likely try some other nearby options before returning here. The atmosphere is a bit nonexistent and parking really is a hassle.

    I swear I didn't even know about this place and I pass by here all the time. So my bad. Came for a late lunch with a friend who introduced me to this amazing place. We came here on a weekday so it wasn't that busy, I was told that this place gets packed. So I guess we're lucky. The ambiance is really nice. Staff that assisted us was amazing as well. The food is definitely top notched. I love every single dish that we ordered. You taste good quality here. You know they cook their food with quality in mind. I have to come back and try their other dishes. I had their Shrimp & Tasso Mac and Cheese and man it was soooooooo good. My friend even got a customized good due to her dietary restrictions. Definitely come and see this place for yourself. We're coming back again.

    Bacon Cali Burger Lunch
    Ericka D.

    I love the food! Everything was so nicely presented, server was great at recommending food. Definitely a go to for brunch or lunch. Plus the different flavor mimosas.. excellent! It's always busy.. so if you don't want to wait or try to beat the crowds go early between 11-12:30. However they are very good at making accommodations for the waits. So I highly suggest Brick & Spoon!

    Interestingly located on a busy intersection, parking is very minimal as it's attached to an apartment complex. Best place to park is further down the road in the parking garage which is free. We went on a Saturday, it seemed quite busy but we were seated straight away. It did take a while for our orders to be taken but our server Trinity was very friendly and great, she was attentive and made sure things were ok even before our food arrived. We both got hash browns with our dish, because who doesn't love hash browns. It was nice and crispy, although it was more like tater tots than hash browns. The bayou Benedict, we had a choice between an English muffin and a biscuit, and we had the biscuit option. The sauce on the Benedict was delicious, it had a little bit of a kick to it. I would have liked my eggs to be a little more runny as it did seem it was cooked right through. We wanted to try something different to our usual brunch options and opted for The killer creole omelette. As for the taste, it was ok and nothing that really screamed out to me. My favourite was definitely the bayou Benedict and a must try if you go here.

    Cafe Beignets
    Donna R.

    My first time experience was OK. They were out of a few things nothing major, but it was a little odd that they would be out of those minor items. The service was very attentive. There was no one inside when we arrived so it was very quiet. The food was OK. It did not wow me. I had the shrimp and grits. The sauce was really good and the shrimp were tasty, but could get a little salty after a while. The beignets were hot and fresh. Unsure if I would return again, but at least they do have a great menu options to try. The atmosphere of the restaurant was somewhat inviting.

    Biscuits for two
    Shevon S.

    This is a nice brunch spot! I have been three times within a year. The service and food here is always good. Outside seating is available. Drinks: Mimosas Trio: Mango, Strawberry, Pineapple. I like all of them. Apps: Deviled on the Bayou, Biscuits for 2, and Breakfast Fries Entree: Killer creole omelet with home fries, I highly recommend this dish. It was really good. Pros: Awesome Service, Good food, and good drinks. Con: Parking is in a parking garage around the corner from the restaurant.

Every detail, from the decor to the lighting, creates an immersive atmosphere that leave you in awe. As someone who actively seeks out tiki bars wherever I travel just so I can experience and review them, i can say they nailed the ambiance. The cocktails were well crafted but leaned much heavier on warm baking spices than my personal preference and I tried quite a few. I tend to prefer creamier, fruit forward tiki drinks with just ahint of spice, so while they werent my favorite style, thats a matter of taste rather than quality. The person i visited with loved their drink, which reinforces my previous comments. The real surprise of the evening was the food. it was outstanding, far better than i expected from a tiki lounge. The dish was flavorful, well prepared and easily worth the visit on its own. Overall, the experience delivered exactly what a great tiki bar should, an incredible atmosphere, quality drinks, and good food. Even though the cocktails werent perfectly suited to my palate, Id recommend stopping in if youre a fan of tiki culture.

    Noir Bar is definitely one of my top BARS to visit on my short list of bars I enjoy immensely. I've…read morebeen coming since it opened, and I really cannot say I've been disappointed. The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.

The vibe here is dark, intimate, and gives off a chic city nightlife feel. They offer both a full cocktail menu and a happy hour menu. They also offer a Thai tapas menu, which we unfortunately didn't get to try because we were already stuffed from dinner at Talay, but the menu looked amazing and gives us another reason to come back! The drinks are unique, creative, and very well crafted. We ordered the Celestial Bloom, and it was absolutely delicious! It was beautifully balanced and left us wanting to come back just to try more of their cocktails. Definitely a great spot for drinks before or after dinner!

Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list.

My wife raved about the flavor of the chicken in her tacos. The soup and salad packed flavor for their size. My yellowfin tuna was okay. The mango gelato? Fresh, and the perfect way to end the meal. Dylan, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable. Prices continue to rise, but the quality continues. Happy Hour is Monday through Friday, 3 pm to 6 pm, and the menu has a nice selection of snacks and flatbreads, cocktails, wine, and beer.

    I introduced another friend to this unique restaurant and bar. We arrived a little after 6 PM and…read morewere seated promptly by Mel. We chose a little corner table against the wall. We looked over the happy hour menu (good all day on Monday nights and Tuesday through Friday 5-7pm). We ask Mel about the "Bartender's Choice" selection under happy hour drinks. She said the bartender will mix a drink of their preference. The customer cannot choose the alcohol or any mixers as the bartender makes the decisions all by him or herself. Mel asked if we had any allergies or any other issues that might affect the drinks the bartender would like to make. We said we did not and we decided to take on this "choice" experience. Serena was the bartender of the evening and she did an amazing job. She mixed up various concoctions for us throughout the night (we ordered a second round after the first one) and we enjoyed every drink she prepared. The presentation of the drinks were also well done. Serena's cocktails consisted of bourbon, rum, and various ingredients which could include bitters, lemon, agave or other cocktail mixers. She was the bartender extraordinaire of the evening. For food, we ordered the half dozen chicken wings (2 orders since they were so good) and the pizza empanadas to start. The two empanadas had mozzarella cheese stuffed inside and were served with a warm marinara. From the main menu, we ordered the Faroe Island Salmon, which was served on a bad of risotto and tomato butter, with capers. The portion of the salmon was somewhat small for the price of $28, but it and the risotto were cooked perfectly. We ended the night with their signature drink, "Death in the Afternoon" which contains absinthe and is one of my favorite drinks here in Orlando. It was another five star experience and my friend found a new restaurant she now loves. All in all, a great night thanks to the attentiveness and easy-going attitude of Mel, our server, and the exceptional cocktails from the bartender, Serena. Thank you both for a job very well done!
