We ordered the dirty martini and mai tai, which were delicious.

I've never had a bad meal here and will continue to come back

Death in the Afternoon feels like stepping into a quiet, understated speakeasy... intimate,…read morerefined, and built for good conversation. What truly sets this place apart is the mixologist. Instead of ordering from a menu, I trusted him to craft something based on my vibe and somehow, he nailed it. Not once, but twice. It was like he scanned my palate and delivered exactly what I didn't even know how to ask for. Easily the best cocktail I've ever had made for me. Everyone I was with had the same experience. Drinks felt personalized, balanced, and thoughtfully executed. It's rare to find that level of intuition behind the bar. On the food side, I tried the corn ribs, which were a standout in their own way. Unique, flavorful, and an easy choice if you're a fan of corn. They worked perfectly as a shareable appetizer. The overall vibe leans toward a more decadent, intimate experience. It's the kind of place you go when you want to slow down, have meaningful conversation, and enjoy something crafted with care. If you're looking for a cocktail spot that goes beyond the menu and delivers something truly tailored, this place is special.

The decor speaks for itself, this place is absolutely decked out to the high heavens for Christmas and definitely worth a reservation and stop in ! but... be SURE to make a reservation because you may not be able to get in if you don't (best do it a couple days in advance if you can!) Rudolph's Replacement: 10/10 for cuteness (got it for the TRex cup) BUT this drink tasted like chocolate grass. if that's ur vibe, you'll love it. Christmapolitan: Not the cutest, average for looks just in a normal cute little glass, but guess what.... it was thebest drink we had!! 10/10 for flavor, loves it. Dancing Sugarplumb: Again not the cutest it's basic, BUT THE FLAVOR 9/10 The Krampus: the cup is killer. love it. drinks like a sippy cup, but for a Christmas demon. there is mezcal in this it's definitely on the smokier side, but even the mezcal haters at the table love it. 8/10 flavor if you like a little smoky and a tad bit of heat. All we had to eat was the pretzels with pimento - i was skeptical but wow, super good! All in all, would definitely recommend, you just have to plan to come here in advance and get that reservation!

It's a great dish to share. For my drink, I got the Beijing Bikini. It was pretty and delicious. My girlfriends all love the Day Dreamer and order it every time. They all got curly fries and loved those as well. One of my friends didn't like her cocktail and they enthusiastically switched it out for something she loved. Another one of my friends doesn't drink and didn't like the sound of the only mocktail on the menu. They were kind enough to create one for her. They made her a delicious NA drink with a flower. We really appreciated the extra effort to accommodate her. We love The Courtesy!

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.

Visited Wine 4 Oysters on a whim with one of my girl friends on a random Thursday night. I've heard…read moreso many good things about it but haven't been able to check them out. Walking in, it looked very cozy- tiny but cutely decorated and on theme with the wine and oysters. I ordered a boil whereas my friend ordered the oysters. I also had an espresso martini. Both were very good! The boil had an amazing amount of garlic which was just so good. Can never have enough garlic! Our server seemed to be the only one in the restaurant besides the chefs back of the house. She was very friendly and answered questions that we had about the menu. Overall, a great random Thursday night turned into a lovely one having good food and drinks!

I'll be honest, the name Wine (good) Oysters (great) got me lookin'. Add in the myriad Yelp reviews…read moreand I was mapping directions. What a find! They have a plethora of cooked oyster variations (not necessarily my jam) and raw. My favorite part of oysters on the half shell is mignonette; I loathe places that only provide cocktail sauce. Yet another reason why I'd come back? W4O provides two mignonette options; wait...is this heaven? After some vino and oysters, my colleague and I weren't crazy hungry. I chose the charcuterie board and she the salmon tostini. Not the most diverse charcuterie board I've ever seen, but it worked. Salmon tostini was on point and we were upset we didn't prioritize this dish above all others. NOTE: If you're on the fence, I completely agree with Yelper Hanh, Happy Hour is a great time to give Wine 4 Oysters a try! Small, strip mall venues are often hit or miss, but Wine 4 Oysters is a home run! Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

My husband and I went to The Vineyard for dinner and it was an excellent choice. We had…read morereservations and were seated immediately and our server was extremely attentive as well as courteous. The vibe was dark and romantic, which was perfect for our date night. We ordered the Spinach Rolls for an appetizer and they were delicious. Tender enough to cut with a fork and the crispy bread crumbs added flavor and texture. My husband ordered the fresh fish dish of the evening and it was light and flavorful. It had unique flavors that were delectable. I ordered the Lobster Asparagus Risotto, and it was the best lobster I've had thus far in Orlando. The lobster was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The risotto was creamy and the asparagus tender which was a perfect complement to the lobster. For dessert we ordered the Banana Bread Pudding. The bread pudding was warm and had the texture of a French toast. It was delicious and the whip cream was fresh. The food, service, and ambience were a 10/10. The quality of food is next level and for a fresh/flavorful meal I will always choose The Vineyard.

Well, I must say that I am very disappointed! My husband and…read moreI have dined here many times and the food and service was always impeccable; however, today was very disappointing. Service was slow, the barmaid was definitely slow. In the past, as an appetizer, we would order the Fried Olives...so delicious! Unfortunately they have changed the way they are made and not for the good! I ordered the Key West grilled Maui wrap. Very tasty and generous on the Maui; however, it was on the dry side. Hubby ordered the French Dip with a Caesar salad. French Dip Rib Eye good, but the Caesar salad limp and wilted. I am so disappointed to see that yet another restaurant that once was wonderful has gone down hill! We will no longer go to this restaurant or recommend it.

Everyone was very friendly and welcoming here. We totally scored...it happened to be a Tuesday night which is also Burlesque night! It was fun "adulting" here...We even had some singles on hand to tuck away in our performers outfits:). I ordered the "Jalisco Passion" made w/tequila, allsprice dram, cardamaro, passion fruit & lime. It was very good. Ronnald got the mocktail version of the "Blueberry Basil Gimlet." Highly recommend checking this place out! *They do serve food - flatbreads, charcuterie etc. We ordered the pretzel which was soft and yummy - comes w/2 dipping sauces *Parking is very limited here ~ Park in the lot next door it's $10 ~ and that's all I have to say about that...
