I stopped in for a quick snack and ordered a mild beef patty with coco bread…read more Service: 5/5 - The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and my order came out quickly. No complaints there at all. Beef Patty: 2/5 - The seasoning was actually pretty good, so the flavor was there. Unfortunately, the patty itself was very dry and had much less beef filling than I expected. I kept hoping for a better bite, but it never really happened. Coco Bread: 1/5 - It was served warm, which was nice, but it was also quite dry. I was expecting the soft, buttery, slightly sweet coco bread that's perfect for pairing with a patty. This one missed the mark for me. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible thanks to the excellent customer service, but the food just didn't live up to what I expect from a Jamaican restaurant. There are enough great Jamaican spots around Orlando, that I probably wouldn't make a return trip here. I was rushing on my break or I would've taken a photo.

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.

This location was recommended by a few friends so maybe it was a bad night but I was not a fan. Our bartender seemed extremely disinterested. He took an ridiculously long time to make 3 drinks. Then when he was done he was giving our drinks to the group next to us. We go to pay and he walks away only taking my one friends card. Then starts making more drinks with her card in his hand. That was another wait to get our cards back. The decor was really pretty and the crowd had good vibes but two other women came up to us to complain about the bartender as well. It seems they were too busy taking shots to care about their patrons. Our drinks sucked but it was a pretty place to sit and chat with friends. Like I said, Ive heard good things about this bar so hopefully it was just an off night but I won't be rushing back to try again. I gave an extra star for the decor and the good vibes of the other customers.

I visited my best friend who lives nearby and we walked down for a little eats and drinks. This place is fun since it's RIGHT in the middle of a bunch of eateries! SO it's a nice Central place to get a drink and hang out. Seems like there's usually a LOT goin on there as well, like bingo and different fun engaging things. The ONLY downfall is ... it's LOUD ! It's not a night club so I didn't expect it to be so darn loud. I couldn't even talk to the ppl I was with without our ears up to each others mouths to hear whats being said. It looked like couples and others weren't really talking either since ... you can't. LOL so ... we got our drinks and went outside and sat in the courtyard. MUCH better. FUN, just wish I could have a conversation on the inside of the business.

An east end market staple - I can't believe this is my first time trying their pizza. The…read moreatmosphere of the venue is a little weird with a bar in the middle of a store and tables to eat and drink at scattered throughout. The layout of the venue made it hard to understand if we should order at the bar or wait for a server. We ended up ordering at the bar individually and just waiting at a table on the side for our food. The server came around a few times to check in and they have several self serve water stations which was nice. We ordered drinks and two pizzas. Our drinks were pretty good and reasonably priced. My pizza was delicious - the regular. I really like the pepperoni and honey combo. My partner got the garden pesto pizza and it was weirdly spicy. The ingredients didn't include anything spicy so it's a mystery why the pizza was so hot. She got some ranch to cool it down which luckily was very yummy. Overall a unique experience and not bad food!

Great food, service, and ambiance!…read more I loved the vibe of the aurora. The restaurant was space and astrology themed with each sever having their astrology sign on their name tag! So cute. I ordered the eggs Benedict. One of my eggs was slightly overcooked, but the other one was nice and runny. My friend ordered a medium steak with her Caesar salad, and it came out well done, but they immediately fired a new steak and quickly brought out the corrected temperature for her. The restaurant has a view of the pool and it's very well lit inside. Nice brunch spot near UCF! Parking was free, but they also had a valet option.

Aurora at The Celeste was a bit of a mixed experience for me. It's a smaller, intimate restaurant,…read moreand the service itself was good, although our meal did take quite a while to come out. I had heard good things about the eggplant dish from a friend, but I asked if they could substitute chicken for the eggplant at an additional cost. The chef declined the substitution, which was a little surprising, but okay. I ended up trying the eggplant as prepared, and it was actually very good and one of the highlights of the meal. The chowder was also excellent and probably one of my favorite things we tried. Unfortunately, I had a pretty rough experience with the camel empanadas. On my first small bite, the empanada was so incredibly hot that it essentially burst, getting extremely hot oil on and around my lips and burning me. That definitely made the rest of dinner less enjoyable. I'd strongly suggest allowing these to rest a little longer before serving. The biggest disappointment was the gator fried rice. The gator was extremely chewy, and overall the dish lacked flavor. I wouldn't order that one again. We also tried the Super Nova, which was good but very rich. I think it makes much more sense as something for a larger group to share rather than a dessert for one or two people. Overall, 3/5. There were some genuinely good dishes, particularly the chowder and eggplant, and the service was pleasant, but the long wait, empanada incident, and disappointing gator fried rice kept the overall experience from being a standout.

We were a little confused because there was a world of beer sign out front. We were greeted immediately with a warm hello & found a seat at the bar. Brandon explained to us it used to be a WOB.

The bbq chicken flat bread was good too. We had awesome service from Brandon and he came out and had a drink with us after his shift. Very clean, bright atmosphere. Plenty of tvs & touch tunes to boot! We will search it out next trip.

I also got the Philly Cheesesteak. Asked the guy if it's authentic (I'm from Philly) and he said well...it is delicious. And you know what? He's right! A really tasty steak sandwich. Just not a Philly. They've got a bunch of TVs to watch the game and covered and screened outdoor patio. Although I'm not the target demographic, it's a great place for bar food and a beer.
