We were in Winter Haven, FL, for the weekend celebrating my friend's 50th birthday, and before…read moreheading back home on Sunday, we wanted to find a nice brunch spot with interesting, unique entrées and cocktails. That's when we came across Sauvage, a Polynesian craft bar & kitchen located in the heart of Winter Haven. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was right--vibrant, tropical, trendy, and fun. And then we spotted two retro arcade games--Mortal Kombat II and Street Fighter Turbo--that guests can play while waiting for their food. Talk about nostalgia! That definitely took us back to our childhoods. Okay, okay... I'm showing our age. Let's get back to the food! The Brunch Sauvage's menu combines Polynesian-inspired cuisine with American favorites and creative twists, which immediately caught our attention. We decided to share two entrées: Duck Confit Benedict Duck confit served over crispy hash browns, topped with poached eggs, hollandaise, and chives. Brunch Scallion Pancake A savory scallion pancake topped with scrambled eggs, cheese, millionaire bacon, island sauce, and sweet Thai chili, served with a side of grits. Both dishes were different, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I especially loved that each entrée came served in its own personalized cast-iron skillet. It made the presentation feel rustic and unique while keeping everything warm. And the portions were perfectly sized for brunch--satisfying without being overwhelmingly heavy. And Then There Was the Cocktail... We couldn't visit a Polynesian craft bar without trying one of their creative cocktails! We went with the Mango Sticky Rice Milk Punch -- made with coconut-washed brandy, mango soju, five-spice, and vanilla. This cocktail was cool, light, fruity, and refreshing, with just enough of that tropical flavor to make it feel like the perfect summer brunch drink. Honestly, I really enjoyed it! Sauvage was such a fun find for our Sunday brunch. Between the tropical atmosphere, creative Polynesian-American menu, unique cocktails, nostalgic arcade games, and beautifully presented food, it was definitely more than just your typical brunch spot. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well-portioned, and thoughtfully presented. And the fact that we discovered it while celebrating a 50th birthday weekend made the experience even better. Would I come back? Absolutely! Next time we're in Winter Haven, we're skipping brunch and coming back for dinner. I'm definitely curious to see what Sauvage is doing with their dinner menu. Sauvage gets a "we'll definitely be back" from us!

Walking up the vibe is beautiful. It feels like all we needed to do was have a bed placed inside the restaurant to take a nap after a delicious meal. This was the best brisket burger I've ever had. Jen was amazing and was on top of making sure we ordered the best food. Top tier service. I'm definitely coming back!

To top it off, we had the Fuzzy Old Fashioned! It was a top ten day and we hardily recommend this place!!! UPDATE: While the experience last time was fantastic, upon leaving and discussing our bill we realized it was higher than expected. We returned today and due to our last financial experience, totaled up our bill before we got it. It was around 80 per our calculations. When we finally got our bill, our waitress verbally told us what it was. And to our not surprise, it was once again, higher than it should have been. My daughter, who had heard about our previous experience asked for an itemized receipt which was given to us rather reluctantly. We reviewed it and the burger and drinks were more expensive than what it said on the menu! Our old fashioned which we ordered in the specials menu was $9 instead of the posted $8 and her burger was $16 instead of the $10 posted. She brought it to the attention of our waitress and she admitted that the drink prices were increased but not updated on the menu.. when asked about the burger she claimed it's because we got fries instead of chips but SHE was the one who asked us if we wanted fries, chips, or potato salad. She tried claiming the $6 was fries... and even if that was the case, $6 for fries??? Without a note on the menu? So my recommendation is CHECK YOUR BILL and ask for an itemized receipt. I find it weird that they automatically don't also offer itemized receipts.... So hopefully when we return, it will be updated to avoid future issues...

Let's be clear. This place is different. It is under new management as of two months ago, as we…read morewere informed by our bar tender. This is a Puerto Rican family business. They have Puerto Rican food (love it) and beer. At night they get busy with music and hookah smoke (we abstained from it). We came late afternoon. Before it gets busy with the night life. I was searching for Manny's Chop house and this came up. I saw the menu and decided to try it out. I'm very happy I did. 1) The place has a bar setting. It is NOT a restaurant setting per-say though they Do Have food. I'm reluctant to say the place is welcoming for a restaurant. It is, for a bar that has food. We were greeted by the bar tender. Seemed like the only server available. He was very friendly and very attentive. 2) Beer was cold and fresh. Their draft system was not yet working so got bottles of Puerto Rican beer (excellent) and later switched to modelo special. 3) Ordered several dishes. ALL tasted great. Very nicely seasoned. 4) We first sat at the bar and then transferred to the pool table area. Played some games and danced to some music. 5) This place has Karaoke. The person who cooked our diner sang duet with the Karaoke/DJ. It was fun to hear and sounded good. 6) They have an outside in the back seating are on week ends. Overall, we do plan to visit this place again soon for more Puerto Rican cosine, Karaoke, and Salsa, Merengue, bachata dancing.

This was our first time eating at one on this side of town and it did not disappoint. I got the French Onion Soup and my husband got the Zinger Mountain melt (also for me to pick at). The food came out fast and hot! The French Onion is always one of my favorites, I love the chunky crouton and it always very cheesy. The Mountian melt was delicious! The fries were cooked perfectly and it was covered in the zingers but also a lot of bacon and cheese. We got Hot Garlic and I highly recommend it for someone looking for both flavor and some sting. When family stays with us, this will always be a must visit. Our servers today were amazing, we had a woman that I forget her name and Raul. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. We sat on the "patio" area. Since it is hot out they had it closed off but I loved the feel. It was very clean and even though the tables were full it didn't feel crowded like some feel.

My parents ordered the chicken chimichangas, but were accidentally served chicken quesadillas instead. They didn't mention it to the staff and just enjoyed what they were given, which they said tasted good, though they would have preferred the chimichangas they originally ordered.
