    Steak and potatoes egg

    It was an amazing breakfast it also was my first time there. It was quiet and peaceful. Paired it with coffee

    I always enjoy going out to breakfast at First Watch. Today I had the avocado toast with gluten free bread and breakfast potatoes on the side and my boyfriend had the farmhouse hash. We both cleaned our plates it was so delicious! They are always very good about food allergies and the servers are always very knowledgeable. This location is always clean and the kitchen gets food out fast. This location also has some outside seating available for when the weather is nice.

    This location wins the award for most improved customer service! I used to come here regularly when I lived nearby and honestly the last few times I have come, it has been perfect! The seasonal summer menu is delicious, the steak and egg hash was delicious and the little mini biscuits were so good and not too sweet.

    Haven't been to First Watch in a while, and it was good to comeback because their food and service are always very good. They have delicious fresh juices, incredible variety of breakfast for any taste. Make sure to try Chilaquillis -- so good. We received outstanding service and loved overall atmosphere. Definitely a place to comeback to when we are in the area.

    Honey Chipotle Chicken Hash

    Featured on the fall menu -- and let me tell you, it was soooo good! Light, hearty, and full of flavor, this dish was the perfect balance of comfort and freshness. Every bite was seasoned beautifully, with just the right texture and warmth that makes you instantly think fall perfection. The presentation was stunning, the flavors were layered but not heavy, and it left me wanting more. You can really taste the care that went into it -- it's one of those dishes that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate how good it is. Definitely a seasonal favorite worth ordering before it's gone!

    Salad breakfast spot that's a very accommodating for our kids. The boys were full of beans, but that didn't stop for the staff from being excellent. They were on point we're taking my kids orders first and making sure their food came out as soon as possible when I needed extra napkins for the syrup overload associated with an order of chocolate chip pancakes and waffles they did not skimp out. We were there in a weekend morning, so it was a little noisy, but not so much that we couldn't hear our own conversation.Overall, a friendly ambience, definitely welcoming. Also, the coffee there is pretty darn good.

    Tangerine Dream

    First watch has to be one of my favorite breakfast brunch locations. They have classic options, healthy options, and unique flavor creations that you will just want to revisit and try! I love that every location has an art piece dedicated to the area it's in. You can never go wrong with the million dollar bacon, it's a must for our table every visit! We tried their seasonal tangerine dream drink which was citrusy sweet and had a hint of ginger. We also tried their seasonal double bacon, Parmesan hash which felt like the perfect brunch meal , super delicious! I'm usually an iced coffee person but first watch has the best hot coffee and is the only place out order it, you can even take a cup to go! (Don't forget to ask if they have seasonal free stickers on your way out!)

    Sunday brunch. Definitely need to pass on this place. This location missed the mark all across the board. We were craving French toast. Decided to drag my husband to try it. He was skeptic but I talked to so good about the MI location he actually believed me. Lol. Oops! The moment we walked in, hostess greeted us. Got our name and number and maybe we were seated in about 10 mins. Not even 10 mins actually. It was quick. Service was a little slow. They were busy. We understood. I got my large apple juice and water. I guess the waitress missed my husband saying he wanted coffee. And about 5 mins into our meal he realized that he didn't have his coffee I guess the waitress didn't realized he ordered it. But she brought it out immediately. Food came out in a timely manner. All was really good. However, the least pleasant dish we ordered as an extra was the French toast that he was craving. Peep the picture below. It was burnt on one side on both the toasts. He's a real trooper for eating one slice of the toast but couldn't muster down the other. It was "burnt, crispy, and bitter." Even with the syrup. When the waitress came around and asked how our food was, we said it wasn't good. Showed her the toast and she didn't really do anything, all she said was "oh, wow. Is there anything I can get you?" She didn't offer to get us a new order or see how she can make this right? So we left it at that. We didn't care for another one anyway as this ruined it for us. We got our check, got up and went to pay for it. The lady that was at the register asked how everything was. We said not good. And she asked what happened, I showed her the picture of the French toast and after many many many attempts of us saying "it's okay, we were more than happy to pay for the full bill," she didn't want us to. She wanted to make it right. She went and got us a comp card and even took the French toast off the bill. We were more than appreciative. But we were more than happy to pay for the full bill and understood because they were busy and our waitress was "new" we didn't want the hassle. She was probably the friendliest person there. Feel like this place missed the mark across the board. Got a bit of attitude and looks from the other employees when we said our meal wasn't good. Like they didn't believe us. But we didn't cause hell or catch attitude. If anything, they caught attitude. Plenty of parking but in this plaza. But it can get easily packed too.

    This is one chain restaurant that has really never missed every time I have gone. I've gone to several locations now all over Florida and the food has always been decent and service quick. I really like the consistency!

    Just FYI: this location won't serve alcohol until after 0900. We arrived a little after 0815 and we were too early for mimosas. We were able to get a table before the Sunday rush. The server was nice but kinda forgetful. We asked 2 times I believe for water. I will say the servers didn't come around after we got our food. I was happy to get grits to my meal. The food was good. They haven't been able to get over medium eggs though. My eggs were more like over done. This place can get super busy during brunch time. I will say that they do keep this place clean and nice looking with all the traffic that comes here.

    the breakfast here was tasty i got one of the specials and the iced coffee was good but very sweet. it was busy but we were served quickly but i didn't know who the server was because they switched so often.

We've both had this on our list for a while and I was craving a good steak. It was a last minute decision and we did not have a reservation on a Saturday night, so we new we were taking our chances. They were quite busy but luckily there were two seats open at their full service bar. The space has been well-renovated since the Dexter's days (IYKYK). It has an art deco prohibition era vibe. We started off with cocktails - I got the Brass Bar martini (gin, olive brine, dolin blanc, and orange bitters with blue cheese stuffed olives). It was such a smooth, refreshing drink and I really liked their take on the classic dirty martini. My husband got A Cut Above which is their version of an old fashioned and he LOVED this drink. It has wagyu fat washed whiskey which I've never even heard of before, but it was amazing. For dinner, we started with the beef carpaccio and the bone marrow. They were both good portions for the price and very tasty. The bone marrow was creamy and buttery as it should be. For our main, we decided to share the 14oz NY strip with the au poivre sauce and a side of mushrooms. This steak was well seasoned and cooked to the right temp (med-rare). The sauce made it a bit too salty for me, but the sauce paired really well with the mushrooms. We even had leftovers for the next day. This is definitely a special occasion spot, so be prepared to drop some money. The steaks are pricey, but with the increased cost of beef these days, I'm not surprised. It's nice to have a traditional steakhouse experience in Winter Park.

Both dishes were expertly prepared and served by Neici, our server. The restaurant itself exudes a fine dining atmosphere, which is a pleasant surprise for amusement park fare. Neici guided our attention to the open window overlooking the protein preparation area, which provided an interesting spectacle of chefs and kitchen staff at work. Our dining experience would have been exceptional had it not been for the initial seating arrangement by front desk staff. Although we were the second party in line for the opening at 4 pm, we were directed to an adjacent window dining area where a large portable fan noisily circulated air onto our assigned table. The logic behind seating an early guest at this table is unclear, as the main dining area and the adjacent dining area remained unoccupied. The front-end staff's decision resulted in the loss of the restaurant's 5-star rating, not our server or the food.

The waitress explained the wood used on the grill, which tempted me to shift to the lamb chops. I asked for them to be cooked to temperature and they came out perfectly cooked, still moist and delicious. All of the meat is only seasoned with salt and pepper, which is appreciated for those who enjoy the flavor the grill gives. The mashed potatoes and the mushroom risotto was were also delicious. Once you see my pics, you'll know I wasn't kidding around. I will definitely revisit this place when I return to Orlando.

It's commonly known that there is an overwhelming amount of restaurants listed for Magical Dining, and The Pinery was our first choice! We have heard so many good reviews of this restaurant. Unfortunately, our visit fell short :( I want to begin with how lovely our hostess, bartender, and server was. I'm sure the reasons behind our negative experience is beyond their control. We were sat 45 minutes past our reserved dinner time. The short ribs from the main courses ran out. That was our top choice and we were saddened to learn of the sellout for the night. The bread service we ordered was terribly stale. The fried green tomato lacked taste and flavor. The shrimp and grits dish was delicious! I honestly don't think the cornbread was necessary for this dish. The tradition shrimp, sausage, grits, and gravy were perfectly paired and did not require the cornbread. The cornbread itself was part of the bread service, which lacked taste and appeared stale. The desserts were the star of the show. I was informed they make everything in house to include the desserts. Amazing job! Also, because of the delay, we were gifted an additional dessert. Thank you so much! I'd be happy to return one day to give it another shot. We had such high expectations based on the reviews we've heard from others. I also understand it was a Sunday evening, but also a business this popular could be a bit more prepared for the rush. Nonetheless, thank you for your hard work and for welcoming us.
