The staff are all great and attentive, and the restaurant has genuinely good food. They have nice pickleball courts outside with some covered and expansive indoor courts. Would definitely drop by if they started doing more one-off events/day passes the next time I'm around the area.

Magical Dining review of Hamlin House!…read more This is a newer club that markets itself to millennials and lovers of pickleball. So much so, they have indoor and outdoor courts, a large lobby, a bar/restaurant and a locker room that doesn't have a bathroom (that's in a different room in the lobby) and no sauna. The dinner and drinks were good on magical dining. IDK that I would never think to come here unless I was a member. There was an overly loud and drunk group next to us that threw off the vibe. In any event, if I was to join a club, even though this is nearby to my house, it's too small and too focused on one sport without amenities you'd expect. Given the price to join, one would be better set with a social membership at OCC where you get the pool, club house and I believe pickleball too.

The decor is very nice and the large glass walls provide a lot of natural lighting. NOTE: The parking lot is small, so consider steet parking. Value- 4/5 It's a good value. Some dishes are a little more expensive than expected, but overall, I'd recommend you checking out Black Coffee Café Negro. Opportunities for Learning- 5/5 Many opportunities to learn! I was googling! A lot of dishes are in Spanish and highlight Puerto Rican culture, so that was awesome. Also, the name of the restaurant ius cool and has a cool origin story.

We went with the Black Coffee Smash Burger, Chicken and Waffles, and Arroz Mamposteao. The chicken was fried and topped with a cheese over a freshly made waffle, that had powered sugar. The chicken was a breast, and was overpriced, and the waffle was cooked nicely. The Arroz Mamposteao dish was a delicious surprise with the beans, rice, and plantains mixed together. The dish typically comes with a churrasco steak but we subbed for the chicken, and it was seasoned well, yet dry. I'd come back to try it with the steak next time. The Black Coffee Smash Burger was a pleasant surprise with how sauced it was with the pickles, onions and cheese. The bun was toasted toasted too! I would come back to try more of the breakfast items along with some coffee.

First visit to Primrose Lanes Restaurant since the overhaul of the former Colonial Lanes (which…read moreclosed in 2018 and reopened in 2023), and I came away very impressed with both the reimagined space and the food. The venue is thoughtfully divided into three distinct areas: the bowling lanes, a sports lounge, and an arcade area with its own bar. The bowling section features eight lanes and looks like a great setup for gathering with friends and relaxing over a few frames. The sports lounge feels comfortable and inviting, with a nicely sized TV and a dedicated bar -- a solid spot to post up for a game. We chose to sit in the arcade area, which has a well-designed bar, comfortable seating, and open windows overlooking the lanes -- a nice touch that keeps the energy connected throughout the space. I could see it getting a bit noisy if running at full capacity, but during our visit it struck a good balance between lively and enjoyable. We had a couple of cocktails and split the chicken quesadilla, which was well prepared and satisfying -- a promising sign for the rest of the menu. The combination of upgraded atmosphere and solid food offerings makes this much more than just a bowling alley refresh. Looking forward to returning to sample more of the menu and spend some time relaxing in the sports lounge area. A very successful transformation of a longtime local spot.

An apropos name for a gastropub in the heart of Winter Park Village, The Hangry Bison had been on my list to try for awhile. Overall, my family and I enjoyed our time, in large part because of the great service by Emi. She was attentive, engaging, personable, and professional. We also enjoyed the food cooked to order and the comfortable seating area. To start, our appetizer of soft pretzels and beer cheese arrived and was quickly shared (devoured - I was fortunate to get a picture). The warm, cheese-covers pretzels were solid, and a good choice to carry us through until our main courses arrived. I ordered the Build Your Own Burger, medium, complete with a write-on menu to check off my choices. Sweet potato fries asked me to try them out along with the Bison burger, which I had never eaten. My Bison burger with minimal extras and the Bourbon glaze looked appetizing, and the flavor of the burger held its own. Plenty of sweet potato fries joined the burger on the plate, and I enjoyed their slightly firm exterior with the soft, sweet interior. Even the leftovers tasted good two days later. I ordered and enjoyed The Soldiers Lemonade, but wished I had started drinking it sooner than later due to the crushed ice. The warm night quickly melted it. We agreed that we'd return again for the burgers, comfortable atmosphere, and great service.

The service was excellent and the location has a lot of windows with natural light as well as outdoor seating. Definitely would go back and have another.

First visit to Catrina's Mexican Fusion, located in a space that once housed another Mexican…read morerestaurant I used to frequent years ago. We decided to stop in for a Cinco de Mayo celebration after seeing promotions for surprise food and drink specials, a live DJ, and a performance by Rafael Leidenz, apparently a comedian and Juan Gabriel impersonator. Not knowing much about either performer, we thought it sounded like a fun and lively way to spend the evening. Unfortunately, the experience ended up being pretty mixed. To start, I ordered the queso dip with added chorizo along with a house margarita. The queso was fairly unremarkable, served lukewarm, while the chorizo lacked the sear and crispness that really brings out its flavor. The tortilla chips were similarly underwhelming and could have benefited from at least a touch of seasoning. Normally I would have added a little salt myself, but there weren't any salt and pepper shakers available at the table. The margarita was serviceable, though sweeter than I personally prefer. For my main, I ordered the Jalisciense Burrito with carnitas and vegetables, smothered in queso. At first glance, the burrito appeared heavily weighted toward vegetables, though they were cooked very well, the red peppers still had a pleasant al dente bite while the onions were nicely rendered. About a quarter of the way through, I finally hit the carnitas section, and from there everything came together much better. Overall, it ended up being a flavorful and enjoyable burrito. Given the holiday crowds and event atmosphere, I'm willing to chalk up some of the food and service inconsistencies to the unusually high volume. Service throughout the night was minimal and difficult to flag down, though the eventual arrival of their habanero hot sauce, after three requests, was one of the better highlights of the evening. Now for the biggest issue: the sound volume. I've attended plenty of Cinco de Mayo celebrations and more concerts than I can count, so I'm not particularly sensitive to loud environments, but this crossed into genuinely uncomfortable territory. The DJ had the speakers absolutely pegged, with occasional distortion harsh enough to make people cover their ears. By the time Rafael Leidenz began performing, my ears were already numb. To Rafael's credit, he was entertaining. I don't speak Spanish and couldn't understand most of the performance, but his subtle comedic mannerisms and stage presence were enjoyable and clearly resonated with the crowd. Unfortunately, the excessive volume made it nearly impossible to hold a conversation with anyone at the table, which overshadowed much of the evening. The good: Rafael's performance and the habanero sauce. The okay: the food. The bad: the sound level and service. Had the volume been dialed back to a level where people could actually enjoy both the entertainment and each other's company, this easily would have been a more favorable review.

From the host to our server m, we couldn't ask for a better service encounter. It was busy and after 830p (they close at 10). I'm usually against late night dinning that close to closing because it's usually not a good experience. Glad to be proven wrong in this case. We got the boudin rolls to start to go along with The Jefferson and the Jackson Square Spritz (all pictured well most of the boudin got devoured).

So I…read morehave been meaning to try out Tibby's for quite some time now.... as there are very few places that offer New Orleans southern cajun comfort food within the Central Florida area, and it surely did not disappoint. This restaurant is located in Altamonte, right within a strip mall, and has plenty of surrounding parking for easy access. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated immediately. The interior was so whimsical and made you feel like you were directly transported to the beautiful city of New Orleans, it was super cute and on theme. For food, we had ordered the fried gator bites and cajun shrimp appetizer. Both items were very tasty and a great size for sharing. Now when it came to my entree, I ordered the Rita's Chicken... which was the true star of the show. That dish was soo tasty, the chicken was nicely seasoned and tender, and the dirty rice was a great compliment to it. The dirty rice was a tad bit too soft for my own preference, but the flavor was definitely there! Now, we cannot forget about the drinks and beignets. For the drinks, I tried the signature old fashioned. It was nice and strong with notes of sweet praline. For dessert, we of course had to try the beignets... which were out of this world. It came out nice and warm, they were so delicious! As it pertains to the service... our server was so amazing. She was very patient and super attentive to our large party. We even had the assistant manager come by and introduce herself which I thought was very nice. I really enjoyed my first time at Tibby's and I will definitely be back soon to try the other things on the menu!
