We ordered the buffalo chicken egg rolls and the deviled eggs (with no bacon) as appetizers.

The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, relaxed, they keep the shades lowered during the day to reduce that sun intake and it's lovely. It feels nice and relaxed in here no matter the weather outside. Again, we enjoyed the experience but the service was fairly slow.

Noir Bar is definitely one of my top BARS to visit on my short list of bars I enjoy immensely. I've…read morebeen coming since it opened, and I really cannot say I've been disappointed. The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.

What an incredible dining experience at Delany's Tavern!…read more From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and professional, and the ambiance was the perfect blend of elegant and welcoming. We started with the She Crab Soup, which was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. I then ordered the Dirty Rice Entrée, and wow--what an explosion of flavors! It reminded me of a New Orleans-style paella, loaded with perfectly seasoned dirty rice, andouille sausage, shrimp, and an incredible depth of flavor in every bite. My husband began with the French Vegetable Soup, which he described as magnificent, followed by the Short Rib Sliders, which were tender, flavorful, and expertly prepared. For dessert, we indulged in the Peach Cobbler à la Mode, topped with vanilla bean ice cream. It was decadent, comforting, and the perfect ending to the meal. To top it all off, we enjoyed a frothy cappuccino served with a rock candy sugar stick--a beautiful finishing touch. The food, presentation, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. We can't say enough good things about our experience and look forward to returning. Highly recommended!

Both were expertly mixed and absolutely delicious. For food, we got the giant soft pretzel, the meat and cheese board, and the hot honey pizza. All were delicious. The pretzel was our favorite. We ordered the milk and cookies and that was such a fun treat. The cookies were warm and served with oat milk and a shot. All around great bites. Tuesday night burlesque was lovely. The ladies are so talented and it's not as crowded on week nights. We love Mathers!

I went on a date last night at AC Sky Bar and was honestly really excited since it had been a while…read moresince my last visit. Let me start with parking I parked in the hotel garage and was surprised by the $25 flat fee . I don't remember it being that high before, but I didn't have much of a choice. On top of that, the kiosk for entering and exiting the garage was giving everyone trouble. It wouldn't read my card, and after what felt like 50 swipes and trying a second card (per the attendant's suggestion), it finally worked. Thankfully, I was able to park close to the elevators after all that. Once I got to the 18th floor, the experience definitely improved. I was greeted right away by the hostess, but my date had already texted me where he was seated. We had early reservations, so it wasn't crowded at all. The ambiance is still beautiful very "grown and sexy" although the weather was cloudy, so the view wasn't as stunning as it could've been. My date was a gentleman and pulled out my chair (love that!), and shortly after, our waitress Valerie came over to greet us. She was amazing the entire night. We already knew what we wanted, so we ordered pretty quickly. We both got the Sunset Margaritas, which were really good. For food, I had the AC Burger and my date had the steak sandwich, both cooked medium well everything came out great and tasted just as good. We ended up taking a couple tequila shots and ordered another round of drinks. Valerie stayed attentive the whole time, checking in on us and patiently answering all of my date's many questions without missing a beat. Overall, the vibe here is definitely more adult and upscale not really a kid-friendly environment in terms of atmosphere, but since it's in a hotel, families are still welcome. It's a great spot for date nights, group outings, or even hosting events. Despite the parking hassle, we had a great time and will definitely be back especially to try their brunch!

Last night we enjoyed the avocado dip and the short rib and fig flatbread. I was surprised that the avocado dip was cold, but still delicious. Another favorite is their beef carpaccio.

You'll need to navigate one set of stairs to reach the bar, followed by another once you're admitted. The atmosphere is perfect: dark without being overly so, with beautiful candlelight throughout. There's seating at the bar and a few tables inside, while most of the seating is outside beneath a covered glass awning. The drinks are excellent--some of the best I've had in Orlando. The bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable and true masters of their craft. If the bar is crowded, drinks can take a little while, but they're well worth the wait. I originally found Hanson's while looking for a place to repair a pair of vintage Vietnam combat boots. Instead, I ended up having some of the best drinks of my life. I went to sleep with the boots beneath my pillowcase, and when I woke up, they had somehow been repaired. Perhaps the spirits of the boots were pleased with my drink choices. A wonderful experience all around!
