    Greek slider but not lamb meat.

    My only complaint is that I wish the shows were longer! I think for a venue like this, an hour and half would be ideal! The service is excellent! Loved the mushrooms but they could have been larger. The flatbreads looked hearty!

    My first review was for a wine bar George sommelier tasting, that was 5+ stars. Then I visited again for Alan Cumming (twice) for his show "Uncut". The food menu at that show was amazing. I told people. I invited others I wanted to drag people. Something has gone downhill with the menu. This last time we went to see Cece Teneil for her Christmas show. The show, amazing, the atmosphere, amazing, the company, the vibes..all of it amazing...BUT the food menu, not good at all. I tried 4 items, none of which are cheap and didn't like any of it. The flavors were weak or non existent. I was really disappointed. Will I go back? 100%. Do I hope they change the menu again, also yes!

    Best seats in the house!

    I went to Judson's Live at the Dr. Phillips Center last night, and it was absolutely amazing. From the moment we walked in, the ambience set the tone....beautiful space, stunning bar, intimate yet upscale vibe. It feels like a hidden gem inside the center. We saw The Byrne Brothers, an Irish/Celtic band, and they were incredibly entertaining. So much energy, talent, and personality, precisely the kind of live music experience that keeps you fully engaged the entire time. The service was excellent! --and the bar itself is gorgeous. We ordered the flatbread, which was pretty good and paired nicely with drinks while enjoying the show. Overall, this is such a special spot for live music, cocktails, and a great night out: Judson's Live nails the atmosphere, the talent, and the experience. We'll absolutely be back.

    I'm hungry! I ordered ceviche almost an hour ago, and never received it; I don't know why, no explanation, ignored. Drink was really good though, has Chambord, yummy. French martini. Waiter/server even took my utensils away, although I never ate. I mentioned it, hoping I'm not charged for food I never received. He offered me a glass of prosecco, bubbly, finally acknowledged... Bizarre... I am watching other tables receiving food. The live music is excellent. My seat was $17. There are promo code discounts available near showtime. The box office guy is super nice. The waiter simply didn't follow up with the kitchen; I slipped through the cracks. Drinks were good though. Water tastes good also. Fancy beautiful place. CHEERS!! The singer sounds wonderful, angelic bluegrass music; their first time in Orlando. I can't wait to return & TRY SOME FOOD! :/

    I loved going to see After 5 perform at Judson's live. The venue is beautiful and tucked away towards the back of the Dr. Philip's center. Every seat is a great seat because we sat towards the back and the sound was great where we were. The ticket prices weren't bad at all and I believe the food and drinks weren't too expensive either. Both the food and drinks were delicious and our server was very attentive. All of the wait staff were great at not blocking any view of the stage. I loved my time here and will definitely be back!

    Judson's has consistently served amazing quality food, by very attentive staff, amidst a wonderfully cool vibe atmosphere! It should be noted that the night time feel is uniquely different than the weekend brunch feel... and I love both experiences! Both experiences are upscale, and super fun.

    Always such a treat to go to a performance at Judson's. The ambiance is like a cozy jazz club vibe. The food is good, but pricey time and the service is always great!

    Amazing venue with great staff! Parking is valet at one of the lots. Once inside the line was so fast, you got to your assigned seats guided by a staff member asap. We came on a night with Brandford Marsalis. As all the tables were sold out we got two bar seats and honestly I like them very much because they are super soft and comfortable, and you are higher up looking over the tables, with great view of the stage. Tickets for a show are not cheap and also require a two drink minimum. We had the Sazerac and Espresso martini. Staff was very professional however during quiet moments of this jazz concert: being aware shaking or crushing ice during a quiet moment is disturbing the show. The sound was amazing. We were not rushed out after the show. Great evening!

    Such a nice small and upscale venue with an intimate setting. Sound quality was on point. The performance was great! The seats were comfy with tables where you can order food right there. Service was good and friendly. The show was short but worthwhile. Nice place to lounge and felt classy. The bathrooms are very far away though, seems to be sharing with the other theater.

    I was probably the youngest one there but I LOVED it. It just makes me feel like I went back in time and liked the Jazz era. I felt at peace. The band was amazing. The vibe was super chill and relaxing! The food ... chef kiss! The drink super cute and so good! My only dislikes were the show is ONLY for 1 hour... and the bathroom seems like a mile away. I will definitely be back.

    If you haven't been please try to make it here. Beware, they start on time so don't be late. Perfect for a week night date, celebration or just go and support very talented artist's. Ordered drink, appetizers and great company and it was soo a perfect night out.

    If you're looking for a different kind of night out, Judson's is the place to be. Whether you're going out with the family, your girlfriends, or a great date night, try this one out. Doors open about an hour before the show, so you get to be greater by the amazing staff. Everything we ordered was very good, and to be small plates they're nice size portions. The entertainment was incredible and kept everyone fully engaged. I can't wait to return here for an elevated night out!

    Super cool venue with excellent food and drinks! I randomly picked an artist to try this place out. Tickets are easy to buy online and reasonably priced, along with nearby parking that was a short walk to the Dr. Phillip's Center. My party of two was welcomed through a quick security check and checked into be shown to our table. There didn't seem to be a bad seat in the house. The vibe was a bit of an old fashioned but upscale lounge with velvet seats and curtains. Our table was at the very back and we still had a great view of the stage. Our server was quick to take our drink order and answer a few questions about substitutions for me for gluten containing items. The menu was marked for gluten, dairy, nuts, pork, vegan, soy and shellfish. We ordered the cheese and charcuterie sampler and pork belly bites. Both were fantastic. The charcuterie was a nice mix of quite a few things, that seemed to jive well. I would have like to see a manchego or a cheddar to pair with the berry jam little better than the blue and apricot cheeses. They subbed the toasted focaccia for garlic crisps for me as a gf option, which didn't go flavor wise but I appreciate the effort. The pork belly was a nice blend of sweet, spicy and savory and topped with a beautiful blend of microgreens. The performers were great as well! It's exciting to have a venue like this in Orlando. We will definitely catch another show here.

    They did a great job of making it feel like a jazz club of old located right inside of the Dr Phillips Center.

This was a good date night out doing something's we both enjoy,food and live music. The food was mid. The wings weren't flavorful but the presentation was nice. Hard to be disappointed with a dipping sauce. I enjoyed the caramelized onion flatbread and the Avocado & Feta salad. I used ranch instead of the sauce that it came with and it was good. I had a rum punch type drink and it was $28 with nothing to offer..that was disappointing. Rick Melvern was the voice. The show was good. I enjoyed the voice of but he was very rude to my husband and I. He ignored us but interacted with ALL the other patrons. We sang.. he ignored, we danced he ignored.. I purposefully didn't say anything,until my husband asked me if it seemed he had a problem with us. He blatantly asked all the tables by us for request and no one had one.. we yelled out "Reasons" and he acted like he couldn't understand my husband. This left a sour taste in my mouth. I literally made it a point to continue to enjoy my company and make the best of our time. If I had the option to NOT buy a table and contribute to him. But the band was well worth it. I told Naylani. For this reason I told her I wouldn't return.. but she insisted to give it another try. We will.

For Food I ordered the scallop & shrimp ceviche, which was delicious but I wish they added more chips since the portion is quite large. I also ordered the caramelized onion flat bread .

There's no waitstaff, so you'll need to head to the bar to grab your drinks, but that didn't bother me at all. I only ordered a Shirley Temple, and it was fine. My husband stuck to Stella's most of the night, and he said they were fresh and served ice-cold, just how he likes them. The real highlight of the evening was the band--the 789s. They were absolutely fantastic! The artists were engaging with the crowd, creating an electric vibe that kept the dance floor packed the whole time. You couldn't help but be caught up in the energy of the music. The combination of great drinks and lively entertainment made for an unforgettable experience. If we're ever back in Sanford and there's a good band playing at The Alley, we will absolutely return. It's a great spot to enjoy a drink and listen to great live music.

That's the only perk that was taken advantage. We saw no difference in timing on seating when it came to a non packed show (the show starts exactly the same time for everyone) and we saw no difference in better drinks. We arrived as a party of 2 and they had our ticket ready at the front with the name it was booked under. We went through a cute speakeasy that takes place in Chicago. Walked to the bar to get a drink. This part was a long wait. The line was long. Someone ended up coming over and asking us what we wanted and grabbed it for us so we can sit down. We thought we were eating dinner during the show. Nope. Two separate areas. This is why when purchasing it tells you it's 6:30-10:00pm. The starters came out and they were good. Bread. Mozzarella sticks. Salads. Then the entrees came out and that was terrible. The chicken parm must have not been fresh. Frozen? The lasagna was okay. The pasta was less than ok. Everything had the same sauce actually. The food really was not good. And our bodies surely did react to eating this food. The dessert? Pass. The show was not necessarily what we thought. Think less gangster. Think more cheesy. We were engaged though and shared some laughs. Overall it was a relaxing night but it would only get a 3 - 3.5 star for the overall experience. Also if you're booking online, they don't tell you but you should bring cash to tip.
