I recently had brunch at Wine Bar George. I had been wanting to try this restaurant and was finally…read moreable to. I stopped in right at opening on Saturday morning. I was immediately greeted by the hostess. I explained that it was my first time and she was kind enough to make some menu recommendations. Since it was early we were promptly seating. We took the stairs to our table upstairs. We were seated near a wall and the bar. I waiter promptly came over to greet us. I wanted to try a few things but the brunch menu was sort of limited. I opted for crispy Mac & cheese bites, french toast, and breakfast croissant sandwich. The mac & cheese bites were crispy but could have used a little more seasoning and a little more cheese filling. The French toast was 2 pieces of toast with maple syrup and fruit. I opted to leave the fruit off with the current health concerns with raw food. It would have been nice to have been offered a substitute but I wasn't so I paid $18 for 2 pieces of French toast. I feel like the French toast would have been a better choice if it was accompanied with choice of, chicken sausage or regular sausage and eggs. That would have made a more complete brunch. The French toast was ok but could have used a little more flavor (ie cinnamon, vanilla, etc). The syrup was a very good grade of maple syrup and tasted so good. I did add 2 eggs for $6. Lastly had the breakfast croissant sandwich with grits. The sandwich was good I did substitute the regular sausage for chicken sausage. The chicken sausage was delicious. I was very pleased with the grits they were so good. Overall, the portions are small especially for the price. The restaurant is in a prime location, right in the center of Disney Springs and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. I would like to return for lunch or dinner in the cooler months so I may dine on the second floor patio over looking Disney Springs.

Sunday brunch is a busy time for them so plan accordingly if going then. And I highly recommend a reservation. Ok, first the toffee cake. It's like a monkey bread but better. So delicious but super decadent and sweet so a good coffee or brunch cocktail is helpful. The cheese board was also amazing. Made in house, it's a good appetizer to prepare for the rest of the meal. The carrot cake pancakes were INSANE!!! I love a carrot cake and these were that but for breakfast. It's a big portion so good to share or get as your main. The breakfast pizza was also so good. Spicy and filling. The eggs can also be prepared anyway you choose. Major hit with my crew. 10/10 definitely recommend. Can't wait to go back!

I don't understand the hate this place gets online from Orlando locals. We're new to the Orlando…read morearea and have had this on our list of must try spots for some time now. I know there are a few locations but we planned to stop at this location specifically during a last min birthday staycation (but not *on* my brthday) If you look online this routinly is on lists of date night and good group dining spots and there will inevitably be a ton of people in the comments complaining about it being "mid" or "basic" but that wasn't our experience at all. We had a great experience here. We initially booked for the first time of our staycation but called last min to push back a few days as I wasn't feeling very well. It was no issue at all and they changed our reservation without issue or complaints & wished me well. The space is really cool. MCM in design with a touch of California beach bungalow. We were seated in a back room with a view of the lake behind. It was a bit loud but most places are these days. I am deaf in one of my ears so one I told our server & she spoke up over the noise and it was a non-issue. Appreciated because that's not always the case. We ordered a glass of wine and the "Shirley After Dark" cocktail (I know it's a wine bar but I just felt like a cocktail) loved it. Would absolutely order it again. We ordered the house salad which was far from basic and delicious and fresh. Very light and decent size. My husband also aired the Cauliflower app which was massive. The hummus was delicious. I'm not a fan of cauliflower but he raved about it. We also split the Butchers Pizza and had them out the hot honey on the side. I can't do spice after destroying my stomach in college so they brought me a side of normal honey so I could hector full flavor profile within my dietary needs. We got to speaking with our server whose name I unfortunately can't remember (light blonde shoulder length hair if management reads this) & she was very knowledgeable about the wine selection. We're not white wine drinkers but the FL heat is a little too much for a glass of red most days so we're trying to get into it. She had 3 recommendations and brought me all three to taste. Unfortunatly I enjoyed was sold out by the time we ordered it (which at the height of tourist summer isn't beyond the realm of reasonability) We then ordered the affogato and olive oil cake. Both were delicious. It was my husband's first time trying an affogato and it has since become a favorite of his. It was mentioned in passing while chatting that we were in a last min staycation as it was my birthday week and we didn't plan anything in advance and made it clear it was not my birthday but she still comped my cocktail and the olive oil cake and wrote a lighthearted "sorry we were out of the wine" on our receipt. Which was a genuinely nice & unexpected gesture. The entire meal was quite affordable even before anything got comped compared with other options of the same caliber in the area. Portons are quite large as well. While I don't love communal tables typically, almost no one was seated at the same table and if they were it was quite far apart (see photos). I can see that being bothersome on a busy night but we were there on a summer night (busy enough to run out of a wine) so I can't imagine it being typically worse than that So I say again, I don't understand what people don't like about this place. We'll be back.

The portion size on the regular eggplant dinner wasn't quite as big as the very large chicken parmesan, but still a good size. We had a great night and very nice dinner with very good food. If I have one other criticism from our visit, it's that I prefer getting a bill over than having the info on a handheld screen read to me. I feel it's a bit classier and prefer having the chance to look it over. That CERTAINLY will not keep us from returning!

We were seated in the outdoor area and then sat for over 20 minutes without a single server coming to our table. When someone finally did, they apologized and explained there had been a miscommunication among the staff. I appreciated the apology, but the issues didn't end there -- our salad never made it to the table. Instead, it was packed up at the end of the meal and handed to us to take home, which isn't quite the same as enjoying it with dinner. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, but a restaurant is more than just food. With so many other great restaurants in the Winter Garden area, I won't be coming back.

From…read morethe moment we arrived, the staff made the entire evening feel special and truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. One thing I really appreciated was the service setup. Each table is assigned a specific waiter, but throughout the evening, you'll also see a team of staff members working together. Everyone plays a part in making sure your experience is smooth, enjoyable, and well taken care of. Our server, Diego, was by far exceptional when it came to customer service. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to explain each dish in great detail. He didn't just tell us what was on the plate--he explained the flavors, ingredients, and what made each dish unique. Every question we had was answered thoroughly, and you could genuinely tell that he knew and cared about what he was serving. Diego truly helped make my birthday celebration feel extra special, and I'm incredibly thankful to him and the entire staff for making the night so memorable. And let's talk about the FOOD! Everything was superb--absolutely amazing and full of flavor. Each dish was beautifully prepared and delicious. And the dessert was just as impressive! I definitely recommend trying the lemon dessert. It was incredible and the perfect way to end the meal. As for the atmosphere, it's more on the relaxed and intimate side. There isn't loud or overbearing music playing overhead, so you can actually hear the conversations happening around your table. You may hear other tables throughout the restaurant, but I personally enjoyed that it allowed us to have a comfortable conversation without having to compete with loud music. Overall, Bull & Bear made my birthday celebration one to remember. The food, the service, the attention to detail, and especially Diego's exceptional customer service all came together to create an experience I'm truly grateful for. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, Bull & Bear is definitely worth experiencing!

We ordered the corn soup and the Caesar salad, which were phenomenal! For dinner, we got the filet mignon in the Dover sole, and the frites. I haven't been here in quite some time, and I thought the frites were interesting with the ketchup and the other sauce that they gave. They have a wonderful bread selection and the butter is to die for! We had the peanut butter chocolate cake for dessert and it was so good! This restaurant is probably one of the best in terms of service and food quality. If you have a special occasion or just want to be a little on the fancier side, this is your best bet! I love when they fry the fish bones and you can eat them like chips! This is only because the fish is fresh! They taste like little potato sticks, I promise!!! Shout out to Eric & Gustavo!

As much as we enjoyed the atmosphere and service, we expected a bit more from the food. The drinks were just average, and the calamari appetizer lacked the crispiness we were hoping for. We also ordered our steaks medium, but they arrived closer to medium-well. While I enjoy that the steaks has some fat for flavor, it was way to much. We didn't make an issue of it because the steaks were still flavorful, and we were genuinely enjoying ourselves. Now let me tell you about the star of the evening, the Blue Crab Fingers! Whoever decided to put these on the menu deserves an award. They were packed with flavor, and the toasted bread was the perfect accompaniment. Dipped into that delicious sauce, every bite was absolutely incredible. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée. It was just okay. Overall, we had a wonderful birthday dinner and enjoyed our experience. While there were a few misses with some of the food, those Blue Crab Fingers alone are enough to bring us back again!

It is difficult maneuvering around glassware, glass bottles, other fragile items with wheelchairs and strollers all around, but you're in little "France" at Epcot, so it's to be expected.

I don't know if they meant it to come off rude, but it was a little off-putting. I did speak French to them, and they smiled and answered back. It reminded me of being at the nail salon and the employees there speaking to each other (insert Anjelah Johnson nail salon stand up comedy here).

As with each of the land pavilions, the staff members are from various regions in Italy and typically work on a temporary basis. Three must-try small plates are recommended for my wife and me. The first is the Polipo Grigliato, featuring grilled Mediterranean octopus served with potatoes, pancetta, Calabrian chili, caperberries, parsley, and lemon. It is topped with extra virgin olive oil and is a delightful treat for octopus enthusiasts. According to one of the waiters, it is the most requested small plate dish, ensuring the freshest octopus available. The second small dish is the Carpaccio di Manzo, featuring charred wagyu beef, arugula, Parmesan cheese, and lemon dressing. The wagyu is thinly sliced, so diners should prepare for a different culinary experience compared to a traditional steak. However, it is fresh and delectable. Finally, we order the Fior di Latte "Caprese," which consists of fresh, melt-in-your-mouth mozzarella cheese paired with a salad of red and yellow grape tomatoes, balsamic emulsion, and extra virgin olive oil. It is an exquisite and flavorful dish. Walk-up reservations are a must as it does get busy.

You will need a park ticket to visit this bar. This is one of our always stop when visiting Animal Kingdom. This is just a bar, nothing fancy, but the bartenders are always great, the drinks are good, there is usually a special cocktail, the atmosphere around the bar is always upbeat and you might even catch a live performance while sipping on your cocktail. This bar has different options including specialty beer, wine and a basic stocked bar with some cocktails. There is usually a specialty cocktail of the month or quarter or event happening as well. I usually pick either a specialty beer or make a cocktail with the liquors they have. My wife usually chooses the specialty drinks. We have always enjoyed the drinks at this bar. Some of their drinks are pre batch made but for batch-made drinks, they are not terrible and still pack a nice little punch. Recently we ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita, which was originally designed to celebrate Hispanic and Latin American cultures. This was meant to be a limited time drink and it is still available, but I have no idea for how long. It is really good, one of the better drinks we have had. Hopefully it is popular so it will stay on the menu permanently. Another popular drink is the Ngumu Jungle Juice. This one is also very refreshing and a good one to order if you are unsure. I would definitely recommend this bar. They have great drinks, really friendly bartenders, lots of seating at the bar and also around it. It is perfect to grab before waiting in line for the safari or Lion King show. You cannot bring drinks into the Lion King Show but if there is a line, this is the perfect stop while you wait. I would say make sure to check it out when you need a quick drink at Animal Kingdom.

If you want my opinion, Player 1 Video Game Bar, in Orlando, is fantastic. It's the quintessential…read moreretro-arcade bar. It's dark, cool, and the themed decor fits the place perfectly. For example, the top of the bar is actually a time line of the history of video games...something to take in while you're throwing back a few adult beverages. Assuming that you're looking to drink a bit, they have an outstanding collection of craft beer, and of course, they have the obligatory "80s themed" cocktails. I haven't quite figured out the food menu. But hey, P1VGB is not really, I don't think, that kind of place. GAMES? They have an excellent selection of old school vids. And whatever the game count, it goes up by 60 because they have at least 1 multigame rig (packaged in a Ms. Pac-Man cabinet). This combo brings you most, if not all, of the blockbuster titles from the 80s. They also have several rare machines. Last but not least, they THE SINGLE ALL TIME GREATEST COIN-OP SPORTS GAME! ATARI FOOTBALL!! Yeah, it's that much fun...I still have callouses and blisters from rolling that big ass track ball back in 1979! Pinball? Well, this is not a pinball palace, but, they do have about 8 to 10 tables. Great titles including Twilight Zone, Haunted House, and Jaws. In addition to the coin-op games that us Gen-Xers grew up with, they have multiple videogame consoles available. For a bar that offers this many games set on free play, admission is very inexpensive. I'd say that at any given time, 5 to 10 percent of the games are down. Not too bad. Located just up the street from Sofrito Latin Cafe, this place is well worth a few hours of time time. 5 stars!
