Apple Lounge & Grill has some of the best wings in Polk County. We started with the fried pickle…read morespears, but the real stars are the wings--crispy, saucy, and paired with a house-made dill ranch that doesn't miss. We tried the Mango Wango along with the garlic parmesan/medium buffalo combo, and both were excellent. Wednesday's $1 wing special is hard to beat. Good drinks, plenty of dartboards and pool tables, and an overall fun hangout spot. Only downside is that smoking is allowed inside the lounge. If that's an issue for you, I'd recommend calling your order in and grabbing it to-go. Our sever also addressed us by name and kept up with our drinks for the evening.

The true experience can be had by sitting on the covered back porch and overlooking the water. The food was very tasty and the service fantastic.

We will return.

This is a casual restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating and it is seat yourself. We picked an open table outside and sat there for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us. They then sent the server assigned to our table (Samantha). It was a quick smile-free greeting and she took our drink orders, then when serving our drinks she took our food order. After serving our food, she never stopped by our table again, although she stopped by her other tables around us several times. We had to stop her to ask for a box and our check.....she never offered drink refills even. We ordered a single cheeseburger with bacon and a side of onion rings ($14.74), a Fish Filet with no side ($14.50) and an order of Tater Kegs ($11.50). The cheeseburger with bacon looked great but didn't live up to the appearance. It was kind of tasteless....even the bacon was disappointing. The onion rings were crisp and pretty perfect. Fish Filet was large and tasty although we really would have liked more tartar sauce. The Tater kegs were also large and tasty. It was nice sitting outside with view of the lake and boat activity. This restaurant has potential to be much better....slow, minimum and cold service really takes a restaurant experience down. I hate that I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Happy Hour: just for some drinks and unfortunately not explained by the waitress and not indicated on the menu we got We had a watermelon smash (12 dollar) and a harborside margrita (13 dollar) which were very good. We ordered the gator bites (18,50 dollar) ... hugh portion. The drunken mussels (16.50 dollar) were delicious but too fast too cold We ended with a pineapple rum cake (13.50 dollar - for me too sweet) and a NY cheesecake (10.50 dollar) which was delicious. Total of the bill: 116.63 dollar. We decided NOT to tip, due to the fact we got a surcharge fee because we paid with a credit card ‍ In all these years, we NEVER had this Sorry guys, it's that or a tip. In spite of the beautiful view on the lake, we will not come back.

Just to get this out of the way, the restrooms were clean and individual which was awesome. As awesome in fact as the service. As I said earlier, we sat at the bar and Erica was our server. She took customer service to the next level. She was super pleasant, engaging and most importantly helpful. She gave recommendations for drinks and food. And it didn't feel fake like at some places. Erica was so very genuinely awesome! We ordered 10 wings, half buffalo mild and half honey old bay. They sounded good in theory, but the first batch was a tad under cooked for me. The honey old bay was meh, but the buffalo mild was decent. Luckily we were able to send them back and the second batch was way better. If you are going to order wings here, ask for them extra cooked or extra crispy. While we were waiting we were given some fries by Erica. And, the 2nd set of wings was fantastic! They have a QR code to pay your bill, but I couldn't get it to work so I had to pay the server. All and all a pretty good experience even with the huccups.

We were seated immediately upon arrival, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Both times we've visited, it hasn't been overly busy, which made for a relaxing dining experience. Personally I find that shocking as I would think it would be a tourist trap but it's mostly locals. We started with Homerun Margaritas, and they were delicious! They tasted a little on the light side at first, but our server happily added an extra shot, which was a nice bonus! For food, we ordered the mozzarella sticks, cheeseburger sliders, the Merica Burger, and chicken wings. Everything was cooked fresh, came out hot, and tasted fantastic. We really enjoyed every bite. Overall, another great experience with friendly service, delicious food, and a comfortable atmosphere. We look forward to coming back again!

We were in Winter Haven, FL, for the weekend celebrating my friend's 50th birthday, and before…read moreheading back home on Sunday, we wanted to find a nice brunch spot with interesting, unique entrées and cocktails. That's when we came across Sauvage, a Polynesian craft bar & kitchen located in the heart of Winter Haven. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was right--vibrant, tropical, trendy, and fun. And then we spotted two retro arcade games--Mortal Kombat II and Street Fighter Turbo--that guests can play while waiting for their food. Talk about nostalgia! That definitely took us back to our childhoods. Okay, okay... I'm showing our age. Let's get back to the food! The Brunch Sauvage's menu combines Polynesian-inspired cuisine with American favorites and creative twists, which immediately caught our attention. We decided to share two entrées: Duck Confit Benedict Duck confit served over crispy hash browns, topped with poached eggs, hollandaise, and chives. Brunch Scallion Pancake A savory scallion pancake topped with scrambled eggs, cheese, millionaire bacon, island sauce, and sweet Thai chili, served with a side of grits. Both dishes were different, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I especially loved that each entrée came served in its own personalized cast-iron skillet. It made the presentation feel rustic and unique while keeping everything warm. And the portions were perfectly sized for brunch--satisfying without being overwhelmingly heavy. And Then There Was the Cocktail... We couldn't visit a Polynesian craft bar without trying one of their creative cocktails! We went with the Mango Sticky Rice Milk Punch -- made with coconut-washed brandy, mango soju, five-spice, and vanilla. This cocktail was cool, light, fruity, and refreshing, with just enough of that tropical flavor to make it feel like the perfect summer brunch drink. Honestly, I really enjoyed it! Sauvage was such a fun find for our Sunday brunch. Between the tropical atmosphere, creative Polynesian-American menu, unique cocktails, nostalgic arcade games, and beautifully presented food, it was definitely more than just your typical brunch spot. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well-portioned, and thoughtfully presented. And the fact that we discovered it while celebrating a 50th birthday weekend made the experience even better. Would I come back? Absolutely! Next time we're in Winter Haven, we're skipping brunch and coming back for dinner. I'm definitely curious to see what Sauvage is doing with their dinner menu. Sauvage gets a "we'll definitely be back" from us!
