The overall…read moreexperience was excellent from start to finish, largely thanks to an amazing service team that kept everything running seamlessly and made us feel genuinely welcomed. As expected from a winery, the wine selection was outstanding and easily the star of the table. When it came to the dining, it was a bit of a mixed bag, though the appetizers got things off to a strong start. The quesadilla was packed with flavor and really hit the mark. The Drunken Shrimp, however, missed the landing--they were slightly dry and had a noticeably chewy texture. For the main course, the filet mignon medallions/tenderloin were decent in flavor, but the meat was a bit too chewy for what should have been a melt-in-your-mouth cut. Even with a couple of hiccups on the kitchen side, the stellar wine, fantastic appetizers, and top-tier service carried the evening. It's definitely a solid, fun spot to visit on I-Drive, and we'd happily return.

We were at the park during the day, but didn't stay for the evening. I had been looking on line at hotels to stay at and the Helios Hotel is the only hotel I know of that's directly connected to a park in Orlando. But it's very pricey. I did like the cool bar on top though and from what I saw, it seemed like an amazing spot to see the lights. I was correct. The first time we were there it was even better than I hoped. The view is amazing and the restaurant bar plays the accompanying music for the lights too. The second time we went the word still wasn't out about this great hack. We got a table right by the glass and had an incredible show. The bar itself has a great menu, and beautiful atrium setting. It's pricey, it well worth the view at night.

Girl, I'm eating rock, paper, scissors. The octopus was semi-hard, like wtf. At least it looked aesthetically good so I'll give them that, but still disappointing. And what was that thin-sliced meat? Idk. I asked the waiter what it was made of and she said she didn't know, then said she'd ask. Then she came back and said it was A5 Wagyu?? Hello? Are you kidding me? It did not taste like A5. It was stringy as hell, didn't melt in my mouth and I couldn't even cut it with my fork. It tasted like dry-cured prosciutto from the store. Like... A5 Wagyu? The food tasted okay overall, but maybe I expected too much from Helios. Omg, I've had oysters in the Midwest that were cleaned better. No rocks or shells landing in my mouth. The octopus there was sooo tender and the Wagyu actually tasted like fat because it is fat, but it melted in my mouth and was easy to cut with a fork. The ambiance was fabulous, I loved it. But we didn't get the seats by the terrace even though I requested it and there were empty tables. Idk why. The service was HAHAHA, hell. It took them 30 minutes just to ask us for drinks. The only reason we came here was because of the hype and the view and I didn't even get the view I wanted, which is whatever. But the food? Horrible. At least it looked aesthetically good.

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.

I really really like this, apple, banana and not boozy like a lot of golden ales. This is a sneaky one. Jernigan's Hazy IPA 6.8% ABV... this is slightly dry, a little juicy and really delicious. It is a clear hazy though. Magic City Milk Stout 5.5% ABV... this is a very clean and light stout. Totally crushable. Belle Isle Blond 5.1% ABV... this is a better tasting Miller or maybe Bud. Red Lake Ale Irish Red Ale 5.2% ABV... Malty, Red and very clean. Delicious. A chill and good time. Oh... they have a lot of great wine, but sorry guys... not really a wine drinker.

I'm a recruiting manager, and I can recognize when someone has the qualities of an excellent server. She was wonderful. Honestly, I found this rule quite ridiculous.

What it gets right: - Well-made cocktails, including classics and creative originals. We enjoyed the Philosopher's Old Fashioned and the Fleur 75. I like an Old Fashioned where I can taste the bourbon, which was the case here. It could be improved by using a single large ice cube, particularly in the Florida sun, where the cubed ice could dilute the drink too quickly. Went back through to try their saison, which is brewed by a local Orlando brewery. It was a bit tangier than prefer, but was refreshing on a sweltering day. - Friendly service. The bartenders were that happiest and most engaging employees we met. - A large-mirrored bar featuring its many selections, usually with some art deco or other architectural feature. - An overall upscale feel. The overall atmosphere is somewhat diminished by the nostalgic aspect of the American Quidditch team pennants adorning the bar. Usually such overt displays of Americanism are avoided, instead letting the craft and level of service speak for itself, but without it it might not feel very 'wizard-y' so I'll look past it. What it gets wrong: - I lived in Europe for several years and have been many of the so-called "American bars", including some quite well-regarded and famous ones. What's missing here is the intent. Universal reminds you that you're at a theme park by turning this into a quick-service location. I get that Universal probably doesn't want to make a session bar in its theme park, in part because they probably don't want to encourage consumption of multiple drinks in quick succession (though I did do that here) before people go on thrill rides. That's fair. But in doing what they've done here, they betray the intent of the American Bar. The American bars of Europe are not road-side stops. They're session locations you hit up before or after dinner or the theater. It's almost better if Universal hadn't even made it, because they created a place where you want to spend some time, but can't. Still, probably the best cocktail in any theme park, and better than most standard American restaurants too, and at surprisingly reasonable prices.

As someone who goes to Universal theme parks often enough, I understand certain things you buy…read moreinside are more for the "gimmick" factor than anything. For that reason, I usually tend to avoid liquor based drinks because they're usually on the light side with a very mixer-forward pour. However, this little bar tucked away in Harry Potter world serves a drink that's well worth your time & money. While they offer draft & canned beer, wine & non alcoholic beverages, the real star here is the Lobe Blaster. This dangerous, yet delicious, drink is a mix of moonshine, limoncello, absinthe & has an emulsion verte floater; it sure does the trick. It's mixed with lemon juice, club soda & simple syrup so it's super refreshing also. The rosemary gives it a nice aromatic profile as you drink it. The bartenders were really nice & they fully play into the theme. There wasn't too big of a line when I went but the drinks are poured to order so it takes a little bit of time. As long as it's under 20 minutes, I'd be okay with waiting. I found for the price point, this drink is by far the best tasting & strongest drink in Epic Universe. In fact, I've never had a drink this good (or strong) at any theme park. If you're in Epic Universe & seeking out a delicious adult beverage then look no further than Bar Moonshine.
