Figured my chances were slim, but Tonya (or perhaps Tonia) the manager ensured that my dining dreams came true. She was very helpful, fitting us in at 8:30. The door to enter the restaurant isn't prominently labeled, so I always second guess if I have the right way. It's a classy feel inside with lighting that sets the mood, as well as cohesive fixtures and accents. Tablet menus? Yes. That's a thing here. Our server did a great job taking care of us. All our needs were met with finesse. As for the food, so delicious! I would normally go for the Lobster Mac & Cheese, which is to die for, but I like to switch things up. The Mahi Mahi Sandwich didn't disappoint. The regular mac & cheese that I had for my side is some of the best around town. The cocktails are flawless. My Mint Julep and Manhattan were perfectly crafted and 100% satisfying. This place is consistent and will not let you down. Looking forward to my next visit.

For the food, the best item on the bbq chicken platter was the creamed corn. There was a perfect crunch on top and the cream paired very well with the sweet corn. I believe it had jalapeños in it but there barely was any spice. The bbq chicken tasted just like you would imagine it and the fries weren't anything special. My girlfriend really enjoyed the lobster mac & cheese. Just like the creamed corn, my girlfriend complimented the crunch on top of the entree. We both liked the spinach dip and the chips were lightly seasoned well too. For the drinks, we got the baby blue cosmo and the espresso martini. The martini was good and the cosmo was pretty strong for it being a restaurant.

The Bistro Bar located within the UCF Courtyard Marriott is a decent mini restaurant bar and grill…read morewhich provides guests with a paid meal option for breakfast, lunch and dinner until 10pm as well as a full service bar in the daytime and evenings/nights. Elite guests receive a free full breakfast buffet. John the barkeep in the evenings was quite good in mule and margarita making. Drinks are expectedly somewhat pricy compared to outside establishments but worth it with the ability to bring your beverages back to your room. If you opt to stay at UCF Courtyard, Recommend that you check out the Bistro Bar for a quick bite and drinks.

I've been going to Aurora for a few years now, primarily for their Happy Hour. It's one of the few…read moredecent happy hours in all of Oviedo, as crazy as that is. They have a few nice craft beers on tap and the most amazing hummus platter ever. So many places give you a tiny dollop of hummus, a few crackers and if you're lucky a few cut up carrots. Not here, you get a giant amount of hummus - you get house made lavash - and you get beautiful baby medium sized carrots and all of that is only $8 on happy hour. The hummus is very flavorful with a tiny kick and the lavash is super crunchy with an amazing seasoning on it that reminds me of "everything bagel seasoning". You'll see two different pictures - these were taken a year or more apart but you can see things have barely changed. You always get the amazing crackers and carrots and a huge amount of hummus. They also have a few great wines by the glass on happy hour, some yummy sliders, and now a pepperoni pizza that looks awesome but I haven't tried yet.

Dined here for the first time with a group of about 12 in the private room. I gotta admit, service…read morewas slow, especially when we were checking out and it was a company dinner so there was only 1 credit card to run which took about 30 mins. Other than that, the food was great. I sampled a few items of the apps that people ordered. From what I can remember, the truffle fries really stood out. For my entree, I got the chopped elk medium cooked. It was fantastic. Very delicious and almost tasted like a really beefy meatloaf. Not gamey at all. The sauce drizzled on it was so savory. I wished there were more mashed potatoes underneath because those were amazing too. It was also a very big portion. Definitely recommend. Would come back again and try something else or even order that again.

Visited Wine 4 Oysters on a whim with one of my girl friends on a random Thursday night. I've heard…read moreso many good things about it but haven't been able to check them out. Walking in, it looked very cozy- tiny but cutely decorated and on theme with the wine and oysters. I ordered a boil whereas my friend ordered the oysters. I also had an espresso martini. Both were very good! The boil had an amazing amount of garlic which was just so good. Can never have enough garlic! Our server seemed to be the only one in the restaurant besides the chefs back of the house. She was very friendly and answered questions that we had about the menu. Overall, a great random Thursday night turned into a lovely one having good food and drinks!

I'll be honest, the name Wine (good) Oysters (great) got me lookin'. Add in the myriad Yelp reviews…read moreand I was mapping directions. What a find! They have a plethora of cooked oyster variations (not necessarily my jam) and raw. My favorite part of oysters on the half shell is mignonette; I loathe places that only provide cocktail sauce. Yet another reason why I'd come back? W4O provides two mignonette options; wait...is this heaven? After some vino and oysters, my colleague and I weren't crazy hungry. I chose the charcuterie board and she the salmon tostini. Not the most diverse charcuterie board I've ever seen, but it worked. Salmon tostini was on point and we were upset we didn't prioritize this dish above all others. NOTE: If you're on the fence, I completely agree with Yelper Hanh, Happy Hour is a great time to give Wine 4 Oysters a try! Small, strip mall venues are often hit or miss, but Wine 4 Oysters is a home run! Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

I typically come twice a month but never wrote a review…read more Long story short, I bought my daughter for her last day of school & we were sitting across from a woman interviewing for a position in the kitchen. She didn't really have experience but apparently had some schooling. The guy (I'm assuming a kitchen manager) expressed his reservations but offered her a job doing "cold prep" (whatever that means). She seemed sweet. I got the vibe she'll be a good employee. But I'm happy he gave her an opportunity because there's no way to get experience without someone taking a chance on you. All in all, I always have a good experience here but seeing that interaction made me realize I'm glad to be a customer here at a place that let's people learn & grow. (My waitress Jennifer S was amazing too) (Also Lillian is great. Miss having her for tastings)

Orders all came correctly. The drinks were timely and the food came quickly and correctly. The menu has many options and everything looked delicious. I have to go back to try their birria. Price wise, it's slightly more expensive than your run-of-the mill place but it was worth every penny. They had happy hour even though it was a holiday and that was an added bonus. The plates were made decently sized but my burrito was huge! I ended up taking it home and having it the next day. Definitely a good place to go. It's fairly sized so getting in groups shouldn't be a problem but also a good time for a date night.
