I did have a hurricane and oh my Lord it was just like New Orleans. The service was impeccable. I can't remember the name of our waitress, but Lord was she good.

Oh man were they good!!!! Ambience everything to me and the decorations come straight from Nola and heavens I loved every second of being in that restaurant. I will go back again and again and again. Thank you for the absolute most amazing time Tibby's!!!!!!

I have been eating at the Briarpatch Restaurant for over 40 years and have totally enjoyed the chunky chicken salad. But this time, the salad was not chunky it was a typical shredded chicken salad with too much pepper - not the traditional chicken salad I have had over the past 40 years. Ownership needs to do something about this.

We both started with a cup of coffee and a large glass of fresh orange juice. Everything was so fresh and delicious! I ordered the French toast with fresh fruit and mascarpone cheese. OMG, it was SO good! I didn't even need extra syrup because the mascarpone and fresh fruit blended together into the perfect naturally sweet breakfast. Every bite was delicious! My partner had the best breakfast, too. He ordered the short rib, and it was incredibly tender and flavorful. The potatoes were perfectly crispy, just the way we like them! We were both so happy and left feeling like we had just enjoyed an amazing breakfast. Our waiter was super cool and provided wonderful hospitality. He made our experience even better. The restaurant is always beautiful, clean, and welcoming. I highly recommend this spot! If you're looking for a delicious breakfast with great service and a beautiful atmosphere, Briarpatch is definitely worth a visit!

5 Stars for a healthy brunch (that's hard to find in this city at the moment)!…read more We stopped by and ordered the vegan breakfast sandwich. It featured tofu (the menu says almond crusted, but it wasn't), house made lentil sausage, buttermilk ranch dressed kale, spicy aioli, on a brioche bun. It was SO good and I would absolutely order it again. 10/10 vegetarian option. We also got the herbed chicken salad panini and, again, super impressed! It's on toasted sourdough and came with our choice of side (oven baked sweet potatoes). The chicken salad itself was full of herbs and stood out! The sweet potatoes were also spiced and were a treat, not an afterthought. I loved the aioli dip that came with them and found myself dipping everything in it! I also got a matcha and an iced cortado. The matcha was fab- with a seasonal blueberry syrup. The coffee was actually a bit of a disappointment. It tasted burnt and we didn't love it. Quick shoutout to Matt at the counter who was a GEM when we were making our brunch picks. A friendly staff member can really elevate an experience!! Finally, they carry really good natural wines. I know because I've had those bottles at Golden Hour in Baldwin Park and they are standouts. Next time, I'm grabbing some wine!

This is a fast casual establishment where you order at the counter and they deliver your food to your table. We ordered drip coffee, Fig latte frittata and burrito in the bowl. The burrito in the bowl could've used more flavor and the bacon wasn't as crispy as I'd prefer, but the potatoes on the side were pretty good. The Frittata looked and tasted amazing. The sauce was on point! The latte was really smooth and felt like a hug. They have a good amount of outdoor seating and it's shaded which works perfect for those hot Florida days. Will definitely be back and see what other seasonal offerings they might have in the future!

I found out that the Glass Knife location on Park Avenue was doing Afternoon Tea, but only on…read moreTuesdays, so I took a day off work to go. Yes, I like Afternoon Tea that much. Though I've been to their main (and larger) location by the Winter Park Library, this was my first time at this location. It is a lot smaller so I would recommend getting reservations no matter when you are coming. The inside was decorated in much the same way and I was excited that we were seated in one of the starry alcoves. I had already reserved the Afternoon Tea so it was all set up for us. We were given the tea menu as well as the regular menu in case we wanted anything else. There were a few teas to choose from so I picked English Breakfast. While it was a tea bag, I was pleased it was Rishi, a more premium brand. Our 3-tier tea tray came out and it looked fabulous! The 3 sandwiches were egg salad, chicken salad, and pimento cheese, and they were all delicious. The scones were fantastic as well and were served with raspberry Jane and a mascarpone cream, which was very close to clotted cream. The top tier had bon bons, petit fours and fruit tarts. It was very filling. For the top layer, I ordered a mint tea and it paired really well. I don't know if this location will keep doing Afternoon Tea or if they will still only do it on Tuesdays but I highly recommend it!

The inside of the restaurant was cute. I really enjoyed the live stream of the cows grazing in the fields. The rustic vibe fit the brand great. It only took a short while to get our food. My cuban was great. The bread was nicely toasted. The meat was extremely juicy on the sandwich. My friend enjoyed the taste of her burger. We both thought the fries had nice crispiness. There were several families enjoying lunch inside while we were in here. I saw they had a brunch menu and think in my next visit I want to experience the chicken and waffles I keep hearing about.

But I had an urge to find some fried chicken that is lightly battered and this place hit the spot. Located just off of Park Avenue and Fairbanks is The Hen & Hog. Got a 6 piece fried chicken anf a few sides which consisted of mac and cheese, fries and a pickled slaw. Juicy freshly fried and ever so gently battered chicken that was crisp with every bite. Definitely some tasty chicken. I really liked the slaw that had garlic onions celery and some other items but it cut through the savoriness of the chicken. Yes, i ate all of it to the bone. Wife also got chicken and waffles which she thoroughly enjoyed. Also had fried banana peppers with a pimento spread. Pretty nice combination. Staff was super helpful. They also have wings with a lot of great sauces to try. That will be my order for next time. Cant wait to come back.

My wife loves the mozzarella sticks and we can't usually agree on a pie so we each get our own not a bad thing This go around we went with a Rustica and Caprese.

My girls and I were in Orlando for a day trip and stopped by F&D Woodfired Italian Kitchen…read morespecifically for the Fig & Prosciutto Neapolitan-style pizza. I love that their pizza dough and pasta are made in-house daily, the pizzas are cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven, and they use authentic Italian ingredients alongside locally sourced products. We ordered the Fig & Prosciutto pizza ($18), Cacio e Pepe ($18), and Mushroom Pappardelle ($17.50). The Cacio e Pepe was overwhelmingly salty, even for the style of dish, and I'd skip it. The Mushroom Pappardelle had a nice earthy, comforting flavor but was a bit dry. The Fig & Prosciutto pizza was easily our favorite. The sweet and savory combination was delicious, though the fig flavor was stronger and sweeter than expected, and we definitely experienced a little flavor fatigue toward the end. On a Wednesday afternoon, the atmosphere was quiet and cozy. There was one woman managing the front of house, from hosting to running food, and she was incredibly kind and welcoming.

We visited this restaurant for the Orlando Magical Dining special to celebrate my mother's…read morebirthday, and unfortunately the experience was far from magical. The menu was extremely limited -- only three appetizers, two of which were salads, and the third (brussels sprouts) wasn't even available. The entrées and desserts were also limited to three options each. For a $60 per‑person dining event, we expected a memorable meal, but the service was slow and the wait between courses was unusually long. We also weren't informed ahead of time that parties larger than six are automatically charged an added tip percentage. The atmosphere and interior were beautiful, but the food itself didn't match the price or the occasion. My chicken entrée was shockingly small -- essentially the size of a single chicken wing -- served with six small red potatoes in sauce. It didn't feel like a $60 dish in any way. Overall, the experience was disappointing, especially considering it was meant to be a special birthday dinner for my mom. This isn't meant to be harsh, just honest feedback. I truly hope management takes this seriously and improves both the menu and the service for future Magical Dining guests.

We had a wonderful visit to The Chapman in Winter Park for $60 Magical Dining!…read moreFood Highlights: The warm, pull-apart rolls served with whipped, seasoned butter were the perfect start to the meal. The wedge salad topped with crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes, avocado, and blue cheese was beautifully presented and crisp. The seared salmon served over a flavorful bed of cooked vegetables with a smooth sauce was cooked to perfection. The lamb chops were equally impressive, rich, and full of flavor. Desserts: We finished with a decadent, smooth crème brûlée topped with fresh berries and a rich, dark chocolate cake accompanied by a sweet berry reduction. Atmosphere & Service: The service throughout the evening was attentive and helpful. While the music inside was a bit on the loud side, the seating arrangements were comfortable and pleasant, making for an overall great dining experience. Definitely recommend stopping by, especially during Magical Dining season!

In the evening it is a bit dark and I prefer a litle more light when eating. We started with the lions mane mushrooms and the lobster flatbread. The mushrooms were nice and hot while a little sweet. The lobster flatbread was crispy and tasty but a little cold. For drinks and cocktails they have a nice interesting list of selections. We had an espresso martini, a drink called positive affect and very interesting cloudstar. The drinks were beautiful and delicious. The descriptions on the menu are very inviting. Positive affect included vodka, cumber, basil, and citrus that was refreshing and a beautiful green color. The cloudstar sounds like it would be really sweet but it was not and was a very good drink. This had a lot going on but mixed together well which included vanilla, banana liqueur, proseco, and you pour passion fruit juice over cotton candy. Dylan our server was very attentive and kind. Entrees were a burger with these huge crispy fries, roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and I think they forgot to add the spinach. We also had the rack of lamb that was flavorful, tender and plated well. The meal presentations were very good. Some of our food could have been served a little hotter. Moving onto desserts we had the butterscotch creme brulee and the chocolate decadence that was like a torte with a very good berry sauce. Both desserts were very good! It was a good evening. I could not finish the rake of lamb so bonus I have lunch for tomorrow.

There were too many seeds/nuts on the peach moscato and the eggplant caprese stack for my taste, but if you love nuts and seeds you'll love it. The entrees and the desserts were OUT OF THIS WORLD THOUGH! We were so full from the appetizer and entree that we thought we wouldn't be able to eat the dessert BUT WE SCARFED IT DOWN LIKE THE SWEET-TOOTHED HUMANS WE ARE. The staff were so so kind and attentive, and they all seemed like a very close knit work family. Our server was super duper informed on everything we asked. Forgive me, I forgot her name but I know it started with an A. Alyssa? Ashley? Alison?

Highly recommend! We sat outside under the market lights and watched the sunset, then the full moon rise. They have three firepits tucked in the landscape just off the patio for a cozy setting. The hours on their page are wrong, and we were so glad. The manager said she would change it. Even if you don't play golf, this is a nice place to enjoy a romantic dinner or quiet dinner with friends. We will definitely be back!
