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.

For my main, I decided to try something completely different and ordered the Crispy Coconut Tofu with chicken. I had honestly never tried anything like it before so I wasn't really sure what to expect but it was SO oddly good The combination of flavors was different from anything I normally order but I ended up loving it and would definitely get it again! I also tried the Matcha Latte Martini, which was really good too! The service was good and everything came out in a timely manner.

We arrived around 8:15 p.m. and didn't leave until approximately 10:40 p.m. Despite being there for…read morenearly two and a half hours, our order consisted of two appetizers, an order of Brussel sprouts, two desserts, a bottle of spring water, and two virgin mojitos. For a simple meal for two people, the service was unreasonably slow throughout the evening. Our server, Svet, was polite and personable, but friendliness alone could not make up for the delays. The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol. He immediately noticed something was wrong after taking a sip and handed it to me. I tasted it as well and confirmed that it contained alcohol. Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.

The servers for both the tasting and the meal were very friendly and attentive. We actually were told about the membership privileges and decided to sign-up. We were also allowed to bring a celebration cake for a friend's birthday. I definitely recommend this spot and also suggest membership.

The wait staff was very attentive and friendly, there is an attempt to sell you on their wine club, which is a great deal if you're a wine drinker and live near enough that you can take advantage of it every month. However there was no high pressure sales pitch so don't let that put you off. The food came out fast and, with one exception, fresh. My burger tasted amazing, although the bun was very stale to the point where I just pulled the burger apart and ate it without the bun. The carbonara is more an Alfredo than a carbonara but was still very tasty. All in all, a solid place to stop in at and we'll probably try it again someday.

Our server was very nice and made great recommendations. The food came out in a timely manner, was well presented, decent portions, and tasted great. We especially loved the Caesar tartare, lamb shank, apple pie, and cookies.

Because my daughter is enthralled with sharks, we opted to dine at the Sharks Underwater Grill for lupper. As one would likely expect, the food was mediocre and didn't match the price point. My mom and I shared the turkey sliders with French fries. My daughter had a quesadilla, and my son-in-law ordered a burger. The guacamole on our sliders was average and comparable to store bought. Everyone shared the same sentiment regarding the quality of their food. However, the service was top notch. We had a fantastic server. I can't recall his name but he was an older Hispanic gentleman. And the view of the shark tanks was pretty cool. The best meal out of the 5 of us was my grandson's. He enjoyed the kids chicken fingers and French fries. His meal came with an ice cream sundae that was cleverly topped with gummy shark candy. This is a family friendly establishment and there is a very long line of folks who are waiting to dine. We made a reservation so this was extremely beneficial. I mention it is family friendly because we found it very disappointing that a group in the front by the shark tanks had way too many libations and were behaving obnoxiously. It would've been preferred if management asked them to depart because this went on well after they finished their meal. We visited the restrooms prior to departing. Cleanliness was also mediocre. Granted, these restrooms are a high traffic area. Basically, spend the coin if you're a big fan of sharks or want to check out the shark tanks while dining. Otherwise, don't waste your money.

The cocktails were delicious, beautifully prepared, and reasonably priced for the quality and setting. Their current happy-hour drink menu includes $10 cocktails such as the Guava Margarita, Chismosa with Prosecco and passion fruit, Norman's Old Fashioned, The Albatross, and Grey Goose Martinis. They also offer $8 sommelier-selected wines and several $5/7 beers. The food was equally impressive--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Their happy-hour menu includes Blue Crab Beignets with yuzu aioli, Chilled Beef Tenderloin Tataki, Truffle Fries, Fish and Chips, Spinach and Artichoke Dip, Porchetta, oysters on the half shell, and a chef-selected charcuterie board. Everything we tried was tasty, and the happy-hour pricing made it possible to sample several different dishes. We came to celebrate a friend's birthday as a surprise, and overall, we had a wonderful time. However, one part of the experience could have been handled much better. We brought a personal dessert for the celebration, but the manager would not allow us to serve it and came across as unnecessarily rude when explaining the policy. We respect that restaurants may have rules regarding outside food, but no one informed us of this policy when we made the reservation or when we checked in with the dessert. A simple heads-up beforehand--or a kinder, more professional explanation--would have prevented the disappointment. Despite that interaction, the drinks, food, atmosphere, and rest of the experience were very enjoyable. I would still recommend Norman's, especially for its excellent happy-hour menu, but I hope management improves how special-occasion policies are communicated to guests.

There was plenty of food, drinks, dancing, and mingling. The Palm Tree Club staff were great, and the venue was well laid out and worked for this event very well. When we arrived around 7 PM on a weekday for our event, we first grabbed some tables and chairs, went up and ordered some drinks from the bar, and enjoyed some music until our hosts opened the buffet lines to the food including salads, appetizers, sides, and entrees. Some of our group sat on their nice, scenic patios while others were right in the heart of the restaurant near the music and bar. The food was great, and the service moved as quickly as they could with a large group gathered at the bar. There was never a lineup at the restrooms, and other than walking around the bar, it was easy to get around the restaurant during the event. The Palm Tree Club is considered to be an "elevated tropic escape in the heart of Orlando" where you can indulge in fresh flavors, vibrant cocktails, and a chic coastal atmosphere. They serve fresh seafood and vibrant desserts along with other food and drink options. They have world-class music in a large open area that can certainly turn into a party vibe. This restaurant is in the midst of the Pointe Orlando. You can find details on their website: https://liveatthepointeorlando.com/Eat-and-Drink/Palm-Tree-Club-Restaurant. You can find menus, events, make reservations, private event information, and more. The Palm Tree Club is open Sunday through Thursday from 5 PM to 12 Midnight and Friday and Saturday from 5 PM to 2 AM. They have some great specials during the week. They host Girl Dinner Thursdays every Thursday from 5 PM to 10 PM, where for $25, you can get a choice of martini, prosecco, or wine paired with fries and a Caesar salad. They also host Happy Hours every weekday from 4 PM to 7 PM, where they serve half price global snacks and chef's featured selections including specials on all spirits plus select draft beers and wines. It was certainly a great event and a fun place to be!
