    Found this place on Google Maps today. They said it's been open for about 6 months. The concept is nice, the restaurant is squeaky clean and the ambience is great, very relaxing. Freddy was our server today, very very attentive and professional. The coffee was a 1/10, credit for being hot. Unsure if it was maybe the quality of the creamer? My coffee was undrinkable. I ordered a meat lovers scrambled eggs with a side of cheesy hash browns and added a pancake. Eggs: Were extremely watery and seemed to be liquid eggs (really? At a bistro?) The meats did not seemed to be sautéed before mixing with the eggs, so they were a bit raw. Hash browns: The shredded hash brown portion that I got was the thinnest I've ever seen, more cheese than potatoes too, very weird. Pancake: It was great, the syrup was served warm which I really like. Sad that the quality of the food isn't there, this could've easily been a great frequent spot for us as it is so close to both home and work!

    Super convenient breakfast/brunch spot right next to endless summer dockside. You can walk there in like 3-5 mins. It's cute diner style setting. Some fun artwork to see while you eat. Our group really liked their food. The highlights were the lemon ricotta pancakes, the breakfast potatoes, and the club sandwich. The loaded potato soup was a bit salty and very small for a bowl. I'd pick something different next time. I'll be back for an easy dining option next visit staying at this hotel.

    Popo's is a breath of fresh air amongst tons of touristy flavorless food joints here in Orlando. The Cubano was absolutely legit. Perfectly pressed and made authentic using both pulled pork and ham. Fries were crispy and hot. Even the pickle had a great spice at the end. The heart and skill of the chef is represented well in the food. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing breakfast/lunch spot, you have found it here at Popo's!

    The best breakfast we had while staying at dockside. Amazing food (a cinnamon roll to die for, city bowl breakfast, lemon ricotta pancakes with crispy turkey bacon, and an order of buttermilk pancakes with sausage for the kids). We also ordered black coffees and some amazing hot coffees (white chocolate mocha, spiced vanilla latte). Attentive service, VERY clean facility. It was enjoyable for the adults and twin toddlers. Highly highly recommend. We forgot to take photos of everything but here are the lemon ricotta pancakes and city bowls.

    Amazing food and great service. Pricing was super reasonable . Will be back. Staff was super friendly and nice

    In the sea of chain restaurants, it's nice to have found a locally owned business that has great food and great service. I would recommend anyone in the area to try it out. The food is great.

    I love wine so I did the wine tasting at Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant. I like that they have…read moresweet, semi-sweet, and variety selections. I opted for the sweet wine because I like more flavor. I tried 8 different wines. They were all good! The bartenders were friendly and knew their wines. They were good at explaining the different flavors and selections. The bar area for wine tasting is first come, first serve, so it was crowded by the time I got there. I suggest getting there early if you want to grab a good spot. They do tastings all day every day so going during the week might be a better option if you want to avoid crowds. I went on a Friday and even though it was crowded, the vibe was nice. This is a great place to chill for a couple of hours and its not expensive. You honestly cant go wrong!!

We have been incredibly loyal patrons over the years, which is why it is disappointing to write this review regarding our experience at the iDrive location. Tonight's service fell far below the standard we have come to expect, particularly on a night that was not busy. The timeline of our meal was highly inconsistent: Service Gaps: We sat with empty glasses for 10+ minutes on two separate occasions. Pacing Issues: Appetizers took roughly 30 minutes to arrive, and our main entrées took an additional 45 minutes. Food Quality: Because of the kitchen and (or) service delays, the entrées had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for an extended period, resulting in one of the dishes in our party arriving at room temperature. While we know Ambassador status doesn't necessarily come with significant perks, it does reflect a long history of brand loyalty. Over the past six months, the service at this specific location has been hit-or-miss, but tonight was a definitive miss. I sincerely hope management addresses these operational issues so the location can return to the high standards we know Cooper's Hawk is capable of.

We arrived around 5pm and we were able to pick where we sat. We sat at one of the booths and Brian was our oh so awesome server. He came over with a smile and a run down of what's good. We started with cocktails, we both ordered The Elderberry, it was perfect & so refreshing. For our entrees, we had both of the burgers on the HH menu, the Small Batch Whiskey and the Small Batch Lassahn. We also ordered The Salmon burger. For sides we had the regular fries and the Parmesan truffle fries. Everything was soooooo good. The beef burgers were seasoned so perfectly, and cooked medium as we requested. Every bite made my taste buds dance. The truffle fries were so good, I almost ordered more. The garlic aioli is a must for dipping your fries in. The Whiskey has lots of seating, tables, booths and bar seating. There's lots of pictures on the walls and tvs. It's a vibe for sure. I'm so glad we had lunch at The Whiskey and will definitely go back the next time we are in Orlando. Thanks Brian for making our experience awesome!

Happy hour was just starting or had started, but there wasn't anything on the happy hour menu that stood out to us. They had the Suncreek Brewery Strawberry ale on tap so I had a couple glasses of that. It's perfect for the summer. It's a very light and very refreshing beer. My husband drank Yuengling. We both end up getting a taster of Bourbon later on. My husband went with the six year Willet And really enjoyed it. He said it definitely got better the more that you drank. I opted for something that I've seen in the stores but haven't purchased yet. I was able to try both the dancing panda eight year as well as the dancing panda 10 year. A cheaper bottle of bourbon but definitely good flavor. The 10 was my favorite. For food, I got an order of the S & S sweet potato fries, which comes with a light caramel drizzle. These fries are cooked perfectly and so delicious. My husband got the garlic Parm wings, and while the crunch was perfect on them.(he ordered them crunchy) -he was not a fan of their garlic Parmesan sauce. It just felt like the garlic, overpowered any of the Parmesan. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and the two bartenders that were working the bar, were excellent and very attentive.

Savory flavor, with a good crips on the outside and a yummy dipping sauce that add a nice tartness. The crab claws were a bit of a let down. I find snow crab to be typically a little sweet and very flavorful! But these were a little on the bland side. The steak was a little over cooked in some pieces. Looks like it was cooked kebab style. Chimichurri was a nice herbal note, though. The view was great, my cocktail was interesting and well-balanced, the ambiance is lovely! I love the design inside. Unfortunately, my service was incredibly slow. I felt a bit forgotten about several times. I am definitely one to understand possibly being in the weeds, but at a certain point, as someone who has also been a server, you may just need to get a manager or ask for help. Still worth it just for the ambiance and a drink. But I would choose dinner elsewhere!

    Why are you WINE-ing so much??…read more Yes, Yes, I've already made a res at Wine Bar George. Stop WINE-ing already. NOTES 1. We dined at Wine Bar George in November 2025. 2. Located at Disney Springs Shopping complex at DisneyWorld. Ample parking available at the various garages on the property; we parked in the Lime garage I believe. Visitors/Guests will have to pass thru a security checkpoint before walking onto Disney property, fyi. 3. Reservation made via Open Table. I made a dinner res as early as possible so I could secure the date and time I wanted. I'd definitely recommend making a res versus doing a walk-up so you won't have to wait long. We had a res on a Friday night, and Disney Springs was packed honestly. 4. I want to give a commendation to DFG Guide (YouTube channel) for always speaking highly of WBG. The constant praise encouraged us to visit on our trip last year. 5. The restaurant is 2 floors, and also has a takeout window for specific items. 6. We checked in slightly early for our res (6:45pm), and the hostess kindly took my number so she could call when the table was ready. We waited about 10-15 minutes before her call came thru. My partner and I were seated on the 2nd floor, which I found to be a bit smaller than expected (that is, until I observed a bar and a private room took up a bit of the space on the 2nd level). The hostess sat us by the window and left us to peruse and menu while we waited for our server. We ordered drinks to start: a glass of Pinot Noir for myself, and my partner ordered an Espresso Martini (thanks to the recommendation of Wright Down Main Street, also a YouTube channel). After watching numerous vlogs from DFB Guide mentioning or profiling WBG, we had an idea of some of the starters we wanted to order. For the appetisers, we shared the fried mac and cheese and the Meatballs, while we chose another shareable, the Skirt Steak platter (served with roasted potatoes, broccolini, and chimichurri sauce ) for our dinner entree. While waiting for the check, we began a debate about which appetiser was superior. I was partial to the meatballs, while he thought the mac and cheese was far superior. And the mac and cheese was good, very good honestly, I just thought the meatballs were better. In case, both were delicious and consumed down to the last morsel. The skirt steak was incredibly good. A generous portion prepared well, while the accompaniments complimented the dish adequately. We finished all of the meat and most of the vegetables, but left some of the potatoes. This dish/portion will easily feed two famished travellers, or two tourists walking around Disney Springs amongst throngs of other tourists. In any case, we loved this dish. side NOTES 1. We were quite full (and also thinking about a visit to Salt and Straw) so we chose to pass on dessert. 2. The table next to us (2 guys and 2 girls ) also chose the Skirt Steak platter to share.......though we did wonder if it was enough food for all four. SERVICE. Very good. Our server, a knowledgeable young man, was very patient while answering our questions about the wine and food menus. Though we didn't see much of him after the food was served, we appreciated his friendly demeanour and knowledge of the menu. BOTTOM LINE Good food, good drinks. A hearty meal that was definitely worth the wait. I can see why AJ from DFG guide is fan of this restaurant. Recommended. We will definitely be back. Reservations recommended.

    Honestly outside of the food I am not sure I would be back, however the food is so tasty and…read moredelicious! We stopped here for my birthday dinner and I had never been but had been recommended it many times. The first thing I noticed is it is very dark and very loud/noisy. Also I noticed it was tight in space so if you are reliant on a wheelchair or stroller it's doable but difficult. The service was lost on us as we really had to flag people down if we needed anything the gentleman who said he was our server spent our whole meal polishing glasses. So that was a miss. The win here though was the food. For three people we got the Mac and cheese bites, hummus appetizer, and the skirt steak to share (advertised for two people but definitely can feed 3!). The whole meal cost around $45 per person and for a meal that delicious and quality was quite a great price! If you are a patient, and don't mind loud chatter as well as a steak lover this is your place!

The margarita wasn't our personal favorite, but that was more of a preference thing and not a reflection of the quality. We began with the burrata and WOW. It felt straight out of Europe. We spent time traveling through southern France and Italy last year, and this dish genuinely reminded us of some of the best restaurants we experienced there. For dinner, we had the filet with peppercorn sauce and the pasta bolognese -- and we basically licked both plates clean. The filet was unbelievable. Honestly better than a steak I had at a long-standing local Michelin restaurant just a few days ago. The pasta was a surprise favorite -- completely homemade from the noodles to the sauce, and absolutely incredible. The only thing we'd skip next time would be the mashed potatoes. We finished with the bread pudding and crème brûlée and... WOW. Both were phenomenal. Also worth noting for anyone with food allergies -- I have a severe mushroom/truffle allergy and felt very comfortable dining here. The staff was knowledgeable and accommodating, which made the experience even better. This has easily become one of our favorite restaurants in Orlando. Christian was an amazing server and made the whole experience feel special -- we truly felt spoiled all night. It was the perfect upscale date night. Highly, highly recommend. Honestly, I'd put this on a must-visit list if you're in Orlando.
