Restaurant #3 in my 2026 Magical Dining tour was this fantastic restaurant. This was my first visit…read moreto The Ravenous Pig and will not be my last. I was unable to make a reservation for this night, but walked in and was seated at the bar immediately. There are two hostess stands at this location. The first stand is at the door next to the Valet Parking stand and is for confirmed reservation seating. You are directed to walk further down the hallway towards the bar area for another separate hostess stand for walk-ins. We were seated at a nice two-top table close to the brewery room. (Note: we noticed a separate table inside the brewery which appeared to accommodate a small group and most likely requires a reservation to be seated there.) Kelly was our server and she was efficient, fun and very knowledgeable of the menu. She answered all of our questions, including explaining the ingredients of some of our selections. Our drink selections consisted of the frozen Getaway Car (vodka, sour cherry and maraschino liqueur) and the Woe Is Me martini (herb-infused Grey Goose with a pickled cherry tomato). The tomato made this martini stand out! The presentation of both drinks was memorable as was the taste of each. For our appetizers, we shared the Gatherer Salad (a zesty combination of baby greens, avocado, pickled beets, radish, goat, cheese and walnut granola with a herb vinaigrette dressing-outstanding!) and the Mushroom and Gruyère Beignets, set off by the pecorino cheese and the truffle aioli sauce. We easily could've had a second round of the beignets, but decided to go ahead and order our second course. For the second course, we shared the Pan Seared Redfish with summer vegetables, and the Steak Frites. The fish was delicate, light and the fennel broth made this dish a winner. The Steak Frites consisted of rubbed prime flat iron steak, garlic aïoli and bordelaise sauce-SO GOOD! The truffle fries were plentiful and, when combined with the sauce, resulted in a perfect accompaniment to this meal. For the final course, we shared the Black Forest Cake and the Peaches & Cream (caramelized puff pastry with peach jam, and mascarpone custard). Both desserts were the explanation points of the evening. At the end of the night, we told Kelly that we loved the combination of the "naughty and nice" pairings for this magical dining experience. (For example, the beignets and the salad, plus the redfish and the steak, allow you to both eat healthy and eat decadent.) A final shout out to the General Manager, Scott, who gave me an excellent tour of the outside beer garden (not occupied due to the rain that evening) and the major beer brewery facility next to it. TV screens are available in the garden, and would be an excellent party place for watching football this Fall. I think I have my next visit to The Ravenous Pig planned in the coming weeks. Great service and great food made this easily a 5-star evening.

We dined at The Ravenous Pig again on our most recent trip to Orlando, and I'm happy to report it's…read morestill every bit as incredible as it was when we first stumbled upon it in 2024. The steak frites are just as magnificent as my boyfriend and I remembered. Have you ever had a food memory? Years ago, my dad made the best steak I've ever had. He passed away when I was a kid, and two summers ago, when I took my first bite of the steak here, my mouth watered... but so did my eyes. It was one of the strangest, most beautiful experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. For a moment, it felt like Dad was sitting at the table with us. To taste something so familiar, something I hadn't experienced in over twenty years, was surreal. That's not a compliment I hand out lightly. So we each had that For this visit, we started with the rock shrimp tacos, and they absolutely did not disappoint. They packed a nice little kick without overwhelming the dish, and we practically inhaled them. Of course, we had to finish the meal the same way we did last time: with churros. Somehow they were even better than we remembered. Crispy, warm, perfectly sweet, exactly the kind of dessert that makes you argue over who gets the last bite. My boyfriend ordered two Old Fashioneds, and I had two Cosmos. Both were delicious and definitely generous on the pour. I was a little concerned when we arrived for our 8:00 p.m. reservation because the place was PACKED for a Thursday night. We ended up waiting a bit past our reservation time. The hostess suggested we grab a drink at the bar, but that area was just as crowded, so we hung out in the lobby instead. The wait ended up being completely worth it because we were seated at the exact table I was secretly hoping for: the most perfect little corner window booth, straight out of a movie scene. It was the ideal setting for our last night of vacation. And then there was our server, Anton. Anton could teach a master class on waiting tables. He was efficient, funny, attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what he was doing. In a world where great service sometimes feels like a lost art, Anton was an absolute delight. The Ravenous Pig delivered once again: phenomenal food, excellent cocktails, memorable service, and one of those meals you'll still be talking about long after you've gone home. We can't wait for our next trip to Orlando and our next visit back.

My friends and I visited Boca on Sunday for a nice bach brunch. We were very excited to try the…read morefood after one of our friends highly recommended this spot for the great ambience, drink selection, and tasty food options. From the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant we were greeted by a very nice older gentleman who ensured we found a seat within minutes. Our server, Matthew, was STELLAR and made us feel right at home. We ordered the lobster wontons and zucchini fries with green goddess sauce to start and WOW how yummy ! Definitely order MORE of the wontons- those are a 5-star starter. I ordered the Crab Benny for my meal and my friends ordered the Steak and Eggs, the braised tacos, and the knife and fork breakfast sandwich. My dish was the perfect portion and quite filling without feeling super heavy. My friend's braised pork tacos with the street corn were perfect. My other girlfriend's order, the breakfast sandwich, was a generous plate and brimming with flavor. However, the steak and eggs entrees fell flat for my other 2 friends. One ordered her steak medium and the meat was overcooked. The other ordered medium rare, and while it certainly looked like it, the steak was entirely too tough to enjoy. I also noticed that the breakfast potatoes were a little hard. We shared our disappointment with Matthew and he did his very best to accommodate us and correct the error. The customer service was amazing, I was very pleased with how they handled the feedback, especially after they comped the two steak meals and took the time to take our critiques seriously. Where the steaks fell flat, our server Matthew and the manager, Alexis, saved the day! Despite that mishap, the entire experience was extremely pleasant and I look forward to returning and giving another entree a shot.

This is the first restaurant I tried for magical dining besides Mordisco (with the help of Yelp!)…read more The ambiance inside looks so nice. It seems more romantic than casual but not a fully romantic place. I had the tomato salad, butchers cut (was an 8 0z flat steak), and the orange vanilla crème brûlée. Our server Emily was so friendly, nice and knowledgeable. She really was such a pleasure to have as our server! The food was so good! I loved the steak and that tomato salad -omg if you love tomatoes-just get it! The vanilla orange crème brûlée I didn't like though. It tasted like egg with a flick of orange. I honestly didn't know if I was gonna like it or not but yea. No thank you. I love creme brûlée normally but I am picky with the flavor of it so that may have had something to do with it. Other than that though, so good!!! I'd definitely come back even without the magical dining. It was a great way to try the place out without fully committing. So happy I got the chance to experience magical dining with them.

We got the chicken sandwich, brussel sprouts, and steak special to share with a cocktail each. The brussel sprouts were not the crispy kind like most restaurant serve but were pretty good considering. The chicken and steak were delicious and drinks were refreshing. I think Hillstone is nice for an occasion but be prepared to spend a good bit for your meal.

Went here for my friends birthday dinner and had a great time!…read more The food is always amazing and our server was fantastic. My only criticism was the lady at the front desk was incredibly rude to our party. We were 1 minute past our reservation time and she made us wait over 40 minutes for the next table to become available. It felt like she was doing it on purpose to us without giving us an estimated time. This was hard because we weren't sure if we were going to be seated soon or if it was going to be awhile and maybe we should pivot to another restaurant. After 40 minutes we were finally seated and the service was much better.

We decided to do the magical dinning option which was $60 pp for an app, entree and desert. Not a bad deal. I started with the Caesar salad, and then the 8oz steak for my main meal. I ordered my steak medium rare plus and it came out perfectly. I try not to over cook my steak when I go to a place that should be able to perfectly cook a steak and luckily here I was not disappointed. I also decided to add the lobster tail with caviar for an extra $20- great choice. For desert we both got the cheese cake and took one home because we were stuffed. We also ordered a calamari app which was great. A lot of places don't include the banana pepper rings anymore and that's our favorite part! For drinks I ordered the salted caramel espresso martini and it was amazing! On the other hand, my husband got the smoked bourbon and he said it was just OK for what it cost so he probably wouldn't get it again. Overall, great date night spot. In comparison to some other steak places I've dined at this has been one of the better experiences.

We made a booking via Open Table for 5 at 7pm and got seated right away. We had a custom decorated table with a sign and a card signed by everyone on the shift. We shared Shrimp Cocktail and Yellowtail Crudo for appetizers. Excellent recommendations by Raymond. My wife and daughter had their Cocktail while the boys and I decided to go with a bottle of Bordeaux red, Château Armens, a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Bordeaux red wine, known for its rich, full-bodied character with dark fruit flavors (plum, black cherry, cassis) and notes of spice, violet, and oak, supported by firm tannins and good acidity. The ladies tried the Seabass and loved it. We had steaks. My Main Filet Mignon medium came out perfect and juicy. We shared some side dishes. We shared a banana frosted with 5 spoons, then Raymond surprised us with 5 glasses of sparkling wine and a visit by his Operating Owner. They made our day! That was how a fine dining room should operate, Raymond.

Once you walk inside, the ambiance is very relaxed with a nice country-style vibe. If you're planning to come here, I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. We had to wait for our table, so it's better to plan ahead. As far as the food, I ordered something that was okay, but honestly, it didn't really blow my mind. The people I was with ordered the chicken sandwich and tomato soup, and they really enjoyed those. Unfortunately, the service was the biggest issue during our visit. I would give the service 2 stars out of 5. It took a very long time for our waitress to come over and take our order. There were also several issues with the drinks. She brought mine but forgot the rest of the party. Later, she brought one more and then forgot another one. She seemed to be all over the place, and eventually we had to ask someone else for one of my kids' drinks. When she finally came back, she explained that they were out of some of the items we had ordered, so one person in our party couldn't get what they originally wanted. After we placed the new order, it also took quite some time for the food to come out. We were there around lunchtime, so I was surprised that the service was moving so slowly. One thing to know is that they currently only have one menu for brunch and dinner which would be helpful for checking the options ahead of time. On the bright side, they do have happy hour, which is always a plus. Overall, I really liked the atmosphere and the location, but the service definitely needs some improvement. This location is right on Park Avenue in Winter Park, so it's a nice area to visit and walk around afterward.

Celebrated both of our birthdays at The Chapman and had such a great experience!…read more We had the shrimp cocktail, chicken meatballs, tableside avocado toast and of course Bloody Marys. The shrimp were HUGE and somehow still perfectly tender, which was impressive for shrimp that size. Everything was delicious, beautifully crafted and you can tell a lot of thought goes into each dish. The chicken meatballs were another favorite. The tableside avocado toast was such a fun touch and Eric did a great job putting it together right at the table. They started us off with a complimentary pour of champagne for our birthdays and surprised us with macarons at the end. Such a nice way to make the celebration feel special. Our server Lillian was kind, attentive and took great care of us. Really enjoyed the food, cocktails, atmosphere and all the little details. Definitely a brunch worth checking out and somewhere we'll be back to!

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.

Great service and great food!…read more My friends and I dined in here to celebrate my friends belated birthday. We made a reservation and got seated in a large booth inside. I ordered a cucumber rain martini and once I received it, I noticed the glass had a chip around the edge, potentially causing glass shards in the cocktail, so I informed my server and she had the bar make me a new cocktail in a new glass. I built my own turkey burger on a lettuce wrap and paired it with sweet potato fries. The turkey burger wasn't too dry, and I paired it with honey mustard. Our server was very sweet and personable and we enjoyed her service! Loved this experience. The parking in this plaza is always a nightmare with how many business there are in the area, but we snagged a parking spot behind the regal!

The chicken nachos and chorizo queso were great starters. I ordered the Ginger margarita based on the raving reviews by my co-workers, even though it was not a special. And, it did not disappoint! Our bartender was fantastic and kept all of our orders straight. The hostess walked us upstairs to our reserved table for 10. The view across the restaurant was grand, but lively atmosphere and the high ceilings contributed to the challenge of carrying on a conversation. I could only talk with those who were seated close by. Shane was our server for the night, engaged with us, and kept the drinks flowing. We ordered a number of Deluxe fajita platters with massive amounts of steak and chicken. Both meats were grilled and seasoned perfectly. Copious amounts of tortillas and the fajita fixins. I really enjoyed the charred jalapeño and mushrooms. I ordered the chicken Al Carbón tacos, and enjoyed the complementary flavors of the smoked onions and the salsa cremosa. With both of these great tasing dishes, I wished I had a larger stomach! NOTES Outside seating is available (for nicer weather) and there's plenty of parking. The only downside of the night? The food took a long time to get to our table.

Believe the reviews this was my worst dining experience ever - terrible service, food isn't worth…read morethe money and safety concerns. We went this Saturday for Magical Dining and a friends birthday and didn't read the reviews prior to making reservations...big mistake. We made a reservation, when we got to the restaurant they said they were waiting for a table to leave, so we waited a little past our time, no problem there, but the table never left so they threw a chair on the end of a 4top, which is normally fine, but the chair was right behind the computer and bar the servers used so it was cramped and constant activity right behind me. Once seated it took 45 minutes, yes, 45 minutes to get water glasses...not even the water, just the glasses. Our server then took our drink order...we ordered a bottle of champagne and it took another 30 minutes to bring that to our table and they do not have any ice buckets so it was just plopped on our table. The server took our order and it took another 50 minutes to get our appetizer. He apologized and just said the kitchen was backed up. Wedge salad was small and the use of Thousand Island dressing on it threw us. While waiting we noticed a person who kept coming in and out of the restaurant...they looked like they potentially worked there, but come to find out they didn't. Earlier in the night, according to the host, they kicked this person out of the restaurant, but they allowed him to continue to come in and out of the restaurant for more than an hour. He would stand by the host stand, then go sit at a table, then walk behind me to play with the restaurants computer. This happened over and over and over and was completely unprofessional. Finally the guy walked over to a table that was occupied but the patron went to the bathroom and left his phone, this person went over and picked up the unattended phone, luckily the patron saw and a loud argument ensued between them. They kicked the guy out again but didn't call the cops, the table next to us were the ones who called the cops. This could have ended really badly and why they didn't address this earlier in the night and allowed it to continue for hours, I will never understand. It was at this time the "manager" if you can call her that came out to see what was going on, she did nothing, the table next to us complained about the wait, their dinner and their safety and when she walked past our table, I proceeded to do the same to which she told me "just try to enjoy it" and walked away. Are you serious? I was baffled. It was evident our server was overwhelmed as well as he was not attentive to our table, had our orders wrong and his attitude was frazzled but I don't blame him given what I saw that night. This place does not care about their patrons safety or their service level. The steaks came out, one of our group upgraded her steak to the 8oz filet and when it came out it looked the same as our 6oz...the server admitted it looked the same and then left the table. The food wasn't good. My steak was overdone, but I didn't sent it back cause it had already been about 2.5 hours to get it. Our meal ended up taking 3 hours and that was asking for our dessert and checks the minute our steaks came out. There are so many good steakhouses in Orlando and specifically in Winter Park that this place is not worth your time, money or your safety to go here. It's clear no one cares about providing a good experience and that comes directly from the top. There is no redeeming quality of this place, go somewhere else unless you want to feel like you're in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares.
