Apple Lounge & Grill has some of the best wings in Polk County. We started with the fried pickle…read morespears, but the real stars are the wings--crispy, saucy, and paired with a house-made dill ranch that doesn't miss. We tried the Mango Wango along with the garlic parmesan/medium buffalo combo, and both were excellent. Wednesday's $1 wing special is hard to beat. Good drinks, plenty of dartboards and pool tables, and an overall fun hangout spot. Only downside is that smoking is allowed inside the lounge. If that's an issue for you, I'd recommend calling your order in and grabbing it to-go. Our sever also addressed us by name and kept up with our drinks for the evening.

In my experience, the management/ owners handle customer conflicts poorly and appear to side with individuals engaging in abusive behavior rather than supporting those affected.

So I am slightly confused. I already did a review for Port 27, I guess this is a new page. To be…read moreclear, Port 27 is a venue which has a brewery with its namesake Port 27. There in lies some of the confusion on my part because my last review I guess was for the brewery and not the venue, but I kinda reviewed it in its entirety. So here I go again. Port 27 is a lakeside destination with iconic views, good eats, a great brewery and eclectic shops. I have been here more times than I can count. It is quite convenient as it is less than a 5 minute drive from my house. And the bike ride isn't bad either on a Sunday when it's not too hot. So I have been here in the evening on the weekend with live music. They host events like runs, and there is even a comedy show. Port 27 is both kid friendly, and pet friendly. There are plenty of places to sit and there is a kind of kids area as well. Most of the major events are hosted on the outside stage. The shops: Antica Trattoria has some of the best pizza in Florida. It is popular and stays packed, yet they get the pizza out pretty quickly. There is a fair amount of seating inside. And, there are places throughout Port 27 to leave your pizza boxes when you are done. Van de Walle has great coffee and awesome desserts and the staff and service are on par with the coffee and desserts. They roast their own beans in house and make all of the desserts in house. You can purchase their coffee and theybwill grind it for you to your preference. Port 27 the brewery is a bit cloistered and on a busy evening or the weekends, the lines can be a little much. But the wait is well worth it because the beer is quite awesome. The servers are passionate about the beer and you can get samples, but when it is super busy you should just jump in to respect the patrons behind you. There are also burgers, tacos, ice cream, arts and crafts, candles and a shop that has vinyl records. Every time I go it is always a new adventure and somehow I never get bored. If you are in Polk County Florida and looking for something to occupy the whole family, Port 27 is a great option. But don't take my word, see it for yourself.

The bartender gave us some pointers and then gave us a minute to decide. A sample or two then decisions were made. The IPA was delicious and my wife got a cocktail that was gone pretty quickly. Use the QR codes to order food. They bring it to you from the various spots around the property. Nachos came first. Ask for two sets of silverware and extra napkins. You will need them. It was really good but really messy. I was hungry when we ordered. Should have waited. The nachos filled us. That bruschetta was taken home and devoured while watching a movie. Great friendly bartender. Nice quiet atmosphere with lots of conversations going on around us. We're coming back when the weather is better.

Although there was a bit of a wait, our service was great and the overall experience was positive. This is a gorgeous restaurant that is very elegant. Our server Tammy was LOVELY - so attentive (even being so busy), great recommendations and really just a delight to have as a server. We all chose a variety of things, but I had the mushroom and truffle ravioli as a starter that was very good. I could tell the pasta was made in house. My boyfriend had the spinach gnocchi that was fantastic!!! I was jealous I didn't order it lol. He got the prime rib, that he said was good. I have the prime filet that was good, but I wish the chimichurri on top had a little bit more flavor. We were bummed we couldn't order the espresso martini tower for my mother in law, but understood it would have been a huge stressor on the bar staff. We did order a few espresso martinis à la carte and they were fantastic! Definitely made with fresh espresso. Lastly, the crème brulee came out flaming and was absolutely the best I've ever had! We were really enjoying ourselves, but I wish I took more photos. We really enjoyed the experience and look forward to coming back for dinner one day!
