    Onion rings
    Marni M.

    Spending some time by the hotel's pool, my sister and I decided to grab some drinks and a basket of onion rings. She wasn't a fan of her skinny margarita since it was still too sweet but also very sour. I liked my virgin pina colada since it was well blended and creamy. We were happy with the onion rings since they were thick and crisp. I like it when there's an even portion of onion to batter ratio and especially if they're on the thicker side. Overall, we had a pleasant experience since our waiter was kind and checked in regularly. Unfortunately, the whole pool area including Splendido had to close due to an impending thunder storm so keep an eye out for the weather if you come here!

    Nice poolside bar with pool loungers service. We were able to get food and drinks while sitting in our loungers in the sand by pool. Drinks and food were good as well as the service by the servers. Very convenient for parents sitting poolside while their children play in the pool.

    Turkey club - very good
    Melissa P.

    I stayed at this hotel and ordered the turkey club, which was great. It was a large portion and came with a side (your choice of salad, fruit salad, fries, onion rings). I got the side salad, which was average. Everything tasted fresh and pretty good for a pool restaurant.

    As pool side restaurants go this one meets expectations, an assortment of sandwiches, salads and sides. Service was okay but kind of slow, 30 minutes with a guaranteed 18% gratuity. Ultimately if you're looking for a drink poolside this is fine, but as a sit down restaurant you've got better options.

    I'm so confused. The hours say 8 pm that it closes The pool is packed. They have closed at 6 pm for the past two nights. Most people come to the pool around 5ish after parks and want dinner while the kids swim. So taking my dinner plans off property. The hotel's loss.

    Ordered food and drinks from Splendido on Tuesday afternoon. Not worth going out of your way for, but a fine option when hanging out by the pool. Quality: Splendido is attached to the pool at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. If you are chilling by the water for a while, you are likely to grab something from this bar. I ended up with both a Frozen Pina Colada and a Frozen Mango Daiquiri. Two decent versions of the classic drinks that worked well on a warm day. I was less enthusiastic about the Chicken Splash Nachos we ordered. While the chopped bacon was a fun addition, I found the sour cream had a strange texture and the cheddar cheese sauce a poor substitute for queso or shredded cheese. I also wouldn't recommend the addition of chicken, it was cold and soggy. Quantity: Decent sized drinks, but unsurprisingly light on alcohol. The Chicken Splash Nachos are large and can easily be shared between two or three people. Value: $15 for a Frozen Pina Colada. $15 for a Frozen Mango Daiquiri. $20 for the Chicken Splash Nachos. Ambiance: Splendido is located in the pool area of Universal's Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. It is located in a small hut, just right of the entrance to the pool. They have a tiny bar and some tables surrounding it. However, they also circulate staff around the pool to take orders and deliver drinks wherever you are relaxing. Anywhere you sit you will get nice views of the well-designed pool area, but there are definitely better spots than the actual dining area. Crowd: The dining area was empty, and the pool was quiet on Tuesday afternoon. I imagine during summer months and on the weekends, it gets crazy. Service: Much better than I expected. They had two or three waiters constantly circling the pool to bring out food and drinks. Friendly and fast, they did an excellent job at keeping glasses full. Parking: Self-Parking at the hotel is $28.

    Great service. We ordered from here every day we stayed at the hotel and our cabana boys and girls were working their butts off. The food was good too! The nachos are HUGE. Get the souvenir cup and save money on refills.

    After shopping at the outlets, we were looking for somewhere with good food and a happy hour. We…read moreare so glad we chose The Whiskey. 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!

    When we are on this side of town, we always stop in here and have lunch…read more We arrived on Tuesday around 2:30 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon. 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.

    Let me just say -- I absolutely love American Social!…read more I come here pretty often, and every single time I'm treated incredibly well. The staff is beyond friendly and always welcoming, the food is amazing, and the drinks are just as impressive. Everything is consistently on point. But what really sets American Social apart is the vibe. The energy, the atmosphere, the overall experience -- it's unmatched. It's the kind of place you go to and never want to leave. If you're looking for a bar with great service, great food, and unbeatable vibes, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

    Good Vibes, But a Few Misses…read more We recently visited American Social for brunch and had a mixed experience. The atmosphere was lively and fun...definitely a great spot if you're looking for upbeat brunch energy. We started with the deviled eggs, and those did not disappoint. They were flavorful, well-balanced, and probably the highlight of our meal. For entrées, my husband ordered the brunch burger. The menu didn't list bacon, and even after our server double-checked to confirm it wouldn't come with bacon, the burger still came out topped with it. While mistakes happen, it was frustrating having to wait for the order to be remade while the rest of the table was already eating. I ordered the Fruity Pebbles chicken and waffles for my daughter. It was okay, but definitely on the sweeter side. The chicken itself was coated in cereal and then topped with syrup, which made the whole dish very sweet overall -- just a bit underwhelming for us. On a positive note, the kids' portions were great. The mac and cheese and chicken tenders were both solid and generously portioned. Overall, the food was a bit underwhelming for the price point, but I'd probably give it another try...if only for the Maui Mimosa. That drink alone might bring us back.

    1st Time Dining at Miller's Ale House... Good Choice…read more My family and I dined at this location on Monday 22, 2025. From the moment we walked in. the ambience and the service were excellent. It was the perfect dining experience after a long day of flying. We ordered the following: Mozzarella Sticks Tossed in Parmesan, garlic and oregano served with zesty marinara for dipping. I give this dish (5***** Stars). Fully Loaded Cheese Fries Golden fries loaded with melty cheese, crispy bacon and scallions served with ranch for dipping. This was one of my family favorite appetizers. I give this dish (5***** Stars) Zingers® Hand-breaded chicken tenders, buttermilk-soaked, golden fried, and tossed in mild sauce. The chicken tenders were perfectly cooked, juicy, well flavored, and very good. This was one of my kid's favorite dishes. I give this dish (5***** Stars). Fresh Chicken Wings 24-piece wings (Honey BBQ, Sweet Thai Chili, & Chili Lime Dry Rub. The wings were cooked a little longer as requested, the sauce flavors were very good, but some of the wing pieces were too large. I give this dish (4**** Stars). Boom Boom Shrimp Fried shrimps tossed in spicy boom boom sauce over cabbage slaw, topped with black sesame seeds. Probably the best boom boom shrimps I have ever eaten from a restaurant. The shrimps were medium in size, plentiful, perfectly cooked and sauced. I give this dish (5***** Stars). Classic Cheeseburger Burger with melty cheese, crisp veggies, pickles and fries. I give this burger (4**** Stars) Brunch Burger Juicy beef patty, peppered bacon, fried egg, melty cheese, chili sauce and crispy fries on the side. I give this dish 5***** Stars). Barbecue Baby Back Ribs Slow-roasted baby back ribs, tender to the bone and slathered in sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. I give this dish (5***** Stars). Creamy Lobster & Shrimp Carbonara Lobster & shrimp with bacon, peas, mushrooms & fettuccine in creamy carbonara sauce, served with garlic bread. The pasta was perfectly cooked, but there were too many peas in the dish. There were plenty of shrimps, but only 2 small pieces of lobster. I give this dish (3*** Stars). The food was very good and exceeded our expectations. The kids really enjoyed their first dining experience at Miller's. Our server was top notch, he was prompt, knew the menu well, recommended menu items he thought we would like, and he was very attentive to our needs. A few dishes missed the mark, but overall, we enjoyed the food. Miller's Ale House 5573 S Kirkman Rd, Orlando, FL 32819

    What have you done to the nachos!?! They are terrible! I didn't know "smoked chicken" meant a…read moresweet barbecue flavor. You may want to explain that in the description. The all new nachos are just disgusting. I said no queso so I could have just melted cheese and no corn but I had to pick off so much corn it was atrocious! Why is there corn on there to begin with?! It isn't mentioned that they will literally scrape an entire large ear of corn and melt it into the cheese so it's impossible to avoid. Barely any cheese - so many chips and just the worst chicken and corn that I can't get the taste of out of my mouth. Just awful. What the heck happened to the old school ale house nachos you had years ago that were so good and normal?! This meal totally turned me off of the entire restaurant - it made me sick. I want my money back for suffering through even one bite. So disappointing. There was some "meat" that looked like dog food and some looked like regular chicken. I have no idea what I just had. Might have been chorizo but again - I asked for no queso which is where it described chorizo and corn. Yet it made its way into my meal. You need more descriptors and more options to modify.
