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.

Walking up the vibe is beautiful. It feels like all we needed to do was have a bed placed inside the restaurant to take a nap after a delicious meal. This was the best brisket burger I've ever had. Jen was amazing and was on top of making sure we ordered the best food. Top tier service. I'm definitely coming back!

Service was... okay. A bit on the "too relaxed" side, which almost came across as unfriendly. To be fair, I was already in a mood from something personal before I walked in, so maybe that energy carried over, but still worth noting. Food-wise, it was decent--nothing mind-blowing, but good enough that I'd definitely come back when in the area. The loco moco burger was basically an ordinary burger, though the gravy added an interesting twist. Not sure I'd reorder it. I really enjoyed the French toast--the grilled pineapple on top was disappointingly dry, but the syrup helped and overall I'd get that again. The millionaire bacon sounded much more exciting on the menu than it tasted--pretty basic in execution. What I do love is how creative their menu reads; it makes you want to try everything. That's why I feel like I need to come back and sample more dishes to really get the full experience. Cute spot, decent food, and definitely worth a return visit to explore more of their offerings.

I traversed inside to place my order as there didn't seem to be service at that time. The waitress seemed off and kept making me wait while she asked the bar crowd who else wanted a drink. I waited and waited. Finally she took my order. I asked for the nachos and a draught beer. She seemed surprised I ordered food. She kept telling me I needed to order chicken or steak. I indicated that I didn't need those add one and was good with the refried beans listed on the menu. I told her I was sitting on the corner outside. That corner is where I sat, for more than half an hour, gasping for air. I was entertained by the music and some people dancing to the tunes. I really wanted my beer which never came. Finally my nachos arrived. They had a nice presentation but no beans. They were dropped at the table as she sped away. I tried to ask for my beer but she never hesitated long enough nor emerged to check on me. My nachos was more of chips and cheese with a lettuce salad on top. I was thankful for the jalepeno slices and made the best of it. After an hour I went inside to pay. The waitress ignored me again. When I finally got the bill it included the illusion beer that was never served. When I questioned it the waitress got frustrated and handed my ticket to an apologetic younger guy. I don't think wild horses could drag me back to this bar. Maybe if some friends were only willing to come hear the music but not venture inside... it's pretty sad as the music was great!

I never expected this to happen..... on Friday June 28th, 2025 my friends and I were grossed out by guys who I guess never have seen women a day in their life! This man harassed us the entire night, and made sure to go everywhere we went. While talking to our friend that was a regular about it she decided it was best to tell the bartenders, (who did nothing btw). They did nothing, they ignored the situation and kept serving the man drinks. The guy than kept on with harassing and locking in on me and my friends, we decided to leave because nothing was being done about it (keep in mind it's happening right in front of them), the man follows us outside, we get into our vehicle and leave. He follows us all the way to 27 where I had to pull into the police station. That's when he decided not to follow anymore. So I was able to make it back home and safe. No thanks to the bartenders and the facility. The point of this is, the bartenders knew what was going on! And instead of trying to help multiple women they focused more on getting a "good" tip from a creep and allowed him to stay at the bar. They are fully aware of the man because one of the girls told us he was weird. We've spoke to one of them days before about this and she said "if it happens again, let us know" welllllllll you see how that went. Ladies. I don't recommend!

The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and inviting, making it ideal for date nights, celebrations, or simply enjoying a great evening out. The cocktails are truly one of the highlights. I love that they're inspired by Indian flavors and aren't your typical drink menu. Each one is thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and full of unique flavor combinations. The bartenders are knowledgeable and happy to recommend something based on your preferences. The owners and staff are always welcoming, which makes the experience even more memorable. East Orlando doesn't have many places quite like Luminescent, and it's one I find myself recommending again and again.

When I came in they were so sweet to break down the menu for me and let me know their coffee and tea was earlier. I can't wait to come back here again. While it was just a quick stop it was a wonderful first impression. Can't wait to hang out here!
