    I went to The Grove to celebrate a friend's birthday. First off, I was really surprised how quiet and vacant it was on a Sunday afternoon. The brunch rush was slow, but hopefully it'll pick up. The menu has a great variety, but the true standout was the decor. I loved the classy Miami Deco vibe with the pink, green, and velvet. I actually preferred the appetizers to my meal. The standout was the ceviche!

    I came for the first time for dinner the other night. The restaurant is very spacious and well decorated with a citrus section. Our server was helpful and the menu had a great variety of dishes. The drinks were tasty and pretty and the food came out quickly. The Caesar salad was great and we didn't realize it came with prosciutto. We especially loved the carpaccio and short rib lasagna. The corquettes were more like hush puppies but we still enjoyed them. I will be back.

    I had such an incredible time at The Grove! The atmosphere and decor is so chic! Our bartender was attentive, friendly, and personal. I ordered the orange sunset drink and it was delicious! It tasted like an orange creamsicle! I will definitely be back for dinner!

    Came here for my brother in law's bday. It was a treat! Their new concept is working, from the food, the flavors, the drinks, the brunch vibes. All we're giving . Will certainly be back. And fully recommend. For 5 people who ate and had adult beverages we spent under $150. Say what? Unheard of.

    My wife and I were dedicated fans of Chayote. We absolutely loved the food and the service every time we visited. We hated to see them rebrand, but we were excited to give the new concept a try. Unfortunately, this experience was nothing like what we remembered. The service was subpar. Our server was not very helpful, informative, or engaging. In fact, when he found out we were celebrating my birthday, he told us he was going to make it special. Unfortunately, he did the exact opposite. There was nothing memorable or special about the service, and it honestly felt like we were just another table. The crab dip was bland and lacked flavor. The pork chop, however, was absolutely delicious. The coleslaw was not anything special, but it was not bad either. The lasagna was a huge disappointment. It barely had any meat, and the brisket was just not good. I honestly don't understand all the influencer hype around this dish because it was a complete miss. The real star of the meal was the mac and cheese. I could eat that all day, every day. The aesthetics and atmosphere are still fantastic, and the location is great. Parking can be difficult depending on the day and time. I personally will not be back, but I still think everyone should try it for themselves. I know it's the same chef running the kitchen, but it just doesn't feel or taste like the Chayote that my wife and I became such big fans of.

    We came in for dinner and had a great experience! The restaurant is absolutely stunning with a well curated interior, beautiful decor, and fun seating. To drink, I got the house spritz. They no longer had the first drink I tried to order. The spritz was fruity and refreshing. For my entree, I got the carbonara pizza. The pizza was well presented and had a good ratio of toppings. It was on the saltier side, but I liked it. My boyfriend got the roast chicken with mashed potatoes and enjoyed it. It had a nice skin and the potatoes were super creamy. Overall, the food was solid and the atmosphere was excellent. Service was good. I'm excited to come back and try more.

The food was just as good as I remembered from a few years ago. It can be difficult to find consistency in restaurants these days, so I really appreciate that the quality hasn't changed. It's nice to have a spot like Sourdough to add variety to the rotation of mostly American breakfast spots. I ordered the Sourdough Bread Plate, which is a large portion. Even though it's listed on the lunch menu, I was still able to order it for breakfast. Their bread is incredible, and everything tasted so fresh! The ezme is a wonderful addition to add to the avocado and labneh toasts. I also tried the Turkish coffee, but as someone who doesn't drink black coffee, it wasn't quite for me. I would recommend it mainly to those who enjoy strong, black coffee, though it was a nice touch that it came with a Turkish delight! My only minor critique is that the staff weren't around very much. Our server checked in on us once, and after waiting a bit for someone to bring the check, we eventually just walked up to the counter to pay. Nonetheless, everyone was very friendly!

    This place was so delicious! The sourdough bread was my favorite part, with the crunch of it and…read morethe fluff. The turkish coffee was also strong for how small the cup was, with a little turkish delight to take the edge off. The bacon was beef, which was nice. Overall, the food was delicious. However, the service wasn't the best, there was about 3 customers in the restaurant when I went, but the server left all of us when we had to pay, leaving all of us to stand in a line waiting to pay. For a weekday, that felt a little odd. I think the food definitely makes up for it.

We had the Lava bread and the select two which were the hummus and Muhammara which is a Puree of red peppers, walnuts, garlic, olive oil & pomegranate. $12 My husband ordered the Red Lentil Soup but he wasn't a fan, it tasted like Tomato Bisque. For our entree, I had the Lamb Sis Kebap which I shared with my mom and had enough to take home for lunch the next day. This was a big portion. My husband ordered the fried fish, it came with a big salad and rice. He said the fish needed some seasoning. The prices are reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. We also ordered Turkish coffee and the Kunefe which none of us had ever had and I must say it is my favorite dessert ever! The restaurant looks nicer at night. It has a better ambience. The lighting was super bright. Definitely had a great time and will certainly be back.

We ordered the mixed appetizer and the famous lavas bread. To our surprise we got a flat, deflated pita bread instead. Lavas bread is a signature dish of Bosphorous so I called the waitress and asked why the lavas bread was deflated. Answer: must have a hole. The manager came around so I told him the same and added that I had chosen this place for my birthday and was looking forward to the round and puffy lavas bread but got a pita bread. His answer: some time that happens. Sorry but for a restaurant of this level, they shouldn't let their signature appetizer leave the kitchen if it isn't perfect. End of story. And at least the manager should have cared but didn't. Otherwise, my husband and I shared a mixed grill, my mom had a shrimp dish she liked and they did bring me a dessert with a candle which was nice. If I go back to Bosphorous it won't be this location. Parking was Ok but it was also Wednesday.

    Our order: chicken şiş, lentil soup, appetizer platter…read more The Review: It must be noted that their happy hour includes 50% off cocktails. They might not contain the highest quality of alcohol but...fun girls' night (hehe). We started off with their mixed appetizer platter (can't remember the exact name) which was so worth it for the opportunity to try all of the dips! They are able to modify this platter to make it gluten free, and it turned out so well. The real star of the show was the chicken, which was perfectly seasoned and grilled, I can't get over it. The lentil soup was also good but it didn't come out hot, which was not amazing, so we had to ask for it to be heated. GF people note: the rice contains wheat noodles so it is not GF. However, they told us that the grape leaves, which are filled with rice, are actually gluten-free. The staff were so warm and accommodating, and we loved our experience here. Thanks, Bosphorous!

The bartender was super personable and our server was very attentive. It did feel less intimate and homey than the Winter Park, but the vibe did suit the Lake Nona area. The food was pretty good overall. Loved the mixed appetizer- the dips were fantastic! The Espresso Martini wasn't the best I've have, and was a tad lackluster. The dinner was beautifully plated and flavorful, though the lamb wasn't consistent with the cooking temp I requested. I did appreciate that the environment wasn't too loud and perfect for good conversation. Moreover, I appreciated my experience and do recommend this location (though my preference will remain Winter Park).
