    Sundae
    Joelle S.

    We came for Magical Dining this week and despite making a reservation on a Thursday evening, it was not very busy. The menu had four choices per course rather then the typical three which was nice and it was a good variety of choices. The mussels were a huge portion and the broth was so good! I was disappointed by my steak frites. The parmesan truffle fries ($3 upgrade) were really good but my steak was a super small portion and not very flavorful at all. The cookie in the sundae was salted and delicious. It was very cold in the restaurant so definitely bring a sweater.

    Easily one of my favorite restaurants in central Florida. Some of the best seafood I've had. Everything tastes fresh. I tried the whole Branzino my first visit and was amazed with how juicy it was. This time around I tried the Cioppino and was not disappointed. The spicy arrabbiata gave it the perfect kick. The food here always seems to exceed expectations and the service is always friendly. The decor, along with the dim lighting, makes for a cozy and intimate setting no matter the size of your party. I will definitely be returning!

    This is our go-to spot for girls night out. And for good reason. Nestled in the middle of Baldwin Park shopping area. This restaurant provides a nice, fine dining environment for us. Girls to chat, eat and drink. They're happy hour. Selections cannot be beat whether it's libations or bites. Service here is super friendly and attentive. They are also very helpful when deciding which menu item to choose. The enthusiasm from the servers hostesses and bartenders regarding their food and drinks is just as intoxicating as their drinks. Between their steak entrees and their seafood entrees, you have your work cut out for choosing what you're going to be munching on at the Osprey. If you're in the area and wanting a great dining every experience at a reasonable price than this place is definitely worth your while.

    It's been a few years since I've dined at The Osprey. I used to come here often, most times because they do a good happy hour, and they still do but I noticed that some things have definitely changed. One of my favorite happy hour items use to be their fish dip. It had this intense smokey flavor and various seasonings like fresh dill and capers. No capers that I could see, the smoky flavor was so subtle that I wondered if it was even smoked at all. It used to come with house made chips and now they've downgraded it to ritz crackers which I have to admit, was a huge let down. I know things are getting more expensive but just charge the extra buck or two for the house made chips, don't give me some cheap crackers from a box. Oysters are still very good, the calamari was still good. A new item on the happy hour menu this time was the grouper sliders and those were just not good I'm sorry to say. The fish tasted dry and it was bland; I literally only took a bite and left the rest. Someone in our party ordered the steak frites and I got to try some of that; very, very good! I would definitely order that again. My favorite thing I have to say were the mussels and frites. I wanted to drink that broth like soup, soooo flavorful! Amazing service! Jacob could not have been more attentive to our needs! And that's one of the reasons I'll keep coming back to the Osprey.... Just take those sliders off the happy hour menu and bring back the house made chips for the dip. Until next time!

    Another great visit to the Osprey! This time I tried the mussels and the smash burger - and of course we came for happy hour! Love that happy hour extends to Saturday. The mussels were actually a big standout and some of the best I've had recently - I'd definitely order again! They came with a side of fries which was a nice touch. The burger was filling and tasty, and I upgraded to the garlic fries. Yum! Can't wait to keep exploring the menu. We weren't rushed and could take our time at dinner, and the vibes are always great for a Saturday!

    This weekend was my first time dinning at the Osprey. Had no expectation going in other than a friend telling me it was good. We had a reservations at 6:10 PM and we noticed that they have a happy hour until 7 PM... and who does not like happy hour! We pretty much ordered most of them and they were very tasty. Unfortunately, I could not try them all due to allergies. I communicated my allergies and Jacob were able to provide recommendations, even went back to the chef to confirm that some were same and even provided me options like veggies (instead of crackers) so I could enjoy the fish dip. I could not taste the slider or the calamari by my friends liked the calamari not the sliders so much. However, everything else was excellent. I ended up also ordering the local fish, which was excellent . And due to my allergies, I couldn't enjoy any desserts on the menu, but Jacob was super accommodating to serve me some ice cream and glad he did. It tasted homemade. The restaurant is at an excellent location. We learned that the first Friday of every month outside they have some vendors which made it great to walk after. The restaurant itself was clean including the bathrooms. Parking was a little bit more challenging, but thankfully, I was able to find something on the street. But this is something not uncommon for the area so not a big deal for me. Overall, a great experience and I will definitely come back!

    We come here occasionally and love the food. This time I had to post a review because our server, Jacob, was amazing. Very attentive and treated us like we were at a 5 star restaurant. Never had an empty drink, he switched out the silverware and was so sweet and professional. Please let home see this because he represents your restaurant well. Tonight they had a special of homemade hotdogs and we got our favorite smash burger. As usual the food was tasty, filling and fresh. But this experience was the best we ever had here. Less salt on the burger would be appreciated.

    Such a letdown unfortunately. It was my pick for Mother's Day. I was swayed by some very glowing reviews, which contributed to my high expectations. Made a reservation for 7 p.m. Arrived a bit early and had to kill some time at the bar, as they were only seating on-time. I ordered an espresso martini, which looked more like a shot than a cocktail. It wasn't great. Not the right consistency. Weak color. Once seated at our table, my party of 3 ordered 2 apps. We all agreed the Ceviche was the most bland we have ever tasted. Served sans lime wedges, which might have helped, but not much. The Crush Puppies were also meh. Rather small portion that appeared to be fried a bit too long. The other cocktail I ordered from their bar menu (grilled cheese and pickle one) was again miniature-looking. Our entrées were a step up from our apps, at least. I was very disappointed that my top pick, the Cioppino, had just sold out. Guess that was a popular dish on Mother's Day. My daughter's Truffle Bucatini had a satisfying flavor. Service was fine. The hostess, however, wasn't all that friendly or helpful. The interior is nicely styled and has an upscale feel with verdant plants tucked here and there. The central bar has an enticing vibe. Overall though, it was an expensive outing that failed to impress us.

    Beautiful restaurant located close to Lake Baldwin. We had reservations for brunch at 11 am. When you walk in you will notice a large bar in the center of the restaurant. They also have an open kitchen where you can view the chefs whipping up your order. The place was pretty empty but had filled up a little bit more by around noon. Prices are steep but the food was high quality and fresh. Our waitress was prompt and attentive to our group of 6. I ordered the wedge salad and a side of poached egg. The egg was perfectly poached. My wedge salad was very tasty and had a large piece of bacon in top with plenty of blue cheese dressing which I loved. It had some caramelized onions which added a bit of sweetness in addition to some raw red onions. I would've preferred more onions but didn't ask for more so that's on me. One of my friends ordered the shrimp and grits with the hot sauce on the side. She was not a fan of the grits saying it lacked flavor and was very buttery. When she added the hot sauce over the top which is how it was intended to be served, it was more palatable for her but she couldn't finish it. Another friend was able to swap the grits for spinach. I'm not sure if there was an extra charge but it was nice that they accommodated her request. For drinks, a few of us ordered the carajillo from the brunch drink menu for $10. It tasted like an espresso martini. I would definitely order it again. Not a lot of breakfast type options for brunch but was a pleasant experience overall.

    Petite Seafood Tower
    Joe S.

    For my 2000th review, I wanted to review one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando (besides Taco Bell, of course). I'll start by saying I felt like an Osprey (seafood eating bird of prey) eating here. Oh what I wouldn't give to fly around the restaurant picking food from every diners' plates and head into the kitchen with my Osprey gang and prey upon every delicious morsel of seafood at this place. On our first trip, we had the petite seafood tower and wow, what a dish. I'd be happy with this and a few cocktails honestly. The Amberjack was also very delicious and a good backup for the Snapper, which they (sadly) ran out of. The second trip was a tasting dinner and it was out of this world amazing. There were 6 of us and the staff at the restaurant was so hospitable and amazing. Our server Alex was outstanding and set all of the wine pairings with the food and she did an amazing job. I wonder if she knows what wine to pair with a Taco Supreme? I bet she does. There were 9 courses spread over almost 3 hours and we all left super full. I won't review each course, but know that each was made with fresh ingredients, creativity, and love. Everything from the charcuterie grazing board to the oysters and scallops to the lobster roll to the tilefish to the steak to the desserts was fabulous. Thanks to Amber who put the whole thing together along with the chefs in the kitchen who came out after to say hi. Also thanks to all the staff who assisted with the delivery and plate clearing. Let's not forget the dishwasher who earned their pay in washing silverware alone! Great restaurant with a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. If that isn't 5 stars, then I don't know what is! Cheers to everyone here! One more thing... finally, the cookie at the end, in a little to-go bag, was delicious and salty. And who doesn't love a Salty Cookie? ;)

    Orange glazed cruller

    We visited the Osprey on Mother's Day and it was a good experience, but not great. In full transparency, it seemed like maybe they were understaffed and the restaurant tables were full the entire time we were there. We arrived at 12:40 for our 1pm reservation and were told to come back at 1pm. Our group of 4 sat at the bar (which was shockingly completely empty). We were seated at 1pm and given menus, but after about 10 minutes we were approached by the manager and asked to move to another table because they needed our table for another party. No big deal - we moved. We were given the cruller for our inconvenience. We ordered shortly after seating but it took about 45 minutes to get the broiled oyster appetizer out (which was only for 2 of the 4 in our party) and another 40 minutes for our meals after that. Some of the food was great - the burger and mahi sandwich. But there were some big misses. My beet salad felt like a side salad. The chicken had no seasoning and some bits were very mushy. The kale was very tough and the goat feta seemed like it had run out. Another person in our party ordered crab cake Benedict and the dish was cold. Our server was busy with many tables the entire time - so we don't blame him for not making it back to our table after the food arrived. We would definitely give them another go, as the elements were all there, but I think it was too busy with too little help - next visit would be on a calmer day. They gave us chocolate chip cookies to go for the experience and I have to say - I don't even like chocolate chip cookies and these were absolutely delicious.

    Went here for a quick happy hour and had the steak frites and it was delicious! The steak was cooked perfect to order. I always have mine well done but not burned or dry. Usually it doesn't come out the way I like it when ordered at other places, but The Osprey knew what they were doing. They are a great selection of happy hour cocktails as well. The space was spacious and they also had both indoor and outdoor seating. I had a puppy with me, so sitting outside was a great option.

    If I could give more stars, I would from the moment we walked in, we were cared for and given five star treatment Cassidy our waitress was amazing. She went over the menu and happy hour specials with Great detail to make sure we got what we wanted. She was attentive, checking on us several times throughout our dining experience, we also were helped by a gentleman named Woody He checked on us a few times and he spent time with us to check on our dining experience not your typical manager check in where they just say how's your food have a great night and he did this for several tables around us. I will be coming back to the Osprey many many times to come.

    There is outdoor seating (not a patio) and dogs are allowed at those tables.

It is located in the Mills 50 district next to Tori Tori (another local FAV). It is truly a nice little getaway spot from the usual hustle and bustle of the Mills 50 bar scene. They have seating indoors and outdoors. Their outdoor patio area is charming and adorned with umbrellas, and the fountain just adds a special touch, as well as masks the typical street sounds of passing cars and passersby. In the cooler months, the patio is just a vibe! The interior is just as charming with "French-inspired" influences, lovely lighting & decor that ties in the European escape this wine bar beautifully embodies. On my first visit, we tried to sit outdoors, but the Florida heat (& bees) had other plans for us. So, we transitioned inside and sat at their bar area. We were immediately greeted by the kindest servers who guided us on their menu selections. My friend and I, with similar wine tastes (we both love our wines DRY like DESERT), both opted for a glass of rosé and YUM! We followed it up with a white selection recommended by our server, and we enjoyed it immensely. Truly ten, ten, tens across the board! We did not eat (which, in all honesty, is okay with me). And based on reviews from various other Yelpers, the consensus SEEMS to be to eat prior to coming to Lorelei. So, I kept that in mind and on my second visit to Lorelei, I decided to just try MORE of their wine selection. On my most recent visit, we did try some light bites. Typically, on all my visits, I usually cap around two glasses of wine, and it's reasonable. They are not the cheapest spot, especially if you add food to your tab, but for the quality, it is worth it (to me as it relates to the wine selection), as I haven't really had a terrible glass of wine there. Maybe on my next visit, I'll try more of their food menu. Beyond that, Lorelei has been a great addition to the Mills 50 District! I am looking forward to how they will grow with the community!

At this time, the restaurant was quiet, but by the time we left the place was packed. It should be noted we left at closing time as we had such a fun and enjoyable experience. Our happiness (and the fact we spent almost seven hours here) was due to our server, Emily B. Although Emily told us she has only been working as a server here for the last two weeks, I think she will have a great run at this location. She has an effervescent personality and was easy to talk to and laugh with, which she displayed to all of her customers. Obviously, we became good friends with her throughout the night. Emily allowed us to have a tasting of various wines to determine which one we would like to select for the evening. We went with the Adelsheim Pinot Noir ($88 a bottle) to start the night. We ordered the Bacon Wrapped Dates (serving of three), the Burrata (a combination of cheese, basil pesto, tomatoes and balsamic dijon vinaigrette on wood grilled ciabatta bread), the Tuna Crudo (seared ahi tuna with cucumbers, pineapple and cilantro) and a board consisting of Spanish style salame and aged Gouda cheese. The board also had roasted almonds and honeycomb, along with the bread. As the night continued, we ordered another bottle of the Pinot Noir and a second helping of the fantastic Burrata. We appreciated the fact that we were not rushed from our table as we were allowed to have a relaxing and enjoyable evening of great conversation. At the end of the night, Emily provided us with a slice of olive oil citrus cake on the house. (What a thoughtful touch!) It was a heavenly ending to the evening and went well with our wine selection. If you are ever at this Winter Park location, I highly recommend you request Emily B.'s section if you are able to do so. As stated above, she made our evening. Thank you, Emily B!

That's quite expensive, even in the Winter Park area. The staff were friendly and attentive, and went above and beyond to give my friend a great birthday. The atmosphere looks like an upscale executive lounge with chillaxin music and artsy paintings that looks like you can buy. I though wonder why the eyes were red out in almost all of the paintings. I enjoyed the food and drinks at this lounge, but found the prices to be pretty high for the portions. It's located next to Jala, a new Indian restaurant that opened. Parking is free, and there is a public parking lot close by. I would come back again with my colleagues if we do want to do light snacks and drinks after work. Overall: B
