    Nuri pizza - you can order and have delivered
    Dana S.

    I love that there is another option to Mather's in the same building. It's hard to compare to Mather's because that place is sheer perfection and few places come close to the vibe there. With that said, I like that there is a place to extend happy hour from 7-9 after the 4-7 at Mather's. The drinks average $15 and they are excellent, so this is quite the deal. The bartenders (and owner / manager) are super nice and will make most off menu cocktails too (at full price). They even the ingredients for one of my favorites which is rarely available. There is an auto-gratuity in the entire building and they make this clear, so it's no surprise. And, the canned mocktails were great and buzzy too! The vibe is interesting. It reminded me of a 60s furniture store but with a stage. Again, no comparison to Mather's and not as polished. We didn't stay for the music as we had heard the musician at Mather's was incredible. A confusing part to these establishments is that they have 2 different drink menus with only a couple crossovers but the same owner. So if you like something at one place, they may not have it at the other. More consistency would be helpful in all the drink options. What made me super happy was the Nuri Pizza delivery! You order from the QR code which is easy and you can keep ordering throughout the night. Not all tables have the QR so they need to find you when they come. I can see this getting confusing if there are a lot of hungry people there (and someone could potentially swoop in on your order). The pizza was SO good that we ordered an extra to take home. It's very thin crispy crust. We had the mushroom and the pepperoni. Would I go again? Yes, if I was in the building or looking for a great happy hour or pizza with ambiance and great drinks. I likely wouldn't 'go just to go' though. There are other places with a better vibe downtown for me.

    Wednesday evening visit for the first time. 2nd floor to a beautifully decorated space with plenty of seating. The drink menu is not as extensive as upstairs at Mathers but bartenders are more mixologists so expect expertly crafted cocktails. They have a limited happy hour for their featured cocktails too

    This might be my new Happy Hour go-to in downtown Orlando! The Phoenix is located underneath of Mather's, another great Orlando cocktail bar. The Phoenix has a large interior with lots of seating and a stage for live jazz music! My favorite part was their Happy Hour, which is 7-10 PM every night 50% off cocktails, even Friday and Saturday. My espresso martini was less than $8, including tip! I will definitely be back the next time I want to hear some live music in downtown Orlando.

    This is the old Aloha bar. Now located within Matthers. It was spacious and nice jazz music playing but j had hoped the live music would have started earlier. Jazz is appreciated ( in my opinion) to an older demographic so, I think it would serve them well to start earlier.

    Had planned to visit Mathers on the 3rd floor, but they had this new location open on the 2nd floor and stopped in. They offer a happy hour from 7p-10p so it was nice to see an option for happy hour. There was lots of seating available and there is a stage so I'm sure they will book musicians at some point to make for a good date spot. The mixologists at the bar were very friendly and knowledgeable about the speciality drinks they offered. They do have other bar items so if none of the speciality drinks caught your eye they can make other items. I tried the Passion Fruit martini that was very light and refreshing. So if you missed the Mather's happy hour stop in at The Phoenix for a drink and check it out!

    As soon as you walk in to this place you get your ID checked and you will go to the 2nd floor. I came on a Saturday night and there was no cover. The music was amazing all jazz and the band was super talented. I didn't get a drink at this place but I loved the atmosphere and I will definitely come back to this place to try the drinks.

My…read moreaunt traveled from Ohio and was especially excited because she had been to Al Capone's several times over the years and had wonderful memories of it. Unfortunately, what we experienced was nothing like what she remembered. Our reservation showed a 7:00 PM start, so we arrived at 6:30 as requested. From the beginning, everything was disorganized. We weren't told where the entrance was and ended up at the back of the line. Once inside, we waited in another line for drinks. Then there was no clear direction for seating. An employee eventually took our party of five to a four-top before another server said it wouldn't work and moved us. Once seated, someone asked what salad dressing we wanted even though we hadn't received menus. I finally had to ask, "Do we get menus?" The menu listed Italian wedding soup, which I ordered. I was told they might have run out after serving VIP guests, but then I was simply brought minestrone. When I questioned it, the server acted like I was mistaken and said the wedding soup must have been on their "winter menu." He picked up the menu to check and discovered it DID list Italian wedding soup. This was September 6 in Florida. If you're out of something, just tell the customer instead of making them feel like they read the menu incorrectly. The appetizer arrived quickly but was cold. Then came dinner. I cannot emphasize this enough: this was honestly the worst food I have ever eaten in my life. That is the God's honest truth. I've had meals I didn't like, but I cannot remember ever having an entire meal this unpleasant. Nearly everything with sauce was overwhelmingly spicy. It wasn't one dish. The food as a whole was terrible. When you're paying for a "dinner show," DINNER is a major part of what you're paying for. By the time dinner arrived, our drinks were empty. No one offered refills. No water and no additional napkins. I eventually GOT UP MYSELF, asked for a pitcher of water, brought it back and refilled everyone's water. I also had to get our own napkins. This wasn't just our table. Tables throughout the room had stacks of dirty dishes while dessert was being served. Guests had empty drinks and dirty plates everywhere. It was chaotic. We were told they expected around 60 guests but received 129 reservations. I understand being short staffed, but if you cannot properly serve 129 people, don't accept 129 reservations. Cap the reservations. Being short staffed explains slower service. It doesn't excuse this level of disorganization. When the server told us we could move to the stadium seating for the show, I explained that I had to get our own water and napkins because nobody was taking care of us. He asked how everything else was. We told him honestly that it wasn't good and we wouldn't be back. After explaining the problems with the food and service, his response was: "If the food was so bad, then why are you taking it home?" Yes, we asked for to-go boxes because we had paid for the food. We ultimately threw it away. His response came across as rude and defensive. An offer to get a manager would have been much more appropriate. He encouraged us to stay because the show was better, but we were done. We purchased tickets for a DINNER SHOW. Instead, we endured a terrible dinner and terrible service and were then supposed to hope the show made up for it. We left approximately 1 1/2 hours early. This was supposed to be an engagement celebration. My aunt came from Ohio excited to share a place she had loved with us. Instead, all five of us left disappointed. Even the souvenir photo added to the frustration. We waited about 15 minutes to see it, and my eyes were closed. After everything else, I asked if they could at least give us the newspaper-style photo without the additional $20 charge. We had already spent approximately $149 and were leaving 1 1/2 hours early. I was simply told no. There wasn't even an offer to ask a manager. What bothered me almost as much as the food was the complete lack of concern or effort to make anything right. I understand staffing problems, bad nights and running out of menu items. Any ONE of these things could have been overlooked. But this wasn't one thing. The entire experience was disorganized from arrival to departure: confusing entrance and seating, no menus until we asked, cold appetizer, unavailable menu items, the worst food I have personally ever eaten, empty drinks, no refills, no napkins, getting our own water, dirty dishes everywhere, a defensive response when we complained, no manager and leaving 1 1/2 hours early. My aunt had wonderful memories of Al Capone's, which is why we chose it. Sadly, none of us have any desire to return. We expected a fun dinner show and memorable engagement celebration. It was definitely memorable, but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

    Atmosphere/music - Five stars Food/Drinks - Zero stars…read more Service - 3 stars Live bands with good music on the first floor. We ended up in the second floor because we wanted food. No view unless you have a railing table. Service was okay. Seemed annoyed and it was so loud it was hard to communicate. Ordered a burger with a beyond patty substitute. The burger comes with 2 patties. I got ONE SUPER THIN patty even though I had to pay a $4 up charge. There were a half a handful of fries that were cold and I also got the Brussels sprouts. Those were Soaked in oil, hard, and had no flavor. They were awful. Super super disappointing and the prices are way higher than they should be even for a bar on the strip. Shots were flavorful but you barely get anything for the price and it's mostly mixers. Went to level 4 which had a DJ. Super fun, more of the party atmosphere. Great mix of music, fresh air, decent views although the side with good views was blocked off. This was the best part but again, no specialty cocktails. Just regular bar drinks that were extremely overpriced and the bartenders were pretty snotty. I get it's busy but you still have to have some customer service (no it had nothing to do with tipping - I had an open tab and my friend and I tip well). Ended up spending $250 on the burger brussel sprouts and a few drinks for me and my friend. Fun experience but probably wouldnt do it again and if I did would definitelyyyy not eat there. Wish I would've snagged a picture of the menu but I didn't. All the menus on Yelp are outdated. I want to say the burgers were $26 for the cheapest and up and the beyond substitute is four dollars. $30 horrible burger.

Service was great. Our waitress obviously had experience taking photos for people because she had all the right angles. She also gave me three cups of jalapeño because I told her I love spicy. Con: tight space; kinda restrictive. You might share same car as other parties. They replay the same short films. I was actually expecting a real movie of some sort.

The atmosphere is definitely the highlight, and we were really excited to finally experience it since we had tried to dine here on multiple previous visits to Disney World but could never get a reservation. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the anticipation. They were already running behind schedule when we arrived early for our reservation, and we still had to wait at least 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. We were offered a regular table instead of a car, which they apparently offer to walk-ins, but we wanted the full "drive-in experience". Once we saw the inside, I'm glad we passed because the tables in the back looked like small, somewhat run-down patio furniture and would have taken away from what makes this restaurant special. Once seated, the car setup was really cute, but the restaurant itself felt like it could use some better upkeep. Our table and menus were sticky, which was disappointing considering the overall Disney experience you expect. There are two rows of booth style seating in the cars which you share with another party as a party of two. With two adults, the seating felt cramped. The food and service were the bigger letdowns. Service was very slow, and the food was overpriced for what we received. My Grilled Chicken Citrus Salad, which is normally a dish I really enjoy at other restaurants, was particularly disappointing here. Overall, the food just wasn't very good and didn't feel like it justified the price, even with the expected Disney markup. The lunch and dinner menus also feature the same items at the same prices. Another missed opportunity is the on-screen entertainment. Disney has access to so many beloved movies, cartoons, and shorts, yet the clips shown here felt like they could have been much more fun and varied. With such an amazing library of Disney content, it seems like there is so much more they could do with the screen and the drive-in concept. The concept is fantastic, and the car booths are genuinely cute and fun. Unfortunately, the execution just wasn't there for us. After wanting to experience this restaurant for so long, we're glad we finally got to see what it was all about--but based on the slow service, poor upkeep, disappointing food, and high prices, it would be a once-and-done experience for us.
