I've been dying to go to the Wellborn for the longest time. On Saturday afternoon, I stopped by with friends. When you first walk in there's the cutest photo opp underneath the sign. Past it is a gorgeous garden with lots of seating and the Wellborn house. The interior of the house is so aesthetic, with an eclectic-vintage look too it. There's lots of cool art and lighting throughout the home. There's bathrooms even ball pits for photos, which is such a cute whimsical touch. We went to the upstairs bar and it was surprising quiet for a Saturday. The staff was super sweet and we spent a while chatting with them. They even brought out complimentary shots, which was very kind of them. We sat on the patio overlooking the garden while enjoying our drinks. It stayed quite lit so we were able to enjoy ourselves and just hang out I'm so glad I finally came here and can't wait to come back again! read more

The Wellborn is a historic, tucked-away boutique hotel, tapas restaurant, and cocktail bar located near Lake Lucerne in downtown Orlando, Florida. This hidden gem is highly celebrated for its lush, tropical courtyard and its unique setup within a cluster of historic properties, including the Norment-Parry House, which is Orlando's oldest documented residence ( the real estate side of me loves this so much ) Ambiance is gorgeous at night and vibe is very low key. We decided to stop here first to have a cocktail and enjoy some music but for a Friday night it was very boring so we left and went further into downtown for a more fun vibe with good music. I heard Sunday brunch here is amazing so I'll try that and get back to you with an updated review ! read more

Pros- Super cool art-deco, retro hotel. Room was huge, bathroom was massive with a killer tile floor, zero entry walk-in shower and a two person Jacuzzi tub w/jets. That part is cool as hell. Cons- A/C system didn't feel like it kept up, thank god I brought my own fan. Mattress was firm as the parking lot asphalt. Felt like I was sleeping on cold play dough, and they literally leave earplugs by the beds because the freeway is about 30yds away, and also the hotel bar is open til 1am Friday/Saturday nights with people coming and going and music playing playing. So if you're looking for a killer spot to check out for cocktails, and old Florida atmosphere, this it! If you're looking for a great, comfy nights rest...maybe check out a Hampton Inn. read more

Monster in my Meal: it's our second time staying at the wellborn and it did not disappoint. The Restaurant on site is fantastic, we started off with the mimosa flight along with a couple of brunch specials. Notably, the avocado toast, which we added egg and it came out fantastic along with Basque Scrambled Eggs. The atmosphere is purely Florida with the outdoor area surrounded by palm and magnolia trees. This is our go to place when coming to Orlando not to Miss! Btw - there might be a monster in my meal. read more

Tried The Wellborn for the first time this past week for my boss's birthday, and I'm so glad I did! The space is absolutely beautiful full of charm and history, which makes the whole experience feel extra special. Service was great from start to finish. The manager even brought out celebratory shots for us, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. Chef David did an amazing job the meatballs were hands down my favorite! Overall, such a great night. I'll definitely be back, especially to check out brunch. read more

I went to The Wellborn for Sunday brunch and wow, it truly felt like a hidden gem in Orlando. Walking in felt like discovering a magical garden and stumbling upon a beautiful place to start the day. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, which I loved. There's also a cozy fire pit area that seems like it would be perfect in the evening, so I definitely want to come back at night to experience that atmosphere. Inside, the space feels like a charming mansion with multiple living room-style areas where you can relax, play games, watch TV, or just enjoy the ambiance. We ended up sitting outside on the balcony patio, which had lots of seating and a really peaceful vibe. Even the bathroom was aesthetically beautiful, and yes, there's a ball pit in the bathtub! The staff mentioned that the balls are sanitized every day, which made me feel comfortable enough to jump in for a quick photo. Ordering food and drinks is done through an app, but servers still come by to check on you. Our server, Aneesa, was incredibly sweet. Even though she mentioned she was new, she did an amazing job helping us choose our orders and quickly getting answers to any questions we had. Not only Aneesa, but the entire staff was welcoming from the moment we walked in. You could tell they noticed our excitement (probably because it was our first time!) and they made us feel very comfortable. I'll definitely be coming back, next time I'm bringing some friends or maybe a date so we can sit by the fire pit and enjoy the evening atmosphere. read more

Hotel bar in a cute boutique hotel under the 408. It can be a little tricky to find if you are not familiar with the area. Parking can be a little tricky as well out on the street. When we first walked in there was a large group in the bottom so we headed upstairs and grabbed a table. Everything is done via the mobile app, but we did have 2 servers stop to check on us. I asked to get some lime for my water and it never was brought over. We had ordered a round of cocktails, but be aware that if you plan on sitting and chatting keep an eye on your phone since your tab will automatically cash out after 20 minutes. Since we were chatting we didn't notice that and since already cashed out we decided to leave after one drink. The decor is cute, but it is an older building and has a strange odor when you first walk in, but I guess I got used to it since I didn't notice it by the end. read more

I've been wanting to come here for years and I finally made it over. I came with a semi larger party. We got there early and was able to get a larger table upstairs. The first thing I noticed was how large the space was with outdoor seating as well as plenty of indoor seating. The moment you step inside you get the retro feel of the place. It's like going to your grandparents' house in the coziest of ways. Ordering is easy you scan the QR at your table and can keep an open tab. They bring things out made to order as you order them. We got there early enough to take advantage of the happy hour specials for drinks that evening. I got two: the Matcha Martini and the Two Tickets. The martini was creamy and very matcha. It felt like I was drinking a matcha latte. Very dangerous. Haha. The Two Tickets was refreshing and fruity. I nice contrast to the martini. Food is served tapas style so you can share with the group or eat on your own. My main dish was the Brie Grilled Cheese. It was quite filling. The brussel sprouts were a nice mix is tart and creamy with the cheese. I ended my meal with the burnt basque cheesecake. It was sweet enough to satisfy but not an overly sweet dessert. My table also got the charcuterie to share. We all enjoyed our meals and had a nice evening. We opted to park in the parking garage next door with a short walk over. It was raining when we went so we hope to come back when the weather is nicer. P.S. Go into the bathroom on the 2nd floor to get the famous bathtub photo! read more

It's been a bit since I've come by the Wellborn, but it was just as great as I remember! We came for drinks and a light dinner, and the weather was perfect for sitting outside on their big porch. I love the amount of fun, cozy, eclectic seating both indoors and out. My favorite cocktail remains the Best Friend, as I'm a gin gal through and through, but everyone loved their seasonal cocktails as well. We went for the sliders, meatballs, and cucumber salad to split, and they were all tasty! The salad was probably my favorite of the small plates we got. I will admit, I don't always love ordering on the QR codes instead of with a human because I think it makes it less intuitive to ask for extra plates, etc from your server, but it is efficient and allows everyone to order with less confusion! Regardless, I'll be back soon. read more

Service is efficient, drinks are creative and delicious. The food that I have tried both at brunch and late night has been good. I really do like the system of starting your own check and ordering and paying on your phone. It makes the Wellborn a great place to come with a group because it streamlines the ordering, check splitting and paying process. Plus, it makes it much easier when someone wants to leave before the rest of the group. Great atmosphere but lackluster parking options. read more

This place is absolutely stunning and such a great spot to come chill, relax, and just vibe. The atmosphere is beautiful, ethereal, and makes you feel like you are somewhere completely different. That said, I do not really recommend eating here. The food and drinks are very expensive for what they are, and the quality does not always justify the price. The drinks used to be better the first few times I came, but lately they have been inconsistent. Service is also pretty slow and could use more attention. I will still keep coming back for the ambiance alone, but the food and drink quality could definitely improve to match the setting and pricing, I would give it a 3.5. read more

Lucked out this visit to the Wellborn. Found parking very quickly on the street. The weather was just perfect and of course the service was excellent! Sat outside on their second floor deck where you can overlook all the outdoor seating. The vibe was just inviting. Had some seasonal cocktails and shareable snacks. Just a really great way to start off the weekend. Drink Responsibly, Cheers! read more

I went with a friend for the spring event with the butterfly release. It wasn't too crowded and beautiful weather on the courtyard. Service is automated with QR codes on edge table and was very quick the day I went, as well as a fast moving line for the outside drink truck. The food was very good to offset the mimosa flight, but I would have like a little more ham then cheese in the jamon croquettes. Overall great event! read more

Best Happy Hour in Orlando! Drinks and food are amazing. My favorite drink is the Best Friends. Favorite food is definitely the Jamón Croquettes.

The patio has plenty of outside seating with TVs and fans. There is also a huge garden area with seating.

Came here for a friend's party and ordered a double whiskey. What I received genuinely made me wonder if it was even a single. Whatever, I ignored it and moved on. Then I discovered how their QR ordering system works. Apparently, once you order, a 15-minute timer starts. If you don't order something else within those 15 minutes, they automatically close your tab and add 20% gratuity. Here's the problem: I waited almost 10 minutes just to RECEIVE the drink I ordered. So by the time I actually had my drink in my hand, apparently I had about five minutes before their system decided I was done and closed me out with an automatic 20% tip. What kind of system is that? If I order a drink, wait 10 minutes for you to make it, and then spend another 10-15 minutes drinking it, that should not trigger an automatic checkout with 20% gratuity because I committed the grave offense of not ordering another drink fast enough. Maybe there's some operational reason for this system that I'm missing, but from the customer side it feels incredibly predatory. At minimum, a 15-minute auto-close timer with automatic gratuity should be made extremely obvious before someone starts a tab. Two stars because the place itself has a nice atmosphere and I was there for a good time with friends. But next time I come here, it'll be because I'm driving by. read more

I love this place! Food is pretty pricey but their mimosa flight is priced well. It was $25 for a bottle of champagne and 2 juices. We had 4 people share this and it was a good amount. We ordered pineapple and orange juice but were only given pineapple. We told our server and she did immediately correct it, so that's good. We got breakfast food, so nothing too crazy. It was good. Side note their happy hour is 50% off their drinks!! So I would definitely go for that! read more

We had such a wonderful experience at The Wellborn. This place is an absolute gem with a vibe that feels both charming and sophisticated. The tapas were outstanding, every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and perfect for sharing. It is the kind of menu where you want to order several plates and savor each one. The quality and creativity really shine through. The drinks were just as impressive. Whether you are in the mood for something refreshing, bold, or perfectly balanced, their cocktail program delivers. You can tell a lot of care goes into every pour. What truly makes The Wellborn special is how versatile it is. It is perfect during the day for a relaxed gathering and transforms effortlessly into a cozy, intimate spot at night. The ambiance, especially in the outdoor courtyard, is warm, inviting, and incredibly picturesque. If you are looking for a place with excellent small plates, great drinks, and a beautiful atmosphere any time of day, The Wellborn is a must visit. I will absolutely be back. read more

I recently went to their singles event and this place is always a vibe. The ambiance and mood is a 10/10. Loved that there was a DJ and always something to see. If you don't order from a table on the website. Good luck getting service it's going to be a while. They prioritize the mobile orders and you can stand at the front of the line for ages. I didn't order any food but I had a few mocktails which are always delicious. Great for a date night. Be sure to grab a table and order from there. Drink up! read more

The Wellborn is a favorite hangout spot for me and my friends! Such a beautiful big house with upstairs balcony and front patio converted to an all round hangout spot with bars and food options too! There bites are so tasty and the drinks are very well made. My favorite drink to order is 'Best Friends' and it's so pretty with that added lavender! You can even order by WR code at their tables through their website where the orders come straight to you! There's lots of places to sit and stand here and it's first come first serve. They have board games, two bathrooms with fun "ball pits" in the bath pubs, lots of photo opportunities and great music! I highly recommend this spot for anyone one looking to catch up with friends, family (21+) , or even just looking to get out of the house! read more

The Wellborn is very much an indoor/outdoor lounge-not necessarily a restaurant so please keep this in mind when visiting! We went here for a valentines event with a group of 12. The garden/house is beautiful! We were able to pull together chairs outside to all sit together. You order everything through a QR code on your phone which is amazing for large groups! (No worrying about splitting a check!) the drinks were great, the brunch options were delicious!! I didn't have a table to eat on, but I managed. Service was very friendly and efficient! Would recommend for a social gathering! read more

I absolutely am obsessed with the concept of this place. A vamped up, historic house with a beautiful outdoor area used as a lounge/bar is pretty all encompassing. I've come here on nights out to grab a drink and a tapa or two, but it was my first time coming for brunch this past weekend. First of all, you'll find an area that you and your party want to sit and scan the QR code that is on the table. Unfortunately I didn't get a physical menu to take pictures of, but you can scan the QR code I posted to look at their current prices! You'll order through that QR code at the table, and the staff will bring your orders to that specific table. I loved the $25 mimosa flight! It's a bottle of champagne with 2 juices. My friends and I took turns buying the bottle of champagne. I definitely think this was a cheaper option for us versus doing bottomless mimosas anywhere else. My Brioche French Toast was perfection! My favorite parts were the fresh fruit and the mascarpone cream. We also had some Jamon Croquettes that were super duper tiny sized but super delicious (I'm a croqueta chica). My friends got the breakfast Papas Bravas Hash that were excellent! The Avocado Toast looked a little sad comparatively to the other dishes on the table. I would absolutely come back for brunch! What I will not do is come here for tapas on a night out. This was months ago, but I very vividly remember ordering a paella to share with my boyfriend one night here and laughing so hard when it came out and we saw how tiny the paella was. It was still a good paella, but I will for sure never order that again here because it was pricey for the size. Overall, pricey but the aesthetic of the venue, quality of the drinks, and kindness of the staff make it very worth it. If not coming for brunch, I would eat before coming here because you'll most likely spend an arm and a leg on tapas otherwise. read more

Quite an interesting venue. It's like a mansion and surrounding property converted into a bar/restaurant with various hangout spaces. Food offerings are decent but on the "tapas portion" side. Cocktail offerings are good albeit pricey. Beer selection could be expanded. All ordering is done via a smartphone, so don't leave yours in the car or at home. Drink and food delivery to your table is efficient but empty plates could be better bussed. read more

Lovely ambiance and seems to have an extensive cocktail menu, but wasn't impressed with the food.

This has become a quick favorite for happy hours, girls nights, etc. So much space to hangout in, with a variety of spaces, tables, etc. Such a unique theming in each room, and it is all self seating. A lot of great cocktail options, and a couple of solid coffee options for early morning. They also have really great brunch! I wish they had some bar snacks or small plates for the evening. This is not only a super cute location, but really it has a lot of great staff, and the QR codes on the tables make ordering super easy! Love this system for lounge-type seating area. The match latte, by the way, makes me forget about my undying love for espresso martinis, it is so good. read more

The Wellborn is a hidden gem tucked inside a dreamy cottage-style house with a garden patio that feels like a fairytale with cocktails. Spanish style tapas & craft cocktails that taste like vacation? Yes! You can't go wrong with "Two Tickets" or their seasonal "Midsommar Spritz" (don't worry, zero cult vibes for those who saw the movie). Everyone was attentive and welcoming. Shout out to Kayla who gave us amazing service and understood the assignment with our photos and videos! (Sorry if I misspelled your name!) The fried rice paella and burrata-loaded tomato & cucumber salad were so good we almost licked the plate and didn't care if people watched. And yes, those are actual ball pits in the bathrooms.

I always adore the wellborn when I visit. I don't come here enough because the parking is a pain. However, brunch on Sunday was such a vibe. It wasn't packed and we were seated at our reservation time. You order by scanning a QR code and can pay through your phone as well. I love this feature. The decor is elective and vintage. They have so many gems in this place and I enjoy taking in the art and kick knacks. The food and drinks were great. Not a ton of options but we all enjoyed our food. Looking forward to sitting on the patio in the cooler months. Reservations recommended. Service is always relaxed and friendly. read more

It's been a minute since I was last at The Wellborn. I've been plenty of times for happy hour and evening drinks at the House Bar. The cocktails are always festive depending on the season and they really go all out with decor for each holiday. We decided to check out their weekend brunch with the baby and soak up all the fall vibes & gorgeous weather. I'm so happy it's finally starting to cool down enough to enjoy patio dining. They have a beautiful courtyard filled with pumpkins and cute photo-ops for fall. They are also have cooling units throughout the courtyard, keeping the temps very comfortable. The day we went, they were hosting the Collective Corner makers market, so it was fun to shop around at the local vendors. I'm glad to see that they've also expanded their parking options (this was always a challenge in the past) and that the outdoor space is stroller friendly. Upon entering, you feel like you're heading into a secret garden. It's all open seating, and we were able to grab and empty table outside. They only do QR code ordering at the tables which I'm fine with, and the servers run everything to your table. It made ordering quick & easy and I appreciate that you can pay the bill with ApplePay. Pro tip -- Be sure to only scan the QR code where you want your food/drinks delivered because each code is linked specifically to that table. We decided to order their mimosa flight to start which is a pretty good deal. For $25 you get a bottle of bubbly in an ice bucket with your choice of 2 juices and the number of glasses you wish. For food, we chose the brioche French toast ($14) and the shrimp & polenta grits with added fried egg ($19), a side of bacon ($8). The French toast was beautiful and both dishes were very tasty. I will say the portions are pretty small for the price. It was just enough food for us to be satisfied, so if you're super hungry, you'll definitely need to order more dishes than we did. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, and I'll definitely be adding this into the brunch rotation. read more
