The vibe was dark and romantic, which was perfect for our date night. We ordered the Spinach Rolls for an appetizer and they were delicious. Tender enough to cut with a fork and the crispy bread crumbs added flavor and texture. My husband ordered the fresh fish dish of the evening and it was light and flavorful. It had unique flavors that were delectable. I ordered the Lobster Asparagus Risotto, and it was the best lobster I've had thus far in Orlando. The lobster was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The risotto was creamy and the asparagus tender which was a perfect complement to the lobster. For dessert we ordered the Banana Bread Pudding. The bread pudding was warm and had the texture of a French toast. It was delicious and the whip cream was fresh. The food, service, and ambience were a 10/10. The quality of food is next level and for a fresh/flavorful meal I will always choose The Vineyard.

The restaurant was a little quiet when we arrived and we were greeted right away to a table. The staff were very kind and gave great suggestions. I ordered the gnocchi bolognese and it was very delicious. I had the limoncello spritz requested less sweet which came out perfect. My group also had the fiocchetti appetizer which was a nice balance of cheesy, sweet and salty. It's filled pasta bites of cheese and pear purée with a cream sauce and crumbled prosciutto. For dessert we all shared the chocolate lava cake with extra ice cream. The flavor was exactly what we hoped and it was nicely warm. We are excited to come back!

The server was friendly and knowledgeable, the owner introduced himself and was very pleasant and helpful too. I have a gluten allergy and they are very accommodating. They have a lot of options.

Plenty of each ingredient and dressing! The Chilean sea bass was a great choice to split bc there was plenty for both of us. It is a 6 ounce filet and the sides were mashed potatoes and asparagus. Others should search this place out because it is worth the find, as you can see in the other reviews! That's how I found it! Thank you Yelp!

It was not too pepper forward (which I prefer). I was excited to try this out of the way wine bar, but was a little disappointed that their extensive list is more bottles and not by the glass. Just putting this out there for awareness since I will plan to come in for some food and be able to pair with a bottle of wine to explore the full experience. The staff was very knowledgeable about all of the different wines and helped to select the best glass for what I was in the mood for that evening. The bar was very clean and there is a lot more space then what you see when you first walk in. It was all very clean and modern looking inside. Looking forward to my next trip in.

They have a great patio outside too for those nice Florida nights. The wine list was extensive but the by the glass options were limited to about a dozen or so. I understand they have have 100 open bottles hanging around waiting for someone to order a glass. I assume (and hope) that the by the glass options change frequently. While speaking to staff I was informed of the full food menu that is available after 5 pm. I just had to see how they did with Cacio e pepe and wow I was surprised. This is a basic dish but it was executed perfectly. I certainly will be back again soon to order that again. I would take someone else who would enjoy but while they like Pasta they don't do wine. I did see they have some "mocktail" type drinks but maybe 1 or 2 soda or seltzer options might be nice to allow more people to enjoy.

Fig's Prime was my first visit, and it absolutely makes a strong first impression. Located in…read moreAltamonte Springs, the exterior is grand, parking is easy, and when I arrived there were multiple parties happening at once. It immediately felt like a serious date-night spot--also perfect for client dinners, birthdays, or celebratory gatherings. I went with a group of eight, and across the board, the steaks were the undeniable stars of the night. I got to admire a prime rib, filet mignon, and New York strip at the table--and every single one was cooked perfectly. I ordered the special: a 10 oz filet topped with three jumbo shrimp in a lobster cream sauce, served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The filet itself? Perfect medium rare, exactly as requested. Seasoning was balanced and not overly salty (which is something I often run into elsewhere). The steak alone was excellent. The lobster cream sauce, however, was just okay for me. This is subjective, but I felt it leaned a little too creamy and slightly muted the savory depth of the steak. Personally, I would've preferred something brighter like a chimichurri--or if going the lobster route, perhaps a full lobster tail instead of shrimp to really justify the pairing. The shrimp were fine, but they felt like they were competing with what could have been. The asparagus was my only real food gripe--it was small and limp. Properly cooked, thicker asparagus can be vibrant green with a soft crunch. This missed that mark. We started with beef carpaccio and grilled oysters. The oysters were dressed heavily (almost like a potato-skin style topping with bacon and spinach). Not my preferred preparation, but they were ordered for the table, so I joined in. The ambiance was spot on. Lighting was balanced--not too dim, not too bright. The booths were beautiful. Service was excellent: quick to pre-bus, attentive with water refills, helpful with suggestions, and even brushing crumbs from the tablecloth. Very polished. My one logistical complaint: the restrooms. For a fairly large venue, there's only one locked stall per men's and women's room, which caused small lines and even some crossover between guests. That felt like an oversight for a space built for larger parties. One thing I did miss? Complimentary bread. At this price point, that small touch would've elevated the experience. Dessert, however, redeemed everything. The pistachio gelato was the perfect finishing move--authentic, nutty, and not artificially green. Exactly what I needed after a rich, savory meal. I don't usually gravitate toward high price tags, but this experience felt worth it. I chose the special for perceived value, but next time I'd likely order the filet mignon on its own and let the steak shine without the extra embellishments. Overall, Fig's Prime delivers on atmosphere, service, and steak execution. A strong addition to the Altamonte dining scene--and definitely a place for occasions that call for something elevated.

This has been our go-to restaurant for every celebration, & business event for years (though I…read moredon't always "check in"). After tonight... maybe second string. The food is still delicious, but we were not treated with welcoming arms like we have since they opened. We felt almost unwelcome, & for a special wedding anniversary, it's off-putting. I totally get it that happy hour specials are at the bar. But to make a guest feel like they're lower-class by doing happy hour specials before full-price meals was uncool. (When we were told we could only do happy hour specials at the bar, we thought "OK, we'll enjoy appetizers there first, then move to a table for entrees," but having been made to feel like second-class citizens for doing so made us not even want regular meals.) We enjoyed our time despite the cold shoulder (though Gabby was pleasant. We have decided that we'll no longer eat here for our momentous events. Maybe for an occasional meal, but the "you're just not special" atmosphere we got tonight really changed our thoughts. Sad. It's been a favorite for as long as I remember.

I cannot say enough good things about this space and its owners.

I have been coming to Propagate since we started building our home and have really enjoyed seeing their business flourish over the past few years. They have a loyal customer in me and I cannot wait to see what's next. I digress, the service at The Shade House is stellar, the cocktails are creative, and the vibe is an extension of Propagates but with some added spice. You guys outdid yourselves on this one.

The interior kinda has a hipster-rustic vibe but with more comfortable chairs. Prices seemed reasonable. Service seemed a bit overwheled but again, I think the massive event letting out had something to do with that. I got a cheese board, truffled fries, fried chicken caviar, and a deviled affogato for dessert. My date for the creste di gallo and the olive oil citrus cake. Everything was was very good, with the standout being the fries; I know that truffle essence flavor isn't for everyone but it worked really well for me in the fry sauce. My dates pasta was also very good, the pesto sauce was zesty and complimented it well. And I really like the olive oil cake with mascarpone, super light and perfectly sweet. The very minor issues were that the fried chicken was pretty deeply fried and way harder than expected, which I don't mind but may not be your thing. Devil's food cake at the bottom of the affogato was also not as sweet as I would have liked. Overall a really enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend.
