The greens were a bit wilted, and the crab threw things off as it was hard to chew. I also got a watermelon margarita--not a very complex profile (very basic). It was decent but did not mask the tequila much, which could be good or bad depending on your preference. Great host and friendly service. I was thrilled to have a seat in their outdoor area, which was brighter and a bit more tranquil than indoors. Overall, a high-quality offering for a hotel restaurant!

Our family of four had dinner at Highball & Harvest last night. This was our third dinner at the…read moreRitz/JW Grande Lakes and possibly one of my least favorite meals. Let's focus on the positives first: the atmosphere is incredibly fun and the live music Saturday night was a perfect touch at the bar. There were plenty of fun activities for the kids and there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids with fried chicken and shrimp, macaroni and cheese, fries, and red velvet cupcakes. $25 is a deal if your child would chow down on shrimp, but it might not be a great deal if your child is usually full after four bites. Our server was absolutely fantastic, friendly and very attentive. We started off the dinner with some fantastic deviled eggs and a lemon cello cocktail. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was really disappointed with the tiny, overcooked shrimp and crawfish that accompanied the slightly bland grits. The shrimp on the kids buffet was at least four times larger than the sad little shrimp in my dish. I think the sausage was cut into smaller chunks just so it wouldn't be so obvious how small the shrimp was. My husband didn't love his heirloom tomato salad and said the Wagyu appetizer was disgusting. Dessert was mediocre. The macarons that accompanied my crème brûlée were stale and chewy. This is a fun spot for a drink and appetizer, but I would skip eating dinner at Highball & Harvest.

There are three different choices for seating. A hightop near the bar, regular tables at the bar, sitting at the bar, or sitting at a regular umbrella table by the pool. I guess that makes four options. I chose a high top. The menus are already on the tables and I was quickly seated and greeted by my waitress who asked what I wanted to drink and I ordered a club soda with lime. Yeah variety of good options for appetizers and meals ranging from a hummus salad to burgers to tacos and three kinds of fries including regular potato fries, sweet potato fries, and yucca fries. I opted for the shrimp tacos with a side of sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were nice and crispy and quite yummy. The tacos were not great but not awful and came with a green sauce that was pretty tasty. The tacos are included in the order so it made for a decent sized meal. I was surprised when I received the check to find out that they had charged me six dollars for my club soda. Every restaurant I have ever been to has never charge me for a club soda. So they not only charged me for it but charged me twice because I got a refill. When I pointed this out to the waitress she said it is categorized as a soda but after some discussion she removed one of the charges. So I still had to pay three dollars for a club soda. If you're in the hotel and looking for some quick bite that are a decent meal or hanging out by the pool this is a worthwhile option.

We split 2 of the set appetizer menu. Came with 9 items in each set. The black bean hummus was delicious! I ordered a starry night cocktail, which was also good!

Overall, I really enjoyed our meal here…read more Just a heads up this place is loud so this is not the restaurant you want to have an intimate conversation. However, it is quite fun, when we got there on a Saturday night, they were having a Taylor Swift look alike performance. I absolutely loved it. It turned out it was happening every hour so we were able to watch her perform twice. They also had someone selling jewelry and an artist painting, overall it is such a fun vibe. If you want a standard table, you need to make a reservation, I made a reservation like 15 minutes before and they only had outdoor seating and high tops available. We chose a high top and it was fine. They do have a kids menu so my son was able to order a cheese pizza with a side of fries and the other one ordered a chicken quesadilla with a side of fruit. On the kids menu it says cheese quesadilla but he really wanted chicken, I was surprised the chicken was a bit spicy. He ate a couple bites and then asked for his own cheese pizza after seeing his brothers. All the plates are meant to be shared so they come out whenever they're ready. My older son's cheese pizza came out immediately and then my younger son's chicken quesadilla came out after all our food had been delivered. I think this is what made him want a cheese pizza because he didn't have his own meal for majority of the time we were eating. When we finally ordered his cheese pizza it then took a long time to come out. I'm guessing it's because it's woodfired and his pizza was behind a ton of other pizzas whereas with my older son we must've ordered at a good time. My absolute favorite dish was the marinated cucumbers. It was a light and delicious. It reminds me of what I find at a Japanese restaurant. I also got the butter chicken, it was OK. I didn't find the chicken super tender so I would skip it next time. We also got the maple glazed chicken wings. I found the breading to be overly salty. I ended up taking off all of the breading and my younger son ate a ton of the chicken. I would skip it next time. We got the steak skewers, which were pretty delicious. Again didn't love it so probably would get something else next time. My husband did not like his ribs so he definitely should skip that next time. So overall, the food was OK, but my kids absolutely destroyed their pizza and I love the atmosphere, which is why I'm giving this place four stars. I see that it has great potential. If parking is a problem, I recommend parking at icon park and walking because it's about five minutes away. Our server was super nice, she was a bit slow, but she also had a giant table next to us, which could've contributed to that. I would definitely come back. I enjoyed our experience here.

My husband and I were…read morehungry and in the mood to try something new, and I'd already seen great Yelp reviews in the past, so we ducked in. The atmosphere is themed, they have a space for live music, and I love the different seating options (bar, high tops, tables, and booths). As a tradition, we always order a handful of things to try at a new place. For appetizers, we ordered the Bangin' Shrimp and the Pulled Pork Tacos - these were IMMEDIATE 10/10s Genuinely still dreaming of both of these. For the entree, I ordered a Shroom n Swiss - it was cooked so well, but I was surprised that the mushroom was the size of the patty versus smaller ones. The service was great, very attentive and quick!

They have a ton of great items and would have loved to spend more time in the shop but it was getting close to last call at their bar and wanted to make sure I tried a drink. The bar itself is quite small, but it packs a bunch with décor. There is so much to see and every time you look a different way, there's something else you didn't see before. When I came, it was really not crowded which is good because like I said, it is small so it was nice to be able to walk around. My friends and I all tried different drinks and they were all really good. The service was fast and efficient. I would definitely check this place out again and recommend. According to other comments, they do change up the drinks so I would love to try something else.

Was in Orlando on business and was pleased to see Taffer's Tavern across the street. I have seen…read morehis show on TV many times, so I surmised that this would be excellent. Inside, the decor is very welcoming and warming. I sat at the bar in some very comfy bar seats. Chatted with the bartender a bit about the signature drinks and decided on the Campfire. This was a take on the popular smoked old fashioned. Instead of the smoke in the drink, it's served beside the drink, hence giving one a sense of sitting by a campfire. The drink was made with brown butter washed bourbon which gave the drink a nice velvety texture. I ordered the double fried wings with traditional hot sauce. It's nice that they come with celery and carrots with the choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing. I was disappointed in the wings because they were far from double fried. They should have been extra, extra crispy and they were just average. Went back the next night and had the Pork Belly Skewers and they were excellent. They had a spicy bulgogi glaze and were cooked perfectly. All in all, a good place. I will go back on my next trip to Orlando.

Went here for a friend's birthday. We were part of a large party and service was good considering…read morethe size of our group. My wife got the steak frites and I got the Italian chop salad. Both were above average when you take into account $30 for the steak and $22 for the salad. This place is expensive. I wasn't drinking, nor was my wife. However, everyone else that did get drinks said they were great. Again, you will wince at the price of $18 for a mixed drink more than likely. I'm a fan of Taffer because he basically invented NFL Sunday Ticket and his show on Spike is fun. I am glad I got to experience going there once. One issue I have a massive problem with is their policy on gratuity for large parties. Mandatory gratuity? Makes sense. Making that mandatory gratuity 20%? Pushing it, but okay. Calculating that mandatory gratuity on the post-tax total? That's greed. I will not be returning based on this alone. They even have the gall to ask for an ADDITIONAL tip after that.

Once I stayed once and appreciated the midcentury design of the place I was hooked. And the Swizzle Lounge was definitely one of the perks. When I was running late, driving north after work from South Florida I had a 1st primary objective, make it in time to grab one martini at Swizzle. I was making ok time but when I got into the lobby I knew I only had 15 minutes to spare. And there was a long line to check in. When I finally checked in I only had minutes left. I walked up the busy evening bar with little to no hope. And yet one of the busy bartenders saw me and said they had last call already, but they would get me for one. Halleluiah. One martini later and I was ready to wander to our room. The Swizzle is retro, brightly lit, and especially friendly. Looking forward to stopping in again soon.
