I've been going to Aurora for a few years now, primarily for their Happy Hour. It's one of the few…read moredecent happy hours in all of Oviedo, as crazy as that is. They have a few nice craft beers on tap and the most amazing hummus platter ever. So many places give you a tiny dollop of hummus, a few crackers and if you're lucky a few cut up carrots. Not here, you get a giant amount of hummus - you get house made lavash - and you get beautiful baby medium sized carrots and all of that is only $8 on happy hour. The hummus is very flavorful with a tiny kick and the lavash is super crunchy with an amazing seasoning on it that reminds me of "everything bagel seasoning". You'll see two different pictures - these were taken a year or more apart but you can see things have barely changed. You always get the amazing crackers and carrots and a huge amount of hummus. They also have a few great wines by the glass on happy hour, some yummy sliders, and now a pepperoni pizza that looks awesome but I haven't tried yet.

Dined here for the first time with a group of about 12 in the private room. I gotta admit, service…read morewas slow, especially when we were checking out and it was a company dinner so there was only 1 credit card to run which took about 30 mins. Other than that, the food was great. I sampled a few items of the apps that people ordered. From what I can remember, the truffle fries really stood out. For my entree, I got the chopped elk medium cooked. It was fantastic. Very delicious and almost tasted like a really beefy meatloaf. Not gamey at all. The sauce drizzled on it was so savory. I wished there were more mashed potatoes underneath because those were amazing too. It was also a very big portion. Definitely recommend. Would come back again and try something else or even order that again.

In terms of food, I would say that the fries are decently crunchy but plain. The Dubai chocolate is their best dessert and I would stick with their pies or wraps. The mix plate has half of it as chicken and the other as beef. I personally liked the beef better and thought it paired nicely with the garlic sauce. The wrap was also toasted perfectly.

Staff was also friendly- mostly students. We ordered some Benedict's and pancakes to share. My immediate thoughts were that the price to portion ratio was nice and that the food presentation exceeded my expectations. For a college campus (or adjacent) casual breakfast fare, it was great! The quality of the food itself wasn't necessarily the highest. The brisket Benedict consisted of fatty bits and very thin scraps plus the pancake "syrup" was definitely the knock off corn syrup. However, you can hardly complain at these prices, so I won't! Parking was ample as it is located in a plaza. I'd come back if in the area but wouldn't make a special trip.

I had the Johnny Omelet that was filled with bacon that was actually crispy, some other meats and peppers and onions. It was covered in sausage gravy and came with delicious crispy hash browns. Yum! Service was spectacular with refills of coffee and water flowing like mad into even a 3/4 empty glass. Kudos to the staff here for just killing it! I'm normally not a breakfast/diner person, but they place may change my mind.

We really have a great experience every time we come. The restaurant itself is a bit eclectic. It could definitely use some sprucing up and it could use some focus. Is this a bar?

However the meal will be great and they have other Caribbean and Hispanic options than just pure Cuban food.

We live a little farther but my daughter…read morehad to take a test at a nearby high school so we looked at restaurants that had great reviews and found this place. It is actually now a Sally's Diner. We felt so welcomed right away! As we walked through the door several people greeted us and someone told us to pick any table we wanted and she gave us our menus. There were so many great options. But my husband and I both ended up getting a skillet. Food came fairly quickly. It was nice and hot and delicious. You get a choice of bread and our waitress suggested a grilled biscuit (and to pour honey on it) and I loved it! There was a lot of food so I ended up taking leftovers home to enjoy later). I wish I remembered her name, but our waitress was so friendly and attentive to our needs. The diner had a lot of cute decor for Valentine's Day and other nostalgic decor (Elvis Presley and Betty Boop). Everyone greeted us goodbye when we left. We would definitely return!

I asked for a biscuit. Eggs were fine. The home fries and the biscuit tasted the same. Obviously the grill imparted a "flavor" to the home fries and biscuit as both were grilled. This flavor was not good. The crispy bacon was ok. Had black marks on it that I could not u sweat and from cooking. My son's two eggs, half order of biscuits and gravy with bacon he enjoyed. As we were paying I noticed I had ordered the special 7-9 daily for 8.99 but I was charged 10.50. When I asked she said I gave you extra bacon I thought you would want that. At that point I scratched Sally's off the list and will never return. Kinda shady.

Lots of seating here and most days you'll probably find it full of college students as it's just down the street from UCF. I tried a barista special coffee and it was decent.

There's also a drive thru which can be a convenient option. Plenty of seating in here to be able to sit and stay for awhile.

I believe I got him an iced coffee with oat milk and butterscotch flavoring and a double shot of espresso; my coffee was only $5.25!! Normally if I got that same order at Starbucks it would've been like 10 bucks. Before he has a sip of his coffee, I will actually be tasting it because I've never had Foxtail coffee before. I really like the spot in particular they have a drive-through so if I'm in my car or making errands, I can just do the drive-through. The person doing the drive-through and making the coffee is very quick. I've only been waiting about 3 to 5 minutes so far. Just took a sip of my friends coffee that I got him and it tastes amazing. I will definitely be stopping at Foxtail more often. !!

I highly recommend Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant especially if you enjoy wine! One tip I always…read moregive people is to make reservations, as it can get pretty busy. The good thing is there's plenty of free parking, which makes visiting super convenient. I'm a Wine Club member, which is definitely worth it if you go often. Members receive two bottles of wine and two tastings each month, and there are three different membership tiers depending on how much wine you want. The club also comes with a lot of extra perks, which makes the experience even better. My coworker and I recently decided to go for happy hour (Monday-Friday from 3:00-5:30 PM). Since we're both wine club members, we wanted to do our wine tasting before our dinner reservation. I definitely recommend getting there earlier in the afternoon if you plan to taste. We arrived around 2 PM, and the tasting area wasn't packed yet, which made the experience much more enjoyable. If you plan to do the tasting, I suggest setting aside about an hour so you can really enjoy it without feeling rushed. After our tasting, we headed to our table for our reservation and ordered a few items from the happy hour menu while continuing the wine fun. One thing we learned for next time: the sangria flight during happy hour is only $17, and it's perfect for sharing especially after you've already done a full tasting! Overall, Cooper's Hawk is a great spot for gatherings, date nights, or even meeting up with coworkers for happy hour. The atmosphere is lively, the wine selection is great, and the wine club perks make the experience even more fun.

I'd go back again for dinner and try out their brunch sometime.

We ordered a appetizer (the goat cheese croquettes ) very good Our entrees were the Mahi and the Braised short ribs . We love to share . They both did not disappoint.

Lets start with the…read morepositive: The ambiance is like any bar/taver and the locale is nicely decorated with christmas decor to match the season. The service is honestly the only reason I would give this location a positive rating. Our waiter was nice and would refill our drinks without even asking. I also noticed that the executive chef would bring out the food somtimes to other tables and was very nice. The food unfortunately was a miss for me and expensive. A 6oz steak was 25$$ on their menu. I ordered the wings as an appetizer. They came out super fast but they were dry and lacking in sauce. I ordered the Classic burger. It was lacking in flavor as if it had no salt or seasoning on it and the fries were soggy and rubbery at the same time with no flavor. My parter had the chicken (fried) wrap and it was also soggy and lacking flavor. If you are looking for tavern food, just go to ale house around the corner or chickfila for a chicken wrap. I am very disappointed I doubt I will go a third time.
