I was at a nearby venue late at night & wanted to get a quick bite before the drive home. Thrive…read morewas open late & looked like good spot for sushi, but I ended up not even getting sushi because the menu was so great for other things! So, we walk in, someone greeted us warmly & got us into a booth. It's dark, comfy & a really chill vibe. There's core halloween decor. really great music playing. different person comes up & gets our drinks order, brings them out pretty quick. They take our food order, and that comes out pretty quick too. Tofu bites, a really great salad, and dan dan noodles. TBH I am glad I got the tofu & salad, because to me the dam dan''s weren't my fave flavor, but the food I got was awesome! They have a really great menu for food & drinks. I got some kind of coconut non-alcoholic concoction, and it was delicious. Then we sat for a bit just to relax, and had to ask for the check - they were content to let us relax and did not pressure us to leave. By then it was at least 10:30. The person from the door who first greeted us & asked if we liked everything, and was excited when we said we loved the place & would be back.

Everything is tapas style and the only thing that wowed us was the shrimp tempura. It was crispy,…read morewith perfectly cooked shrimp, and a delicious sauce! Drinks were on the weaker side and the short rib dumplings (which instantly caught my husband's attention) were nothing to write home about. He also joked after eating them that we could've just grabbed a bag of shrimp gyoza from Trader Joe's The atmosphere was chill, but super dark (we went on a Sunday afternoon and it felt like a Sunday night. We live the natural greenery theme, but the dead plants in the rafters were not giving us a "thriving" vibe. All in all we thought it was good, not great!

I introduced another friend to this unique restaurant and bar. We arrived a little after 6 PM and…read morewere seated promptly by Mel. We chose a little corner table against the wall. We looked over the happy hour menu (good all day on Monday nights and Tuesday through Friday 5-7pm). We ask Mel about the "Bartender's Choice" selection under happy hour drinks. She said the bartender will mix a drink of their preference. The customer cannot choose the alcohol or any mixers as the bartender makes the decisions all by him or herself. Mel asked if we had any allergies or any other issues that might affect the drinks the bartender would like to make. We said we did not and we decided to take on this "choice" experience. Serena was the bartender of the evening and she did an amazing job. She mixed up various concoctions for us throughout the night (we ordered a second round after the first one) and we enjoyed every drink she prepared. The presentation of the drinks were also well done. Serena's cocktails consisted of bourbon, rum, and various ingredients which could include bitters, lemon, agave or other cocktail mixers. She was the bartender extraordinaire of the evening. For food, we ordered the half dozen chicken wings (2 orders since they were so good) and the pizza empanadas to start. The two empanadas had mozzarella cheese stuffed inside and were served with a warm marinara. From the main menu, we ordered the Faroe Island Salmon, which was served on a bad of risotto and tomato butter, with capers. The portion of the salmon was somewhat small for the price of $28, but it and the risotto were cooked perfectly. We ended the night with their signature drink, "Death in the Afternoon" which contains absinthe and is one of my favorite drinks here in Orlando. It was another five star experience and my friend found a new restaurant she now loves. All in all, a great night thanks to the attentiveness and easy-going attitude of Mel, our server, and the exceptional cocktails from the bartender, Serena. Thank you both for a job very well done!

Went to Death in the Afternoon for Happy Hour and it was sooo worth it…read more Got the Raspberry Tom Collin's And a mystery Bar tenders choice! I will definitely come back to try other options on the menu! Great service and gives speakeasy vibes.

I decided to do my last magical dining for 2026 here. I made a reservation through OpenTable. I…read moredecided to sit at the bar since it was open, and tried the Capari cocktail for 15 dollars. It was literally bitter sweet, with the sweetness coming from the fruits, and the bitterness most likely from the liquor. It was still a good and refreshing drink. For the appetizer, I had to try their unique and popular pork belly s'mores. It looked like a dessert, but a sweet and savory dish. The pork belly was braised nicely and tender, with the marshmallow adding the sweetness. The homemade crackers were very nice, and the jalapeno added a nice kick. The main dish was the bourbon chicken. It was nicely tender and had a hint of sweetness from the bourbon. The rice went well with the chicken, and the broccolini was perfectly grilled. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream was a perfect end. Moist and delicious. It was getting full, so I was able to save some and enjoy at home too. The service was attentive with my bartender checking up with me occasionally. They were quite busy, but still friendly. The dining area looked dark and a bit more formal than last time I visited. But still social and relaxing. I didn't get to see the outdoor patio, but it looked nice from the inside. I parked at the UCF/Valencia garage, which was 3 dollars per hour. Sadly, they don't validate parking. I am so happy I ate at the Monroe for my last magical dining. It's been a while since I eaten there, but the food and drinks are still great. I must say the food was definitely high in calories, sugar, and fat, but it was well worth it. It's just that good in a very nice environment. Definitely will come again when I need southern comfort food! Overall: A

We came here for our 2nd magical dining experience for this season and it did not disappoint. We…read moregot seated immediately after briefly taking in the beautiful atmosphere. The server came around and took our orders, promptly brought our water every time our water was low, and checked in on us. I got the Caesar salad, the Mushroom Stroganoff and the bread pudding. All three were delicious. The salad was straightforward and was exactly what I would expect from a Caesar salad, but the stroganoff was the standout. The pasta was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The only thing I could say that would make it even better was if it was a little less salty. The mushrooms really carried through, the sauce was creamy, and the micro greens helped brighten up the brown color palate. The desert, I love bread puddings and this had a modern twist. It was served as a square, crispy on the outside, like it was deep fried, covered with cinnamon sugar, but still soft on the inside. It was almost like a bread pudding crossed with a churro, which I loved. Highly recommend, I will also say, I love all their restaurants.
