    This is my second year coming for their Bite30 menu and everything was amazing! Great vibes and soft music, our waiter was super kind and helpful in suggesting drinks to go with the menu.

    Reservations required. The restaurant has a cozy, intimate, romantic I'd say European style vibe- maybe the decor, dimly lit. The first floor has a bar with dining area and patio area. The second floor has a cute covered roof top patio with bar and dining area- which makes it more lively. We sat on the rooftop patio. The service was great as well as the food. The menu is carefully curated and it changes often- we were told it may differ week to week. I think it's a good spot for date or night out with friends.

    This is a very cute place in an unexpected location. Plenty of parking due to the other businesses around it, including a grocery store. Next time I hope to check out the rooftop but even the downstairs bar area was very nice. Staff was excellent, very attentive without feeling hovery, my party ordered burgers, Asian chicken, drinks, key lime pie, and chocolate lace cake. All were good. The smash burgers did arrive pretty undercooked but the waiter was quick to replace them and second round was perfect. They are inKind which is a big plus for me!

    All the employees here were wonderful and knowledgeable. Loved the decor with the light up present door frame and glowing wreath. Nice heaters thoughout the upstairs area. Cool firepit table outside with rooftop views Pretty condensed menu so was expecting that the few times they do have must mean they do them pretty well. Only 6 main plates entrees, 8 apps choices, caviar, cheeses and desserts Got the escargot with a brandy mustard cream sauce that was very tasty but a tad salty and the super tender beef short rib with my favorites purple carrots and divine mashed potatoes The Triangle Martini sample of 3 different gin martinis, no vodka substitutes, in 3 super cute perfectly sized martini glasses came with citrus, lavender and pickle flavors Great place for some delicious food and superb cocktails!

    "Bolognese"

    Probably the worst dinner I've had in Orlando in quite a while. For two people and a nearly empty restaurant, our meal took an hour and 45 min. We both ordered the "bolognese" on the Bite30 menu and could not have been more disappointed. It was a plate of dry spaghetti, basic tomato sauce and two frozen breadsticks that looked altogether like an elementary school lunch. It had no flavor and we barely even touched either of our plates (finished plates below). The service was horrible, the waitress would disappear and then wonder over with one drink or item, menu at a time, eventually . Will never be going back, don't get fooled by the Bite30 menu.

    Run butter pecan ice cream - 15 dollars

    It's been a while since I have visited this place. I decided to come again since I had an Inkind promotion. I made a reservation and came about 15 minutes before my scheduled time. I was still seated outside near the patio. I heard great reviews of the lobster roll (35 dollars), which comes with coleslaw. The roll was nicely sized with a great amount of sweet lobster. It tasted fresh and the bread was soft enough to chew, yet held the lobster very well. For dessert, I took the rum butter pecan ice cream (15 dollars), which had a generous amount of rum blended with the ice cream. The pecans were in the bottom. Such a delicious dessert! My server was very friendly and efficient. I was able to get in and out in little over an hour. The vibes were social, but a bit more quiet outside. There were plenty of outdoor seating, including the rooftop area. Paying was easy using the Inkind app, which have me a 25 off 50 deal. I am so happy I tried Bites and Bubbles again. The food is very good in a nice vibe. Parking was free using the Advant Health garage, and just a short walk away to the restaurant. Definitely I will come back for great upscale food in the Winter Park area. Overall: A

    Just WOW to Bites & Bubbles. What a cozy and inviting setting, friendly staff, all around good ambiance. Now I must say we will be back because we fell in love with the escargot dish! Not your traditional escargot with garlic/wine and a very small amount. The escargot set in a brandy mustard crème sauce with small tender bits of veggies and double the amount of escargot- some lovely sourdough Italian bread. We followed this with a large charcuterie board. Holy cow was it big!! Assortment of delicious cheeses, meats, dips, bread and a little tasty dessert. Quality was amazing all around. I highly recommend checking out Bites & Bubbles.

    The rooftop lounge
    Greg L.

    Absolutely a fun and enjoyable Magical Dining experience! The ambiance was amazing on the rooftop lounge, and the food was perfection. We made our reservation for 8:30pm and we were greeted warmly by "Bubbles" when we arrived. Although I had requested patio seating, we asked if we could "take a peek" at the rooftop lounge area. Bubbles led us up to the second level and stated if a table was available, we could choose to sit there instead. Once we saw the beautiful and spacious setting, we knew this was the place we wanted to spend the evening. As luck would have it, a table was available, and we happily took it. Our server was Jeff, and he made a major contribution to this five-star review (along with the food!) He explained the menu, discussed recommendations, answered our questions and checked on us throughout the evening. He even provided fun banter throughout as we relished our 2-hour plus dining experience. We both ordered the mussels to start and they were beyond amazing. They were plentiful, too. In fact, this appetizer could easily feed two people. The brandy mustard creme sauce was the pinnacle of flavor that made this dish stand out! So glad this selection came with a nice slice of bread to soak up that sauce. For the main course, my friend ordered the lamb shank (which fell off the bone; the cumin tomato sauce gave it a nice kick) and I ordered the beef bourguignon (which was absolutely delicious). We shared our entrees and exclaimed how perfect both dishes were. Each entree was also accompanied by tasty root vegetables and mashed potatoes. We were both pretty full before the dessert came out, but we heard so many people compliment the key lime pie, we had to select it. It was one of the best key lime pies we both have tasted, tart and sweet in a perfect combination. The cookie on top was a nice touch, also. Not to be forgotten, we both ordered The Martini Triangle for our drink selection. It consisted of three miniature gin martinis, each with its own distinctive craft style. The trio included a citrus-forward item, a lavender infused selection and salty pickle brine component that to both of our surprise was really quite good as well as interesting. We left Bites and Bubbles in perfect contentment. Bubbles once again met us at the door, inquired on how the evening went and was the perfect host. We thanked him and Jeff for such an incredible evening and told him we look forward to seeing them again. There are ten more days of Magical Dining to truly experience a magical event, and I highly recommend you make a reservation to acquaint yourself to this dining achievement.

    When the Magical Dining menus came out this past summer, I vetted every single one of them, and Bites & Bubbles easily was in the top six of menus. I had never been before, so I was doubley excited about finally getting to check the place out. Ambiance was very nice. I strode past the cozy, intimate dining room, and went up the stairs to a snazzy little rooftop dining patio. Tables spaced apart to give you plenty of privacy, a nice view out over the Mills 50 area, and a large covered roof to shield you from sun and rain. I really enjoyed the ambiance. Service was excellent. Our guy was incredibly attentive, checked in after we had a few bites, kept the drinks coming, just awesome service. No issues there. Now for the food. The menu looked like a banger, and it Was a banger. Apps Fried Goat Cheese (panko and almond crusted goat cheese, roasted tomatoes, fruit salsa, warm bread). Breading around the goat was impeccable with a very satisfying crunch. The roasted tomato goo on top was very acidic to balance out the very tangy goat. Perfectly paired. Very refined app. Big fan. Escargot (escargot, brandy mustard crème sauce, garlic. escargot... our way). Hands down the most snails I have ever seen in an escargot dish. Very generous! The creme sauce was wonderfully garlicky and was excellent to sop up with the bread on the table. The decorative shells were also a really fun way to eat with your eyes first. Mains Seafood Diablo (homemade squid ink pappardelle pasta, shrimp, bay scallops, mussels, spicy tomato garlic sauce, bread). Wow, these were some wide noodles! At least an inch wide. Very fun. Huge shrimp were cooked well, plentiful bay scallops, well cooked mussels, and a bonus clam I wasn't expecting. The sauce was zingy, but not too spicy, just delicious, so don't worry, if you're afraid of spicy. Duck Confit (confit duck leg & thigh, country stuffing, duck gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry relish). Thanksgiving dinner, but with a major upgrade at the protein position. Fall off the bone duck, chunky, flavorful stuffing, great mash, and a just-sweet-enough relish to really make this plate pure nostalgia. Desserts Key Lime Pie (traditional key lime pie, whipped cream). A great KLP. Not too tart, and not too sweet, so I suspect that real Key Limes were used. A nice little crust with some bite. A real winner. Tiramisu (espresso lady fingers, sweet & creamy mascarpone, cocoa powder). This was mostly good. The lady fingers were soaked to the point where they were just too soft to barely notice. Sweetness and cocoa powered flavors. Good, not excellent, but probably still way better than the generic fudge cake. Overall, this was my second Magical Dining restaurant of the season, and it is so far winning the competition for best meal. I was really surprised, and I will be coming back for more!

    Pros: Bites & Bubbles participated in Magical Dining Month this year, and I love that. I always go to as many participating restaurants as I can, to support those to support our city. Ambiance was gorgeous. We sat on the roof, overlooking Mills 50 on a gorgeous summer night. Very comfortable chairs, too. Service was perfect. He was very attentive and kept the drinks coming. The food also came out at a steady pace. Food was amazing. Six stars. Everything was cooked well, the portions were hearty, and the items were unique. Cons: Not a single con. All the wasted years beforehand of not coming here is the only con I can see. Tips: Get the Magical Dining. Get the goat cheese, the duck leg, and the Key lime pie. Amazing, amazing dishes.

    Chocolate cake
    Stephany S.

    One word: wow. We had a wow-worthy dinner at Bites and Bubbles. We came for Magical Dining, shared a reasonably priced bottle of cabernet, and enjoyed a delicious meal on their spacious covered outdoor patio. I started with the escargot, but this was no ordinary preparation. It came smothered in a creamy mustard sauce and the portion was absolutely generous. For dinner, I chose the duck confit. The meat slid right off the bone and reminded me of a Thanksgiving feast, only elevated to something far more refined. It was served with mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. I will be thinking about that dish for a long time. To finish, I had the chocolate cake. Two slices, a cherry on top, and just the right amount of indulgence to complete the evening. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. Do yourself a favor and go. You will have a wonderful evening filled with wonderful food and great service.

    Lamb Shank
    Justin C.

    Wow, considering the season Bites & Bubbles certainly impresses. From the moment we walked in, the decor and even the food was Halloween/Fall themed. We sat on the 2nd floor which is entirely outside and lucky for us it did not rain. The Magical Dining menu was amazing: Escargot - unique take with savory sauce and scrumptious bread to pair. Fried Goat Cheese - cool presentation with really tasty fruit salsa. The goat cheese was rich with flavor. Lamb shank - lamb that melted off the bone paired with a very classic fall themed carrots and green beans + delicious mashed potatoes. Duck Confit - reminded me of Thanksgiving meals with the country stuffing, duck gravy, cranberry relish. Tiramisu - very good mascarpone Chocolate Fudge Cake - definitely recommend this it was huge. The double layer cake was paired with a very candy corn on the side and a "bloody" sauce. Very delish! The service was amazing, super attentive. The pacing of the food was also great.

    I visited Bites & Bubbles during Magical Dining with a friend, and overall it was a very different and interesting experience. We made reservations, so seating was quick with no wait. Parking is in a nearby garage, just a short walk away, which was convenient. We sat at a high-top indoors, though the restaurant also offers outdoor seating. The atmosphere felt relaxed, more catered to an older crowd, with a laid-back vibe. We started with cocktails I had the BB OnlyFans and my friend had the Mai Tai in Paradise. Both drinks were excellent: creative, well-balanced, and enjoyable. For an appetizer, we tried the smoked fish dip, but it lacked flavor and didn't stand out. For entrées, my friend ordered the Seafood Diablo and I went with the Beef Bourguignon. Both dishes were unique but fell a bit short on flavor and presentation more of an "experience" than a memorable meal. Dessert was the highlight of the evening. The Key Lime Pie and Chocolate Fudge Cake were both solid choices and a nice way to end on a sweet note. Overall, Bites & Bubbles offered a unique dining experience with great cocktails and desserts, but the main courses didn't quite meet expectations.

    At what days/time is happy hour? Thanks!

    I was concerned that it would end up closing due to operations similar to the Funky Monkey but was surprised at how well the restaurant is doing.

    May give this one a try soon, how does it compare to the owners prior joint, The Funky Monkey?

    its small and personal like before but very updated. It has a great bar now that runs the length of the room. The menu is great.

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.

Don't order an espresso martini with reposado because it'll cost about $35. The servers are always on point and I feel are knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks. Thankfully, one of them warned me about the espresso martini cost so I dodged that bullet. I love the wine options and there's so many amazing ones to try. Same for the menu, lots of variety and you really can't go wrong.

When I made the reservation I requested a scenic ambiance spot which they had the perfect table for me and my server Erin surprised me with a complimentary glass of bubbles, I assume the prosecco which was such a treat being to start off my birthday lunch! I had some main goals of YES and I NEED, which was a nice bottle of wine, those gorgeous blue and white printed plates, the blue crab cannoli, and the ousters. All of which I received in the best presentation possible. The team at Lorelei even made my lunch ever so special by serving everything on those plates along with enhancing my blue crab cannoli with caviar on the top instead of the regular fish eggs that are placed which I was just full of joy and happiness seeing how special they surprised and customized my dishes for me! The bottle of Sauvignon blanc also a perfectly complimented my oysters as well as the cannolis. Overall, Lorelei did not disappoint me and met all of my expectations and desires with the perfect birthday lunch with my favorite besties! I can't wait to come back again for some small bites and tapas or even experience the wine tasting events they hold!

    I was only here for a glass of wine, but they had a cacio y pepe on the menu we had to try. It…read morecame out hot and fresh cooked and was super delicious. 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.

As you walk in there's a large bar with a decent amount of seating, and to the right a mix of tables. Take on the limited outdoor seating at your own risk during Florida's storm season. I started with the Sunshine State cocktail. The gin cocktail was a little more lime forward than I prefer, but I'm still a fan! To follow it, I tried the Negroni Bianco. It was on the sweeter side and had a lot of floral flavor. The Bruschette Caprese has so much flavor, I couldn't get place if the tomatoes were marinated, but I loved it! For dinner I couldn't resist the house special, mustard spaghettini. It was creamy, and mustard marinated noodles the perfect balance. As you'd expect with the setting and price point, the service was professional and attentive.

Joey was our server and he was great. My guest was not as adventurous as me, so he got the meatball app which I tried and was excellent. I had the carpaccio and crudo, both excellent. I had the local lager on tap. We each had a personal pizza, I got the spicy selection and it was spicy enough. I loved the petite red peppers on the pizza. Overall it was perfect for our meeting and I would go again while in the neighborhood.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed my Italian Starters (you pick 2, the eggplant being a solid choice - the artichokes more of an "also ran") and then my "light as air" pappardelle in a barely-there lemon cream sauce and a few prawns. To round it out, the always popular (I'm assuming) pot de creme, which featured a sprinkling of salt to go with such delectable sweet. And, lo and behold, they serve my beloved Sangue di Giuda here - buono! Our server, Teaya, was very friendly and although our meal took a bit longer than expected to come out, I appreciated the presentation and the fact that Vinia was almost fully-packed by the time we left. There are several dining options in this area and one or two new restaurants to do battle with Pepe's or Jam Hot Chicken. But Vinia is something else entirely. Strong European vibes, simple decor, delicious food, and lovely servers. Bite3(8) is the perfect time to come and check Vinia out for yourself. Grazie!
