We started with a half order (4 pieces) of beignets, served with marmalade. I really like the Lemonade Blueberry Mimosa. Started with a regular glass then ordered a pitcher. My friend ordered a cold brew latte. Our main dishes were the Smoked Salmon Benedict and Pot Roast Benedict, served with potatoes. The dishes are a good portion. It gets pretty loud in the dining area. They also have a bar and outdoor sitting area. Our waitress was very nice, polite and attentive.

The bites for happy hour are also yummy, the chicken buffalo wontons a must try with there homemade ranch sauce I'm sad they took away the poutine, hopefully they will bring it back. Overall great bar for sports or just to hang out at. The outdoor patio allows doggies and it's always a vibe here. Must try!

I ordered takeout after I got home from my flight. I was put on hold for almost 10 minutes. I was…read moreready to hang up and call again when someone finally picked up the phone and took my order. I was told the order would be ready in 15-20 minutes. When I got there 20 minutes later, the hostess directed me to the bar area to pick up my to-go order. I sat down and waited for the bartender to recognize me. She was cheerful and pleasant. I stated my name and she got my takeout order in minutes. I ordered The Big Dipper (shaved steak, horseradish aioli, melted provolone cheese, crispy onions and Au Jus on the side, served on a very fresh grinder roll). It was delicious! It came with a nice side salad that included tomatoes, red onion, cheese and croutons. I selected bleu cheese for my dressing (placed on the side). I also ordered a Wedge salad for lunch the next day. It was a good size half lettuce head with a sliced boiled egg, bacon bits, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and chunks of bleu cheese. The blue cheese dressing was also on the side. Great meals all-around. It would have been a five-star review if not for the long wait to take my to-go order.

The drinks were great and the food was soo good that we still talk about it days later. He loved the bone marrow. Steak was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. The cake was not my favorite at all. It took way too long to come out and it came out very cold. Not much chocolate flavor, too much salt. It was missing something. We will skip dessert next time.

Two Words . . VERY…read moreRICH I keep forgetting that this restaurant is essentially serving Southern style comfort food in an upscale setting. Southern comfort food as a general rule just doesn't sit well with me anymore and I'm going to be very transparent and bare my soul a little bit here but here goes . . . Ever since being on GLP1's, I've developed a really complicated relationship with comfort food. Foods that are rich, buttery, creamy or fatty now hit me completely differently than they used to. It's almost like my body immediately goes into shutdown mode afterwards. I feel heavy, exhausted and like I've instantly ballooned even if the portions themselves aren't massive. For the longest time I honestly thought it was simply the richness of the food itself but now I realize it's because my digestion just can't process heavier comfort foods the same way anymore. Suddenly... it all makes sense. The food itself here is VERY good. Properly seasoned, well prepared, beautifully presented... absolutely no complaints there whatsoever. I simply have to become more mindful and strategic now with my menu selections no matter WHERE I dine. I chose the Creekstone Farm's NY Strip with the fabulous bone marrow which I KNOW is supposed to be incredibly nutrient rich and good for you... but honestly... it just about put me under afterwards. This dinner happened thanks to Ronnald M. and his sister Teris and it was our pre-opera dinner outing before seeing the fabulous Merry Widow at the Dr. Phillips Center. The Monroe is honestly a very good pre-concert restaurant choice because of both the atmosphere and location... I'm just personally learning that this new GLP1 reality means I can't approach menus the way I used to anymore.

After an array of disappointing failed attempts at a brunch out, I came to first watch and was so…read morepleased that I was attended to and seated immediately. I had come from another restaurant after waiting for some time without being assisted, and was fearing being in the same situation but thankfully I was wrong! The hostess greeted me as soon as I was at the door, promptly sat me at my table and even though the restaurant was almost full, a waiter came to take my order within 5 minutes of sitting. I ordered The Works omelette with a biscuit instead of the toast and the Pineapple Express drink I had ordered previously. Everything came out fresh and delicious and I finished my entire plate. The portions of ham and sausage as well as the mushrooms in they omelette were generous, and the drink was refreshing and not too sweet. The location was full but lively, clean, and service was thankfully very quick!

Even though it was pretty packed, the wait wasn't too bad about 20 minutes and the staff kept things moving at a good pace. I ordered the Strawberry Tres Leches French Toast with over-medium eggs and chicken sausage. Honestly, the French toast didn't really taste like tres leches. It tasted more like regular French toast with strawberries on top. However, the chicken sausage was really good and a nice alternative to the Million Dollar Bacon. Overall, it was a good breakfast experience. If you're looking for solid food and a nice atmosphere, it's definitely a place worth checking out.

And he said it was awesome. I told the waitress what I wanted and she let me know it is the Bacon Combo. Eggs were as ordered, hash browns crispy but not as crispy as the bacon. Oh my. So good. Toast was actually buttered well and I got some strawberry jam to complete the meal. If you are ever on South Orange this is the place for breakfast.

We were served coffee in mugs that didn't appear clean, and our server didn't present very well, which made things feel a bit off. The pancakes were tough and hard to cut, and the French toast was flat and underwhelming. Pricing was fair for what you get, but overall not a spot we'd return to.

This was my first experience at A La Cart and trying Brick and Butter…read more The ambiance was nice. It's colorful and plenty of seating. I was excited to try Brick and Butter. The descriptions and pictures of the sandwiches looked delectable. The man serving us wasn't rude. He just wasn't personable. You order from the iPad and wait for your food to be ready. He said they didn't have any ketchup and I had a side order of curly fries that I wanted to eat the ketchup with. He said that there were sauces that we could get. Each of those sauces costs $2.00. I didn't want to pay that after I just paid for this meal. I ordered the chicken parm sandwich. The sandwich and fries were really good. The chicken was tender. I enjoyed it, until I didn't. Unfortunately, the food left me feeling extremely sick. This is why I rated 1 star.

This is one of the most friendly and welcoming businesses in central Florida, and I absolutely adore them for it. This place is counter order with full table service. I believe before the pandemic that you self served drinks, but the full service change has definitely been for the better. They've got a rotating list of specials that you can see on their instagram too. This place always delivers quality food. Their fried chicken is excellent, I've never seen an overcooked egg, their grits are amazing, their gravies are perfect, their biscuits are to die for, and their Mac n cheese is creamy delicious goodness. I haven't tried their lunch menu myself because I can't bring myself to not order breakfast. Between the Minnie pearl, three little pigs, seventh trimester, their specials, and even their sausage sandwich, nothing on a lunch menu could ever tempt me away. And don't even get me started on their bakery! Their bakery is a separate counter with cakes, cookies, handpies, brownies, and whoopie pies. Their selection is rotating and I've genuinely never been disappointed. Usually I have to take their stuff to go because I'm so full from breakfast, and it's usually pretty rich. This place is an Orlando staple and I hope they're open and successful for as long as they wish to be. I know I'll be back as long as they're still cooking.
