The bartender, who I believe may have been the owner, was extremely friendly, conversational, and welcoming. He really added to the experience rather than simply making drinks and moving on to the next customer. The cocktails were fantastic, with plenty of creative and specialized options to choose from. The ambiance is definitely one of the highlights. It has that intimate, tucked-away speakeasy feel with eclectic décor, comfortable seating, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. It's a great spot whether you're looking to hang out and have a few drinks or just wind down at the end of the night. This wasn't somewhere we had planned on visiting, which honestly made finding it even better. Between the atmosphere, drinks, and genuinely great hospitality, it was an easy 5/5 experience for us. Absolutely recommend, and I would happily come back!

I had a group of us driving to Orlando for a weekend and we were making good time, so it was perfect to stop short in St Cloud to see what this Black Squirrel Bookstore was all about. I actually let the girls go in and check it out as we had brought our dog. I sat in the car and read a book ironically, why they had some speakeasy fun. well after maybe a half hour i looked up and my gal and another lady were by the car. The other lady said she was the owner and that we could bring our dog Augie inside. It was very kind of her, as it really wasn't expected art such a nice spot. He sat politely under the table, while we enjoyed some fun drinks, a singer that was adding to a nice night. We left after a couple, but for sure will swing by again when we have the time; great spot.

You have to try the self serving wine area. You load a card with X amount of money and swipe when you want to try a wine. It adds up quickly!, but is so much fun ;)

The star of the show here is the wine and beer selections. They have a cool set up where you can try as little it as much of any of their selections as you desire. We aren't up in this area much but will make it a point to visit again when we get the chance.

It is located in the Mills 50 district next to Tori Tori (another local FAV). It is truly a nice little getaway spot from the usual hustle and bustle of the Mills 50 bar scene. They have seating indoors and outdoors. Their outdoor patio area is charming and adorned with umbrellas, and the fountain just adds a special touch, as well as masks the typical street sounds of passing cars and passersby. In the cooler months, the patio is just a vibe! The interior is just as charming with "French-inspired" influences, lovely lighting & decor that ties in the European escape this wine bar beautifully embodies. On my first visit, we tried to sit outdoors, but the Florida heat (& bees) had other plans for us. So, we transitioned inside and sat at their bar area. We were immediately greeted by the kindest servers who guided us on their menu selections. My friend and I, with similar wine tastes (we both love our wines DRY like DESERT), both opted for a glass of rosé and YUM! We followed it up with a white selection recommended by our server, and we enjoyed it immensely. Truly ten, ten, tens across the board! We did not eat (which, in all honesty, is okay with me). And based on reviews from various other Yelpers, the consensus SEEMS to be to eat prior to coming to Lorelei. So, I kept that in mind and on my second visit to Lorelei, I decided to just try MORE of their wine selection. On my most recent visit, we did try some light bites. Typically, on all my visits, I usually cap around two glasses of wine, and it's reasonable. They are not the cheapest spot, especially if you add food to your tab, but for the quality, it is worth it (to me as it relates to the wine selection), as I haven't really had a terrible glass of wine there. Maybe on my next visit, I'll try more of their food menu. Beyond that, Lorelei has been a great addition to the Mills 50 District! I am looking forward to how they will grow with the community!

There were a couple girls taking pics outside when we arrived, so of course I told my parents they needed to do a pic as well. The food menu looked amazing and I will try some bites next time. The bottles of wine were more expensive than expected, but the glasses and beers were very reasonable.

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.

And there are plenty of tables to sit. I think there were some ladies playing the Chinese domino game, it starts with an "m". Got to meet the owner Ray and he picked out a fantastic Cab for me, it was the Story Storypoint Cab out of California. Later I also had the Martin Ray and in my opinion it was not as good, but it was a heavier mouth feel and it had layers to it. They have a piano player Wednesday and Saturday. He shows up around 6pm. So they have free slasa and chips in the back corner most nights. On Tuesday the have tacos. And Tuesday there are meatballs. On Friday they have Karaoke around 7. If you like wine, or you are an enthusiast, this would be a great place to visit if you find yourself in Winter Haven Florida. They have buy one glass 2nd half price. If you buy a bottle and stay, it is a $15 corkage fee. We kind of did the math and depending on the pour, and their pours are generous, it is cheaper to buy by the glass. When you visit they your own math gymnastics. Bottom line, Grape Expectations, the wine is great. The service is exceptionally better. And if you like a mellow vibe with great wine. You won't be disappointed in this stop. Finally, shout out to Terra, between her and Ray we had such a great time. CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!

As a huge wine lover, The Wine Room on Park Avenue is easily one of those places I recommend if you…read morewant to explore a variety of wines without committing to a full glass of something you've never tried. One of my favorite things about The Wine Room is the self-serve concept. You load a card with however much you'd like to spend, then use it at the wine dispensers throughout the space. You can choose your wine and your pour size, which makes it really easy to sample several different varieties at your own pace. They have a large selection, so whether you already know what you like or you're looking to try something completely new, there's plenty to choose from. The staff is also very helpful if you need recommendations. The ambiance is cute and inviting, and they have a food menu with plenty of small bites, including cheese boards, mac and cheese, tacos, sandwiches, flatbreads, and more. I personally don't usually come here for the food--the wine is the main attraction for me--but it's nice to have options to snack on while you're tasting. I recently attended one of their wine and cheese pairing events and really enjoyed the experience. We tasted six different wines, each paired with a different cheese, and I was pleasantly surprised by the portions of cheese we received. They also served baguette on the side, which was a nice touch. It was a fun way to learn a little more about wine and experience different pairings. They host different events throughout the year that you can purchase separate tickets for, so I definitely recommend keeping an eye on their event calendar if you're a wine lover. Overall, The Wine Room is a great Park Avenue spot for a date night, girls' night, or even just an afternoon of wine tasting. If you enjoy wine and like being able to explore at your own pace, this is definitely worth adding to your Orlando list.

I was immediately greeted by the hostess. I explained that it was my first time and she was kind enough to make some menu recommendations. Since it was early we were promptly seating. We took the stairs to our table upstairs. We were seated near a wall and the bar. I waiter promptly came over to greet us. I wanted to try a few things but the brunch menu was sort of limited. I opted for crispy Mac & cheese bites, french toast, and breakfast croissant sandwich. The mac & cheese bites were crispy but could have used a little more seasoning and a little more cheese filling. The French toast was 2 pieces of toast with maple syrup and fruit. I opted to leave the fruit off with the current health concerns with raw food. It would have been nice to have been offered a substitute but I wasn't so I paid $18 for 2 pieces of French toast. I feel like the French toast would have been a better choice if it was accompanied with choice of, chicken sausage or regular sausage and eggs. That would have made a more complete brunch. The French toast was ok but could have used a little more flavor (ie cinnamon, vanilla, etc). The syrup was a very good grade of maple syrup and tasted so good. I did add 2 eggs for $6. Lastly had the breakfast croissant sandwich with grits. The sandwich was good I did substitute the regular sausage for chicken sausage. The chicken sausage was delicious. I was very pleased with the grits they were so good. Overall, the portions are small especially for the price. The restaurant is in a prime location, right in the center of Disney Springs and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. I would like to return for lunch or dinner in the cooler months so I may dine on the second floor patio over looking Disney Springs.
