    Just came in for a nightcap. Friendly bartenders. Good selection of a full bar. Small tap selection- but good variety. Menu looked fairly priced for the location. Very loud. Seems that large groups staying at the hotel congregate and it turns into a loud party. Nice place to hang out.

    Hotel restaurants can go with way, luckily this one went the right way! My friends ate at the attached food court and I didn't see anything I wanted to eat, so I checked out the menu for Cricket's online and decided to check it out on the way back to our room. I'm glad we did! The food and drinks were delicious and the service was great! Definitely check this place out if you are staying at the hotel. The chicken Marsala was rich and tasty! The pesto pasta and green beans that were served with it were also great. The bartenders made great drinks, to the rim, and thoughtfully entered appropriate conversations throughout the bar. I had such a great night!

    5 stars for the bartender. I left my two bags at the counter. When I returned about 2 hours later, they were placed to the side for me. The food was meh...but integrity goes a long way in my book. I had the shrimp and grits. I'm used to the Charleston style shrimp and grits...these were more sautéed with no sauce. The wings looked tasty...

    If you are attending a conference or staying at the Florida mall conference hotel, chances are you will have that captive feeling of only one good bar choice. Crickets was so enjoyable and reasonable, I would still go there either way. Beers on tap include a nice selection, even Stella and for $5.00 a pint, seemed like a good deal, especially for a bar located in a hotel area. If you want something fancier for $10 I would recommend the raspberry lemon drop martini. Sweet yes, but packs a delicious punch. Food is the typical bar fare and we tried the gluten free pizza to accommodate one of our friends. I enjoyed the thin, crispy crust, and delicious pizza so much I wouldn't have even known it was gluten free. the atmosphere was nice with regular tables, high tops, and large tables for groups, not to mention the full bar. Even though they were very busy, there were plenty of servers available to quickly take our orders and bring us great food and drinks. I am a fan of Crickets and I look forward to an excuse to get back to the Florida Mall to stop in again.

They have a ton of great items and would have loved to spend more time in the shop but it was getting close to last call at their bar and wanted to make sure I tried a drink. The bar itself is quite small, but it packs a bunch with décor. There is so much to see and every time you look a different way, there's something else you didn't see before. When I came, it was really not crowded which is good because like I said, it is small so it was nice to be able to walk around. My friends and I all tried different drinks and they were all really good. The service was fast and efficient. I would definitely check this place out again and recommend. According to other comments, they do change up the drinks so I would love to try something else.

Let's focus on the positives first: the atmosphere is incredibly fun and the live music Saturday night was a perfect touch at the bar. There were plenty of fun activities for the kids and there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids with fried chicken and shrimp, macaroni and cheese, fries, and red velvet cupcakes. $25 is a deal if your child would chow down on shrimp, but it might not be a great deal if your child is usually full after four bites. Our server was absolutely fantastic, friendly and very attentive. We started off the dinner with some fantastic deviled eggs and a lemon cello cocktail. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was really disappointed with the tiny, overcooked shrimp and crawfish that accompanied the slightly bland grits. The shrimp on the kids buffet was at least four times larger than the sad little shrimp in my dish. I think the sausage was cut into smaller chunks just so it wouldn't be so obvious how small the shrimp was. My husband didn't love his heirloom tomato salad and said the Wagyu appetizer was disgusting. Dessert was mediocre. The macarons that accompanied my crème brûlée were stale and chewy. This is a fun spot for a drink and appetizer, but I would skip eating dinner at Highball & Harvest.

The atmosphere is themed, they have a space for live music, and I love the different seating options (bar, high tops, tables, and booths). As a tradition, we always order a handful of things to try at a new place. For appetizers, we ordered the Bangin' Shrimp and the Pulled Pork Tacos - these were IMMEDIATE 10/10s Genuinely still dreaming of both of these. For the entree, I ordered a Shroom n Swiss - it was cooked so well, but I was surprised that the mushroom was the size of the patty versus smaller ones.

Food was good, Manhattan was meh, 2 stars, service sucked.

Once I stayed once and appreciated the midcentury design of the place I was hooked. And the Swizzle Lounge was definitely one of the perks. When I was running late, driving north after work from South Florida I had a 1st primary objective, make it in time to grab one martini at Swizzle. I was making ok time but when I got into the lobby I knew I only had 15 minutes to spare. And there was a long line to check in. When I finally checked in I only had minutes left. I walked up the busy evening bar with little to no hope. And yet one of the busy bartenders saw me and said they had last call already, but they would get me for one. Halleluiah. One martini later and I was ready to wander to our room. The Swizzle is retro, brightly lit, and especially friendly. Looking forward to stopping in again soon.
