No exterior sign at all. Found my way inside and it took a few moments to be acknowledged. That's ok, baristas were busy, I get it. I was slightly underwhelmed at the dark interior. It was no where near as clean or charming as I had expected. Once greeted, I asked if I could have my Americano in a mug instead of a to-go cup. [Insert confused face here]. Apparently this was a tough request. Once we cleared this up, payment was processed and I took a seat at a booth. Coffee order was brought out in a small plastic cup. Yes- plastic cups. Mmmm, hot liquid served in plastic is my fav. (I'm kidding of course) worse yet, the coffee was straight up awful. Truly, it was bad and I hate to even say this. I know a small biz needs all the love it can get and I REALLY wanted to love this place. I even had an extra shot of espresso added and this drink wasn't even as good as a gas station. I'm a huge espresso lover. I have a fancy machine at home but I love to support coffee shops when I'm out running errands. There are very rare times that I have negative comments. Sadly, this was one of those rare occasions. On the bright side- clean restrooms & fun art on the walls. And I was able to snap some cute shots with a retro filter.

Definitely worth it though.

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.

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.

This was my first time eating here for lunch/brunch. I ordered the steak and eggs and it was pretty good. I actually really like the fries here, as they are big and "potato-y" if that's a word?? I did taste my friend's lobster roll and it was pretty good. I like that it wasn't overly dressed. We had an seat at the front outside and it was a good weather day so we all enjoyed it. The service was pretty good when we went as well. They do have a decent menu and it is a fun place with a unique vibe. Definitely recommend you have a reservation.

The interior kinda has a hipster-rustic vibe but with more comfortable chairs. Prices seemed reasonable. Service seemed a bit overwheled but again, I think the massive event letting out had something to do with that. 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.

I…read morestarted with the garlic grits, which were thick, creamy, and perfectly seasoned, with crispy bacon on top that added just the right amount of salt and texture. The crab Benedict was exceptional, featuring well-seasoned crab cakes paired with perfectly poached eggs and a light, flavorful hollandaise. Each bite was rich without being overwhelming. The Baja omelette was packed with savory chicken and complemented by fresh avocado that kept the dish bright and balanced. The lemon blueberry pancakes were a real standout. They were light, fluffy, and had a bright citrus flavor that paired beautifully with the sweetness of the blueberries. Everything felt fresh and carefully prepared. The brunch cocktails are also worth mentioning. The Peach Stand Mimosa was sweet but not too heavy, making it a perfect pairing for a late morning meal. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. This is the kind of place where you want to linger over your food and enjoy a relaxed brunch with friends or family.

They served me burnt toast, I sent it back and they fixed it. The potatoes are disgusting. The aftertaste is similiar to old frying oil. The pancakes were plain and tasteless, they needed vanilla in the mix or a better tasting mix. You have to open many of these tiny butter packets to get enough for the pancakes, which were barely warm. The worst is the bacon tastes terrible. But, I got it very crispy and I asked for no crispy on the bacon and I received it all in bits and pieces. See pix below. My spouse says that the grits are not as creamy as other restaurants, but not bad. Lastly, the coffee is so bad and at $3.89 a cup, it would have been great if it's worth the overpriced taste. The wait staff was rude and got impatient with me when I showed her the burnt toast. Her attitude needs a more positive approach. She made me uncomfortable whenever she spoke to me. We have unanimously decided that this place has no friendly vibes while you're there. Their metal chairs are very uncomfortable and very low for taller people. I wouldn't recommend Eggs Up to anyone.

This is one of my favorite restaurants for brunch in Winter Park! In fact, I've stopped in twice in…read morethe last three weeks. I bought a friend from New York who was visiting and she loved it. She requested if they could make her a Chunky Chicken Salad sandwich, rather than the salad on the menu. They obliged and even gave her a Bleu Cheese Caesar salad on the side. Briarpatch knows how to impress as well as cater to the needs of the customer! I ordered one of my favorites, the Brown Rice Bowl and it was fresh and more than filling for lunch. Various flavored mimosas were enjoyed also. I went again last week with local friends as all three of us enjoy this place (and its mimosas!!) One friend tried the Chunky Chicken Salad on the menu (seasonal fruits and berries with zucchini bread sandwiches) and commented on the presentation (which Briarpatch is also well known for) and the freshness of the fruit. She especially enjoyed the zucchini sandwiches! Her husband ordered the Roast Beef Sandwich as it is one of his favorites on the menu. He devoured every bite of it and was very pleased with the tenderness of the beef and the flavor of the au jus. I ordered the Short Rib Benedict as I eyed it a few weeks back. It did not disappoint! Plenty of shredded, perfectly cooked short rib was on a bed of crispy hash browns. Two poached eggs covered in hollandaise sauce sat nicely on top of this amazing dish. It was heaven! Based on the above, I trust you can understand why I love this place. Outdoor seating, exemplary service each and every time I visit and food that is picture-perfect and tastes outstanding. What more could you ask for?! I highly recommend the Briarpatch!

While visiting Florida, my sister insisted we stop here for lunch--and she absolutely nailed it…read more This place is a winner. We arrived just after the lunch rush, which gave me time to really study the menu board... and wow, there were so many tempting options. I went with the Wobble savory crepe, loaded with turkey, chicken, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and tomato. They recommended the Cajun remoulade, but I swapped it for blue cheese--and let me tell you, that was an excellent call. An absolute home run. One of the things I really appreciated was being able to watch the crepes made from start to finish. Everything looked fresh, and they were more than happy to customize ingredients along the way--no hassle at all. The staff was pleasant and friendly, the dining area was spotless, and since the weather was perfect, we chose to eat on the patio, which made the experience even better. My only complaint? They don't have a location in Oklahoma! We do have a crepe spot back home, but I've never tried their savory crepes. After this visit, I'm inspired to give it another shot--though The Crepevine set the bar pretty high. Fantastic lunch, great atmosphere, and well worth the stop. I'd happily return on my next Florida visit.

The crepes themselves are made fresh and arrive genuinely warm, which is half the battle. I ordered the buffalo chicken crepe and appreciated the good kick it had. The fillings were competent but unremarkable, nothing that made me think "I need to come back for that specific crepe." The chicken had a tendency to slide toward the bottom as I ate, which was a bit of a nuisance especially when your first 2-3 bites are all lettuce and tomato If you're looking for something easy and quick to grab for lunch, The Crepevine delivers. It's the kind of place where the experience is enjoyable partly because of what it is rather than it being exceptional at what it does. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a good spot to pop in with friends or grab something on your way. If I'm in the area and want something a little different from the usual lunch routine, I'd happily return.

When we arrived, our waitress mentioned she was the floor manager, but honestly she seemed to be doing every job bartender, server, running food, outside, in the kitchen she was everywhere. Because of that, we had long waits just to place orders or ask for anything we needed. I ordered the French toast with an extra side of bacon. When the food came out, they forgot my syrup. When I asked for it, someone told me I had to pay for syrup, even though I never received any in the first place. I also ordered a lychee mimosa, and it took about 20 minutes just to get the drink, which was frustrating. The bingo portion was fun, but the rounds felt spaced out about every 20-30 minutes. If you're sitting inside, the caller is hard to hear because the music continues to play, so you end up asking for numbers to be repeated. Overall, the whole experience felt unorganized. They definitely need more staff or better management during brunch events. This was my third time giving this location a chance, and unfortunately I will not be returning.
