Shakers is the kind of neighborhood diner that makes you wonder how you didn't find it sooner. The…read moreplace is full of personality, with salt and pepper shakers covering the walls and little details everywhere you look. It's charming without trying too hard. My biggest piece of advice: don't forget the griddled blueberry muffin. I somehow missed it when we ordered, realized my mistake, and immediately put in a second order. It was absolutely worth it. The biscuit was just as good, huge, fluffy, and basically a meal by itself. The food across the board was exactly what I wanted from a spot like this. The avocado, bacon, and tomato omelet was excellent. I don't usually love tomato, but it added just enough brightness to make the whole thing work. The eggs, grits, and chicken and waffles were all solid in the best possible way. Nothing here is trying to be trendy or overcomplicated. It's just really good diner food served in a place with a ton of character. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm ordering the muffin first.

Past it is a gorgeous garden with lots of seating and the Wellborn house. The interior of the house is so aesthetic, with an eclectic-vintage look too it. There's lots of cool art and lighting throughout the home. There's bathrooms even ball pits for photos, which is such a cute whimsical touch. We went to the upstairs bar and it was surprising quiet for a Saturday. The staff was super sweet and we spent a while chatting with them. They even brought out complimentary shots, which was very kind of them. We sat on the patio overlooking the garden while enjoying our drinks. It stayed quite lit so we were able to enjoy ourselves and just hang out I'm so glad I finally came here and can't wait to come back again!

This hidden gem is highly celebrated for its lush, tropical courtyard and its unique setup within a cluster of historic properties, including the Norment-Parry House, which is Orlando's oldest documented residence ( the real estate side of me loves this so much ) Ambiance is gorgeous at night and vibe is very low key. We decided to stop here first to have a cocktail and enjoy some music but for a Friday night it was very boring so we left and went further into downtown for a more fun vibe with good music. I heard Sunday brunch here is amazing so I'll try that and get back to you with an updated review !

She was very happy with this order. A nice sweet cinnamony French toast. Steak and eggs, veggie omelet, and smoked salmon Benedict: no complaints with these! All were satisfactory!

Jenny and her staff welcomed us and provided excellent service. Jenny, the owner, personally came by to check in on us and our visit. Now for the food...I love soul food and can be particular about preparation and this was delicious! The fries you can tell was homemade and most places don't do that. I am impressed. Everything was spot on. There were a lot of black art for decor and for sale that added to the vibes. I definitely would come back when I'm back in town.

Went to Maxine's for magical dining with a group of 7. We were seated in the "chapel" which is a…read moreprivate nook in the back. I was glad to have been seated there as on the way out the main dining area was full, loud, and very warm! We had their happy hour special which was a bottle of wine and a cheese platter, which was extremely well plated and had a nice variety! I think we tried everything on the magical dining menu within our group and everyone was very pleased, except the person who ordered the chicken - she felt she could have made it herself at home so it wasn't as worth it to her. Our server wasn't great to be honest, but she tried. She had trouble understanding us,, and we had trouble understanding her. She also seemed extremely anxious, which several of us noticed. It was really off-putting. We were never offered refills or a chance to order a second drink and we were there over two hours. We also had to go and search for her to get our checks after we'd been done eating for at least 20 minutes. This is what adding auto gratuity does unfortunately - it diminishes service. Maxine's charges 18% gratuity regardless of party size and a 4% higher non-cash price. We knew this in advance and decided to go anyway, but I didn't love it. Had a lovely evening with friends, but I don't feel compelled to revisit again soon.

I was in pinch but note that the food does not come out quickly, which to me only means that it's really fresh. I was initially always hesitant to check it out because of lack of parking, but once I realize that there is complementary parking for visiting the food hall, that allowed me to want to come back. Personally I would skip the coffee here mostly because there are so many great coffee options and theirs was just ok at best. Although it's not their fault and it is a food hall, the hall felt extremely warm, and a lot of shops were not open or seemed like they were empty. It didn't exactly leave me wanting to sit and stay for a long time. Also, since the food hall wasn't superactive you do have a lot of seating options and could make a good space for a bigger breakfast group.

A true hole in the wall type of restaurant. The type of restaurant you would truly only know about…read moreif you lived in the neighborhood. So I was riding through the neighborhood, a friend of mine that couldn't remember exactly where this restaurant was located. But after driving past a few milestones, he remembered, and we pulled into the parking spot. I was perplexed and confused because I couldn't believe that this was. So the gentleman inside was really really nice, he gave us a sample of his freshly made lemonade and top the soft before we left. Also, he makes everything from scratch. If I have any knock on, this is the fact that the shrimp and grits (from the pic) doesn't look attractive because of all the grease that went up. But when I was able to mix everything together and start eating you up very very good job whipping up this meal. Also, my friend was very satisfied with his chicken and waffles because before we left, all the chicken were carcasses. So the place is not very appealing, literally just looks like a hole in the wall. But I must say for these two meals that were made. It was absolutely delicious.
