I thought the bruschetta was well balanced flavors as well. There were a few wines we each wanted to try so we did a flight where you can pick any 5 wines for a 2-3oz sample of each. We did one dry and one sweet flight so we could try many of the different wines available. The whites were not quite chilled enough for my preference, but they were very flavorful. The reds were bold and flavorful as well. The server was attentive, but allowed us to sit and relax and enjoy our evening chatting and catching up. Great place for a quite date night or friend gathering.

Cool bar located in downtown Sanford. I have been to their Ivanhoe location numerous times, but a…read morefew weeks ago was my first visit here. The bar is also part of a furniture shop. Be careful where you put your drink, especially without a coaster as there is good chance that table you are setting it on is for sale. You may come for a drink and leave with a new piece of furniture for your house... On this visit I got one of their special drinks of the day. It was a variation on the Manhattan. It was ok, I think the bartender made it well, I was just not a fan of the flavoring. Sounded better than it was. It is a cool spot to hangout for a drink or two and worth a visit next time in Sanford.

The service was good, and we were in and out. Granted, we sat at the bar and got one drink each before the dinner rush was in. The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the small portion sizes. The drinks were quite expensive for how little beverage was to be had in the little glasses. Ik restaurants like to say it's all the same, but definitely felt like they priced us out of buying another drink due to the small serving. Onto the drinks, I really enjoyed the Crush Crush. I'm a big cosmo girly and this was spectacular for being used to tasting the vodka in a martini drink. I was very happy with the flavor and enjoyment I got from it. My boyfriend got the margarita and he enjoyed it, but also was a bit disappointed with the portion. I still recommend this restaurant if you're wanting to have a swanky cocktail outing, but maybe have a few other places lined up and don't depend on spending your day/night here. The food looks great too. I will be bringing an office event here to try the food next.

The vibe was dark and romantic, which was perfect for our date night. We ordered the Spinach Rolls for an appetizer and they were delicious. Tender enough to cut with a fork and the crispy bread crumbs added flavor and texture. My husband ordered the fresh fish dish of the evening and it was light and flavorful. It had unique flavors that were delectable. I ordered the Lobster Asparagus Risotto, and it was the best lobster I've had thus far in Orlando. The lobster was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The risotto was creamy and the asparagus tender which was a perfect complement to the lobster. For dessert we ordered the Banana Bread Pudding. The bread pudding was warm and had the texture of a French toast. It was delicious and the whip cream was fresh. The food, service, and ambience were a 10/10. The quality of food is next level and for a fresh/flavorful meal I will always choose The Vineyard.

Well, I must say that I am very disappointed! My husband and…read moreI have dined here many times and the food and service was always impeccable; however, today was very disappointing. Service was slow, the barmaid was definitely slow. In the past, as an appetizer, we would order the Fried Olives...so delicious! Unfortunately they have changed the way they are made and not for the good! I ordered the Key West grilled Maui wrap. Very tasty and generous on the Maui; however, it was on the dry side. Hubby ordered the French Dip with a Caesar salad. French Dip Rib Eye good, but the Caesar salad limp and wilted. I am so disappointed to see that yet another restaurant that once was wonderful has gone down hill! We will no longer go to this restaurant or recommend it.

In town on a work trip, my husband, and I decided to try this place out! What a wonderful surprise! From the moment you walked in the eclectic, industrial, modernized, warm, cozy feel welcomes you in. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we knew right away that this place was a find! A wonderful happy hour menu, led us to a full menu of what felt like a farm to table experience. I sadly didn't get to snap a photo of the excellent appetizer buratta, but it was a perfect blend of balsamic tomato and creamy cheese! I am a true foodie, and this was hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten. My husband absolutely loved his shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked and well balanced flavor. Well, I know everyone recommends the chocolate cake, I can't rave enough about the crème brûlée. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to enjoy a " private chef experience" meal! You will be glad you did!

Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and you can tell there's real thought put into the food and presentation. We ended up staying for well over two hours just enjoying the whole experience -- the vibes, the music, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere were just so good. It felt cozy, lively, and welcoming all at the same time. The drinks were beautifully made and paired perfectly with the food, and the staff and crowd made the space feel fun and relaxed. It's one of those places you randomly find and then immediately want to gatekeep (but also tell everyone about). Truly such a great experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back!

You can come and enjoy a nice drink without getting alcohol. We also ordered a burger from their limited food menu. It was very good. Not in competition for best burger in Orlando or anything, but the flavors were on point, and bun was nice and soft, and the furikake dusted crinkle cut fries were the perfect side item. Overall, this place was very cool, and if you haven't come here yet, you need to.

Plenty of each ingredient and dressing! The Chilean sea bass was a great choice to split bc there was plenty for both of us. It is a 6 ounce filet and the sides were mashed potatoes and asparagus.

They also serve wine and coffee and some food items like pizza and cheese ball bread. They have upstairs and downstairs seating. Great place to come and meet with friends to talk and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. The owners are husband and wife and are very sweet and attentive. The beers range from $8 all the way up to $20 per beer. Coffee is $5 and up. The only thing they don't offer is regular beer like Budweiser which they probably should add for the locals that don't want the fancy beer. There's a parking lot right across the street so it's convenient. It can get quite busy here on the weekends so come early.

The bar itself is a great space and beautifully decorated, which really added to the vibe of the night. There was only one waitress covering the entire bar, and she truly did her best to keep up. We appreciated her effort and attentiveness, especially managing everything on her own. We did try making conversation at the bar, but the interaction felt a bit short. I ordered a mocktail and asked her to surprise me since there wasn't a mocktail menu. She brought a pineapple drink that unfortunately tasted off, it turned out the juice had gone bad. My husband ordered two $12 cocktails, and both were noticeably watered down. I ordered a second mocktail, though, and that one was actually really good. I do want to point out that the drinks did come out in a timely fashion. Overall, the event and atmosphere were fantastic, and while there were a few drink hiccups, we could tell the staff was doing their best.
