    Nice atmosphere for a night out, great if you can catch some live music. HH food is decent and the drinks are good. They're also open late which I like.

    Cute restaurant that serves brunch in the weekends. They also have a nice happy hour menu. I was greeted when I walked in. I sat outside. I let him know it was my birthday. I ordered a mocktail and dessert. He surprised me with a candle on my cake. They did charge an automatic 20% gratuity.

    I absolutely recommend coming here for drinks post brunch! The food is pretty and tastes passable but nothing to write home about. The drinks were AMAZING and reasonably priced! The staff was aloof at best and neglectful if I'm being critical. The DJ saved the day! He made it an absolute vibe!

    We came in for a late night bite and enjoyed the drinks and service, but the food was just okay in my opinion. We noticed there's usually a nice crowd for their brunch and the menu looks good so we plan to check that out soon. All in all, glad to have a late night spot like this in the neighborhood.

    Good food + GREAT vibes... I will be returning!! Came here to celebrate my friend's birthday for brunch and we had a TIME. The chicken and waffles were so good (and very filling) and the mimosas... were mimosa-ing. Our waiter was nice, it did take a while for them to bring the food and drinks... but the music took my mind off it. Great place to come for a friend's brunch, birthday, lit date or... solo meal, if that's your vibe.

    A fun brunch/early dinner place to hang out to start your night downtown. We got here around 5pm so it was switching into dinner menu. We ordered the lychee martini and old fashion. The old fashion had a branded ice cube which was pretty cool! To eat, we shared the calamari and Korean short ribs (galbi). Both dishes were delicious and filling, good for tapas! I would recommend this place to everyone. Music was RnB so it was right up our alley. An hour into dinner, the place started to get crowded. I recommend reservations as we got lucky as walk-ins.

    Environment: clean place, decor is modern. Sundays, they have a dj he played a lot, 90s, 2000 r&b. Everyone seemed to be having fun! Small but good for groups, they take reservations, so it is probably best to call ahead Service: Staff was friendly and super helpful, we first sat at the bar, and the hostes moved us once a table was available and she even took our order so we didnt have to wait for a waitress to be available. The bar tenders were very nice, recommended food and drinks. Food: We were there for brunch, so we ordered from the brunch menu. The shrimp and grits were amazing! The ricotta cheese pancakes and omelet were delicious as well. The only downside is that they do not have unlimited mimosas or sangrias, so it can get pricey with drinks. I also felt the drinks were a little weak, but overall, everything was delicious.

    First visit here and I really wasn't impressed. While the service was fantastic, I felt the food could've been better. Our waiter was attentive, and even upon entering we were greeted by multiple staff members. There was a promo going on for a new flavor Canadian whiskey, so they came around to our table and offered that. I only was able to get a few pictures but all in all we ordered: Calamari, Black Truffle Buratta, Truffle fries, Braised Pork Belly Bao, beef Sliders, Grilled Rack of Lamb, and Tiger Wings. All the food was presented beautifully, however, everything lacked a tremendous amount of flavor. The calamari were small in size, and very chewy. Buratta had no hint of truffle, and pork belly bao's were underwhelming. The temperature of the wings were cold, and bland. I did not try the lamb, but the feedback there was unsatisfactory. I'm sorry to say, but I will not be returning. There are too many other options in this area. We ordered a lot of food...so it does sadden me that not one thing on the menu was worth visiting for.

    One of our friends was celebrating being on the 40 under 40 list so naturally we went to Eola Lounge to celebrate and by celebrating, I mean drink....a lot lol. My boyfriend and I didn't eat but we drank about 4 cocktails. He had 2 old fashioneds which he said were really good and I had The Fountain which was ok and the Reisling from Germany which I wasn't a huge fan of (it was a bit more tart than I was expecting.) I will say the reason I gave the restaurant 5 stars was because the waiter was PHENOMENAL. I wish I got his name because he was that good. It was about 18-20 of us which isn't an easy feat and he did it effortlessly and attentively. I was thoroughly impressed. This place is great for a date night or even a girls night before you party downtown. I also heard they have an amazing brunch. But don't take my opinion, formulate your pens by checking them out!

    A birthday trip to Orlando well worth the visit. Although it was really hot and I was on the patio, the food made up for it. The service was great and the drinks were flowing. The inside of this place is kind of small so they get packed really easily and the service all work together which I think is really nice. The only complaint I have is, I asked to be seated at the nicer table to the end, and they told me they couldn't. However, 10 minutes later, they seated some people over there.

    So I have been here before, but it was just during dinner. I don't even remember making a review for this place, which I was shocked. I'm wondering why I didn't, but that's another story for another day. So a friend of mine wanted to do brunch here, and a few of us decided to come out and do just that. The food was, pretty good, the music was great as well. Overall, I love the atmosphere just looking around the room. But I could tell you for sure that it's not a big space. It's probably best to RSVP beforehand. Service was good, we were checked frequently and when we finally needed someone for some thing, we just asked, so it truly wasn't a problem. I would come back for the drinks, I heard during the week that they have happy hour that last almost all day, and of course good for me. I would come back no problem for another exciting fun brunch.

    Eola lounge is a beautiful new lounge located in downtown Orlando.. Their specials include all day happy hour on Mondays , Wine down Wednesday & happy hour Tuesday- Sunday from 5-7pm . They also have a weekend brunch on Saturdays& Sundays from 11:30am-3:30pm. We came on a Saturday for happy hour and tried almost everything on the hh menu . For drinks , We tried the blueberry lemon drop, Lychee Martini , mojito, South Eola Espresso made with tequila instead of vodka , French 75, & a cucumber margarita . For food we had the truffle fries , calamari, garlic wings & tiger wings . We added in a dessert ( not from the hh menu ) of crème brûlée. Overall the food was delicious, the ambiance was very nice . You can eat inside or outside on the patio . They have TV's and also play some nice tunes . I enjoyed this lounge . It makes for a good hang out spot for dinner , girls night out , happy hour and more . After dinner we took a stroll downtown for a bit before calling it a night . Def add them to your list & check them out !!

    What type of music do they play on Sunday?

    Went there two Sundays ago. The morning was RnB and the afternoon was more today's top charts

    Do they take reservations (or have a phone for that matter)? I've tried reaching out to them and I haven't been able to reach anyone.

    Yes I think you can make reservations on open table & I called last month and made one for a big party

There's a giant ice cube and a bamboo leaf or something and very little drink to drink. Not sure what to make of this because as soon as I was deciding if I liked it or not, it was gone. Wouldn't order this again. Second, I tried a $17 Adam & Eve. I wish the matcha was much stronger. There's a place in Tampa called Tori Bar that has a super duper matcha tasting cocktail. This one was much lighter. It was fine, not my favorite. Maybe I'd bring a date here sometime, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

Went to celebrate a birthday and the service was surprisingly quick for how busy they were on a Friday evening, the servers as well as managers AND the hostess all checked in regularly with a smile and small talk when prompted. We were especially impressed that servers not tending to our table placed orders/knew of orders and communicated with the waitress serving us. Most restaurants struggle to keep orders ready with the designated server, this place EXCELLED with communication. We all enjoyed a variety of different cocktails, all of which were delicious (however a bit pricy for some) and all partook in appetizers and entrees. ALL of the food was delicious and had fair portions, couldn't say enough good things. This place is a bit cramped but not horribly, the decor is cute and everything is clean :) Most importantly, to celebrate the birthday we were brought a tres leches cake that paired very nicely with the pastelitos and cafecito service!

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.

That said, parking can be hard to find. I've also been here during the day time one time and their kitchen was closed for a couple hours for serving food, so I left. Because of this, when I arrived yesterday, I immediately asked them what time their kitchen closed and their kitchen closed an hour before close. So keep that in mind as well. I sat at the bar. Service was good. Food was amazing! I got their dumplings, miso toast, risotto, and their creme brûlée. Everything was so fantastic, except the miso toast. It was good but I wouldn't get it again. The crème brûlée was so amazing! The chocolate espresso beans were 10/10. I ALMOST tipped them 50% of my bill! So as a server, thankfully I caught this. In the very back of their menu, it says an automatic 20% gratuity is applied to every check, which is kinda crazy to be honest. I was already going to tip him 30%. So it would have been 20% and 30% tip. So be very aware that they're already applying the tip to everyone's bill and it was just me, one person!
