    My boyfriend and I dined at fork and barrel just about a week ago. The interior had a nice rustic farmhouse look to it with a variety of touches such as barrels on display. For an appetizer, we chose the Florida Sweet Corn Bread. It was moist and the honey butter was mouthwatering. The Southern Blackened Redfish was my choice for an entrée. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sides paired well. My boyfriend selected the Salmon Oscar and enjoyed it as well. In addition, the service was good as expected. Both the meal and appetizer came out fast. Our waiter, Reynaldo, was kind. Overall, we rate the experience a 9/10. Just shy from being a perfect 10/10. Can't wait to come back soon!

    The restaurant was not busy on a Saturday afternoon except for a few bar customers. The restaurant is clean and tidy. Our server was friendly and helpful. Their menu offers a great selection of sandwiches, salads, and main courses- steak and seafood selections. Their food is well priced. For starters I ordered the Lobster Bisque, and it was tasty. The bisque was too thick, and the cream gave it an appearance of slight separation indicating they added it while the soup was too hot and very thick; not much lobster to speak of, good tasting soup overall. My husband ordered the cornbread which comes with butter- it was nice, 3 mini loaves of well baked, with a crispy crust and a layer of sugar cornbread goodness. I like cornbread to be a bit sweeter but I was delighted with this version. My husband tried the French Dip au Jus with truffle fries. He gave it a thumbs up; really loved it. I stole a few fries and they were amazing! We both loved the flavor, the crispiness and doneness were on point. The Caesar salad ingredients tasted freshly cut and prepared. The croutons were not homemade but were fresh. It had both grated and shavings of parmesan cheese and the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked. The Caesar dressing was not my fave. It was sort of an emulsified Parmesan vinaigrette- on the very acidic- not enough traditional flavor side, which really surprised me because I expected a great version, but not this time, in my opinion the dressing was a no for me. They offer a bar area, booths, self standing tables and additional seating, maybe suitable for private events. Their decoration is Americana rustic farmhouse concept. Nice 80's, 90's + music playing in the background. We will be back soon!

    I came to enjoy a cocktail during happy hour and the bartender was so accommodating and super friendly. I enjoyed a French 75 and I am excited to go back to see what's on their menu and try their dishes. The restaurant is extremely spacious and very cozy.

    Ok, third time since its re opening as fork and barrel. I was with a large group. They had gotten the back room. The music was too loud and we couldn't hear the speaker. Although they had said before they could turn down the music, apparently there is only one music volume for the whole restaurant and so they denied our request to turn it down. The food was ok but nothing to write home about. I got the redfish sandwich. She asked if fries are ok and when I asked to swap it for a salad she said yes but never told me there is a $4 upcharge. That's rude.

    Sweet potato fries were my favorite! All the house made sauces were my second favorite! Great food and service. Disappointed that they ran out of bloody mary mix. But it happens! I'll go back for sure.

    Short ribs, mashed potatoes and carrots.

    Server, Emma, was wonderful. Checked on us but was not intrusive. Food was excellent! I had the short ribs and the deviled eggs appetizer.

    Phenomenal food, great service, the scenery is beautiful. perfect spot for a date especially with the private back room.

    Appetizers, cocktails, and the red fish were delicious. The pork chop was good and the mashed potatoes were so so.

Lighthouse is both a full seafood market and restaurant, giving you that fresh off the boat quality seafood cooked exactly how you like and served right to your table.

The sides were just as good paired with the fish perfectly. I also had a tasty little side Caesar salad. The house Caesar dressing was great, lightly dressed so it didn't drown the romaine like some places do, and finished with grated parmesan and crunchy croutons. Overall, this was a great meal.

Shrimp & Grits: one bite and just sat there in silence and awe! Fried Shrimp Basket: Crispy like it just graduated from Crunch University. Not greasy, not heavy, golden perfection. These shrimp had more balance than my checking account and more flavor than most people's personalities. This place didn't just meet expectations--it body-slammed them! Highly recommend.

We also ordered a crawfish and muzzle combo for my brother. And in addition, we wanted to try the light blue crabs for $20, which was four total blue crabs. These prices included cleaning & cooking the seafood for us. That saves us time and cleaning at home. We brought it home to eat with steamed rice and dipped the seafood in lemon pepper, cocktail sauce, and lime juice. The blue crabs were fresh and full of meat.

I ordered the house wine for happy hour (3 buck chuck), and lobster roll and crab cake platter, with broccoli as the side (about 21.5). I paid directly on the counter using Google Pay, and took my drink to my table. I tried the Moscato wine, which tasted cheap, but no complaints at all for 3 dollars. It was still sweet and buzzed me lightly. The food was delivered to our table shortly after. The lobster roll was filling, but mostly a mix of both real and surami lobster. It was still enjoyable and had the nice fish flavor I enjoy from surami. The crab cake had real blue crab claw meat and was flavorful. The broccoli looked to be grilled or steamed and had the right amount of seasoning. It was really enjoyable. My only minor gripe was the hot sauce I took that said XXX, but after adding to the food, there was no fire to the taste buds engine. While it added some flavor, it didn't bring any fuel to the spices. The service was wonderful. The attendant was very friendly and helpful, and even took care of the plates after we were done. I believe his name was Christopher. The atmosphere is very casual, no frills setting. The dining area is a bit small, but outdoor seating was available too. It looked nautical themed, as well as gator stuff. Parking was free and easy in the strip mall. Best of all, when you are done eating, for can walk to the park nearby. TJs serves great seafood at very reasonable prices. While it is no frills atmosphere, the good quality food makes the price worth it. The service is very friendly and helpful.

The skimpy amount of seafood I got was not good, not cooked well, or served with undercooked potatoes. It shook me. Especially for a Winter Park restaurant. After my five year statute of limitations passed on repeating restaurants, I looked for the perfect opportunity to come back and try again. I found that opportunity recently with a few friends for brunch. Their brunch menu looked amazing, so we made our reservation and came on by. Ambiance is actually really nice. Right off one of the main WP roads, gigantic windows look out upon the street as passersby roam from shop to shop. Inside looks like an ocean-side sea shack, but an upper middle class one. Very nice little ocean-themed chotchkies adorn the walls, very cozy. Service was also great. Very nice server, very prompt food delivery, and they gave complimentary bread with a delightful butter. I always adore free bread. We started off sharing the Seafood Fritters (Four savory puppies, stuffed with lobster, shrimp, scallops, clams, grouper, onions, corn, poblano peppers, served with a zesty tartar sauce). If all five of those seafoods really were in there, there must have been only a few molecules each, but there was undoubtedly flavors from most of that list, and they were accentuated with the poblano. Topped with that zesty tartar, and this was an A+ app. I had the Lobster Benedict Royale (Chunks of Maine lobster on fried green tomatoes & house-baked buttermilk biscuits, topped with poached eggs & Hollandaise, sprinkled with paprika & chopped green onions). This was indulgent. Pure luxury. A warm biscuit with a good flakiness, that fried green tomato with the perfect thickness and thin, delicate coating, and those perfectly cooked jumbo chunks of lobster on top, all covered in an unctuous Hollandaise. Exactly as it sounds, as advertised, the perfect seafood brunch item. I also got to try the Shrimp Frittata (Wild-caught Florida shrimp, fresh eggs, spinach, Campari tomatoes, goat cheese, caramelized onions, baked in a cast-iron skillet, with wheat toast, butter & a little mixed green salad). This was a fun dish. Good shrimps, well-cooked eggs, a nice tang from that goat, and of course a nice crunchy toast to help make it even more interesting. I didn't like that random salad on the side. Just get bigger cast irons and make the frittata bigger. Overall, what a redemption. I'm not sure what was wrong back in the day, but this is a five star place now that I will happily return to when it's time.
