The decor speaks for itself, this place is absolutely decked out to the high heavens for Christmas and definitely worth a reservation and stop in ! but... be SURE to make a reservation because you may not be able to get in if you don't (best do it a couple days in advance if you can!) Rudolph's Replacement: 10/10 for cuteness (got it for the TRex cup) BUT this drink tasted like chocolate grass. if that's ur vibe, you'll love it. Christmapolitan: Not the cutest, average for looks just in a normal cute little glass, but guess what.... it was thebest drink we had!! 10/10 for flavor, loves it. Dancing Sugarplumb: Again not the cutest it's basic, BUT THE FLAVOR 9/10 The Krampus: the cup is killer. love it. drinks like a sippy cup, but for a Christmas demon. there is mezcal in this it's definitely on the smokier side, but even the mezcal haters at the table love it. 8/10 flavor if you like a little smoky and a tad bit of heat. All we had to eat was the pretzels with pimento - i was skeptical but wow, super good! All in all, would definitely recommend, you just have to plan to come here in advance and get that reservation!

Always love to have festive drinks for the fall season and The Courtesy delivered! Made a…read morereservation for a birthday event for my bestie because we wanted an atmospheric themed spot with fun drinks for Halloween festivities after we had dinner nearby. Definitely make a reservation ahead because these themed pop ups that The Courtesy does book up quickly and you don't wanna miss out on it! Can't wait for the Christmas Holiday ones! Our first round of drinks were amazing and perfect choices of cup design or garnish. The only downside was when we ordered one drink there was confusing on whether it was up to the allergy request we had but it was fixed shortly after but I feel as if the server should have been more educated on it since it could have been avoided. Other than that the drinks were perfect, which my favorite was the Scream cocktail which came in its iconic Ghostface cup and went along with my outfit and Scream mask and knife I brought along with me. After another round of drinks we got their Trick or Treat shots which were definitely interesting and live up to their names for both shots! Definitely fit the vibe with the music, atmosphere and decorations around the bar which made an awesome spot for Halloween themed drinks to enjoy for the season!

I was celebrating my 27th birthday with my…read moreclosest friends and I can honestly say The Chapman was the best dining experience I have ever had. As soon as I arrived, the staff acknowledged it was my birthday and the manager came over to grab my cake and put it in the fridge and we were immediately sat. I started out with a Cloudstar martini which was incredible and I ordered the famous focaccia rolls for the table. They are so flavorful with the Tasmanian sea salt and they are so doughy and soft. Truly unlike any bread service I have ever had. For my entree, I ordered the Bronzed Florida Grouper with the saffron risotto but I also had a few bites of the Chapman Meatballs and Salmon. Everything I tried was absolutely incredible. The menu is packed with flavor and has something for everyone, which I really can appreciate. For dessert, even though I had brought in a cake for the table, our server Maddie, informed me that she will be bringing out a no bake cheesecake. The cheesecake was fantastic and I loved the berry jam on the side. Maddie brought out side plates and a knife for us to cut the cake and even assembled my candles and lit them. We were dining outside, closest to the patio, and at one point the rain started to pick up. The manager immediately came over and said that they had a table inside available if we wanted to move inside. Since we all were staying dry we opted to stay outside and a few moments later the rain stopped. As someone who has worked in the service industry the pre-planning of this moment was incredible. Throughout the entire evening, Maddie was consistently clearing plates, filling water, and checking to make sure we had everything we needed. Maddie was attentive and such a delight. The restaurant even gave me a happy birthday card from the whole team with handwritten signatures and well wishes. This was incredibly special and such an intimate gesture that really goes the extra mile. The service that we received this night was exemplary and I truly owe it all to our server, Maddie. In fact, I have never experienced this before when dining for my birthday. Thank you, Maddie, and to The Chapman team for making my 27th so special. I will definitely be dining here again and will recommend this restaurant to everyone I know!

The vibe here is dark, intimate, and gives off a chic city nightlife feel. They offer both a full cocktail menu and a happy hour menu. They also offer a Thai tapas menu, which we unfortunately didn't get to try because we were already stuffed from dinner at Talay, but the menu looked amazing and gives us another reason to come back! The drinks are unique, creative, and very well crafted. We ordered the Celestial Bloom, and it was absolutely delicious! It was beautifully balanced and left us wanting to come back just to try more of their cocktails. Definitely a great spot for drinks before or after dinner!

The hidden door which you push is on the right side. Once inside the bar it is super small inside. The tables along the wall are squished together. I think you're better off at the bar. I could see lots of people bringing dates here. First up, I tried a $17 Tree of Life. The drink the bartender made me was maybe 2 sips. 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.

Let's start with props for being open at that time on a day when most restaurants are still sleeping from the night before. But here, you can get highly-curated, quality Japanese hand-rolls, with Sapporo or Asahi on draft, all kinds of sake, a calm, soothing atmosphere and friendly service. The place itself is very art-directed, modern and purposeful. Apparently it's owned by the Kabooki Sushi team, and the quality speaks for itself. It's not your typical sushi restaurant. It's hand rolls. Which means, seaweed is the wrap. Theirs is imported straight from Japan. And for the record, the seaweed is dense, flavorful and also way healthier for you than a mouthful of rice. I sat for the omakase which included a very delicious hamachi appetizer. Then an onslaught of handrolls including lobster, eel, a lean and fatty tuna (toro, the best) and a spicy root vegetable of the name I can't remember. In all, this place has great hours. A wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. And flavors that you can explore because the folks there want you to have fun eating the food as they prepare it. It's very live and fresh. And I'm super grateful it's just a few blocks away because I'll leave you with this. The prices are reasonable too. 5 stars all around. But be careful, I hear it gets packed during peak evening hours. Bravo though. Mosonori has a place in Orlando's culinary scene, for sure.
