We went to Pine and Oak Tavern during Bite30 and had a great time. We went for an early dinner…read morebecause we have a little one and it was quiet but was starting to get busy by the time we left. A perk of going early was we were able to participate in happy hour! We got some discounted old-fashioned, which were lovely. For dinner the portions were large and since we got Bite30, we got three courses. I got the fish bites and it was a generous portion, they were fresh and light, and I shared them with my baby. I think he ate more than I did! For dinner, I got the ribs, with mac & cheese. The ribs were flavorful, and the mac & cheese was seasoned very well! To be honest, I don't remember what I got for dessert, I think it was toffee cake or bread, pudding or something? It was very good though, my husband got the Keylime and he was jealous of my dessert. The manager and the chef both came out and said hello and checked on us, which we both appreciated. It was a great experience overall, we want to come back and try their brunch!

Magical Dining at Delaney's Tavern felt a little like one of those nights in a movie where…read moreeverything is warm, slightly indulgent, and somehow the ravioli becomes a main character. The cocktails were beautiful in that almost-too-pretty-to-drink kind of way, except obviously I drank them. The food was rich, comforting, and the kind of good that makes you briefly stop talking, which for me is saying a lot. And then there was the truffle ravioli. I'm not saying I've thought about it an unreasonable amount since dinner, but I'm also not not saying that. Our server Colin was attentive, knowledgeable, and somehow made the whole evening feel even more special without ever hovering, which is truly an art form in itself. Magical Dining is such a lovely excuse to try some of Orlando's best restaurants while supporting local charities, but Delaney's is one of those places I'd come back to even without the excuse. Preferably with another plate of ravioli. And maybe another cocktail. For research purposes, obviously.

He make sure we had everything we needed, without hovering. The Chef, "Ozzy", came to our table. You can tell he really strives to send a perfect plate to the table. It was so good I ordered trout to go for my sister and Creme Brulee for dessert for later. This will be my go to restaurant in Orlando when I'm in town.

The main reason we come to a restaurant is the food. My Chicken piccata was just okay but too salty for my taste, as if the extra salt would make it better.

For appetizers, we tried the brussel sprouts and the burrata. We all agreed that the brussel sprouts were the best we've ever had. They had a kimchi vinaigrette making them sweet, savory and salty. Each bite really hit all flavor profiles and they were also crispy. For our second appetizer, we ordered the burrata which was served with a tomato and strawberry gazpacho. It was really fresh and it was a nice pallet cleanser after the brussel sprouts. For my entree, I ordered the Alabama chicken. I was excited because my friend ordered this last time and I really liked it. I was underwhelmed this time. The chicken was a little dry and the fried Mac and cheese was really dry. For dessert, we ordered chocolate olive oil cake, which was very moist. We also ordered the hazelnut panna cotta, which was a special. It was good but compared to the cake, it wasn't very memorable. As for service, it was excellent. It's a very small dining room and you do need a reservation.

Back for a birthday brunch. It is really a nice convenient venue for a gathering or celebration…read more The area offers a car garage very close by. There is always plenty of parking available. I made a reservation in advance. We were seating right away. The decor is fun and upscale. We opted to order several appetizer to share. Started with a zero violet 75, sparkling sangria and a no kids tuesdays. All drinks were great and perfect for brunch. We then shared a Parm to Table Experience cart, a Crab Dip, a Beet & Goat salad, the Chicken Tostones and the Burger Sliders. I was pleasantly surprise by the Parm Cart. It's a sharable portion of truffle fettuccine alfredo prepared in a permesan wheel. Fun for the celebration and tasted delicious. Our waitress, Jordyn T., was polite, attentive and offered great dish suggestions. We loved everything she recommended. I've had a great experience every time I've been here. I will make a bigger effort to return more often.

UPDATE: Gave Chroma another try, and I'm so glad I did!…read more After my previous experience, I decided to give Chroma another chance and this visit was a complete turnaround. 5/5! The service was stellar from start to finish, and the food was amazing. The Moroccan Spiced Lamb Chops were easily the highlight and honestly some of the best lamb chops I've had. They were perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. The Coal-Roasted Carrots were also cooked perfectly and were such a great side. The Sticky Edamame was great, but the Whipped Ricotta Crostini with Sicilian pistachio butter was AMAZING. The fluffy, creamy ricotta paired with the pistachio was such a good combination and definitely something I would order again. We finished with the Mixed Berry Cheesecake, which was delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. I'm really glad I decided to give Chroma another try because this experience completely changed my impression. Between the stellar service, amazing food, and atmosphere, this was easily a 5/5 visit. I'll absolutely be back, especially for those lamb chops and the whipped ricotta crostini!

Simply spectacular!…read more In my opinion, this is one of the most incredible small and intimate dining experiences in all of Orlando. From the moment you walk through the door, you can feel that you're about to experience something truly special. My daughter and I had an incredible time here!

The entire staff made us feel incredibly welcome, and you can truly see the respect, passion, and love they have for one another. And the food absolutely incredible! Every dish has such a personal touch from Chef Bruno, with so much creativity and attention to detail. It leaves you genuinely excited to come back and discover what they'll create next. Chef Bruno was amazing, along with the entire team. You can see the love and dedication not only in every dish, but also in the way they work together as such a cohesive team.

I decided to do my last magical dining for 2026 here. I made a reservation through OpenTable. I…read moredecided to sit at the bar since it was open, and tried the Capari cocktail for 15 dollars. It was literally bitter sweet, with the sweetness coming from the fruits, and the bitterness most likely from the liquor. It was still a good and refreshing drink. For the appetizer, I had to try their unique and popular pork belly s'mores. It looked like a dessert, but a sweet and savory dish. The pork belly was braised nicely and tender, with the marshmallow adding the sweetness. The homemade crackers were very nice, and the jalapeno added a nice kick. The main dish was the bourbon chicken. It was nicely tender and had a hint of sweetness from the bourbon. The rice went well with the chicken, and the broccolini was perfectly grilled. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream was a perfect end. Moist and delicious. It was getting full, so I was able to save some and enjoy at home too. The service was attentive with my bartender checking up with me occasionally. They were quite busy, but still friendly. The dining area looked dark and a bit more formal than last time I visited. But still social and relaxing. I didn't get to see the outdoor patio, but it looked nice from the inside. I parked at the UCF/Valencia garage, which was 3 dollars per hour. Sadly, they don't validate parking. I am so happy I ate at the Monroe for my last magical dining. It's been a while since I eaten there, but the food and drinks are still great. I must say the food was definitely high in calories, sugar, and fat, but it was well worth it. It's just that good in a very nice environment. Definitely will come again when I need southern comfort food! Overall: A

The server came around and took our orders, promptly brought our water every time our water was low, and checked in on us. I got the Caesar salad, the Mushroom Stroganoff and the bread pudding. All three were delicious. The salad was straightforward and was exactly what I would expect from a Caesar salad, but the stroganoff was the standout. The pasta was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The only thing I could say that would make it even better was if it was a little less salty. The mushrooms really carried through, the sauce was creamy, and the micro greens helped brighten up the brown color palate. The desert, I love bread puddings and this had a modern twist. It was served as a square, crispy on the outside, like it was deep fried, covered with cinnamon sugar, but still soft on the inside. It was almost like a bread pudding crossed with a churro, which I loved. Highly recommend, I will also say, I love all their restaurants.

We arrived around 8:15 p.m. and didn't leave until approximately 10:40 p.m. Despite being there for…read morenearly two and a half hours, our order consisted of two appetizers, an order of Brussel sprouts, two desserts, a bottle of spring water, and two virgin mojitos. For a simple meal for two people, the service was unreasonably slow throughout the evening. Our server, Svet, was polite and personable, but friendliness alone could not make up for the delays. The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol. He immediately noticed something was wrong after taking a sip and handed it to me. I tasted it as well and confirmed that it contained alcohol. Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.

Saturday night and what better place to have dinner than 60 vines!…read more Showed up around 6pm and sat at the bar. It was a first for us but will probably be our go to from here on out. The bar tenders were super attentive and the specific one who was serving us was on point. He was friendly - very attentive - even let my husband try a small sampling of their hand selected Blantons. My husband got the pork chop for dinner, which is his go to and like always it was perfectly cooked. He very rarely orders pork chops at any other restaurant that we dine at, but he always gets it here that tells you just how good it is. I stuck with my go to which is the creste de Gallo. The flavor in the dish is just so good and the portion size is perfect. Even though it's pasta, I never walk away feeling like I am completely stuffed and can't move - Unlike other pasta dishes I've had at other places.
