Spectacular dessert: Affogato panna cotta!
Kitty D.

Lovely Winter Park hotel dining room with an ambitious menu. Acoustically a bit noisy, servers competent but not as attentive as they could be. Fresh fish usually a good option.

Truffle fries

Food was yummy and the ambiance was good for a date night. Nice hotel to walk around with lots of art displayed.

Shrimp tacos

Great food and they had a saxophonist playing on the patio. Not sure if they do that every Sunday but it was a great

-Magical Dining 2025- Hamilton's Kitchen was my kickoff to MD 2025 and was a lovely start! We were excited about the well varied menu and came ready to sample the variety. I personally went with Caesar Salad for the starter which is my lowest scoring plate from the evening. Honestly lacking flavor and the one anchovy atop the dish felt misplaced. I prefer its presence in the dressing. But the lentil soup and grilled peach burrata plates were much better. If I were to get a do over, I'd go burrata. Better flavor throughout. As far as main plates, I was very satisfied with the airline chicken. The entire dish felt well executed and the sides paired nicely. The salmon was also exceptional and came with one of the tastiest sauces I've ever had! Dessert was my favorite and I stand firm in my choice to go with the bread pudding which was served perfectly warm with some berries for freshness. The portion was so generous as were all of the plates served! This is definitely one of the better valued options as far as magical dining is concerned. I really enjoyed Hamilton's Kitchen and look forward to returning. The service was friendly and I did enjoy the atmosphere inside although look forward to dining on the expansive outdoor patio during the cooler months!

1 year later we are back, but probably never again. This place really went downhill in 1 years time. The Cesar salad and pasta dish were too salty, the chicken entree had no flavor, was luke warm, and dry. The salmon was good, I was told and while the shrimp and scallops tasted good going down, I was sick 3 times later that night. The sticky toffee pudding was neither sticky nor toffee, it was 3 small slices of raisin like bread with raisins and a smear of cream. Totally underwhelming for $10! Service and ambiance were good, but not worth the price and disappointing food!

After reading the reviews I was glad I'm not alone on this. The food and the service really wasn't on par with what the price is. I walked in on Mother's Day and sat at the bar. The bartender was very cold. Nice, but not a smile or a friendly remark when I tried to talk to her . My date wanted a table but since it was res only , we ended up at the bar. I ordered three proccezcos for our lunch with was probably my favorite thing. It was nice ! But that's kinda where everything stopped . We ordered the fried green tomatoes and we got it and there was no goat cheese so we alerted the bartender and she said they made the wrong one. She apologized and it was fine- we received our new dish and it barely had goat cheese on it at all. The menu boasted whipped goat cheese like it would be in abundance. The dish was good, just wasn't what we were expecting. For our main, I ordered a crab cake Benedict that just wasn't good. It was really salty and the crab cake had no flavor. My date got the braised short rib that was just ok. For the price, I was expecting more flavor. Around us it seemed as if people were having their own issues. One guy at the bar was fuming about waiting for his check. There were multiple people who asked for dinner menus that had to wait for more to be printed. And a couple asking where their food was with the excuse being "they're turning the kitchen over for dinner so it might be a while but I'll go check" One reviewer had said it seemed like the wait staff didn't care whether their guests were happy and I will say I 100% agree with that. When I'm at the bar , I dont want to be treated cooly. Bring in someone who is nice and jovial who makes me want to stay.

Steak frites
Arthur B.

I had lunch at The Hamilton Kitchen at the Alfond Inn in Winter Park today for a work gathering, and it delivered a solid experience. The space itself is impressive: big table, great energy, and a staff that actually pays attention. Service was smooth and courteous despite the size of our group, which is always a good sign. For my main lineup, I started with the avocado toast, and this was easily one of the standouts. Thick, hearty wheat bread topped with rich avocado, Maldon sea salt, sweet peppers, and corn. Visually sharp, genuinely delicious, and surprisingly balanced. The side Caesar didn't quite match the enthusiasm. Iceberg with bits of romaine, anchovy-forward dressing (a win), but it leaned a bit sad with crumb-style croutons and barely any parmesan. Edible, not memorable. The steak frites brought me back. Fries were terrific--crispy, truffled just right. The steak sat on a bed of arugula with chimichurri that had good character but could've used a little more salt to really wake it up. Still, it was cooked to temp and enjoyable. Dessert was the bread pudding, and that one hit the mark. Warm, comforting, dressed with a cream sauce and a berry compote, with fresh fruit on top. Easily my favorite part of the meal. All in, I'd give The Alfond Inn a 7/10. I'd return, especially for that avocado toast and bread pudding. The only real downside is the parking and traffic near Rollins--it gets congested fast around rush hour, which takes a bit of shine off the experience. But I'll be back.

Magical Dining didn't disappoint. And the $30 bottle of Decoy Cabernet was a nice bonus. The food was prepared perfectly and hot. Service was friendly and the atmosphere can't be beat.

Eater Brunch was at Hamilton's Kitchen this year. It's located in downtown Winter Park on the campus of Rollins College, which is a gorgeous area. We made a reservation well in advance but to our surprise, it wasn't overly busy. For an appetizer, we had the breakfast breads to share. Another individual ordered a separate appetizer, and it arrived well before the breads. Our server forgot and we had to remind him. Once they finally arrived, they were delicious. For entrees, 3 of us had the salmon and enjoyed it. The Halmet was also popular, as well as the Cobb salad with grilled chicken. The food was all plated beautifully. For the price and experience, the service could have been much better overall. But the food was delicious.

Butterscotch Pot De Creme
Rob S.

Yum. We had a great meal here recently. We started with a Burrata and Fig Salad, Brussel Sprouts and Beet Salad, and Buttery Cornbread. Next came an exceptional Sauteed Faroe Islands Salmon with a great Succotash (with a bit of Okra). The fish was crispy and cooked just right - still moist inside. My friend had what they called an America Peking Duck. They also called it a Duck Breast Confit. I don't understand the choices of names, but my friend thought it was delicious. Then we split a huge bowl of the McCallan 12 Yr Butterscotch Pot De Creme with large chunks of Toffee. So good. Brian was very good at service. We'll be back.

Roasted "Airline" Chicken
Mallory B.

This restaurant is always beautiful on the inside. It has such a warm, inviting atmosphere. The Magical Dining menu is unbeatable in both value and variety. I started with the Caesar salad, which was fresh and well-balanced. For the main course, I had the salmon with corn succotash. It was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Dessert was the butterscotch pudding, rich and satisfying without being too heavy. Service was attentive throughout the meal, making the whole experience even better. I always recommend this place! It is consistently excellent.

Airline Roasted Chicken
Jenn P.

Magical Dining was excellent. 5 star experience from beginning to end. The drinks are well made. Recommend the Park Ave Pearl and the Espresso Martini The live music and complimentary valet service are also a nice bonus.

Maria P.

An oldie but a goodie. Came in for brunch and our waitress, Mrs. Sarah, delivered great service! Our bottle of champagne was divine, and the food was fresh and cooked well. I'll be back soon. Didn't get a picture of it, but the French toast that I shared with my brunch mate was fantastic. I'm not typically a French toast fanatic, but I'll come back for more if they keep it up.

See all

We had the room reserved for a large party of 16. It was the perfect set up. The service was amazing and the food was even better!

Weekend only for brunc. Lunch and breakfast daily.plan on at least $10 for a mimosa. Hamilton’s Kitchen is not worth the money. Try Luma, Proto, or 310 Park.

Brunch Review 2026!…read more It's a Saturday in late April 2026 and the Orlando Magic are taking on the #1 rated Detroit Pistons! My brother and I deliberate days before on meeting up and with little hesitation, we opted for the Ravenous Pig! Securing a table reservation we instead opted to sit on the pub side where the TVs are. Soon after sitting down, we were greeted by Christina who was our server for the afternoon! Now this is Brunch Mode at the Ravenous Pig with a brunch style menu and beautiful rays on Sunshine which can feel quite different if you're used to having meals or drinks here for dinner where it can be quite busier and a different vibe! Today's visit was comfortable in the pub, lite in the dining room floor and nearly full outside in the beer garden. I settled in with the current version of the Gin and Jam! It tends to change as products become available with the underlying truth being a lite and refreshing cocktail to start with. This version is well done overall! Food wise we started with the Croquettes which had a sausage in them which brought good flavor paired with the crunchy exterior and white sauce on the plate resulted in an appetizing dish. Continuing on, the Sparkling Tea on menu is fantastic! As a side beverage or even mocktail form, it's a great Bev. We went with that and with the Magic game about to start, I went with the IT GOES TO ELEVEN cocktail! Boozy, Bright and Veracious! With these drinks in hand, we decided to move forward with more food and after consulting with Christina, we went with the Huckleberry pancake and the miso butter ribs. Without a doubt, the Huckleberry pancake was the standout star of the two dishes! A light pancake with great flavor and depth that doesn't fill you up but is a great sweeter dish that I can see Incorporated with a more savory brunch item like bacon and eggs as an example. Overall a great time for brunch! Shout out to Brian, Costa (the GOAT) and Scott for keeping it real and just being great individuals overall!

The snapper collar tacos were the star of the show. Easily enough to share between two people, with fresh fish and really good homemade corn tortillas. The fish of the day was also excellent and the fresh ciabatta with garlic butter was hard to stop eating. The cauliflower appetizer missed the mark a bit for me, the pieces were a little too big and came out slightly undercooked. The chicken salad was just alright, nothing bad but nothing memorable either. Parking can be a little tough in the area, but the complimentary valet makes it much easier. I love that they have a quicker option out back with the beer garden, you can't go wrong!

Out front there is a large grass area for kids to play around and is great for families. We were sat right away inside. To start, we enjoyed some pretzel bites that came with a side of cheese sauce. They were yummy but could have used more salt. For my entrée, I ordered The Hangry Bird. It's a turkey burger with bacon, cheese, guacamole, banana peppers, and other toppings. It was pretty messy to eat but had great flavors. My boyfriend built his own burger which you can find on the back of the menu. The fries were crispy and they gave you so much in a side order. We both ended up having leftovers to bring home. Solid food. The inside of the restaurant is decorated cute with industrial vibes and lighting. There is a full liquor bar inside. Many people around us were ordering the smoked old fashion so that must be a popular item. I would definitely dine here again.

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.

Everything tasted fresh, well thought out, and higher quality than your typical tavern-style restaurant. The appetizers were packed with flavor, the cocktails were balanced perfectly, and the entrees felt genuinely chef-driven instead of just standard bar food. You can tell they actually care about presentation and consistency here. The portions were solid too, especially considering the quality of the ingredients and overall experience. What really made the experience stand out though was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu without hovering too much. Even while busy, everything moved smoothly and the restaurant still felt relaxed. It's the kind of place that feels polished but still comfortable enough to become a regular spot. Definitely one of the better restaurants in the SoDo area and a place that deserves the hype it gets.
