A La Cart City is the newest location in the A La Cart family. While it isn't the smallest location…read more(they do have an upstairs lounge area that adds to the overall ambiance of the space), it is the most limited in food truck options as they are only hosting three eateries/food trucks at the moment - which include Red Panda Noodle, Phat Ash Bakes, and Brick & Butter. Now, diving in, I've only had food from Red Panda Noodle - which I initially discovered during Tasty Tuesdays in the Milk District. My first time having them, I fell immediately in love with their beef noodle option: Beef & Broccoli. It is flavorful and filling! The price points are standard (roughly $17.00 for the Beef & Broccoli). All other dishes are reasonably priced. As for A La Cart City as a place, it's centrally located off Orange Ave. There is PAID parking all around - sadly, unless you use the DTO promo code for a free two hours of parking, you will have to pay to park just about anywhere in Downtown Orlando. Parking is ample, but it can get pricey depending on when / where you park. There is ample seating downstairs and upstairs. It is service animal-friendly. They have a large screen for viewing sports or displaying any video (if you reserve the space for an event). The staff is kind, attentive, and helpful. They have a decent (not super large, but decent nonetheless) beer and wine selection. Price points are comparable to the other A La Cart locations. The overall location is great in the sense that it's a great spot to start a "bar-hop" vibe and make your way down into the thick of DTO. All in all, I am a fan of all three A La Cart lcoations. Also, did I mention, it is a great little spot for events! So, definitely visit them if you have not already.

The inside was nice, I liked the layout of the dining room , you didn't feel like you were on top of everyone. I had to give this place a 3 because the food was just ok. Nothing wowed me. I had the grouper and it was rather bland until I squeezed the lemon over it and even then it didnt taste that great. Although, I tried my friends chicken picatta and that was juicy and flavorful. We got theshort rib chips and mussels as apps and they were not great. The mussels were extra fishy and mushy and the short ribs were gray and didn't look appetizing. It just threw me off. I would probably only come back for the drinks which were delicious. The peach rita was sooo good. As well as the old fashioned. The espresso martini wasn't my favorite but the bartender offered to remake it to my liking which I greatly appreciated. The dessert was pretty good but kinda tasted like Publix chocolate cake, but I'm not mad at that. The key lime pie was good as well, but if you don't like lime zest I wouldn't recommend it. I really wanted to like this place but the food was just subpar. I would go back for the drinks or happy hour. They have weekly specials that looked good . The staff was so attentive and friendly and made up for the food.

4 Stars for location, location, location!…read more Eola House is a historic 1924 house-turned-rental space owned by the city, right by Lake Eola. It may seem like an odd sight in the middle of the park, but in fact it used to exist in a line of historic homes that were taken down for the park expansion. Now it sits alone, right off of the walking path surrounding the Lake. The home is lovely and features a sunroom, living room, parlor, outdoor terrace, upstairs area with a balcony, bridal changing room, and more. Recently I went for a lunch meeting in their upstairs space, the Summerlin Room ($75/hr rental with a 2 hr min). It was a lovely spot and fit our group of fifteen perfectly. I'll admit that I had been to the house once before to help with another event and the room wasn't set to the specifications agreed upon so we had to move and reset the chairs and tables right before the meeting. I remember the event organizer was quite annoyed... Hopefully it was a fluke! Side note- There is no elevator and the stairs are quite narrow. This is worth mentioning in case your event includes someone with mobility issues or who uses a wheelchair. As I was heading out I stopped in a room by the front and appreciated the array of pamphlets set up- ranging from history of the house to an Orlando biking map. There were also tourist pamphlets with the typical attractions (presumably for out of town guests of weddings of meetings). Overall, this is a beautiful meeting/event space that is priced reasonably and located in the heart of the city.

You really can't get a more picturesque spot than this. On the day we visited the flowers were blooming and swans wandered the grounds. Today the house is owned by the City of Orlando and they rent it for reasonable rates for private events like parties and weddings. A full listing of the prices can be found on their website. In addition the house has a welcome center and park offices. On the day I visited the house was closed and I could only peak through the windows. This looks like a fabulous venue for weddings and outdoor parties on the lawn.

A wedding was shut down by the police because of their napoleon complex having security guard. I am utterly DISGUSTED with this place. I repeat, DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE!

I've had the pleasure of attending a yoga event as well as a salsa event at The Balcony and both times I left wanting to figure out an event to host at this beautiful site. Though getting in to the building and up to the right floor is a bit of a process, the view that awaits is worth every head scratch. This is truly a Balcony, but much larger than you'd imagine. They've used the space for cocktail parties, seated dinners, weddings, fitness events, and I imagine a photo shoot or two. The space is available for rent, and I've made a point to take a tour (which you can schedule any time) to check it out when they didn't have an active event happening. The indoor space you'd walk thru for The Balcony is actually a marketing agency. I haven't been in several months, but it doesn't seem to provide a lot of weather backup space, so one thing to note. Then again, this place is so unique, you'll be convinced to cross your fingers and pray for clear skies!

It's a light, airy space with adorable, classy tea decorations. The space feels small & pretty packed in. The set menu for tea is amazing. And too much to eat a once. Very inventive flavors & beautiful presentation. The tea options are outstanding. The reservation caps out at 90 minutes, but we ended up having to make a short-notice exit about 45 mins in, so they brought containers & our check quickly. They were very accommodating & friendly. I'm definitely going to come back with a bigger group next time, but i wonder how well it'll work out because you really feel like you're on top of the other tables. They do have party rooms available, but they are vastly more expensive than sitting in the main room. Hopefully my thoughts on the space don't overshadow the experience itself, I really enjoyed my time there & fully intend to go back a lot!
