They have two food trucks and a small bar that serves canned beer and seltzers. The food trucks are over priced and don't have a ton of food options. People in my party waited 45 min to an hour for our food. So if you come for an event expect long waits. I'm not sure if outside food and drink is allowed because you'd probably be better off bringing your own items while you enjoy any games that play.

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!

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!

Please arrive early so that you'll have ample time to find parking and walk to the venue incase you're not lucky enough to find close parking. When our party of five entered, we just milled around for a bit in front of the door until a hostess greeted us. It was a bit awkward, especially since there is no waiting area. Soon, we were warmly greeted and seated. Our hostess began giving us information but we couldn't hear her because her voice was soft and there are many people enjoying conversations at their own table. The noise level is medium, which is fine. I just wish she would have spoken up. You will not know the ingredients of the items that you will be served before-hand which could potentially be bad for those with allergies. When were served our tier of food, there was an insect in our food. I was shocked when the hostess began using her fingers in the food to try and fish out the rapidly moving insect. I quietly suggested that she bring us a fresh tier of food. I guess she was just following her first instinct to "get the bug". A fresh tier of food was brought, but honestly, the scones tasted stale. The bread on the finger sandwiches wasn't very fresh either. Some of the desserts had a strong artificial taste. Overall, the food was surprisingly underwhelming, and some offerings were tasteless and not very fresh. I received the wrong tea and it took a long time to get that corrected. We were instructed to turn our teapot lid over if we wanted more tea, but it seemed to be a futile effort since no one was coming to check on us. I literally had to raise my hand to get attention for our party of 5 on multiple occasions. The table decor was beautiful and thoughtful. There were a good variety of teas offered. I don't think I'll return.

The wallpaper and attention to detail in all of the fixtures to the color palate is just breathtaking. Unfortunately I have not attended an event here yet but I plan on it ASAP. I was given a private tour of everything from the two dedicated and passionate owners. The space is on the second floor of The Sanctuary near Lake Eola and can host anything from a wedding to a cocktail hour to a board meeting. Literally, everything is in place to hold a spectacular event here. The lighting, the tables, the chairs, everything can be run from the back of the house, the loading area is convenient, everything to make a top notch, glamourous gathering. Being an event planner and experiencing sound quality issues at other event venues, the sound system is built in here with such precision that 80% of the music is output on the dance floor and 20% around the perimeter so conversations can take place and when announcements are made, the output reverses. Genius. This space is truly something to be experienced to get the full effect of it's beauty and forward thinking flow. Make sure to look into this space if you are planning any event and you want to make it outstanding.

This review is for the venue, not the performance which was 5 stars and we really enjoyed it. The men's restroom was clean. However, I was informed the women's restroom from the very beginning (10pm performance) was out of toilet tissue and hand towels. Parking was minimal immediately around the venue, so unless you get there early (also depending on the day of the week) plan to park a few blocks away. We had to, but the walk seemed safe which is always a plus. We'd return to this venue should something we want to watch pops up.
