    Food quantity: 9/10 Food quality: 7/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Overall rating: 8.5/10 Decent vibe, valet parking is expensive though. About $18 for 2 hours during the week.

    Not too many but good options for breakfast. Everything was fresh, tasty and arrived pretty fast. The customer service was also excellent and the interior design was beautiful. We would definitely come back again!

    Fun!

    Well they certainly don't need another glowing review singing their praises, yet here I am, compelled to write because the brunch experience is so wonderful. I hadn't been here since before pandemic, so I hoped the restaurant was still on their game. I needn't have been concerned! From arrival, to seating, to service, to selection, all top notch. Carving station. Fresh crepes. Omelette station. WALL of deserts. Full raw bar. Crab legs. Mimosas. Great selection of traditional breakfast options and salads. If you are not satisfied here, give up (smile)!! And the topper was the live jazz trio playing in the beautifully sunlit rotunda surrounded by all of the aforementioned delicacies. Expensive, but well worth it to treat yourself occasionally.

    We went on Sunday for their $78 brunch buffet, which includes bottomless mimosas. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and really made the experience feel special. There was also live jazz playing near the buffet, which added such a nice, relaxing vibe. Parking downtown can be tricky, so we used the hotel valet, but there are nearby garages as well if you prefer to self-park. The buffet was phenomenal. My favorites were the mac and cheese, prime rib, shrimp (they were HUGE), crab legs, and the tableside cinnamon bun dessert -- honestly worth the trip just for that. My only downside was that the oysters didn't taste very fresh. Overall, the ambiance was beautiful and it's a perfect brunch spot for a date or a family outing. Definitely a lovely Sunday experience!

    You guys Dropped the Ball, ROYALLY! And, now definitely not going there to see the ball drop for NYE (and it was highly considered initially)! Bad first impression - While walking in, a couple walking out asked if we're going to the restaurant and warned us - good luck with getting our food hot because theirs came out cold! Ok wow... I'm already weary about eating there on a holiday and haven't stepped 1 foot into building yet! I will say it's a nice looking hotel with creative flooring, chandeliers, chairs, curtains, drapes, beams, booths, etc Note on the 2nd door in the ladies restroom does not close properly - Have to pull extremely hard to close and kick it out to get out! Upon arriving, the hosts walked us over to a tiny table with plenty of empty spacious comfy booths all around. I asked for a comfy booth instead. The host said he'll have to check the front so we can wait there but decided to walk up to the front and check out the pianist and bar instead. He later was able to sit us at a booth and I realized the whole time being there that the booths never got filled up - French onion was tasty but overly salty - Short rib bourguignon (it's spelled incorrect on their menu - spelled as Short rib bourguinon) was almost hard as a rock and not soft or falling apart easily like how I would want my short rib, overly salty and not enough sauce. Risotto was more of a porridge and overly cooked with minimal mushroom influence like it was mentioned by the server - Chicken fricassée was cooked nicely, still a heavy hand on the salt but the least out of all the dishes, mushroom and kale arrangement was placed neatly Ordered the Misfit - Casamigo Reposado tequila espresso martini but with Vodka instead of Tequila. This is important to word bc this is where they totally lost repeating customers to this restaurant! I asked the host about how their new year's eve party was like and he didn't know so I asked if he could send out the manager to speak to get more info about it. Freddy, the manager, who I couldn't tell he was the manager bc he looked so casual in his t-shirt in this nice establishment when the 2 male hosts were dressed to match the upscale ambiance in a suits. When asking about how the NYE party goes, it seemed more like of a sales pitch to do VIP bc it's just better to have a seat bc there's no other seating This is where the the ball Dropped kept snowballing into a bigger ball drop, aside from all the lil hiccups: We wanted to get the Misfit ($18) drink and instead of tequila we wanted VODKA. Leo, the server, said he suggested a replacement for a drink we were ordering but didn't tell us the price increase for their "espresso martini" that was upcharged to be $21 bc of the "fresh espresso" in that drink that we were told later on. I couldn't believe that a 1.5-2.0 ounce of "fresh espresso" actually costs more than Casamigo Reposado tequila! If I wanted the fresh espresso drink then I would have just ordered the $18 tiramisu martini with the fresh espresso that I actually overheard the other server mention to her table at the beginning of her newly sat customers Note - this whatever "fresh espresso" actually tasted disgusting bc we got the brandy espresso drink upstairs and that same bad espresso taste was still there Altira, their upstairs pool, not rooftop, area had the Mistletoe Brew cocktail for $18 - Courvoisier VS, Luxardo Espresso, Espresso, Simple. Why isn't that and the tiramisu cocktail $21 if that's what you charge for with espresso?!? The mistletoe drink has both espresso and espresso liquer! And with Courvoisier! Went to ask the manager and the server about the confusion of our check bc the martini didn't say the correct price and they both said they'll fix it but came back explaining that since we got the misfit cocktail with vodka, that it was supposed to be charged as an espresso martini with fresh espresso and not with espresso liquer even though Casamigo Reposado is definitely more costly! Now since they both didn't want fix the issue anymore, I asked for $3 so that we can just get charged for what was ordered in the 1st place. Freddy said no and placed the check right in front of us trying to make us pay the incorrect charged checked! RUDE AF! I wasn't even going to mention to him that the service was slow and lacking and the food was overly salted but I did after he did that and he was still rude and did not want to take off just $3! WTF. Terrible customer service on his part and he clearly does not care for service recovery for repeating customers!!! They charge Automatic gratuity. This manager completely screwed over the server's tip by not taking off the $3 from the incorrect drink. This is a rare occurrence that I had to ask for the removal of that auto gratuity and leave nothing! Actually I did leave in huge disappointment with the place! And it was Thanksgiving! Their prix fixe looked inadequate and unappealing thus why we ordered from the regular menu

    I came here for Sunday Jazz brunch. For the price you can't beat it! I mean you get your typical breakfast foods. You get clams, mussels, and oysters. Crab legs are an option. They have homemade crepes. You get chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and pastries. They even have a carving station. Oh yeah it comes with mimosas! A couple of things that kept it from being a 5-star for me. The food was all too cold. I didn't ding them too much since it's really difficult to regulate temperature at a Buffet but some of the coldest I've had. The chicken tenders were a bit chewy. The crepe station should have sweet AND savory options. However, the service here was PHENOMENAL! Everyone made us feel right at home. The ambiance here with the live music was to die for. There is literally someone there playing the grand piano while you dine. And the restaurant looks like it belongs in a magazine

    We went for appetizers before a show at Dr Phillips Performing Arts Center. This is right across the street. The bar area is really nice and quaint. The inconvenient part is that they lock the door that walks you right into the bar, so you have to walk all around to the other side to get in. We had a brisket flatbread that was very disappointing. It had brisket which was very dry with a texture of hay. It didn't have much flavor at all. I had a cosmo which was good and my husband had an old fashion which he said was just ok. The server we had was very overwhelmed and her service showed that.

    This is amazing place. We went after church and they have a breakfast buffet brunch Sooo many choices and options for breakfast and dinner. They have your routine breakfast option such as bacon, egg, omelet station, donuts and many more. They have a variety of seafood selection ie mussels, clams and crabs. The service was amazingly fast and over the top. The ambiance is so versatile. You can come in casually or dressy. The place is huge and has different sections. I heard they can accommodate a really big crowd. Definitely, a place to come back for.

    This was an amazing stay and close to everything in the downtown Orlando area. The hotel is stunning and the rooftop pool and bar are serene. There's a gorgeous lounge, a gourmet restaurant, and a piano bar. You could spend the whole weekend without even leaving. But if you do decide to go out, you only need to walk to get to everything interesting in downtown Orlando. Service was spectacular. We will definitely be back.

    Celebrated my mom's 65th birthday at the beautiful Boheme. Was looking for an upscale restaurant for us to enjoy post Christmas and it did not disappoint. We had an amazing time. From the fresh and delicious variety of food, to the swanky atmosphere, to the live music...it's a vibe! Loved the crab legs and mimosas the best but truly enjoyed everything. Really enjoyed the pianist. He even played happy birthday for my mom which was extra special! 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!

    The Boheme had a beautiful restaurant and we were so excited to have their Sunday brunch. It had everything that should be on a good Sunday brunch, including unlimited mimosas, all the breakfast stuff, prime rib, shrimp ham... I had fried chicken, which was great, crab which was a little overdone and difficult to get out of the shell, jumbo shrimp which had a little too much seasoning for me and a bunch of other things that were offered. Everything was good however I thought the price was a little much, $78 apiece. The food was good, but not phenomenal. Our waitress was great. She was definitely on top of refilling our mimosas, and she also gave us great advice of some local things to do, which we took her advice. I'm glad we tried it, but I think next time I would rather find a different option.

    I went here for dinner on a Saturday evening, and the vibes were immaculate. They had a live pianist who really said the mood as soon as we came in. Our server was super kind and friendly, he really took his time to explain each and every dish as we had a really big party. Everything that I got was delicious, but the most notable definitely had to be the Wagyu carpaccio and steak and truffle frites. Everything was cooked too perfection and you definitely can't skip out on desert either. This is perfect for a night out spot and I highly recommend it!

    Is brunch all you care to enjoy?

    Yes! Its all you can eat with a 2 hour limit like most places.

    Do you offer Mocktails? Thank you.

    I'm sure they do

    So they offer a vegetarian alternative for their Christmas Menu entree?

    They have alternate menus and staff to help you.

    How much is Sunday brunch per person? My wife and I received a $105.00 bill. $52.50 each?…

    As of January 2020 $54/per person. Tones of seafood, breakfast foods, and deserts.

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.

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.

The texture was strangely rubbery, they lacked flavor, and they weren't served very hot. After a few bites, I honestly lost my appetite and decided not to continue with the rest of the Magical Dining meal. It's unfortunate because the restaurant itself has a beautiful, lively atmosphere, and the bar experience was excellent. I really wanted to enjoy dinner as much as I enjoyed the drinks and service. Overall, 3/5. I would definitely come back for happy hour, the Espresso Martinis and bartenders alone make that worthwhile but based on the food I tried, I wouldn't rush back for dinner.

    Such a fun spot for happy hour! We came in ready to relax and left already planning our next visit…read more The drink specials were generous and the vibe was warm and lively without being too loud to actually talk. Hands down the star of the show was the shrimp dish, perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best we've had in a while. We ended up ordering a second round just to enjoy it a little longer. Service was friendly and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great happy hour with a standout menu item, The Whyskey delivers. We'll definitely be back!

    We popped over here for lunch on a Saturday around two in the afternoon. We were very surprised…read morewith how busy it was as it's typically not that busy on Saturday afternoons. We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

    The new fall menu at JW Marriott's Grande Lakes Whisper Creek Farm Kitchen really shines…read more Showcasing fresh, locally sourced produce and thoughtfully prepared seasonal dishes, the menu feels both elevated and comforting. The portions are generous, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and there's a wonderful emphasis on the flavors of the season. Whether you're looking for a leisurely, high-end lunch or a memorable dinner, Whisper Creek is a beautiful choice. The farm-to-table approach, warm atmosphere, and attention to detail make this a standout dining experience at Grande Lakes. Definitely worth a visit this fall!

    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.

    Restaurant #3 in my 2026 Magical Dining tour was this fantastic restaurant. This was my first visit…read moreto The Ravenous Pig and will not be my last. I was unable to make a reservation for this night, but walked in and was seated at the bar immediately. There are two hostess stands at this location. The first stand is at the door next to the Valet Parking stand and is for confirmed reservation seating. You are directed to walk further down the hallway towards the bar area for another separate hostess stand for walk-ins. We were seated at a nice two-top table close to the brewery room. (Note: we noticed a separate table inside the brewery which appeared to accommodate a small group and most likely requires a reservation to be seated there.) Kelly was our server and she was efficient, fun and very knowledgeable of the menu. She answered all of our questions, including explaining the ingredients of some of our selections. Our drink selections consisted of the frozen Getaway Car (vodka, sour cherry and maraschino liqueur) and the Woe Is Me martini (herb-infused Grey Goose with a pickled cherry tomato). The tomato made this martini stand out! The presentation of both drinks was memorable as was the taste of each. For our appetizers, we shared the Gatherer Salad (a zesty combination of baby greens, avocado, pickled beets, radish, goat, cheese and walnut granola with a herb vinaigrette dressing-outstanding!) and the Mushroom and Gruyère Beignets, set off by the pecorino cheese and the truffle aioli sauce. We easily could've had a second round of the beignets, but decided to go ahead and order our second course. For the second course, we shared the Pan Seared Redfish with summer vegetables, and the Steak Frites. The fish was delicate, light and the fennel broth made this dish a winner. The Steak Frites consisted of rubbed prime flat iron steak, garlic aïoli and bordelaise sauce-SO GOOD! The truffle fries were plentiful and, when combined with the sauce, resulted in a perfect accompaniment to this meal. For the final course, we shared the Black Forest Cake and the Peaches & Cream (caramelized puff pastry with peach jam, and mascarpone custard). Both desserts were the explanation points of the evening. At the end of the night, we told Kelly that we loved the combination of the "naughty and nice" pairings for this magical dining experience. (For example, the beignets and the salad, plus the redfish and the steak, allow you to both eat healthy and eat decadent.) A final shout out to the General Manager, Scott, who gave me an excellent tour of the outside beer garden (not occupied due to the rain that evening) and the major beer brewery facility next to it. TV screens are available in the garden, and would be an excellent party place for watching football this Fall. I think I have my next visit to The Ravenous Pig planned in the coming weeks. Great service and great food made this easily a 5-star evening.

    The last time I wrote a review for Ravenous Pig was back in 2012!!! I can't even believe so much…read moretime has passed, AND that they're not only still in business but have outgrown the old space they use to be at and moved into a much larger location. They even have a brewery!! It's incredible and a testament to how good they are. I was re-reading my old review and was impressed with how they've kept up with obtaining and working with local growers and butchers. I'm sure that's been a big reason behind their continued success. Our waiter Billy was excellent. We were a group of 5 having a girl's dinner. He was great at answering all our questions and recommending certain items to us. We all chose from the magical dinning menu, what a deal! We all ordered different things and they were all excellent. The gatherer salad and the beignets were our favorites for the appetizers. For the entrees; The Red fish was so delicious, but I also tried a piece of the steak frites and that was fantastic as well. The Steak was super tender. That house made pasta linguine with shrimp was incredible as well. The black forest cake dessert was really good. I like that it wasn't too sweet. I love that they continuously update their menu in accordance to what is seasonal. The only critique I have is that when we first arrived, they had trouble finding our reservation. I had to pull up the email confirmation (Which I did confirm) A confirmation that they had actually sent me the previous day. The hostess lady seemed annoyed and asked us to sit and wait while they got a table ready. We waited around 15 minutes. No big deal, but a little nerve wracking when she said: "I don't see your name here." It's a good thing I kept that email confirmation. I'm actually really looking forward to coming back and trying other things from their menu, as well as their house-brewed beer.

    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!
