Elite guests receive a free full breakfast buffet. John the barkeep in the evenings was quite good in mule and margarita making. Drinks are expectedly somewhat pricy compared to outside establishments but worth it with the ability to bring your beverages back to your room. If you opt to stay at UCF Courtyard, Recommend that you check out the Bistro Bar for a quick bite and drinks.

The place was clean and did not have any seafood smell to it. Sometimes you never know with a seafood boil type place. This time I got the catfish basket with fries. The pieces of catfish were very good. Could have used a little bit seasoning in the batter but overall good. It comes with 4 good sized pieces and a large amount of fries. The fries were a little plain and needed lots of salt and pepper. Overall good experience once again

We rly enjoyed it. They def pretty good and worth coming back!

I've been going to Aurora for a few years now, primarily for their Happy Hour. It's one of the few…read moredecent happy hours in all of Oviedo, as crazy as that is. They have a few nice craft beers on tap and the most amazing hummus platter ever. So many places give you a tiny dollop of hummus, a few crackers and if you're lucky a few cut up carrots. Not here, you get a giant amount of hummus - you get house made lavash - and you get beautiful baby medium sized carrots and all of that is only $8 on happy hour. The hummus is very flavorful with a tiny kick and the lavash is super crunchy with an amazing seasoning on it that reminds me of "everything bagel seasoning". You'll see two different pictures - these were taken a year or more apart but you can see things have barely changed. You always get the amazing crackers and carrots and a huge amount of hummus. They also have a few great wines by the glass on happy hour, some yummy sliders, and now a pepperoni pizza that looks awesome but I haven't tried yet.

Dined here for the first time with a group of about 12 in the private room. I gotta admit, service…read morewas slow, especially when we were checking out and it was a company dinner so there was only 1 credit card to run which took about 30 mins. Other than that, the food was great. I sampled a few items of the apps that people ordered. From what I can remember, the truffle fries really stood out. For my entree, I got the chopped elk medium cooked. It was fantastic. Very delicious and almost tasted like a really beefy meatloaf. Not gamey at all. The sauce drizzled on it was so savory. I wished there were more mashed potatoes underneath because those were amazing too. It was also a very big portion. Definitely recommend. Would come back again and try something else or even order that again.

First off, I want to give a HUGE thank you to the Cooper's Hawk Team for making my birthday feel so…read morespecial. My friend treated me to a birthday lunch this week and when we got to the table, the staff had a birthday card waiting for me! How thoughtful! We came during happy hour and decided to try a few small plates and drinks. The Egg Rolls are a must! They were packed with flavor and a variety of ingredients. My friend especially loved the shrimp. We also tried the quesadillas and sliders on the happy hour menu. Both dishes tasted incredible! Sadly, though the happy hour has half priced apps, the plates are also half sized. They were absolutely delicious, but the dishes felt overpriced for the portion size. As for drinks, I tried the sangria flight. I wasn't expecting such a full portion size and was pleasantly surprised with that. I did, however, only find 2 of the 4 drinks to be especially tasty. I wouldn't order that flight again, but would be interested in their wine offerings. I loved the low lighting in the space as it set such a calm and laid back mood. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and especially loved the food! Totally recommend.

I'm not big on wine, so a winery aspect is kind of wasted on me, but the food was tasty and came out quickly. The server was friendly and helpful. I'd go back again for dinner and try out their brunch sometime.

Orders all came correctly. The drinks were timely and the food came quickly and correctly. The menu has many options and everything looked delicious. I have to go back to try their birria. Price wise, it's slightly more expensive than your run-of-the mill place but it was worth every penny. They had happy hour even though it was a holiday and that was an added bonus. The plates were made decently sized but my burrito was huge! I ended up taking it home and having it the next day. Definitely a good place to go. It's fairly sized so getting in groups shouldn't be a problem but also a good time for a date night.

Tasted fine nothing extraordinary , the pork belly was a little dry and chewy. The ground beef was better. Likely I will not order this again, if I ever go back . The atmosphere is good especially for drinks and nice servers. The tacos at Island Thyme Caribbean are so much bigger and better and much more filling , two tacos will fill you up and cost you $11 with tax. And 4Rivers 3 tacos brisket are excellent at $10. Seems the non Mexican restaurants make better tacos. They also told me if I wanted onions and tomatoes and lettuce I have to pay $1 more per taco. That's usually free everywhere else.

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.
