    Smash burger with curly fries
    Alison D.

    A great local spot that combines the work of some local favorite businesses! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We've been a few times and love sitting on the patio, especially when there's live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The smash burgers are some of the best I've had, and curly fries are a perfect touch. Loved the biscuit with honey butter as a starter. The smoked wings were just okay-- texture was a little rubbery and not the best. The chicken sandwich is also a hit. Decent beer and cocktail selection! My boyfriend loves the coffee ale and I like trying the seasonal sour, which has been good both times. Love that you can grab foxtail or Kelly's ice cream if you're in the mood too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went once and sat outside and had a great time, but the next time we went and sat inside and the vibes were a little off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Granted, it was a Sunday evening, but there was hardly anyone there and then the music playing inside was more coffee house and less bar vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I know they also have a foxtail in there but at some point in the day the music should probably switch over. Either way, I still recommend this spot, it's just a shame that the location isn't nicer to enjoy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love sitting on the patio but it's really just a view of the parking lot and busy street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be back though as it's a solid place to go on a Friday or Saturday evening

    I so love this place, but only because when my and my significant other, there's always this one female bartender who makes my drink just the way I like it. She's so sweet and gets your order in as soon as possible. She's also so so proactive everytime I see here, love a woman on business lol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I typically sit at the bar before I head to work myself and it's such a nice and quiet hour settling down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is also Kellys Ice Cream and Foxtail within this place :)!

    Whiskey Sour & Cocktail

    Went for happy hour on a thursday and had zero complaints! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It wasn't busy so we were able to enjoy the porch to ourselves![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order up front and they bring you the food & drinks quickly to your table. I ordered a Whiskey sour which was the $8 "Drink of the Day", the happy hour 1 smash burger and half order of the cob salad. The meal was great! No complaints! There's also Kelly's Icecream in the same location- perfect for a sweet treat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms were clean, staff was super friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A nice place to go with larger groups too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Stopped in for a coffee and a tea with my partner as we love Foxtail Coffee. What I saw when I walked in was a lot out front that place not only has a Foxtail coffee but they serve food and have a Kelly's ice cream as well as a full bar with liquor, beer and wine looking around and [[HIGHLIGHT]]talking with the barista I found out they also have game night and trivia night so I thought this would be a really cool place to come with your friends and pregame since it's right downtown not far from the 50 Mills area as well as downtown Orlando and Southern Nights Orlando.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This time around I got the peach tea which was pretty yummy, but I definitely recommend adding some sugar for natural sweetener if that's your thing because it comes natural. I will leave another review soon when I go check it out with friends.

    Grabbed a smash burger at Milkhouse, and it seriously hit. Super flavorful patty, excellent crust, and the house-made sauce really tied everything together. The pickles tasted house-made too, which is always a good sign and added the right punch of acidity. The whole experience felt artisan without being pretentious--quality ingredients, done right. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere fits the Milk District perfectly, and the location makes it an easy stop whether you're already nearby or intentionally heading over.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Solid food, great vibe, and definitely a place I'll be going back to.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in the Milk District is The Milkhouse, such a fun and unique spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you walk in, there's a bar where you can order drinks and food, and on the right side you'll find Foxtail Coffee and Kelly's Ice Cream inside, which makes it feel like a little mini food hall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I sat at the bar and ordered a pumpkin espresso martini, and it was so good, definitely one of my favorites! For food, I got a burger, which was okay overall, though the bun seemed a bit stale. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe here is really cute and relaxed, and I could totally see myself coming back to study, grab a drink, and have a bite to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a great neighborhood spot with lots of potential![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Fried pickles
    Ginnie R.

    Popped in to Milkhouse for a quick business meeting and happy hour with a friend. We sat at the bar for Swine and Sons. Service was great! Food delicious. We had the fried pickles. Prices acceptable, especially for happy hour. It is a conglomeration of different eateries so if you aren't sure what you want to eat -- no problem. You will find something to satisfy your culinary itch. Perfect for those who are less decisive! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is in close proximity to the Plaza. I actually went to a concert afterwards. I would say that it isn't necessary to walk but I like walking so I guess it worked out but I would keep an eye out since the neighborhood is more 'urban' and there are a couple of cars nearby so imo that can attract some undesired activity later in the evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is limited but you can find something on the street. Great spot for a date. Lots to do nearby. You can shoot pool at Sportstown or play darts. Hit up the bars. The choice is yours!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped in on Valentine's Day during the night for a few drinks and even though the spot was busy, the service was attentive and the staff were friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had live music til 10 pm and it was a nice touch while still being easy to hear our conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks are amazing! I got the espresso martini and a coconut seasonal cocktail (sorry I can't remember the name). They also have a Kelly's homemade ice cream for that sweet tooth craving. Definitely a spot I'll return to.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean, fantastic service, and delicious food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Layla was extremely nice and accommodating. The happy hour menu is an amazing deal. I ordered crispy pickles, 2x curly fries, 3 single sliders, and 1 hot chicken slider. This was more than enough food for two people. They do not skimp at Swine & Sons. Note: the "single" slider is actually a DOUBLE PATTY singular slider...yum! The hot chicken slider was so crispy and juicy, I personally loved it more than the burger even though the burger was so delicious. Curly fries were very well seasoned and pickles were perfectly briny. Food came out quick. I would 100% come back, small but extremely mighty happy hour menu. Where else would you go to feed two for ~$35, with leftovers?

    Overall experience was great. I was a little perplexed when I first came in. I didn't see the sign for self seating. The wait wasn't too long and the staff was great. Our server was so kind and brought pickled veggies with our burgers to try. Surprisingly the pickled carrots and cauliflower are great. If you have the chance try it on the side with your burger. The food came our hot and fresh. The burger was moist and juicy. The fries were also perfect. Though they are not on the crispy side, I prefer them that way but my friend wanted them more crispy.

    Lavender Matcha Latte
    Elease S.

    Decided to kick off my 2025 food tour with a local favorite: Milkhouse. I've been a fan of Milkhouse since day one. The staff is great. Service is speedy - even at busier times - and the overall atmosphere is very nice. It has a modern barn house / rustic feel to it with ample seating. There's also ample outdoor seating - which is typically where I like to sit. Also, Milkhouse, houses a Foxtail Coffee and Kelly's Ice Cream - both of which I've enjoyed individually at their stand alone shoppes and satellite shops. As far as the food and drinks go, I have yet to have anything that wasn't good. My usual is their wedge salad with a glass of wine, however, I decided to try their deviled egg toast. I also paired it with a lavender matcha latte. The lavender matcha latte was DELICIOUS!! I am kicking myself for not ordering another one to go! And the deviled egg toast was pretty good too. I wish the egg were seasoned just a tad more - I LOVE deviled eggs and can honestly eat them at any given moment. Outside of that, it was good and filling. Price points are reasonable across the board for food and beverages. It was a nice lunch date with myself! And I'll continue to be a BIG FAN of Milkhouse. I always recommend this spot and I can't wait to see how their menu changes per season because they do offer seasonal selections. All in all, GO! You won't regret it!

    I stopped in for a quick lunch bite and the server recommended their chicken sandwich when I asked. Unfortunately, the chicken was quite bland despite having what present as a well seasoned crunch coating. The pickles and the fries were very good but the food was underwhelming at best. I went on a weekday a shortly after 11 and I was the only one inside when I arrived but the patio seemed busy. The server was attentive and helpful when I asked questions.

    Fantastic drinks. Very comfortable, relaxing vibes…read more Good music. And delicious food. Definitely worth visiting, Noir.

    Noir Bar is definitely one of my top BARS to visit on my short list of bars I enjoy immensely. I've…read morebeen coming since it opened, and I really cannot say I've been disappointed. The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.

I was given a menu that highlighted some of their rotating seasonal drinks. I was surprised to see drink prices at $15 & $16. I know downtown that would not be unusual, but I assumed since this was pretty far out east it might be a few dollars cheaper. Still, I understand you get what you pay for an they bar seemed to have many top shelf brands and a good selection to boot. There were a few tables with people, and I noticed a few more seemed to be working on their laptops so great idea if you would rather work with a beer or glass of wine instead of a coffee.

Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list.

With the way he approached us and was completely impatient, we were a little turned off and left. Which lost them money on our entire group. He followed us out the door as we left. It was a weird experience especially when there was literally no one else in there. The music was good but I doubt and of us will to back based on that experience alone.

They were very bland, weak, and sweet. For $10 happy hour getting a sus drink that tasted like melted ice- big nope. I will never be going back.

    This was our second visit to the Monroe and it was enjoyable. This time the service was slightly…read moreslow, we had drinks that we didn't like and it took about 20 minutes for our server to return to the table to get orders for new drinks. We ordered the buffalo chicken egg rolls and the deviled eggs (with no bacon) as appetizers. For our new drinks we got margaritas, I got a regular margarita and my partner got a passion fruit margarita. For entrees, I had the famous fried chicken and my hubby had the meatloaf. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, relaxed, they keep the shades lowered during the day to reduce that sun intake and it's lovely. It feels nice and relaxed in here no matter the weather outside. Again, we enjoyed the experience but the service was fairly slow. We had to pretty much know what we wanted by the next time we saw our server or flag her down to get her attention. She was waiting about 4 tables on our area. We were party of two.

    Delicious food!! My husband made reservations and surprised me for dinner. First time here and we…read moregot LOVED IT!! The vibe was immaculate. The drinks were great and the food was soo good that we still talk about it days later. He loved the bone marrow. Steak was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. The cake was not my favorite at all. It took way too long to come out and it came out very cold. Not much chocolate flavor, too much salt. It was missing something. We will skip dessert next time.

    Otto High Dive was our next stop on my Magical Dining tour, and wow, what an experience!…read more My sister and brother-in-law were visiting, so we made reservations (definitely recommend). Parking was easy with free spots in the back and additional street parking. We were a little unsure where the entrance was at first, but a staff member outside noticed and guided us right in small detail, big impact. Once inside, we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. The restaurant was lively and busy in the best way. It's an intimate space, but beautifully styled very much giving South Beach energy. Our waiter, Louis, truly elevated the experience. He introduced himself, explained the menu thoroughly, and made great recommendations. We opted for the Magical Dining $40 three-course menu along with the $30 drink pairing, which included a drink for each course such a great value. My meal: * Appetizer: Fresh ceviche with tuna, avocado, and watermelon light, flavorful, and unique * Drink: Floridian Slip refreshing and perfectly balanced * Entrée: Ropa Vieja - rich, tender, and paired perfectly with rice, beans, and Cuban bread * Drink: Funky - fruity with a nice kick * Dessert: Maduro Bread Pudding - sweet, warm, and indulgent * Drink: Coquito - smooth and the perfect ending Every single course was thoughtfully prepared, and the drink pairings complemented each dish beautifully. Overall, everything from service to ambiance to food was amazing. I'm already planning a return visit to try their happy hour menu!

    I'm really glad we tried this place, but probably won't be in a rush to come back anytime soon…read more The parking is a tight shared lot, so you might get lucky and find a spot, or park across the street and walk over like we did. Our reservation was at 7pm and we didn't get seated until almost 7:30pm. The place itself isn't very big, it's cozy, cute and I liked the vibes but when the other couple we were meeting with showed up it did feel a little crowded by the host stand. The host was nice enough to give us a menu to browse while we waited and someone came to ask us what drink we would like to sip on (i really thought they were offering us a free drink for the wait, but later saw we were charged for them, no biggie but would have been nice considering we waited so long) Drinks were all so so good! No complaints there. We started with the smoked fish dip and ceviche which was different than your typical one, but refreshing! I had the skirt steak - it was flavorful but definitely heavy on the salt. I still really enjoyed it as well as the rice & beans. Hubby got the ropa veija which he enjoyed. Our friend got the osso buco which he liked, but said the chicharron was not good at all. We then had some pastelitos for dessert! They added a 18% gratuity to the check, which was fine and I appreciated them telling us as well as circling it. Overall I think it was really good but nothing out of the world, you can find similar food for much less at your other local Cuban spots - what sets the place apart is the drinks and vibes so if you're looking for the whole experience then it's your place.
