I decided to do my last magical dining for 2026 here. I made a reservation through OpenTable. I…read moredecided to sit at the bar since it was open, and tried the Capari cocktail for 15 dollars. 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. I must say the food was definitely high in calories, sugar, and fat, but it was well worth it. It's just that good in a very nice environment. Definitely will come again when I need southern comfort food! Overall: A

The server came around and took our orders, promptly brought our water every time our water was low, and checked in on us. I got the Caesar salad, the Mushroom Stroganoff and the bread pudding. All three were delicious. The salad was straightforward and was exactly what I would expect from a Caesar salad, but the stroganoff was the standout. 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.

An apropos name for a gastropub in the heart of Winter Park Village, The Hangry Bison had been on my list to try for awhile. Overall, my family and I enjoyed our time, in large part because of the great service by Emi. She was attentive, engaging, personable, and professional. We also enjoyed the food cooked to order and the comfortable seating area. To start, our appetizer of soft pretzels and beer cheese arrived and was quickly shared (devoured - I was fortunate to get a picture). The warm, cheese-covers pretzels were solid, and a good choice to carry us through until our main courses arrived. I ordered the Build Your Own Burger, medium, complete with a write-on menu to check off my choices. Sweet potato fries asked me to try them out along with the Bison burger, which I had never eaten. My Bison burger with minimal extras and the Bourbon glaze looked appetizing, and the flavor of the burger held its own. Plenty of sweet potato fries joined the burger on the plate, and I enjoyed their slightly firm exterior with the soft, sweet interior. Even the leftovers tasted good two days later. I ordered and enjoyed The Soldiers Lemonade, but wished I had started drinking it sooner than later due to the crushed ice. The warm night quickly melted it. We agreed that we'd return again for the burgers, comfortable atmosphere, and great service.

My favorite thing to get here is the espresso martini because it's easily one of my top 3 in Orlando!

I ordered an Aperol Spritz and my husband raved about the loaded bloody mary with shrimp and bacon which seemed like a steal for $14.

Everything I eat was delicious. My favorite would be the shrimp scampi, it even warmed up well the next day! And I was most intrigued by the peaches and cream dessert as I've never really seen anything like this, but it was delicious. I wish there was a little more guava in it and that it was a little easier to breakthrough the shell but other than that a great dessert. The mocktail called the grove and jam was also amazing and really good and inspire me to want to make mocktails at home!

We visited this restaurant for the Orlando Magical Dining special to celebrate my mother's…read morebirthday, and unfortunately the experience was far from magical. The menu was extremely limited -- only three appetizers, two of which were salads, and the third (brussels sprouts) wasn't even available. The entrées and desserts were also limited to three options each. For a $60 per‑person dining event, we expected a memorable meal, but the service was slow and the wait between courses was unusually long. We also weren't informed ahead of time that parties larger than six are automatically charged an added tip percentage. The atmosphere and interior were beautiful, but the food itself didn't match the price or the occasion. My chicken entrée was shockingly small -- essentially the size of a single chicken wing -- served with six small red potatoes in sauce. It didn't feel like a $60 dish in any way. Overall, the experience was disappointing, especially considering it was meant to be a special birthday dinner for my mom. This isn't meant to be harsh, just honest feedback. I truly hope management takes this seriously and improves both the menu and the service for future Magical Dining guests.

For appetizers, we tried the brussel sprouts and the burrata. We all agreed that the brussel sprouts were the best we've ever had. They had a kimchi vinaigrette making them sweet, savory and salty. Each bite really hit all flavor profiles and they were also crispy. For our second appetizer, we ordered the burrata which was served with a tomato and strawberry gazpacho. It was really fresh and it was a nice pallet cleanser after the brussel sprouts. For my entree, I ordered the Alabama chicken. I was excited because my friend ordered this last time and I really liked it. I was underwhelmed this time. The chicken was a little dry and the fried Mac and cheese was really dry. For dessert, we ordered chocolate olive oil cake, which was very moist. We also ordered the hazelnut panna cotta, which was a special. It was good but compared to the cake, it wasn't very memorable.

I have been a fan for years and I have considered becoming a member. Members get free popcorn and other perks. This theater shows movies you don't find in the mass market and hosts film festivals. Ordering from your seats is also a plus. I always feel like this is an experience rather than just going to the movies. This nonprofit just got a big boost with new projectors that can show 70mm movies and a new surround sound system. When discussing projection, the bigger the number, the clearer the picture. 35mm film, in comparison, has a resolution roughly equivalent to 5 or 6K. And 70mm film -- which, as the number suggests, is twice as wide as 35 mm -- has a resolution closer to 16-18K. The new projectors can show both 35mm and 70mm films. I saw the Odyssey at the Enzian during a special showing and it was quite the night out.

Our server was incredibly short with us and came across as downright aggressive. At one point, he even told us we needed to order quickly because he was busy. Thankfully, we spoke with another waitress later who apologized and mentioned that he's usually very kind and was apparently having an off night. I appreciated her explanation, so I'll leave his name out of it. The bar itself was cool and had a fun ambiance, which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, the food was a different story. We ordered the pork nachos, which were overpriced for what looked like a tablespoon of dry, shredded pork topped with canned cheese. We took a few bites and decided to cut our losses. Would I go back? Maybe for the atmosphere, assuming the service is better next time. But based on the food alone, I wouldn't return. Honestly, I've had better food at a fast-food drive-through.
