Wow - Quinoa salad with chicken
Erin G.

The name bakery is misleading because this is a wonderful cafe. They have a great assortment of bakery items, empanadas, ice cream, wraps and salads. A very nice assortment of beverages besides coffee, juices, beer, wine and cocktails. The decor theme is garden but in very clean and comfortable way. I stepped to the counter and ordered a quinoa salad and I tried one of the chicken empanadas. I chose to add chicken to the quinoa salad. This was a super salad. A large very tasty salad which could make two meals for me. I liked that the salad was mixed in a bowl instead of just quinoa placed on a bed of lettuce. It had tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, quinoa, lettuce spring mix, and nuts in a house made salad dressing which had a hint of ginger. The chicken was a generous serving and I really loved this salad. I definitely would order this again. I also ordered a chicken empanada. I actually prefer the smaller ones that are not a bunch of fried dough. This one was just the right size and I enjoyed the chicken filling. They have sandwiches and wraps available in the case and ready to go. They seem to come with a sprinkling of chips. They had a chicken parmigiana which I want to try next time. They plan to offer a happy hour. Right now they are in their soft opening. The only thing I did not enjoy was that my quinoa salad came with a plastic spork. It is a personal preference and with the small quinoa and larger pieces of chicken I am not sure which utensil is appropriate. Paradise Bakery is a great addition to the neighborhood

dissapointed is an understatement. This was my favorite dominican food restaurant because it was so different from the normal restaurants and was always fresh and very quick. I had celebrated my bday there last year. After a while of not going there these last couple of months I've been ordering from them every week or so and the food always good. The last time I ordered I literally was left stunned. My yucca fries were brown ( picture below) cheese sticks were browned and my Yaroa mixta had fries that had the taste of old or burnt oil. I simply couldn't just let it go and I had gone to the restaurant. I tell the waitress what's going on and she gets me the manager. The manager comes out I show him the yucca and the other things and he asks what do I want to be done. I tell him I simply just want it to be remade. This guy who has not an ounce of customer service tells me "well if I make it again you're gonna complain that the oil is burnt and we're just gonna go to the same place again" I was just in awe and literally just told him just give me my money then. No apologies were given, no responsibility taken, and no care. Also this restaurant is no longer ran by the original dominican owners. These people are either Colombian or South American and very different from the old mgmt. do not waste your time.

This is no Paradise,unless your Paradise is being at a bar. It has a pub like feel to me, and the food is more catered to college students or those who are not health conscious. The food is Very unhealthy,you can get anything you want here, fried.Plus we waited 15 minutes to be served, and there was only three people in the restaurant, and that wait was just for the water.Dessert was good.

This is almost like a small whole in the wall! I've always passed it before and never went in until Covid hit and I decided to order take out. The food is sooooooooo good!!!! I have yet to order anything from here that I didn't like. Once everything opened back up I decided to come out with friends. It had a pub like feel to it? It's spacious and I love that they play good music here. It's our little spot! Only reason it hasn't received the 5 stars is because the service isn't at 100. The girls that take care of us are sweet! In particular the Hispanic girl with long straight black hair. But on 2 occasions where it's not busy at all and we've been just sitting there waiting for drinks for a long time or the check takes forever to hit the table. Otherwise the food here doesn't disappoint. Wings with yuca fries are great! This sampler platter was soooo good and I love the mofongo con chicharrón de pollo!

Fantastic gem in the rough!

Customer service was great. Food was the opposite. Pricing for the food was atrocious. Overall, 1-star. Will never return.

I have found my new, go-to lounge in Orlando. I went on a Thursday night and missed the live music,…read morebut the vibes were still Viking. I was sexy in every way, from the decor to the glassware, to the cigar corner. Every inch of the place was a vibe. Go see Manny, the bartender. His service was unmatched. He made me a Coconut Passionfruit Margarita with a Tajin rim. When I tell you that's THE BEST margarita I've ever had, I mean it. The waitress took one of our party's order wrong and he personally came over, made it right, and was our best friend the rest of the night. We got a yummy charcuterie board to soak up some of the alcohol. Highly recommend that too. The last thing I'll say is that even though we missed the live music, they were still playing the artist's music over the speakers. It's great to see them continue to support local talent because I immediately looked up the person and downloaded their music all because the establishment didn't stop supporting him after he stopped singing. It shows how deep they want to grow roots in the community. Love it and I'm absolutely going back.

Looking at the menu I was bit surprised they did not have more signature drinks on the menu, mainly mojitos, but then realized this is a Latin speakeasy, with music playing to match. Once I had my coconut mojito I was very pleased. They really do know how to make them. They also have a full bar so anything you want they can make, The bartender and servers were super nice and friendly, and they worked quick to get all drinks out. They also had some food, that looked delicious, and hope I get the chance to come back to try some. After seating in the lounge/ speakeasy area for a while, we moved to the bar for a last drink. The bartender said Espresso Martinis were her specialty so we order those. She was not lying, one of the best we've had.

Went for brunch on Sunday after finding out this cute spot was so close to me!…read more Upon first entering this place is really lit up inside with so many booths/seating making it a great place for partying!! From what I heard, at 10pm it becomes a club. For brunch, they sat us outside in the back, which was also spacious, with tons of booth, colorful umbrellas, and other smaller tables. There was a live dj, hookah, cute photo ops, and more making it a great brunch place! My friends and I opted for the $50 brunch combo which included mimosas or sangria, an entree, and a dessert (2 hr limit). They have a great menu and if you decide to not do the combo they have pitchers, cocktails, and other great yummy food like sushi! Every item has its own Euphoria twist and I loved the playful names each item was given! I had the chicken and waffles (opted for no cheese) and it was delicious! For mimosas you can pick between orange, passion fruit, and mango; sadly no mango that day, but the passionfruit was so good! Now, my biggest complain was the order/food service. Our server was super kind, but we did get our food items mixed up various times causing some people in my party to wait an hour or more until they got their food, at that point everyone at different times and it really took away from the experience. The mimosas took a good 20+ minutes to be brought to our table and even then once everyone ordered it took even longer to get enough glasses for everyone. Overall, the food was delicious, but I wasn't pleased with the lack of organization/timing! Would definitely come back, maybe to check them out at night as I've heard it gets pretty lit!

Live music was the final welcoming element, especially the Bon Jovi song the guitar played as I was seated. The concierge at the JW Marriott had provided a QR code with links to all the on site restaurants, so I had ample opportunity to view menu and had already zoned in on the oysters. The presentation was beautiful, and included watermelon mignonette sauce and the flower on the platter was an extra nice touch. I asked for crackers and the closest item available was provided. They were the perfect touch and large enough to accommodate the oysters dipped into the mignonette with horseradish, cocktail sauce and the House Hot Sauce ~ Benne Seed Lavash My server Ryan had been extremely helpful with seating at a comfy booth, answering questions and allowing time to contemplate the menu options. He suggested H & H's signature shrimp and grits. I obliged and was not disappointed. Ingredients included Cape Canaveral Shrimp, Crawfish, Low Country Broth, Goat Cheese Grits, Leeks and Peppers. I opted to get the Andouille sausage on the side. Everything had great flavor. I was slightly disappointed with the size of the shrimp as they resembled salad shrimp. The addition of the crawfish was nice addition to the shrimp and hearty grits. Truly enjoyed my dining experience at Highball and Harvest. Everything went well including the complimentary umbrellas for use while registered. Took the opportunity to walk through the courtyard and surrounding lake with the umbrella. The courtyard located outside of Highball and Harvest had ample seating area and a fire pit. Would definitely use during a visit on a day with better weather.

It's a bit confusing because you have to walk past the bar area (with two pool tables) towards the back to find the host stand. While making my reservation, I opted for the semi-private dining room and we had almost the entire area to ourselves and were seated in an oversized comfy booth. Our server was very nice and made great recommendations. The food came out in a timely manner, was well presented, decent portions, and tasted great. We especially loved the Caesar tartare, lamb shank, apple pie, and cookies. The cookies were especially unique and they also added decorative chocolates to both with celebratory messages based on our reservation. No notes, we will be back!

The restaurant was decorated for Halloween, but it still beautifully captured its signature mix of art, music, creativity, and energy. One of the biggest highlights for my kids was the live contortionist, who completely embodied the Halloween vibe with just the right amount of spookiness. Between that, the local artwork throughout the restaurant, artists painting live, and even a small jewelry station where you could watch pieces being created and purchase them, there was always something interesting happening around us. Ben, our server, and his trainee -- I believe her name was Crystal -- were phenomenal. Both were high-energy, personable, and added so much to the experience. Ben explained the small-plate concept perfectly, including how the food would arrive as it was ready and recommending about 2-3 plates per person for sharing. We took that advice seriously and practically ordered the menu. Between the chicken empanadas, chicken skewers, chicken egg rolls, dynamite shrimp, udon noodles, chorizo sliders, elote, mini hamburger sliders, kids chicken tenders, and fish tacos, everyone at the table found something they loved. Everything was flavorful, everyone was satisfied, and we were FULL by the end. The energy is high, the music is loud, and there is a lot happening -- but that is absolutely part of the experience. If you are looking for a quiet dinner, this may not be it. But if you want great food, incredible energy, art, entertainment, and a dining experience your family will actually talk about afterward, Café Tu Tu Tango is absolutely worth it. One of our favorite Orlando experiences.

The service is efficient, the food and drink specials for Happy Hour from 5-8pm are excellent and you can easily walk to your event. The Lounge is relaxed and not crowded as other locations in this area, especially before a performance or a Magic game. (Both were going on the night we stopped in.) Last year, Yelp held its annual award event here. I ended up meeting a couple that was in the lounge area that were going to Dr. Phillips later that night. We struck up a conversation-they asked what this big Yelp group was about, and I provided the details. They said they always come to the WXYZ Lounge before a performance arts event as this place is not crowded and the food is quite good. I remembered this conversation when a friend and I attended a recent event at Dr. Phillips. As luck would have it, Woody and Kim were in the Lounge when we walked in Friday night! I introduced them to my guest and thanked them for their recommendation. We then went to sit at the bar. First off, LeBeth was our main bartender, and she was excellent. We remembered each other from the Yelp event. We ordered two of the featured cocktails, Waterloo Rose Pedals (gin) and Svedka String Winder (vodka). My friend asked if the vodka drink was sweet and LaBeth stated she could add more lemon to her cocktail to counterbalance the sweetness. Both drinks were excellent, and although I liked my gin drink, I switched to the vodka drink for my second one after I had a taste of my friend's drink. A shout-out also to the "bartender in training", Jeffrey, who assisted us. The food was also amazing. We first ordered from the Small Bites menu. The Buffalo Cauliflower floret bites were lightly breaded and soft, with Bleu Cheese crumbles, and the buffalo dressing was provided on the side. Very tasty! The Veggie Eggrolls with the sweet Red Chili sauce was also a big hit. We then added a Chicken Caesar salad and the Fish Tacos from the Big Bites menu to also share. The salad was a good size, served in a large round, flat bowl, with the Caesar dressing on the side. The Fish Tacos were very FULL tacos, and the combination of the spicy sauce and the sweet and tangy coleslaw complimented each other well. We both agreed these were some of the best fish tacos we have tasted! Overall, a great place to stop in for Happy Hour and it is THE PERFECT stop before an event at the Dr. Phillips Performance Center.

DEAR SUMMER BAR CRAWL…read more*iDrive Nightlife - *September 2026, my wife and I had dinner at Pointe Orlando. After a lovely evening, we were walking back toward the garage and stopped at Blue Martini to say hello to a great colleague, Mr. Abel. He remembered me, and we talked for a few minutes. Our original plan was simply dinner and walk around, check out a few spots early, and then head home, but Mr. Abel reminded us how important it is to take time--precious time--to enjoy the people you love. He encouraged us not to cut the night short on such a beautiful, cool September evening and suggested that we go inside Blue Martini and check out the atmosphere. He was absolutely right. We went inside, were greeted right away, found a place to sit, and immediately enjoyed the energy. We also received a lanyard with access and offers for several nearby venues, including Ice Bar, Still Lounge, and of course Blue Martini. We ended up visiting several locations, enjoying drinks, music, and an amazing night out. Blue Martini quickly became a favorite. There was a live band performing, and every so often the singer came down to the floor and interacted with the crowd, even letting some guests help finish songs. The music covered everything from Michael Jackson and Alicia Keys to Mary J. Blige, Backstreet Boys, and more. It was just an amazing atmosphere. Sometimes you want a place where you can sit down, relax, have a drink, listen to great music, and enjoy the people around you. We noticed a lot of people enjoying meals and the show. That kind of atmosphere feels harder to find these days, and Blue Martini delivered it. Saturday night was definitely lively, but still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy yourself. And September is such a great time to be out at Pointe Orlando because the weather starts to cool down enough to enjoy the patio and walk around without feeling miserable in the heat. We are very glad we took Mr. Abel's advice and stayed out a little longer. Definitely recommend Blue Martini. Five stars!
