Stopped in after a date night out, loved the quiet and intimate environment. We asked the bar tender for a recommendation and she suggested the riesling. Usually I wouldn't get a Riesling because they're sweet but this one was not. We really enjoyed the wine and the vibes! We'll be back!

Quicksand had a pretty amazing happy hour! I enjoy taking a friend here to catch up. The vibes are so cool and chill. You truly feel comfy and cozy. We asked for a recommendation and enjoyed a refreshing bottle of wine. They offer light snacks but nothing crazy. Sometimes you can catch a local food truck here. Overall great experience, can't wait to return again soon!

The chef made a homemade pasta dish for us. It was delicious. The customer service was fantastic. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our time there. The ambience is quiet. Nice it's a small place but well worth the trip. A nice small quiet place, but you'll have a fantastic time.

Enjoying the weather with a glass of wine!

Such a cute and trendy place in Orlando to grab a glass of wine! My husband and I went on a Saturday afternoon after lunch and enjoyed a glass of wine in the outside area. The vibes are so great and relaxing. They had some music playing inside that we could hear outside that made a really nice atmosphere. They do have some small bites on their menu, but we didn't get anything since we had just had lunch. Next time we will have to try something! Happy hour was going on when we were there so that was a really nice touch. Cheers!

Cacio e pepe
Helen B.

It's about time I finally wrote a Quicksand review!! Since it opened, this place has become my go-to spot for truly any and everything. Debriefing with a friend? Of course. Solo lunch to read a book and sip wine? 100%. And now that they have their dinner menu - pasta and yap? Absolutely. First and foremost, every bartender I have ever met here has been incredibly lovely and kind. They are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. If you're not sure what to order yet, they're happy to pour you samples and talk you through your options. They're also just excellent at their jobs: my water glass is never, ever empty. To get into their actual food, I should start by saying I have never had a bad drink, snack, or meal here. Ever. The wine is so carefully curated, the N/A options are equally intentional, and the FOOD! If you just want a little snack, the baguette and butter never lets me down. If you're hungrier, their new cacio e pepe is SO phenomenal, and the portion is generous without being overwhelming. My number one tip is to go for their lunch deal - a glass of wine, gorgeous chips, and a spectacular jambon beurre?? It's not to be missed!! Finally, the energy in this bar is just so welcoming. I'm often intimidated by wine bars. I feel like I don't know enough about wine and the environment is overwhelming. Here, it feels like I stepped into my classiest friend's living room, but we're talking in sweats on the couch. The music is always the perfect volume, the lighting is low and warm, and the vibe is just *chef's kiss.* I may have gone on too long. TL;DR: Quicksand is unlike anywhere else you've ever been. After your visit, you won't want to be anywhere else.

I would pass on this wine next time- not terrible but not my favorite (almost had a sparkling/spritz aspect to it).

A friend and I came here for happy hour on a Friday night. It was so cute and the vibes were impeccable from the lighting to the music- very warm and inviting while still being chic. The happy hour included $20 off bottles of wine and $2 off wine glasses. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable on their wide selection of different wines. They also have a small dinner menu, the options were all amazing. My friend got a sandwich while I got the crudo. We played cards at the bar and spent a few hours here chatting and drinking. The carrot cake ice cream was a lovely end to the night. We will definitely be back!

Best lunch special that I've found so far in the city that comes with a vibe! It's tucked away in Colonialtown and it's easy to miss but you'll be sorry if you do! The lunch special comes with a sandwich with freshly baked bread, melted butter, exquisite deli meat and cheese with a side of kettle chips and a glass of wine. Girl dinner! The playlist was amazing from the moment we entered until we left and the customer service was phenomenal. They have curated one of the best, affordable experiences and I cannot wait to return for an event. Add this to your itinerary!

My first time visiting and it's a small, intimate venue with seating indoors and in their patio. The staff was so pleasant and attentive. They answered questions, provided recommendations and let us try a few samples as well. We snacked on bread and butter and the prosciutto on kettle chips. They were a comfort snack so we enjoyed them but they are ok the pricier side. Parking is located outside the venue though it's a smaller lot. It's a nice place for a night cap after dinner or before going out to meet friends.

Love coming back here, very knowledgeable staff with some great recommendations. Great vibes inside and outside, their new food menu is to die for, especially the cacio e pepe. Don't sleep on the weekend lunch deal. Also the bathrooms smell amazing.

Okay, Heather has done it again! This cozy little wine bar is brought to you by the owner of Golden Hour Wine and it's quickly become one of my favorite local spots. If you've ever been to Golden Hour in Baldwin Park, then you already know that Heather's knowledge of natural wine and passion for highlighting small winemakers is unparalleled. I've learned so much about natural wine and fallen in love with it myself thanks to Heather's storytelling and the education of her incredible staff. I'm so happy that they now have a neighborhood wine bar to keep the good vibes flowing and the community growing. Quicksand is located off of E. Colonial in the same building as Educe Salon (side entrance) with plenty of free onsite parking. They have wine available by both the bottle and the glass, along with some light bar snacks like chips & dip, olives, focaccia, canned mussels, a selections of cheeses, and more. They have plenty of bar seating and cozy nooks inside, and they also added a patio out back with additional seating. Be sure to also check out their happy hour specials usually posted on their IG stories. I went for happy hour on my birthday and they had discounted $36 bottles. If you don't know what to order, no need to worry. Their team is so wonderful and they're happy to make suggestions based on the flavor profiles you typically like. I love a juicy, fizzy red (not sweet) or something bubbly and they always pick the perfect wine for me.

I absolutely loved everything about this intimate, cozy wine bar. The music was phenomenal. I found myself Shazamming a bunch of the jazz songs. The wine was sooooo good! & the bartenders were very sweet and amicable. I wished that I had more time to spend there because I really wanted to order the bread with butter. That definitely means that I have to come back. The aesthetic appeal alone will definitely draw me back. I like that it wasn't overly crowded when I went even though it was a 6:30 pm on a Saturday. I also LOVED that unlike many places in the area, it was actually quite easy to park!

Shay M.

I decided to check this place out after recommendations from friends and was satisfied. It has a nice, lowkey vibe where you can drink wine and catch up with friends. It is ideal for happy hour or starting a night out. The location is small and the food menu is limited so manage your expectations when you visit!

Tiffany W.

We LOVE!!!!! Everyone is so knowledgeable and super helpful and friendly. I love how they have a variety of wines you probably never heard or seen. We went with another couple and just sat outside and it was a perfect night. Highly recommend with friends or even solo cause the workers will spark of convo with you so you are never alone.

The aesthetics and atmosphere of this restaurant / wine bar is very Mediterranean / south of France which I adorrrrred especially since I'll be there this summer. There's an outside seating area with a water fountain and umbrellas for all the vibes and shade to enjoy a brunch or day with the girls or even a date. Inside is elegant just as well with lovely art pieces, decor and lighting. They just started doing brunch on Sundays when I went so it was nice to experience it and see their curated menu. When I made the reservation I requested a scenic ambiance spot which they had the perfect table for me and my server Erin surprised me with a complimentary glass of bubbles, I assume the prosecco which was such a treat being to start off my birthday lunch! I had some main goals of YES and I NEED, which was a nice bottle of wine, those gorgeous blue and white printed plates, the blue crab cannoli, and the ousters. All of which I received in the best presentation possible. The team at Lorelei even made my lunch ever so special by serving everything on those plates along with enhancing my blue crab cannoli with caviar on the top instead of the regular fish eggs that are placed which I was just full of joy and happiness seeing how special they surprised and customized my dishes for me! The bottle of Sauvignon blanc also a perfectly complimented my oysters as well as the cannolis. Overall, Lorelei did not disappoint me and met all of my expectations and desires with the perfect birthday lunch with my favorite besties! I can't wait to come back again for some small bites and tapas or even experience the wine tasting events they hold!

Everyone was very friendly and helpful, our server helped us choose between drinks and entrees that we were stuck between.

It was a very generous amount of food, and everything was very fresh and the flavors were so well balanced with sweet and savory elements. I also got the Paloma which I enjoyed. My husband got the sausage gravy, which he liked. He said the flavors were more complex than your usual sausage gravy. My other friend got the French toast which she enjoyed very much. She did ask for extra syrup as she felt it didn't have enough but that's a personal preference of course. All in all we were very happy with our brunch and would come back in the future.

Came in late night just to check out their $10 Monday martinis. There was limited options to just a plain or dirty vodka or gin martini. No other variations or anything else from their cocktail menu was part of this deal. Blue cheese stuffed olives were a dollar a piece and tasted great but don't think I needed the 3 that was automatically given. They did seem hand stuffed with fresh blue cheese instead of the already made kind so it tasted better than most Having been to a few of their other Good Salt group restaurants, this definitely had their signature touch with all the details and the delicious menu. I like checking out all their locations. Another one of restaurant was a few doors down The server forgot my simple request for ice and lemons in the beginning when ordering just water. She also didn't check on us after dropping off the drinks and had to get someone else nearby for more olive juice when my dirty martini seemed to have missed the dirty part. Getting the check seemed to be a task, no server in sight, and had to grab another employee to ask for it From just ordering waters and martinis, service was quite lacking. I get that it was a slow night but maybe tending to the only table around should have been an easy task and being a little more tentative for the few times a server was needed would have gone a long way

The interior kinda has a hipster-rustic vibe but with more comfortable chairs. Prices seemed reasonable. Service seemed a bit overwheled but again, I think the massive event letting out had something to do with that. I got a cheese board, truffled fries, fried chicken caviar, and a deviled affogato for dessert. My date for the creste di gallo and the olive oil citrus cake. Everything was was very good, with the standout being the fries; I know that truffle essence flavor isn't for everyone but it worked really well for me in the fry sauce. My dates pasta was also very good, the pesto sauce was zesty and complimented it well. And I really like the olive oil cake with mascarpone, super light and perfectly sweet. The very minor issues were that the fried chicken was pretty deeply fried and way harder than expected, which I don't mind but may not be your thing. Devil's food cake at the bottom of the affogato was also not as sweet as I would have liked. Overall a really enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend.

My only gripes -- it can get VERY loud... like, too loud. Especially if you're with your Grandma and trying to have a conversation. Also, it can be a bit pricy and the items add up. Don't order an espresso martini with reposado because it'll cost about $35. The servers are always on point and I feel are knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks. Thankfully, one of them warned me about the espresso martini cost so I dodged that bullet. I love the wine options and there's so many amazing ones to try. Same for the menu, lots of variety and you really can't go wrong.
