The Rundown: You're paying for name, not necessarily a quality experience here…read more The Review: I'd never been here before, and it was rather hyped up before attending so I was looking forward to the experience. Initial impression from outside: Nice, I was surprised to find a golf course/(can you call it country?) club in the city! Once stepping inside however, it was very apparent that there was a general lack of attention to detail which I found odd. On the main screen the event going on is displayed and then you find yourself greeted by: a damaged sign advertising their Instagram. At a place that costs this much I'm really not sure how this is positive advertising? Took away from the initial experience. During the catering service the food was quite good, not anything that gave a memorable culinary experience and I'd say above average for catering but wasn't anything I would rave about. The odd part was the staff was almost TOO attentive. You'd turn around and anything at your spot belonging to the facility was removed. Did you go up to get more food? You'd return to find all the utensils gone. Eating and paused for a moment? If not, you'd likely turn and find an arm pop around you to remove your plate and any utensil around. It left a sense of feeling rushed and inconvenienced as there were no utensils clearly visible. You'd have to ask the staff who would direct you to utensils on a black tablecloth covered by a black napkin where there were a total of three sets. They were never refilled throughout the service so the running joke became asking your neighbor to guard your utensils and napkins if you'd step away otherwise risk eating with your hands. Also one of the staff you could always tell when she returned from a smoke break which was disappointing. But at least you knew a server was nearby when the odor of smoke came around and know your items might disappear if you weren't holding on to them? Overall, for the price you're paying keep in mind it's strictly for the name. The experience was subpar and I've been to better events where people spent less. This one felt very transactional - and not in a positive way.

EWWWW! They don't change their gloves after touching many things in the kitchen, including the cash…read moreregister. Then they literally grab the meat from the catering dishes with those same gloves. They didn't use tongs. They used DIRTY GLOVES GRABBING HANDFULS OF MEAT and put it right on the buns for the sandwiches. I saw this as I sat outside and observed this terrible behavior through the window. Gloves are the enemy of the food industry if not used properly. Untrained workers using gloves have no sense of "my hands are dirty" since they're wearing gloves. They routinely touch the counter, door handles, utensils, etc. which are usually touched by many others. Hopefully the owners who put their hard earned dollars into opening a restaurant for the community take the time to train their staff properly. Until then, this restaurant is DISGUSTING!!!! I would skip this place for now.

I studied the menus at the new Avalon Park Marketplace and I was drawn to BBQ50's "Bat out of Hell"…read moresandwich. A BBQ brisket sandwich with pulled pork, beer cheese and a chopped up St. Louis rib is right up my alley. It was ok and for $16, I doubt I would go out of my way to go back. My issue is they are still acting like a mobile catering company. The brisket and pork were pre-cut and kept warm in chaffing dishes which definitely watered down the smoky taste. They did not have beer cheese either, but I did visit during their soft opening, and Bowigens did not have their liquor license yet. On the flipside, all of their sauces were fantastic and did elevate the taste, but not to the level of some of the area best BBQ joints. Again, soft opening so understandable, but delays were caused by how they implemented their ticketing system. I would say this is a good family spot for a quick meal if you are in the Avalon Park area, and their are several other vendors at the Marketplace. Self seating areas indoors and outside are kept very clean by staff. https://marketplaceatavalonpark.com/ Taste *** Quality/Freshness *** Presentation/Uniqueness **** Service *** Atmosphere **** Bar Cleanliness **** Price $$$$

This place goes off!! Was in the mood for some good kreole food and SK fusion did not disappoint…read more Placed an order on Uber for pick up and it was ready when I arrived. Lady at the counter was very sweet and made sure everything was correct before I left. I ordered the griot (fried pork), with black rice, sweet potato fries, and mac and cheese. The pork was tender (but crispy), flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Mac and cheese was kreole style which I liked because it's not overly cheesy but still had that baked topping on it. Black rice is my favorite and SK does it wonderfully. Moist, flavorful, and a large portion. Absolutely tore it up. That said, the star of the plate was unexpectedly the sweet potato fries. They were crispy and had some kind of sweet sauce on them. Absolutely the best I've ever had. This review is for a pickup order but I imagine it's only better for dine in. The wife and I will absolutely be back. Do not miss this hidden gem. It's inside the Yard food hall and parking can be tricky but it's worth it.

Alinea should be sweating because this place was incredible and definitely the best meal I've had…read morein Orlando! My biggest regret is waiting three years after it opened to check it out. From the moment we walked in and were personally greeted by the hostess who confirmed our special occasion celebration and food allergies, the service was impeccable. The entire staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly enhanced our experience. They expertly described each course, including how to eat it, and were patient with our questions. We made a last minute early dinner week night reservation (you have to prepay for your meal including a 20% service fee) and were one of two couples for the majority of our three-hour 9+ course plus wine pairing experience. The restaurant itself is in the heart of Baldwin and the decor is modern, intimate, and clean. We began the meal with a special complimentary cocktail at the bar and then were seated in a huge, plush booth complete with pillows. The food was coursed at a great pace and it was nice to be able to watch the chefs plate the dishes. The music was of a wide variety and a perfect volume. The portions are small but packed with flavor and beautifully designed. There were minimal substitutions made due to my crustacean allergy and the Vietnamese dishes were all divine. I especially loved the main course with wagyu tartar, a donut, and broth that had been made over the course of several days and I will probably dream about for awhile. My other favorites were the foie gras appetizer and sweet yet savory cheese and strawberry dessert. We even received what I believe was a bonus almond and passion fruit dessert due to our celebration which was an awesome surprise. Throughout our meal we were served food and drinks by the same hostess who initially greeted us, the two chefs preparing the main courses, and the pastry chef. They were all equally wonderful to converse with and seemed genuinely happy to be there. While serving a dessert course, my dish tipped over right before the party chef set it down and he quickly went back and brought a fresh one to ensure my experience was nothing short of excellent. We were also provided warm hand towels for every dish with a hand component. Upon paying for our wine pairing and caviar and black truffle enhancements (which were originally presented to us in a special box), we were gifted personalized envelopes with a wax seal of the restaurant's signature logo enclosed with that evenings menu and a bottle of tea to go. Despite a 20% included gratuity, we appreciated the impeccable service and were genuinely thrilled to add additional tip. It was an incredible experience and I look forward to returning next quarter when they update 90% of their menu.

You can tell the that Chef Pierre is truly passionate about what he does and the flavors are out of this world. There's a reason they were on Yelp's list of Black-owned Businesses to Watch a few years back! I'm not even a big fan of chicken & waffles, but let me tell you -- these are the best I've ever had. The chicken is cooked perfectly crispy and their 4 cheesy-herb waffles are amazing. You also don't want to miss the Steak 'N Steak Sandwich (seasoned steak, peppers, pepper jack cheese, pickled onions, tomato, arugula, pesto aioli, and garlic butter on a hoagie bun). This was the winner for me. They also specialize in urban tacos, burritos, and BYO burgers. Just look at how delicious all their food photos look... you won't be disappointed!

Friends, this place is proof that compromise can be beautiful. Sweet meets spicy meets (meats?) savory. Every bite felt like someone dared a pitmaster and a pastry chef to create the ultimate brunch, and somehow they pulled it off. The only drawback? Ventilation. It's stuffy inside. Plan on smelling like a smoky glazed donut the rest of the day. PS. If anyone wants to bring this concept to KC, I'd like to be considered an early investor. Or at the very least, a highly enthusiastic taste tester. Holy hell. Brunch of champions.

Parking wasn't an issue either. As I walked in, I was greeted by who seemed to be the owner and a young woman. Very nice, lovely staff. Everyone was so sweet. My only issue was that they didn't have a good portion of their menu ready and it's mostly because they didn't have the gravy for their dishes. The ones we wanted came with gravy and the staff let us know they were behind on making it. So we pivoted and tried their prime rib smash burger but unfortunately that felt a little disappointing. For the price that it was, you'd think that you'd get a decently portioned burger or some sides with it but it was super tiny. And the bun felt like grocery bread, the type you can get for a home bbq. It was still delicious but rather disappointing at the same time. We ended up having to order a third dish just to feel satisfied and at least it was very good. The bowls are worth it, maybe not the burger but the bowls for sure! I also snagged up a donut and truthfully that is one of the best donuts I've ever had. Another downside to this spot and why I didn't give it a 4 star is because how slow the service was. We watched a whole family get up and leave because it was taking so long, I actually felt bad for the staff and owner. The place has great tasting food, just needs a little shaping up. Maybe someone who can run the kitchen as a head chef. Overall, I still recommend the place but just know that you'll be waiting a while and some things may not be available.
