We ordered the lobster benny and the french toast. We were pleasantly surprised at how much lobster we got on our order, $24 seemed very reasonable for the dish. The french toast was solid as well. 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. Super high value place and awesome vibes; would definitely come back for the brunch!

The band was great, the song choices were perfect and everyone was enjoying the night. Ordering the food and drinks was a bit confusing. I feel our server was overwhelmed handling several large groups plus the loud music. I ordered a margarita and chicken tenders. My husband ordered a burger and a beer. At some point all the orders came out except for one person on our table. It seems the order got lost so he got his food late. I liked the vibe of the place, at some point we were dancing and having a great time. I want to come back on a regular night and check out the service then.

Restaurant #3 in my 2026 Magical Dining tour was this fantastic restaurant. This was my first visit…read moreto The Ravenous Pig and will not be my last. I was unable to make a reservation for this night, but walked in and was seated at the bar immediately. There are two hostess stands at this location. The first stand is at the door next to the Valet Parking stand and is for confirmed reservation seating. You are directed to walk further down the hallway towards the bar area for another separate hostess stand for walk-ins. We were seated at a nice two-top table close to the brewery room. (Note: we noticed a separate table inside the brewery which appeared to accommodate a small group and most likely requires a reservation to be seated there.) Kelly was our server and she was efficient, fun and very knowledgeable of the menu. She answered all of our questions, including explaining the ingredients of some of our selections. Our drink selections consisted of the frozen Getaway Car (vodka, sour cherry and maraschino liqueur) and the Woe Is Me martini (herb-infused Grey Goose with a pickled cherry tomato). The tomato made this martini stand out! The presentation of both drinks was memorable as was the taste of each. For our appetizers, we shared the Gatherer Salad (a zesty combination of baby greens, avocado, pickled beets, radish, goat, cheese and walnut granola with a herb vinaigrette dressing-outstanding!) and the Mushroom and Gruyère Beignets, set off by the pecorino cheese and the truffle aioli sauce. We easily could've had a second round of the beignets, but decided to go ahead and order our second course. For the second course, we shared the Pan Seared Redfish with summer vegetables, and the Steak Frites. The fish was delicate, light and the fennel broth made this dish a winner. The Steak Frites consisted of rubbed prime flat iron steak, garlic aïoli and bordelaise sauce-SO GOOD! The truffle fries were plentiful and, when combined with the sauce, resulted in a perfect accompaniment to this meal. For the final course, we shared the Black Forest Cake and the Peaches & Cream (caramelized puff pastry with peach jam, and mascarpone custard). Both desserts were the explanation points of the evening. At the end of the night, we told Kelly that we loved the combination of the "naughty and nice" pairings for this magical dining experience. (For example, the beignets and the salad, plus the redfish and the steak, allow you to both eat healthy and eat decadent.) A final shout out to the General Manager, Scott, who gave me an excellent tour of the outside beer garden (not occupied due to the rain that evening) and the major beer brewery facility next to it. TV screens are available in the garden, and would be an excellent party place for watching football this Fall. I think I have my next visit to The Ravenous Pig planned in the coming weeks. Great service and great food made this easily a 5-star evening.

They even have a brewery!! It's incredible and a testament to how good they are. I was re-reading my old review and was impressed with how they've kept up with obtaining and working with local growers and butchers. I'm sure that's been a big reason behind their continued success. Our waiter Billy was excellent. We were a group of 5 having a girl's dinner. He was great at answering all our questions and recommending certain items to us. We all chose from the magical dinning menu, what a deal! We all ordered different things and they were all excellent. The gatherer salad and the beignets were our favorites for the appetizers. For the entrees; The Red fish was so delicious, but I also tried a piece of the steak frites and that was fantastic as well. The Steak was super tender. That house made pasta linguine with shrimp was incredible as well. The black forest cake dessert was really good. I like that it wasn't too sweet. I love that they continuously update their menu in accordance to what is seasonal. The only critique I have is that when we first arrived, they had trouble finding our reservation. I had to pull up the email confirmation (Which I did confirm) A confirmation that they had actually sent me the previous day. The hostess lady seemed annoyed and asked us to sit and wait while they got a table ready. We waited around 15 minutes. No big deal, but a little nerve wracking when she said: "I don't see your name here." It's a good thing I kept that email confirmation. I'm actually really looking forward to coming back and trying other things from their menu, as well as their house-brewed beer.

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.

The dip with toasted bread was perfect for sharing, the cocktails were creative, and the key lime pie was a smooth finish to the night. But the service really elevated the experience.

It's commonly known that there is an overwhelming amount of restaurants listed for Magical Dining, and The Pinery was our first choice! We have heard so many good reviews of this restaurant. Unfortunately, our visit fell short :( I want to begin with how lovely our hostess, bartender, and server was. I'm sure the reasons behind our negative experience is beyond their control. We were sat 45 minutes past our reserved dinner time. The short ribs from the main courses ran out. That was our top choice and we were saddened to learn of the sellout for the night. The bread service we ordered was terribly stale. The fried green tomato lacked taste and flavor. The shrimp and grits dish was delicious! I honestly don't think the cornbread was necessary for this dish. The tradition shrimp, sausage, grits, and gravy were perfectly paired and did not require the cornbread. The cornbread itself was part of the bread service, which lacked taste and appeared stale. The desserts were the star of the show. I was informed they make everything in house to include the desserts. Amazing job! Also, because of the delay, we were gifted an additional dessert. Thank you so much! I'd be happy to return one day to give it another shot. We had such high expectations based on the reviews we've heard from others. I also understand it was a Sunday evening, but also a business this popular could be a bit more prepared for the rush. Nonetheless, thank you for your hard work and for welcoming us.

It was bland, lacked flavor, and wasn't nearly sweet enough for my taste. The Slimmer juice, made with pineapple, cucumber, and lemon, was pretty good and refreshing. But that steak sandwich stole the show! It was REALLY, really good! The flavor was on point, and I would definitely order it again. Overall, I think this is a cute little café with a fun, artsy atmosphere and friendly service. If I'm in the area again, I'd stop by to grab the steak sandwich to go!

Expanding the number of guests from the original reservation was not an issue at all. Contemporary decor, airy dining space and an open kitchen create a trendy, upscale setting.

She made sure our long table was never overloaded with unnecessary clutter. Her knowledge and guidance were precise and valuable. Not everyone in our party went with the MD menu. A downside was late pizza delivery for those who ordered it. The rest of us were well into our meals by the time pizzas finally arrived. Apologies and updates were provided, though. Another fail was the MD meatball appetizer (Albondigas). Disappointment rolled into a ball. Bland, dry meat. Nuts and sauce provided only mediocre flavor. First bite of Pork Pappardelle was a bit salty, but more savory balanced as I continued on. Finished the entire dish. Sticky Toffee Cake was warm, spongey goodness. Thinking about it takes me to a happy place. Really enjoyed my glass of Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc. Right up my alley as a regular pinot grigio enthusiast. I know I'll return. The brunch menu is very enticing.

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.

Chef Bruno was very personable and came to talk with us each time between courses. We enjoyed the interaction. The vibe and atmosphere in the restaurant was great. Each of the 11 courses were very good. Standouts were: the foie gras torchon over caramelized blueberries, the octopus (which was so tender and delectably grilled), and that glorious black truffle butter that was served with charcoal bread as part of the charcuterie. The written menu (attached) is not very descriptive, but each course has complex, multiple layers. As an example, the fish course is just listed as "Wreckfish" ... but it was actually fish with hop shoots and morel mushrooms, over creamed corn plus a sauce. We thought the price point was good, and we enjoyed our evening at Foreigner.
