Figtastic flatbread
Cecilia K.

Stopped in for a quick bite and had a nice time. Our server was super personable and chatted with us throughout our meal. It was still pretty early when we went but overall the vibe was nice and well put together. Definitely recommend the Boca morada if you like mezcal!

Lost at Sea is the blue, old fashion on the right

Good bar food and great drinks! We already had dinner but tried their deviled eggs. Our server/bartender Eddy was attentive and made our drinks in a timely manner. They have a full bar if nothing on the drink menu catches your eye but definitely try Cloud 9 Lost at Sea or their old fashioned.

Nice place. It was quiet when we came but it looks clean and casual. The menu looks promising. Service is good so far!

Figtastic Flatbread
An N.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by the hostess and seated immediately. The restaurant has a really nice ambience and I really enjoyed their selection of music that was playing at the time. We ordered the figtastic flatbread as an appetizer and then had the steak frites, subbed the fries for coleslaw, and the bourbon burger as our entrees. I really enjoyed the figtastic flatbread because the flavors were savory and sweet and everything on there paired really well together. The steak frites and bourbon burger were really nothing too special in my opinion. The burger tasted pretty normal despite having the browned butter bourbon signature sauce and the steak frites is exactly what you would expect it to be. The only real downside was the service. Although we were seated immediately, it took us a while to get waters and the menu. Our server was kind of inattentive and was not too present during our time there. We didn't even have silverware whenever our food came out and couldn't find our server to flag him down, so we had to flag someone else down. Same with when our water needed to be refilled.

Whatever you do, don't sleep on this place. All of the burgers are absolutely phenomenal. They have all of the whiskey you can think of the service was top-tier and such a amazing ambience.

What a great place. Excellent service from Melissa, I am not a huge fan of pretzels, but this one is incredible. Fresh, huge, simple and would get again. Burgers are medium unless you order otherwise, the bourbon burger, prime rib dip was fantastic. The fig burger was good, though has too much going on and would order a different burger next time. Overall the ambience, food quality and service is among the best I have experienced in Orlando.

Cristina R.

Service was excellent, as I expected to be. Everyone was very happy and friendly. I will say pricing was a little high but that's also expected because it's pointe Orlando. Food options were basic but nothing too crazy.

Pina collada dessert. Yum!
Char A.

The restaurant was very clean and the staff was professional. I was surprised how few people were there on a Friday night. Our drinks were lovely but the poor bartenders had to use so many steps to complete one drink. My fav drink was the French pot berry press.

Bubbles Squared
Natalie E.

Taffer's is a great new addition to the Pointe Orlando! I would highly recommend getting the Bubbles Squared and the Big Fig Burger. Cheryl is the best bartender so make sure you ask for her when you go in! She so sweet and makes a great drink

My husband and I have wanted to eat at a restaurant either owned or redesigned by Jon Taffer for many years, and we finally got our wish! This place opened about a week before we arrived for a weekend in Florida. We are beyond thankful! The drinks were perfect, the food was phenomenal, and the staff was helpful and very kind. Taffer's Tavern has an upscale bar feel, but isn't overly fancy...just perfection overall! We can't wait to come back!

Eddie was an INCREDIBLE server! Here on business and we saw that the restaurant was busy! Went with the server recommendations and they did NOT disappoint ! Everything was so fresh, so tasty and the portions were generous! Great music playing and love all of the pictures on the wall! We will be back!

Deviled Eggs

Ambiance was great, service and food was so very good! Started with the Cloud 9 drink, and then the appetizers of deviled eggs and pork belly skewers (both SOOOO very tasty!). I had Chicken Alla Vodka and Hubby had Steak Frites. Topped it all off with coffees and I believe the Sticky Toffee Pudding cake (?). Again, all of the options were phenomenal and would definitely return!!

Awesome welcome sign
Lawrence S.

wow! the atmosphere, the service, the drinks are amazing! go check it out! I give itt two two thumbs up way up !! Can't wait to go back !

Let's focus on the positives first: the atmosphere is incredibly fun and the live music Saturday night was a perfect touch at the bar. There were plenty of fun activities for the kids and there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids with fried chicken and shrimp, macaroni and cheese, fries, and red velvet cupcakes. $25 is a deal if your child would chow down on shrimp, but it might not be a great deal if your child is usually full after four bites. Our server was absolutely fantastic, friendly and very attentive. We started off the dinner with some fantastic deviled eggs and a lemon cello cocktail. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was really disappointed with the tiny, overcooked shrimp and crawfish that accompanied the slightly bland grits. The shrimp on the kids buffet was at least four times larger than the sad little shrimp in my dish. I think the sausage was cut into smaller chunks just so it wouldn't be so obvious how small the shrimp was. My husband didn't love his heirloom tomato salad and said the Wagyu appetizer was disgusting. Dessert was mediocre. The macarons that accompanied my crème brûlée were stale and chewy. This is a fun spot for a drink and appetizer, but I would skip eating dinner at Highball & Harvest.

There are three different choices for seating. A hightop near the bar, regular tables at the bar, sitting at the bar, or sitting at a regular umbrella table by the pool. I guess that makes four options. I chose a high top. The menus are already on the tables and I was quickly seated and greeted by my waitress who asked what I wanted to drink and I ordered a club soda with lime. Yeah variety of good options for appetizers and meals ranging from a hummus salad to burgers to tacos and three kinds of fries including regular potato fries, sweet potato fries, and yucca fries. I opted for the shrimp tacos with a side of sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were nice and crispy and quite yummy. The tacos were not great but not awful and came with a green sauce that was pretty tasty. The tacos are included in the order so it made for a decent sized meal. I was surprised when I received the check to find out that they had charged me six dollars for my club soda. Every restaurant I have ever been to has never charge me for a club soda. So they not only charged me for it but charged me twice because I got a refill. When I pointed this out to the waitress she said it is categorized as a soda but after some discussion she removed one of the charges. So I still had to pay three dollars for a club soda. If you're in the hotel and looking for some quick bite that are a decent meal or hanging out by the pool this is a worthwhile option.

However, it is quite fun, when we got there on a Saturday night, they were having a Taylor Swift look alike performance. I absolutely loved it. It turned out it was happening every hour so we were able to watch her perform twice. They also had someone selling jewelry and an artist painting, overall it is such a fun vibe. If you want a standard table, you need to make a reservation, I made a reservation like 15 minutes before and they only had outdoor seating and high tops available. We chose a high top and it was fine. They do have a kids menu so my son was able to order a cheese pizza with a side of fries and the other one ordered a chicken quesadilla with a side of fruit. On the kids menu it says cheese quesadilla but he really wanted chicken, I was surprised the chicken was a bit spicy. He ate a couple bites and then asked for his own cheese pizza after seeing his brothers. All the plates are meant to be shared so they come out whenever they're ready. My older son's cheese pizza came out immediately and then my younger son's chicken quesadilla came out after all our food had been delivered. I think this is what made him want a cheese pizza because he didn't have his own meal for majority of the time we were eating. When we finally ordered his cheese pizza it then took a long time to come out. I'm guessing it's because it's woodfired and his pizza was behind a ton of other pizzas whereas with my older son we must've ordered at a good time. My absolute favorite dish was the marinated cucumbers. It was a light and delicious. It reminds me of what I find at a Japanese restaurant. I also got the butter chicken, it was OK. I didn't find the chicken super tender so I would skip it next time. We also got the maple glazed chicken wings. I found the breading to be overly salty. I ended up taking off all of the breading and my younger son ate a ton of the chicken. I would skip it next time. We got the steak skewers, which were pretty delicious. Again didn't love it so probably would get something else next time. My husband did not like his ribs so he definitely should skip that next time. So overall, the food was OK, but my kids absolutely destroyed their pizza and I love the atmosphere, which is why I'm giving this place four stars. I see that it has great potential. If parking is a problem, I recommend parking at icon park and walking because it's about five minutes away. Our server was super nice, she was a bit slow, but she also had a giant table next to us, which could've contributed to that. I would definitely come back. I enjoyed our experience here.
