    Great local bar with amazing craft cocktails. Happy hour sliders are $4.50 and they are amazing! Bartenders love their job and provide great service.

    We came in for some bites and drinks and had a great experience. The bar is beautiful. Service was amazing! So friendly and attentive. I loved the soft pretzel bites with pimento cheese. It's a great dish to share. For my drink, I got the Beijing Bikini. It was pretty and delicious. My girlfriends all love the Day Dreamer and order it every time. They all got curly fries and loved those as well. One of my friends didn't like her cocktail and they enthusiastically switched it out for something she loved. Another one of my friends doesn't drink and didn't like the sound of the only mocktail on the menu. They were kind enough to create one for her. They made her a delicious NA drink with a flower. We really appreciated the extra effort to accommodate her. We love The Courtesy!

    The service is fantastic, they take walkups and it's such a picturesque type of place. The decor is so good for Halloween and Christmas! You can buy the glassware to take home! I love this place ! The food is real good too do it! Go

    Halloween cocktail

    My book group came here during their Halloween-themed period and we had a great time. They must be doing something right here because there was a line forming outside before they opened! We all tried some of their Halloween-themed food and cocktails and everything was 10 out of 10. I do think the cocktails were a smidge overpriced in some cases, considering how the glass was 90% ice and 10% cocktail. That being said, good cocktails are always worth the money. The decor inside was maximalist Halloween fun and well done. It's so nice to see establishments really "get into it" instead of just tossing up some Spirit Halloween crap. This was my first visit here and I'm looking forward to coming back. Hopefully they do great themes for other holidays too. Considering the location, size, and popularity, reservations are strongly suggested. Check it out and let us know what you think!

    The Courtesy is one of the oldest Instagramable bars in Orlando. It took me a while to finally go, but I did. It was a Friday around 6 p.m., and it was already packed. I was glad to see there was parking in the back when I arrived, always an important factor these days in Orlando, which keeps getting busier and busier. The bar has cozy lighting, and the Halloween décor was spectacular. Worth a visit to The Courtesy just for that. The bar specializes in cocktails, and their Halloween cocktail menu was long and creative. That said, since I wasn't really in the mood for a cocktail, I ordered a glass of white wine instead. The appetizers, however, aren't as inventive. We ordered curly fries, Brussels sprouts, and the smash burger. The latter was a bit of a disappointment: the patties were thin, overcooked, and almost tasted like a frozen burger. The other two were good, with the sprouts being my favorite. I plan to go back for one of their cocktails with those long descriptions; maybe I'll just pick the one with the longest description and see how it goes.

    I absolutely love the pop-up events that happen during spooky season and the holidays! I've been to Miracle on Orange (their Christmas pop-up) before and had an amazing time, so I was really excited to finally experience Nightmare on Orange this year. The bar is completely transformed into a spooky empire with incredible themed decor and custom drinks to match the vibe. It can be tough to get in, so I highly recommend making a reservation. I booked one for my birthday with friends and the process was super easy. Once seated, we took our time going through the menu because everything sounded so creative and fun. The drinks are beautifully presented. They are spooky, detailed, and Instagram-worthy. The wait for our drinks was a bit long, but we were taking our time choosing, so it wasn't a big deal. The one downside: our server didn't seem very familiar with the drinks, which was surprising for such a small, specialty menu. My friend is vegan and double-checked before ordering. She told him the Bite of the Shinigami was safe, but it arrived with a donut on top and a creamy texture that turned out to contain egg. Definitely not vegan. The manager tried to fix it by saying we could just remove the donut, but another employee quickly corrected that. The manager did make things right in the end, but it was still disappointing for our friend. On the plus side, the drink was delicious, just not vegan-friendly. I ordered the Bernie Lomax Reviver. This drink was spooky, flavorful, and so fun! My friends tried the Phoenician Scream, which had a Ghostface-inspired look. We also did the Trick or Treat shots for my birthday and let's just say if you like Rumple Minze, you'll enjoy the "Trick." Personally, I was not a fan, but it lived up to its name! Overall, we had a great time. The atmosphere and decorations are amazing, and the drinks are unique and visually stunning. They are a bit pricey, but honestly, it's all about the experience. I'll definitely be back for Miracle on Orange this holiday season. I just hope next time the staff are a little more knowledgeable about the menu. When guests ask for recommendations, "they're all good" doesn't quite cut it at this price point.

    Love this place, we come year round, but during Christmas it is definitely something special. I have to shout out their smash burgers!! One of my favorite smashburgers in Orlando. Last year (2024 Christmas) they had a minty creamy drink that they did not have this Christmas PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

    After being told these were the best drinks in Orlando from my friend out of town, I decided to FINALLY make the trip over to the Courtesy for their Nightmare in Orange event! We were able to be sat right away at the bar on a Tuesday evening. The definitely went all out with the decor and ambiance- go figure why it's the best Halloween pop-up bar in Orlando. Our first drinks were the Bite of the Shinigami and Phoenician Scream. Cleverly themed, amazingly tasty. For the second, we decided on the milk punch option and oh my god??? BEST milk punch ever. I am a SUCKER for a good milk punch and their's hit the spot. Our service was amazing as well. Shout out to Tracy for bringing some amazing energy to the place. Looking forward to being back for their normal operations as well, if I don't make another stop back for that milk punch.

    Hands down one of the best cocktail bars in Central Florida. The Courtesy Cocktail Bar in Winter Park is an absolute gem. The bartenders here are incredible. Seriously, they can make any cocktail you throw at them, and somehow make it better than you imagined. The creativity behind the bar is unmatched. Their menu is always changing, so there's something new and exciting every time I visit. Seasonal themes are a blast. They go all out for Halloween and Christmas, which makes the whole experience even more special. The food is just as good as the drinks. I highly recommend the slider trio. It's the perfect pairing with any cocktail and always hits the spot. If you're lucky enough to book one of their cocktail classes on a Saturday afternoon, do it. They're super fun, well-organized, and you actually learn a lot. Favorite drink that's regularly on the menu is the Deku Tree, unbelievably good. I've been multiple times now and haven't had a single bad experience. If you're into quality cocktails, a fun vibe, and great food, this is your place.

    I wandered into The Courtesy in Winter Park and immediately thought, "Ah, this is where stylish people come to pretend they understand mixology." The place looked fantastic -- Halloween theme on point without feeling like a Spirit Store exploded. Dim lighting, cool crowd, and bartenders who shake a cocktail like it's an Olympic event. Now, the drinks -- wow. These things were beautiful. I'm talking runway-ready beverages. Smoke, color, presentation -- the kind of drinks you take a photo of before you even think about sipping. Then I took that first sip... and realized it was the supermodel of cocktails: stunning to look at, but a little bland in conversation. Still, the atmosphere was great, the service smooth, and it's clearly the kind of spot that knows its aesthetic and leans into it hard. So while my taste buds were hoping for a bit more excitement, my Instagram was thrilled. All in all -- a classy, clever bar where the drinks look like magic tricks and the vibe makes up for what the flavor lacks. I'd absolutely go back... maybe just bring my own simple whiskey next time.

    I showed up for the holiday cheer and I was NOT disappointed. The decor was a true spectacle and the specialty drink menu wasn't just cutesy. It had DEPTH. The staff were friendly and efficient. They have cemented themselves as a holiday staple! I'll be back next year.

    First time visiting for the Miracle on Orange Christmas pop up. The theming throughout the bar is spot on and super cute. They unfortunately don't take reservations for small groups so we had to wait about 30 minutes for 2. But they do have a small bar outside for those that want a drink why you wait. I ordered the candy cane lane drink and it was pretty good but a little pricey for the size. Overall I enjoyed the experience and glad that I finally got to check it out!

    We visited for the holiday pop-up: Miracle on Orange. We had an hour wait as we were a party of three, and they do not take reservations for groups that small. Overall, it was a nice experience. The cocktails were excellent, and we loved that the bar was fully covered in Christmas decor. We really enjoyed the pretzels and fries, and the burger and pulled pork were tasty too.

We dined in last night for my friend's 27th birthday and we were seated on the patio closest to the sidewalk. It started to rain at one point and the manager came over to us to let us know that if the rain picked up or started blowing in towards our table, they had a table available for us inside. The rain ended up stopping, and we were safe to stay outside! We started off with the focaccia and it was nothing like I've ever tasted before. There was this purple Tasman sea salt on top and it was paired with an orange butter. It was hands-down, the best focaccia roll. I've ever put into my mouth. I almost ordered another, but I wanted to save room for dinner. My friend and I split the lobster flatbread and the flavors of the red peppers with the lobster and the special sour cream sauce was delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the Chapman meatballs. They were very flavorful, and it sat on a bed of lentils and a green salsa Verde, which I believe had avocado in it. I need the recipe to these meatballs! They were delicious! I took a few bites of the ahi tuna stack, as well as a few bites of the Involtini. The tuna had a slight spicy kick to it, but was very fresh and flavorful. The Involtini was AMAZING. I almost wish I ordered this as my entree. It had this citrus yogurt that paired really well with the egg eggplant and zucchini and curry. I will definitely be ordering this dish the next time I dine in here! Once it was time for dessert, Maddie informed us that she would be giving us a no bake cheesecake to try. We had also brought in a Bundt cake for my friend's birthday and Maddie provided us with small plates and a knife to cut the cake. The no bake cheesecake was delicious, however I forgot to snag a photo! The restaurant gave my friends happy birthday cards, with personally signed messages from the entire staff. I've never seen anything like it before. This was very special and intimate. Throughout the night, Maddie was very attentive, asking us how everything was tasting, consistently clearing our plates, and filling our waters. Towards the end of the evening, she found out that it was most of our first times there, and she sent us all home with complementary macaroons. I haven't had a dining experience this great in a really long time, so Maddie really made my friend's birthday extra special. Give Maddie her flowers because she deserves it!!!! I will gladly be coming back to The Chapman in the future for a date night, and I hope to have Maddie as my server again!!!

From the design to the menu, there's a clear and intentional connection to the area's heritage, creating an experience that feels both elevated and rooted in the community. The floor of the restaurant is the original terrazzo and the tweed in the booths represents the tweed jackets the founders of Winter Park would have worn.

He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our experience perfect. He knew all of our names, gave great menu recommendations, and was a joy to interact with. Derik delivered, without question, the best service I've experienced at any restaurant.

There's a giant ice cube and a bamboo leaf or something and very little drink to drink. Not sure what to make of this because as soon as I was deciding if I liked it or not, it was gone. Wouldn't order this again. Second, I tried a $17 Adam & Eve. I wish the matcha was much stronger. There's a place in Tampa called Tori Bar that has a super duper matcha tasting cocktail. This one was much lighter. It was fine, not my favorite. Maybe I'd bring a date here sometime, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

We went during a holiday-themed menu, so I can't find the specific mocktail I ordered, but I remember I was pretty pleased. They craft their mocktails with quality ingredients. They won't just combine juices, sodas, and lime together and pretend they care about the NA population. As for food, we got a couple of things. We started off with a date app that was stuffed with a tofu ricotta and topped with a fried sage leaf. Wow, what a good bite. A nice, sweet date, creamy, almost-ricotta-like substance inside, and that pop of crispy sage on top. Not a great vegan app, but a great app. Big fan. Then we got one of their Signature Pan Pizzas, The Gardener (tofu ricotta, mushrooms, kale, chutney, caramelized onion, walnut reggiano). Again, not a great vegan pizza, a great pizza. Crispy, crispy crust, and such a wonderful blend of ingredients on top. Creamy ricotta, green bitters from the kale, the sweetness from the chutney, the texture from the walnut concoction, it's all just so perfect. I can't wait to go back to try all the other pizzas.

Let's start with props for being open at that time on a day when most restaurants are still sleeping from the night before. But here, you can get highly-curated, quality Japanese hand-rolls, with Sapporo or Asahi on draft, all kinds of sake, a calm, soothing atmosphere and friendly service. The place itself is very art-directed, modern and purposeful. Apparently it's owned by the Kabooki Sushi team, and the quality speaks for itself. It's not your typical sushi restaurant. It's hand rolls. Which means, seaweed is the wrap. Theirs is imported straight from Japan. And for the record, the seaweed is dense, flavorful and also way healthier for you than a mouthful of rice. I sat for the omakase which included a very delicious hamachi appetizer. Then an onslaught of handrolls including lobster, eel, a lean and fatty tuna (toro, the best) and a spicy root vegetable of the name I can't remember. In all, this place has great hours. A wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. And flavors that you can explore because the folks there want you to have fun eating the food as they prepare it. It's very live and fresh. And I'm super grateful it's just a few blocks away because I'll leave you with this. The prices are reasonable too. 5 stars all around.
