    This is our go-to spot for girls night out. And for good reason. Nestled in the middle of Baldwin Park shopping area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant provides a nice, fine dining environment for us. Girls to chat, eat and drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They're happy hour. Selections cannot be beat whether it's libations or bites. Service here is super friendly and attentive. They are also very helpful when deciding which menu item to choose. The enthusiasm from the servers hostesses and bartenders regarding their food and drinks is just as intoxicating as their drinks. Between their steak entrees and their seafood entrees, you have your work cut out for choosing what you're going to be munching on at the Osprey. If you're in the area and wanting a great dining every experience at a reasonable price than this place is definitely worth your while.

    It's been a few years since I've dined at The Osprey. I used to come here often, most times because they do a good happy hour, and they still do but I noticed that some things have definitely changed. One of my favorite happy hour items use to be their fish dip. It had this intense smokey flavor and various seasonings like fresh dill and capers. No capers that I could see, the smoky flavor was so subtle that I wondered if it was even smoked at all. It used to come with house made chips and now they've downgraded it to ritz crackers which I have to admit, was a huge let down. I know things are getting more expensive but just charge the extra buck or two for the house made chips, don't give me some cheap crackers from a box. Oysters are still very good, the calamari was still good. A new item on the happy hour menu this time was the grouper sliders and those were just not good I'm sorry to say. The fish tasted dry and it was bland; I literally only took a bite and left the rest. Someone in our party ordered the steak frites and I got to try some of that; very, very good! I would definitely order that again. My favorite thing I have to say were the mussels and frites. I wanted to drink that broth like soup, soooo flavorful! Amazing service! Jacob could not have been more attentive to our needs! And that's one of the reasons I'll keep coming back to the Osprey.... Just take those sliders off the happy hour menu and bring back the house made chips for the dip. Until next time!

    Another great visit to the Osprey! This time I tried the mussels and the smash burger - and of course we came for happy hour! Love that happy hour extends to Saturday. The mussels were actually a big standout and some of the best I've had recently - I'd definitely order again! They came with a side of fries which was a nice touch. The burger was filling and tasty, and I upgraded to the garlic fries. Yum! Can't wait to keep exploring the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We weren't rushed and could take our time at dinner, and the vibes are always great for a Saturday![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Half a hot dog and half a burger. I was hungry

    We come here occasionally and love the food. This time I had to post a review because our server, Jacob, was amazing. Very attentive and treated us like we were at a 5 star restaurant. Never had an empty drink, he switched out the silverware and was so sweet and professional. Please let home see this because he represents your restaurant well. Tonight they had a special of homemade hotdogs and we got our favorite smash burger. As usual the food was tasty, filling and fresh. But this experience was the best we ever had here. Less salt on the burger would be appreciated.

    If I could give more stars, I would from the moment we walked in, we were cared for and given five star treatment Cassidy our waitress was amazing. She went over the menu and happy hour specials with Great detail to make sure we got what we wanted. She was attentive, checking on us several times throughout our dining experience, we also were helped by a gentleman named Woody He checked on us a few times and he spent time with us to check on our dining experience not your typical manager check in where they just say how's your food have a great night and he did this for several tables around us. I will be coming back to the Osprey many many times to come.

    Such a letdown unfortunately. It was my pick for Mother's Day. I was swayed by some very glowing reviews, which contributed to my high expectations. Made a reservation for 7 p.m. Arrived a bit early and had to kill some time at the bar, as they were only seating on-time. I ordered an espresso martini, which looked more like a shot than a cocktail. It wasn't great. Not the right consistency. Weak color. Once seated at our table, my party of 3 ordered 2 apps. We all agreed the Ceviche was the most bland we have ever tasted. Served sans lime wedges, which might have helped, but not much. The Crush Puppies were also meh. Rather small portion that appeared to be fried a bit too long. The other cocktail I ordered from their bar menu (grilled cheese and pickle one) was again miniature-looking. Our entrées were a step up from our apps, at least. I was very disappointed that my top pick, the Cioppino, had just sold out. Guess that was a popular dish on Mother's Day. My daughter's Truffle Bucatini had a satisfying flavor. Service was fine. The hostess, however, wasn't all that friendly or helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is nicely styled and has an upscale feel with verdant plants tucked here and there. The central bar has an enticing vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall though, it was an expensive outing that failed to impress us.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful restaurant located close to Lake Baldwin.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had reservations for brunch at 11 am. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When you walk in you will notice a large bar in the center of the restaurant. They also have an open kitchen where you can view the chefs whipping up your order[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was pretty empty but had filled up a little bit more by around noon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are steep but the food was high quality and fresh. Our waitress was prompt and attentive to our group of 6. I ordered the wedge salad and a side of poached egg. The egg was perfectly poached. My wedge salad was very tasty and had a large piece of bacon in top with plenty of blue cheese dressing which I loved. It had some caramelized onions which added a bit of sweetness in addition to some raw red onions. I would've preferred more onions but didn't ask for more so that's on me. One of my friends ordered the shrimp and grits with the hot sauce on the side. She was not a fan of the grits saying it lacked flavor and was very buttery. When she added the hot sauce over the top which is how it was intended to be served, it was more palatable for her but she couldn't finish it. Another friend was able to swap the grits for spinach. I'm not sure if there was an extra charge but it was nice that they accommodated her request. For drinks, a few of us ordered the carajillo from the brunch drink menu for $10. It tasted like an espresso martini. I would definitely order it again. Not a lot of breakfast type options for brunch but was a pleasant experience overall.

    We visited the Osprey on Mother's Day and it was a good experience, but not great. In full transparency, it seemed like maybe they were understaffed and the restaurant tables were full the entire time we were there. We arrived at 12:40 for our 1pm reservation and were told to come back at 1pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our group of 4 sat at the bar (which was shockingly completely empty).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated at 1pm and given menus, but after about 10 minutes we were approached by the manager and asked to move to another table because they needed our table for another party. No big deal - we moved. We were given the cruller for our inconvenience. We ordered shortly after seating but it took about 45 minutes to get the broiled oyster appetizer out (which was only for 2 of the 4 in our party) and another 40 minutes for our meals after that. Some of the food was great - the burger and mahi sandwich. But there were some big misses. My beet salad felt like a side salad. The chicken had no seasoning and some bits were very mushy. The kale was very tough and the goat feta seemed like it had run out. Another person in our party ordered crab cake Benedict and the dish was cold. Our server was busy with many tables the entire time - so we don't blame him for not making it back to our table after the food arrived. We would definitely give them another go, as the elements were all there, but I think it was too busy with too little help - next visit would be on a calmer day. They gave us chocolate chip cookies to go for the experience and I have to say - I don't even like chocolate chip cookies and these were absolutely delicious.

    Petite Seafood Tower

    For my 2000th review, I wanted to review one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando (besides Taco Bell, of course). I'll start by saying I felt like an Osprey (seafood eating bird of prey) eating here. Oh what I wouldn't give to fly around the restaurant picking food from every diners' plates and head into the kitchen with my Osprey gang and prey upon every delicious morsel of seafood at this place. On our first trip, we had the petite seafood tower and wow, what a dish. I'd be happy with this and a few cocktails honestly. The Amberjack was also very delicious and a good backup for the Snapper, which they (sadly) ran out of. The second trip was a tasting dinner and it was out of this world amazing. There were 6 of us and the staff at the restaurant was so hospitable and amazing. Our server Alex was outstanding and set all of the wine pairings with the food and she did an amazing job. I wonder if she knows what wine to pair with a Taco Supreme? I bet she does. There were 9 courses spread over almost 3 hours and we all left super full. I won't review each course, but know that each was made with fresh ingredients, creativity, and love. Everything from the charcuterie grazing board to the oysters and scallops to the lobster roll to the tilefish to the steak to the desserts was fabulous. Thanks to Amber who put the whole thing together along with the chefs in the kitchen who came out after to say hi. Also thanks to all the staff who assisted with the delivery and plate clearing. Let's not forget the dishwasher who earned their pay in washing silverware alone! Great restaurant with a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. If that isn't 5 stars, then I don't know what is! Cheers to everyone here! One more thing... finally, the cookie at the end, in a little to-go bag, was delicious and salty. And who doesn't love a Salty Cookie? ;)

    Went here for a quick happy hour and had the steak frites and it was delicious! The steak was cooked perfect to order. I always have mine well done but not burned or dry. Usually it doesn't come out the way I like it when ordered at other places, but The Osprey knew what they were doing. They are a great selection of happy hour cocktails as well. The space was spacious and they also had both indoor and outdoor seating. I had a puppy with me, so sitting outside was a great option.

    If you love oysters and fresh seafood - The Osprey is a must! They have a pretty extensive collection of Oysters, ranging from Florida, East Coast, West Coast, and others! I personally liked the Florida oysters the best, and they have an oyster happy hour Monday - Friday! The baked oyster really won me over - it was savory and delicious. Quite filling too! I also appreciated the creativity of the Tuna Tartare, served in an Indian-style Pani Puri! I wish it had a little extra something, it needed a little more flavor (spice? Truffle? Chilli oil?) and a little less citrus from the avocado mousse. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super great location in Baldwin Park, and great interiors![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was exceptional as well. :)

    I am giving a four out of five for my overall experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is beautiful and most of the staff were great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My experience was hindered by how cold I felt in the restaurant even with wearing a light jacket. It was a cold night and the restaurant AC was also blowing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would like to say that outside my discomfort, the food and my experience with our server was phenomenal! I tried west coast oysters which have become a favorite of mine now! Absolutely delicious! My food was flavorful and the various spices danced around my mouth! I was well satisfied after my meal. I also enjoyed the warm cookie given out after our meal. I highly recommend this restaurant but be sure to dress warm or bring an extra layer! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is great for dates and groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a bar in the middle of the restaurant that allows guests to be served at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This was my first time at the Osprey and I will definitely be back! On Monday's, happy hour runs all night. I ordered the mussels and fries from the happy hour menu for $14. The portion size was huge! I was surprised by how many mussels I received! The fries were crispy and delicious! Such a great deal! Our waitress was so kind and attentive. Highly recommend!

    Where is the best place to sit?

    The seafood is amazing along the balcony or by the wine display

    Are pets allowed if we choose outdoor seating?

    I've seen lots of dogs under the table whenever I walk by. It shouldn't be a problem

    Are they dog friendly if outside?

    There is outdoor seating (not a patio) and dogs are allowed at those tables.

    Lived in Orlando for three weeks. Where's the best spot for parking?

    There's street parking on New Broad St and there's a lot behind the restaurant!

    Is there outdoor sitting with a view?

    There is outdoor seating but it faces a street. The the lake can't be seen from the seats.

This location was recommended by a few friends so maybe it was a bad night but I was not a fan. Our bartender seemed extremely disinterested. He took an ridiculously long time to make 3 drinks. Then when he was done he was giving our drinks to the group next to us. We go to pay and he walks away only taking my one friends card. Then starts making more drinks with her card in his hand. That was another wait to get our cards back. The decor was really pretty and the crowd had good vibes but two other women came up to us to complain about the bartender as well. It seems they were too busy taking shots to care about their patrons. Our drinks sucked but it was a pretty place to sit and chat with friends. Like I said, Ive heard good things about this bar so hopefully it was just an off night but I won't be rushing back to try again.

    After months of anticipation... I finally made it to Alfie's…read more It was exactly what I was hoping it would be: a slice of culture. Real people. Real life. Real youth. Real energy. Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list. Go after 9 or 10 PM and plan to stay for at least two hours. That's when you really see the scene develop and come alive. Bring your ID: they card at the door. Even at my age, I still get carded.

However, we initially entered to get a picture in the photobooth for our friends birthday. There was no one at the door checking IDs. After we all piled into the photobooth, someone walked up and asked for our IDs. He wanted us to exit the booth to get them. Eventually said ok because we had already paid and on a timer. But he was very impatient. Let me add that there was not a single person in the entire place. NO ONE. Let me also add that almost our entire group is almost 40. So we're obv not underage. With the way he approached us and was completely impatient, we were a little turned off and left. Which lost them money on our entire group. He followed us out the door as we left. It was a weird experience especially when there was literally no one else in there. The music was good but I doubt and of us will to back based on that experience alone.

The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.
