You will find her on the floor helping customers discover new wines that suit their palate or behind the bar, serving her regulars. Swirlery has a huge inventory of bottles for sale which can feel overwhelming, but they are there to educate and provide tastings as well. They also serve craft beer and wine by the glass in a relaxed casual atmosphere inside along with an outdoor patio in the back. Additionally, Swirlery offers wine education programs and community classes if you're looking to expand your wine knowledge or even just discover what you like. Her space is also available for event rentals and they host many events for the community. I recently attended a Women's History Month networking event here and purchased a couple glasses of a delicious dry sparkling rosé (not sweet -- just the way I like it) while enjoying the company of inspirational women in our community.

It was nice being able to actually relax and enjoy the space without dealing with a packed bar or loud crowds. I do wish they carried Sancerre since that's my personal preference, but there were still plenty of great wine options to choose from. The food was phenomenal, and the trout sandwich was definitely the highlight for me. It was flavorful, well prepared, and honestly exceeded my expectations. Between the food, wine selection, and overall vibe, I had a really enjoyable experience here. I'd definitely come back, especially on a weekday when it's less busy, and would recommend checking it out if you're looking for a laid-back spot with great food and drinks.

I could not believe how many people were coming and going in the hour or so that we were there. I'd like to pop back in after a work day and see how the week day vibes are.

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. It's a popular place, so the noise level gets up there. Our server, Shenica, was a pro, flawlessly meeting our needs with vibrancy. 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.

Surprisingly, it was freezing outside, and everyone was in sweaters. This small, but adorable country cabin themed, outdoor bar is part of Wekiva island. All the staff looked like they were having a good time, and were pretty quick at noticing when you needed service. There was a food truck serving lots of dishes to include vegetarian plates too. I went with French fries which were cooked to perfection, and perfect temperature to combat the cold weather. After eating we were able to find seats on the music side of the bar. We enjoyed our beers while we watched Matt Burke perform live. They have a lot of options of beers on tap and can. You will definitely find something you like here if you're a beer person. Even a few Florida beers to choose from. Overall, this was such an amazing evening. Got to enjoy Santa, cold weather, and good music to help us settle in on Christmas in our new city. Also helped us to get over our fear that we were going to miss all the action in Orlando being out here at the state park, but clearly the party is always happening out here.

Hanger steak stir fry: this was a surprise hit for me, as I didn't expect much of an Asian inspired dish. I also liked the steak here more than the ribeye which is usually not the case for me Short rib: a very generous portion of lush pomme puree; short rib was not bad but not my go-to either Ribeye: my companions largely picked this as their favorite Lobster alfredo: this was our least favorite; not awful but a little flat and uninspired compared to the other dishes

The vibe was dark and romantic, which was perfect for our date night. We ordered the Spinach Rolls for an appetizer and they were delicious. Tender enough to cut with a fork and the crispy bread crumbs added flavor and texture. My husband ordered the fresh fish dish of the evening and it was light and flavorful. It had unique flavors that were delectable. I ordered the Lobster Asparagus Risotto, and it was the best lobster I've had thus far in Orlando. The lobster was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The risotto was creamy and the asparagus tender which was a perfect complement to the lobster. For dessert we ordered the Banana Bread Pudding. The bread pudding was warm and had the texture of a French toast. It was delicious and the whip cream was fresh. The food, service, and ambience were a 10/10. The quality of food is next level and for a fresh/flavorful meal I will always choose The Vineyard.

The cutest and swankiest little bar, perfect for a date night or girls night!…read more I came in for my birthday and I felt special right from the start with a card that the staff signed. I ordered the Milk Punch which was delicious and a good balance of sweetness. My friend got the Margarita and also enjoyed it. To eat, we shared the Say Cheese Board which perfectly fit the vibe of the lounge and had a good mix of cheese, fruit, and bread (which they will bring you more of if you'd like). Definitely shareable and a great start. We then had the Gambas A La Ajillo which may have been my favorite of the night. They have a tableside presentation for it where they cut up the egg and shrimp, mix it all together, and then crush salty chips on top. The chips get a little chewy in the sauce and it's incredible! Lastly, we had the Risotto A La Amatriciana which was a fun take on a "traditional" risotto that most of us are used to. The risotto was in little fried balls, like arancini, and broken apart and tossed in the sauce tableside. Every bite had that crispy texture and was another great dish. 3/3! The ambiance was very laid back and I would love to come back on a night that they are spinning records. Service was great without being too overpowering, and the decor was beautiful. We sat in these huge comfortable leather chairs that I wanted to take home with me! Parking was also easy as there is a garage next door. Absolutely would revisit Sparrow and totally recommend it to others!
