Hotel bar in a cute boutique hotel under the 408. It can be a little tricky to find if you are not familiar with the area. Parking can be a little tricky as well out on the street. When we first walked in there was a large group in the bottom so we headed upstairs and grabbed a table. Everything is done via the mobile app, but we did have 2 servers stop to check on us. I asked to get some lime for my water and it never was brought over. We had ordered a round of cocktails, but be aware that if you plan on sitting and chatting keep an eye on your phone since your tab will automatically cash out after 20 minutes. Since we were chatting we didn't notice that and since already cashed out we decided to leave after one drink. The decor is cute, but it is an older building and has a strange odor when you first walk in, but I guess I got used to it since I didn't notice it by the end.

Tried The Wellborn for the first time this past week for my boss's birthday, and I'm so glad I did! The space is absolutely beautiful full of charm and history, which makes the whole experience feel extra special. Service was great from start to finish. The manager even brought out celebratory shots for us, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. Chef David did an amazing job the meatballs were hands down my favorite! Overall, such a great night. I'll definitely be back, especially to check out brunch.

I went to The Wellborn for Sunday brunch and wow, it truly felt like a hidden gem in Orlando. Walking in felt like discovering a magical garden and stumbling upon a beautiful place to start the day. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, which I loved. There's also a cozy fire pit area that seems like it would be perfect in the evening, so I definitely want to come back at night to experience that atmosphere. Inside, the space feels like a charming mansion with multiple living room-style areas where you can relax, play games, watch TV, or just enjoy the ambiance. We ended up sitting outside on the balcony patio, which had lots of seating and a really peaceful vibe. Even the bathroom was aesthetically beautiful, and yes, there's a ball pit in the bathtub! The staff mentioned that the balls are sanitized every day, which made me feel comfortable enough to jump in for a quick photo. Ordering food and drinks is done through an app, but servers still come by to check on you. Our server, Aneesa, was incredibly sweet. Even though she mentioned she was new, she did an amazing job helping us choose our orders and quickly getting answers to any questions we had. Not only Aneesa, but the entire staff was welcoming from the moment we walked in. You could tell they noticed our excitement (probably because it was our first time!) and they made us feel very comfortable. I'll definitely be coming back, next time I'm bringing some friends or maybe a date so we can sit by the fire pit and enjoy the evening atmosphere.

I've been wanting to come here for years and I finally made it over. I came with a semi larger party. We got there early and was able to get a larger table upstairs. The first thing I noticed was how large the space was with outdoor seating as well as plenty of indoor seating. The moment you step inside you get the retro feel of the place. It's like going to your grandparents' house in the coziest of ways. Ordering is easy you scan the QR at your table and can keep an open tab. They bring things out made to order as you order them. We got there early enough to take advantage of the happy hour specials for drinks that evening. I got two: the Matcha Martini and the Two Tickets. The martini was creamy and very matcha. It felt like I was drinking a matcha latte. Very dangerous. Haha. The Two Tickets was refreshing and fruity. I nice contrast to the martini. Food is served tapas style so you can share with the group or eat on your own. My main dish was the Brie Grilled Cheese. It was quite filling. The brussel sprouts were a nice mix is tart and creamy with the cheese. I ended my meal with the burnt basque cheesecake. It was sweet enough to satisfy but not an overly sweet dessert. My table also got the charcuterie to share. We all enjoyed our meals and had a nice evening. We opted to park in the parking garage next door with a short walk over. It was raining when we went so we hope to come back when the weather is nicer. P.S. Go into the bathroom on the 2nd floor to get the famous bathtub photo!

Service is efficient, drinks are creative and delicious. The food that I have tried both at brunch and late night has been good. I really do like the system of starting your own check and ordering and paying on your phone. It makes the Wellborn a great place to come with a group because it streamlines the ordering, check splitting and paying process. Plus, it makes it much easier when someone wants to leave before the rest of the group. Great atmosphere but lackluster parking options.

This place is so cute! It's like a cute little garden area. Come dressed to impress. The prices are pretty high, but the food and drinks are good and aesthetically pleasing. Summer time it's so hot to sit outside so just know you'll be sweating like crazy, but you can go inside and find seating in the ac.

Cucumber and tomato burrata salad

It's been a bit since I've come by the Wellborn, but it was just as great as I remember! We came for drinks and a light dinner, and the weather was perfect for sitting outside on their big porch. I love the amount of fun, cozy, eclectic seating both indoors and out. My favorite cocktail remains the Best Friend, as I'm a gin gal through and through, but everyone loved their seasonal cocktails as well. We went for the sliders, meatballs, and cucumber salad to split, and they were all tasty! The salad was probably my favorite of the small plates we got. I will admit, I don't always love ordering on the QR codes instead of with a human because I think it makes it less intuitive to ask for extra plates, etc from your server, but it is efficient and allows everyone to order with less confusion! Regardless, I'll be back soon.

This place is absolutely stunning and such a great spot to come chill, relax, and just vibe. The atmosphere is beautiful, ethereal, and makes you feel like you are somewhere completely different. That said, I do not really recommend eating here. The food and drinks are very expensive for what they are, and the quality does not always justify the price. The drinks used to be better the first few times I came, but lately they have been inconsistent. Service is also pretty slow and could use more attention. I will still keep coming back for the ambiance alone, but the food and drink quality could definitely improve to match the setting and pricing, I would give it a 3.5.

I went with a friend for the spring event with the butterfly release. It wasn't too crowded and beautiful weather on the courtyard. Service is automated with QR codes on edge table and was very quick the day I went, as well as a fast moving line for the outside drink truck. The food was very good to offset the mimosa flight, but I would have like a little more ham then cheese in the jamon croquettes. Overall great event!

Best Friends

Lucked out this visit to the Wellborn. Found parking very quickly on the street. The weather was just perfect and of course the service was excellent! Sat outside on their second floor deck where you can overlook all the outdoor seating. The vibe was just inviting. Had some seasonal cocktails and shareable snacks. Just a really great way to start off the weekend. Drink Responsibly, Cheers!

Jamón Croquettes
Allison M.

Best Happy Hour in Orlando! Drinks and food are amazing. My favorite drink is the Best Friends. Favorite food is definitely the Jamón Croquettes. Service is the best, you scan a QR code on your table and order from your phone. Food and drinks come out quickly and the staff is really sweet. The patio has plenty of outside seating with TVs and fans. There is also a huge garden area with seating. The upstairs bathroom is really cool with the original tub filled with plastic balls.

Best Friends and Two Tickets
Katie H.

Stopped in on a Saturday night for drinks. The atmosphere is amazing! It's so whimsical and peaceful out back under the trees and string lights. We got the "Best Friends" and "Two Tickets", both were very yummy. I love that's it seat yourself and self service through a QR code. Our drinks came out very quickly each time. Definitely will be back and hopefully order some food next time too!

Are lunch reservations accepted? Tried to call them, just get a voice mail. Reached out online, received a response to call...?

Hi Jennifer! We're currently all open seating, so it's all first come, first served! We do reserve sections for larger parties, which can be requested via this form: teammarketinggroup.tripleseat.com/party_request/26809. If you have any additional… 

Does the Wellborn have bottomless on Sunday?

We have a $25 mimosa flight special, which includes a bottle and an assortment of juices!

Is the restaurant within close walking distance of Dr Phillips Center?

Yes, it maybe a little tricky to navigate because it is the other side of the 408 overpass so be careful. But it is less than 5 min walking.

Is all of the seating outdoors or is there covered/indoor seating in the event of inclement weather?

Yes they have seating on the covered patio and inside the house. I've been there during the bad rain and was fine on the patio

Just want to ask since it's Downtown.. do they have their own parking lot?

No it's street parking if your eating but there is parking if your staying at the hotel

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. No complaining about that ! lol

We entered around 8 pm on a Wednesday. We considered getting a drink since it was cold inside and…read morethe music was good. 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.

FIRST OFF. HUNTER. Second, HUNTER. And last, HUNTER DAMN IT…read more If you are looking for a new BEST hookah spot, you need to tap into One Lounge. It is such a relaxing environment, think of this like a high end cocktail bar but for hookahs. Almost any flavor you could imagine, they have. I thought I understood the world of hookah until I came here. I left with a Masters in Hookology and I am hooked - no pun intended. The experience and service you receive here is second to none; have you ever been to a really nice restaurant where they know how to pair a nice wine to your dinner? Well they know how to pair a nice hookah with your hookah. Have you ever done hookah on hookah? I have, and it is an enlightening experience. I have found a new home to experiment with all the different flavors. Also, moving on to the food, the Plov, the napoleon cake, the Pepperoni Pizza, and the Khachipouri are things I have tried and have been blown away by. It's almost like the first time you use a bidet, mind blowing. And again, I'll bring up Hunter again, he makes you really love enjoying a hookah. Come with an open mind if you don't know what to get and trust in Hunter.

Such a cute little hookah bar with a kosher menu! Unfortunately we arrived close to closing hours…read moreso I wasn't able to experience the lounge in its prime. From what I did see and experience, the lounge was cozy, well decorated for Christmas and very clean! There is indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed a latte on my visit but it was a short visit as they were closing. My friend did order a hot appetizer with chargrilled Spanish octopus which he enjoyed.
