Quaint atmosphere and specialty foods. Live music was a bonus with the out door seating. Great local place
In this restaurant surrounded by century-old oak trees and wooden houses, you can enjoy delicious lasagna, special Marsala white wine, and brisket burgers.

Unique experience! I was worried I would get a Tex-Mex style burrito bowl but ended up being pleasantly surprised by the creativity. My friend had the tacos and I had the pozzolo bowl (minus the cheese) which was really delicious!

Lovely food and nice size portions, reasonably priced. We visited here twice whilst we were in Orlando. The staff were very friendly and took time to explain the menu, the drinks etc.
Lobster dishes in various styles, all tasted very good.

We tried 3 different shakes. Cookie jar, thrilla in vanilla and the red velvet. The most creamy and flavorful shake we’ve ever had! All three shakes even had a cookie and cupcake on top!
Delicious and tasty, the portion is good, I recommend the experience.

I loved our entrees: Cobb salad, Chicken Alfredo, Singh's Macaroni and Cheese. They were well made with quality ingredients. They were exactly as expected, good flavor and cooked just right. Desserts were a little hard because they were frozen...

Reservations are recommended. The pretzels and beer cheese were really good. The fish and chips came out hot and generous. The apple caramel bread pudding is a must for dessert. This place is well worth stopping for a drink, a snack or a meal.
