Great brunch spot in downtown Orlando with a fun, upbeat vibe. I had the catfish and grits, which were well-seasoned and comforting with perfectly crispy catfish. The blueberry pancake was fluffy and flavorful, and the lemon meringue element added a bright, citrusy touch that really elevated the dish.
Good music, great food, and an overall enjoyable experience. Definitely worth checking out for brunch.

We hosted a Mother’s Day brunch at Eola Lounge and it was an absolute dream! From start to finish, everything was seamless, beautiful, and well-organized. The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, the staff was attentive and professional, and our guests felt truly celebrated. The food, drinks, and overall vibe made the entire experience feel special and elevated. It was the perfect setting to honor mothers in a meaningful way. I’m so grateful for such an amazing experience and can’t wait to host another event here.

My boyfriend and I visited eola lounge in 2024 for dinner and was excited to recommend it for my sister’s birthday trip to Orlando. Due to the size of the party she was required to pay a $100 deposit for an 11:30 reservation for Sunday brunch. When we arrived at the restaurant, lights were off and chairs were still on top of the tables. We were told by a server that they had an event the night before and they were still setting up the restaurant. She was mopping at that time. At about 11:55 the server invited our party in and sat us. The restaurant was still dark, most tables still had chairs on top, and decorations were still up from the party. The waitress offered us waters for the meantime and said the bar was still waiting to be set up. The lack of preparedness was unacceptable. When asked for the manager, he took his time to come out and speak with our party. When asked for a refund of our deposit he responded “we don’t typically do refunds, would you like to book for another day.” We were told that the owner had a party the night before so they were still cleaning up. I am not sure how this was our problem due to them knowing we booked our reservation weeks in advance. We will not be back!

Very nice place , awesome staff and great food. I had the rack of lamb and the grilled octopus; they were cooked to perfection. The salted fish fried rice was a little bit too salty for my taste buds but nonetheless it was delicious. And also a great shout-out to the bartenders because they were on point.

The food is soooo good!! I had the chicken and waffles, and was not disappointed. Most places in Orlando either have good food or a great vibe, but they definitely carry both! Lisa the manager was a sweetheart serving us!

I was excited to try this place based on the website’s photos of the food! It looked delicious. Upon arriving we sat out on the patio – there were only about 4 tables sat inside and none outside. Extremely slow for a Saturday night at 8pm. The drinks were delicious and the calamari was top tier. I ordered a Steak medium rare with Crabmeat and asparagus – my partner ordered the Salmon. Once my dish came it out it was plated gorgeously. Right on top of my beautiful sizzling steak laid COLD crabmeat. Completely turned me off my meal straight away.
The server was amazing – she offered another entree straight away. I ordered the Lamb rack medium rare. Unfortunately, as per the pictures below my lamb rack was over cooked and charred on the edges. It was quite chewy. I decided to box it up and it home not wanting to complain again.
Would return here just for drinks – as beautiful as the food is plated – for a restaurant on 1/4th full on a Saturday I would expect the kitchen to pay closer attention to the temperature of the meat as ordered.

On Christmas Eve I had the opportunity to try out this restaurant for a birthday party. The atmosphere was super cute and trendy. A few photo ops and it’s nice and quaint in the downtown Orlando area. The service could have been way better. It was a decent size party and there was only one main waiter helping everyone. So the service was slow and delayed when it came to drink orders. The food however was very good. I ordered the chicken and waffles with maple syrup. The portion is an okay size but the waffles were the best part. Overall it was a nice experience and the food was great. I would definitely come back to this restaurant for a different occasion. That’s all.

A Delightful Sunday Brunch Experience at Eola Lounge
Eola Lounge’s Sunday Brunch is nothing short of a culinary delight! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the warm, inviting atmosphere and the friendly, attentive staff. The decor perfectly balances modern elegance with cozy comfort, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing Sunday brunch.
The brunch menu is a wonderful blend of classic favorites Southern food and innovative dishes, catering to a wide range of tastes and dietary preferences. Since I am not drinking this month I started with the non-alcoholic watermelon mimosa, which was incredibly refreshing. Then I tried the Mango flavored one. Which was just as good.
My meal was the Catfish and grits, which I was able to modify to add shrimps and make it cheesy. It perfectly of seasoning and not too salty. The balance of flavors was impeccable, and each bite was pure bliss.
The attentive waitress Ashley ensured my glasses were never empty, enhancing the overall experience.
The service at Eola Lounge is exceptional. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to providing an excellent dining experience. They were attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that all my needs were met promptly and with a smile.
In addition to the delectable food and superb service, the live music added a delightful ambiance, making the brunch experience even more enjoyable. The talented musicians played a mix of soft R&B, raps the Hip hop songs, creating the perfect backdrop for a leisurely Sunday meal.
Overall, Eola Lounge’s Sunday Brunch exceeded all my expectations. Whether you’re looking for a place to catch up with friends, celebrate a special occasion, or simply enjoy a fantastic meal, Eola Lounge is the perfect choice. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to return for another wonderful brunch experience.

Went on a Saturday. Food and drinks were delicious, however the place is very disorganized and in huge need of training on greeting, taking orders, and even inventory. Two people in my party of 8 never got their food. They ran out of glasses and silverware so I had to eat my steak and eggs with plastic ware. Unfortunately at this time I would not recommend anyone spending their hard earned money there. Nothing against the staff though, they were friendly.
