Reviews
The customer service here is great. The bartender and servers are nice and really take care of you.
The fried green tomatoes and crabcake was tasty. The chicken breast for the chicken and waffles were kind of dry, and the waffles were soggy. Although the food tasted good, I was expecting a little more in terms of quality. I think I would return for the drinks, but I’d sit out from the food.
I heard there are shows here during some nights as well, but I visited in the morning for brunch.

Made early reservations to make sure we could find a place to park in the neighborhood.
It was pretty dead at this time so thought thought the kitchen wouldn’t be over welmed.
Started with the fried green tomatoes and crab cakesnwhich were excellent.
For the main entre we decided on the pork tenderloin for my sister and the prime rib chefs special for myself.
Pork had good liver but was over cooked and a bit dry with the demi glaze helping it. My prime rib was seared with great flavor but not tender at all and outback out did them here. The twice baked potato was ice cold out of the fridge. Flagged down the waitress and she worked on getting it replaced. By the time the replacement came out i had 2 bites left on the prime rib and the 2nd potato wasn’t much warmer. Decided not to get dessert and push our luck. Totally forgot the cold potatoes I was going to take home but probably no big loss. Was hoping they would have been a special birthday for my sister but the waitress didn’t even ask if it was a special occasion although the host acknowledged it on the reservation note at check in.
Underwhelming is all I can say….
Maxine is an angel! Pleasure to meet her.
This culinary power couple received as many nominations as anyone on this year’s list, with fans praising them as the kind of small business owners who make a community feel like home. Their restaurant, tucked into a residential neighborhood just east of downtown Orlando, offers sidewalk dining and showcases local artists. Beyond the restaurant, both are active in philanthropic efforts and outspoken advocates for fellow small businesses. To top it all off, their food has earned recognition from the Michelin Guide, with one nominator calling Maxine’s “one of those brilliant local gems that every city should be proud to have.”
The food was amazing, and Julie behind the bar made incredible drinks. Now that’s what you call a bartender — top-tier service all around.
It was Sunday around 11:30 a.m., and the host told us the wait was about 1.5 hours. Luckily, we snagged two seats at the bar — being from out of town, missing out would have been a huge disappointment.
The Bloody Mary did not disappoint — absolutely delicious. The crab cakes were some of the best I’ve had in a long time: light, not greasy, with a nice crunch and plenty of crab meat (maybe a bit of onion mixed in). The smoked salmon and avocado pita bites were excellent. The fried green tomatoes were just okay, and the kale salad wasn’t for me.
The chicken and pimento cheese sandwich was unfortunately disappointing. The chicken was overcooked, as was the bacon, though adding extra cheese helped make it more edible.
FYI the bartender Julie makes the STRONGEST drinks
The staff is just a bunch of friendly people. The hostess was dressed with style. I arrived right at 5pm so I was able to snag a single seat at the bar even though they were full booked for the evening.
I got the lobster roll. It’s the kind that’s mixed with a bit of mayonnaise rather than with warm butter. It came with fries and coleslaw, so it is a full meal.
