Went by this location for taco Tues and happy hour. It’s located near the arena and luckily we were able to find free street parking. The tacos are 2 for 1 on Tuesdays with the exception of the seafood ones. They have several specialty cocktails for $10 from 4-7 pm. The cocktails were good, but the happy hour margaritas were really small. They have a full bar with all of the top shelf choices. The lobster tacos were absolutely delicious. We liked the fried over the grilled, but both were packed with flavor and outstanding. The gumbo was terrible. It was thick and didn’t taste good at all and it was expensive at $16 for a bowl! The establishment was clean and they have a huge speak easy behind the bookshelf where they have live entertainment on the weekends. The bartender was brand new so the service wasn’t perfect, but she was nice and learning. I would definitely go back to try more.

I gave this place two stars for the service ALONE! My family and I attended a Black History Month Event and wanted to support a black owned business so as we visited the castro bar on 2/10/26 there was only one waitress there and she had two tables already seated one eating and one she was serving drinks! it took quite some time for her to seat us IMMEDIATELY i noticed her attitude wasn’t the best, as we were seating down I asked her is this black owned and she stated and i quote “I don’t know” and i looked surprised and then she said yes it is but im sure you already knew that to I responded I wasn’t sure and wanted to make certain as businesses change owners all the time and wanted to patronize a black owned business and she was NOT HAPPY! ( she was of another ethnicity) which didn’t matter i love ALL PEOPLE and I support ALL PEOPLE but wanted to support MY PEOPLE this night! as we tried to change the vibe my fiancé asked her what’s your signature dish what are you known for and she stated “I don’t know” it was four of us and we all looked like huh you can’t tell us nothing good on the menu you make super good or something people order all the time and rave about THIS WAS OUR FORET TIME THERE! SHE WAS HORRIBLE! if the tip wasn’t added she surely wouldn’t have received 20% she’s super lucky!
the wings were EXCELLENT, the steak sliders were also Delicious, the shrimp and grits were just OK! the grits weren’t creamy nor cheesy as the description stated, they were super gritty if that makes any sense! after the service we just weren’t really comfortable or excited to be there anymore!
I’d say who you have working for you makes a world of difference especially when they’re the first person who greets you, seats you and serves you! if they’re rude it makes you not wanna come back!
The place is small but quaint with plenty of tvs and a nice size bar! it’s definitely in a prime location with great parking! and the prices were excellent!

Black owned businesses downtown with A1 customer service! We came for brunch and the selection was fantastic. Drink selection was great. Lynn was amazing a she was very attentive to our needs even though she was the only one at the bar. They were slow only one cook so the food took a while to come out. We had to send the fried rice because it was a bit salty for our taste. Other than that PLEASE come check this place out.

I went to The District GastroBar for brunch with a friend, and we had a great time! She ordered the shrimp and grits with a strawberry margarita, and I went with the steak and eggs paired with a strawberry lemonade sangria. Everything came out quickly, fresh, and flavorful.
We had reservations, which worked out perfectly because the place started getting busy a little after 1 p.m. The vibes were great, good food, good drinks, and a lively atmosphere without feeling overcrowded.
Definitely a solid spot for brunch. I’d go back again!

Visited The District in Orlando while in town visiting a friend for Sunday brunch. We kicked things off with the bottomless mimosas, which were definitely a highlight—fresh, well-balanced, and kept flowing without too much delay.
To start, we ordered the avocado hummus, which was absolutely delicious—creamy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the pita. The lobster wontons were also good, though a bit on the spicy side.
For our main dishes, we tried the steak and eggs, wings, and shrimp and grits. The standout was easily the shrimp and grits—perfectly seasoned, rich, and comforting. The steak and eggs were solid, nothing groundbreaking, but cooked well. The wings were probably our least favorite—nothing bad, just a bit underwhelming compared to the other dishes.
Service was okay—not bad, but not especially memorable either. We also wished the music had been just a bit louder to bring more energy to the brunch vibe.

this place has potential . very limited seating . we made reservations for 2:00pm, we did not get seated until 3:04pm . melissa was doing the best she can to accommodate us and for that we appreciate her . the bartender is terrible, while melissa was visibly busy…we asked for refills of water from the bartender she did not have any patrons she was tending to but proceeded to tell us she’d tell our waitress…i guess her text messages were more important because she then leaned on the counter and proceeded to get on her phone . chantal was helpful in the beginning but i guess we were asking for “too much” when she decided to start avoiding us at all cost . we just wanted to have a good experience especially since we’re spending money here . there is no teamwork in this establishment . if one server is busy, one that isn’t should step in instead of “that’s not my table” for this to be a black owned restaurant they aren’t very welcoming to black people but once a white person comes in they are doing tricks and splits . like are you serious ? i’m not saying they (yt people) should be treated differently but don’t treat your own with such disgust and displeasure . we were getting stale faces and mean mugs but again once a yt person/family came in, all smiles and sunshine . jordan stepped in towards the end of our visit and he was like a breath of fresh air, for the little time we spent together made the experience a little bit better . thank you, jordan . now that was got service out the way ! the food was really good . i had the chicken and waffles . the chicken seasoned and fried to perfection . what i didnt appreciate was they gave me burnt waffles but flipped them over to i guess “hide” the burn as if i wasn’t going to taste it ? that was dumb . instead of just remaking them which they had to do anyway . overall experience 3/10 . i would rate 1/10 if it wasn’t for melissa and jordan . and another thing, just because gratuity is automatically added doesn’t mean you treat people weird because depending on the service you will get a tip on top of the gratuity . and since when did they start letting kids sit at the bar . jon taffer would have a ball at this place .

Save yourself the slow and bad service.
Our friends went before a Magic game on a Thurs last month and said service was slow but that the server said they were new. So we tried it again tonight, a Thurs, before a Magic game. Got there around 5 and game wasn’t until 7. One server took our drink order and dropped the drinks off, that’s about all the “Service” we received. We had asked to put our apps in at the same time as drinks. Received our bar drinks and then our apps and that was it for over an hour. Never were asked if we wanted more drinks, No one came over to us. So We sat there with no drinks at all. We saw our server making drinks behind the bar so we Waived someone else down to ask if we could order our food and for a water. We also tried to order more drinks but he couldn’t or wouldn’t for us.
We sat some more with no drinks and we’re ready to leave but our food showed up. We ordered more drinks from our initial server when she finally came over after the food was delivered. We Immediately asked for check which automatically has a 20% gratuity added. Apparently there was no manager there to even know how bad it is. We all work in the industry so some didn’t want to say anything but I’m at a point that I tell ppl when it’s bad, this was BAD. They tried to get us waters after we asked for the check. We paid the check $400 check with gratuity included that wasn’t deserved.
Pretty place. Food was good.
Service was the worst I’ve had in a long time. It’s like we were being rude for having to call someone over to order our food or want more drinks. Gave it two chances at night and Will never go back.

The District Gastrobar is absolutely the place to be. My husband and I spent at least two hours here enjoying their bottomless mimosa’s on their brunch menu, and their wings.
The owner, KC , has done a fantastic job with this place. The food, service and vibes were immaculate.
Shoutout to the bartender, Jason, who provided a magnificent atmosphere for us to enjoy our afternoon in downtown Orlando.
10/10 for sure recommend!
