Time Goes By but I have been to several Excellent Places!

Months have gone by and life gets crazy and I have been on many food and wine adventures. So many that I am going to do a short review of each.


Mother’s Day Brunch at Ocean Prime- Well it is one of my favorite restaurants but it was fun to go with a group who have never been there before. Everyone ordered off the Bruch menu which included King Crab Eggs Benedict, Filet Benedict, Lobster Eggs, French toast and Short Rib Hash. Everyone at the table had something different and the food did not disappoint. We also ordered a side of my favorite truffle mac and cheese. Yum.

Urban Flats on Sand Lake Road- I have mentioned before that I have an issue with the Urban Flats in the Winter Garden Village. But recently we had a problem with food there so we ventured off to the Sand Lake Road location for some drinks and flat breads. So much better!! First of all it is so pretty and open inside, much like downtown. The food was perfect. The new Pancetta and Gorgonzola flatbread is awesome, my new favorite, the spicy walnuts are fabulous.

Big Fin- So Big Fin is owned by the same folks that had Beluga in Winter Park. We walked over from Urban Flats so we came upon the back deck. I love eating on a nice patio when the weather is good. It is beautiful and fun to relax with a cold drink. We ordered the Swordfish and asked for the crabmeat like they used to at Beluga. The swordfish was good but they put a crab cake on top?? Strange. Also they charged a lot for my comos. The staff seemed confused and a little snobby. I will probably try it again though.

Capital Grill- I got an email with their new Happy Hour Bar menu. And did you know the bar is always open? They don’t close it when they change shifts in the restaurant. They could use a bartender with personality but the food was amazing. The burger was excellent, even though they forgot the bacon. The lamb lollipops were terrific and it was like a dinner portion so most of it came home for dinner the next day. The truffle fries were good but I think Vines are better.

K Restaurant and Wine Bar- We stopped by the new location on random afternoon while on the way to appointments. They had just opened at the new location so the liquor license was not moved yet and the bar was not open. They did offer a free glass of wine but we could not pay for it. Nice. We ordered my favorite Fried Green Tomatoes. I love it. Which I always find odd because I hate tomatoes. Also we had a fish sandwich and the chicken salad, both were excellent.

Johnny’s Hide Away- All I can say is Dry Aged Filet!! It is the absolute best Filet in Orlando. Usually you can’t get dry aged Filet only other cuts. But they cut it there so, happy day! Also I love the Portobello Truffle fries. The staff and mangers are awesome.

Emeril’s – Chef Jason is great! We ordered the truffle flatbread, it all mushrooms no truffle, and so he came out, offered to remake it for my husband. It was amazing. And they are doing a truffle tasting/dinner soon so he gave us his email to find out when it is!! So excited.



I think that is what I have been up to recently. So no pictures, we have been running.

I am off to enjoy more forks and corks, this time with pictures! : )
