We had lunch here on Easter Sunday. Place was jammed. Excellent service from guy with shaved head and dyed red beard. Mixed up our order ... we got the special that we didn't order. But it was excellent. Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time at 310!

We went here because it was across the street from our hotel, but we should have gone to 310. same owner, but night and day in terms of service and food quality.My wife ordered something advertised as a "flat iron steak" that turned out to be a below-average piece of flank steak - we weren't warned, but then again, our waitron had to keep checking with management about everything from dressing choices to why one of our meals took so long while the rest were already served.The steak was so salty, it was inedible. I thought at first they'd just dumped some salt on when it was finished, but the bottom was also salty - all I can think is that they brine their steaks and don't bother rinsing them. The steak frites good but served without accompaniment (or choice of same), and our waiter left too fast for us to even ask for some ketchup or mayo.The staff in general were very poorly informed about menu (not one could say what the Thai dressing was without checking). We were served by three different people over the course of a two hour meal, and not one of them was competent.The salmon chips were mealy, and the dip on top had no salmon taste but plenty of chipotle to hide the cream cheese. Their sushi was pretty good, especially the salmon sashimi - perhaps they ordered out from the sushi place a few blocks down?On to our desserts. We were a party of four. Three of the desserts came at once, along with a waiter to tell us they were out of the creme brulee. I mean, who does that? Especially when two of the desserts were melting before our eyes and had to be eaten while our fourth person sat, watching, waiting for their second choice. By the time he got his key lime, the rest of the desserts were done. On top of it, the key lime had no lime, and no key, just out of the can whipped cream.Did I mention the "crab" was fake? You would think that by now, restaurants would know to write "krab" or warn patrons who might be allergic, but no. They pretended it was crab until I mentioned that my wife would need to go to the hospital - THEN the waiter remembered it was the fake stuff.The next night, we went again because our friends from the area insisted. And again, it was absolutely terrible. One friend ordered the lobster pasta special, a total rip-off at $30 with mushy, musty pieces of lobster. Another was served a stunningly inept carbonara. The appetizer, edamame, was a huge portion, but they tasted like any edamame out of a box and into the microwave. And, someone forgot to salt them. But the service was so bad, by the time we managed to get a waiter's attention, they were cold and soggy.Their Thai salad awful - hey, you're in Florida, right? but the shrimp were tiny, and they'd been frozen and defrosted at least once if not more - mushy, tasteless, all the things you expect from cheap frozen shrimp. Ditto the Thai noodles tasted right out of the box. The Thai dressing was right out of the box. My own oysters, at a happy hour price of $10 a dozen, would have been good if the waitress had bothered looking at them before serving. She described them as "about this big", which would have been around 2" in diameter. These were an inch at best, sloppily opened, and there was one really, really bad one in the lot. That happens, sure, but this was bad enough that I spit it out into my napkin.When an entire party leaves most of their food on the table, the waitrons should be trained to ask if something was wrong. The manager should come over. Again, I cannot understand why this is so bad when 310 was so good. A pity, but I'll never eat here again.KT, I'm so sorry to hear you did not enjoy your time at blu on the avenue. We appreciate your feedback and time. All of our fish is delivered fresh daily so we are glad you enjoyed the sushi. We do apologize for the service you received. We are working on re-training our staff and changing our menu so we hope you will come give us another try in the future.

The Ravenous Pig

Reviewed By kent k

This restaurant replaced The Larder, but unfortunately it is no better, even though related through ownership. the food is nuvo southern, dressed up to present very well, but way overpriced for the qality of the food. The cheese biscuits were very nice, (as an hors d' oeuvre) on the menu replacing bread); but the shrimp soft shell tacos were paper thin and gave- in on the first bite.The Steak Frite was very hard to even cut (ordered rare). I come from a cattle family and understand beef grading. Select, choice, prime, and top prime. That piece of meat would barley make it beyond select. Other competitors in Winter Park serve prime beef for the same price. The wine crarte was un remarkable and pricy for the quality. If you think this is high end dining you are mistaken. Go to a diner and get their fried green tomtoes if that is whar you are looking for. High end restaurants are more pricy, but the food is worth it. Here--- No.t

Hillstone Restaurant

Formerly Houston's

Reviewed By missrose327

Upper scale restaurant with delicious menu items exquisitely presented! If you're a true "foodie", you must visit this restaurant! We sat at the bar because the restaurant was full. We shared the fried grouper sandwich served on a brioche bun (omg, that bun!), tabouli salad as a side. The sandwich was served with a generous portion of coleslaw. The fries were a bit of a disappointment. They were cold and little "nibs" of french fries, like they were the dregs from the bottom of the bag, not a fry in our serving that was longer than 2 inches. Not good. Our servers Kenny and Wade were gracious and pleasant, even though they were very busy serving customers and making specialty cocktails. I highly recommend Hillstone. And after lunch, take a leisurely stroll around the property. Beautiful!

From Muffelatta, to Jambalaya, to Etouffee, and even a fair representation of Beignets, if you cannot make it to New Orleans, or have been there and remember the wide range of good that captures the Cajun flavor and hit the mark, then Tibby's does a good job of bringing that experience to the greater Orlando area. Tibby's has a location in Altamonte Springs, and both locations besides the food does a nice job in bringing the rest of the New Orleans ambiance with its decor.

After finding a way through construction, we went into the place that was nice, it was clean, service was lovely.Was told to do online survey for a free cookie (basically a chips ahoy) not worth the time. Bakery did have delicious looking cookies but not for the survey. Food portions for BBQ place I felt we’re small and over priced. We like bbq places and have several near our home we frequent that is why we went here while in Orlando. Both got the Brisket and pull pork. Flavor was good but the temperature not so much. Brisket was cold. Pork luke warm. We will not go there again.

This is a little off the beaten track for most Orlando visitors, However as most have a car its well worth visiting. We arrived to find car park and surrounding streets full, which was a bit surprising as its in a residential district. however we were lucky and a car pulled out as we arrived and the restaurant made up a table for us a party of 6.Great food at various prices to suit all budgets and a good selection of drinks. the servers were a little surprised to see people from Kent UK, guess most are locals and regulars. my regret is I am not a local as I would be a regular. 5 stars well worth a visit For some proper food not fast food
