Bellhop — Restaurant in Orlando

Was very excited for this bar. It’s a great gatsby, Art Deco hotel themed bar serving craft cocktails. Visually, it’s stunning. The walls are bathed in a rich green That just oozes money. Chandeliers of both the jeweled and feathered kind provide sensual lighting, and the rich brown leather couches and green marble bar just made you feel like you were in a period piece of 1930’s New York. It is one of the most Instagrammable bars in Orlando for sure.

We came in around 6:45 on Friday. There were maybe 12 other people in the bar. We lucked out and found three adjoining seats on the left of the bar. We sat for a few minutes before we were greeted, and about another 10 before we received menus, and another 10 before we had our cocktails. The bartenders weren’t just standing around they were definitely busy, but maybe understaffed. Service was friendly, but a little slow. I will give benefit of doubt and assume that the fact this bar just had their soft opening last weekend is responsible and that it’s just growing pains and/or short staffing. I did also notice we came in right around a shift change.

When we did receive the menus, I was a bit surprised at the signature cocktails on display. They seemed appealing by description, but a bit tropical for the setting. We ordered our first round of cocktails (the daily vitamin, just in thyme, and making my way downtown) two of us didn’t care for our cocktails and found them busy, the third (daily vitamin) said he thought it was just okay. My biggest gripe with the cocktails was that they seemed too busy and with too many conflicting flavors. They weren’t terrible by any means, but I wouldn’t order them again.

I decided to go simple with my second drink and ordered an old fashioned. Classic, simple, delicious. It was fantastic. Made so excellently that I ordered a second.

Overall, I am really excited to see how this bar evolves. It’s definitely worth a visit! My only suggestions to make the experience better would be to work on the cocktail menu, and maybe have a dedicated server on the floor during busy hours to help alleviate...
