Monster in my Meal: What a Gem!!!! I cannot believe this place exists for this pricing. The rooms are absolutely clean and modern, step outside, and you can walk right to the Welborn kitchen bar and outside dining area. This place is fantastic. I hope nobody reads this review because I want it all myself.. dining was exquisite, and the cocktails are marvelous … There may be a monster in my meal.

Very cool spot located in the Wellborn Hotel. They have wonderful tapas style options and excellent cocktails. This venue is amazing to visit or to rent out for a private event. My significant other and I are staying here for a few days and were looking for a dinner spot and were pleasantly surprised when we found out we didnt have to leave the hotel property. We tried the meat and cheese tray, the eggplant and garbanzo dip, and the brie grilled cheese. We tried several cocktails; i had the sommer spritz and the best friend, my guy had the two tickets and the free puppies. Great DJ on staff, dog friendly. Ten stars.

Review for restaurant only: Great ambiance for a special event. Indoors and outdoors seating. Drinks were delicious and we all enjoyed when we ordered. Ordering via QR codes can be wonky, but you can order direct through server if you prefer. I recommend going at night for a romantic setting or with a group to celebrate. Solid local venue!

I stopped by this spot for Sunday brunch and was so impressed! The atmosphere was vibrant but still relaxed—perfect for a weekend wind-down. They had live music playing (a wonderful acoustic set), which added such a nice vibe without being overpowering. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. You could tell the staff enjoyed working there, which made the experience even better. The food came out hot and fresh, and everything I tried was delicious. From the perfectly scrambled eggs, the yummy French toast and the crispy potatoes, it hit all the right notes. Highly recommend for a chill Sunday with good food, good vibes, and a little live music to top it off. I’ll definitely be back!

Another great bar/restaurant to visit in Orlando. It’s very well decorated and It’s huge! so no need to make a reservation. I always find a seat here. My favorite drink is the Best Friend.

A Hidden Gem You Don’t Want to Miss We stayed at The Wellborn and absolutely loved it. The hotel has so much historic charm, and the courtyard is beautiful—lush, peaceful, and full of character. It really feels like a hidden oasis in downtown Orlando that the locals only know about. We went to the Parry House for drinks and tried three cocktails: the Best Friends (my favorite!), Free Puppies, and the Bo Jackson, which had a great smoky flavor. All were excellent and super creative. We loved the atmosphere upstairs where you could find a cozy corner to chat or a table to play some games on which you enjoyed your drinks and small plates. The service was great—friendly and helpful—and one thing I really appreciated was how easy it was to order. You can just scan QR codes around the space to get food and drinks delivered right to you, no waiting around. This place is perfect for a relaxing night out, and I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in Orlando. Highly recommend if you want something unique and memorable.

Nice but can get noisy due to the venues on both sides but it was really nice. Nice atmosphere if you want to grab it in the evening. The room has ear plugs if necessary. I wondered why they had them and then the night crowd showed up. It was fine. I was there for a concert anyway. But it’s definitely a place for those that like to hang out/happy hour tour of vibe. Very nice ambiance bar in the courtyard.

The Wellborn Restaurant is a very quaint yet eclectic restaurant that we frequently visit. If you want atmosphere or feeling like you need a little “getaway” you will adore it. They serve delicious tapas and are always changing their offerings based on seasonal availability. The drinks are fantastic and everything is priced fairly. We like to sit out on the second story porch and look out on their manicured gardens. They are DOG FRIENDLY which makes this place a true Orlando treasure.
