Not sure why it took me this long to come try this place out. It's absolutely spectacular. A hidden gem if you've never been. Great selection of craft beers inside. Brunch on Saturday and Sunday with unlimited drinks. Loved everything we ordered.

I love this place. The food is impeccable, the dessert fantastic, and I love that I can stop by in the morning for a coffee that is handmade and always tasty.They have a huge selection of wine, beers, and ciders that you can mix and match, purchase and leave too. Dine in is great, but to go selections of spirits are just as fantastic.

I’m ashamed to say I’ve lived less than a mile away for 5 years and just not tried the Aardvark. The food is delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere was fun and upbeat. We came for Sunday brunch and got the hangover sandwich (pictured) and the steak n eggs (pictured) along with bottomless mimosas. First of all, there is a special place in my heart for a restaurant that knows that a mimosa is 99% champagne and 1% juice (we are rounding up here). We got the pineapple mimosa but they also had orange and cranberry as options. I will say, my steak was cooked more medium than medium well but I personally only order medium well at restaurants that aren’t known for their steaks because they usually undercook it so it’s not even worth taking a star away. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned very well. Our server made sure to keep our drinks full and show us pictures of her dogs (always a win for us). I also appreciate that they have a lot of deals on Monday’s for service workers such as Monday brunch, 2 miller lite or yeunglings and 3.50 house wines all day. Definitely recommend.

I'm happy to have found this place. My wife and I was looking for somewhere to eat after our initial dining option fall through. After some time of driving we just decided to stop by. I would say everything but 1 dish was way above average. The only dish we had issues with was the mushroom risotto but only because we LOVE mushrooms and wished there was more of it. The chicken wings here are the best in Orlando. Saucy, just the way I like it and the meat was moist and perfectly fried. They also come with blue cheese dip, there's so much blue cheese you can use a spoon to eat it. The burger was fantastic and meaty. My wife loved the fries. The staff was friendly and caring. They took good care of us, accommodating even with our 2 year old. Wish we took more photos but I was hungry.

SO good! They just started serving breakfast this week, 100% worth it. They also have such a great selection of coffees and teas. I would go there for tea over any other coffee place in the area. I was really impressed with the variety they had of teas especially. I also enjoyed that you get the ambiance of a nice/ comfortable restaurant but with counter service. There is a lack of good counter service around here.

There were risks with the menu change and new chef, but the tastes are amazing. Though we may all miss the Cuban sliders and original Mac and Cheese that were delightful, the new menu is also a creative approach. The fried pickles, some of the best I have had and honestly once I had the green beans, I had to get another side of them and they were the best i have ever had. Again, the green beans were the most amazing hidden gem.

Had a really great dinner here! Surprisingly fresh & tasty food all around. We had the brussels w bacon, which are air fried making them super delicious. Then we had the grouper sandwich special. Grouper was absolutely spot on! Chef did a great job. Our server was super sweet & knowledgeable. Great beverage selection also. Overall totally recommend & will be back soon!
