The reviews below are spot on!  You must try the Truffle Fries.  I had the brisket and was surprised when it didn't come out drenched in BBQ sauce.  It goes to prove that a good piece of meat prepared properly does not need to hide beneath a layer of sauce.  I would highly recommend this place for any business or social occasion.

The reports are true.  The eggs benedict plate is very good.  Keep in mind it is in the shopping center on the south side of Sand Lake Road.

A must for true nature lovers visiting Orlando.  If you want to see Florida wild life, forget the theme parks go to the Orlando Wetlands Park.  It's free too.

Zero stars if I could give it to them.  I went to go checkout the city walk while I was in Orlando.  A very old security guard stopped me and harassed me about bringing my camera into the park.  He wanted me to place my camera on the table and was acting like I was trying to bring a weapon into the park.  After about a minute of this I had enough, I turned around and left.  I will spend my money at Sea World.

Brick House Tavern & Tap  

Category: American (Traditional)

5.0 star rating

I very rarely give out a five star rating.  I reserve them for places such as the Brick House in Orlando.  I just spent the last week in Orlando for a convention and I found myself at the Brick House three times during the week.  The atmosphere is energetic and inviting, the food is fabulous and the staff is very friendly, attentive and hard working.  During my three visits I had the Drunken Pork chops, Steak and Shrooms, and the Black and Blue Burger.  Each were extremely good but the star was the Black and Blue Burger.  Arguably one of the best Blue Cheese Burger's I have had.  The beer selection is a good mix of domestic, imports and microbrews.  

The first night I ate there, It was for Sunday Night Football and witnessed the place absolutely packed.  I took a seat at the end of the bar to watch the game and started noticing all the activity going on around me.  The staff was literally running like mad behind the bar filling drink and food orders.  For the entire two and a half hours I was there, I didn't notice any of them slow down or take a break once.  They also remained very friendly and attentive to the customers and each other.  Even though the staff was absolutely slammed with work they still acted like a large group of friends.  I noticed one girl that was arguably the fastest bartender on staff, giving direction to the others and very effectively keeping everything moving smoothly.  I asked her if she was the Bar Manager and she replied "No, I'm Shelly the General Manager".  Well Shelly should be proud because what I witnessed this past week was a solid team that only comes from solid leadership.

I was surprised how small this place was.  It's trendy but not quite what I expected.  Maybe I am slightly jaded since I am from Alaska and was the only person in the freezer wearing a T-shirt and shorts.  It felt good to get out of the heat for a while.  The ice art in the cooler is was nice and they had a good selection of favored vodka.

Finally a sports bar in Eagle River!!  We have been watching this place prepare for opening over the past month or so.  Tonight we drove by and noticed an OPEN sign, so we stopped in for a beer and a bit to eat.  They are still going through their soft opening so please forgive the staff if they don't have everything you are looking for.  I can say that the food is really good.  My wife and I plan on going back for Cinco De Mayo next week.

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport

Unlike many airports today, this one actually has shops and restaurants you can stroll PRIOR to passing though security.  They also still have Sky Cab's.  There are far fewer flights at Reagan but overall it is much more convenient than Dulles.

Your typical TGI Friday's but located within Reagan National Airport.  The service was prompt and friendly.  Many times when chains like this have establishments within airport they have a diminished menu.  I noticed that the menu here was a bit smaller than normal but they still gave you plenty of options to choose from.  It seemed to be the best bet for eating at this airport
