Shipyard Brew Pub in Winter Park

The high, wood-panelled ceilings and beams of Shipyard Emporium in Winter Park instantly relaxed me. The large windows daylight flood into the restaurant, so I was glad for a seat near the windows.

Mother’s Day Dinner at Park Plaza Gardens Restaurant

The first thing I want to say about a restaurant is that the food was delicious. The last thing I want to say about a restaurant is that my table waited 20 minutes to put in drink orders, or that I found a hair in my soup. All three things I’ve mentioned so far are […]
