Garp & Fuss

the place is so cute and the food is amazing. the only thing i would say to keep in mind is they do get kinda busy so there is a waiting time. you might wanna get a reservation first. but even without a reservation my partner and i just had to wait around 15-20 mins and we got in. perfect place for a date 🖤 will def go there again some day

Cute place, make reservations in advance to be in the “attic room”. The burrata was delicious, the Mac and cheese, the risotto. They took a bit to bring us the food but they were very attentive while we waited.

A hidden gem of a restaurant! The interior is beautiful if you get seated out in the glass roof area. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was great when we went. The Fuss (chicken sandwich) may have been the most delicious and interesting sandwich I've ever had! Every bite had a different flavor I can't recommend that sandwich enough. The drinks were also pretty strong. Can't recommend this place enough!

This restaurant is one of Orlando's hidden gems. Besides being almost literally hidden, it strangely does not get talked about amongst the locals for its quality. They provide an elevated American-style menu that is great top-to-bottom. You'd never expect an appetizer of bread to be as good as they do it, but it is one of my favorite orders. The atmosphere is so unique, and the food matches its level in quality, a perfect spot for a special night or just when you're feeling like having a great night.

Garp & Fuss is a hidden gem of Winter Park (literally it’s hidden!). Great variety of cocktails, beers, and wines as well as a versatile menu. The food and drinks are very good! The hours are limited so make sure to call them before you come. Would definitely recommend!

We love coming to Garp & Fuss! Food is always great; the menu has something for everyone. The seasoning on their tortilla chips and fries is amazing. For cocktails, I love the B*tch don’t kill my vibe. Atmosphere is really unique and the servers are always attentive and great. Love that it's family run too!

Oh. My. Goodness!! What a beautiful place!! Of all my world travels, this restaurant is a must visit!! It felt like walking into a home. There were so many different rooms all styled with a different vibe! I chose The Atrium because I'm a nature lover and it felt like we were eating outside despite it being a rainy day! The food was delicious!!!! The staff were super friendly and we had a ton of fun playing a few games of pool!! Def will be back! Thank you for making our date nite so fun! The restaurant is perfect for dates, meet ups, family dining and everything in between!

Fantastic dinner experience. Ashley is an amazing person with an incredible personality. Would hire her for my business. Menu is vast with many different choices. We could tell the chef cooks with love. First time visiting Winter Park but will always visit Garp&Fuss whenever in town.

Fantastic. We sat in the atrium and it was a gorgeous place. Food was delicious and some of the best we’ve had here in Orlando! Wings, flatbread, burger, and chicken sandwich were all amazing!! Alyssa provided us wonderful service. We plan to be back.

From the moment we walked in, to our final bite, our feeling remained consistent: WOW. Hands down, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in quite some time.

We were late for a reservation, but staff was incredibly accommodating and made sure we still had a table available in the heavily coveted Atrium Room. The ambiance alone made us impressed and felt like we were in our own little world away from the hustle and bustle of Winter Park. The mood lighting changed in collaboration with the sunset, which was appreciated and impressive. Acoustics in the Atrium Room are very tricky since it’s mostly glass; although we could still talk/hear very comfortably, while also hearing music from other areas of the restaurant without it being too overwhelming. Bravo.

Cocktails were presented so well with extra elements that made them such a delight to drink, in addition to being in very modern glassware that made it very photo ready. Plate ware was nice and sturdy with a good mix of classic and organic modern styles. Little disappointed with the flatware as it was a bit light in hand, but nothing that I’d knock points off for as it was just an observation.

Now the food…. Oh my goodness. I don’t consider myself a 100% foodie, however I appreciate nice things, and these entrees were no exception. My first bite of the Wild Mushroom Pasta took me to a completely different level of satisfaction. I literally kept saying “oh my god” with every bite. The flavors just dance on your tongue! My fiancé ordered the 321 Burger and not only was it cooked to perfection, but everything also paired well with his draft beer that was recommended.

After we left, we vowed to make this our new place to go for special occasions or date nights. Cannot recommend this enough!

Finally a lovely place with a lamb burger I can count on.
The drinks were perfect the baristas know what they’re doing especially under pressure of a busy night !! Make sure you follow the signs when looking for this place !

An impromptu date night after work had us exploring the menu this Wednesday evening. We were seated in what looks like a sunroom. They had 50% off of select wines,beers and cocktails. We chose a bottle of Bordeaux. The grilled octopus was amazing and cooked just right as was our dinner of steak and fries with a small salad. Really enjoyed the ambiance and food however service was slow. We saw a server or two come in to help but not sure what caused the delay i.e. the kitchen or too big an assigned area. It definitely got busy after we arrived and that was around 5pm or so. Don’t come starving in case you have a wait and enjoy your meal and visit!

Best in class attention. And the food. AND THE FOOD! I had a Schnitz, a delicious PB and Chocolate cake for dessert, and a delightful Merlot/Bordeaux wine to go with it all. Will SO be coming back!

So went here last night with a good friend of mine and this little gem was absolutely amazing!
Service was excellent, loved being able to pass by and see the hard work those cooks were putting in as well! Very homey atmosphere too.
I tried 2 appetizers (Buffalo cauliflower tossed in garlic park, and Classic man) and both of our dinners (Boozy Burger, and a salad with a giant meatball on it!) couldn’t even find a single thing wrong!
Everything was balanced so well!
My drink (Good ol’ thyme) was a tad strong but hey that’s no complaint. Haha

Keep up the awesome job! 👏🏻

Sat in the window room and had a few craft cocktails and the Butcher's Board (charcuterie board) and everything amazing. Excellent spread on the charcuterie board! Will definitely come back to try some more of their menu out!

This place is gorgeous and the food is amazing! The staff was fantastic and so helpful. We will definitely be returning and soon. This is my new favorite place in Winter Park.

This is a hidden gem off of Park Ave. The place is cosy, has several sections of varying themes, has a pool table and very nice terrace seating with the glass ceiling. Pricing is a bit on the high side in general, but not for Park Ave, and happy hour drink specials make up for it.

Very cozy vibe when not busy, friendly staff with recommendations when feeling indecisive. Food came out fresh and drink of the day is great value. Worth checking out if in the area!

Weird name... But DAMN!

This is a must visit if you're in the Winter Park area. 👍👍
Delicious cocktails, amazing food and super inviting staff 🤤
Plus the vibe is totally killing it 👌
Excellent place for a Brew'n Chew 🍻

What a great spot!

We don't get to Winter Park as often as we'd like but wanted to venture out of our usual go-to routine. The menu looked good, and being a Chicago native I spied an Italian beef style sandwich that was calling my name. I was all in.

Tucked away "off the beaten path" of the main Park Avenue establishments, we didn't find it right away. But once we did, it looked welcoming and fun from the outside. Our first stop was a couple of bar seats while we waited for a table but decided to stay since the bartenders were good people and it had a good vibe.

The menu is pretty extensive, and everything looked good. You could come close to having a different meal every day if you came here for a month. It was hard to pick just one thing!

First to try was the Mangia. It's a large tasty meatball in a marinara sauce with ricotta and with some fresh French style baguettes to dip or make mini sandwiches. It was delicious! My inky complaint would be to add a few more slices of bread so all the sauce can be mopped up.

For entrees, I had that Italian beef sandwich, or the "Garp" as it was named on the menu. It came with a tasty au jus and was piled with giardiniera for some extra flavor and spice. I did have to sub the side, though. The guy next to us at the bar had ordered a ribeye with some garlicky smashed potatoes and I had to have them. Awww, yeah. They were gooood. Can't go wrong with fried potatoes!

Next up was the Greek salad with Ahi tuna. Very fresh, thick cut of tuna, mixed greens, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes and a vinaigrette dressing with a hint of lemony flavor. And a mild cheese that added a nice touch.

For drinks, a nice Rose and the B*tch Don't Kill My Vibe were ordered up. Nice pours and the cocktail had decent strength with a nice peachy flavor and a hint of ginger beer spice. The bar area isn't huge but the space allows for good social interaction and would likely be a place we'd be at every weekend if it were closer. Had that neighborhood hangout feel, in a good way. Not too divey, not too snooty. Just right.

So what's all the Garp and Fuss about? Well, they're sisters. Garp is a cool chick behind the bar and Fuss is rocking the kitchen as the chef. As I suspected, they're fellow Chicagoans. Hence the Garp sandwich moniker. For those that aren't aware the 2 food groups in Chicago are deep dish pizza and Italian beef sandwiches.

There's a great atmosphere and business was constant. Service was friendly, quick and attentive, everything was clean, and the chalk art in the bar area has some cool stuff as well. Music selection was on point, with a lot of the favorites from 70's & 80's having you want to sing a little while enjoying the night. All I can say is they've made a pretty awesome little place and we're sure to be back.
