Good food, reasonably priced and verrry, verry chill, but lively atmosphere.
During our 1 night stay in Orlando, we dined at Marlow's Tavern on a beautiful Saturday evening. We decided to dine at Marlow's after taking a short stroll around the area near our hotel. We didn't do ANNNYY research what so ever on the menu, but we heard the live music and it looked like a decent restaurant (after I did a quick check of the reviews), so we gave it a shot.
We were quickly seated indoors (by our choice) when we arrived and service was friendly and quick throughout the night. The menu was typical gastropub with a variety of appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches and entrees.
After a few minutes of mulling over the menu, we got our kids the Kids Chicken Fingers and Kids Mac N Cheese, while my better half settled on the Infamous Fish Tacos and I got the Brisket Grilled Cheese.
First, the Kids items - SO GOOD that my wife and I would have more than happy to eat it for our kids. The Mac N Cheese was super hot and fresh and ooooozzy good. It was the type of mac and cheese that we love. The Kids Chicken Fingers were super crispy and ALSO verrrry, verrry good. Typically, a restaurant doesn't put much time into making Kids' items, but these might as well have been on the adult, regular menu because they were so crispy and delicious.
As for my wife's Infamous Fish Tacos, I had a small bite and it was solid. My wife loved her dish though and raved about how good it was. For my Brisket Grilled Cheese, I really liked it, but I DID feel that the bread was a bit overcooked and burnt. With every bite, there was this charred taste. It wasn't terrible, but I would have preferred the bread to be less burnt. The brisket was very tasty though.
One thing I do want to mention was that my entree and the Chicken Fingers arrived with fries and the fries were sooooooo gooooood. They were obviously freshly cut and addictively delicious.
Overall, good restaurant, we loved the food and the place was busy, but not overly so where the service came to a crawl. Definitely a great spot to grab a bit, especially if you're staying in one of the nearby hotels.
