City Food Hall - Orlando

Stopped and ate at Blessed Belly and it was amazing! The birria tacos were so yummy. It was busy for their opening weekend, but even so I was greeted at the door and was asked if I needed anything from a manager. I can’t wait to come back and check out some of the other spots!

A lot of options to eat. We choose to eat Ramen and it was an excellent option. The attention was great. There were people doing yoga. Drinks were good.

Atmosphere was good. Location was great but parking was a hassle and you have to pay. Mostly comfort food. Few if any healthy options. Over all 4/5.

My experience has been nothing short but amazing! Our bartender Ryan is the best! Very attentive, personable and makes awesome drinks. We didn’t have a good experience from the last food hall but now we will be back thanks to the impeccable customer service.

This place is the best for indecisive people who want good food. I’m from south Florida so seeing so many different small businesses bunched up here was amazing. The place here that sells birria tacos are the BEST thing here and the smash burgers are good too. I enjoyed it all and there’s a foxtail here and an ice cream spot it’s a nice chill place to enjoy some food with some friends and honestly isn’t busy enough. There’s a park across the street and scooters everywhere.

Went in for a beer. Had to use the restroom first thing. There is only a single service bathroom for the entire food hall? (from what I saw). The restroom was disgusting. Looked like someone had urinated in the drain in the center of the bathroom. By the time I came out my wife was also ready to leave based on her experience. Didn’t eat any of the food so I can’t review that but the service and cleanliness are both bottom tier.

Such a great spot food hall is awesome!!! there are so many different food options, it’s hard to choose just one. From tacos and noodles to burgers and desserts, everything we tried was super tasty. The vibe is great too :) really fun and lively, but still relaxed. Lots of seating, cool design, and just a good energy overall. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to when I want a chill night out with good food

A nice edition to the Orlando food scene. I do wish there were more vegetarian options across the menus, but the mushroom sisig from Taglish was absolutely amazing. Their ube horchata is also a must try. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, and there was plenty of seating.

Just plan a day to go ! Thats the review lol This place exceeded my expectations. It was super cute, clean and a really good vibe. I've been twice and this can be a really good date spot, girls day, or celebration location. It's so many options to choose from for whatever you're in the mood for ! The Oxtail Rasta Pasta and plantain from true island were 10/10 !!! Almost licked the bowl clean lol Super flavorful, nice and fresh and wet. The caramelized cauliflower and crispy crab cake from the chef and I were really good!! Also loved the firecracker shrimp from shanshi wok was another fav ! Service was quick. Staff were really pleasant! There was reg table seating, bar seating as well as outdoor seating. This venue is 2 stories and is super detailed! Art work everywhere and was nice to just walk around and look at the building. Also had some activities/games outside.

A great concept wasted by execution. Hall on the Yard has a lot going for it -- it's a beautiful space, in a cool neighborhood, surrounded by awesome businesses. By all metrics, it's been set up for success; however, both times I've dined here have been a disappointment. In my most recent visit, my friends and I made a reservation for thirteen. If you have a large party, please note that more than half your party needs to be present before they'll seat you, even if the Hall is mostly empty. Once seated, our servers were prompt and friendly; we got our drinks right away and the refill service was attentive. I don't have a lot of complaints about the service, but will note that one person at our table had the wrong order delivered to her twice before the correct order was served, and since everything comes from different kitchens, everyone else had gotten their food and was halfway done with their meal by the time her food came out. Hall on the Yard boasts nine restaurants, but only half were open and available for service. This was a little bit of a disappointment because we'd chosen Hall on the Yard for their variety of choices due to many in our group having dietary restrictions. The stall with the most vegan and celiac-friendly options was closed, so some of our group had to make-do with hodge-podge appetizer selections. We were also told that the cocktail menu was also limited and that specific liquors weren't available or in stock. The food that came out, overall, was underwhelming. I ordered from Sabba Mediterranean Cuisine, but many in the group ordered from a variety of stalls, including True Island and Norma's Italian Eatery. If you're here for food, I'd honestly recommend that you go elsewhere. My Beef Shawarma was ok -- most of the flavor came from the Tabbouleh Salad used in the wrap; the meat tasted under-seasoned, though it was generally cooked well. It honestly felt like I was eating a less-satisfying version of a Chipotle beef burrito. I paid a bit extra to sub out the fries for the Grape Leaves, but was disappointed there as well; I've never had such a dry version of Grape Leaves, and the rice had no flavor. One person in our group got the Jerk Chicken from True Island and commented that the chicken was mostly bone and every bite contained bones or bone shards regardless of how well she cut around it. She also mentioned that the side of Roti tasted more like a tortilla, but that the cabbage tasted good. Some of these critiques may seem harsh, but if you're shelling out $30+ per person, not including drinks, I'd expect the food quality to be better. There are many food halls that have been successful in Orlando and other areas, but Hall on the Yard is definitely overhyped at its current level. Overall, I don't think I'll return given its current state. It seems to be withering from a lack of care at the management level (even the website isn't updated to show the current selection of food stalls and the menus online are out of date). It doesn't matter if the atmosphere is lovely, the service is just ok and the food is middling, at best.

We came here for a friend 45th birthday dinner party. The reason we chose this restaurant is because it had many different styles of restaurants to choose from such as Mexican, Italian cuisine, Island, American, Vegan and Soul Food. You must make reservations if you're having a big group however if you want a 2 seater table then you could possibly get a table quickly. You can have the delight of eating outside with the beautiful lighting and scenery as well. Inside they do have an open bar but with the seasonal weather there is a bar outside as well. I wanted a little bit of all restaurants to try out the texture and seasons of the food. The peas and rice were nice and fluffy however it was the first item to come out and I was actually a few bites away when I received the rest of my food. Now the ribs were a nice size, tender and juicy however I will choose to have the special sauce on the side instead of being placed on the ribs. Now the macaroni and cheese was made with the smoked taste, Gouda cheese was absolutely delicious. My concerns were the corn muffins they were hard, dry and not what I was expecting from the Shay's Soul Food. Overall with the assistance of attending such a large group of 25 and the delicious food I give them a 10!

What a cool place!! I suggest making a reservation because we had a hour wait before having dinner. So we waited at the bar to have cocktails, however, you can eat at the bar we chose not to. Seven restaurants under one roof!! My group of three ordered tapas. Fried deviled eggs, shrimp ceviche tostones, dynamite shrimp, edamame, chips and dip trio. Everything came out at different time, every dish was hot, fresh and delicious. My drink choice of the night was a red sangria and it was the best sangria I've had in a long time!! The waiter we had was great and if you pay in cash you'll get a percentage off your bill.

Not only were we really excited to head here we were more excited when we arrived and the vibe seemed immaculate. We very quickly were disappointed. The idea of this full service food hall is REALLY cool. I just wish it was executed well. Because of the food hall style, there's almost no way to ensure food comes out for your table at the same time. At one point one of our party waited over an hour for a set of fried deviled eggs. Our poor server tried so hard and it wasn't his fault but he couldn't keep up and neither could a few of the restaurant in there. Before we were seated I ordered drinks at the bar and even though there were plenty of bartenders and everyone appeared to have been helped it still took over 10 min before someone even recognized I was there and offered to help me and it still took another 10 min to get my 3 drinks. The bill was crazy high and look to be fair we live in tourist Orlando so we are used to expensive but this was out of hand. They offer a 3% savings for paying with cash which obviously is just their way to get around charging more to pay via cc. To top it all off the worst part of the evening was when we went to collect the keys from the valet and they had closed for the night so our keys were handed to us BUT we had to go looking for our car in the lot with absolutely ZERO guidance. 10/10 do not recommend that part. If you're going to go either Uber or pay for your spot when you park your own car so you know where the car will be!

Hear me out. So we came in no reservations however it wasn't packed or to full. It took a few minutes to get seated. Several minutes to get serviced. And asking of 3 different individuals to get silverware. Okay so the food, fried deviled eggs are 4/10, fried chicken is crispy but definitely not seasoned 4/10, beef Pattie's were a hit 10/10. The curry chicken 7.5/10. The truffle fries are good but for 9 bucks eh. Ambiance is loud, it is classy, the bathroom definitely needed cleaning.

10/10 do not recommend. Service is horrible, food took forever, and is extremely overpriced. They also charged a brunch event service charge on the bill without any notice or mention anywhere on the menu or by staff. I ordered chicken tenders and truffle parm fries, which was the most expensive chicken tenders I've ever had in my life at $20. The fries were coated in Parmesan but had no truffle taste. Will not be going back.

(this review is from 6/11/23) Not my first time at Hall on the Yard but certainly my first for brunch. The food was so good and always is. The server, on top of it. My review is about the trash that was all over the yard. It seemed as if someone swept it from the tables into the grass. It looked unkept and actually made me think twice about eating there. If cleanliness isn't in the outward appearance; what's happening with my food. I was the one recommending the restaurant to newbies. Thankfully again the food was great and the service was top notch.

An updated review based on lunchtime with coworkers, during the weekday. Nothing has changed since the last time I visited. Two of my coworkers ordered the Cobb salad and to our surprised it was literally a bowl of lettuce, cheese, eggs whites and chicken. No other ingredients were available. We felt bad for the server because the cooks didn't tell her the Cobb salad wasn't available until the salads were delivered to the table. So I'm guessing the cooks just made up a salad with the ingredients they had but fail to notify other staff. I ordered the Barria nachos.... Not what I was expecting. Super below average. The cheese/queso was cold and it was splitting. See the picture. It doesn't lie. The meat was ok. Unseasoned. Bland. It was lukewarm, on the edge of being cold. Also, the nachos were missing the avocado salsa, chipotle crema and queso frito. The Hall definitely needs to change their food execution AND quality of product. It's just not good. (As I am leaving this review... I think I got sick from the food....)

We stood at the front for a while and i eventually asked the bar tender if there was a hostess. The bar tender stated that there was a hostess but she was unsure where she was at at the moment. When we did interact with the Hostess she was not very friendly at all, she seemed agitated. she did not greet anyone and seemed aggravated when asked about the wait time. We ended up finding seats at the bar. I think the bar tenders name was Patience. And she indeed had that because people were running her ragged lol. I ordered the Italian from Normas - it was delicious. I wanted the fried plantain with pikliz from SK Fusion but they ran out. So i settled on the conch fritters but the batter was terribly dry. They also ran out of simple syrup. So my French 75 wasn't as tasty. The noise level wasn't too crazy, not too rowdy but also not extremely quiet. Just right.

The concept and decor of this place is great. There's a few different restaurants/menu options and you can order via the waitress from any of them. However due to possibly being short staffed the service was incredibly slow. It took a while for someone to even come greet our table. I was hoping the dish I ordered would make up for it. I ordered Pat's fish & grits with a creole sauce however I felt it was bland and not what I was expecting. My husband ordered a chicken dish which looked better to me, the sweet potato fries were drizzled in honey and I enjoyed bites of it! I dont think I would return but there is tons of great potential here. Not sure if brunch is better, or if it was just an off night.

It is a great concept with four different kitchens and a bar; there are plenty of options to choose from, which can be a little overwhelming. I didn't like the physical menus. I'm unsure if it is the material, but they felt dirty and greasy. The food was below average; it's a food truck in a fancier venue. We tried a few things: the pizza was ok, the pasta was very simple, and the chicken curry was mainly "chicken bones curry." The trio dips were tasty. Service started slow but got better. The prices are a bit high for the quality of the food. On the bright side, the venue is pretty, and the atmosphere is very inviting.

This was my first experience at Hall on the Yard. I heard so many mix reviews on this place, but I enjoyed my time there. Once we arrived we did not have reservations, it was a coin flip of where me and my husband would go after our movie date. They were wrapping up/ shutting down what looked like an open market of art , and items sold by local vendors . We were told that seating by the bar area could be right away, but seating at the tables would be about an hour wait. We sat at the bar and started with drinks I got the Summer Sunset & my husband got the Red Sangria . both were very good . For food we got the Mexican street corn from Itzayana , Jerk wings from True Island, Butter chicken with Paratha & Rice as sides from Spice Affair, Fried Deviled eggs from Shay's Kitchen & the star of the show for me which was the Bacon Fat Brussel sprouts from The Chef & I . I've actually come back since my first visit just to pick up the Brussel sprouts to go . Overall the food was ok, the drinks were phenomenal. The jerk wings & corn I would pass on if i visited again. The customer service was cool , I enjoyed sitting right at the bar because it was direct access to servers quicker. The parking was $3 or $4 an hour. There is both beautiful upstairs & downstairs seating as well as indoor and outdoor seating.

When you walk in, there is a hostess stand set back away from the door a bit. You could miss it if there is a line in front of you. They will seat you either inside or outside. The menu is currently comprised of 8 kitchens. You can mix and match where you order from. I love this concept. Although it is a bit intense for someone like me, who tends to overanalyze the menus and pics on Yelp before ordering. So many choices.... Arrgh I settled on an appetizer that the waiter suggested was the most popular appetizer out of the entire menu. It was the caramelized cauliflower for $14 from the Chef & I kitchen. This was an interesting, sweet, and savory dish with different textures from the soft bread, tender cauliflower to the crunchy candied pecans. A bit too sweet for my taste though. I also ordered the steak California burrito for $20 from the Itzayana kitchen. The burrito was massive, at least 9" long and a few inches wide. It was stuffed with French fries and chopped steak. Unfortunately, I did not care for it and wouldn't order it again. There just wasn't enough flavor in it for me. No hot sauce was offered or served with it. I'm sure you can ask for it though. There is supposed to be a garlic sauce and avocado inside. However, I didn't taste any garlic and the avocado was really just guacamole or some kind of avocado crema sauce. I would have preferred onions and cilantro in it for added flavor. Perhaps that is an option. My friends ordered from 2 other kitchens on the menu, the chicken fried rice from the Wabi Sabi kitchen and the chicken fettuccine from Normas. They both enjoyed their meals. I would definitely come back to try other dishes here.

I love the idea of an upscale food hall, and The Hall was unique in that you don't have to walk up to each vendor, you can order from any restaurant all while sitting at your table! I loved the vibes of this place, the decor was fun and unique, and I loved the fancy chandeliers. I started off with a fruity cocktail and it was amazing! But it seems like their drinks are on the weaker side with less alcohol and more juice. The food was okay here, it was a little disappointing because half the vendors weren't even available to order from, and the Indian restaurant had completely closed even though the website still lists them on the menu (they were one of the main reasons we came). We started off with the Mac and cheese bites and they were pretty good, could've been cheesier and more flavorful though. We also got the Jamaican beef patties and they were so good! Definitely my favorite dish of the night. We also got the margarita pizza which was good but whenever you grabbed a slice the cheese would just fall off. We also got the chicken shawarma and fries which were also pretty good. Overall I think it's a nice concept since you get to try multiple cuisines at once, but they could improve the quality of the food to make it truly more of an upscale dining experience.

I've been here once before and I absolutely loved it, but this time my experience was different unfortunately. We made a reservation for well before the advertised closing time, (8:30-9 pm when they close at 11) but when we arrived we were told that half of the kitchens were already closed and could only order from the front half of the menu. This was not advertised anywhere on the website or on their hours, so that was already disappointing. The server greeted us and introduced himself and asked for our names, as well as wished my boyfriend a Happy Birthday, which was nice and felt very personable. When we tried ordering drinks, he said something about them not having any sort of drink menu, which was also disappointing considering last time I came here there was one and I remember all the drinks I had were amazing. When I tried ordering a margarita, he said that they were out of tequila??? Which I thought was so bizarre considering they have a pretty big bar and tequila is a common liquor. I ended up ordering a lemon drop martini which was not good, and my boyfriend got an Old Fashioned, which was also not good LOL. For food we started with the garlic rolls and the fried ribs which were both amazing, especially the fried ribs. They were probably the best ribs I have ever had and I would recommend them over and over again. For entrees I got the oxtail and my boyfriend got the loaded turkey leg. I've heard so many great things about oxtail and I don't know if it was specific to this place but it was not worth all the good things I've heard. It was really bland and under seasoned in my opinion, but the fried plantains were amazing. Overall, it was a really mediocre experience sprinkled with really great things here and there. It's a beautiful building inside and out, but definitely not at all like my last experience here last year where I felt like everything was a 10/10. We were done dining before the restaurant was closed but I still felt like we were being rushed out of there. Maybe we just got unlucky on the day we went, but the only thing I would go back for is the fried ribs.

This is my first time visiting The Hall on the Yard. The establishment is beautiful, the decor is visually pleasing. The menus are overwhelming. We were given a large menu that had 8 restaurants listed on them. Then we were given a brunch menu. Then a separate menu for another restaurant that isn't listed on the main menu. And when we asked about what drinks were available to order, we were given a separate table disc display that showed a QR code to be able to order drinks from. 4 menus total. And then we were told that 4 restaurants are no longer located here at the establishment. It was excessive and below my expectations for a place such as this. We were a group of 5 people (including a young child). I ordered the mini cocktail beef patties as my appetizer and the oxtail dish as my main dish from Rue Island. I'm not a fan of rice, so I ordered steamed vegetables and plantains on the side. I received my meal before everyone at the table. I understand that's because there's different restaurants working together to make everyone's plates so I didn't mind that as much. I was excited to taste the oxtails! I took a bite and...the flavor was not Jamaican oxtail-like. The gravy tasted like the powder packets that says to "just add water." The oxtails were rubbery. I didn't care for it at all, so I informed the waitress and explained that I didn't like the oxtails and that I wanted to order a different protein for my main course. I was going to ask for the escovitch (since it requires actual vegetables and herbs to cook with the fish, assuming it would be fresh). The oxtails were $34 and the escovitch is $30, so not much of a difference. I knew it was going to be an issue by the face the waitress, Nikki, made. SN: she never introduced herself, someone else said her name was Nikki...but she was wearing gray contacts. She tossed another menu across the table to me and she left. Nikki came back about 5 mins later and said that the manager won't take the oxtails off my bill just because I don't like it. She says that the manager can give me a "small discount," but there was nothing more that they could do. She said that they just manage the space. Nikki also said that she wanted the manager to say something to me about it but they wouldn't. I didn't want to spoil my friends' time. So I said that I had no choice and that I'd eat my sides, which I did. For the rest of the meal, I had no contact with Nikki or anyone else. Nikki brought to go containers for one friend. Went to my boyfriend for the bill and apologized TO HIM about my poor meal experience. The bill came out to 91.94. So not even the "small discount" was honored and Nikki still got a decent tip from this poor experience. Another waitress came to clear the table and asked if I wanted a box for my oxtails. I told her no. She made a face and said she doesn't get oxtails from here either. Go figure. We were approached numerous times about whether we had gotten/paid for our bill by other members of staff, further making us uncomfortable as a group. I also want to note that the fries looked like sad McDonald's fries and were served on a hot cast iron skillet to a CHILD. I asked for my bf's meal to be subbed sweet potato fries instead of mashed potatoes. It was also supposed to come with seasonal vegetables, but he received additional potato chunks instead. Potatoes two ways! it was also clear that the staff knew about the exchange because of the uncomfortable stares and facial expressions I got from them on my way out. The whole experience was horrible and I'm angry I wasted my time and my boyfriend's money on this place. I ate $34+ for two sides. It was a VEGAN MEAL and I came for meat.

I really, really wanted to love this place because it honestly has so much potential. I appreciate the concept and I admire the fact that their menu offers something for everyone. Whether you're in the mood for Indian, Asian, Italian, Caribbean, Mexican and more, you're bound to find something you'll enjoy. What I tried from their extensive menu, for the most part, was tasty. However, I found most of it to be extremely overpriced. Favorite : Truffle bruschetta. Great flavor, fresh and just the right amount of truffle. Least favorite: Beef tartar. It just missed the mark, the flavors didn't mesh well together and it was underwhelming. The food all came out at different times but that was to be expected as there are multiple kitchens, so as long as you keep that in mind, it's not a horrible inconvenience. My main issue here lies with the bar. Upon entering, my boyfriend approached the bar immediately and ordered he & I cocktails prior to our party being lead to our table. Not long after we were seated, however, my boyfriend was stuck at the bar waiting for our drinks to be made for at least 10-15 mins before he was able to sit down and join us. Had it been packed this would be more understandable, but it was practically dead on a Thursday evening. When he finally made his way over, I noticed his glass and wondered what he was drinking. When he stated it was an old fashioned, I thought it was peculiar because I had never seen one served in a wine glass before. Whatever, not a huge deal. Once our party finished dinner, we made our way out to the "yard" area where the outdoor bar was located and decided to continue the evening there. It soon became apparent why the old fashioned was served in a wine glass: The bartender didn't know what an old fashioned was and had to Google how to make it (I have no clue if this was the same bartender who made my boyfriend's drink earlier, but we all found it odd that this very common drink apparently was not common here). There was 1 bartender for the outdoor bar, it took a very long time to get drinks and she seemed very overwhelmed despite the fact that it wasn't busy. Like I've stated at the beginning, this place genuinely has potential and if management focused on the areas that needed attention, it could really become an Orlando staple. I know I'm not alone in my critiques since I've read previous reviews and unfortunately, the issues I've mentioned have been mentioned before. With that being said, I'm hoping that they'll recognize their obstacles soon and begin to address & fix them.

Not your usual market place! This is a super nice restaurant seating with 9 different kitchens. You can choose from Mexican,Italian, Caribbean, and Asian to name a few. They do recommend making reservations specially for large groups. The good : The decor is gorgeous and they have a great R&B /hip hop playlist. Lots of seating by the bar, downstairs, upstairs & outside. Now food... slightly underwhelmed. I ordered the Mexican mahi tacos and they were decent. Rice and beans terrible. Literally no salt vibes. I've never had such bland beans before. The steak quesadilla was okay but pretty thin in comparison to other restaurants. The shrimp ceviche was good but keep in mind it's not your typical ceviche they should prob change the name. It was large shrimp in a house made sauce with tons of chips. If your in it for the food.. there's so many other delicious spots near by.

Is a beautiful food hall where you can find food from different restaurants. The difference is that you can sit with a big menu of everything that each restaurant have to offer and order from your table. The food is ok, but the place i love , and the terrace is my favorite! You can rent the second floor for private events. Es un hermoso salón de comidas donde puedes encontrar comida de diferentes restaurantes. La diferencia es que puedes sentarte con un gran menú de todo lo que cada restaurante tiene para ofrecer y ordenar desde tu mesa. La comida está bien, pero el lugar me encanta, ¡y la terraza es mi favorita! Se puede rentar el segundo piso para eventos privados

I am writing this as I wait for an hour to be called for my table. I have been to many food halls in my lifetime, but there are so many things wrong with this one. First off, the "food hall" is ran like a restaurant vs an open hall concept. We should be able to come in, be seated, and order via QR code or at the actual restaurants in the hall. The waiters also seem to be clueless on the food hall's operations. It's a cold night, and we asked if it is possible to put the heaters on and was told that they have to order propane and can't give an ETA on when that will be. This food hall also has the kitchens exposed (atleast on the bottom floor) and there was a kid on his ipad in one of them?????? I was so excited to come here, but this experience has been less than pleasant. Food - We wanted to order from Shay's but was told that their kitchen is backed up and our waiter suggested we order from somewhere else. We got the steak sandwich from Norma's and it was good. The steak was soft and shaved, but the sandwich was just lacking a little pepper. The side Caesar salad was yummy too. Management - please do a better job! This can be such a great spot for locals and tourists visiting the downtown Orlando area. Your lack of operational skills is killing this place!!

TRASH. 2 stars for the ambiance and drinks. I ordered their summer sunrise(something like that) specialty drink. It was pretty good. Then I got a pineapple margarita, which was also good. The waitress asked my friend and I if we wanted another round of drinks, we said yes and told her what we wanted and she took our drinks away. We weren't finished. My friend had half of her drink still in her glass. She also asked us to pay early. Said she didn't mean to rush us, but we felt rushed. I got the chicken salad from the Greek/Mediterranean place. Chicken had an overwhelming burnt taste. It was also cold. None of the food was seasoned well. Lively area. Good music. Their food hall type concept is cool, and maybe a different place inside the hall has better food. But the place I ordered from was not it

The place is like an upscale food court. They have a couple of good food options. Ordered some he Bao, it was tasty and light. The rashmalai was not what I expect. Will not order it again. Prices were on the higher side. Place is clean, different seating options. Service was ok. I would like to try this place again.

The hall makes up 9 diverse restaurants. They do accept reservations seating is in an open space. They have a set of unisex restrooms, but also have on the second floor, a set of gender neutral restrooms. For dinner I had the crispy crab cake from chef and I 10/10, the Bao buns with karage fried chicken from wabi sabi 10/10 and the birria nachos from Itzayana 6/10-too much cheese. The ambiance is nice and the service was attentive and prompt as well. There is valet service available for $8 and the option to park up front for $20.

So they got a 4 for the ambiance and service! I'd have to give a 3.5 for the food and drinks. Excellent service with very personable wait staff and a great bartender who really wanted to provide good service and succeeded. Cool vibey environment with staff welcoming each person into the building. It is a big hall with several food stations and a large bar area with comfortable high top seats and another sitting area with same style seating. Waiters do come and take your order and the food is delivered to your table. Nice place to just sit and chill and have a drink. Foodwise, it was just alright. The Beef Patty was paper thin. As a NYer with much beef Patty experience, this was lacking and nothing really to taste. The crust was good. The chicken wings with hot honey sauce was ok. So many people had told me to try it that my expectations were really high and not met: not really meaty, seasoning was so-so, the crunch was good. Cornbread with real corn kernels was pretty good and enjoyable. The Herbal Smash drink was delicious but really was a cup of ice. By the time I finished it, I was drinking water. Next time, I will drink faster. Will I return: most likely; but because I believe in second chances.

Hall on the Yard is a beautiful establishment. Their business model of a being food hall, but still having a server to handle ordering from the 9 or so different restaurants is really a really cool concept that I think more places should adopt. Unfortunately, it seems that Hall on the Yard is still waiting to maximize on this opportunity. After reading other reviews there was a common theme about the long wait times- this was true for our party as well. We came to celebrate a friend's birthday and made a reservation. As a rule they won't seat a party until 3/4 of the people have arrived which I think is fair. We sat down and we're given out of date menus since the updated ones were all taken. Out of 13 people, we had one correct menu to share. Drinks were ordered first and the Queen Bey is a strong contender if you're looking for what to get. It is a relatively small drink for $16. Also be prepared to wait 30-45 mins before it gets to you. Probably best to order two out of the gate if you'll want more than one. I opted to go for the Firecracker shrimp for food. The shrimp were good, a lot of sauce but I'd rather there be more sauce than not enough. Given the food hall style of the place everyone gets their food at different times which makes sense. Many of the people at our table were waiting on food from Shay's Kitchen. They were working hard to complete the orders, but most of the orders flashing were in red status and we watched numerous servers at their window asking about food too. One friend ordered a ginger beer and found something in one of her ice cubes, she asked for a new drink- but was told they do not provide the can. I'm sure this is another way to improve profits, but maybe some wiggle room there for less than clean ice. Another tragic area of the night surrounded our friends' valet experience. Their cars were left with valet which shut down for the night before we left, but no one told them where to find their cars. One person in our party secured the keys from the front desk and spoke with the manager to get clarity on where the cars were parked- ultimately some were in the lot and others the garage. Having to scavenger hunt a parking garage late at night is not the expectation after easily spending $1000+ as a party of 13. The food I got was tasty, but with the common theme of long wait times going back at least a year, I'm not sure there will be a resolution any time soon. With how expensive food/drinks are, paying for parking/valet troubles, and some of the other technical problems I would encourage going somewhere else unless you really do just want to sit and lounge at an extremely leisurely pace. Money and time will go a lot further elsewhere and will save you some frustration/disappointment.

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while and was able to finally try it since a friend was driving. Very nice open space of different restaurants to choose from on the menu. You can literally order any item from the different restaurants, which was pretty cool. They do offer happy hour, but not sure of the start time. I know it ends at 6pm. They offer indoor and outdoor bar seating area. They won't seat you until everyone at your party is there. Menu is extensive with many different options to choose from. It was hard for me to decide on what to eat. I ended ordering charred octopus and a side of plantains. They were very filling and food came out in a timely manner. FYI depending on your party food orders from different restaurants food will come out at different times. The drinks at the bar was pretty good. Waitress was nice and attentive. Enjoyed this place very much.

I love the concept and the atmosphere. The decor is very beautiful and a great meeting place for cocktails and small plates. I thought the food was OK. It did not wow me but it did intrigue me to come back to try the different menu options that are available. A bit pricey for such small menus so next time I may try an entrée to see if it is worth it. My customer service was good and attentive. Loved my Mocktail. Make sure you make reservations because this place can get really busy.

This place so unprofessional. Security charged at the door 40$ yet gave the door girl 20$ she put it in her purse and he pocket the other 20$ No register at the front, no nothing. Walked in at 12 by 12:34 the bar was closed and they were closing, they didn't have no cups, not even plastic ones. I get is a big event since after a football game but be prepared. Would not recommend this place to anyone new to the area. Atleast call and ask all your questions before hand. Thankfully as I walked out. I asked the sercruiry for his name because I wanted to get in contact with someone in regards to this issues and the manager/ or owner was there and I was refund my door fee. Yet, security took it out his backpack. Little fishy. On the bright side in the 20 minutes I was there, the place is beautiful and you can take really nice pictures.

Came here on Valentine's Day to treat my lady for a special dinner, we walked in, felt very welcome the host was nice and friendly and then we got sat and within 2mins we were approach by our server Gigi and let me tell you she is awesome she is very informative and nice she really made our experience a blast from the past shouts out Gigi I hope she gets this message or even read it. Let's get into the food - so I had the Shrimp Scampi as an entree and honestly on the menu it was so much to pick from It was hard to really choose but it taste amazing great flavor salt level was on point shrimps were cooked to perfection and as for appetizer I had the Grilled octopus and firecracker shrimp, I really had no complaints about the octopus and shrimp everything was just to perfection then i had some cocktails i can't really remember what were the names of the cocktails I had but I know one of them were Gin & Juice and that was good and tasty. As for the ambiance it was all around great nice set up and it was huge and had a lot to offer in there and they gave us roses as we were walking out to leave. This place is just amazing amazing I highly recommend anybody to come ! Well worth the money .

Love this beautiful establishment. 8 different restaurants under one seating. It kind of reminds me of a luxury cafeteria however you get your own server. I ordered the cereal cheesecake w/ freeze dried strawberries and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. My homegirl ordered a filet bison w/ mashed potatoes & broccolini as well as a banana foster dessert w/ vanilla ice cream & a shot of Amaretto. For drinks, we ordered a French 75 for her and a dirty shirley for me. This is where things get tricky. My drink was $4 & with tito's it became a $14 drink. The tito's (1 maybe 1 1/2 pour was $10) Total rip off. My drink also didn't have cherries inside so yeah that was a real bummer on my end. I would've preferred paying for a $4 or maybe $10 drink but $14 - no sir! My server, sweet as pie, should've told me there is an upcharge. Everything else was great. I definitely will be back but definitely not for drinks.

Love the concept of this place, they have so many options. We only were there for less than an hour we were exploring the area so we just ordered 2 drinks and something to eat, we decided to go for the beef tartare from the Chef & I menu and it was amazing! 10/10 The place itself it's extremely busy but there's plenty of seats all around and on the second floor. Maybe because of how crowded it was I did noticed they lack organizations, the servers are all over the place and there's signs everywhere that says you need to see the hostess in order to be seated, we checked twice and there wasn't any hostess at the front so we just walked in and sat at the bar 10 minutes later 2 girls showed up st the reception. O do want to come back and try more dishes because it does look really appetizing.

I cannot say enough great things about this spot. Wow! The service was excellent and all the food choices were spectacular! The atmosphere is a whole vibe. People watching at its best too. Everyone was fashionable, entertained and engaged. It was just such a cool place to say drink and eat! Highly recommend to try this place on the weekend and enjoy the live music, out door seating and everything on this menu. Can't wait to get back and take my seat at the outside bar again. Good times for sure! Food: (Tapas Style) Grilled Octopus Jamaican Beef Patty Calamari Samosas

Visiting Orlando for a girls trip and our group wanted to try out this restaurant. At first glance, the restaurant is a beauty. Nestled in a contemporary apartment complex, the restaurant screams date night destination. We had 8 people in our dinner group, so we made a reservation for 9:30. Upon our arrival, we were asked to wait for an additional 15 minutes. Definitely not a good way to start the evening. When we were seated, we waited an additional 10 minutes for a server. Although he was nice, he wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. For drink, I order a sangria. I'd rate it a 6/10. It was a bit strong and had subtle hints of orange. For my meal, I ordered a patty melt from Chef & I. The sandwich was great, but I could have done without the side of potatoes. This was a solid 8/10 I also ordered the Mexican Street Corn from El Rincon Azteca. I was so disappointed in this appetizer. The corn was bland and the Corona was bitter. I'd rate it a 3/10. Overall, the aesthetic of this restaurant was very cool. I loved that there were so many options in one place. Unfortunately, the service was just not up to par.

Excellent concept well executed. The Hall is a beautiful space inside and out that serves as home to eight separate chef owned restaurants. Very eclectic mix. You can order from any or all of them at any meal as well as from the bar; the Hall sorts it pint in one bill. I sat outside on a beautiful St. Patrick's Day afternoon. The bar outside is long, covered and comfortable. I had the special drink for St. Patty's Day, a concoction the mixologist called "Up in the Heathers." Delicious. I had a caprese chicken sandwich with pesto - delicious. I could have had pizza or chicken and waffles or steak or sushi or.... So many excellent choices. Then I stepped across the courtyard to Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream for dessert and Foxtail Coffee to round out the afternoon's. The setting is incomparable on Virginia and Orange Avenues. It sits in the shadow of The Yard housing complex. There is a turf field courtyard with big beautiful couch seating and giant TVs. I can go on and on. Love this place!

This place has everything for literally every one's cravings. It's a big hall with seating and they bring one big menu with all the different restaurants offerings. You can also reserve the upstairs for private party/dinning. Food is pretty good. The hall itself is beautiful.

Id like to update my review to a 3. My last two times have not been as pleasant as how it used to be. First, two of the 7 restaurants are no longer there...2 of the better ones in my opinion, so I was sad to hear that. If you are vegetarian/vegan you barely have any options to eat, which is sad since it's a food hall, there definitely should be something available to those with dietary restrictions/preferences. Some of the food, I ordered isnt as tasty as it used to be(except the Jamaican restaurant...that one is consistently good.) Third, it's not as crowded it used to be which makes me feel like this business is suffering. There used to be a DJ that played old school jams and I heard that they no longer do that. The servers have also changed....I'm hoping that this place gets it together soon because I used to love it here and thought it was unique. I'd hate to see them go under.

My last visit here was rough, it was a Sunday and I was excited to be home and walk to The Yard for lunch with friends. They had never been and I was raving about the place having something for "everyone". First, two of the restaurants are no longer there. Second, we waited almost 40-45 minutes for our food (particularly the Jamaican spot) for a simple jerk chicken to come out. I didn't even get a picture because it took the longest and by that point I was so frustrated and annoyed for my friend. The food was underwhelming. The poke bowl only came with shrimp and so much rice. My baos were okay too. I think the best plate we ordered was the cauliflower bruschetta but that isn't a "meal" just an app. The positive, this time around I experimented a bit with the drinks. Bartender created a drink off the menu with gin (see picture with flowers). It was delicious and my Expresso martini was also amazing. Parking is really hard around here - when people drive this way / look for parking / walk over / order food... we should be providing a great experience, every single time. Being a local in this area, myself and many others were thrilled for a place like "The Hall on the Yard" to be here. It's progressive, and exciting for Ivanhoe...in order to keep it around, I would hope that this establishment is making the necessary adjustments to keep people coming back.

This is the third time we have attempted to enjoy The Hall on the Yard. We want it to work so badly...but every time we attempt to enjoy it (With large breaks of time in between!) we are always sorely disappointed. I went to use the restroom (Gender Inclusive! Yes!) but there was no soap in the dispensers. When I stepped out to the host stand...I was told 'you can finish upstairs, or I can start looking for soap in a few minutes.' I told her I would wait...and when she returned, she had store bought Dial soap, that had been filled with water to prolong its use. It was better than nothing...so I used it. The server was indifferent and slowly paced. The DJ was great, but for this Sunday vibe - boy was it impossible to talk. (The patio was just as bad for talking.) The food was viable, and as others mentioned...it was paced based on what kitchen prepared it. The check out...wow. You know when you are ready for the check, but the server just does not notice. Imagine that x100. I eventually had to go get our server and ask to check out. He then went to get an order for a table. Since the use TOAST touch pads, I would think our check out would be easier than a new order. But alas, that was his focus. The new order. He eventually after almost 20m came to us to cash out...had applied gratuity...and split the bill for a party of 4. The Toast pad he was using could not read credit cards, so 'I have to go find another pad...it will be a minute.' Another painful 10 minutes. Here is the bottom line. The Hall on the Yard is poorly operated and here is the truth...POORLY OWNED. After all these years...it is the OWNERS who DO NOT CARE what service levels and care they want to establish for their venue. Sadly, I had to learn this lesson THREE times. So needless to say...I will not be going for a fourth. THE VENUE IS STUNNING. IN A STUNNING LOCATION. WHY IN THE WORLD MUST WE ENDURE IT BEING SO POORLY OPERATED!? Horrendous.

The Hall on the Yard has been popular on social media for awhile and some of my friends had already been here and said it was worth a try. I attended for my birthday with some friends and all I can say is that it was far from spectacular. My whole dinner was over 4 hours. (Most of it was spent waiting for someone to give our menu and not having a server) The service was really slow and the host was rude. They didn't assign my table a server and we had to flag a random one down every time we needed something. I was handed a menu and we waited 20 minutes before my friend asked a server to get us water. After that it took them another 20 minutes to get our orders. After placing our orders the food was served within an hour and 30 minutes. My friend got her meal within 10, and my other friend got hers within 30 minutes, my order was served within an hour, and my last friend got hers within an hour and 30 minutes. It took them 30 minutes to get ketchup. My meal had to be returned since there was something in it and I ended reordering and waiting another 30 minutes for the food. I could understand if it was busy but it was around 11 am to noon when we arrived and we didn't leave until about 4 pm. We had asked for dessert menus and it took them an extra hour to serve. The server was nice but it took 2 hours to get our cocktails we ordered when they asked for our orders. I will say the aesthetic of the place is very pretty and the upstairs rooms are gorgeous but besides the decorations I would not return here again for the service.

I finally made it out to visit The Hall on the Yard. It was a Friday night and the place suffered from low energy. They didn't have live music and the place was messy...dirty tables on the patio and unkept bathrooms. The bartenders are skilled!! Their cocktails are delicious and they are professional. The waiters are also quick on their feet, informative and upbeat. The food runners tried to drop another tables items with us three times in two hours. We tried several appetizers from a few of the eight restaurants located in the hall and did not fall in love with any of them. So many items were actually convenience food products...that means processed food. The crab cake with an arugula salad tasted good but it had a mushy texture...like tuna fish. The caramelized cauliflower is a popular dish and it looked promising. It was disappointing because they prepared it with stale tasting focaccia bread and the life cooked out of the cauliflower. Our coconut shrimp was poor quality, bland, overcooked and sitting on mini pieces of dry naan bread with some kind of nondescript sauce. All of our menu choice's followed the same pattern.

I've been here about 3 times now so I feel like I can finally make a fair assessment. Firstly, there are several different concepts which is nice if you want a lot of options but for me the menu is a bit overwhelming. Nonetheless, all of the food is cooked to perfection. From the fish to the steak to the duck, it's cooked to just the right temperature and tastes amazing. The restaurant also has a very upscale and modern ambiance and plenty of photo opps. The only reason I won't give this place 5 stars is because the service still needs some work. The servers are always new and don't know what they're doing. I also don't feel the servers really know the menu which is annoying because you may need some help navigating all of the different concepts. I really enjoy going to this restaurant and will continue stopping by from time to time. As a heads up, this is more of a foodie brunch than a drinking brunch. So if you're looking for a party style brunch, this might not be the right spot.

Came here for dinner with friends. With a reservation. Wait time was about 5 minutes. Our server Butters was very attentive. They have 2 new restaurants outside of the regular eateries. I tried Shay's Kitchen and it was awesome. I had the turkey leg with mac and cheese, greens and gravy. Decor and ambiance is still very nice!

OMG! 10/10 I went here with my family around 6 pm and I already can't wait to come back here! The concept is you can order from the 6 different counters inside of the restaurant which allows you to have the best of both worlds and so many options! The service was amazing, our waiter was quick and very knowledgeable of the menu. The ambiance was next level, decorated nice and very elevated. Literally everything we tried was amazing, There's so many amazing options you can't go wrong with anything you try. Top favorites was the cauliflower toast and pasta. Great place to eat when you visit Orlando.

The Hall on the Yard is advertised as an upscale food hall with four dining options including Mediterranean, Southern, Caribbean and Italian. But for me, it fell short of upscale. The indoor/outdoor and dining hall/bar seating was nice, but service was slow and disorganized. I opted for a pineapple mimosa which the server forgot about until I asked after 15 minutes of waiting. For my entrée I had the chicken tenders and truffle fries from Shay's. The tenders were decent but the truffle fries were cold and hard. The music, hip hop and R&B offered a bright spot for an upbeat vibe. Overall, I see potential but this Saturday lunch outing was below average at best.

The Hall on the Yard was definitely an experience I've never come across before. They have 9 kitchens from my memory so the food comes out sporadically & to be honest with you I really liked that about it! I really liked the ambiance and the staff, it made our meal more enjoyable. The fried green tomatoes were delicious. The only thing that I didn't care for were the gyros. When we went to eat them they felt extremely cold? Almost frozen? Kind of killed my appetite for that one but the rest of the food was enjoyable. I really liked the bao buns too. The drinks were also good, I enjoyed them! I would return but I probably would order something other than the gyro!

Nice spot! Tasty food from all over the world! Everyone will find at least one thing to eat. Reminds me of Armature Works in Tampa and Ponce City Market in Atlanta!

Dined at hall on the yard the day after Christmas. Very cool spot! Loved the outdoor space with few games for the kids, and the interior is so pretty! We had a large party and seated at a round table. My favorite for large groups. The service was a bit slow but only to find out a bunch of employees called off. Our waitress was great and props to her for her hard work and kindness! The food was great. Bummer was only one side of menu was available. I really wanted beef tartare but next time! Great spot, great good, easy parking.

I have to start by saying that the location is in an amazing spot with such a vibe as soon as you walk up. Parking was hard to get, but we did get it. They do also offer valet. When you walk in the ambiance and decor is breathe taking. We were however taken back by how sticky the floor was as soon as you walk in. Our shoes made lots of unpleasant noise on our walk upstairs. And I wasn't to happen to clean my Tory Burch shoe bottoms when I got home. We thought maybe there was a spill, but the staff were't too concerned when we mentioned it. It was also still sticky when we left. I tried multiple restaurants to get a feel for the food. Overall the food was just ok. I expected the food to be hot and fresh, because it was a Wednesday evening and not too crowded but it wasn't. The Greek Fries were by far the best thing I ate that night. Our party was 8 people. Our waiter disappeared a lot and wasn't in too much of a rush to get our drinks or refills. The runners took our food to another table several times before bringing it to us. I may go back again to see if this was just an off night, but I'm not in a rush.
