65. quiet, like to walk around people watch, like in Ybor, or the Hillsb River Walk
old, but unique
old looking, but clean, and good daily specials...not the glitz of HB Marys' or Street Car Charlies...worth the quiet try
3 strikes and I'm out of here!
I usually give a business 3 tries before the infamous middle finger wave...visit 1) newly openned, slow kitchen {forgiven}; visit 2) slow service, both w/server who we had to remind we needed refills, and slow kitchen; visit 3) Sunday night 8pm, stood at greeter stand plenty of servers, that never gave the front door a look, after waiting 10 minutes a waiter who happened to come over advised me to go to the bar for service...called the manager the next day...put on hold...there is other eataries with food that is as good...why take the stairs, when you can sit on the street level, people watching.
It's not the Howard Johnson, any more.
Had a chance to catch the food/Inside bar, 1st went in during the cold snap...Food was good, and the bar had friendly locals (I use to have an old BF, on that side of town), so I remember the ups/downs of the area...cleaner than Parliment House-Orlando, which really showing it's age! (even saw a room, that was being cleaned-CLEAN & REMODELED)
