Antlers Lounge - e Hills

My family and I went for the Orlando Weekly burger promotion and had a very pleasant experience. Every staff member we encountered was extremely nice and helpful, unfortunately I am terrible with names, however I do want to make sure I mention them all. From the guy at the door, who gave us directions and even checked to see how we liked our burgers as we were leaving. The person in the Antlers Lounge that personally escorted us to the pool bar and followed up with us a couple of times to see how we were. She even made the garden burger sound good. Best of all was our beautiful server, whose name starts with an A, was spot on with everything and makes a great mojito. The food and drinks were so good. There were others that came to check in on us as well and that was even when they started to pick up. As we were leaving, even the front desk staff acknowledged us and asked how everything was. Honestly I don't think we would have ever gone there had it not been for the promotion, but I am so glad we did. The next time we are in the area, I definitely want to try the Truffletini.

Had the berry mojito which was insanely sweet. The place itself is small and limited especially on a Friday night. The servers were swamped, but they were both nice, it just takes a while for them to make it back to you. For appetizers, had the shishito peppers with bonito flakes which was yum! The truffle fries, just tasted like regular Wendy's fries. Also had the shrimp cocktail. It was a bit overpriced at $13 for 3 shrimps. My companion had the bbq rib burger which was a bit too rich and cloying for my taste, and I had the farmer's burger with pork belly and fried egg. I ordered it medium rare and it came closer to being well done. Is it the worse place yo get a meal? No bit there are plenty of other excelent choices on International Drive,so I suggest doing your research first.

It's an intimate hotel bar and sometimes has live music!

For a hotel bar, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and liquor selection is great.

Beautiful and elegant. So relaxing. A refreshing oasis in the chaos that is I-drive. Well-crafted drinks and tasty burgers.
