For us a new addition to the RC and a welcome one. A likeable concept of relaxed restaurant and bar with great selection of craft beers including the very local and good Surplus. It is a gastro pub! The particular room we were allocated lacked ambience but the overall feel of the place was good. Service was very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable of the dishes and beers. Unusually many of the wines are available by carafe or glass but there is also a much wider selection by bottle. Whichever way the wines are very expensive for what they are. We had the Tuna Tartar, Redfish and Shrimp Grit and each enjoyable but again very expensive for what are simple dishes. Even allowing for the RC context the poor value fir money for what is a gastro pub does detract and hence 4 stars

When you go to Highball and Harvest, you walk through the Ritz-Carlton.
There is no doubt you are in an ultra luxury hotel with room prices that are $600/night for a minimum, seeing the decorations and perfection with cleanliness and anesthetics.
The carpets are vacuumed and adjusted to allow the fibers to contour to a uniform and authentically pleasing setting.
There are hand sanitizer stations about every 10 feet, and custodial staff still wear masks. In a spotless hotel, it is clear that the management wants you to feel safe, and I did.
On my way to Highball and Harvest from the self parking, I walked into a deserted restroom in between the conference hall, quiet on the weekend, and the lobby, with a high class live entertainment, playing a chill version of Sublime's Santeria.
The restroom was like a museum. Each sink was perfectly setup with paper towels and soap. The urinals were all clean and welcoming. There were cozy chairs?! (Is this how a woman's restroom looks?!). The floor was hand tiled, beautifully.
Dinner was exceptional. When you eat out, the service is the focal point. Food is food.
We sat outside, as we always do, post pandemic. We were the only people there. The host gently asked if we preferred indoors, contrary to our OpenTable reservation. He didn't push at all though. We stuck with outdoors.
Robbie, our waiter, is a master of his craft. Seriously, he is gold that exemplifies the sparkle of the Ritz-Carlton. He did everything right...got us drinks immediately, accepted a food order for apps early, checked on us constantly, but not ever annoyingly. He even swapped out our waters because it was hot out and he wanted to ensure we had cold water (can I please hire him away from you?!)
The food was very good, as usual. Deviled eggs, steak tartare, watermelon salad, brussel sprouts, and fresh bread.

This place is spectacular. We eat out a lot and travel a lot and I don’t write many recommendations, but Highball & Harvest is above and beyond. We stayed five nights at the Ritz and after eating here on night two, we had to change our plans on night five to return for a second meal. Everything and everyone is awesome, but a special thanks goes out to our server Robbie who is truly wonderful. He went above and beyond to make sure our kids were happy and he was attentive to our every need. I will go out of my way to eat here again in the future.

Staying not too far from the Ritz, so thought we would give Highball & Harvest a try. Saw good reviews, so I expect our experience was not typical. Arrive a bit early, so had a drink at the bar, the one bright spot of the evening was the person at the bar, Vicky. Got seated, and our waiter seemed to be a nice guy, but service initially was a bit slow. Had another table seated after ours, ordered the same appetizers, then got served their main course, finished, paid up and left and we were still waiting for our meal. The waiter must have known something was amiss, as he 'brought us something' (soup, which we did not order). After another 10 minutes or so (the soup got cold) they finally brought our main course, 90 minutes after our arrival, and by then we were not interested. Got the items to go, and will see how they reheat tomorrow. Should we return, we will likely just eat at the bar, as at least there we will get drinks relatively quickly. Expect this is not normal, as this is a restaurant in the Ritz Carlton, and we expected Ritz-like service which was far from what we got (with the exception of Vicki). May give them another chance, but will have to consider it. Hope your experience is better.

Such a disappointing breakfast. I booked the Ritz Carlton as my daughter was celebrating her 30th birthday and I wanted to start her day somewhere nice for breakfast. There were 3 of us, we ordered from the menu rather than the buffet. I had the avocado on toast, which was nice (albeit I never ate my egg). My daughter and partner ordered poached eggs and bacon and eggs Benedict, both meals arrived cold. We informed our server, who said not a problem we can change that! Actually we all thought an apology would have also been good. We then waited and waited for their breakfast to come, I finished my avocado, while they watched, so much for breakfast together! I asked to speak to the manager and he actually apologised and said he would see what happened, after an age their second breakfast arrived and whilst the plate was hot, the food was cold yet again. I have no idea why they can’t make a hot breakfast but they appear to be incapable. I can only assume that they source the food from the buffet, which may have sat there. However, after the first complaint I really would have thought that they would have ensured the food the second time was hot. In fairness they never made us pay but that to me isn’t the point, we were there to start my daughters birthday off on a high note and just ended up complaining. I would much rather pay and have a good time, a free inedible meal does not make up for it. Sadly a very poor experience of the Ritz Carlton Orlando.

Our family had reservations for Christmas Day Buffet at 3: O’clock. We were told the restaurant was located downstairs. The lobby is lovely and we went downstairs to the restaurant and the first thing we saw was people playing pool and a bar. This was very disappointing. I thought this was a high end restaurant from the photos and some of the reviews. We were seated at a booth and it felt like a cafe atmosphere. Definitely not an upscale atmosphere. The waiter was very welcoming and very attentive throughout our dinner. Since it was buffet style we got up and served ourselves. The first station offered several types of cheeses and antipasto like meats with a small cold shrimp and oyster section. The cocktail sauce was in a mason jar. The next station had six types of salads nothing special. There was no soup or pasta station very disappointing. Then this was followed by a carving station offering Turkey and prime rib portions were about three slices of Turkey and a generous slice of prime rib the problem was the Turkey was dry and the prime rib was so rare that it looked raw. Not very appetizing. Last station had several main course options that included baked fish in a light sauce, a pasta dish with chopped Turkey and light cheese sauce, taco type beef with tortillas, and sliced baked ham that was dry and overcooked, mashed potatoes, green been casserole and assorted breads. There was also a very small selection of sushi. Everything had been sitting too long and was drying out. The desert section was the only section that offered a variety of small pastries, mini cakes in holiday shapes chocolates and a person making creme brûlée. At the end of the meal we were given the check and the grand total for three adults including drinks which were two diet sodas and one glass of wine was 534.00 dollars before gratuity which we added an additional 100.00 dollars to this made the grand total 634.00 dollars..The Ritz Carlton has an outstanding reputation but the Christmas Buffet was a complete waste of money. I have never attended a buffet that offered such a limited amount of food that was mostly lack luster and extremely unappealing. We decided to come because friends had recommended it but it was a complete disappointment. We will never repeat this experience. The price was 155.00 dollars a person but does not include drinks.

Small selection but very good. Place stays pretty busy and since COVID we have kind of lowered or expectations for service. The prices are high like everything here at the two resorts. One example is $14 for chips and salsa that you get free at any hole in the wall Mexican joint. When you are dropped off at these two hotels you are kind of held hostage.

We went here for my husbands birthday with our family (including a 19 month old) the entire experience was outstanding- from parking to walking in and going down to the restaurant. Our server was Mounir, who was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I wanted a special salad and my accommodations were met beyond my expectations. My husband got to chose a dessert which was delicious and the baby got a special dessert too! The Southern spread was big enough to share as was the brussel sprouts (and both were delicious). We also ordered the octopus, pork chop, scallops and the burger. The only dish that didn’t meet our standards was the burger. This is definitely a place we will visit again

Mounir was an exceptional waiter both evenings we ate here during our stay. The food was delicious and the donuts with coffee ice cream that we could fill ourselves with hazelnut cream were fun and tasty. When Mounir found out we were leaving too early in the morning the next day to enjoy breakfast, he gave us complimentary fruit and Parker House rolls for the morning. Eating at this restaurant is a major highlight of our stay when we travel to the J.W. Marriott/Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes!

Excellent food and presentation! Attention to decor detail 100%. Halibut and prime ribeye cooked PERFECTLY. MY farro risotto was out of this world. Altho I was full, someone recommended the donuts for dessert so I ordered them. WOOWWWW. Warm cinnamon donut holes served with Nutella could not be beat. Our server Mounir was amazing, attentive and so personable. Thank you Mounir for a great evening.

Our first visit to Highball & Harvest won't be our last. The atmosphere, service (thank you, Mounir & team), and food were extraordinary. We enjoyed the comfy seating in a booth, excellent craft cocktails, wine and beer, and absolutely delicious food - from appetizers to coffee & dessert. My diver scallops were perfectly cooked and sweet, and I would marry the chocolate cherry cake if possible. Prices reflect what you'd expect to spend at a Ritz property, but the quality and experience were worth it.

We ate here 4 days for breakfast and 1 night for dinner during our weeklong stay at the Ritz. The breakfast is excellent. And service all around is very good. The bar area is great and they have a very wide range of cocktails and drinks to suit any taste. The only place we felt they fell short was the dinner. The food was good but just not as great as the breakfast. Still worth going for sure!

Excellent food, good variety of dishes. I was there several times during a conference and enjoyed it but one night there were groups next to us that talked and laughed so loud our business dinner almost went down the drain. Due to this no 5 points.

From start to finish, it couldn’t have been a more special meal! The staff were very personable and accommodating, even going so far as to give us bottled waters to take home as well as validating our parking / valet ticket. The food was exquisite - the kale salad, grilled romaine salad, Parker House rolls and entrees of Red Fish as well as scallops were perfectly cooked and presented. As we had a celebration, even indulged in mini donuts which are homemade and come with cappuccino (also homemade) ice cream and chocolate hazelnut spread…. Scrumptious says it all! Kudos to the chef!!!!

We are staying at Ritz Carlton Orlando for our 3 year wedding anniversary. We made reservations on Friday around 5pm for 6pm. When we arrived they wished us a happy anniversary and sat us at a nice quiet corner with a view. We ordered the southern app, the Nashville wings, and the shrimp and grits. For desert we ordered the crème brûlée. All off our food was absolutely delicious, service was prompt as well. Our server was Mounir who was wonderful. We are Orlando natives and will absolutely be back.
