Garp & Fuss

Just wanted to take a second to leave a review for this wonderful restaurant. We held a mini event upstairs in the loft to celebrate a surprise engagement. When we walked in, the reservation was not labeled correctly but luckily since I arrived an hour early to decorate, we were able to get it sorted. The manager, the hostesses, serves, bartenders were all beautiful people. They got everything corrected, allowed to us to decorate with no issues, and gave amazing service. We let them in on the surprise and they were so helpful. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. The vibe was great. I will recommend this restaurant to everyone I know passing through winter park!

Went to Garp & Fuss yesterday and had such a wonderful experience! From the service to the ambiance to the food, I enjoyed it all immensely! We sat on the covered patio and truly felt like I was in Europe! We had the burrata appetizer which was delicious and then the fuss sandwich with onion rings! Delicious! 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back!

We came in on valentines day and was seated very efficiently. Our drinks and food came out so fast. I love the lighting and soft atmosphere. Our waiter was Ava and she is so nice! She gave us flowers!! 10/10 experience and will be back soon!!!

Had my birthday dinner here and was not disappointed. The food and service were great. I can’t wait to go back with my family and friends! The blue crab fritters are to die for! And the steak frites 10/10 with that gray. GET EXTRA GRAVY!

Made a reservation for 11am brunch on Saturday. And was seated right away. Didn’t start getting full till right at noon. Service was great and informative. Food was really great. Flavorful and very well prepared. It is in a shopping alley, so not hard to find at all. But had to look for it at first. Really enjoyable restaurant. Will definitely be back.

I absolutely adore this place! I also love its location; it feels like you've found a secret restaurant that only locals know about. The atmosphere is chic but relaxed & the servers really treat you right! Thank you to Christina for taking such great care of me and recommending both the Late Checkout & the Smoked Trout Dip - both of which did not disappoint! I can't wait to come back to try more drink specials & delicious menu items!

We've been coming to Garp & Fuss for a while now and im honestly shocked I haven't written a review, because we freakin' love this place. We always try to sit out in their beautiful atrium when we visit, but even when seated indoors, they provide a great experience every time. On our most recent visit for brunch, we enjoyed their B.E.L.T. sandwich and the Shrimp & Grits. The BAM sauce in their sandwich is my fiancée's favorite. She'd probably eat a bowl of it if allowed 🤣 Staff is always friendly, attentive, and great at recommending if you're unsure of what to order. We love Garp & Fuss so much, we even took a few of our engagement photos outside! 😅 This place is great. Keep being awesome, G&F! 🤙🏼

Such a beautiful place for my first time visit. We ordered the bacon burger and decided to share it just to try it out and it was delicious and flavorful . Truffle fries were on point. We saw other dishes come out and said we cannot wait to come back to try the other options everything looked so good. The covered outdoor seating made the experience even more enjoyable. Great customer service. She was very helpful and professional. Brunch is served on the weekends only which I surely will try to make one weekend.

This past weekend my son and daughter -in- law hosted my 60th surprise dinner party at Garp & Fuss, and it was absolutely amazing! The service from Melissa and Sierra was exceptional - they were attentive, friendly and made sure every guest felt take care of throughout the evening. The food was outstanding, from the appetizers all the way through dessert. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making this an ideal spot for a special celebration or a casual date night. I highly recommend Garp & Fuss for anyone looking for great food, excellent service and a memorable experience!

Dined here with my boyfriend for NYE 🎆✨🥂we’ve eaten here previously and ordered all different food items this time!! Started off with an espresso martini and “no Garp or fuss” tequila shot and green juice chaser (not depicted in photo) - drinks were delicious! My bf loves tequila and this was a very different kind of drink than he normally orders but he loved it. Food was very flavorful and well prepared. Environment is cozy pub-like & then there is a separate atrium style dining area full of windows & greenery that is very charming, though that room tends to be full and quite loud. servers were friendly and attentive. Left satiated and happy!

We went to Garp and Fuss today with our toddler and had such a great experience. They have a kids menu, which made things easy, and it was clear they are very kid-friendly. Our waiter was wonderful, when she noticed our little one getting fussy, she even switched one of the TVs to cartoons for him, which kept him calm and happy. He loved his food too! As for the menu, they had a few vegetarian options clearly labeled, but when we asked, our server let us know they also offer Impossible patties and can substitute them in any burger. That level of flexibility was super accommodating. We tried the artichoke and spinach dip to start, which was delicious, and I had the lobster roll. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Between the thoughtful service, kid-friendly touches, and great food, we’ll definitely be back.

Great food to go along with a beautiful atmosphere. Unfortunately, I don’t remember our server name but she was phenomenal. Definitely a 10 out of 10. My wife and I are coming back for sure.

Came to visit our daughter in Orlando and she had this place saved. It’s in a nice hidden area. You can sit in the atrium or inside in booths. Sierra was our waitress and was super helpful. Then the food! Everything we had was delicious from the crispy Brussels and the Burrata to the main dish - Riggies & Ricotta 😋. I left some room for the Brownie A La mode AND the house made Bread pudding!!!

This place is some of best food that I have had in the state of Florida. I My husband got the booze burger, and I got the goat burger. The goat cheese on my burger was absolutely amazing. I love that was fried and when I cut into it and smashed it down, it made a nice topper for the fries that came with the meal. I would also ask to get a side of ranch because his house made is made with some paprika. The pickles as well were delicious if you’re in Winter Park and can find this little place on the offbeat path I would definitely go. It’s cute. It’s funky. It has some nice tile work in the garden section. It’s definitely a funky Americana mid-century modern vibe. That’s very Collective.

It’s been almost three months since our wedding reception, and we’ve been meaning to write this review because we truly couldn’t let the moment pass without giving Garp & Fuss the recognition they wholeheartedly deserve. They gave us an unforgettable evening, one that we will cherish forever and we’re incredibly grateful for the experience. From the very beginning, the planning process was seamless thanks to Alyssa, the incredible event manager. From our first conversation, she was professional, responsive, and warm. No matter how detailed or specific our requests were, Alyssa always found a way to say “yes” and made us feel completely supported. Her communication was consistent and clear, and she truly went above and beyond to ensure every element of our celebration was exactly as we envisioned. On the night of our reception, Alyssa was there from beginning to end, making sure everything ran smoothly. She coordinated every detail with such calm and grace, allowing us to relax and simply enjoy our night with our guests. Her presence and attentiveness made all the difference we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We also want to give a huge thank you to the amazing team of servers who worked that night. I wish we could remember each of their names because they were all so kind, attentive, and on top of everything. They made sure our guests were taken care of and helped create such a joyful atmosphere throughout the evening. And of course, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful warm, stylish, and perfect for a celebration. The food and drinks were outstanding, and the whole team at Garp & Fuss helped us create memories that will last a lifetime. To Alyssa and the entire Garp & Fuss team: thank you for helping us bring our vision to life and for giving us a night beyond anything we could’ve hoped for. We can’t recommend you enough to anyone looking for a stunning venue, incredible service, and a team that truly cares.

We had such an incredible experience here for a team dinner! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and perfectly timed for our group. Every single person at the table was raving about their meal. A special shoutout to our server, Christina. She was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She made the entire evening feel effortless and took such great care of our team. The overall atmosphere and service made it the perfect spot for a celebratory dinner. We’ll definitely be back!

Have y’all tried this? I went with The Fuss fried chicken sandwich, and it delivered that sweet-heat sweet spot nicely. The honey sriracha brings the warmth without hijacking your taste buds, and the blueberry relish is a sneaky good curveball adds just enough pop to keep things interesting. Is it the biggest chicken breast in town? Nah. Is it plenty and very tasty? Absolutely. The textures work: crisp chicken, fresh greens, and that boss sauce tying it all together. It’s a balanced sandwich that feels thoughtful rather than overbuilt. Verdict: Solid flavor, smart combos, and worth the order.

The service here is excellent and shot out to Chef Carlos working the kitchen. The wings were amazing. The steak frites had an overly smoky taste but was still pretty good. My friend tried the orange creamsicle cake and it was surprisingly really good.

The Garp and fuss aesthetic wise is Great! Food/Service average. Drinks rating: •Park ave punch: overall good a bit sweet 8/10 •The fussy mule: could they have added more lemon I doubt it im sure they used up the whole inventory for this drink 1/10 *these were non alcoholic maybe the alcoholic ones are better. Appetizers rating: •Buffalo Cauliflower: Great flavor texture was great 10/10 •Burrata: Excellent flavor 10/10 *Entree Rating: •Fig & G.O.A.T burger: Flavors mix well together cooked to order presentation was great definitely worth the price. 10/10 •The Pub burger: Regular burger nothing special about it flavor was good cooked to order worth the price probably not but overall good 9/10 •Truffle Gnocchi: The gnocchi was so thick it was like a kid made it with play dough and they attempted to cook it sauce tasted like Campbells cream of mushroom soup nothing about this dish was worth it 1/10 •Steak Frites: Steak was flavorful,gravy was normal tasting and fries were regular fries overall not worth the price or hype but not horrible 6/10 *Service: Went on a Tuesday night it was busy but not hectic. Service took A LONG time im unsure if there is not enough wait staff or kitchen staff but the food took more than it should have to come out and by the time it did a lot of it was cold all the entrees at our table that had fries the fries were cold. We did not order dessert because who knows how much longer we would have had to wait. Our server was named Melissa she made recommendations and was very nice but we didn’t see her much we had to ask another employee if she could get our waitress so we could get our check we had been waiting so long. Overall if you have other plans after dinner this might not be the place because of the wait. If you have time and want aesthetic pictures and order appetizers then this place is great. Possibly brunch or lunch might be better willing to give it another try during these times but as for dinner it’s a no.

I love their atrium, such a great vibe. Have been going for some time everytime I am in town I make sure to go. Theres other breakfast places nearby that are good too but theres always a wait. I would definitely check out, be aware they state now restaurant policy does not allow kids in the atrium- which is really the whole point of their restaurant I believe that makes them different from the rest. Not sure since when this has been in practice as I have brought my baby there before- felt a little weird to be advised its always been there policy but what can you do.

Alexander Shapiro

Absolutely incredible food. Literally the best gnocchi of my life. Made reservations, but only atrium seating was available. Indoor seating should be available for reservation guests with this heat. After about an hour in the atrium, we felt like we were getting cooked. It was beautiful, but brutal and I would never sit there again. The waitress was nice, but the service was sloooooowww. It took forever to have our order taken, and our server was somewhat inattentive after the fact. We waited an eternity for drinks, appetizers and entrees, but the food was top tier when it finally arrived! Also, serving room temp tap water to atrium guests when the feels like temp outside is over 100 was rough.Would still be back!
