"I finally remember to sit and write this place the stellar review that deserves it. where should you start? in the past I know that I had the triple berry bar and a caramel apple something. some time ago I had a piece of quiche that was absolutely heavenly (literal, fluffy as a cloud) and I would go all the way there for quiche if possible if they were more vegetarian options. my spouse had a few articles and also loved them, one of which was what they call a handpiece (picked like an empanada) and that smells so rich in sweet barbeque that I regret my veggie away. last week I ordered the tomato cake for lunch and a blueberry cream cheese hand pie for later. both were absolute happiness. remember only this quick, easy lunch break and the feeling of luxus that gave me a busy day makes my mouthwater."

"I’m ashamed to say I’ve lived less than a mile away for 5 years and just not tried the Aardvark. The food is delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere was fun and upbeat. We came for Sunday brunch and got the hangover sandwich (pictured) and the steak n eggs (pictured) along with bottomless mimosas. First of all, there is a special place in my heart for a restaurant that knows that a mimosa is 99% champagne and 1% juice (we are rounding up here). We got the pineapple mimosa but they also had orange and cranberry as options. I will say, my steak was cooked more medium than medium well but I personally only order medium well at restaurants that aren’t known for their steaks because they usually undercook it so it’s not even worth taking a star away. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned very well. Our server made sure to keep our drinks full and show us pictures of her dogs (always a win for us). I also appreciate that they have a lot of deals on Monday’s for service workers such as Monday brunch, $2 miller lite or yeunglings and $3.50 house wines all day. Definitely recommend."

"The food here was good. The sake was good and the server explained it well. However, for the price point, I want: great service with explanations of what the food is (we had to ask what every single course was); professional service (not a chef who is drinking alcohol during our whole experience a server who looked as if he just rolled out of bed); not hear foul language course discussions. This is not a restaurant worthy of a Michelin star. We have enjoyed several other Michelin star restaurants and this leaves a lot to be desired. It is a good sushi restaurant. We were all extremely disappointed and uncomfortable."

Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream

"If Kelly's handmade ice cream is not the most beautiful dessert you've ever had, it must be in conversation. One thing that my wife and I always do when you visit a city is to try their ice cream shops and hot dog stands to compare their products with our Chicago favorites. In Orlando, Florida, Kelly's homemade ice cream has been fulfilling customers since 1930 as it started its business in a food truck. Located on 3114 Corrine Drive, Kelly's has grown up in the world to a brick and mortar location. But the quality and taste of its ice cream is as good as ever. Open from noon to 9 Monday to Thursday, noon to 10 on Friday, 11 to 10 on Saturday and 11 to 9 on Sunday, this local handmade ice cream shop in the Audubon Park banana columns, Brownie sunflowers and a variety of ice cream flavor guarantees a smile on your face and a few calories on your belt. When visiting an ice cream shop, my wife and I usually order three pots in a cup so that we can taste as many flavors as possible. On this occasion my wife chose Butter pecan, Toffe Fudge and Strawberry. I chose roasted coconut, cookies and cream and honeycomb caramel vertebrae. Other popular flavors are raspberry truffles dark chocolate, lemon crunch, Kelly's Cornish vanilla, butterscotch and rum and rosin. Honestly, you can't make a bad choice."

"Beautiful interior! I love all plants and green inside, it makes the room feel so warm and earthy. The women working there were also beautiful and pleasant. I got the Brownie sunshade and I think it was a Ube Brownie who was an excellent shot on the dessert. I also bought a chocolate chip cookie because they were super fresh and they saw and advised so well! The ice cream was so creamy and the brownie was warm and fluffy. I noticed they offer vegan milkshakes and ice flavors and that was a very nice plus."
