The Ravenous Pig - American restaurant in Winter Park - 565 W Fairbanks Ave, USA

During my visit to town, I had the pleasure of dining with family at their favorite local restaurant, and it truly exceeded expectations. The service, from our arrival throughout the entire meal, was nothing short of fantastic. The staff and management exhibited genuine hospitality that added to the overall wonderful experience. While some specials were limited due to high demand, I seized the opportunity to indulge in the dry-aged NY STRIP, and it was truly amazing. The flavors were exquisite, and the preparation was nothing short of perfection. The carefully curated selection of wines perfectly complemented our meal, and the diverse bourbon offerings provided a delightful choice for a cocktail or two to cap off our evening. The ambiance, service, and culinary delights left me thoroughly satisfied. Without hesitation, I give this establishment two enthusiastic thumbs up, a well-deserved 5-star rating, and my highest recommendation. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Fantastic service, food, and ambiance. Seated promptly for 5:00pm reservations in the smaller dining room between the main dining area and the bar. It was really cozy and felt like we had our own private space. Everything we ordered was delicious! Perfect presentation, portions, temperature, flavor, etc. Sampled a couple of house-brewed beers on tap and decided on a gose, which was also excellent. Service was impeccable and made the experience even better. Highly recommend; we loved everything about it. My husband tends to prefer ordering food at home from a delivery service over eating out, and even he said that this was the best possible restaurant experience you could have. We’ll be back for sure.

The server was perfect when he was there. Not as attentive as he could have been. Giving him 4 stars because there is room for improvement. But the service we did get was good. No dairy free menu, but the kitchen was good enough to figure it out!! Ordered the steak and fries. These I’d fight you for. The steak was already cut (not a fan of - but that’s me) and I had a 1/2 inch of gristle on mine so I felt shorted. The fries were AMAZING. He ordered the short ribs and he liked the mushrooms (outstanding). The meat was soft tender and flavorful. We both feel like we had a good meal but aren’t stuffed. So it’s great!

Amazing food!!! We had the pork belly, lamb tongue, steak frites and mussels!!! Super delicious!!! Jason was very nice and his recommendations were perfect!!! House beer is delicious as well!!! Coming back for sure!!!

This was my first time here and let me tell you I had an incredible time. From the time we sat until the time we left, the entire experience was amazing. Thanks to an amazing meal and drinks and to our incredible server Mattie. If you go, you have to ask for him. He was attentive, sweet, full of suggestions and knowledge and just a delight to be around. He let me sample some of the beers made on site, to which then I just an incredible one to pair with my dinner, the Lardermelon. He seemed as if he was genuinely enjoying the fact that we were enjoying ourselves with the food and with him, which just created a circle of happiness and a great time. We had the pork belly, the red snapper and the lamb lasagna, followed by the chocolate mud pie dessert. All in all one of the best food and service evenings we have had in a long time. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return and ask for Mattie.

Recent brunch: - The Gatherer Salad was luscious, 4 stars. - The Pimento Cheese fries were very heavy and IMO underdelivered on flavor and texture, 3 stars. - The waffle was perfection, augmented by tart-sweet, deep purple guava and creamy-dreamy goat cheese, 5 stars. - The vibe was comfy with playful touches yet retained a certain bucolic sophistication, 5 stars. - Service was exemplary, carried out with efficiency and charm; thanks for taking such great care of me, Lilia.

We knew this was a popular place, so we were happy to be seated without a reservation after about 5-10 minutes of waiting during prime dinner time (around 6). They had a standing table for us to wait for our table at, close to the bar where we could order drinks and look at the menu before being seated. We ordered some wine and the yearn to burn tequila drink. The drink didn’t burn in a hot sense, but did have a smoky flavor in the frozen drink. The atmosphere was relaxed and modern, yet warm and inviting. With our order of short ribs and then steak frites, the short ribs were superior in texture. The flavors were well executed and dynamic, however, the meat definitely wasn’t a melt in your mouth experience. The truffle fries were bountiful in flavor, yet again, the texture was lacking. Overall, flavors were exquisite, but the textures could’ve been perfected to better elevate the dishes. Finally, our dessert had great texture and flavor for the “pig tails” with a balancing chocolate espresso sauce.

We came to The Ravenous Pig with a large group to celebrate my birthday. We ordered an assortment of items from the dinner menu and everything was quite delicious. There was definitely an upscale aspect to it but, the servings were adequate. We also tried cocktails and beers and we really enjoyed them. Overall, the service was very good. From the moment we called to make the reservation, the staff was friendly and accommodating us. They even printed my name on our menus, making the occasion a little extra special.
