Chefs James and Julie Petrakis's Winter Park restaurant — multiple James Beard semifinalist nominees who anchored Orlando's modern chef-driven dining scene when they opened in 2007. The cooking is precise and ingredient-led, with strong Florida sourcing and a serious cocktail program; the restaurant pioneered the chef-driven gastropub format in Central Florida. Less buzzy than the Disney destination rooms, more about the institutional gravity of one of Orlando's most-watched chef partnerships. For chef-driven modern American dining from the family that helped define modern Orlando food culture.
