Marlow's Tavern Waterford Lakes Orlando

Marlow's Tavern recently opened their newest restaurant in Waterford Lakes Town Center which is now the third location in Central Florida. I  had the pleasure of attending a media preview with the Central Florida Lady Bloggers group and was impressed with the laid-back atmosphere, fresh food, refreshing cocktails, and warm, genuine hospitality.



The restaurant features plenty of seating for groups of all sizes if you're looking for a relaxing date spot or looking for a place to catch up with friends inside or outside. There are cool, misting fans on the outside patio to keep you cool on those hot summer Florida days/evenings. The tavern opens at 11:30am daily however there are no set closing hours as the owners want you to be able to relax without feeling like you have to rush to finish up.




We sampled a variety of appetizers and signature entrees which featured extremely fresh ingredients as Marlow's Tavern does not have a huge walk-in freezer to ensure that fresh ingredients are brought in daily. My favorites were the Shrimp and crab "nachos," shrimp and grits, grilled chicken stack, and the creme brûlée to finish on a sweet note!
