What Happened to the Wellborn? Inside the Status of Downtown Orlando’s Historic Gem
The craft cocktails menu anchors the venue's reputation. Drink prices generally range from $14 to $18, reflecting premium spirits, house-made botanical syrups, clarified citrus juices, and artisanal ice programs. Signatures lean heavily into refreshing, climate-appropriate flavor profiles, think mezcal shaken with prickly pear and lime, or gin infused with cucumber, elderflower, and fresh mint.
The kitchen runs parallel to the bar, serving an array of small plates and tapas priced between $12 and $24. Standout staples consistently include:
- Crispy Pork Belly Sliders: Glazed in sweet chili soy and topped with a bright, acidic slaw.
- Artisanal Charcuterie Boards: Cured meats, regional cheeses, seasonal preserves, and toasted sourdough.
- Truffle & Herb Pommes Frites: Hand-cut potatoes tossed in white truffle oil, sea salt, and aged parmesan.
- Citrus-Cured Ceviche: Fresh market fish marinated in lime juice with red onion, jalapeño, and crispy plantain chips.
Portions emphasize communal dining. Guests order several items across the table, pairing savory bites with alternating rounds of signature drinks.
