Bar at Funky Monkey in Orlando

Pointe Orlando is a large dining, entertainment, and retail area not quite a mile from the Convention Center where the dive show is held. We usually go there for dinner except for the last night when we often dine at the hotel. It is another of those areas where you have so many choices of restaurants, it can be difficult to decide. The wine bistro Funky Monkey is a regular for us though. Like many bistros, they have a limited menu and they focus on fresh and creative. In reality the chef can be a bit too creative for me, but hubby thoroughly enjoys it and I can find delicious dishes as well. I had perfectly roasted chicken last night with a lovely lemon flavor and hubby did the seafood diablo pasta.

In our stroll back (makes for a pleasant walk) we paused at Marlow’s Tavern and asked a quartet of outside diners their opinion. With a response of “excellent”, we might give that a try tonight. However, there is also a New Orleans-themed place – Lafayette’s – and their menu is appealing. An array of two many restaurants is certainly a nice problem to have.
