Garp & Fuss

The Write-Up

The full story

You enter through a blue door in Winter Park's Hidden Garden, and the glass atrium does the rest; guests call it a hidden gem that feels like a secret even when it is packed. The kitchen leans playful gastropub: The Garp, a spin on a Chicago Italian beef with house giardiniera, the Fig G.O.A.T. Burger, a lobster roll and truffle fries, with an espresso martini to close. It is a cozy dinner date spot, though the atrium can get loud and echoey when the room fills.
