mentioned by 83% of the guests
The food scene here is looking pretty good, with a solid score of 7.4 and customer satisfaction sitting at a respectable 74.5%. Many guests have been delighted by the delicious cocktails, standout starters like the Beef Carpaccio and grilled octopus, and even the truffle fries. With 70 positive remarks out of 94, its clear theres a lot to savor on the menu.

- dishesIt took too long for drinks to arrive. One of the dishes we ordered did not come with the rest of the food, and when it finally did arrive, it was not what the person ordered. The hamburger patty was a frozen patty, which is unacceptable for a lounge with a small to medium-sized menu and for the price.

- FreddyAs a local, it had been some time since my last visit, and I was impressed by the renovation of the lounge bar, which was done really nicely. The service was great, and Freddy was gracious enough to check in on us, ensuring everything was to our liking. He informed us about a music event by the pool, though we didn't have time to attend.

- attention to customersstaff has consistently failed in their attention to customers
- attention to detailThe drinks were okay. I'm not sure I would go back due to the lack of attention to detail and service. Does the rest of the hotel lack attention to detail?
- customer loadMy experience at this restaurant was during a busy period, likely due to events at the nearby Dr Phillips Center. The place was crazy busy, and it's evident they need more employees on show nights to handle the customer load. Despite the high volume, the current employees do their best 👍🏼.

Ambience (8.9 out of 10)
mentioned by 67% of the guests
When it comes to atmosphere, this spot truly shines! With an excellent score of 8.9 and an impressive customer satisfaction of 94.8%, its clear guests adore the vibe. Many rave about the "cozy yet elevated space, " the captivating "grand piano" with "live entertainment, " and the "classy elegant design" that creates a beautiful setting, based on 55 positive remarks out of 58 total.
However, a couple of guests did note that the ambience can sometimes be a bit challenging. There were 2 observations about the place feeling "crowded" and having limited "seating" during peak times. Its something to keep in mind if you're looking for a more secluded experience, but these are minor points compared to the overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Value (3.9 out of 10)
mentioned by 17% of the guests
While there are only 2 positive remarks out of 11 total, a few guests did find the price to be reasonable, particularly noting the price per person. It seems a small segment of diners felt they got their moneys worth, offering a glimmer of hope. However, the overall picture for value is quite challenging, with a score of just 3.9, placing it in the poor to average range, and customer satisfaction at a very low 18.2%.
Many of the 8 negative opinions highlight issues with the price being overpriced, unexpected bill situation surprises, and a 20% gratuity charge that left a sour taste. Its clear that many feel the cost doesn't align with the experience.

How are the prices at Bosendorfer Lounge?
You’re looking at roughly $52 per person – reported by 29 diners. That puts it in the $51–$60 category. For a Bar & Pub, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
Interestingly, while the average is $52, the actual spending is quite spread out. We see a good number of guests spending in the $31–$40 range, but also a significant portion opting for a more premium experience, spending $91–$100 or even above $101.
Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 29 reviews.
How this spot’s value stacks up against similar places in Orlando.
Considering the average spend and the variety in what people are paying, wed say the pricing feels quite fair for a Bar & Pub in Orlando. It seems to offer options for a comfortable mid-range outing, but also allows for a more premium experience if youre looking to splurge a little. We recommend checking the menu to see if it aligns with your budget and expectations for a Bar & Pub experience.

Strong Drinks, Limited Options
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. While the atmosphere was enjoyable (rated 4/4), the after dinner drinks were a significant letdown. I was expecting more variety, such as Frangelico, Disaronno, or Chambord – something sweet.
Instead, I received a "matcho drink" that unfortunately caused a stomachache. The service received a rating of 3/3, and there was no wait time.

Amazing Spot for a Quick Drink
My experience was a late-night bar trip where I tried "The Bees Knees" cocktail and Monkey 47 gin for the first time. The drinks were quality in look and quantity in alcohol. Overall, it's an amazing spot for a quick drink stop, offering quick and friendly service with elegant artistic views.

Beautiful Bar with Great Atmosphere and Food
My experience at this beautiful bar was wonderful. The atmosphere was incredible, enhanced by a live piano player. While the menu was a little pricey for what you get, the quality of the food was incredible.
I also really appreciated that they offered non-alcoholic alternatives for many of their cocktails. We will definitely go back.
