The Ravenous Pig Review

A trendy, vibrant gastropub in one of Orlando's most affluent enclaves, the Pig is arguably Orlando's most popular foodie destination. Run by husband-and-wife chefs James and Julie Petrakis, the restaurant dispenses delicacies such as pork porterhouse with heirloom-tomato panzanella, chimichurri verde, and charred scallion vinaigrette, and grilled Canaveral cobia with roasted salsify-and-potato hash, grapefruit nage, and caramelized endive marmalade. The menu changes daily and always includes less expensive pub fare like lobster tacos and homemade pretzels with a taleggio-porter fondue. All charcuterie is made in house, from spiced orange salami to game-bird terrine. The signature dessert is the Pig Tails, essentially a basket full of piping hot, pig tail-shaped doughnuts with a chocolate-espresso dipping sauce.

    The Ravenous Pig Review

    The Ravenous Pig is one very popular place in Orlando. Reservations here shouldn't be "suggested"; they are almost a must. My visit was for lunch and the place filled up within a half hour of opening.

    Parking is available off street in a small lot behind their location. A valet service is offered too. Spaces were also available on the street right in front as well.

    Service was great and the food was also the same as well. Portions were on the large side and some things offered a choice on the size of the serving . . . such as you could order either three or four lobster tacos.

    The only down side was if you like wine, the price of a glass is 1/4 that of the bottle and the pour in nowhere near that. You're best to save your wine drinking for another time and place if you're not interested in purchasing a bottle. But beyond that, if you want great food with a menu that tries and succeeds at being both innovative and tasty, the "Pig" should fill your bill nicely!!!
