Reviews of Scratch

We love Scratch! The first time I went there was for a blind date two years ago. We sat at the bar and really loved the bartender who we later found out was one of the owners of the restaurant. We had great food and drinks all night. We always go back to this restaurant for big occasions which include Valentine's Day and our anniversary. We are now engaged and will always hold Scratch near and dear to our hearts. I highly recommend going. The food is always changing--really fresh--and super tasty. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. They always make us feel so special each and every time we are in. Such an cute and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend this place!

I loved this place the minute I walked in! The music makes you want to dance. Ashley was amazing! She is so sweet and attentive! The food is delicious, fresh and creative! This place has an atmosphere that is contagious! Everyone is friendly and happy. The staff is fluid in how they work together.The decor is so eclectic, from the Barbies to the sewing maching in the bathroom on the vintage dresser! If you ever go to Winter Park...go!!!! You won't regret it!!!

This is a MUST visit/eat place. I say "visit" in addition to eat because dining there is an experience. From the eccentric paintings on the wall to the trendy booths and tables, it has a big city feel while also being very comfortable and home-like. The service was incredible! The servers and bartenders were very knowledgeable of the food and wine and what pairs well together. We ended up meeting another couple there for the first time and we decided to share everything. I had the pleasure of sampling nearly everything on the menu and not one thing was lacking. The food is very high caliber. The artistic and creative talent mixed with the overwhelming flavor of each bite will leave you wanting more. While all dishes were incredible, the standouts for me were: The Sweet Corn Risotto, Scallops Ceviche, Pork Belly Adobo, Beef Short Rib, and King Crab and Shrimp Curry. I won't go into details since you can read their menu on their website but every single one of these dishes were out of this world and I felt the portion sizes were perfect for tapas. We also had a bottle of Xiloca Garnacha which went really well with most of the dishes. I can't tell you how highly I recommend this place. 5 stars doesn't do it justice. From the service to the ambiance to the food, this place is the entire package. A true foodie restaurant in Winter Park that doesn't feel pretentious in the least bit. In fact, the Executive Chef/Co-Owner even came out to check on us and asked how the dining experience was going. He was a super nice guy that has a lot of passion for what he's doing there. Trust me...GO THERE! You won't be let down. My wife and I went in hoping for a decent meal and left having one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. This might sound dramatic but we were taken care of so well that it almost felt like we were family. Scratch - two thumbs WAY up. Well done. We look forward to our next visit!

Scratch is awesome! The food is amazing. Great beer and wine selection. We had a few dishes and they were all great. Sweet Corn Risotto was outstanding. The Pork Belly Adobo and Loup de Mer were incredible. Everything we had was perfectly prepared and all the elements of the dishes worked together to make each bite amazing. Steve was our server and he did a great job of making recommendations and explaining in detail all of the dishes. He was very knowledgeable and provided excellent service. We will definitely be back!
