A Modern Approach to Southern-Inspired CuisineAside from the classic cocktail, a highball is a train conductor’s signal to depart at full speed. It was how Central Florida’s abundant harvests moved from field to table, an iconic symbol of the region’s agricultural might. Highball & Harvest (H&H) pays homage to this legacy, with menus laden with ingredients from local farms, as well as our own green-growing efforts. We pluck fresh produce from our on-site 7,000- square-foot garden at Whisper Creek Farm. Handcrafted cocktails are infused with seasonal fruits and herbs, and create a culinary adventure that is as inspiring as it is memorable.Valet parking is available and will be validated in the restaurant

    It was a great restaurant experience the red snapper I had was very very, very fresh sides were perfect the green beans with almonds were fantastic. The double cup espresso was great but they should get raw sugar instead of the processed sugars for artificial sweeteners. The first time I had dessert. The black forest cheesecake was to die for couldn't even finish it. It was so good can't wait till next year when I come back.

    Wonderful evening with service by George. On his recommendation, my wife and I shared the meatball appetizer which was wonderful. We then shared the lobster pasta which was also exquisite. Finished it off with the cannoli dessert. Best we’ve ever had. All great!

    Everything was soooo delicious! We ordered the mussels, the vegan rice cakes, chicken wings, and the bok choy for starters and everything was amazing! Entrées included the lobster, lamb, and the beef stew as well as the vegan noodles. I had a couple of picky eaters with me and they loved everything!
