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

    What a great evening! We started out having drinks at the bar (and eating their yummy popcorn!) that were expertly made by Nick. Later we were seated for dinner where we had the good fortune to have Tasha as our server. My wife had a couple of questions about the menu, and it was obvious that she is well-versed in the preparation of the various selections. She was very attentive but not intrusive and really enhanced our experience. Last but not least was Zach, who brought our entrees to our table. Another terrific employee who went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. These three employees are truly an asset to the restaurant, and we look forward to returning when we are back in Orlando next year.
