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

Just to be fair, we've been regular patrons for about a year. We are in love with the ginger salad, shrimp skewers & pork pot stickers (sautéed, not fried). What's more is that these are all on the happy hour menu till 7:00 pm, so it is really affordable. The service is always good, and they have a large deck for outdoor dining. How could we not keep coming back? The only criticism I could have is that it is always cold when the AC is running, so dress warmly!
