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

    Haven’t been to Bacan in a number of months…still great! Energetic but our evening was nicely paced. Courtney has taken care of us every time we have dined at Bacan and she is awesome. Jay is usually with her and is just as great. They make recommendations and are always spot on! A new member of the team is Landon, part of the leadership team. We know him from his former restaurant in Winter Park and it was good to reconnect with someone who has good customer experience as rule one. The food is so good! A new item is the Serrano ham and cheese croquettes. Wow!! Our second course was the delicious lobster tostada, a favorite. We shared the reimagined pork belly which was very good. The banana flambé finished our evening. Was good to be back. Had a great experience and look forward to our next dining visit.

    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.
