The dark toned large format floor tile creates a feel of suspension in air. Stark white leather chairs, with high back banquettes and booths sets the perfect backdrop for your Instagram pictures. The warm grey wall tone extends a soft supple invite with the pink tones giving an under eye provocative blink. Because before you blink, the “in” crowd of Orlando will flock and swarm this place and you will not be able to see anything. Bam! Did I get your attention now? Take a good long look at this sexy, swanky, cool, modern, hip, contemporary space. If your are going north on Maguire take the last right turn before Colonial. Parking is in front, to the side and at the back.

If you were to drive from Downtown Orlando towards Fashion Square Mall on Colonial Dr., go pass the Maguire Rd light and turn right at second building.

Opposite the Sears Auto Care at Fashion Square mall is a non descript strip mall. Meet Chef Henry Moso (the inked one pictured below) and his team, who are about to defy conventional thinking and start a revival. So people still trek out to that section of town. Or is there? Enter the Orlando Food Truck Bazaar, which draws a sold out crowd everytime they park behind the mall. With the Navy base closure and Baldwin Park taking it’s place as a multi use development there really isn’t enough traffic to substantiate the other businesses. Most of these businesses depended heavily on the Navy Base. The very first lesson in hospitality school is “Choose the right location.” So what happens to the other less than stellar locations? The growth of Baldwin Park behind Orlando’s Fashion Square Mall, has swung a double edge sword on local businesses in the area. Almost every business and restaurant guru will automatically preach location, location, location.
