Whisper Creek Farm: The Kitchen

I was going back and forth between the Michelin recommended restaurants (Primo & Knife & Spoon) located at the Grande Lakes Resorts. But I landed on their sister restaurant Whisper Creek Farm: The Kitchen, which is housed at the JW Marriott.WCFTK provides a farm-to-table experience with local and sustainable products. The onsite Whisper Creek Farm is home to chickens and a 7,000 square foot fruit and vegetable garden. WCFTK has a modern style with dard woods and televisions throughout. There is also ample patio seating. Customer service was solid. The food and beverage arrived within an appropriate time frame.What I Ordered:Peach Cobbler MoonshineCrispy Brussel Sprouts Lettuce WrapsThe Peach Cobbler Moonshine was one of the best moonshines I have had. It tasted like a peach dessert and the slice of peach at the bottom of the beverage was a treat. The Brussel Sprouts were memorable. I loved the buffalo lime vinaigrette and mojo emulsion. The candied pecans added a great crunch. If I could change one thing, it would be for slightly crispier sprouts.I really wanted to like Lettuce Wraps, especially given their presentation on a board and the playfulness of the meal. I liked the pickles, peppers, and the crispness of the cucumber. However, the pickled squash lacked acid and the coffee-rubbed short rib salt. While I appreciated the herbaceous quality of the chermoula, the turmeric overpowered the green mango. I am hoping to return to Orlando sooner than later. The flatbreads, especially the Marg-a-roni, looked tasty.

Loved everything we teied there, also atmosphere and staffs were friendly with kids and able to accommodate which we always appreciate

Was very busy so our initial wait was about 45 minutes. But my girl friend and I each order a drinks, and waited out in the front lobby with our boys until seatedWe were sat at a table that had a level issue, and he without a word, went to fix the issue for us. So it would bother us for the evening, which we all greatly appreciated. When asked he gave his personal opinion on the dishes based on what he felt we might like the most and why. Which helped selecting a lot easier, since it was based on what he's tried, plus what other guests had tried and liked or didn't like.Appetizers:Birria tacosSlidersMain course:Pork chopBrisketCatch of the day (Red Snapper)Steak potsDessert:Florida Strawberry tartThe Mighty Peanut Chocolate PieOverall: Food was absolutely delicious and service was spectacular. Our waiter was extremely friendly, was helpful and gave his honest opinion and went above and beyond for us.We really wish we remembered our waiters name from that night, because serious kudos to him.

Came to the JW to visit the winter wonderland event they had going on. I wanted dessert so we came into whisper creek. The restaurant was full so I had ordered dessert to go and was going to eat it in the lobby. The outside dining was open but no one was really out there so we ended up sitting outside by the fire pit. We ordered a cucumber mint sorbet. It was delicious and refreshing. I really enjoyed it. The waiter that helped us was nice and accommodating. I would like to come back and try the food menu.

We were staying in Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, and we found this as we walked around the property. Pretty nice place for quick food and nice ambience.

Was here with family at the JW for the night and was brave enough to come during the holiday season. The hotel staff was swamped but the restaurant still knocked it out of the park. Waited for over an hour to be sat but was well worth the wait. We started with the chicken lollipops and the pimento dip that hit the spot. The chicken lollipops were smoked and super tender. For mains we had brisket and a steak dish with a delicious home made sauce. For dessert we shared a chocolate dish. All of the desserts sounded great and the drinks were made well. Service a++

Considering this is a restaurant inside a hotel the food is incredibly reasonably priced and an exceptional quality. Service is slow and minimally attentive but if you tell them you're in a rush they work to accommodate your timeline. The space itself is trendy and not overly crowded. A combination of high and low top as well as bar seating. I highly recommend the sweet potato bread. 5 star location, 4 star food, and 3 stars for the service.

Their banana pudding is magical. Their burgers deserve all the rave reviews. Ambience is lovely. Service was fantastic. We subbed their chips for tater tots and wondered if they made them from scratch bc they were that good. You can tell all of the ingredients are fresh and come from their farm.

New, updated 2023 review! Whilecovid got in the way and kept us away from the JW... we're baaaack! We had another great meal at WCF and this time it was Sharon behind the bar that made our dinner special. We enjoyed our appetizers and salad and just had such a great time. The food and service was amazing !! Thank you Sharon for making our night so wonderful. We hope to be back again soon. Cheers!

Whisper Creek Farm: The Kitchen is a great option for some locally sourced American comfort food. It is a true farm-to-table experience with Whisper Creek Farm located on the 6th hole at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club at the southernmost edge of the resort. The farm grows many different vegetables and fruit that are featured in restaurant dishes and beverages throughout Grande Lakes Orlando. You could really tell how fresh the ingredients were! We were able to try various items that were all flavorful and delicious, but our favorites had to be the Smashed Beef Sliders, Brussel Tassel, and Tamarind Glazed Skirt Steak.The host greeted us warmly, and our server was also very knowledgeable and friendly. I hate that I can't remember her name. As an added bonus, we were able to experience #GLOSummer in honor of Grande Lakes Orlando's 20th anniversary. We loved the spectacular fireworks display! We had such a fun evening, and we're hopeful that we will be able to go back soon!
