The District Eatery Tap & Barrel

Nice looking place with friendly staff, but supremely average food (based on my attempt). Decided to try the Happy Hour menu because the prices seemed amazing (10oz NY Strip with fries and salad for $16 and a full portion of pappardelle with scallops and cream sauce for $12), however the food was not particularly great. The pasta was chewy and clumped together, and the scallops were oddly shaped little pieces for the most part (there was only 1 of, what I would consider, a full-sized scallop), and the steak was not without its problems too-- was more rare than I asked for, there was lots of silver skin on it, making it hard to eat, and it was poorly seasoned. The salad dressing on the salad was watery and peculiar too, though the fries were good. If I decide to try this place again, I will order from the regular dinner menu to see if the quality of my meal was just subpar because it was Happy Hour.

Five stars across the board in all possible ways. The staff are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is classic Florida relaxed yet with just the right amount of class. We ordered the caesar salad, the beet salad, and the pork chops. Truly one of the best meals we've had in central Florida. Thank you !!

We love to go sit outside and enjoy a beautiful meal. The district NEVER disappoints us. We love to space out our dinners to try a new creme Brule each time. The fluffernutter one in the picture was amazing. The chef here is a gem. Definitely my favorite restaurant in downtown Sanford.
