The Reverie in Winter Park: a refined American brasserie coming to Hannibal Square

Winter Park’s next destination dinner is taking shape

Winter Park has a new dining name to watch: The Reverie, a refined yet approachable American brasserie opening in historic Hannibal Square later this year. If you like restaurants that feel built for a full evening out — polished, comfortable, and rooted in a real sense of place — this is one to keep on your radar.

The project pairs Chef Brandon McGlamery with the Foundry Group, a combination that points to a dinner spot with intention behind it. The concept lands in the space formerly occupied by Chez Vincent, giving the address a fresh chapter while keeping the neighborhood’s dining energy in focus.

What The Reverie is bringing to Winter Park

The fact sheet keeps the picture tight, and that works in its favor. The Reverie is an American brasserie, which signals a restaurant built around the kind of meal you can stretch into a conversation: a place for composed plates, a steady pace, and the easy back-and-forth that makes dinner feel like an occasion.

That refined-yet-approachable balance matters. In practice, it suggests a spot that can serve both the dress-up dinner and the “let’s make this Tuesday feel special” table. In a neighborhood like Hannibal Square, that kind of room has a natural fit.

Why the location matters

Hannibal Square gives The Reverie immediate character. Winter Park diners know the value of a restaurant that plugs into a walkable, historic setting, and this one arrives with that built in. The move into the former Chez Vincent space also gives the opening a sense of continuity: a familiar corner, now headed in a new direction.

For diners, that usually means an easy mental map. You already know the area, and now there’s a new reason to plan around it.

A chef-and-group partnership to follow

Chef Brandon McGlamery and the Foundry Group are the names attached to The Reverie, and that partnership is the clearest signal of what’s coming. The fact sheet doesn’t spell out a menu, but it does make the concept clear enough to spark anticipation: a brasserie format, a refined approach, and a Winter Park setting that invites destination dining.

That’s the fun part for local food lovers. You get to watch a restaurant take shape before the first plate lands, and you can already picture the kind of evening it wants to host.

Why food lovers should keep an eye on it

The Reverie is arriving with a strong mix of place, concept, and personnel. It’s opening in a historic neighborhood, taking over a recognizable space, and leaning into a style of dining that encourages you to settle in.

For anyone building a list of Winter Park dinners to try next, this is exactly the kind of opening that deserves a spot near the top. It has the bones of a restaurant people will plan around, talk about, and return to when they want dinner to feel a little more considered.

A new brasserie in Hannibal Square is already a compelling thought. With Chef Brandon McGlamery and the Foundry Group behind it, The Reverie is shaping up to be one of Winter Park’s most watched openings later this year.
