This classy yet casual neighborhood place serves up inventive food prepared in the open-view kitchen. The U-shaped bar offers an extensive selection of wines and a decent choice of microbrews. Try the freshly cooked sweet-potato chips with warm chili sauce. The chicken tortilla pie is also a local favorite. Friendly crowds, live music (call for days and times), changing art on the walls and patio dining make this one of Winter Park's most inviting hangouts. There's a second location in Thornton Park. Daily for lunch and dinner, plus Saturday and Sunday brunch. $-$$. Most major credit cards. 558 W. New England Ave., Winter Park. Phone 407-629-1150. http://www.dexwine.com.
