Back next week!
Thanks so much for your patience during our temporary closure due to Chef’s surgery. We look forward to seeing you all at the Strand very soon. 🤍

01/06/2026

We’ve been a bit quiet over here!

First and foremost, we’d like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year 🎊 a reminder of time passing and the fact that we’re all getting older…

Many of you know our family personally, so it may not come as a surprise that Joe was in need of shoulder surgery. The short explanation is that running our daily operations without him as Chef would be extremely difficult. Over the holiday he was able to have the necessary surgery — recovery is going well and he will start physical therapy soon.

We don’t have a re-opening date quite yet. Of course, we will keep you updated once we have a better idea of when that might be.
b.a.orlando will resume operations on January 9th 🍸 we’re excited to release a new menu for you all to enjoy. In the meantime, you can expect to see some familiar faces there.

Much love and gratitude to you all ❤️

12/22/2025

The Strand & d.b.a. will be taking a break over the holidays. We wish you all a wonderful season with friends and loved ones. See you in 2026! ❤️
