Kaleidoscope Thornton Park soft opens in the former home of The Garden Bistro

Soak in the atmosphere and enjoy the beautiful patio at Kaleidoscope in Thornton Park! Whether you’re sipping on craft cocktails or savoring seasonal bites, this is the perfect spot to unwind!

New women owned bar and restaurant, Kaleidoscope Thornton Park has soft opened at 712 E Washington St, Orlando, in the former home of The Garden Bistro.


We first brought you the news back in July that Felicia Vestal, who many will know as the manager of The Veranda across the street in Thornton Park had signed a lease on the property with the intent of creating a neighborhood hang-out with "good music, affordable food and a fun atmosphere."



When Kaleidoscope fully opens it will be open seven days a week, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.


For now, Kaleidoscope Thornton Park is in soft opening now through November 1, with a limited menu of handpicked dishes and a specialty drink menu to give you a taste of what’s to come!



Soft Opening Hours (until November 1):

Monday to Thursday: 5pm - 10pm

Friday & Saturday: 5pm - 12am

Sunday: 1pm - 10pm



Kaleidoscope is all about variety and ever-changing experiences, much like the colorful patterns in an actual kaleidoscope. The theme represents a dynamic and vibrant atmosphere where no two visits are the same.


One of the core elements is the rotating items—the menu regularly changes, offering new food and drink options based on seasons, local ingredients, and customer favorites. Whether it’s a unique cocktail or a special dish, you’ll always discover something fresh and exciting. This concept encourages guests to return, knowing they’ll encounter something different every time, adding to the allure and intrigue of the space.


The full menu and hours will be unveiled soon but come experience the early excitement and be among the first to step inside Kaleidoscope!
