New American Restaurants near Ocoee, FL

“What can I say, I’ve been here quite a few times. Today was my favorite time ever being here actually. I decided to let whatever server I got, choose everything I ate. And Aurora did not disappoint. I asked her about seafood and she told me why the lobster tacos might be the way to go. She talked about flavor balancing between different menu items and tried to explain to me all the showcasing of the different seafood and how it worked for flavor profiles. I asked her about side dishes to go with it. She told me all the standard side dishes and she saw that I was not over excited by any of the offerings and she suggested maybe the premium truffle ranch potatoes might be what I’m looking for. She was not wrong on any of it. Lobster was cooked to perfection and all of the items placed on that taco belong there. She was right the balance was there. I was surprised when I got the fries. I thought it was going to be drenched and something, but it wasn’t. But I tasted the truffle and the ranch and the sauce and the side was perfect next to those crispy fries. I did not want to jinx myself so I had her decide my dessert unknown to her what I was doing. She chose the pistachio bread pudding. Not something I would ever get. It was delicious. I’m not going to lie. My only complaint is it needs more ice cream because it is so decadent and rich. Just get an extra side dish of more ice cream, you’ll thank me. Aurora you are a great server and I hope RusTeak knows it. Thank you for making tonight epic for me. I am stuffed and happy.“

“Great service and their menu this time of the year is absolutely wonderful. We had really good wine flights, flatbread + appetizers (great salads, crab cake, asparagus soup) then the main meal (wonderful sea bass, loin of lamb and gnocchi). Our server was patient, helpful, had good conversations (brief, not overwhelming), funny and on top of it all with our orders! Great guy!“

“Good service and Nice atmosphere.“

“Everything I have tried has been fantastic. For a small business I can’t believe the quality and value of the many delicious items I have had. Please go check this place out and support a fantastic local business.“

“My husband, Al, and I dined at the Chef's Table on Feb 19 2024 and celebrated my birthday. We ordered from the chef's tasting menu and could not have been more pleased. It was one of the best restaurant meals we have had in a very long time. You see I am a classically trained and award-winning chef in my own right so my standards are quite high and I am, more often than not, disappointed in restaurants, even fine dining establishments. Al started with the "Heartbreaker" Cocktail, which was excellent then he had the mushroom and chive crepe torte for an appetizer, exceptional and enough for 2 to share actually so we brought part of it back to the hotel and had it for lunch the next day. He then chose the Duck confit, also outstanding. For dessert he had the chocolate torte with the toasted marshmallow ice cream and caramel sauce, again, beyond delicious and the ice cream was the best thing i've had in my mouth in a long time. Al also did the wine pairing with his courses. I sampled each pairing and they were perfectly matched. I tried the Mr. Pink as an aperitif and loved every drop but the pink peppercorn's stole the show. Then I started with the foie gras. Every bite just brings you to your knees. This was the main reason we selected The Chef's Table to begin with because I had to have foie gras. I chose the filet for my entree and I must say it may have been one of the best filet's i've ever eaten. Cooked perfectly medium rare with a char that was to die for. I brought part of my filet back to the hotel to go with the torte for lunch the next day. Even warmed up it was delicious. For dessert I had the mission fig bread pudding, which had a fantastic texture and was the perfect level of sweetness. I paired the pecan pie martini with it and it was decadent and complimented the dessert perfectly. I did not opt for the wine pairing as a sip of two from Al's were enough for me. Our server, JJ, was attentive, funny, and generous with her time. The manager came by twice to chat with us. The atmosphere was romantic but not stuffy and we had a great view of the kitchen, which as a chef is simply theatre for me. Lastly, the prices were not stupid. This kind of tasting menu can easily run well over $100 pp without the wine pairing. I appreciate the fact that, while affordable, it was elegant and indulgent. We will never visit Orlando again without returning to The Chef's Table and I will recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you for such an amazing experience. Amanda & Al Fraioli“

“The staff at this location are nothing short of outstanding. I had trouble placing my order at the kiosk initially and Natessia was gracious enough to assist me in placing my order as well as answer questions I had regarding their menu. I cannot overstate the courteous demeanor of the entire staff. 5/5“

“Just wanted to thank Sierra for her service when I come w my friends. She always makes everything easy, suggest different things, and never makes us feel like a burden with complicated orders. This place is very convenient in location and to watch the game and fights. Thank you again, Sierra!“

“We came in for a group gathering. Started at the bar and JB was terrific, very attentive and on top of his game. Once all of our party arrived, we moved to a table. Food is fantastic. We had the guacamole and chips, the cheese curds, the jumbo pretzel, and the onion ring tower. All terrific. I had the BBQ chicken salad, it was great. We had a party of 9 and everyone got something different, nobody was disappointed. I would recommend to anyone.“

“Today was my first time trying this place and I loved it. It was so good nice and healthy food“

“Staff and food was phenomenal I will definitely go back again .“

“The food here was phenomenal!Wife and I had dinner and a few drinks. We started with the ceviche and the blue crab beignets. The beignets were surprisingly wonderful! The ceviche was fantastic as well.We split a fillet which they cut in half for us and cooked it perfectly. The fillet honestly was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. As a side, we had the lobster mac & cheese, which was very delicious with large chunks of lobster.We finished off dinner with a salted caramel brownie, which was to die for.Highly recommend this place for a great night out!“

“Highly recommend for breakfast. Staff was friendly, food was delivered fast, and it was DELICIOUS!“

“Chathams is a wonderful restaurants! The food is delicious and the service was great! I had the rack of lamb. It was the best I’ve fever had. Definitely my fav restaurant!“

“Great food! Looking forward to going back soon.“

“Our server was not knowledgeable of what we were ordering. We had questions about the drinks in the menu and it was like pulling teeth to get an explanation.. we also needed refills on drinks while eating and received our drinks after the bill came Food was great wasnt busy“

“If you’re looking for delicious, perfectly cooked chicken tenders in a quick service restaurant, this place is the ticket. Moist and tasty tenders with a good selection of sauces. Slaw, crinkle-cut fries, Texas toast all very good. Friendly service. The dining room here is small but pleasant. Enjoy!“

“Absolutely Delicious!! I got my turkey smoked this year for Thanksgiving and it was seasoned and smoked to perfection. I highly recommend Boomerang BBQ & Bistro!!“

“The food was great, everything was cooked fresh after we placed our order. Everything you want in terms of a “backyard” style of burger/hotdog.The service was the best I’ve ever experienced, even compared to fine dining. The owner brought the food to our table, constantly checked in to see how everything was, etc. I spotted him picking up random trash and leaves that were on the ground in front of the bass pro exit. He even brought a drink to a random bass pro employee sitting at the picnic benches who didn’t even order anything. I will get something every time I’m here to support his business.“

“Why this restaurant doesnt have a 5 star rating is beyond me! I have been eating here since it opened and the food and staff have always been phenomenal!We ate dinner from The Kitchen two nights during our recent stay, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals! The first night we split the short rib pasta...thank goodness...it was amazing and the portion size filled us both up! The meat was so tender and cooked to perfection! On our last night we stopped in after a full day at the parks with our 4 year old grandson. It was perfect once again! Chicken tender and fries for him, smothered pork chop with glazed carrots and mashed potatoes with a delicious mushroom gravy for me, and the skirt steak with duck fat fingerling potatoes for my husband! Everything was delicious, we had enough leftovers for lunch the next day, and our server, Jake was fantastic! He even brought out a complimentary donut sundae for the birthday boy! Can't wait to stop in for dinner again in April!Kid-friendliness: The servers were great with our grandson! A nice menu for k8ds, and the kids can make their owndinner on certain nights....a pizza or quesadilla!“

“great food, very good and the sevice was excellent!“

“Love Top Golf! Recently visited twice at the Orlando location.Once with the FSI conference and once with my family. Both events were spectacular and really enjoyed our stay. Love that you can use the text feature to reserve and know which bay to go to. Really wish there was a Top Golf locally. Little pricy but worth the afternoon of fun. Service is always top notch and pros walking around are fun to work with too. Food is ok, but we’re not there for the food. We will be back when we travel. Such a good activity for families with teens.“

“SoFresh is such an excellent eatery. The food is always good and the overall quality is excellent. I have utilized them for catering and it is always just as fresh as when you eat in the restaurant. Always look forward to using them for catering.......“

“I love coming to this place and always order lunch or dinner. The prices are a bit expensive for the chicken tenders compared to other places but they taste amazing. The fine and incredible taste of the tenders and fries is amazing and I definitely recommend trying this place out.I only have one complaint, the tables can sometimes be a bit sticky and/or dirty so please check on your tables a bit more often.“

“Amazing Service, and friendly staff..“

“If you’re thinking about trying them DO NOT HESITATE!! GET THEM NOW!! My stars I didn’t think they would be that good but I almost punched my daughter in the face so I could get the last bite! We had the carnitas one and I cant stop thinking about them!!“

“Nice intimate mall-type atmosphere with outdoor eating area. Very nice!“

“I would venture to guess that most folks would be a little scared to come and eat here. It looks run down from the outside, and the inside seems trapped in time. Like, 30-40 years ago. HOWEVER...when you have the best version of a relatively common dish you've ever had (and it's not even close) what can you say? The fajitas were the best I've ever had. The sides were amazing. A little South American style slaw, rice, refried beans (also the best I've ever had) and a small slice of avocado and cheese. From the obviously homemade tortillas to the wonderfully seasoned beef and shrimp to the blow away presentation in a place where I wax expecting anything BUT this...I feel like I've discovered something wonderful - and that's as good a feeling as the delicious food itself. The De Mi Pais mango drink was also divine. Not a brand you are likely to easily find wherever you are, but if you can, do it!“

“Carlos is awesome. Lana was great too but Carlos made sure we were taken care of every night during our confidence stay. I can't say the same for the rest of the staff Drinks were expensive but the ambiance was great for night or with my wife and I was well as a business outing with colleagues. Apps and food were worth the wait“

“Google really needs to have a more refined rating system. Fio. Is more than a 4 but not a 5 - my waiter said they stopped making pasta because the customers did not care for the texture - their loss. Overall, nice dinner w/ jovial service in a well crafted, comfortable space.“

“A nice local restaurant with a great view of lake Fairview with nice staff and good food.To start, you must get the bacon wrapped scallops. In my opinion, they are the best things on the menu.I got the Shrimp Cuban which was good but had a lot of bread compared to the topping amount. I recommend combining the meat into just half the bread. It comes spicy but I added Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce (provided at the table) and the flavor went to a whole new level.Overall, I would recommend it and will be back.“

“Traveling to visit family - looking for a local place and decided to stop at burntwood. What a great choice! They were near wrapping up for the evening but the manager still made time to greet us and spent a couple minutes chatting.We had delicious burgers cooked to perfection. Wish they were nearby- it would be a regular stop“

“I absolutely love this place! From the time my husband and I came through the door we were greeted with a smile and hospitality! We ordered the five and dime! Oh my goodness it was Amazing! And...after our meal the cook Julie, came out and greeted us with such joy! She told us about the grits bowl(which we will try next time). I am telling EVERYONE about This Place!“

“Food was good, solid Mac and cheese you would expect from this style of establishment. It’s not gourmet but I enjoyed the cheeziness of the chicken parm bowl I got. The service was exceptional though and made the experience great. Austin greeted us, walked us through the menu and was patient with our requests. I highly appreciate that we got checked in with during our meal as well, that’s not something you see all the time in this casual setting. Bonus points for the 90’s hits playing in the background, it brought me back to eating Mac and cheese on the couch while watching tv as a kid.“

“We had dinner here on our last night at Royal Pacific. Bula Bar is the pool bar at the property and offers a nice menu and drinks. It's a great atmosphere, during the day, and was pretty darn romantic at night. Check out my pics! We had the Shipwrecked Loaded Nachos with beef and they were gorgeous. Large portion and delicious. Also had the turkey wrap as well as a brew and a Hurricane. Service was quick and friendly as well. An 18% gratuity was added to the bill, so be aware of that. It was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Orlando.“

“When we walked in, we didn't know whether to seat ourselves or wait. There was not one soul at the host stand... Wednesday night.. we sat ourselves & a super cute nice server comes over, black hair, shorts.. and we apologize and tell her we'd never been here & we didn't want to be rude by seating ourselves, but we were standing there looking stupid, lol. She wasn't even our server & she grabbed drinks, got appetizers started& and even food just to tell us she was leaving, but she'd tell the other server... I get a call that we are at the WRONG FROGGERS & we panicked, had the food to go & when I tell you the server so so fast & chill about it all 12/10 ! We ended up eating the food at the other location & my my my my my my GAWDDDDD! my chicken rice bowl was FIRE! I knew it was buss once I saw the cook was a handsome black man! Definitely was a 13/10! Chipotle chicken almost made me slap somebody!Kid-friendliness: Games, lol“

“I've been coming here for years. Servers always try to do their best, though occasionally there aren't enough of them staffed on busy nights. The atmosphere can be a little loud at times and parking can be tough. Food is always good. The great service and strong drinks are what keep me coming back.“

“This restaurant has delish food. The Green Curry Chicken was sublime... Thanks to Chef Jeremy... Wait staff are courteous, friendly, and very patient when I was struggling with so many great choices... Thanks Melita... And finally to the glue that keeps the whole place running smoothly... Thanks to Anna, Hostess extraordinaire... This place is where you want to go for excellent Pan-American food.“
