“I come here all the time with my friends and always have the best time! The atmosphere, the service, and the vibes always deliver and we loved being served by Santiago! He is the best!”
“It was our first time at Reyes Mezcaleria and it won't be our last. The food was delicious and the decor was beautiful. Chris P., was the best waiter that we've ever had. We highly recommend Reyes Me”
“We are regulars at this place. Weekends are very crowded and parking is always a pain. This place is known for their Chaats (street food from the western part of India) and north Indian food. So their south indian dishes like dosas or uttapams may not be the best. Even Biryanis are not as good as some other local places. But if you are in the mood for Chaats - they are your answer. They are also great for naans, parathas, and asian fusion dishes.”
“Incredible top to bottom. Starters to drinks to desserts. All amazing. Staff was attentive and professional. Great recommendations from wait staff. Highly recommend!!!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Edoboy is my go to place for an amazing and unique sushi dining experience. I have celebrated bachelorettes, birthdays and solo nights here and enough cannot be said for the level of service the chefs and staff offer every single patron. The intimacy of the venue and the limit of the time and size of parties is perfect for this experience. If you want you can enjoy on your own or engage with the parties around you quite easily. The quality and preparation of the sushi is exceptional every time I visit.Try everything on the menu at least once, as I have, it will expand your sushi vocabulary. And if you have any room, do not skip the miso soup and dessert. The matcha s’more is incredible if it is still available. Also, you cannot beat the price for the experience, it’s not cheap at all, but I will dare to say it’s on the level of some Omakase experiences but at a better value.”

“Unreal experience and EASILY the best Brazilian Steakhouse I’ve ever been too. This spot BLOWS AWAY the chains. The selection and quality of meets was 2nd to none. The game changer though was the Pineapple, WOW! I can’t believe I’m posting about Pineapple on a steakhouse page, but it was LEGIT! Keep up the great work and THANK YOU for being one of America’s Best Restaurants”
“Excellent food, super excellent, everything delicious, the attention from Oscar is brutal, the food on the new menu is out of this worldParking: ExcellentWheelchair accessibility: Forks”
“The place was amazing, food was amazing and a special thanks to ma man Hector for his phenomenal service. Good recommendation based on my preferences and overall best service. I will definitely be visiting here again!!”

“Great experience. Plate sizes are smaller, but the flavor was spot on. Hubby had a curry bowl, kids had lo mein, and I had the fried rice. The desert and Vietnamese coffee were to die for. Lovely server who was quite attentive. I will go again. The hostess seemed a bit annoyed, but it didn't take too much from the experience. See you again soon”

“Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Aguardiente, the atmosphere was phenomenal, the food was delicious and the service from Juan and Laura was the best. If you are in Orlando I definitely recommend this restaurant”
“My wife and I have been trying to get here for quite some time, and we were able to get there today. The food did not disappoint at all. Chicken and waffles, crab cakes, and Blanca vegetarian omelette were all cooked well and were very tasty.”
“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."”

“The pizza here was absolutely delicious! We were looking for something with that true Italian style and V Pizza did not disappoint! There was a slight issue with my pizza missing an item and the gentleman at the front who I assume was the manager or owner took care of it right away. I even offered to just take the item and throw it on myself, but the gentleman insisted on making me a fresh pizza the right way. It was amazing and truly satisfied my pizza craving! I wish we lived in the area so we could eat here more often! Thank you V Pizza!”
“When I saw this restaurant on an episode of Diners Drive-Ins and Dives I was really looking forward to coming here and it did not disappoint in any way. The food was as delicious as it was beautifully plated, the ambiance was very welcoming, and the staff were very friendly. Looking forward to my next visit to Orlando Florida so I can dine here again with friends and family.Note: I identified an item in my photo as 'Tator Tot Spring Salad'. It's not an official item, as of the date I visited, however, while dining there they allowed me to create that excitingly delicious dish.”
“Great food, great atmosphere. Okonomiyaki and hamachi crudo were favorites. Chirashi in mashu box was also very good, great tasting fish. Our server Cam was awesome and gave great sake recommendations. Awesome vibe and super friendly atmosphere.”
“The Food: The dinner at Kaya was one of our favorite dining experiences in a long, long time. Wave after wave of meticulously assembled dishes that would rival any 5-star, white tablecloth, squads of chefs with tweezers restaurant arrive at table with the homey casualness of “Hey, look what we made for you.” The flavor profiles are perfect and sublime, and the quality of the unusual, diverse ingredients are amazing and fresh. There was not one missed note in the whole parade of dishes.The Place: The warmth and care of the staff at Kaya is extraordinary. When we opened the door, the hostess smiled the smile of someone happy to see an old friend. Our server was familiar and charming. She explained the complex dishes concisely and with an eagerness that signaled “you are gonna love this!” The whole place is a masterclass in hospitality.The set menu is the way to go. Also, upgrade to the king crab rice.”

“I loved the ambiance. The DJ is really lit, played hits whole time we were there. The wangz is a must try and French indulgence was delicious! My choice of drink was a passion fruit margarita..I highly recommend. Thereservice was a 10/10”
“✨ The best Brazilian Japanese style restaurant ever!!!!! The ambient is just lovely, the staff is amazing and oh my God the food is just fabulous! ON POINT. I would definitely come back and recommend my friends to try too. And indeed ALL YOU CAN IT. Bruna, Gabriel, Michel were great with attending our table. ✨ thanks chefff!!!!!”
“My family and I had a great time here. I love that they serve you the meats, seafood, and ramen to your table. We also enjoyed that there were many options, including rice and chicken wings, at the self serve area buffet style. Lily, our server, was the cherry on top with excellent service and a friendly attitude. We enjoyed our meal.”
“Took my daughter for her 25th birthday. It was funny start to finish. The Wait staff was amazing. They were on top of food and drinks. Pizza was was really good. My whole family enjoyed theshow 4/13. My 13 year old even got to go on stage would definitely go back one day.”

“This is my first time visiting Otto's high dive, and it was for a work meeting. We came into the place and were immediately greeted by the owner, who went over the menu, how everything works, and explained that it was more of a shared plates type of place. There was about 12 of us in our group, so we liked the idea of that! We were quickly seated (even without the full party, which was a plus), and my boss & I had a conversation while we waited for the rest of our party. Prior to my parties arrival, they set up the table with several glasses of water several bottles to pour from silverware and topic size place we thought it was really cool that they provided all the stuff prior to the party getting here so we didn't kinda have to just sit there and wait. Once everyone in the party arrive, we took a minute to look over the menu and decided to try one of their very famous meal options, the Abundancia. Which had a fitting name! This featured several carafes of daiquiris, a four tiered seafood tower, pastelitos, ropa vieja, rice and beans, cuban bread, and flan and tres leches for dessert. There was SO MUCH FOOD! And we had a great time enjoying it. The restaurant was busy, and a little crowded, but that only added to the experience. I'll be back soon!”
“We been seeing this place all over social media and we had to stop by, and I can definitely say it was not a disappointment. The staff were amazing and the broth was 10 out of 10.”
“The place was amazing, food was amazing and a special thanks to ma man Hector for his phenomenal service. Good recommendation based on my preferences and overall best service. I will definitely be visiting here again!!”
“it's casual cafe but love their foods... Starting with papaya salad and Tom Kha, a coconut milk soup that you can add any protein. I like it as it's full flavor but not heavy... Their seasoned fried fish is my favorite too along with fried rice. Grilled squid, sometimes a bit over cooked, so make it chewy...dessert, if you like sticky rice and durian, they have a good one”
“House made, amazing service! We ordered the shaved lamb and chicken skewers and they were mouth watering. We started with a spinach pie as well, a must have. He also has Greek soda, we had the orangeade. It was so refreshing. Going to be craving this restaurant. Will definitely be back.”
“We stopped in for a quick drink and just to check it out. Besides being the old folks we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Stacy was awesome! Very personable and informative. Food was surprisingly super yummy. We had the Parmesan fries…couldn’t eat them fast enough. The brunch menu looked fantastic. We’ll definitely be back to give it a try.”
“We come frequently for Taco Tuesday and haven’t been disappointed! I always get a side of queso because how can you not :) My partner and I will continue to come back.”
“Our experience was great! We arrived 2 hours before our reservation & our lovely hostess sat us right away. We sat outside & the food was amazing. Our waiter Angel was VERY friendly and made our experience that much better!!”
“So yummy and great atmosphere for our large party with outdoor seating! The food was delicious and the service was pretty good considering how big our party was. It took a little long to get our drinks and our food but again, we were a large party. I loved my enchiladas and the chips are so good!”
“Did not stay and eat, just took our tacos next door for dinner and drinks. But, these tacos are always delicious. The guac and queso were so good, I definitely recommend adding them to your order!”
“The food and service were outstanding. The chaufa mixto was exceptional. Our server Ros was super attentive and offered a vegetarian option of the tacu tacu which was awesome. Finally, the portions were generous.”
“Excellent food—creative menu. Outstanding wait staff. Fun to watch the team in the kitchen from our bar perch. No question we’d return next trip to Orlando. If you live here you are lucky! Support your local gourmet!”
“Food is always great and the service is always awesome. But today was better than ever. Christie J served us today and she was just lovely. Hands down the best server! We will be back!”
“☆☆☆☆☆ 5 Stars! What an AWESOME local ice cream place that I just tried today with my family & I highly recommend!! I have lived here for three years and haven't tried this local gem! So happy I invited my parents to come try Joury's! Atmosphere is great, owner is super friendly and informative of all the things on the menu! He made everything look so beautiful like their website photos! Not only was it beautiful, it sure was tastey! Happy to have found our new ice cream spot (and thrilled we don't have to travel 45 minutes like we normally do to get great ice cream). Thank you Joury's for your quality of service and flavors, everything was delicious!!”
“Great food, amazing service as always. I normally come on the weekends for their lunch buffet, but stopped for their lunch special on my lunch break. Chicken Vindaloo and Roti had great flavor. My server, Manali, treated me very well during my visit.”
“I loved the ambiance. The DJ is really lit, played hits whole time we were there. The wangz is a must try and French indulgence was delicious! My choice of drink was a passion fruit margarita..I highly recommend. Thereservice was a 10/10”

“I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone in or around Orlando with a taste for Latin food. My wife found it while planning our trip to Orlando and it’s been the dining highlight of our trip. We started with the Jaleita and some cocktails and split the Parilla Mixta for dinner. Traditional Latin food perfectly cooked yet seasoned with a decidedly unique flavor and style. A perfect spot for a date night or a group dining experience. We finished with espresso and arepitas con queso. Keyla was our server and we were delighted with her service and recommendations. This is a MUST TRY if in the area ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“A time was had at Nami! I had one of the best girls night out that I’ve had in awhile. ✨ From beginning to end, the experience was phenomenal.We started off waiting at the bar and ordered our first set of drinks (the Blush—highly recommended for its smooth delicious taste). The bartender was attentive, funny and kind and unbothered by our cheeriness, which I loved. The vibes were all there. Music wasn’t so high that you couldn’t hear the person next to you, the lights were dimmed, but there was still enough brightness that you could revel in a good selfie and the spaciousness felt just about right because you weren’t on top of others having dinner.When we sat at our table the real fun began. Our waiter, Tyler, was phenomenal. Not only did he answer every single question we had (there were plenty) but he also gave us top notch recommendations that did NOT fail us. Everything we had was absolutely beyond amazing! Hats off to the chef because I’ve never had such mind blowing food and I’m a huge foodie! Tyler also indulged in all of our jokes and made some himself. Love a good waiter with a personality!The sushi was excellent, highly recommend the yellowtail, tuna and salmon. The Nami nuggets were incredibly flavorful! The Tuna Pizza was a DELIGHT. The salmon was soft and juicy and not a single piece was left on my plate. The ribeye had this exquisite taste and the sea bass was so tender. Oof! What a treat. We practically had half the menu and we do not regret a single thing!Dessert was also wonderful and there’s something beautiful about still having room for a sweet treat.Do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Nami because it’s worth the spend. The experience was top notch and I will be recommending it to all of my friends visiting Orlando!”

“The large portions really makes it worth while. Small pasta is enough to share with a family of 3-4 the chicken parmasean was good. I didn't really like the vodka pasta, fettuccine alfredo was okay .I don't have any intention of going back to bucca but it was good.”
“Oh wow. What an AMAZING dining experience, I cannot wait to go back.By far, the best meal of my life!@kadenceorlando is a private dining experience, where there are only 9 guests dining at a time. It's a 2:30hr experience, while the chefs are prepping and cooking directly in front of you while sharing stories and teaching you about each meal they prepare.The fish was fresh, the ambiance pleasant, clean, lux, and all about the food. I loved the plain walls and the crisp bar tables.There is so much more I can say about this place, but it wouldn't be enough, you have to experience it yourself. .”
“Excellent service, Claribel was the one who attended to me and my family and was very attentive to everything we needed, in addition to the very tasty food, recommended ??”
“I'm happy to say this place didn't disappoint! We went on a Thursday night to celebrate my birthday. Upon arrival, they welcomed you at the door and walked you to your seats; everyone was friendly and inviting. The place is gorgeous, spotless, and modern, with a big counter table where we all sat. It was only eight people, which made the experience very intimate.We had the Early Spring menu, and the food was delightful, with an exciting approach to Vietnamese traditional dishes! We don't eat beef, and they were very accommodating! My favorite dishes were the black chicken and Spanish Sole, rich in flavor and with incredible presentation. The menu is well thought out, but on a personal note, I felt it was missing an extra course. In these restaurants, you never expect to leave stuffed, but I also don't wish to go a little hungry, especially when you have an elevated price tag.There is one dish where the chef offers a white truffle “enhancement.” the price isn't disclosed until the end, which is a weird concept. You can always say no, but then you feel missing out on something the chef recommends. I wonder if there is a better approach, like disclosing it when making your reservation or something like that.The wine pairing is top-notch, and I highly recommend it! The music was a little loud, and the playlist was somewhat out of place. There were a few viral songs from TikTok that I didn't expect to hear at a high-end restaurant.I am so excited about this addition to the neighborhood; while there is some room for improvement, this restaurant is good and on the right path to the Michelin star.”
“Must try the omakase it’s to die For. Thank you to the chef and owner for his staff and hospitality. They went above and beyond to make this experience memorable. Thank you guys. Will be back”
“We had a great experience at Amura’s. We did not have a reservation, but they were able to seat us pretty quickly. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. Her recommendations were spot on. The food came to the table in a reasonable time and everything was delicious. I would definitely go back.”
“Girls night out with one of my favorite bff's. This place is a vibe, rustic with a comfortable laid back type atmosphere. Decore is tasteful and the soft lighting is a win. The oysters are very clean and fresh tasting. The drinks are well crafted and quite enjoyable. The bar is welcoming and the environment feels refreshing. Not a cheap date, but you definitely get what you pay for. Overall fire.Perfect for date night/s -n- Meet up with friends.I hear they have an happy hour ! - I'll update when I have the time to catch it : )Must try: Oysters. Muscles. Fried CauliflowerEnjoy !”
“This place is elegant with an awesome vibe. I went for lunch and the food was amazing. The service was speedy and friendly. Their Fillet Wellington is absolutely incredible! This lone visit has made this one of my favorite spots within Orlando, FL.”
“Amazing service during my visit. All the staff members were attentive to details and worried about my well being. Salmon was cooked to perfection but it was missing a bit of flavor.”
“Great spot on Mondays for all day happy hour. The Hollywood roll is very good. Really enjoyed the sauce on the spicy edamame. Definitely going back.3/11/24Back for happy hour on Monday. Great service, good moods and good vibes.”
“Robert and Tom were absolutely amazing. Dinner was wonderful but, the service outshined everything. Robert and Tom were attentive and extremely friendly. We laughed through the entire meal and dessert. The atmosphere was very inviting and even the hostess had jokes when we walked in. All around fantastic experience (first time for 3 of the 5). Highly highly highly recommend!!!!Dietary restrictions: One of our party has a tree nut allergy and they were extremely attentive to her needs”
“My wife and I have been trying to get here for quite some time, and we were able to get there today. The food did not disappoint at all. Chicken and waffles, crab cakes, and Blanca vegetarian omelette were all cooked well and were very tasty.”
“So yummy and great atmosphere for our large party with outdoor seating! The food was delicious and the service was pretty good considering how big our party was. It took a little long to get our drinks and our food but again, we were a large party. I loved my enchiladas and the chips are so good!”

“Constancy is the word. I go to Denny's to get Denny's food and I am never disappointed. It is a good diner breakfast....not a fine dining experience. And it is exactly what I am craving when I go. The people are always super friendly.”
“Confession, we were originally going to the world's largest Macdonald's on International Drive, Florida. We walked in there and walked out again. The Mrs had been wanting to go back to Denny's since our last US trip years ago and we dropped in to the one next door and I'm glad we made that decision. We went in for lunch and it had that proper US diner feel to it and the staff were really friendly and had a chat with us while we ordered. I had the Bourbon Chicken which was really tasty, one of us had a burger, another the Moons over My Hammy and another the taster start menu from memory. All were decent portions and hot and tasty, coffee refills were very welcome too.It was better value I felt and better quality than our original destination and great staff and service. It was pretty busy so had a short wait for the food but only reasonable as it was cooked fresh and well worth the wait.”
“Meghan was a wonderful server! Even my 9 year old son commented on how attentive she was. The food was great and price was great! Also enjoyed the balloon maker guy! Great experience!Kid-friendliness: The guy made balloon characters for our kids.”
“Maybe it's because it's April fools day, but it was no joke; I had the entire place to myself. My food was ready as soon as the words were out of my mouth, hot and delicious. Thank you Ms. Alex for the food and Ms. DeeDee for the excellent service. I'm only in town as a driver, but if I'm back in town, I'll be back.”
“I'm not a frequent reviewer, but we had an unexpectedly great experience when we stopped at this Denny's for a bite to eat.Charisse, who waited on us, was just wonderful. She was welcoming, good-humored, and cared about our experience. She was attentive, but not obtrusive. When the omelette didn't look exactly right in her opinion, she brought us a replacement without being asked. We enjoyed both the original and the replacement (which was even better).We are semi-foodies and picky about these things. My french toast, scrambled eggs and bacon were perfect. My husband's build-your-own omelette, hash browns and toast were also perfect. Charisse and the chef deserve to be recognized for their good work. The chef also did a phenomenal job.Five stars all around, except a minor deduction in atmosphere due to a touch of that funny mop water smell in the vestibule. But once we were inside the main dining room/kitchen area, the restaurant smelled fresh and clean.Vegetarian options: Build-your-own omelette with hash browns and toast”
“Good food and quick. Waitress disappeared after giving the food and needed to ask for someone else to check us out. Overall still a good place and manager was nice.”
“Just what you would expect from waffle House. This one is one of the better ones because it’s always clean and they always have nice people working. The service was very good and my son loves the pork chops and the bacon and egg sandwich. Also, waffle House is his favorite place for scrambled eggs with cheese. I love the grilled chicken because it is so very juicy. The coffee was hot and the soda was strong just like I like it. But definitely recommend.”
“From the moment you step into the restaurant, it’s clean, well decorated, the staff is courteous, food comes on time and does not sit at the kitchen waiting for all the rest to be done. We had Sheila taking our orders, one of the items wasn’t exactly as we ordered and Sheila informed the kitchen and rectified it immediately. Then the manager Sharon came to our table and made sure that everything was ok. All the food was amazing! Kudos to the cook!! But the best of all is the level of professionalism and friendliness! This Denny’s is a must stop spot!”
“Ms. Dee at Waffle House truly made our dining experience unforgettable! Her vibrant personality and infectious energy made every moment enjoyable. Not only did she provide excellent service, but she also added a touch of fun to our meal. We can’t wait to come back and experience her warmth and hospitality again. Thank you, Ms. Dee, for making our visit to Waffle House a memorable one!”
“The waitress was amazing and the food was excellent! She was open to talk and had such good advices about which articles on the menu were the best based on our expectations. Thanks !”
“There's isn't anything I can say here that you don't already know.These are dangerous, very dangerous. I recommend killing a 30 Craver Case and sack of fries there and get a 30 Craver Case to go cause you know you'll be so sad in the morning if you get up and don't have any of those tasty little burgers for breakfast.”
“Whilst holidaying, we attended here most days. Breakfasts are superb and so tasty! Staff, particularly Tasha and Richard, make your stay so welcoming and fun. Thank you!”
“Although Waffle house is not as economical as it used to be, but still I would rate it above its competitors. The food is 9/10 the same and the prices are way better. The service is way faster, but has room for improvement when it comes to waiter/diner end of the business. The only thing that needs to be really improved is billing, you just don’t get what you are billed for. Lol but you still pay”
“The waffles are so good and fresh, I want more. Coffee was fresh too ?Vegetarian options: Waffles, coffee, eggs, bread with butter if you don't want bacon or meat, and grits.”
“Another great experience, Alee was our server and took great care of us. And Mark sets the bar high for customer service in the restaurant industry, one of the best ??”
“The food and service were outstanding. The chaufa mixto was exceptional. Our server Ros was super attentive and offered a vegetarian option of the tacu tacu which was awesome. Finally, the portions were generous.”
“Great food, amazing service as always. I normally come on the weekends for their lunch buffet, but stopped for their lunch special on my lunch break. Chicken Vindaloo and Roti had great flavor. My server, Manali, treated me very well during my visit.”
“The large portions really makes it worth while. Small pasta is enough to share with a family of 3-4 the chicken parmasean was good. I didn't really like the vodka pasta, fettuccine alfredo was okay .I don't have any intention of going back to bucca but it was good.”
Takeout Restaurants
“My family and I had a great time here. I love that they serve you the meats, seafood, and ramen to your table. We also enjoyed that there were many options, including rice and chicken wings, at the self serve area buffet style. Lily, our server, was the cherry on top with excellent service and a friendly attitude. We enjoyed our meal.”
“We went to check out Nexus Pizza yesterday and had an awesome experience! Carlos and his team were amazing — friendly, helpful and generous. The pizza was top-notch, just how brick oven pizza should be. We had a Brooklyn-style cheese & a Fornari’s Sicilian. If you love a thick crust, the Sicilian is where it’s at. The Brooklyn crust is on-point. The toppings were all high-quality and flavorful. Definitely check them out! I know we’ll be back!”
“We moved to Florida from New Jersey and have been searching for good pizza for 2 plus years. Yesterday we drove 30 minutes to try Solorzano’s and it did not disappoint! Not only was the pizza excellent, but we got to meet the owner and he was so friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is very unique. How many restaurants have a pool?! We will definitely be back. Totally worth the drive!”

“We absolutely love coming here, the food & service are amazing but we do have to note something - on top of the music being too loud it is extremely innapropriate. We come as a family with children and the songs are extremely sexual, inappropriate and the wording is obscene.Any chance you dan be mindful of families and little ears? We really want to continue coming but if it’s going to be that uncomfortable, we might have to choose different and we do not want to. We appreciate your understanding.”
“First time trying this restaurant and we had a delightful experience. The flavours were amazing and the cozy ambiance added to the overall enjoyable dining experience. A must-try!”

They are mostly known for their Roast Beef sandwiches. It looked like the 70s inside of there. News articles, photos, and T shirts on the walls.I had the Smoked Turkey Deluxe with Tator Tots and a Root Beer. It was delicious! =DExcellent customer service. I highly recommend it. :-)”

“Haven’t been to Sonny’s BBQ in quite a while since moving to Tennessee. Sure wish we had some Sonny’s there like in the rapidly growing Johnson City. When ever in Florida we always make an attempt to go to Sonny’s for our BBQ fix and we did this time. It was amazing as we remembered!!!! The food was as good as always remembered. And the service provided by our server JEN was out of this world. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING TIME AND MEMORABLE MOMENT JEN PROVIDED FOR US.”

Such an HONEST establishment - THANK YOU. Really great place and delicious food.”

“I have been going to Ocean Prime for many years. The service has always been impeccable, and the food is incredible. Everything is fresh and just enough unique that their menu stands out as one-of-a-kind. The cocktails are the best - so fresh and one of the top 5 in our travels everywhere. Cheers!”
“Fantastic restaurant. We had wonderful service and food. Our table enjoyed the 3 course appetizer of penne with vodka sauce, meatball, and calamari. For dinner we had Caesar salad and veal dishes. For dessert we shared a perfect piece of tiramisu.”
“The service was our favorite part. Luke, the maitre d deserves a raise. He was phenomenal, so friendly and helpful, and the whole staff was understanding of us being late to our reservation (we called and kept them updated). The ambiance is gorgeous. The cocktails were delicious and my favorite food item is a toss up between the hamachi and the spicy kimchi! Very unique and spicy, just the way I like it.”
“We are Next Level Chef fans so we wanted to see what Chef Blais was delivering....it did not disappoint. Very nice setting off in its own building, surrounded by landscaping and natural areas. Service was excellent very friendly and knowledgeable. For Apps we had the Ice Cold Oysters and Pearls, which were very good but the Grouper Ceviche was outstanding. For our entree we ordered the Crispy Skinned Fish for Two. A red snapper served whole, not necessarily my wife's thing but she very much enjoyed it. Large pieces of fish are easy to pick off and move to your plate. The Coconut was a nice dessert to finish the evening”
“The service was excellent, and the bar tender, JC was absolutely phenomenal. I would like to bring him back to Toronto with me.Food was good, but not exceptional.”
“Came here twice now! Tuesdays special is worth it! Reduced price for a dinner for two special. The bone-in Tamahawk steak ? is ? perfectly juicy and savory. The staff is on point and very helpful. Let me taste their variety of salts and steak butters. Went on a first-time date with my new boyfriend and again for my birthday, and both times was a spectacle. Jared was fantastic assisting our take and introducing himself immediately. The female manager was very helpful as well she explained a bit of the restaurant and everything they had to offer to enhance our dining experience. Beautiful ambiance, perfect service, highly recommended for that special day!”
“Had a fabulous evening. Service was excellent. But it was a late booking as there were no earlier tables available - which was disappointing. All the staff were friendly & professional. Would recommend family and friends.”
“This is hands down the best capitol grille location I’ve been to thanks to the manager David an absolutely one of a kind gem of a person . 4 stars are not enough to express how much his dedication, enthusiasm was heartwarming and made our night. He is a blessing and makes this place a must do when in town.”
“I dined here for a business meeting tonight and Kayla went out of her way to serve us with elegance. We were extremely impressed with how swift she was all at the same time delivering an exceptional presentation. The food was delicious to say the least and we will be back to be served by Kayla again!”
“Atmosphere is beautiful with the wood decor throughout the restaurant. The bone in ribeye Pittsburg style medium rare was perfect. The drinks and the apps were great. I would say try the calamari for sure... that was one of the best, perfectly cooked, tasty calamari I've ever had. Service was great and quick for a nice restaurant.”
“Food and service were great. However, the restroom is on the ground floor. Some in our party had to use the restroom and it takes a while to go down to the ground floor then back up. Having a restroom on the 2nd floor will be ideal.”
“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 service from Theo and the group. Not sure who ended up being our last server but he was great as well!! We ordered the dessert wheel for my bday and they brought me a flute of red juice? It was sweet but tasty and I asked if it had alcohol (I don’t really drink) and the server said it was non-alcoholic because he noticed I ordered a Diet Coke and not alcohol. That’s attention to detail! He did offer me champagne after that but like I said, I’m not a drinker.”
“Very nice restaurant, food was very fresh.Priscila served us very well.Amanda and Joice loved the food (I can't say here they are a little...)We will come back for sure.Thanks”
“This place is elegant with an awesome vibe. I went for lunch and the food was amazing. The service was speedy and friendly. Their Fillet Wellington is absolutely incredible! This lone visit has made this one of my favorite spots within Orlando, FL.”

“Excellent place recommended 100% delicious food and if you are a good eater the quantity will not be your problem ? excellent attention from Miss Florinda ? of course we will return”

“First time here and may I say it's Amazing they are a Brazilian van of food .With the most Amazing Fooods and drink.Everything is Nice and Fresh worth the wait.Everyone must come and try it out.”
“I was in attendant of a networking group that was hosted in here. As an army veteran, I have to use army jargon. This placed exceeded my expectations so everything is 5/5. Food is very fresh and delicious. Beverages were top notch. Best chilled tequila I've ever had and I'm not even an alcohol drinker. The networking group was rather large and the staff to care of us like we were VIPs. They didn't even want to accept the tip. Think about this, most restaurants in the US are guilt tripping many of us into giving them tips while the staff in Guacamole Mexican Grill were refusing tips. The more you want to give more with such business ethic. This place is professionally run but it has a personal touch due to how at home the staff and owner makes you feel. The owner was so down to earth and humble that he was even helping his staff. Like the good leaders in the army say, "I would never have my soldiers do anything I'm not willing to do". I love supporting businesses that have incredible products, in this case food. But what I love even more is when the employees are treated well. I'll be a regular and will be bringing clients here for sure.”
“This is a beautiful and neat place with good food, amazing desserts, great coffee and excellent customer service. By the way big shoutout to the whole crew, specially to a young lady, her name is Mariana. She was very attentive and her recommendations were top notch.Definitely going back ??”

Wonderful customer service.”
“Coffe is amazing, service is good and the place is beautiful, food is good and we like it, it is just too expensive. Compare to many places with similar concept, this one is a little overpriced.”
“Very nice people made sure we were takin care of. Me and my family of 7 were treated will kindness and belly full. We are from Houston and this was a perfect place to sit and eat as a family. Thank you daninos restaurant. We will be back when we come in town. Food was perfect”

“Really great food and great sodas as well! The tacos are great but if you are wanting a more large portion go with the bowls. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful!”
“Fresh, organic, well priced baked goods, and a relaxing vibe. This place is great for brunch dates or if you want to just try samples and choose from there. I recommend trying the charcoal coconut bread, it's so lightly sweetened and satisfying to have with hot tea or alone. ❣️?”
“Food is was Great. My burger and fries were made fresh. It was hard to choose from the shakes because they all looked so good. We are from Wisconsin but visit Orlando yearly and this is always on our to do list. Never disappoints.”

I love the atmosphere there is a good space bar, you can eat outside as well, Berria Tacos is a specialty and guacamole is one of the best, I have had in the top 3, easy 2. Good place to take your friends and family especially if they are flying into Orlando, this place is minutes from the airport.”

PAPA LLAMA
“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."”
“Great food, cold beer. We were able to snag a full-service table and had Collier as a server. One of the most polite people we have ran into. Wonderful dude. If you get the chance, it’s worth the visit. Ask for Collier!”
“A different dinning experience that oozed quality from the salads to the mouth watering meats served at your table. It was difficult to say I’ve had enough as there was so much great food. Service was on point with great people on shift. This is a must visit that will not disappoint!”
“Tam was amazing!I recently visited exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor was elegant yet cozy, setting the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable dining experience.The menu offered a wide array of authentic Japanese dishes, each bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. I savored every bite of the sushi, sashimi, and tempura, each dish showcasing the chef's impeccable skills and attention to detail.Thank you!”
“Fun and Delicious. koji was our grill master and was hands down THE BEST we have had anywhere. We ordered the Sumo Sampler with all the meats and seafoods. Well worth the price. Also had a Mexican sushi roll which was excellent. We come to Orlando about 10 times a year and will visit this place again.”
“Always have high requirement of Japanese food, first as an Asian, second Japan is a country with superb standards on everything. I always look for a good Ramen place around Orlando, it isn't so easy, but Jinya is good enough. It isn't cheap but as a chain, it tastes local, similar to some I ate in Japan. My family and I went there last week, surprisingly all foods were up to our standards. * Salmon Avocado, well combination with Soy sauce and wasabi, fresh salmon and avocado too. GREAT * Crispy Chicken, very crisp on outside and juicy inside, just a bit salty for me but fresh made, love it. Not even need to dip in the sauce. Like it. * Takoyaki, can be better but not bad. Love the octopus, soft. Have to finish before it gets cold. GOOD * Tokyo Curry Rice, Soso. Curry sauce from a package, rice was too dry and hard. DISAPPOINTED * Beef Sukiyaki Bowl, I didn't have it, my sister said it's good. * Sprouting Up Ramen, have to try this as their Home Ramen and I had great satifaction. Love them put the crispy Brussels sprouts inside. OK first the soup was at the oily side, but this's the taste of traditional Ramen soup base, so it should be like this, taste was well balanced and in right texture. Love the noodle, not too soft. Pork chashu melted in your mouth. Only criticism was the egg could be softer, yolk running. It may not be the best Ramen I had, but base on a fact of chain restaurant and in Orlando, it's good enough to go again to get the home Japanese taste. BTW, our server was friendly and helpful, love them saying Welcome in Japanese when you walk in the place, keep the tradition from Japan. Overall, if you want Ramen, it's a good place to go in Orlando.”
“The lava bread is excellent with a large appetizer composed of many appetizer dishes. The cabbage rolls are superb! Friendly staff great food and excellent portions.”
“Good service, the menu is very varied, I tried Lomo Saltado and Causa de pollo, both were acceptable, not spectacular. The Chicha Morada was a disappointment, it seemed over the top.”
“Great spot on Mondays for all day happy hour. The Hollywood roll is very good. Really enjoyed the sauce on the spicy edamame. Definitely going back.3/11/24Back for happy hour on Monday. Great service, good moods and good vibes.”
“My first time here and it was amazing! The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable. The buffet has everything you could want to try. I am now in love with Brazilian cuisine”

“Went on 2 occasions within the space of of a few days as the kids enjoyed themselves on the first visit. There were plenty of options for hot pot and barbeque. I only eat seafood and vegetables and was able to get what I wanted. Food looked fresh and tasted fresh. Kids enjoyed being table to pick up their own food and cooking it. We only did hotpot on the first day and 2nd day we tried both options. The hotpot was my favorite. No issues with the barbeque but just preferred the hot pot. Space was clean. Waiter on the first day was ok, waitress on the 2nd day was great.”

“first time here sat at the bar with my daughter Brandon the bartender gave us some absolutely superb recommendations. We probably ordered twice as much as we needed to the food was awesome. The experience was fantastic and highly recommend.”

“I met 3 of my colleagues for lunch at Phở Akaushi Orlando yesterday. The CEO of the restaurant, Isabelle, was so warm and inviting! She introduced herself and made us feel right at home. The restaurant was extremely clean and the decor was inviting. We all ordered Phở that was fresh and tasty. The appetizers were delicious. If you are looking for a lovely evening out, I highly recommend Phở Akaushi where there is great food, and you are treated like family!”
“Taking off one star because needing to tip for an online order before it's done feels a bit off. I get that I could just set the tip to zero, but then there's this worry about getting subpar service like with DoorDash. I trust Naked Cupcake will deliver top-notch service even if the tip will come after service is complete, but it still leaves that uneasy fear.”
“They have the best pollo a la brasa in Orlando for sure and de parrilllada was incredibly delicious, I look forward to going back and trying the rest of their menu, five stars to the hosts Carlos and Johan.”

The Pinery
“Had the bison gnocchi last night & it was amazing! We started with a bunch of appetizers & the charcuterie board was fantastic! Our waiter was amazing & the owner was walking around & chatting with the guests! Will be back.”
“We sat in the patio area to enjoy the cool breeze and the fun music.Our server is friendly, attentive and helpful.I ordered the fish and chips gluten free due to preference and it did not disappoint. It was a big piece of fish and the batter coating was flaky and crunchy. So good!My husband ordered the bangers and mash which he had never had before and he said it was really good. One of his favorite meals on our trip.They also bring you some Irish soda bread while you're waiting for your meal which I didn't have but my husband said it had a hint of sweetness and wasn't dry at all.Dietary restrictions: Ordered the fish and chips gluten free”
“What a great gastronomic experience. We felt we were definitely in one of the Lisbon restaurants, our server Ana went above and beyond to make sure we were good served. I strong recommend.”
“Always A Great Place to enjoy great Italian cuisine. This time around, we went on valentine's day with reservations and we were seated shortly after arriving with no long wait! That's always a plus! The only tiny downfall was that we had to request for our candle to be lit to create that romantic ambiance.”
“Try the NAPOLETANA ARUGULA AND PROSCIUTTO PIZZA. WOW!! DELICIOUS. Schannel thank you for suggesting it. Will surely keep ordering it. Also the bread sticks were so good.?Their dough is made free everyday.”
“This was one of the best sushi restaurants in Orlando! The atmosphere, food, and service were all top notch. We ordered the sushi tower and a few extra rolls; and, they were all FANTASTIC. Their selection of rolls were fantastic and all within reason. A must visit in Baldwin Park!!!”
“The menu changes often and you're sure to find something you'll love each time you visit. Enea was our gracious server and made us feel more like guests than customers. The patio is a great place to gather with friends, but this would also be a great date night for a more romantic evening.”

“All I can say is… chefs kiss. The food is absolutely incredible. It’s a small little restaurant but with enough space to not feel cramped. The food came out hot and fresh and our server was incredibly attentive and explained every dish that came out.”

The Strand
“Excellent food—creative menu. Outstanding wait staff. Fun to watch the team in the kitchen from our bar perch. No question we’d return next trip to Orlando. If you live here you are lucky! Support your local gourmet!”
“Food and service is absolutely amazing. Definitely a great place to visit if you like Turkish food. The general manager unal is very great and has very great customer service.”
“You might be wondering if all these glowing reviews are accurate, and the answer is a resounding YES. I've probably had about 2/3 of their small plate menu and every single thing I've been served is God Tier. I come to Orlando to visit family and the first question I ask is "when are we going to Dragonfly?"”
“Capital did not disappoint. Dry aged NY strip was almost as good as last visit, a little fattier. We noticed the portion of tuna a little smaller but still on point. Service was impeccable. Excellent experience very friendly employees!!!”
“I’m just a delivery driver but you can tell these people really care about the food and products they put out. And a lot of people order from here. Ill definitely try it next time I’m in the area.”

Cítricos
“One of the finest dining opportunities at Disney World. Located in the grand Floridian Resort and Spa, it is an excellent opportunity for an outstanding dining experience.The service and attention to detail are typical Disney (excellent) but it does come at a price. If you’re looking for an inexpensive dining option, this is not it.As with any restaurant at Disney, kids are welcome, however, this is an upscale restaurant that requires the proper dress attire. If you have tired, fussy or rambunctious little ones, I’m not sure this would be the best option.We had an outstanding meal in a wonderful atmosphere as an engagement celebration. I would highly recommend Citricos if you get the opportunity.”
“Just went today for the first time and it was the best experience we have had in a long time at a restaurant. Sarah was a wonderful waitress. She made sure that everything was exactly what we wanted. We can’t wait to go back.”
“I haven't done this dinner for 25 years and took my own kids on our last trip. It was AMAZING! The cast are fantastic and make the show entertaining for kids and adults alike. The food is so yummy. They accommodate our dietary needs and there was plenty for all to enjoy. We will add this to our trips in the future!”

The Whiskey
“Absolutely the BEST burger! The Salty Pear is delish, the sweet potato fries are like dessert and the Whiskey choices are endless. If you like burgers, it’s a MUST try.”
“Been here twice and each meal was the best of my life. Very fancy, and great service. The harpist (yes--there was a harpist!) took requests and learned a song we requested during her break. Now THAT'S service! Love, love, love.”
“Excellent value, menu and service. Food is very flavorful and the portions are massive. I recommend going during happy hour to take advantage of the specials. This restaurant would be part of my regular rotation if they had a location in South Florida. 10/10”
“⚠️ Food Allergy Warning! Do not trust servers that don’t go double check. I have a cabbage allergy and asked if pot stickers were safe for me to eat. I was told yes multiple times, 15m later my server comes back and tells me that one of the two pot stickers has cabbage but the other doesn’t. They could not tell me which one! This is annoying and very dangerous! Other than that love the atmosphere and the fact I don’t have to talk to servers to order food as it’s on conveyer.”

The Monroe
“My recent experience at The Monroe was truly exceptional. From the moment I entered, I was struck by the chic and sophisticated ambiance, which perfectly complemented the modern decor. The restaurant's stylish yet cozy atmosphere set the stage for a memorable dining experience. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, ranging from classic comfort food favorites to innovative culinary creations.”
“The beer here is phenomenal. It's about as close to perfect as beer can possibly get without being brewed in heaven. The vibe is like if Mary Shelley decided to team up with Edgar Allan Poe and they opened a cool pub with excellent soft pretzels. 5/5 stars, highly recommend. Love everything about this brewery.”
“The service was excellent, and the bar tender, JC was absolutely phenomenal. I would like to bring him back to Toronto with me.Food was good, but not exceptional.”
“We are Next Level Chef fans so we wanted to see what Chef Blais was delivering....it did not disappoint. Very nice setting off in its own building, surrounded by landscaping and natural areas. Service was excellent very friendly and knowledgeable. For Apps we had the Ice Cold Oysters and Pearls, which were very good but the Grouper Ceviche was outstanding. For our entree we ordered the Crispy Skinned Fish for Two. A red snapper served whole, not necessarily my wife's thing but she very much enjoyed it. Large pieces of fish are easy to pick off and move to your plate. The Coconut was a nice dessert to finish the evening”
“This restaurant has such a great atmosphere. Every time I eat here it doesn’t disappoint! Today I had the chicken piccata. It was so flavorful and delicious. I sat at the bar and Luis was so attentive and really made it a great experience. I highly recommend this place.”
“My business associates and I ate at the I-Drive location. Everything was great and our waitress, Bree, was excellent. She hustled to make sure our drinks were full, empty plates were cleared and we were happy campers.”
“Came here twice now! Tuesdays special is worth it! Reduced price for a dinner for two special. The bone-in Tamahawk steak ? is ? perfectly juicy and savory. The staff is on point and very helpful. Let me taste their variety of salts and steak butters. Went on a first-time date with my new boyfriend and again for my birthday, and both times was a spectacle. Jared was fantastic assisting our take and introducing himself immediately. The female manager was very helpful as well she explained a bit of the restaurant and everything they had to offer to enhance our dining experience. Beautiful ambiance, perfect service, highly recommended for that special day!”

Kadence
“Oh wow. What an AMAZING dining experience, I cannot wait to go back.By far, the best meal of my life!@kadenceorlando is a private dining experience, where there are only 9 guests dining at a time. It's a 2:30hr experience, while the chefs are prepping and cooking directly in front of you while sharing stories and teaching you about each meal they prepare.The fish was fresh, the ambiance pleasant, clean, lux, and all about the food. I loved the plain walls and the crisp bar tables.There is so much more I can say about this place, but it wouldn't be enough, you have to experience it yourself. .”

“I recommend this place because the food is very good. My favorite are the egg rolls and the fried rice with ribs they are actually pretty delicious and is a good combo ,and the price is not bad compared to other places. The workers are really nice and friendly. Helpful 0 Thanks”
“Food is very good! The buffet is open. They have about 5 meat and 5 vegetarian dishes available, plus a couple of desserts. The buffet is consistently good. And, I just realized they have 3 locations in the area.”
“Tonite when we went 1-31-24 we had the ABSOLUTE BEST WAITRESS, Stephi!! I usually get the same server and bartender and I almost dread going. My normal waitress is always in a bad mood and she is a bit slow even when the place is empty. The one bartender has a nasty mouth and is rude (unless you’re her everyday patron). But tonite I was so surprised by how kind Stephi was. I now have her number and will text to see if she is working before i go in. I will definitely be talking to a manager/owner etc about her! That place needs way more employees like Stephi!”
“It is nice to find a locally run in independent Italian restaurant in the greater Orlando area. The food is well prepared. The service is excellent. I have planned dinners at this restaurant with mini guess and they never disappointed me starters and desserts.”
“Always driven by this place. Decided to try it since a friend recommended it. I liked the selections they had on tap. I also enjoyed the half inside half outside seating they had to offer as it was a beautiful day outside the day I went. Friendly service. The food was pretty good as well. I went with the P.G.C. wasn't let down. Will definitely return in the future.”
“It is the best-tasting Gyro I have eaten in my life. I'm 63 years old and used to live in New York. What does that tell you? Don't hesitate; go and tell them Realtor Anthony sent you!”
“I absolutely love the touchless brunch buffet events at CB Bistro and Jazz Club! The food is always excellent. The ambience is great! George and Monica and are so welcoming to everyone!”
“I've lived in Orlando over 30 years and I've only been to Pete's twice. The ribs are perfect. I've been missing out and just happen to drive by. Extremely tender! This guy knows how to BBQ.Parking: Easy access”
“Came here with the fam, and our table was filled with so much Puertorican flavor!!! We all order 5 different dishes and 3 different appetizers. Wow! So delicious!!! Not to mention their drinks!!! Their natural juices are amazing!!! Their mojitos are to die for!!!!From Food to Service! 100% authentic in flavors and their food presentation is definitely 5 star in my opinion! Everything on their menu can become your favorite dish, lol. The atmosphere was great. The service was on point. Will definitely return.Vegetarian options: Cilantrillo offers rice, beans, mofongo, fried cheese, salads, sorullitos... Vegetarians can definitely eat here as you don't have to add meats to your plates to enjoy a well prepared delicious meal.Parking: Located in a busy plaza with limited parking space.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly environment.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp access.”
“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Chef Setee and his team for their warm hospitality at Le Caramel bakery. Every visit from Tampa to Orlando is incomplete without stopping by this delightful establishment. The aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries never fails to captivate me. Special mention goes to Chef Setee for crafting the most delectable millefeuille, chocolate croissants, and fish rolls.What's more, my children were pleasantly surprised with complimentary cake, which truly made their day. Le Caramel is a gem, offering not just exceptional treats but also a welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back time and again.”
“On March 6, 2024 we arrived in orlando later in evening and was looking for some pizza that would be quick and easy to take back to our hotel room. Looked on google reviews and found Marco's pizza had high reviews so decided to try it. Marco's pizza did not disappoint. Their pizza was fantastic and would highly recommend. A large 2 topping pizza was 21.00.”
“Eighteen (18) friends and past classmates had lunch today at the Castle. Shannon was our server and did an excellent job. The owners had us seated towards the back of the Pub which gave us plenty of room and allowed us to visit with each other without disturbing the rest of their guests. The menu provided a nice variety of choices which we took advantage. After lunch members of our party told me how nice the setting was and the food was excellent. Since I had set up the lunch it was important to hear all the positive comments. Again thanks goes out to the owners, the kitchen and dining staff and Shannon.”

“STK is the best upscale happy hour in Orlando. And they even have it on weekends! Though I wish they still had the bleu cheese bread included, the $3/$6/$9 food options are very tasty and there are a lot of choices and the $9 cocktails are a great value for what they are. As someone who would probably never go at full price, I go 2x a month or so for happy hour.”
“Bao was an amazing chef also was will they had amazing service and not to mention very funny.Kid-friendliness: Both will and bao was very kind to me as I am 11 years old.”
“Environment and Staff very inviting 1st time and definitely not my last . Hubby surprised me for my birthday. Meat Meat and more great cuts of meat. We did the $63.00 deal with the buffet. Cheese bread balls light and fluffy……… drooling over the bread. Definitely a treat crème brûlée to die for!!!!”
“Had a wonderful birthday celebration for our granddaughter. The food, music was outstanding. They even had a special dance for her. Thank you to a terrific staff and food was delicious. Best bangers and mash.”
“I typically don't leave reviews for restaurants but one is needed in this case. We had reservations at 7pm for 2, however was near the area at 5:30 so stopped in. It was hopping. The tasting area was FULL. A lot of activity. No way they would get us in. But they did. We were delighted with the outstanding service of ChristinA+ (absolutely deserves the +). I went with the Alaska Cod which was scrumptious and perfect. Sorry to hear it's going away (If I can get LOUD in my review, DON'T GET RID OF THE ALASKA COD). It's tough to find in Florida and about as close to home as I can get. We re-established our 2-bottle membership after a lengthy year of not having it, all thanks to ChristinA+. A nasty experience in September 2024 via the 2nd floor of the Kansas City location of Cooper's Hawk had us second guessing ever returning. But this warm April evening we gave it a chance during date night in Orlando and couldn't have been more pleased. Please, please, please, provide our thanks to ChristinA+ and the outstanding service and food we experienced at Cooper's Hawk, 4/9/2024. - Nate and Jenn”
“Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Aguardiente, the atmosphere was phenomenal, the food was delicious and the service from Juan and Laura was the best. If you are in Orlando I definitely recommend this restaurant”
“First evening in Orlando to attend a conference... I was staying at the Portofino which is on the Universal property so walked over to city walk to grab a bite to eat for dinner. I sat at the bar and had a Legendary burger and a triple platinum margarita. Both were fine, and a bit spendy but I completely understand that that's what happens when you buy a meal at a theme park.”
“This was a great experience, I loved the aesthetics, the classic 90’s feel, the music was a vibe the people were amazing, food and drinks were great! Shout out to Apollo for being a great host, not only was he welcoming, he really knows his stuff and gave us great advice on food and drink choices. Definitely recommend”
“The strawberry margarita with sugar rum was soo delicious! This place had a great atmosphere for a birthday dinner! We had a party of thirteen and we had some great servers! The table side guacamole was so yummy! Great night with good food and lots of fun!”
“I can only give it 5 stars? What a culinary orgasm! My daughter found this place on TikTok and made me come check it out. I'm a huge food critic, and I cannot remember the last time I had no complaints! Every dish was exceptional and the sauces were made to perfection! The pasta freshly made, the aoili dip for the zucchini fries ridiculously delicious, and the tiramisu and doughnuts WERE TO DIE FOR! And don't get me started on that ginger-nada blueberry drink! OMGGGGG. The last time I fell in love with a restaurant was.....2001! (And I go down the Zagat list!) So, my hat off to the chef, the exceptional staff, and that magical waiter named Manny who made my daughter and I feel so special! Turn up the music as loud as you want! lol I'm coming back!!!”
“I dined here for a business meeting tonight and Kayla went out of her way to serve us with elegance. We were extremely impressed with how swift she was all at the same time delivering an exceptional presentation. The food was delicious to say the least and we will be back to be served by Kayla again!”
“This location is not my FAVORITE location, but for large groups with kids, it's a MUST. It's clean and loud. The staff accommodated our needs for seating. Parking is great!The garlic sirloin was tough and unbeatable...that's my fave :(Spicy picanh was yummy! Bacon wrapped chicken is amazing at this location. Buffet items were great! I get the usual items, including potatoes and lobster bisque. Both were so good. The dessert was not great. The creme brulee was curdled and separated on the bottom. It looked great though. Chocolate cakes seemed to be liked by everyone, though.All in all, it's not the best visit. But not terrible. We will return as our reason for using this restaurant is how well they do with kids.”
“Awesome tapas to enjoy! The cocktail cropping rope was a light refreshment and the best app was Bunuleos de bacalao con alioli de miel (if you like cod fish) and the small portions are worth the favors in taste and price. The staff was wonderful Terrell was helpful with suggestions and Abril was friendly. I will definitely return for more.”
“Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish!! After long day in all four parks both Irving and Marissa took such wonderful care of us even though it was so late. We literally walked in at 11:06pm!! Kudos to them!! 5 Stars 5 Diamonds Catfish was perfect. #bravo”

“האוכל פה משגע מגזים אין עליהםאפיCame here for breakfast on my honeymoon…The Best Israeli Food in the world outside of Israel. Los Angeles and New York doesn’t even come close! Best breakfast Israeli spot I have ever been toService food and vibe five out of five I feel like I’m in yerushalayim.”
“Great place to eat with quality food at affordable prices and the staff are friendly and welcoming. First time eating there and we had a great experience. 5 stars for amazing food and great service! Thank you and we'll be returning soon!”
“Kind of small place. Order at the counter and they bring you the food. Service was fairly quick. They had a lot of really good looking pizzas. We wanted to try a few things so we only got slices but the whole pies looked to be a good size. The pizzas were tasty, nice fresh flavors, crispy crusts. The arancini was a little tasteless, even when I drenched them in sauce. The garlic knots were just ok, could have been a lot more garlicky for my taste, maybe a garlic butter dipping sauce would help? All in all a pretty decent pizza place. I will probably return to try some of their other dishes, and some more slices”
“Great spot! Just opened and already thriving. I wanted to order so many things but settled on tea, dumplings, and some cakes to go. I’ll for sure be back because there were more things I wanted to try! Great atmosphere, kind employees, and customer service. Clean and comfortable spot to stop by for a treat or hang out at a table with your laptop.”
“The service is always very friendly and the food is delicious. There is always parking but when the restaurant gets very busy there is not much space to walk but they also have the app where you can order online. I always find a table to sit down to eat my tuna sandwich with meat empanada or breakfast pizza that I recommend and my dad always orders his hot cheese. Best place to have a good breakfast in my opinion”
“Growing up in Hawaii, you're forced to become a ramen connoisseur and this place did not disappoint. Best ramen we've had living in FL and thank goodness it's in Lake Nona. Great score for us. Amazing service and cool ambiance.”
“What a great new addition to the already crowded KBBQ scene in Central Florida. What sets this place apart is the food itself and the service. First, the food… extremely well marinated and everything was on point from the kimchi pancake to the side dishes and of course, the meats themselves. Second, the service stood out the most. Jason our server was extremely personable, helpful and just overall a good guy. He led us the entire meal providing recommendations and even made sure our meats were never overcooked. This is rare in other KBBQ places these days. The rest of the staff was also great, clearing off dishes immediately and filling our cups as soon as they see it getting low.I think I found my new go-to KBBQ in Orlando! Highly recommend the experience and worth every penny.”
“Had a dinner with three of my friends and the food was really good. Loved the service and promptness of preparing and serving everything we ordered. The food was prepared from scratch and served hot.”
“I went in with a couple friends after a trip. We not only enjoyed the delightful atmosphere, we were entertained by conversation with the staff, and completely enamored with our purchases. I ordered the mango tea with lychee jelly and popping passion fruit boba and the rolled ice cream with Reese’s. Our service person (I know, couldn’t think of the word) suggested caramel on the Reese’s and OH MY GOSH! It was perfection! I will 100% be visiting again when we come through this airport next.”
“Amazing place, good food and amazing customer service, the manager gave us a $20 USD off discount due to an issue at the kitchen that took some extra time to have our breakfasts ready, great for breakfast.”
“What an amazing surprise this place had everything flavors, service, Ambiance, private booths and unique seating options. The ramen was great and the Omurice was as good if not better than some I had in Japan. The kids loved the ramen and everyone left full and satisfied. The bonus was they were so nice and accommodating. Letting us add wishes on the wishing tree and singing happy birthday with a free desert! We will definitely be back!”
“Absolutely LOVE The Bao Spot!!! Service was great, everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food to die for. The drinks delicious. The ambiance is so cool, you forget you are in Downtown Orlando. The decor is funky, you even need a code to get into the restroom (you'll find it on the bottom of your receipt). The place is clean, organized and you can even pick up some merch. The desserts mouth watering!!! You will not regret a trip there...already planning my next one.”
“Just Salad is located in the Waterford Lakes Town Center and is over by the Starbucks (a few doors away from it). Walking in, it is an inviting atmosphere and vibe. It is bright and cheerful and the outgoing nature of the staff also only enhances the experience. They have a good selection and I ended up going with a salad (the word "salad" is after all in the business name) and found it to be a pretty good salad overall and a healthy alternative to lunch at say a fast food burger chain (and definitely more enjoyable). Just Salad started in 2006 in New York City and has since spread to something like eighty locations in multiple states. It is good to see Just Salad get to down here in sun drenched Florida. Overall, I would definitely recommend a visit to this particular Just Salad location. Being in Waterford Lakes Town Center, parking is not really an issue, the service is friendly, the atmosphere fun, bright and upbeat and finally (and most importantly), the food is healthy and delicious.”
“This location is the cleanest JMS I've ever visited. The assembly line/food area was clean and well kept unlike other locations I've seen. The person on the slicer was very conscious about changing his gloves each time as he navigated from the food area to the register. As I was sitting down enjoying my food, I even watched them wipe down and clean the food area after making subs. I was truly impressed with their food safety practices, and felt comfortable consuming my food! The employees were friendly and patient. I didn't feel rushed while I decided what I wanted, and they didn't give off vibes like they were annoyed. I had the gluten free bread which was really good. I enjoyed my sub 100%. I will definitely be back in the near future!”
“Steamed appetizer cold chicken with pepper (numbing peppercorn version below the chili oil version) was among the best I’ve had in Orlando. The hot Sichuan noodle dish was also amazing, it is my preference over the cold version. They use thick chewy, udon like noodles here where I’ve have thin bouncy versions at other restaurants. I would opt to add an Egg or other items on the noodles next time. Will be back to have the duck and chicken gizzards”
“Great experience. Plate sizes are smaller, but the flavor was spot on. Hubby had a curry bowl, kids had lo mein, and I had the fried rice. The desert and Vietnamese coffee were to die for. Lovely server who was quite attentive. I will go again. The hostess seemed a bit annoyed, but it didn't take too much from the experience. See you again soon”
