“Today we had a delicious and fun lunch at The Madras Cafe. I ordered a Thali lunch special. There was so much food I couldn’t finish! The Chana Masala is delicious. The green bean/onion/pepper curry was delicious. Our server, Fernandes, took great care of us and was happy to explain anything we wanted to know about the different dishes. One of us had a birthday and they brought us a special dessert on the house. We ordered extra food to take home and enjoy later. We are definitely going back.”

“We had the most amazing dining experience for our anniversary!!! Some of the best food in the Orlando area!”

“We had a wonderful dinner at Maxine's on Shine during Magical Dining. Our server, Mara, was attentive and friendly from start to finish. Maxine and Mr. Maxine also stopped by our table to chat, and that personal touch made the evening feel special.

The Passion Star cocktail had a memorable presentation, and it wasn't watered down with ice like so many restaurant drinks are. It tasted the way it should from the first sip to the last.

For appetizers, we shared the nachos and the Smoked Salmon & Avocado Cream with naan toast and mixed greens. Both were fresh and flavorful. For my main course I had the Wagyu Filet of Sirloin Au Poivre, and it was tender and perfectly seasoned, with a peppercorn sauce I'd order again. My dining companion had the lobster ravioli with shrimp and loved every bite. We finished with the red velvet cheesecake and the chocolate mousse, both a great ending.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything, from the food to the service to the atmosphere. Highly recommend, and we'll be back!”

“AMAZING!!! 🔥🔥🤤😋 The food watch top notch! Took my girl for her birthday got a perfect time where we actually got to have a one on one omakase with chef Phillip. Dude was amazing, gave us a history lesson on the meats. So so happy we chose Norigami!! Went to a cocktail bar afterwards and we're taking about the sushi we just had and the bar tender said “ Norigami???” And we looked at each other in amazement!!! 💯💯💯”

“Amazing is the only one word that comes to our minds. The restaurant itself is very modern looking but has that touch of Thai to make us feel at home. And the star of the show besides the great cooks was Pen! She was so awesome and sensor from her greeting at the door to her interactions with my two daughters. Who just thought she was so nice and Awesome. The appearance of the food was amazing when it arrived at our table and the taste was even more amazing. So to Pen and the rest of the awesome staff we wish you guys great success and we WILL see you again next time we’re here thanks:)”

“We had such a great experience last night! We came in for our anniversary dinner and decided to try the Magical Dining menu. The service was amazing from the moment we walked in. Everyone was super attentive, and I loved that all of the servers seemed to help out with every table. Empty plates and glasses were cleared right away and we never felt like we were waiting around for anything.

We had the Old Fashioned and Dirty Martini and both were perfect. Everything we ate was delicious, but the quality of the fish really stood out, it was easily a 10/10. The Wagyu carpaccio was probably one of our favorites and was seriously to die for.

Overall, we had an amazing anniversary dinner and really enjoyed everything we tried. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Passport to Dominican Republic is hereeee omg I felt like I was in my carribean island!!! The food and music took me back! Such a great experience and authentic food!

“We love coming here to eat. Food is excellent”

“Pros
- Food is amazing about as close to sushi in Japan as you’re going to get.
- Matcha S’more is a great way to end the meal.

Cons:
- The time window is a little short. Feels like a 70 minute experience that has to be completed in 60.
- The standing sushi concept is a bit strange. If it’s to try to mimic standing sushi spots in Japan…those are often causal $5-$10 meals in small markets with space for stools/chairs. This is a $100+ dinner in a building that has plenty of space for seats.

Overall though, I’d definitely recommend and come back.”

“We came rolling into Orlando after a long day of traveling! We were all very hungry for some good pizza! V Pizza did not disappoint us! Our 13 year old granddaughter kept saying it was some of the best pizza she'd ever eaten! As previous owners of a pizza restaurant, we thought our pizzas were pretty amazing! The staff was very friendly and eager to serve us. The restaurant was clean and had very modern decor. We will probably go back before returning home!”
