“Ahhhhmazing! The sauce is so fresh you can literally taste the tomatoes. We had italian sausage, pepperoni, sweet peppers with onion. Literally best pizza hands down. Our son got the pepperoni because he doesn't like anything else and finished off 4 pieces. Freshest vegetables and the crust was perfect.”

“This is such a sweet spot with amazing service, servers, chef, you name it. Fernandez is so nice, makes you laugh, had great suggestions. If you want a calm and relaxing environment for Indian food, this is your restaurant. You may need a nap after, the food is beyond filling.”

“Some coworkers and I stopped in for a drink after a company team building event. I have never been here before, but it was such a beautiful spot, and it was nice to see that they had a lounge that you could relax in instead of sitting at the bar or grabbing a table just for drinks. I opted to try their Kabooki espresso martini which was so smooth and delicious. Sometimes espresso martinis can be too bitter or too creamy like a latte instead of a cocktail, but they've nailed the formula here! I also enjoyed some of their plum sake while I was here, but it was gone before I could get a photo haha! I'd love to come back and dine here, as what I saw of their food menu looked appetizing!”

“Stopped in for a quick bite and food was on point. Had my lo mein vegetarian with no hesitation and enjoyed shishito peppers and spring rolls. Steak and kimchi fried rice my wife had was tasty with a nice little kick of heat. Our server, Bishop, had great recommendations and a friendly upbeat attitude! She even thoughtfully subbed my spring roll sauce for the chili sauce to avoid the fish sauce in the usual side that comes with!”

“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.”

“Finally was able to get a reservation lol. Absolutely amazing experience! After coming here, going somewhere else won't ever be the same. Will go back again. Thank you ?”

“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”

“Laura was amazing! We came half hour before closing and we weren’t rushed. The food was amazing, and the service was even better. Laura went above and beyond. Thank you Laura!”

“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."”

“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.”

“Manu was a great server despite us entering in 30 mins before closing. He did not rush us and asked us if we still wanted anything else 10 minutes before they closed. Great attitude and etiquette! Thanks ”

“Una comida deliciosa, atención al cliente perfecta por Estefania quien nos atendió. Recomendamos este restaurante a todos quien como nosotros estamos de visita por Orlando. Comparando precio con calidad y cantidad muy bueno. Le daría 10 estrellas. Además tienen un pequeño espacio para que los niños jueguen.”

“What an experience. We came on a Saturday night at around 730 and only waited 25 min. Parking can be a bit tight and a bit of a wait, but well worth it. Our server was super friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. My husband isn't as adventurous so had the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. We had the vegetable samosas, the chicken momo dumplings, gun powder shrimp and chicken biryani. There's so much more I want to try, will definitely come back. Highly recommend.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Our first time at KAYA will definitely not be our last. We joined the brunch waitlist when it became available online and were seated almost immediately when we arrived at the restaurant. The hostess was very personable and set us up under the shade when we requested it. Our server, Chastity, was very friendly and eager to help us with the menu and continued to be attentive (as well as the other staff) throughout our dining experience.Absolutely everything we ordered was fresh and unique for the Orlando dining scene. It was also presented beautifully. Honey soda - refreshing; pandesal rolls - addicting (seriously, what’s in that butter?); ube salukara rice pancakes - gimme a stack of 10. While the chicken tocilog was great, the bluefish dasilog was top notch and I definitely recommend you order it.So happy we finally checked out this little Filipino oasis. Cannot wait to come back for dinner (with friends). Thank you, KAYA!”

“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”

“First time visiting and I loved it. The food, the atmosphere, the music and the service make it a place to recommend 100%. Special thanks to Elba for the patience and great service, I will definitely be back.Kid-friendliness: It's a good family atmosphere”

“This restaurant can be missed if your driving by and paying attention to the road lol, but you can find parking near-by and walk over with no issues. On our most recent visit, we sat by the bar since reservations were needed for regular seating. I tried 2 different drinks and ordered the truffle bag boys with the impossible burger - the sliders were delicious! The first drink was 'beet the heat' and this tasted kind of like a beet juice smoothy with alcohol and was not for me lol. The second was more my vibe - juicy j which seemed like a twist on the classic daiquiri and did quench my thirst. The bar tender also provided great customer service and had our drinks ready with the quickness. Check this place out!”

“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!”

“Holy heck, the food was amazing. We had the Chef's board, albondigas, and shishito peppers. Everything had great flavor and our server, Vanessa, was very nice and attentive. We will definitely be back!”

“This place is a must seen!… the amazing decoration, service, food, staff make it a great choice!… we live 2 hours away and we definitely will be back again! ”

“Enthusiastic welcome, generous explanations, warm delicious fresh baked pastries, tasty wrap, excellent coffee, clean bathrooms, and the owner, wife and staff offered us good wishes for our stay in Florida. From Nebraska and Idaho friends”

“I would give the experience at Soseki a 4.5/5. The service was impeccable; attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly: 5/5. The atmosphere was a 4.5/5 because I felt the music was a little too loud to converse with my partner at times. I give the food a 4.5/5 because it was locally and internationally sourced showcasing the wonderful and vibrant flavors of Central Florida and Japan; however, during one of the nigiri portions, my partner had a rather large fishbone that got caught in their throat. Otherwise, it was an exquisite experience, of which I commend the chefs and the staff, especially for the detailed seating arrangement I requested. This experience is worth the price of admission.”

“Marcela was the best server ever! Delicious sushi with the Brazilian touch! Wish the presentation was a lil better but I do love their squid sashimi that comes out with some Smokey dry ice!”

“We sat in the bar area, ordered a truffle loaf. You can't miss with that. Huge cocktails selection. Everything was delicious. I went with a friend who is a former chef and still works in the food industry, it is his favorite place in Orlando.Parking: It's a super popular place. When I got there parking was that an absolute minimum and you had to do valet. I drove around the block to find free street parking.”

“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”

“Attentive, quick and kind staff. The magician was witty, engaging and entertaining throughout. 10/10 experience. Visited here with a school trip. I’d love to bring my family here to enjoy the show.”

“So, so yummy! I got the a lil bit of everything with a side of Mac and cheese. So much food! Probably the best grits and fried chicken I've had. The wait wasn't too bad as it goes kinda fast.”
