“Our experience at Kres Chophouse was exceptional.Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and professional.The food was amazing. Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals.What really made this such a unique and enjoyable experience was the ability to enjoy a fabulous meal with my vegan daughter. I cannot think of another restaurant that has such amazing offerings for both "Vegans and Carnivores".Typically when dining together one of us has to compromise. Most restaurants have limited vegan offerings. Vegan restaurants almost never have things non-vegans truly enjoy. Kres has found the secret sauce to combine both, a truly world class steak house and vegan restaurant in one.My only complaint is that I do not live in Orlando. (Now, I have another reason to visit my daughter.)Please open a restaurant in South Florida soon!“
“4/2024 Saun, thank you for your patience. We came in because we thought our insurance issue was resolved before corning in.Season's 52 on Sand Lake Rd has been areally nice place ever since they opened (meaning that I believe that the establishment still has a really nice work ethic and dedication to the clientele). They recently changed the happy hour rules, you only get the happy hour prices in the bar. If you never been, stay. Since we're locals... 6 of us will cram in a booth or go to one of the many nearby restaurants.Vegetarian options: S52 has options.“
“We ate at Mares Real Peruvian Cuisine in Orlando. An excellent experience, the food really spectacular and delicious. We had the honor of being served by Grace, who helped us with her beautiful service to choose dishes and make our experience truly unique and excellent!! Congratulations and don't miss the opportunity to visit them and eat delicious food.“
“My wife and I tried this place for the first time it was so delicious! We ordered the dim sum (black truffle siu mai, steamed pork ribs, abalone shrimp and pork, soup Dumpling, and the seafood soup) and oolong tea. also Erni was our server and he was great, friendly, and attentive to our request for condiments and ect. We recommend this place to everyone.“
“Wow Let me just say this after so many times that I wanted to stop by but never actually made it always change my mind .but today I’m glad I made the right decision to come in from the entrance the hostess greeting you inside and the way they make you feel One of the best Experience I’ve seen so far I Was sitting at the bar The Bartender Sarah she was very nice And very helpful with the items on the menu I started tuna tartar Appetizer Then with the medium rare ribeye With crème brûlée omg so good If you are in the Orlando area, I definitely would recommend this spot By the way Not to forget about the live Jazz band that gave a little extra tuch !! Definitely will be back again 10/10“
“We were in the evening, the music was a bit loud - but it was a part of the atmosphere. The page is unique with the paintings and the decor. The food was tasty and non-standard (well, like tapas should be). "Main" courses, even though tapas, were rather big. The service was pleasant.“
“We celebrated my husband’s 40th birthday here for brunch on a Sunday. The staff were amazing and very accommodating. We had a large party of 16 and they didn’t miss a beat. The drinks were fantastic and the food excellent. Everyone had a great time ! I highly recommend for any celebration !“

“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."“
“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!“
“Omg is all I’ve got to say. The food is amazing. Imelda our server is amazing. The meal to go for $10 is going to be amazing and the Tuscan breadstick tower is amazing. The Johnny trio was so good and flavourful. The steak was cooked to perfection, the chicken was so flavourful My first time to Orlando and if I ever come back I will be coming to eat here again.“
“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.“
Seafood • $$
“The coconut-flavored shrimp balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a faint coconut aroma and a unique taste. We also bought a seafood platter, which was satisfying with all kinds of seafood and snacks. This is a feast for seafood lovers and deserves five stars!“
“From the moment we stepped inside the doors we knew we were in for a real treat. From the first greeting to farewell, the entire staff was so kind, friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Never having to wave down, or look for “our” waiter, as the entire staff worked as a team. We enjoyed our meal experience so much, we are coming back for our last meal before returning home so that we may experience more items from the menu.“
“I really like and I’ll return every time I came back to Orlando area.We ordered:- garlic shrimp ✅- caldo verde ✅- Bacalhau a Bras ✅- Carne de Porco a Alentejana ✅- Bitoque ( personally didn’t like this one to much because for me a bitoque is made with “febra”, and they did with steak)- Sangria was just ok- chocolate mousse ✅- Serradura ✅“
“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!!!“
“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!!!“
“A story of a picky husband and a particular wife! Long story short we are in town celebrating both my husband’s birthday and our anniversary. We were trying to find a last minute place to eat - this was near our hotel.The food was fresh, the bread was warm and good. Everything came out hot & quickly. Portions sharable and enough to have left overs!Our waitress Lisselys was absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive, sweet and gave us recommendations. Simply spectacular.“
“Really great experience eating at Las Patronas on a Tuesday evening! Danielle was our server and expertly guided us through the specialties. The chips and salsa are homemade and had a unique delicate flavor. We had the homemade guacamole which was fresh and better than any we’ve had at the chain restaurants. The Las Patronas specialty was like fajitas with melted cheese and a mix of meats - again unique and superb! My wife had a margarita that was homemade and without the chemical taste of a mix that she said was one of the best she’s ever had, thanks Danielle!It is located in the corner of a strip mall and is hard to see at night, but I’m really glad we kept looking (thanks Google maps). We will definitely return and bring the rest of our family.“
“What a great experience! Such a good restaurant to get some good Italian food and drinks. The waiters are awesome and super friendly. The food was amazing. I had the mezzulana ravioli...yum yum! Will definitely return. The prices are also decent. Lots of choices on the menu. Place is clean and they serve the food quickly..10/10“
“My mother here for her birthday. We had the best experience. The food was phenomenal. The drinks were spectacular our server Matt was knowledgeable, professional, kind And attentive. We will definitely be back and bringing more friends. Cheers.“
“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“
“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!“
“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.“
“Food tasted great but the staff didn't give us all the stuff we needed up front we had to ask for it. Then at the very end the in house photographer wanted to take pictures of us with empty plates and drinks. Timing should be worked on.“
“I stopped here while in town visiting a friend. I was unsure of what to get, but my incredible serve Sofia walked me through the menu and all of her recommendations were absolutely fantastic. The food and service were top-notch, I look forward to my visit!“
“From the moment upon arriving service was very friendly and hospitable and atmosphere was inviting. The food was AMAZING.....I thought I Drive and Semoran was the only place to go....it was raining and it was worth the detour! Will definitely go again!“
“We had a very good experience! My daughter is allergic to selfish, but we came with a group. We called prior to visiting and were misinformed about accommodations. However, the manager, Steve was EXTREMELY accommodating and went the extra mile to ensure my child’s safety. The service was outstanding and the food was tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant!“
“3/3/24: Came to dine in with my two little foodies. I have to give them five stars rating.1. Superb customer service! My little man fell asleep in my arm the whole time. The server was so sweet. She tried to communicate to me in Chinese but I didn't understand a word she said. ? But she gestured to help me serve the hot food into the bowls and dishes for my daughter and me since my little man was in a deep sleep in my arms.2. I recommend the Beef Chow Fun with extra wide rice flat noodle stir fry with very tender beef. I requested no bean sprout and the kids love it.3. I recommend the há cảo. It has thin skin and well seasoned shrimp filling. Not too salty like some place makes it.4. I love the Eight Treasures clay pot. It has 8 proteins including tender chicken breast, beef, shrimp, scallop, calamari, cubed fried soft tofu, and shittake mushrooms with a brown flavorful sauce.5. I also recommend the Crab and Fishmaw Soup.9/3/22: I came for lunch with a party of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids). My friend from Melbourne wanted to try this restaurant.Pros:1. Friendly superb customer service2. Clean and cozy interior design and layout3. Highly recommend the Stir Fry Water Spinach and Clams with Black Bean SauceWe ordered the following:Dim sum items: Fried shrimp balls - our two families of three generations all thought the fried shrimp balls were on the salty side of the scale. The other items were okay, nothing stands out. Both families prefer Ha Long Bay dim sum over this place. My kids love hac cao but they didn't like this version here. Shrimp paste is on the salty side.Stir fry water spinach - the grownups all enjoyed and recommend this dish.Stir fry flat noodle with beef - It was okay, the sauce didn't stand out, has a strong soy sauce flavor. Noodle was cooked just right for the kids to enjoy.Lobster with ginger scallion sauce - lobster meat was very airy and light. Just not the season for good meaty lobster. Kirin's Court in Plano, TX still makes it a lot better for me.Clams with Black Bean Sauce - Clams tasted fresh and the sauce has a well balance taste of sweetness and saltiness. All the adults love it! I highly recommend this if you like clams. I wanted to take the leftover sauce home but my friend's dad ate it all with steamed rice. Hahaha!Overall, it's a restaurant worth trying.Kid-friendliness: They have the typical kid-friendly dim sum items.“
“I'll get to the good stuff first. My good friend and I went on Friday because we both love Seafood and we heard about the Current. My friend had the fish and chips, which came with fries and an embarrassingly small cup of slaw. It wasn't even a cup. It was one of those very small condiment cups they put by the ketchup pumps at some restaurants, why bother? Having said that the fish and chips were excellent fish was flaky excellently done. The breading was not overwhelming. The flavor was fantastic. The fries were very good. They were hot fresh. He also ordered an order of hush puppies. These were very good but appeared to be a frozen product. I ordered Connecticut lobster roll. And I have to say the bread was very good nicely toasted with a buttery bun. However, the lobster was good except for the claw meat. It appeared to be a little bit overdone and extremely tough. For $29 that lobster roll should get me excited. Unfortunately it did not. The lobster roll also came with fries which were good and fresh all in all the food was very good. As far as the restaurant decor is non existent. I don't understand why restaurants these days insist on using those stupid uncomfortable unwieldy metal chairs. This restaurant would definitely be up a notch or two if it had some nice booths along each of the side walls and some nice tables and chairs in the center there is plenty of room to have decent furniture. But it seems that so many new restaurants now think they have to have high top and low top tables with these very very uncomfortable metal chairs. as far as the outdoor seating, it was nice, but instead of using tables and chairs, they use picnic tables. If I'm going to order a $29 lobster roll, I'd like to set comfortably and eat it. All in all quality of the food at this restaurant was very good, the atmosphere not so much.“
“This was our first time at Bahama Breeze and our family had a great experience!! Our server helped out with our requests and each of our kids got exactly what they ordered. The restaurant wasn’t too hot or too cold so we were able to wait for our meals without shivering or sweating. Our kids love the burgers, coconut shrimp, and Cuban sandwiches. Overall great experience for mom and dad and five kids!Kid-friendliness: Our kids aren’t picky eaters, but the have likes and dislikes. Our server brought out several sauce and salad dressing options and put in a request to the kitchen that all the burgers come separately from the toppings. The aioli sauce that came with the coconut shrimp tacos was so good, our oldest son needed another dish of sauce. Our server, Camelia, made our lunch the best ever!“
“We had such an experience, the management team was so amazing, they have made us felt so welcomed and special and went above and beyond, totally going back. I want to give a special shout out to my girl Demetra Yacalis, her hospitality is so amazing, it was like we were home, we were celebrating my friends birthday, they gave us champagne on the house, we really enjoyed our time there. Honestly we will be going back for our special celebrations, Demetra sweet heart thank you so much again, you are a super star and deserve a raise ?.“
“Food is amazing every time we come here! It’s in avalon if you are ever in the area and if not it’s definitely worth the trip! Jerk chicken bowl, jerk chicken & jerk ribs combo with rice and beans with sweet plantains and loaded tostones everything was TO DIE FOR ? guava cheesecake A-mazing !?? as well as their home made habanero pepper sauce“
“We had an awesome time here. First time visiting and will definitely be back. Food is AMAZING!! Winston was our server and he quickly became part of our family .laughing and joking with us. Very professional! If you're looking for authentic Italian in the Orlando area .this is the “
“The service in this restaurant is very good, the ladies who serve are very friendly, attentive to the tables, the food is delicious, we ate a delicious mixed chaufa rice, on other occasions we have eaten ceviche and sautéed loin as well, super deli, Ariadna The person who attended is very friendly, attentive all the time.“
“After looking for 10 years, we finally found an Authentic Mexican Restaurant. I had the octopus & shrimp ceviche, it was fresh, tasty & pure perfection. My husband had the combo with a taco & tamales, the tamales reminded me of California. My brother had a huge carnitas burrito, he ate every morsel. Most would’ve eaten half. Next the house Margaritas I had 2! & to top it off we had the churros to end the meal. In short, go there, you will not be disappointed.“
“Great food but very expensive so be prepared to spend $100+ for a table of 4. The cinnamon french toast was absolutely amazing! In fact, it was the best french toast I’ve ever had and I will continue to dream about it for years to come! We felt rushed by the server to order our food when we were seeing a family member that we don’t see often and were trying to take a moment to catch up and I didn’t get my mimosa for nearly 30 minutes after I ordered it but other than that everything else was really good. I would definitely go back“
“Been meaning to visit & so happy we finally did for my mom's birthday since she wanted some good fried fish! They did not disappoint! We ordered a little bit of everything & loved it all! Service was amazing along with the cuisine!“
“This is a first class restaurant!!! I am from Charlotte NC and came twice in 3 days. I am soooo impressed! The taste service price service was exceptional! Skylar was great and Joshua helped me with a reservation at the last minute. This is a must go!!!!! Thanks to everyone that made our experience great. I came by myself first then brought 6 others the next time. Everyone was thrilled!!! This will be our annual spot as we come back for our annual conference!Rob Davis“
“The birria is killer. The pastor burrito is killer. Great variety of margaritas. Suspiciously fast service. If someone asked me to recommend a Mexican restaurant that reminds them of grandma’s cooking, this would be it. Highly recommend 10/10.“
“My Peruvian friend approved! We were just visiting Orlando for business and found this restaurant for dinner. The ceviche had wonderful flavor all the way down to leche de tigre—we drank it all as well. The octopus was tender and delicious, and the beer was nicely cold. I had a great experience. Thank you for the authentic food—my Peruvian friend was equally happy with our choice of dinner spot!“
“WOW Raw oysters in a ice bucket!! The size may not be large but the portion is good for 3. It really is great service of them hand opening the oysters. not to mention the whole restaurant is decorated as a ship, the place is nice and chill.“
“I want to start off by saying that I walked into this restaurant 30 minutes before it closed. I know that I was the jerk in this situation. I had a bad day at work and really wanted to try raw oysters for the first time. The staff at Hook & Reel were so accommodating. The staff didn't make it feel like they were closing for one second. The customer service from my server, whose name was Drina (sorry, I dont know the spelling), was out of this world. The guest service that I received was classic Disney quality. The attention and experience we received were exemplary. It is hard to believe that I enjoyed myself this much when I walked in to a return 30 mins before we closed. Even if you don't like sea food, eat here, have fun, and enjoy the experience of what prioritizing customer service looks like.“
“We visited the Waterfront for our first experience on March 16 and really really enjoyed it. We had Calamari Fingers ($13) as an appetizer and two of us shared the Waterfront Platter($23) which had one fried fish, two chicken tenders, three fried shrimp, two hushpuppies, French fries and Cole slaw. We also ordered a cupcake for dessert.Our server was Brandi and she was wonderful and as attentive as we wanted.There is both indoor and outdoor seating and the feel is very casual. We've passed by this restaurant for years but this was our first visit....and we are looking forward to returning.“
“First time visiting and for sure it won't be the last! This restaurant is by far on my Top 5 best Hot Pot locations in Orlando! The food is amazing, the variety is superb and the ambiance is so chill and relax since I didn't have to rush to pick my sauces or ingredients. We had Barbara as our server and she did an amazing job and such a knowledgeable person. We can't wait to be back and ask for her. Overall the food and the value you're getting is worth it!! Thank you for an amazing lunch for me and my family!!“
“I love this place so much, the food is amazing and the servers are always high energy, it’s a shame the prices went up this year.Oyster special used to be my favorite and the crab special too.Guess I’ll find somewhere else to go but your amazing!“
“Delicious! We live in a coastal town and hopes we would find something that was close to home - if you’re looking for the real deal this is it. The portions are very generous, the food came fast and was even better than we expected.I had the garlic noodles with shrimp. The “small plate” was not small. You get your monies worth. The shrimp were a good size - no little skinny shrimp here. If you’re looking for a taste of Cajun food - give it a go!“
“Reviewing only the food, atmosphere, and service, it's a 5/5. The bolinhos of any filling are delicious. The shrimp risotto, picanha, farofa com carne seca, and a chope are our consistently great, go-to menu items. The chopes are served Himalayan mountain top ice cold!“
“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.“
“I chose Cilantrillo for its authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, and I was delighted from the moment we walked in. The lively ambiance, coupled with the vibrant salsa music, set the perfect tone for our evening. Lisbeth, our waitress, was exceptional—friendly, professional, and attentive throughout. The arroz con gandules y pescado frito I ordered was simply delicious, leaving me eager to return for more.“
