“Muy rico el pumpkin spice latte 😍✅”

“Food was awesome! I had the Strawberry 🍓 Crepes 🍓🍓🍓”

“10/10! The Berkwood St Louis Sticky Ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and so flavorful that we found ourselves talking about them for days. The Hamachi Carpaccio was another standout, with the ponzu sauce and kefir lime oil perfectly complementing the yellowtail. We also enjoyed the Garlic Togarashi Edamame and Shrimp Tempura. I loved the Bee My Honey cocktail—it had just the right amount of sweetness for my taste. My fiancé ordered the Kabooki Old Fashioned and liked the mix of ginger syrup and cherry bark vanilla bitters.

The restaurant itself has a contemporary vibe, with low lighting and an intimate atmosphere. The service was great, and we’ll definitely be returning.”

“Husband and I were visiting Orlando for the first time and came across Maxine's on Shine. It is such an absolutely incredible charming restaurant! The food was outstanding, with generous and delicious portions, great prices, lots of options and vegan options and drinks but above all -- the hospitality was exceptional! From the greeting from the hostess, discussion with the bartender to the server, busser and owners, they all truly made us feel like a local to the city and appreciative of our business. You really can see the passion from Kirt and Maxine (owners) as it really shines through in every detail in their food, decor and ambiance of the restaurant and you can see that same passion in their staff! My husband and I went for dinner on a Saturday night and had such a wonderful experience that we simply had to go back on Sunday for the brunch before leaving town. Truly an AMAZING experience and such wonderful people! 100 STARS!!!”

“My wife and were anxiously waiting for this restaurant to open. We went this Friday (May 5th) and were not disappointed. First, the restaurant is beautifully decorated. The ambient music was at a perfect level with a definite South Beach feel. We interacted with several servers and each of them provided excellent service. The menu has enough diversity to satisfy anyone's tastes. To start, we had an appetizer that consisted of scallops covers in parmesan cheese that was melted at the table with a torch. For our entrees, I had a beef dish (Lomo Saltado), while my wife had a pork dish (Arroz chaufa with pork). Everything was delicious. They have quite a few specialty drinks in their cocktail menu. We each had a different drink and both were very tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Piscos and look forward to going back.”

“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."”

“Yusleidis was a fantastic server and the drink sizes are muy Grande!! The casadillas were phenomenal! Definitely will be your favorite Mexican restaurant!”

“My second visit and always a good experience. The house margarita was a medium and huge. Delicious and served in a large, beautiful margarita glass. Love the crab dip, always loaded with crab. I get ground beef Chimichanga and it is great. The servers were wonderful and we wanted for nothing, Will be back.”

“Words can’t describe how beautiful this establishment truly is!!! Honestly, if I had endless amounts of $$, I’d love my place to look just like Otto’s High Dive.
The bread plate and spreads were amazing. Hands down!!!! Hands down the VERY BEST FROZEN MOJITO I’VE EVER HAD!!!

“The whole experience was awesome, you can tell the chef really takes pride in the Intricate details of each dish. While watching him prepare each one you can tell he takes pride in making sure each one is plated perfectly and are all uniform.”

“Our family stopped in for some delicious Phoebe’s ice cream this evening. We had a hard time choosing as there are so many amazing flavors, so we each got doubles… Vanilla, orange dream, amaretto chip, dulce de leche, and chocolate brownie did not disappoint. The people and atmosphere are both lovely. We enjoyed sitting for a spell to enjoy our treats. 🐈 🍨 💜”

“Karen was our waitress today 10-6-24 she was excelente as usual!!”

“The restaurant was amazing”

“Very delicious food!! They have a very large selection of vegan options on their buffet. The service was impeccable, servers were EXTREMELY attentive and courteous on making sure our table was very well taken care of. The buffet for sure kept me full and content all day!! I can’t wait to go back and try the meat dishes they have. I will be returning soon!! Thank you!!”

“You can 5 light here for under 20 per person, but I recommend 50 per person, so you can try a decent chunk of the menu.
I also recommend making the reservation for the Kappo bar, they took amazing care of my spouse and I for our anniversary.

Almost 3 years of eating here and the menu is always updating with new dishes to try! The meat and fish are fresh and so delicious!! Also, the liquor selection and dri k menu is superb. There is no other restaurant like it and nowhere else will give you the same flavors, quality, and ambiance of a Japanese restaurant.
PS: if you like Godzilla, you should come here~”

“We had an amazing time at Keg Social Orlando celebrating a birthday! We enjoyed bowling, axe throwing, and the arcade, which provided hours of fun. The venue offers something for everyone, regardless of age—our group ranged from 11 to 41 years old, and everyone had a blast. The food and drinks from the bar were fresh and delicious, and the DJ kept the party atmosphere lively. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable outing for all ages!”

“We were given a gift card by our son-in-law at Christmas and we were finally in that part of town the other evening. We arrived early so we beat the crowd this I can say is that I had the most amazing meal of my life complemented by the best service from our server Alex. I believe the prices are fair a little high for every day dining but for the food and the ambience very much in line. I had the lamb. My wife had to see bass I was son was skeptical when the server told me that it was a marinated and cooked and its own fat. I thought maybe it would become greasy, no meat came out and fell apart with a fork for a lamb I I was. I was blown back and had a combination of little baby carrots. It had these little things that I could only compare to a tater tot but 100 times better asparagus presentation outstanding see the attached picture, I could not more highly recommend this place to anyone and you can tell from my profile how many reviews I’ve done of restaurants I would say that this is probably my all time ever favorite restaurant”

“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!”
