New American Restaurants near Celebration, FL

“I had a wonderful stay at Meliá Orlando Celebration! The hotel has a charming atmosphere, clean rooms and beautiful surroundings.

The staff was very helpful, warm, and welcoming, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The location is perfect close to the parks.The pool and restaurant area is a great spot to unwind after a busy day.“

“We were absolutely blown away by our experience with Euphoria Fish house service. Not only was the food incredible—bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented —but the level of service we received was truly exceptional.

As someone with celiac disease, eating out can be nerve-wracking, but Chef Ces immediately put us at ease. What amazed us most was that he personally came out to our table to go over the menu and carefully explain which dishes could be safely accommodated gluten-free. His knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference and allowed me to enjoy the meal without worry.

Every bite was unforgettable—
This experience wasn’t just a meal—it was a memory. If you’re looking for outstanding food, genuine hospitality, and a chef who truly cares about his guests, Chef Ces is in a league of his own. Highly, highly recommended!“

“Food was delicious and something different than the usual chain restaurants“

“A perfect family dinner celebrating a birthday! Jay was the perfect server-- In fact, we commented on how attentive he was without being a hover-craft :-). Food, as we always have come to accept, was great and plates were cleaned. Thank you Seasons 52“

“The food and service was great. It was incredibly loud though. Had to yell to hear the person sitting across from me.

Kid-friendliness: Don't recommend taking your little one here without noise cancelling headphones.“

“Love Freddy’s every chance I get to eat here. One of the best Burger Chains out there“

“Food is as excellent. Unfortunately our server was not. Will give them a second chance when I am in the area“

“Just wanted to thank Sierra for her service when I come w my friends. She always makes everything easy, suggest different things, and never makes us feel like a burden with complicated orders. This place is very convenient in location and to watch the game and fights. Thank you again, Sierra!“

“Nos encantó la combinación de buena atención y un ambiente cálido para compartir momentos especiales con familia y amigos !“

“We had a wonderful breakfast. Both my sister and niece have food allergies and were attended to by both our waiter Tim (who was absolutely fabulous) and the manager Mark when we had a questionable issue that was resolved promptly without incident. The food was fantastic and I was in town visiting them and I was not disappointed in my experience here. Both Tim and Mark ate assets to your team.“

“Simply outstanding! Great all-around experience!!“

“Over a month ago my wife said she wanted to go to Wine Bar George for her bday lunch. We went with another couple. Only my wife had been before. We sat upstairs in a nice corner table and started with street corn, it was fantastic! One cheese and one charcuterie board and of course some delicious wine. Service was fantastic he suggested some wines and gave samples to make sure we liked it before the pours. They even brought her a birthday key lime dessert! Our friends thanked us for bringing them there and we will all be making this a regular place to eat and drink with friends!“

“Experience here 10/10. Visited in January and celebrated my 60th and my granddaughter’s 10th. Sat next to space window and saw the space dog a few times. Services and food excellent. Cocktails amazing! Highly recommend!“

“Always a favorite but especially this last trip for the great service! My reservation was for the wrong date and they still accommodated us right away — thanks again! Food and service were wonderful, thanks for the great recommendations from our server.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the most exceptional experience at BJ’s Brewhouse on I-Drive in Orlando this past Saturday for a surprise 50th birthday dinner, and we are still on cloud nine from how beautifully everything turned out! From the moment we began planning, the entire process was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond to make this celebration unforgettable. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism—from the helpful communication ahead of time to the outstanding service on the day of the event. A special shoutout to our amazing servers Mark, Leylani, and Edgar—you were absolutely phenomenal! Warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, you made our group feel truly celebrated. We also want to thank the management team who ensured everything ran smoothly and welcomed our family with kindness and joy. If you’re looking for a place to host a special event or just want great food and incredible service, BJ’s on I-Drive is the place to go. THANK YOU for helping us create such meaningful memories—we are beyond grateful!“

“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.“

“Service was fast through drive-thru. Food fresh, hot and delicious as always.“

“A unique and exciting eating experience.“

“Wonderful experience and amazing atmosphere coupled with great service and exquisite food!“

“Wonderful restaurant! A quick monorail or boat ride from Magic Kingdom. We shared the lobster bisque, probably the best I have ever had. We had the blackened redfish and the vegetable paella. The veggies in the paella were roasted and full of flavor but the dish was a bit spicy. The fish was terrific. The views of the lake and Magic Kingdom are beautiful and the dock is a great place to watch the nightly electric water pageant.“

“A massage for your palate! Wonderful for a celebration“

“🤤Taste :4.4/5
📍Environment: 4.4/5
🕴Service：3.8/5 ( self service )

Satu'li Canteen is such a unique dining spot! Located in Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom but its' also quiet pack for to get the seat . you may oder via the app to collect the food . The atmosphere is super interesting, and the food? Both creative and tasty!

💛 Combination Bowl with Smoked Chimichurri-braised Beef and Wood-grilled Chicken, and wow, it was flavorful and satisfying. The mix of textures and the smoky chimichurri flavor were just perfect.

💛The Ocean Moon Bowl was a fun surprise! The blue noodles were visually stunning, and the combo of tuna, watermelon radish, and pickled daikon gave it a refreshing, cool vibe.“

“Excellent service. Delicious food“

“We always have a great time here. Food is great and service always on top of it. Christiana is top notch. Provides great service. Remembers us when we come in.“

“Thanks Emily A for the amazing service. We had a fantastic meal!“

“I was assisted as soon as I walked in and ordered the calamari and s’mores cheesecake. I originally saw on the website a key lime cheesecake but was informed they didn’t have it. I was pleasantly surprised about how delicious it all was especially for the price!“

“I haven't been to Orlando in awhile but if God is willing the first meal I have when i get back will be here! This place is the real deal.“

“employees very helpful had a grilled cheese sandwich on 1st visit was great planning on coming back soon“

“Awesome food great beers and awesome staff...meaning bar tender“

“We had one of our best dinners to date at Flying Fish, and from start to finish, everything was exceptional. Our server, Stefano, was not only knowledgeable and kind, but genuinely elevated our experience. From the hosts to the staff, everyone made us feel welcomed and well cared for.

We started with the lobster bisque, which we decided to share so I wouldn’t get too full before the main course. Stefano took it upon himself to have it thoughtfully split into two bowls, and even though it was clearly a shared portion, the presentation didn’t suffer—it was plated so elegantly that it felt just as special as if we’d each ordered our own. It also came out quickly, just like the rest of our meal.

I ordered the Plancha-seared scallops, and they were cooked perfectly—tender, golden, and full of flavor. The dish was plated beautifully, and the combination of the creamy grits, sweet corn, and rich sauce was just incredible. Every element complemented the other in a way that felt refined but comforting. My husband went with the Char-seared New York Strip, which Stefano recommended over the filet mignon—his usual choice. He couldn’t have been happier with the suggestion. The strip was executed beautifully, and the flavors were spot on.

Compliments to the entire team—flawless service and unforgettable flavors.

Everything was absolutely delicious—and the service was just as impressive.

That was honestly one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. And the service? Perfect.“

“Love love love this place! The bowling is fun. Drinks are amazing and food is delicious!!! And the ranch dressing…. Please bottle it and sell it!“

“Awesome restaurant Great vegan options.“

“Highball & Harvest - Orlando - 4.5 Stars "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendor." -- Gita Highball & Harvest is a restaurant inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel. The Ritz works very hard to deliver an amazing overall experience whether in lodging or in dining. While I did not stay at the hotel itself, the opulence that surrounds you upon entering the restaurant is sumptuous. You have to take a circuitous route to get to this eatery but once seated you have great views of lush flora and fauna that are carefully manicured. The attention to detail is astounding. The only downside to this spot is that the open air nature of this area caused sound to reverberate. Normally, this is not a big deal, but there was a gaggle of men hard-pitching what sounded like a Ponzi-like scheme to some young adults nearby. I tried to ignore them, but the leader of the pitch had a bellowing voice that carried throughout the place. He looked and sounded just like Marty Funkhouser from "Curb Your Enthusiasm." It was hard to avert my eyes because he apparently had obtained hair transplants years ago and did not have the foresight to consider future baldness. So he had perfect rows of wispy red hair on his head, a complete ring of baldness, and then more hair. Anyway, while this is a major digression from the point it was hilarious to watch and listen. I didn't need to stick my head in my phone for entertainment. Now, back to my culinary experience. Highball & Harvest has, like all modern American restaurants, a craft drink menu. A highball is another name for cocktail, which was big in usage at the turn of the last century. I chose to imbibe and picked the Industrialist from the menu. This consisted of Woodford Reserve double bourbon, Creme de' Menthe, and Fernet Branca. How they came up with this combination is beyond me but WOW! - it works. I ordered three sides instead of a full meal this time, choosing brussel sprouts with sherry-maple gastrique, Jimmy Red's goat cheese grits, and red cabbage deviled eggs. At first I was worried about the maple gastrique but my worry was for naught. The maple was barely noticeable but the sugars gave a potent punch on the finish. Now, as far as cheese grits go, I will eat them whenever they're on the menu. These Jimmy Red's had so much wonderful cheese I almost want to call it cheese with grits - truly amazing. Finally the deviled eggs: The chef who designed these eggs should get national recognition. The filling was smooth and creamy. The red cabbage finish topped with the pumpernickel crouton is the kind of crisp, clean, simple dish I so enjoy. I can't say enough good things about Highball & Harvest. Their dishes are simple, yet complex, and contain the right balance of flavors with recipes that are outside of the proverbial box. Please, I implore you to go experience Highball & Harvest, so sayeth the Big Bo“

“Staying at wilderness lodge, we naturally had to try dinner at artist point. This was a 10/10 experience. The service was incredible, with numerous character visits several times. Our waitress made sure we like all of our food and offered seconds on the appetizers (although we politely declined because we wanted room for the main course). The he prime rib was one of the best I’ve had. So much flavor and so tender. My son enjoyed his pork shank. Desserts we were crazy about but honestly, everything else was so amazing, we truly didn’t care. This is one character dining experience I would absolutely do again in a heartbeat!“

“Everything was perfect ! Servers are amazing !“

“Food is excellent. All Kobe beef for steaks. Tomahawk, porterhouse etc. Burgers are huge and flavorful. Appetizers are delicious.“

“Went an hour prior to closing on Friday. Food came out super quick. Everything was delicious as usual! Buey Magoos never dissapoints when it comes to consistency. The guy taking orders was a bit distracted and we had to repeat the order a couple of times. But will give the benefit of the doubt that it was time to go home and he was tired. Everything else was just perfect!“

“Amazing, great food, love the ambiance!“

“Love love love this place! The bowling is fun. Drinks are amazing and food is delicious!!! And the ranch dressing…. Please bottle it and sell it!“

“Dole Whip perfection! The Pineapple Lanai is a must-visit spot on Disney property for a refreshing Dole Whip. The soft-serve is delicious and hits the spot on a hot day. The line moves quickly, and the outdoor seating is a great place to relax and enjoy your treat.

Kid-friendliness: They sold me ice cream for my kid“

“Amazing night, Brian our waiter was an excellent server and an amazing person, he attended me and my family very well and offered details for the food that we were uncertain about. He really is a great person and the food was also very well cooked and very delicious, amazing staff amazing cook and overall we would highly recommend David’s club to anyone.“

“My wife and I were looking to maintain our present eating habits while traveling. Thank God we found SoFresh. Terry, the owner was exceptional on all levels. The food exceeded our expectations and we promise to visit him and his business several more times. This business is wonderful. Bless this place.

Vegetarian options: Food dishes can be prepare to suit vegetarian diners.

Kid-friendliness: Friendly atmosphere indeed!!“

“I was always taught , if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all. Soooooooo................... I even ask to pay for bread.“

“I had the traditional poutine the gravy with the fries and the cheese was excellent. I need to get the receipt for the gravy. The only thing the line to get the food was long. I believe because it was popular. I recommend to try it you won’t go wrong.“

“Very good breakfast with good menu. Service was excellent.“

“Not one of the best places in the park to stop at but they do have fast counter food service and refreshments. There also are some drums, as part of their theming, so the kids can play with them and have fun, plus it has shade. Not the best but a good option if you are nearby.“

“The chicken sandwich was HUGE and absolutely delicious. Coleslaw was good as well. They have many good options for kids here as well from Chicken Tenders to Uncrustables. Food is served pool side which was awesome and made our pool trip that much more enjoyable.“

“This trip was my first time in the Avatar-themed space and the internet has long told me to get the drink at Pongu Pongu. I think it’s a cool drink, very colorful and vibrant. But I don’t think it’s something that I would go out of my way to get if I was in Animal Kingdom. If you’re in the area and want something refreshing and tart to drink, go for it.“

“Once again I'm impressed with this Four Seasons property. Every restaurant and experience has been exceptional. The lunch at PB&G was exceptional. We had exemplary service in a beautiful outdoor setting! The food was delicious and libations creative. This property continues to impress me.“

“Bula Bar seemed like a good place to enjoy the pool, watch sports and take a cold drink. On the other hand, the food is not recommended, at high prices and not so good in taste. Regarding service, my waitress was nice but she completely forgot my pizza order and when I ordered something different the food didn't take long but it wasn't what I ordered. The passion fruit smoothie was good and the Piña Colada was one of the best I've ever had.

Parking: Paid parking garage of the Resort.

Wheelchair accessibility: Great accessibility for wheelchairs.“
