New American Restaurants near Celebration, FL

“Everything about the food service at the Melia Orlando was five star! From the hostess to the servers to the bartender and the chefs, my family and I were treated royally! We have never been made to feel so special! Maria, Olivia, and Lily just to name a few were simply exceptional! The food was delicious and the menu had lots of interesting variety! we had signed up for the Level experience therefore our breakfast was complementary and included in the price of our room rate. We had breakfast every day for the 10 days we were there.The times we ate dinner there the menu prices were very reasonable!“

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

“Attention to detail and great overall service. Hosted a book club event here and the front staff made sure we got our table overlooking the lake. The noise level was high but the service and atmosphere were fantastic. Seasons 52 is great for any type of occasion.“

“Exceptional Customer Service delivered by our bartenders Nataly, Taylor, Christi, and Ashley the Bartender Manager. Overall, the BEST restaurant in Orlando, Florida to enjoy the food , drinks, and music. My wife and I, number one place in Orlando, Florida to go have fun. Thank you for making our visits extremely special. 😉❤️❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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 experience at Wine Bar George. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal. We ordered the steak for two, mussels, and giant profiterole for dessert, and everything was excellent. The steak was perfectly cooked and flavorful, the mussels were fresh and delicious, and the profiterole was a fantastic way to end the meal. Each dish was well-prepared and really hit the mark and it was a great dining experience.“

“My first time and it definitely won't be my last. I specifically went for the hyped up Breakfast Burger and OOOOMMMGGGG 😳 it just jumped ahead of every Burger I've ever had. Soooo good. Our Server Tim was OUTSTANDING, accommodating and pure joy.“

“I was in town for my daughter's 14th birthday and Norman's did not disappoint. From our initial greeting to the final goodbyes, the team at Norman's was flawless. We were promptly sat upon entering. Every team member that stopped by our table made sure to wish my daughter a happy birthday. Service was timed to perfection. Drinks were always kept full. Entrees got to us just as our appetizers were finished. Our service team made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our visit. As for food we started with the charcuterie board, blue crab beignets, and the pork belly. All 3 appetizers were amazing and perfectly portioned so we could all enjoy some. I had the yellowtail snapper as I've heard that Norman's has the best yellowtail snapper and this could be the best filet of fish I've ever had. Highly recommend trying this fish out if you're a fish lover as I am. We also had the filet mignon and the Mongolian tomahawk pork chop. Both were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. We also enjoyed au gratin potatoes, creamed corn and lobster Mac. The creamed corn was the only item in the entire experience that I didnt care for because it had a pepper taste to it and that's not what I was expecting. Lobster Mac was great as was the au gratin potatoes. For dessert, they brought out a platter as a surprise to all us with my daughter's name written on the plate. That was a super cool touch and made the experience that much better. Not to be outdone they also brought us passionfruit creme brulee, key lime pie, cheesecake and tiramisu. Each of these desserts were delicious. Sadly I was able to taste but not indulge as I have to watch my sugar intake but the rest of my party loved each option given. I can't say enough how great this dining experience was to those that I know so I wanted to share what an outstanding job Norman's did for my family and how special they made my daughter feel. True hospitality is hard to find these days and Norman's did a fine job on this visit.“

“omg... First time here. Laura Corona our server AMAZING!! Sophia our manager AWESOME!“

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

“My husband and I went there for lunch today and not only was the food delicious, our bartender/server Melanie was so friendly, knowledgeable about the food and the beverages and made the experience amazing.“

“Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and extremely attentive staff. Amer was an awesome server. He did extra things to make our 3 year old feel special. The king crab and lobster bisque and the almond cheesecake were all spectacular. One of the best meals we’ve ever had.“

“This place never disappoints. The food is always good and the servers are attentive but not in the way. Each time we've been there, the manager stops at the table to check in and make sure everything is up to standards. The cooks and chefs get it right every time. We'll keep going here every time we visit the area.“

“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.“

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

“A unique and exciting eating experience.“

“Usually I like getting lunch from here when I’m at animal kingdom. I didn’t like how I couldn’t go in the restaurant even though my food was under progress. When I picked up my meals, it was disappointing. We ordered two noodle bowls, but one lacked noodles and mostly creamy sauce and one had double the noodles then the 1st bowl.“

“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.“

“Worth visiting! Food, atmosphere and service were all great! Donna is amazing and so welcoming and kind. The best chef! We went back multiple times because of her.“

“Everything was perfect ! Servers are amazing !“

“Manager Aaron & his entire staff was helpful when we had a medical emergency while eating there this past weekend. Everyone moved with urgency and took great care of us. This has always been one of our favorite spots in Disney Springs and this cements our loyalty. Many thanks!“

“Food was delicious. Was there towards the end of breakfast/brunch time so wasn't expecting fully stocked buffet line, waitress was pleasant and attentive even with being there so late. The lady at the omelet station tried to act nice but I could clearly tell she was annoyed and would have rather been cleaning and closed already. Also very good price for what was available to choose from, the quality, and the location being one street over from Disney springs. Was honestly expecting it to cost more“

“Great dogs!! Next to train station and quick, good eats, great pricing. Thanks👍👍👍“

“We ordered Huey Magoo’s catering from Winter Garden for a graduation party. The food was excellent, our guests enjoyed it. We ordered chicken, dips, salad, chips and cookies. The service was excellent - they had everything ready on time and the team was very polite. The price was great too. This made our party easy and enjoyable for everyone! Thank you!“

“Amazing, great food, love the ambiance!“

“Best Burger I've had in years! I have an uncommon difficult allergy and Chef Matthew made an absolutely delicious meal. Stephanie did a fantastic job serving. I'll be here for a week can't wait to see what else Chef creates. Great food, great staff.“

“Awesome restaurant Great vegan options.“

“I’m not even a Villian fan but here—- I loved The Evil Queen!
The food presentation was so unique and tasty, enough for everyone to get a piece!!
The Dwarves and Snow White are a special treat to meet and just as you would image them to be.
Be sure to watch the geizer go off after your meal.“

“A Disney trip isn’t complete without Dole Whip 🍍✨
This time we tried the Dole Whip Rum Floater. That splash of Parrot Bay Coconut Rum definitely helped 😉

That said… the Dole Whip itself wasn’t as creamy as I remembered. It felt more icy than it used to be, even compared to a couple of years ago. Not sure it’s even real ice cream 🤷‍♀️

Still a fun Disney tradition. Curious if anyone else has noticed the change?“

“Recommended to have a reservations so I sat at the bar. Love that they accommodate food allergies. I really enjoy their steak and the bartenders were very inviting with samples of wine to find the perfect pick. I enjoyed the atmosphere which was fun, elegant and inviting.“

“As regulars at Disney, we frequent Old Key West and love coming to Olivia's. We love the staff, Tracy, Jennifer, Melissa, and especially Mr T, oh and I can't forget Daniel! There is not a bad item on the menu. Love our Dianey family!“

“The service was spectacular Luciano our server was beyond his duties“

“It was very easy to order, the food was a little more than we expected to pay but it was fresh, delicious and we felt good about ourselves afterward. I am a very picky eater and was able to find some delicious combinations. It was still warm by the time we got it home. We will be back!“

“I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place to stay before flying out. I stay at this hotel every time I go down to Orlando and it is very convenient to book for your next day flight. The restaurants are great. The staff is amazing. The balcony view is unmatched. It is a little more expensive to stay here compared to your average hotel, but you won’t regret picking this Hotel over every other one out there. Spend the cash and stay here. It’s worth it.“

“we had the best time here food and beer selection was fantastic“

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

“In a very walkable plaza, that is usually quite busy. This is usually a little to know weight which I appreciate. With a gluten allergy, I am very selective on places that I will eat, and this is always a go to even though not everything is gluten-free. They have a big variety of products that are.“

“Pongu Pongu at Pandora – The World of Avatar is a fun, colorful spot to grab a snack or drink while exploring Pandora.

The standout here is definitely the drinks—both non-alcoholic and boozy options are served in creative, themed cups that make for a fun photo opportunity. The Night Blossom drink is a fan favorite, with its sweet, fruity flavors and glowing glow-in-the-dark effect. They also offer a few small bites, like Pongu Lumpia, which is a tasty sweet and creamy spring roll.

The outdoor seating area is small but lively, and it’s a great place to take a short break while enjoying the Pandora atmosphere. Overall, Pongu Pongu is a must-visit for unique drinks and a fun little snack stop in Animal Kingdom.“

“From the moment we walked in the manager Gokhan couldn't do enough for us. The food is great so we decided to go back another night while we were on our vacation. Laura was our server and she was excellent. The place is clean, excellent food and you're welcomed from the time you go in. I'm very happy with the new management because I say at the Hyatt Regency In Orlando every yr.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming to Royal Pacific since 2005. And having enjoyed going to the Islands Restaurant. I’ve had many Servers throughout my times going to Islands Dining. But my most recent visit I must admit Server Mustafo (Sorry if I misspelled his name). Mustafo was BY FAR the best Server I’ve had in Islands in a while. And that’s saying a lot. Because a lot (if not all) the Servers) in Islands are AMAZING!! But Mustafo set the bar MUCH HIGHER. Mustafo ensured that we were taken care of the whole time. And made us feel like we were at home. He should definitely be rewarded for his amazing Service and attention to detailed. If you want Amazing service be sure to ask for Mustafo“

“One of Disneys best. A bit of a secret in Grand Floridian but love it“

“The food was great we shared a 22oz ribeye and crab cake appetizer. Our waiter was good, not overly attentive but also not asking us every 3 minutes how everything was which was nice to be able to enjoy dinner without talking to the waiter with a mouthful. Drinks were okay, I got an old fashioned tasted a little syrupy and came with no garnishing wasn't overly impressed especially being an upscale steakhouse expected a great cocktail. Overall a good experience and would probably try it again.“

“Hands down the best bottomless mimosa spot in the area! The service is incredibly attentive—your carafe is never empty for long—and the lakeside views from the patio deck make for the perfect brunch atmosphere. Great food, great drinks, and an unbeatable vibe. Highly recommend!“
