LIPA Rooftop by Akira Back

Excellent place, delicious food, nice atmosphere, spectacular view!
We were looking for a place for our Christmas dinner and we found it, we achieved our goal of eating well and watching the Disney fireworks from the rooftop, perfect for the night!
The girl who helped us made some mistakes but the girl at the reception (Heidy) treated us incredibly, very attentive, cordial and friendly score 100 for the reception and the place!

The rooftop dazzles with its enchanting atmosphere, stunning views, and chic design, creating a nearly perfect escape. Yet, the sushi rolls falter, burdened by too much rice and tempura, veering away from culinary excellence. The cocktail, meant to intrigue, instead resembles coconut-flavored mineral water, lacking depth. Amidst this, the waiters shine brilliantly, offering swift and attentive service that nearly redeems the experience.

Excellent service and even better food. The vibe is so fun. The decor is so eclectic and the drinks are so fun. Definitely worth it!

The restaurant in just off of the right side of the lobby as you enter the hotel. It is an open and lively area, and while lacking intimacy, is well presented with a modern and workable layout. Our party found the waitstaff to be eager and focused on providing an excellent customer experience. The food was innovative, upmarket and well presented. We ordered across the menu and had a chance to experience many of the lead menu items. Each had been well-described by our server and lived up to the expectations. The "pizza" was excellent. Advice: Make a reservation, as availability may be limited Know: There is no alcohol and no bar area for pre-meal staging. The BYOB policy makes up for it and is actually a welcome change. There is no corkage fee. Warning: Either by design or by plan, the restaurant is quite loud. At our table, the constant noise level was at 80-85dB, with peaks at 90dB. You find yourself talking over the ambient sound for your table conversation.

Absolutely fabulous restaurant - food, service, atmosphere all sublime! Fresh and exciting menu - really stands out against other restaurants in the area. Bring your own alcohol with free corkage a bonus, but the mocktails are a must try - really spectacular! Paul our server was absolutely fantastic - super attentive and informative. A must visit!

Lipa Rooftop Restaurant offers an exquisite dining experience. The stunning views complement the top-tier cuisine perfectly, creating a unique ambiance. The menu is diverse and well-curated, and the service is impeccable. Every visit to Lipa is memorable, making it a 5-star establishment in every sense.

We arrived 5 min early and were asked to wait in the lobby for 20 min, restaurant had 3 diners. The server was unable to answer questions about the dishes and then told us it was alcohol free. The bartender was making gin and tequila drinks meanwhile next to us? Kinda strange. Meanwhile the was an average of 30 min between courses where no server came to check on us. We would have had dessert but were already 90 min into the meal. Had to flag down a random staff member to get the check. There were only 3 tables full. The servers were all chatting in the open kitchen. Sad, dishes were inventive and delicious, service was terrible.

Can't serve 2 hours worth of food over 4 hours. What we did get served was excellent but slow. Manager and staff were obviously disappointed in themselves which probably means this isn't the norm. But this place isn't going to make it if they don't get the pace right.

Amazing experience! Food and service are spectacular! We had a wonderful time with some friends! The perfect storm roll is a MUST!

Sushi is very good and the DJ created a great vibe - However the fireworks are not as close as what I was expecting based on what is promoted. Definitely could not hear them and seeing them was a bit difficult

Great ambiance! Food was ok, but the service, concept and place were awesome. House / Lounge music played was great 💪🏼. Great spot for a date.

Overall the food was good but for the price we have had much better. We went because it said it was an experience and Akira Back the Chef, was there doing a meet and greet. We are really into following the Michelin star scene and were excited to meet him. There was no meet and greet taking place and if there was he didn't make his rounds. The staff was super nice but it was very slow. Our dinner was over $300 and we are more than willing to pay that if the service, atmosphere and food live up to that price. Unfortunately this did not.

This restaurant came highly recommended by the ette Hotel staff and it did not disappoint. Excellent venue, superb food, gorgeous presentation and a view that you cannot get anywhere else in Kissimmee.

Lipa is definitely a place to repeat. We went to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had a wonderful time. Their food was great, but the presentation of the dishes makes it even better! I ordered "The Perfect Storm," and the way Jorge and Maria presented is unique! We also tried all the mocktails, my favorite was "The Philosopher" it has a spicy taste! Loved it! Our other server was Gabriela, and she was also amazing! The ambiance of the restaurant is very unique, and the DJ was fantastic! The music is perfect for the place. I'll definitely be back!
