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

“A lovely dining experience with great food, guest Princess appearances making this an extra special experience for my daughter to enjoy. Taking our photo with Cinderella immediately after completing my daughter’s boutique experience was remarkable. In addition, for my daughter to meet Jasmine, Aurora, and Ariel was also truly special. The food came in 3 courses and all options were delicious. What a remarkable experience, our family enjoyed it as we got to eat in the main Disney Castle at Cinderella’s Royal Table.“

“Great experience and food.“

“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.“

“Came in for our anniversary and left already planning our next visit. The food and drinks were exactly what you'd expect from The Capital Grille — excellent across the board — but the reason this review exists is our server, Stan. He was attentive, warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire evening feel special. The kind of service that turns an upscale dinner into a night you'll remember. Ask for Stan. 5 stars!“

“Our Mother's Day dinner at Christini's was truly one of the finest dining experiences we have ever had. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The atmosphere is elegant and timeless, with old-world charm that makes you feel as though you've stepped into a classic Italian restaurant from another era. Because we reserved a later seating, the restaurant was quiet and relaxed, allowing us to enjoy a wonderful two-and-a-half-hour meal without feeling rushed. The service was flawless—attentive, professional, and warm. Every detail was handled perfectly. The food was outstanding from start to finish. Each course was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The roses presented to the ladies added a thoughtful and memorable touch that made the evening even more special. Most importantly, we shared the evening with dear friends and created memories we will never forget. Christini's delivered a perfect 10 in every category: food, service, atmosphere, and overall experience. If you are looking for a truly special restaurant in Orlando for a celebration or simply an unforgettable meal, Christini's is worth every penny ❤️“

“Everything we ate and drank was amazing! Everyone we encountered from the moment the doors open treated us so nicely, so friendly and a wonderful atmosphere! Highly recommend it!!“

“We dined here for our anniversary dinner and were pleasantly impressed with the attentiveness of the staff. It wasn’t formal as they are at Del Frisco’s but they let you know they were there. Even the managing partner, Philip and the manager, Jeff introduced themselves. We had the price fixe Land and Sea and opted for a tomahawk ribeye which was done as I prefer with little seasoning and salt. The mushroom bisque soup was flavorful. Our waitress, Dana was attentive and professional. I would definitely come back because Del Frisco’s will probably cost us twice as much.“

“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.“

“Pablo Marrero was excellent in every way. He went above and beyond in EVERY aspect of our Christmas Employee Dinner. The meals were delicious and the service TOP NOTCH. Highly recommend!!!“

“My husband and I went here for my birthday last night. Every person that worked there was friendly and welcoming. They made us feel like they appreciated us choosing them for dinner. Our food was delicious and perfectly prepared. Usually my steak is cooked terribly because I need it well done. When the steak came it was huge, I just knew it would not be right. The steak was perfect! Well done, yet still not dried out! From the time we entered the door, every single worker greeted us and made me feel special.“

“Great food and great service!“

“Great experience all around! Ribeyes were amazing! So much flavor and cooked perfect“

“We were here for our anniversary, the food was phenomenal, our waiter Richie was very well versed in the menu. He answered all of our questions, made great suggestions! The Key Lime pie was outstanding.“

“This is not your average theme park restaurant! We were at Universal for our 40th wedding anniversary and had our anniversary dinner at Mythos. The restaurant is beautiful. We had a very nice table for two by the window and our server, Kailyn, was perfect, very attentive and personable. We shared the spanakopita dip for starters. My husband had the beef tenderloins and I had the pan roasted salmon. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious and we cleaned our plates. When we mentioned to Kailyn that it was our 40th anniversary, she came back to say that the restaurant was comping our desserts. I had the creme brulee and my husband had banana bread pudding. My dessert came on a tray with two lit candles, a blue and a pink one, and 'congrats" in writing in chocolate. Never once did we feel rushed even though the restaurant was very busy. We have traveled a lot both in the States and abroad and this meal was one of the best we've ever had--an outstanding dining experience in every way.“

“If you’re not sitting at Ron’s bar, what are you even doing with your life? 10000000% recommend. The man is a magician. The food was perfection, the service was divine, and I will unapologetically stalk Ron’s section every single visit. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“
