“Great local spot perfect for starting your night out! They offer relatively affordable drinks, and the bartenders are pretty cool. There's a pool table that you don't have to pay for, darts, and lots of comfortable places to sit. Outside is a chill vibe as well, with several seats and tables out front - I've been there 3 times, and it's never been super crowded. Parking can be a challenge at times, but there are lots nearby to park at. I recommend starting out here if you're bar hopping and then walking to the mills (about a 5 minute walk, and you'll pass several bars along the way)“

“We went for lunch for my besties birthday. Food and service were amazing. A bonus is this spot is the BEST food ever. I havent had authentic Mexican food in Orlando since I lived in Southern California 13 years ago. The only drawback was the lighting. It was way too bright. We almost wanted to put on our Sunglasses but didn't want to be rude to such kind staff members. Please consider dimming your lighting. It is a great place though, nicely remodeled and great accents and pretty dinnerware. We have ordered food over 25 times and it is always excellent!“

“I stumbled across this place by chance this weekend and am glad I did. I was craving an Old Fashioned all week long. I tried the original and then the Southern style. Great staff, Bartenders were fantastic and also had brief conversations with the other guests. I highly recommend going. I will be back and next time I’ll hopefully have some friends with me.“

“Was incredible. The cheezus is a must. The spice from the bomb that was added into my Ramen made it just right for me(if you enjoy spicy) The shishito peppers accompanied the ramen perfectly. Our server Brandon was amazing and attentive, fun guy! All around, I highly recommend this place.“

“I was born and raised in Orlando and Prato is still the best food and restaurant in the city. Location is perfect for families or date night. The food is always Michelin worthy and service is always good. Make a reservation! We make one even if it’s months out because it’s worth it.“

“Lamp & Shade in the heart of Mills 50 Orlando lovely restaurant with an astonishing unique ambiance. I went yesterday evening to check out this restaurant and I was certainly impressed by the crafted food and delicious cocktails.“

“So delicious! Excellent service from everyone, especially our server Shaun. He was so thorough and answered all our questions. The Cedar Key clams were to die for! I had the scallops and my husband had the burger for dinner- so freaking amazing ! I can’t say enough about this place! The owner was walking through the dining room checking on everyone, greeting everyone - thank you Carol for an exceptional experience!“

“Been here twice now, ordered different items each time & they didn’t disappoint. It’s my “go to” place for Mexican food in the area. Service is always good & attentive (not sure why other reviews complain). If you’re in the area check it out. I’ll, definitely, be back.“

“We were hesitant when we learned the restaurant changed their menu. However, we were proved wrong immediately!! Love everything about this restaurant. The food, the flavors, the staff. You can't go wrong bringing friends and family here.“

“Excellent food, wait staff and over all service. Great experience every time I visit“

“Rum, Rum, and more Rum. Great selection!“

“My favorite restaurant in town! Excellent service and food.“

“My daughter and I had an absolutely amazing time at this restaurant. The food is great,the ambiance is amazing and the service is everything you would want it to be. Cheyenne, our server met all of our needs and more, super personable and attentive.“

“Food was amazing (the steak, lobster Mac and cheese, potato's, corn, orange cake) but unfortunately the service was really poor compared to the other times we've been. I'm really hoping it was just a bad night or the server was just having a bad day which is totally understandable. If you're looking for great food this is the place- but if you would like the full experience with a server who doesn't just say “okay... what do you want? With no recommendations, and where you don't get any refills or asked if maybe we had wanted more drinks, or even a how're you doing today this may not be a great fit.“

“Great music, good food and the chocolate desser was amazing. Staff is very friendly. It was a very nice relaxing evening!“

“Twas a dark and stormy night in the 8th layer of hell the lost souls of the East know as “Orlando”. As the clouds shrouded the sky, I stumbled into this saloon for shelter from the impending Burning Rain of Death. The rake behind the counter, Garret, kindly offered me a libation to which I vehemently obliged. Before the cold glass met my lips, I was frozen in my chair by the sight of a wicked woman with fiery hair the locals know to be Winnifred. We spoke wildly into the night of spooky dino chickie nuggies, Disney +, Malibu potions, and cauldron maintenance, of course. She lent me her boOooOooOok and I would love nothing more than to return it to her, as it won’t stop staring at me. If you see her, please do let her know I would love to reconnect, and would also take her up on Billy’s number if she’s indeed done with him.“

“Best dining experience in a long time. Family run venue, arrived late from Canada, stayed open for us and we were the last booking. Exceptional food, service, value, and wine selection . They went above and beyond and even drove us home, but I can't say that that is standard. Highly recommend , very memorable experience“

“Wonderful as always!!! One of my favorite places ☺️“

“Great venue for having a great time with your friends. Fresh food, friendly bar tenders. I went on karaoke night and had a blast. Will definitely be back soon“

“Great staff, food and drinks.“

“Slicers are huge. Like nearly 3 NY slices huge but that's not a bad thing, just a word of caution. Minus one star for atmosphere because the seating isn't good for super long stays, which is sad because the music, staff, food, and lighting all make you want to stay and chat. Definitely coming back with more friends. This one's open late so it's a great place to stop if you're in need of a bite after 10pm. The sauce is classic and traditional. The crust will tempt you and the toppings will send you.“

“Visited family in Florida a few weeks ago and had lunch here. Excellent service, great food, wonderful atmosphere.“

“I just want to say what an amazing place this is. We have been here many times and every time service is on point and food is amazing! We’ve had Taylor and Yez as our servers and they are both AMAZING! Tyra is so wonderful and remembers us every time and makes sure to take very good care of us! Jenna the bartender makes the perfect drinks! This place is where we should all be spending our money at. Not corporate places. They truly care about our experience! We will definitely be back!!“

“Just wonderful. The Christmas buffet was amazing. So much to offer. Something for everyone. The servers and omelet station people were so friendly and accommodating. Making sure we were very well taken care of. Great job.“

“Mr.Toure was very helpful and his customer service was excellent. While helping with my storage unit Thank you Extra Space Storage.“

“Delicious homemade guacamole 🥑 and the fajitas for 2 are huge!“

“Best Christmas Cocktails for the start to our Christmas Party 2022! Working with Hurst was fun and he made recommendations that were a success.“

“We absolutely loved this restaurant! Friendly staff, great lighting, delicious and unique menu options and cocktails. Can’t wait to be back!“

“My husband and I popped in for dinner after he arrived home from a family event. We wanted a date night after being away from one another for several days/nights. It was our first time. I sent him the menu as he boarded his plane and he was looking forward to a “new spot”. It did not disappoint. We were attended to from the time we sat down until after we tabbed out. We tried several dishes to get an idea of their style of cooking. The prosciutto melted in our mouths.. the ricotta was extremely creamy and bread from Breadsmith? DELISH. The Italian wedding soup was delicious, the pig n’ fig pizza was excellent (kudos on the dough and crust!), the spicy vodka rigate was on point! Not too spicy.. just that perfect amount of crushed red pepper in the sauce. The wine list was an extensive and our servers (we love to sit at the bar) was top notch! (Forgive me because I’m bad with names but I believe they were Alyssa and Jackie?) it is now on our list of must return spots. They were jamming for a Wednesday night. We initially sat at the rail bar but a couple waved in our direction to let us know they were leaving in a few minutes. If you’re looking for a quiet, romantic spot, it’s not quiet but it doesn’t echo, either. The details are beautiful, the artwork is pleasant to the eye and it was a perfect romantic date night spot for us. One of the better Italian spots in the area. Kudos and thank you for a great evening! Oh. P.S. the 12 month prosciutto with ricotta “primi” is definitely enough to share with 4 people. lol. So good!“

“We had their quesadilla and orange and pineapple mimosas! they were delish!! highly recommend. The atmosphere was super beautiful too!!“

“The new menu for lunch and dinner as well as the new Weekend Brunch menu is excellent. Definitely worth going to any day for any meal! Very well done!!“

“Amazing restaurant, the food is amazing and great service“

“My friend lives in The Strand and suggested this spot for paella night last night. We certainly were not disappointed!! The food was AMAZING and so was the Spanish guitar player with a flamenco dancer. We not only ate ourselves silly, we had a blast too! Really excellent service and the food was perfect!!“

“They have the best wings & margaritas!!!“
