Fine Dining Restaurants in Orlando, FL

“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.“

“Our meal was outstanding. The appetizers of Oysters Rockefeller and Calamari were hot and cooked well. The bread of course is always delicious. Husband had the salmon hich he enjoyed. I had the 22oz ribeye and it was cooked to medium perfection. The mashed potatoes and creamed spinach were excellent sides. Apple Tart and Creme Brule completed the meal. Service was excellent.“

“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.“

“Ed was a phenomenal waiter. He was attentive, professional, and made sure every detail of our dining experience was taken care of. His service truly elevated the meal.

I highly recommend both Ed and this restaurant. I ordered the gyoza and the pulpo, and both were absolutely outstanding, 10/10. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Everything was perfect from the greeting thru to the lemocini(sp?) at the end. You can get a great meal at alot of places, but the service here sets it apart. Love the atmosphere too. Lights are dimmed and cozy. I can't wait to go back. I'll add Christinis to list of places to go to for special occasions. Warning- NOT CHEAP. Go to Olive Garden if you want cheap. If you want a great dining experience along with great food, treat yourself and your family. It is worth it 💯.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Recommend Everything! We’d had a long day and this was the place we didn’t know we needed! They were so welcoming, with amazing recommendations including descriptions of menu items that made my mouth water! It’s a family business that makes everyone feel like family - with unique and very good food! Octopus… pork belly… pasta..amazing desserts! You don’t want to miss Russells! Thank you for making our night so fun!“

“Our rehearsal dinner at Crimson Tavern was wonderful! The pricing was more than fair, the space was perfect for our group, and the team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We appreciated the variety of options offered and how willing the staff were to help throughout the evening. Our families and wedding party had a great time, and it was a perfect start to our wedding weekend. Highly recommend this location for your rehearsal dinner or any private event!“

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

“Great food and great service!“

“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.“

“I love Christners and took my son for his birthday celebration and he loved it He ordered his filet mignon with lobster Mac and cheese I had my favorite ahi tuna steak Both were amazing We also had the bread pudding which was delicious Our waiter has been there 23 years and he was excellent. So he knew everything Thank you for making my sons first visit such a great experience“

“I came here to celebrate my husband’s birthday! It’s definitely a vibe!! Love the ambiance and the music 👌🏼 top notch!! The drinks were delish! The food- was ok. My steak puff pastry was good but very cold. My lobster pasta was good but had a weird crunchiness to it??? Wasn’t sure if it was shell idk but weird. Also, since we were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday I got the shot’s celebration package. It came with sparkling candles shots for everyone in the table and a marquee sign that was “supposed” to say Happy Birthday Anthony buuuut it didn’t. I got everything else but the point was it should’ve been more personalized like they advertised it to be, plus I paid for that. Otherwise it ultimately was a nice experience and a good time!!“

“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.“
