“The best poke in Orlando! Always fresh, clean, delicious“

“Sometimes things go wrong, and great businesses make awesome recoveries. I made an order through UberEats and my driver picked up the wrong bag, showing up at my house with someone else’s food. The driver apologized, called the restaurant, and they said they’d make a fresh order for her to pick up. She left telling me she’d be back in 20 minutes. 45 minutes later Uber Eats closed out the order and gave her my tip. They refused to speak with me or give me a refund.

Enter Gators. I then spoke with the receptionist and they told me the new order was waiting and UberEats never came to pick it up. To make it right, they jumped in their catering van and brought it to me myself. We love Gators, we order from it all the time, and after tonight, we always will.

Thank you guys for fixing someone else’s mess, we really appreciated it!“

“Awesome place ! Gipsy was great too“

“Lovely spot with wonderful service and the best octopus ever...and I order 🐙 anytime anywhere it's on the menu. A triumph!“

“Nos encantó la combinación de buena atención y un ambiente cálido para compartir momentos especiales con familia y amigos !“

“Everyone here is friendly and the service was fast and food was hot.“

“The overall experience was excellent in the V-Lounge. Our server (Dio) I believe was her name was excellent as well. She had good recommendations for the teasers (apps) and the sushi rolls. We would definitely return and hope Eddie's continues to offer this option in the future.“

“First time here. Everything we had was delicious. My friend never had Peruvian food, she enjoyed it all.
We had a special that included 3 different items - Jaleo mixto, ceviche and a rice dish. All cooked to perfection with tons of flavor. Great deal as well!“

“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.“

“Note: 4 stars since I'm vegetarian. If you're a carnivore, great place and probably 5 stars.

I came here with some colleagues after a conference. It's located in the Ritz Carlton.

It's a fancy place! I believe it's on the Michelin guide. Know that it is pricey. It's a steakhouse and I'm a vegetarian, but the staff was kind and pointed me to dishes that were veggie friendly.

They start with an amuse bouche -- I had some fresh veggies that seemed recently harvested. It came with ranch that felt like it was from a grocery store, but the veggies were good.

The bread course was great -- several options and all good. They have two types of butter as well, including a smoky one that I thought was excellent. The croissant-like bread was really good.

My group didn't order any veggie apps but there weren't many on there besides the salad. That said, they raved about the Caesar salad and the oysters. The salad was especially popular.

For the mains, my friends mostly ordered meat dishes (which is what the place is known for). I ordered a pasta dish. It was okay. I thought it was a bit one dimensional with how strong the citrus flavor was, but it was certainly pretty. The sides we got were delicious, especially the mushrooms.

To close off, they gave us a bit of sorbet (may have been ice cream) that I believe was passion fruit flavored. It had a bit of granola. That was great! We also ordered the soufflé. I'm not a big soufflé guy but man, it was AMAZING. Maybe the best thing I had here! Definitely get it.“

“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.“

“Excellent restaurant, delicious food and the best service!“

“Had dinner at the bar. Food was great, service from bartenders Reggie and Cody excellent. Very attentive to everyone on a very busy night.“

“Great food and great atmosphere. But more importantly, the level of service was impeccable. Every server was extremely friendly and efficient. And the Manager, Tim, took the time to walk around, greet tables and discuss the menu. We had such a great experience our first night, we went back again the next night. We come to Orlando frequently and this will definitely be on our List of go-to spots.“

“We went for dinner last night for the first time and we all 10/10 recommend. My husband had Combo A and 2 of us had the meals that you can pick which seafood you want. It was all incredible. I don’t know where you found Luis. That kid has THE best customer service skills that I have ever experienced in my life. He looked like he was maybe 16 and he did better than any adult I’ve ever received customer service from. We will go back!“

“Ate here for the first time with my family of 5. Food was fantastic and our server Jarule is the man!!!“

“Was really good the snow crab,shrimp, muscles, and craw dads with the corn sausage and potatoes. Yum“

“Every time I am in the mood for assorted seafood, I head to King Cajun. They are a simple unassuming place in BayHill plaza on Turkey lake Rd. Always the same server who is quite friendly, takes his time in helping answer questions and makes good suggestions. The sausages they serve with the seafood is all beef. The corn and potatoes that accompany the seafood are cooked perfectly as is the seafood. We get the tray that has plenty of large shrimp, snow crab clusters and lobster tails. Portions are generous and the price is right. The shabang sauce that accompanies the seafood is delicious.“

“hun bediening. hun vriendelijkeid en behulpzaamheid. je hoefde niet lang te wachten op het eten“

“Hands down the best dining service experience my family and I have ever had at Walt Disney World — and that is saying a lot. We are longtime Disney guests and annual passholders who have been coming for decades, and we have very high standards for service. Gary exceeded them in every possible way.

Gary was warm, genuine, and truly made us feel special from start to finish. He took the time to connect with us, was funny and incredibly kind, and provided service that felt sincere rather than scripted. His attention to detail and thoughtfulness were outstanding, and to say he went above and beyond would be an understatement.

Our entire table was so impressed that I made a point to personally thank the restaurant manager before we left. Gary is the epitome of what great hospitality — and Disney-level service — looks like. If you’re dining at Flying Fish, you are incredibly lucky if Gary is your server.“

“We were there this evening. Just fabulous: great food, great service. No frills. The best oysters, clam chowder and corn on the cob with a pitcher of beer.“

“Food was tasty. The natural juices was amazing. The Bolon was so good. Going back tomorrow to try different dishes.“

“Always amazing crabs and shrimp. They are the best in Central Florida.“

“Delicious crab legs and great service.“

“Manny gave us GREAT service.“

“Amazing experience hands down! Food was exquisite. Staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable. A great concluding meal to our trip!“

“CB Bistro is the best place in central Florida for live music and the food is absolutely amazing. The staff is very professional and attentive. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great time“

“Bubba gump orlando is THE best!! literally like an hr ago, they gave us an ice cream sandwich with sprinkles and wished us a happy anniversary!!!!! in the whole city walk, they have THE best gift shop! Just cannot get enough of the place! GO there!“

“I stopped by here today for the first time & I have to say omg everything was so delicious. I got the fish & fries & they were hot, fresh, & cooked to order. The fried fish was seasoned just right. I also had their specialty fruit punch mixed with lemonade & it was right on point, you have to try it. Everyone was so kind. I will definitely be back when I’m in the area. Highly recommend.“

“Norigami Orlando is the rare kind of spot that makes you shut up mid-bite and just nod like an idiot. Two people, one tiny room, and somehow they're running a whole theatre of flavour without the usual omakase cosplay. Start with the truffle situation: not “truffle oil nonsense”, actual depth — earthy, savoury, and placed with intent. Then the chef's mini omakase hits like a sequence of clean, confident decisions. The eel? Properly brave: rich, glossy, balanced, and the kind of bite that makes you realise you've been settling for mediocre unagi elsewhere. Sashimi here is the point. Perfect cuts, zero ragged edges, fish that tastes alive, and knife work that shows restraint instead of ego. Wagyu lands exactly where it should — decadent, but not a blunt instrument. And the handmade pieces (the ones you eat by hand, as they should be) are absurdly good: tight rice, clean seasoning, and toppings that don't bully the fish. The little mats set the vibe — intimate, focused, quietly playful — and the service is all signal, no noise. Just a two-person team slinging it all with calm precision, timing everything, watching the room, and never dropping the thread. If you want safe, boring sushi, go elsewhere. If you want skill, nerve, and genuinely great eating, Norigami is it. What I loved most is the judgement. Every “brave” choice still feels disciplined — no stunt toppings, no sloppy heat, no sweet sauces drowning things. It's umami, texture, temperature: warm rice against cool fish, crisp where you want it, soft fat where it matters. And because it's only two of them, you're not getting conveyor-belt energy. You're getting eyes-up hospitality and pacing that actually respects the food. Orlando doesn't deserve something this dialled-in. But you do. Sit down, eat with your hands, and let the cuts do the talking....“

“This was by far the best character dining experience we have had! So much to enjoy, beautiful presentation of the food and everything we tried was amazing. The pork was so tender and the prime rib tasted amazing. All three appetizers were delicious and the dessert were definitely the star of the show, not including the characters of course. Would definitely recommend“

“Simply delicious and fabulous“

“Well prepped food, clean establishment and good service. Go get Spoiled. 🤤👌“

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

“You looking for good seafood broil this is it!! We got the family size!! 3 side Hush puppies, Corn nuggets. Onoins Rings. Me and my Man killed the tray!! Great flavor not salty like other places. Not over Cooked. Definitely will order again!!“

“Hands down the best seafood I have had in a very long time. I was lucky to try this great food at a food truck Friday. The chicken and shrimp, my wife and 3 year old enjoyed. I went with the shrimp and crab. It was amazing. Fresh cooked to order. It came with potatoes, sausage and an ear of corn all smothered in this amazing homemade butter.I could go on and on about how great this meal was. And normally I don’t write about food, but this deserves 5 stars and more.I hope they are back in my town again next month because I really want to try the lobster.Great customer service and great people all around. Give them a try and you will not be disappointed.“

“Great food and good service. Our server wasn't unattentive but he wasn't Johnny on the spot either. I had the tuna and it was excellent. Wifey had the NY strip and it was quality and cooked perfectly. The noise was a little much but it is in a family hotel so there were many screaming children. Overall it was worth the noise.“

“A must visit lakeside gem with a fantastic atmosphere, and gorgeous waterfront views, Grills Lakeside Seafood Deck in Orlando completely delivers. I and my friends had the best dining experiences. The ambiance right on the water is spectacular, but the food is what truly stole the show. The Mahi Fish Tacos was absolutely phenomenal. It was perfectly cooked, incredibly fresh, and packed with flavor. Every bite was the perfect balance of texture and taste-easily some of the best fish tacos in town. Lastly, the crispy chicken fingers were flawlessly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. The service was friendly, the vibes were immaculate, and I already can't wait to go back for round two. Highly recommended!“

“The service, lobster and shrimp tacos were great!“

“Best fried food this side of heaven.“

“Always amazing food! Everything on the menu is fantastic. Friendly service and very clean. Love both locations!“

“Some of thee best food Orlando has to offer!!!“

“fresh seafood and fair pricing“

“Love/Hate on vacation from KY. love the fish and conch seafood rice amazing food friendly staff. Hate I live 12+ hours away it’s worth a weekend trip fly down and eat.“

“live that's all I got to say“

“The service is good and people is amazing, Nicolás is the Best server at the area and Rafa the Best food runner and Jordan is the Best doing bussing . Really recommended to go have a great time with family. Nachos and cuban sándwich is the Best of the menú“

“I was visiting Orlando last weekend, and just started turning corners. I pulled into the gas station in Ocoee, saw the food truck, and decided to check it out. I am so glad I did. I ordered the conch fritters and cracked conch with pigeon peas and rice. The conch fritters were a bit greasy but delicious. In every bite, I was able to taste the herbs as well as the conch. The sauce was amazing. The marrying of the flavors in the conch fritters and the sauce was divine. The cracked conch was perfectly fried, and the pigeon peas and rice was tasty. The next time I'm in the greater Orlando area, I will be returning.“

“Never judge a book by it's cover. This place puts all its heart and effort into its walk up counter service and its delicious, cook-to-order, piping hot, fried seafood presented to you in styrofoam to-go containers. I love fried catfish and ordered the 3-piece catfish dinner. It was undoubtedly the best I've ever had. Each fillet sized between wrist and hand width and container length, completely covering the perfectly crisp seasoned fries that occupied ⅓ of the box's stuffed interior. The rest of my group ordered popcorn and jumbo shrimp dinners. Their portions and comments matched my own.

There are only 3-4 tables to choose from if dining-in, and maybe a dozen chairs in all. Also, previous patrons had somehow locked both restrooms and made off with the keys. Again, their focus is great food -- keep focused and be rewarded.

So, put your blinders on from the moment you enter the parking lot until you leave it. You'll be back again and again -- in-person with your friends if you're a local or in your fond memories and travel stories if you're just passing through.“

“great place to grub if you're feeling like eating seafood“
