New American Restaurants near Winter Garden, FL

“I adore Fresh Kitchen - the best restaurant I've found in the area to eat a gluten/dairy/meat free dinner that is also low in salt! That's because two of the managers know my restrictions and automatically put together a delicious bowl that I can safely eat (rice, chickpeas, kale, red pepper, almond slices, etc) - and it's delicious! Yesterday, I took my bowl home, added fresh sliced peaches and avocado, enough then to split into two meals. It was awesome.“

“Amazing Service, and friendly staff..“

“My husband, Al, and I dined at the Chef's Table on Feb 19 2024 and celebrated my birthday. We ordered from the chef's tasting menu and could not have been more pleased. It was one of the best restaurant meals we have had in a very long time. You see I am a classically trained and award-winning chef in my own right so my standards are quite high and I am, more often than not, disappointed in restaurants, even fine dining establishments. Al started with the "Heartbreaker" Cocktail, which was excellent then he had the mushroom and chive crepe torte for an appetizer, exceptional and enough for 2 to share actually so we brought part of it back to the hotel and had it for lunch the next day. He then chose the Duck confit, also outstanding. For dessert he had the chocolate torte with the toasted marshmallow ice cream and caramel sauce, again, beyond delicious and the ice cream was the best thing i've had in my mouth in a long time. Al also did the wine pairing with his courses. I sampled each pairing and they were perfectly matched. I tried the Mr. Pink as an aperitif and loved every drop but the pink peppercorn's stole the show. Then I started with the foie gras. Every bite just brings you to your knees. This was the main reason we selected The Chef's Table to begin with because I had to have foie gras. I chose the filet for my entree and I must say it may have been one of the best filet's i've ever eaten. Cooked perfectly medium rare with a char that was to die for. I brought part of my filet back to the hotel to go with the torte for lunch the next day. Even warmed up it was delicious. For dessert I had the mission fig bread pudding, which had a fantastic texture and was the perfect level of sweetness. I paired the pecan pie martini with it and it was decadent and complimented the dessert perfectly. I did not opt for the wine pairing as a sip of two from Al's were enough for me. Our server, JJ, was attentive, funny, and generous with her time. The manager came by twice to chat with us. The atmosphere was romantic but not stuffy and we had a great view of the kitchen, which as a chef is simply theatre for me. Lastly, the prices were not stupid. This kind of tasting menu can easily run well over $100 pp without the wine pairing. I appreciate the fact that, while affordable, it was elegant and indulgent. We will never visit Orlando again without returning to The Chef's Table and I will recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you for such an amazing experience. Amanda & Al Fraioli“

“Went an hour prior to closing on Friday. Food came out super quick. Everything was delicious as usual! Buey Magoos never dissapoints when it comes to consistency. The guy taking orders was a bit distracted and we had to repeat the order a couple of times. But will give the benefit of the doubt that it was time to go home and he was tired. Everything else was just perfect!“

“Good fast service, clean kitchen, friendly people, and AMAZING food. 100% recommend and will be back. The sausage gravy is the best I've had not from my own kitchen. Come hungry and taste the maple tap coffee ☕“

“Always amazing! Great for any occasion...staff is responsive and food is fantastic!“

“Nice intimate mall-type atmosphere with outdoor eating area. Very nice!“

“My friend and I have been going there for years. We love the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. We always order the same thing and it is usually quite tasty.“

“Food was delicious and something different than the usual chain restaurants“

“Always a great experience at the Sandlake Seasons 52! I always make a reservation just in case bc they can get busy. From the moment you arrive you are greeted and taken care of! Our server was excellent and ensured that we got out in a timely manner. Thank you Kiera M. (We had theatre tickets so it was not a lingering type of dinner.) Can't say enough nice things about our favorite restaurant!“

“The food and service was great. It was incredibly loud though. Had to yell to hear the person sitting across from me.

Kid-friendliness: Don't recommend taking your little one here without noise cancelling headphones.“

“Just wanted to thank Sierra for her service when I come w my friends. She always makes everything easy, suggest different things, and never makes us feel like a burden with complicated orders. This place is very convenient in location and to watch the game and fights. Thank you again, Sierra!“

“What can I say, I’ve been here quite a few times. Today was my favorite time ever being here actually. I decided to let whatever server I got, choose everything I ate. And Aurora did not disappoint. I asked her about seafood and she told me why the lobster tacos might be the way to go. She talked about flavor balancing between different menu items and tried to explain to me all the showcasing of the different seafood and how it worked for flavor profiles. I asked her about side dishes to go with it. She told me all the standard side dishes and she saw that I was not over excited by any of the offerings and she suggested maybe the premium truffle ranch potatoes might be what I’m looking for. She was not wrong on any of it. Lobster was cooked to perfection and all of the items placed on that taco belong there. She was right the balance was there. I was surprised when I got the fries. I thought it was going to be drenched and something, but it wasn’t. But I tasted the truffle and the ranch and the sauce and the side was perfect next to those crispy fries. I did not want to jinx myself so I had her decide my dessert unknown to her what I was doing. She chose the pistachio bread pudding. Not something I would ever get. It was delicious. I’m not going to lie. My only complaint is it needs more ice cream because it is so decadent and rich. Just get an extra side dish of more ice cream, you’ll thank me. Aurora you are a great server and I hope RusTeak knows it. Thank you for making tonight epic for me. I am stuffed and happy.“

“Good service and Nice atmosphere.“

“La comida es deliciosa. El servicio es excelente. Dany es bien cortés y servicial. Volveré.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, and I can confidently say it was an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal without being intrusive. Their knowledge of the menu and wine list added a special touch to the evening.

Now, let’s talk about the food – it was truly exceptional. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients were fresh, and you could taste the care and creativity in every bite. The chef really knows how to elevate every meal to something memorable. I recommend the Pork chop!

Overall, the combination of outstanding service and top-notch cuisine makes this place a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning soon!“

“Wonderful experience and amazing atmosphere coupled with great service and exquisite food!“

“I haven't been to Orlando in awhile but if God is willing the first meal I have when i get back will be here! This place is the real deal.“

“We just love this place. Visit every time we are in the area. The chef and staff are wonderful. Food is exceptionally delicious.“

“This was a one of a kind, very hard to find experience here in the states. Dining culture is rushed and the customer is tossed the check after they’ve messed up your order, no diss to anyone in this business, I understand it’s just a volume/revenue thing.

In short, all areas of this experience were 5 stars. He took our order and listened and made sure it was correct. He assured us his food was made fresh and demonstrated so as he pulled out the ingredients and started placing them in the grill and seasoning. Everything looked exceptionally clean. There were myriad condiments available. He was generous with the portions and provided napkins and utensils. We sat at the furthest table away and he walked all the way to bring us condiments to enjoy. After we were all done he asked if our food was good, which it was! It was hot, fresh, delicious and meticulously made! I was astounded at how the burger was assembled in such an efficient way and not just tossed together.
Buns were toasted, cheese was melted. Patty sat on top of the lettuce, ensuring the bottom bun didn’t get soggy with grease, and below a juicy tomato. The corndog batter was so tasty and slightly sweet, the dog was very delicious and the outside was hit with a hint of salt bringing a very nice flavor to it.
It is evident this gentleman holds very high standards of service, cleanliness cooking AND kindness. Thank you for this refreshing experience, we were lucky to find you today.“

“Marvelous happy hour! We actually had dinner there one night and returned for happy hour the next!“

“❤️ Absolutely amazing is Mr quick.“

“Everything was perfect ! Servers are amazing !“

“I have no idea what the people who rated this establishment lower are talking about. The service, food, atmosphere and general ambiance were exceptional. After dining in some of the higher end resort hotels in Disney this Universal treat beats them hands down. Even with the construction maze one has to navigate that may detract a bit one must remember it is not the fault of the restaurant and they more than make up for this slight inconvenience by their service.“

“Green Eggs and Ham Cafe is my favorite snack spot in all of Universal Studios Orlando. The tots are delicious, filling and can even be a quick meal. I had the Who Hash which was fantastic and you get a cute souvenir can. Service is pretty quick and there are lots of seating options nearby.“

“Totally recommended Last year I got the opportunity to get the best relax experience Hyatt was a beautiful place with different areas for kids and adults very convenient there are 3 difference ambients restaurants . Rooms very comfortable all wonderful the personal top 10 . 2 weeks totally what I aspect for a confortable hotel . The Gym is full equipment very good I’ll go again in August!!! Ready with my new booking 🫶🏽❤️ Have a lovely day Good energy 🌸“

“Comida deliciosa, las alitas de pollo de las mejores que me he comido, las Pupusas 🫓, realmente que todo recomendado.“

“Bula Bar seemed like a good place to enjoy the pool, watch sports and take a cold drink. On the other hand, the food is not recommended, at high prices and not so good in taste. Regarding service, my waitress was nice but she completely forgot my pizza order and when I ordered something different the food didn't take long but it wasn't what I ordered. The passion fruit smoothie was good and the Piña Colada was one of the best I've ever had.

Parking: Paid parking garage of the Resort.

Wheelchair accessibility: Great accessibility for wheelchairs.“

“Soooo... Robert Gordon, when you asked if the kitchen was open and was told there's no kitchen here, then huffed that "your website says you have a kitchen " and were told "we don't have a website.," did it occur to you that you might have your parties muddled?A little critical analysis might have led to the discovery that you looked up "The Tap Room at Dubsdred" in College Park, which, in fact, has a wonderful kitchen."Florida Tap Room in Metro West", located, surprisingly, in Metro West, has been a neighborhood staple for 20 years (never had a kitchen).Yes, I was sitting next to you. The "lady bartender" was neither "snotty " nor unpleasant in any way.Thank you for promptly leaving, and Jessica thanks you for the .25 tip.“

“This place has the BEST chicken tenders, I believe I've ever eaten. Everything on the menu is delicious. My favorites are the Buffalo Tender Sandwich, and Buffalo Tender Salad. The Blackberry Lemonade/Sweet Tea "Arnold Palmer" is the drink for me!!! The only negative I have, is their metal chairs, are not comfortable at all.“

“I am not sure what it is with this place. There is no music. It is quiet. People come in and at with to-go orders. There is the occasional person that comes into the place to sit and it. It is a very weird vibe - can’t explain it. The chicken is phenomenal and the fries and ranch are on another level. Amazing food. Just the atmosphere and service is non-existent.“

“My husbands ordered a burger and fries and i ordered the mahi salad, and I have to say it was AMAZING. We loved the food and the customer service. They were on top of everything asking if we needed anything with a smile on their face. The atmosphere was very good and it was a clean establishment. Will be coming back for sure.“

“Good family fun Great service“

“I was always taught , if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all. Soooooooo................... I even ask to pay for bread.“

“This place must have had change in management - no idea why rating is so low. Food was awesome. Gluten free options for my girls were amazing. The GF truffle Mac and cheese was a favorite. The filet steak was really good. Magicians on Friday night was a super fun touch.“

“I really enjoyed the food and selection was amazing. I has the curry really filling and they give you lots of meat. If you can go on a fri or sat because of the buffet and it's great value. If you are staying at the hotel connected, would highly recommend. Dinner can be $$$ depending on what you order.“

“We went to the Clermont, Sonny’s BBQ location.for lunch. The staff was welcoming when we entered the restaurant. We were then sat at a table and the waitress took our drink orders. She brought us our drinks and took our orders. The waitress was friendly, organized and attentive. We tried the new street corn appetizer- that was really good. The fresh chips went very well with the dip. We also ordered burgers, salad and the BBQ egg rolls. All of the food was well prepared and tasted delicious . I would highly recommend this Sonny’s.“

“Anniversary dinner. ordered the special of New York strip steak and lobster with a pear salad . Chilean sea bass with mashed potatoes cauliflower and potatoes. sautéd spinach. all seasoned to perfection flavorful and moist. complimentary tiramisu for our anniversary was incredible balance of coffee salted caramel and crunchy layer of chocolate presentation was beautiful almost to pretty to eat.“

“I am NOT a minions person, but the atmosphere is still fun and the food we chose was phenomenal. Gru's porkbelly sandwhich and the minion fries are surprisingly great and the asian chicken/noodles are incredible with a unique flavor (though could use more of the chicken seasoning on the noodles). Been three times, consistently good.“

“good friends,and all the bartenders and servers. best family place to be and if , you show,alone. it's safe ,family,away,from original,family. bikers are welcome. night all. just smile 😍“

“Tony and the staff went out of their way to take care of my party. They were very kind and made sure we got everything we wanted . I would absolutely return to this location. And send everybody I know there.“

“As far as theme park food goes, their pizza is pretty decent. The breadsticks are delicious. But, of course you are paying theme park prices. Your given the choice between 3 combos which include what is about a 10" pizza (cheese, pepperoni, or meatlover), and a small salad. Breadsticks and deserts are also available. So, is it worth the price? The cheese combo will run you just about $18 after tax, and if you want breadsticks, those are about $4 for two sticks and a very small cup of sauce.If you really need pizza in your life at the moment, then it will satisfy your craving but will put a good dent in your budget.“

“I love their pizzas, the staff is very attentive and friendly, and the food comes out freshly made, so you have to wait for it to come out and it's not long, and it's really worth the wait, the cheese breads are delicious. I recommend.“

“Backwater Bar is co-located with Confisco restraunt. This is a great place to walk in and get you H2O water or you favorite adult beverage. It is a full service walk up bar with lots of beer, wine, and they can make the liquor drink of your choice. There is no seating inside, but they have shaded seating just outside the door. The staff is friendly and want you to have a nice experience.“

“This restaurant is the absolute best place we have eaten in the entire state of Florida! My sister, my husband and I wandered into this restaurant a couple months ago & much to our surprise enjoyed our lunch so much more than all the other restaurants we have tried in the area. Fast forward to today - it was Mom's 90th birthday, we wanted to make it special & have a great meal. Black Rock Bar & Grill did not disappoint. Everything from the appetizers, drinks, and entrees were fantastic! We are super picky - not one complaint from anyone in our party. The service was spectacular - friendly, personable and professional! The staff made my mother's day by bringing a specially prepared dessert to the table as a surprise at the end of the meal! Thank you to everyone who made this day a wonderful memory, we will definitely be recommending & bringing our friends/family here! ❤️“

“I had my 40th birthday party at the Metrowest Golf Club and it was amazing! It was practically 1 stop shopping because Andrea Serrano took care of the catering/food restrictions, bar-tending, tables, linens, and chairs. I had been planning this event for a year and Andrea stayed in contact and answered any and all questions I had. All of my guests had an incredible time and I would recommend them to anyone hosting an event.“

“Great service and I got to eat this for free on the VIP tour with two starters, all entrees for each person as well as dessert! Really big portions and great key lime pie! The pad Thai was excellent and almost exactly like the ones in Thailand and the ribs were so nicely grilled! Really recommend to try!“

“Great service and very good and tastey food“

“Went on a Thursday Latin Night. Place was great. Loved the live band that performed classic salsa music. Bartender (can't remember name,,cutie with glasses) very friendly and made perfect drinks. DJ was on point, played reggaeton, bachata, cumbia and salsa. One of the best spots I have ever been to.“
