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“

“We ordered Huey Magoo’s catering from Winter Garden for a graduation party. The food was excellent, our guests enjoyed it. We ordered chicken, dips, salad, chips and cookies. The service was excellent - they had everything ready on time and the team was very polite. The price was great too. This made our party easy and enjoyable for everyone! Thank you!“

“Dont review often but wow. So good. Had the steak tacos. Steak was like a soft jerky. Reminds me of pemmican premium soft jerky, not chewy, if you know you know. Mimosa was great had the Sunrise edition with fresh squeeze OJ and Cranberry. Biscuits and jelly 🔥 . Waffles were great. All around absolutely worth it. Will be back!“

“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“

“Attention to detail and great overall service. Hosted a book club event here and the front staff made sure we got our table overlooking the lake. The noise level was high but the service and atmosphere were fantastic. Seasons 52 is great for any type of occasion.“

“Pro tip: Reserve your spot online before you go. The website lets you enter your party size and gives an estimated wait time, which was surprisingly accurate. It even uses your location and tells you when you're close enough to check in.

We visited on a game night at Icon Park, and the restaurant was packed, but we were seated in less than 10 minutes.

Our waiter, Matt, was amazing, and the food did not disappoint. The Cali Roll Stack was my favorite appetizer because it was made with real crab instead of imitation crab. We also enjoyed the Parmesan truffle fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, spinach dip, and the vegan Gardein wings in Korean chili garlic and Buffalo flavors.

I also tried the Key Lime Cider, and I appreciated that Matt let me sample it before ordering. It was refreshing and made it easy to find something I liked.

The lobster garlic noodles were outstanding and loaded with big chunks of real lobster. For dessert, we shared the brownie cookie topped with ice cream, and even as someone who doesn't usually like chocolate desserts, I loved it.

Parking was easy, with free parking available on levels 3 and 4 of the garage.

Great food, great service, easy parking, and a short wait despite how busy it was. 10/10, highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“omg... First time here. Laura Corona our server AMAZING!! Sophia our manager AWESOME!“

“Victoria was excellent! She was attentive and made great recommendations. Can’t wait to go back again!“

“❤️ Absolutely amazing is Mr quick.“

“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 actually ate here for lunch and dinner. Great menu and service. Gary was so accommodating to our needs. The menu has many different options and the food is delicious. It's located in Island of Adventures and is perfect for a nice sit down meal.“

“We come here every single weekend and this is by far the best restaurant in Clermont. From the food to the service, you can’t go wrong. A DEFINITE must-try.“

“The Who Hash is an absolute must! This is a fantastic snack if you don't want to eat a full meal while also needing something filling. The Who Has has tater tots with a cheddar sauce, scallions, & corned beef. Definitely the best snack in the park! We are so glad we found this YouTube as a recommendation!“

“Everything was perfect ! Servers are amazing !“

“Delicious burgers. I had the Maverick loved it. The chili cheese fries were also very good. Loved the sauce of the killer bee sandwich. Spicy and garlic very delicious. The service could of been better, but overall good place to get beers and burgers.“

“I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place to stay before flying out. I stay at this hotel every time I go down to Orlando and it is very convenient to book for your next day flight. The restaurants are great. The staff is amazing. The balcony view is unmatched. It is a little more expensive to stay here compared to your average hotel, but you won’t regret picking this Hotel over every other one out there. Spend the cash and stay here. It’s worth it.“

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

“Staff was extremely friendly. My wife has food allergies and can it be tough to eat at places that are willing to accommodate as well as handle the food properly. It was our first time here and the staff and our server took good care of us from start to finish. Highly recommend anyone going here if you’re staying at the hotel. Prices are as reasonable as you can get given a great atmosphere and staff.“

“I’ve been coming to Royal Pacific since 2005. And having enjoyed going to the Islands Restaurant. I’ve had many Servers throughout my times going to Islands Dining. But my most recent visit I must admit Server Mustafo (Sorry if I misspelled his name). Mustafo was BY FAR the best Server I’ve had in Islands in a while. And that’s saying a lot. Because a lot (if not all) the Servers) in Islands are AMAZING!! But Mustafo set the bar MUCH HIGHER. Mustafo ensured that we were taken care of the whole time. And made us feel like we were at home. He should definitely be rewarded for his amazing Service and attention to detailed. If you want Amazing service be sure to ask for Mustafo“

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

“A hidden gem in the park! We finally found someone ( Daniella) who knows her stuff. It has been a frustrating 3 days with people that are clueless to our questions. Daniella was on the ball. Please go and see her at the bar! While there, check out the humus. Delicious!“

“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.“

“I really wish you could get just the tenders because they are the star here. Hot, flavorful and a good size. Tried 3 different sauces (sweet chili, spicy magoo’s and bbq) the sweet chili was the clear winner. The spicy magoos is just your typical cane’s sauce with buffalo sauce mixed in and the bbq is just sweet baby ray’s. The fries are regular crinkle cut fries and they claim that they also give you Texas toast but it’s just a piece of toasted white American bread. Nothing Texas about it. So come for the fantastic tenders and then just eat as much of the normal stuff as you can. The 4 stars comes from just the incredibly nice staff and the tenders AND be sure to at least try their sweet watermelon tea, that was fantastic too.“

“From the moment we walked in the manager Gokhan couldn't do enough for us. The food is great so we decided to go back another night while we were on our vacation. Laura was our server and she was excellent. The place is clean, excellent food and you're welcomed from the time you go in. I'm very happy with the new management because I say at the Hyatt Regency In Orlando every yr.“

“Recommended to have a reservations so I sat at the bar. Love that they accommodate food allergies. I really enjoy their steak and the bartenders were very inviting with samples of wine to find the perfect pick. I enjoyed the atmosphere which was fun, elegant and inviting.“

“Good atmosphere, plenty of Tv's to watch all sports. Bar and high top table seating. 4 pool tables, a Golden Tee, and Touch Tunes music. Most of the time the Bartender chooses a stream music station and so far they have excellent taste.
FYI - Smoking Is Allowed in facility, includes vape, cigars, and cigarettes.“

“Our family loves Huey Magoo’s! The chicken is lightly breaded and the sauces are so yummy. My husband likes the Magoo’s sauce and I like the honey mustard. We first discovered them 15 years at the UCF location when our daughter was attending and we have been fans ever since. Everything at Huey’s is great, from the tenders, bites, wraps, sandwiches and salads.“

“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.“

“Good family fun Great service“

“I called to place a order around 10:45pm. first I ask what time do they close and the lady/Manager over the phone told me 11pm , I was like omg I get off @11pm but I’m craving a pizza she then ask what time will I make it to pick up , I told her around 11:05-11:10 . She mad it happen for me!! I want to thank her soo much , I think her name is Sarah or Tarah.“

“This was the best choice made this weekend! The food was amazing. Buffet had everything we could have asked for. The staff was super friendly and the waitress made the morning. We will most certainly be recommending to anyone and well as stopping back whenever we can.“

“Today was one of my favorites. Smoked turkey sandwich with fries. Others at the table had briskit with green beans it looked great, and pulled pork with tots and Mac & cheese. All good food the restaurant was very clean and Sean provided great service.“

“Wow guys - this was actually pretty good for theme park food. I love the restaurant it was so fun. I’ve passed it 100 times and never looked twice. The food was much better than I expected, flavor combinations were elevated, and prices weren’t insane. I would come back here next time I’m at the park“

“We have seen all of the viral videos about the cones. The videos don't do it justice! I think the meatball is underrated and needs more attention. These aren't basic meatballs. They retain moisture and the bread is crispy on the outside and soaks up flavor on the inside. I highly recommend the meatball cone, but I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with either choice!“

“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.“

“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.“
