Maxine’s on Shine

337 N Shine Ave., 407-674-6841
”This is a great neighborhood place, with artisanal food and live music. Sunday Brunch is definitely bustling, and is not a place for intimate conversation! The cheese plate offers a nice selection with appropriate accompaniments. Deviled eggs were also nicely done, with some exotic spices. Hot chicken and waffles relied on a spicy barbeque sauce rather than a Nashville preparation. Service was attentive, and the music was good.” – Steve A.

RusTeak

101 S Eola Drive, 407-601-5219
”I ordered the pan seared mussels my mate ordered KFC chicken and the tomato jam jar. The chicken came first fresh out the oil fried perfectly, the Korean bbq sauce wasn't overbearing and let the chicken flavor shine through. I was Particularly taken aback by the tomato jam jar... the sweetness of the tomato is something I haven't ever experienced before and married nicely with the ricotta cheese. The mussels came in a huge bowl heavily flavored by the sautéed garlic and herbs, the white wine and tomatoes tempering the sharpness of those flavors perfectly. I am impressed... I'm writing this review as I wait for my check, I cannot wait to bring my foodie friends to experience this food. Good job RusTeak!” – Gabryel C.

The Monroe

448 N. Terry Ave.., (407) 734-2102
” Great for drinks & great for food! What more can you want? It's owned by the same owners of Reyes and you can tell from how aesthetic The Monroe is! I absolutely love the decor and vibe of this restaurant. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, drinks, a date night, a GNO, birthdays, and literally any occasion!.” -Sara P.

The Ravenous Pig

565 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park, 407-628-2333
"The Ravenous Pig is hands down one of the best restaurants in Orlando. Their ever-changing menu is consistently exciting and delicious. Both brunch and dinner are amazing. Favorite dinner dishes that I've had include Ricotta Agnolloti, the Cheese & Charcuterie Boards (ALWAYS good), and Crab Tortellini (incredible). Awesome brunch dishes I've had include Elvis French Toast (heavenly), Loaded Hash Browns, Biscuits & Gravy, and Chicken & Waffles. Their ingredients are top-notch and so much love & attention to detail goes into every dish. Cannot rave about this place enough." – Ash W.

Capa Steakhouse & Bar

10100 Dream Tree Blvd, Disney World, 407-313-6840
”All if the great stories you've heard about Capa are true! This steakhouse doesn't just put quality in their food, but also in their service! I came in in steak! However we received much more! We started with drinks as I ordered the "In Spanish Fashion" which started as a drink similar to an old fashioned, but it slowly turned into a Manhattan. This information was provided by our awesome server, Michael who also recommended the beverage for my taste. There are also some mocktails in the menu, for children or anyone who doesn't want alcohol, but the feel of a cocktail.” – Travis J.

Oudom Thai & Sushi

100 S Eola Dr., 407-849-3739
”Oudom is one of my favorite Thai/sushi restaurants in all of Orlando. Their sushi is super fresh, so many options, and happy hour is great too! The real winner for me is their Thai food. My husband and I traveled to Thailand in 2017 and fell in love with spicy green curry. Since then, we've search high and low throughout Orlando to find a restaurant that makes curry like they do in Thailand, and Oudum is the winner! They use Thai eggplant, keffir limes, and all of the same ingredients in true Thai curries. It's so delicious and we only come to Oudum for Thai food now. Always great service too.” – Jenna L.

Kres Chophouse

17 W Church St., 407-447-7950
”Fantastic date night experience in the heart of downtown Orlando! We were seated right away for our dinner reservation and told the menu changes daily. We opted for the warm spinach and bacon salad because well, bacon, and heirloom tomatoes are never a bad start. I opted for the ribeye while hubs went for the New York strip. Both came out quickly and were great cuts. Truly a great dinner that will be remembered!” – Holly F.

Veranda

1700 W Sand Lake Rd , (407) 730-9190
”My wife and I wanted to try this place for a while, finally made it here in after new years. My beautiful wife is Romanian so it's always good to find a place to dine with good mititei and samarle. Is the food good? Well, my wife makes the best, but this would come close to second” -Derek C.

Prato

124 N. Park Ave., Winter Park, 407-262-0050
”Prato is a gem on Park Avenue. It's a great area to walk or have some wine or brunch. Today it's the Italian red Sangiovese, a light lunch red wine that's delicious to the palette. Followed by the sweet potato ravioli. A light dish, considered to be vegetarian but I love ravioli. The atmosphere is fun, a lot of young adults. This is a great happy house spot or lunch or dinner.” – Maritza S.

Santiago’s Bodega

802 Virginia Dr., 407-412-6979
This place is the best place I've ever been for brunch. It's all you can eat and drink. They have so many good items. I love the crab legs and you MUST try the croissant French toast. I love sitting outside. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. I can't say enough about the service too. Everyone is nice and friendly. I've been here probably 20 times and always have a good experience. I would say this is the best brunch in Orlando” – Eddie P.

Café Tu Tu Tango

”We went all in and had the jalepeno mac & cheese, deep fried alligator, street corn, hanger steak skewers, pickled shrimp toast, banana caramel pizza and tres leches cake, along with a carafe of sangria and a cappuccino to close the meal. Everything was very well prepared and super tasty. We loved the decor and ambiance and it was just a super fun place to be. Next time we are in Orlando we will definitely be stopping here for a meal!” – Kristi H.

Chatham’s Place

7575 Dr Phillips Blvd, 407-345-2992
”Our sommelier was so well versed in wines and helped with our selections. He was very proper and his suggestions were spot on to make the evening perfect. Actually, one guest brought a wonderful red from his own collection of fine wines, and I brought an excellent bottle of champagne from my collection. Our guests were so delighted with the champagne, I asked the sommelier to try a taste, and he loved it so that he took a picture of the label! From start to finish, our meal was phenomenal. Nothing was overlooked, not one detail missed; in other words: PERFECTION. This service team made sure our table was always swept clean of bread crumbs and such. That may be a small detail, but to me it is a sign of a classy and upscale dinner. The food was heavenly and the taste of each course was brilliant and well thought out by the chef.” – Cathy Sue E.

Mama Della’s Ristorante

5601 Universal Blvd, 407) 503-3463
"Honestly, it was like stepping into another world in Mama Dellas. The ambiance is just gorgeous and so authentic. The wait staff all have accents. It's so fancy I felt a little under dressed but nobody said anything. They were so sweet with my kids. They didn't have cherry pepsi but made it homemade at the bar. The food is great. Vegetarian options and romantic live music comes to your table. Mwah!” – Brandellan A.

”We tried them for the first time during Magical Dining 2021. Everything was excellent! Really rave worthy; fantastic drinks and service as well. Perfect little date night spot or night out with friends. Also, walking distance to the Amway Arena if you decide to see a show or a game after, it's perfect.” - Valerie V.

The Boathouse

1620 E Buena Vista Dr, Disney World, 407-939-2628
”I found out Gibson's owns The Boathouse so my expectations were high. I was not disappointed. The burger tasted straight from Gibson's all-around perfect burger. Seafood was top notch! Service was great and even offered local advice to us while we were traveling. Kids menu was perfect for our littles and the quality for them was above average for their meals as well. When visiting Disney Springs, this is the place to go!” – Katie D.

Hillstone Restaurant

215 S Orlando Ave, Winter Park, 407-740-4005
”One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Perfect for a date night or to celebrate a special occasion. Services was really good and the food was incredible. The only bad thing was the acoustics in some areas. When you're waiting to be seated or if you're near the bar area is very loud. Other than that everything was perfect.” – Stephanie F.
