Otto's High Dive
2304 E. Robinson St., Orlando
Otto's High Dive is no sleepy watering hole. It's a "neighborhood rum bar," alive with the din of tipplers who gather in this lush, design-forward space to down daiquiris, mojitos and Cuba libres — and plenty of Cuban fare.

Camille
4962 New Broad St., Orlando
The real draw at this new Baldwin Park spot is chef Tung Phan's creative and unconventional spins on Vietnamese dishes, all punctuated with classical French flourishes — dishes like Vietnamese coffee-crusted Wagyu with potato pâvé; espuma of pho; and green papaya with salmon and nước chấm.

Tori Tori
720 N. Mills Ave.
Tori Tori is both a modern cocktail bar and a hotspot to grab some traditional Japanese pub food in Orlando's Mills 50 district. From the mind of Domu's Sean "Sonny" Nguyen, the spot offers classic and creative cocktails, sake, beer and wine and eats like scallop crudo and wagyu gyoza.

Kabooki Sushi

Garp and Fuss
348 N. Park Ave., Winter Park
This spot packs a punch with out-of-the-box flavor pairings like buffalo cauliflower and butternut squash & apple soup. Garp and Fuss is the place to be if you’re trying to treat your date's taste buds to something new. So grab a seat in the beautiful indoor patio-esque dining room, with greenery crawling up the walls and the sun (or moon) shining through the windows overhead, and try some new eats.

Canvas Restaurant
13615 Sachs Ave., Orlando
Besides the gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows, the flashy yellow lamps and the brick walls, Canvas restaurant overlooks a beautiful lake with a partially covered patio. Try the oak-charred octopus, to really drive home that on-the-water feel.

Norman's
7924 Via Dellagio Way
After a three-year hiatus and a 16-year run at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes, Norman Van Aken's legendary eatery Norman's made a triumphant return in the Dr. Phillips area earlier this year. The menu's Latin-Caribbean DNA is still intact, but flavors from Japan and Southeast Asia expand on Van Aken's "New World" culinary vision.

Prato
124 N. Park Ave., Winter Park
Orlando Weekly readers' "best Italian restaurant" three years in a row, Prato scores huge with Orlandoans and visitors for its authentic Italian dishes. You’ll battle crowds to get a seat at this loud Park Avenue “it spot,” but once inside, the rustic Italian creations will justify the body-checking. As you can read in our Prato review, "You'd be hard-pressed to find better meatballs in the city, seriously."

Highball & Harvest
4012 Central Florida Parkway, Orlando
Don't be intimated by the name Ritz-Carlton; the Highball and Harvest is chill with a hint of chic. Although the bartenders have mastered slinging Old Fashioneds, the rotation of Florida brews on tap is very tempting, as well.
