Highly Recommended 14 Dinner Restaurants Near Orlando, Florida

Kirby Thornton It is definitely different with the 20% service charge and servers being commissioned based. But the service was good and the food was excellent. They also have a nice selection of craft beer with many local choices. When it comes to service, Im not sure what to make of it. However, we were well taken care of, and really that is all that matters. Plus, even though the servers are commissioned based, I never felt like we were being upsold or encouraged to order more.

Deborah Brady Wow! Do yourself a favor. Walk into this impressively clean restaurant, seat yourself at a beautifully modern and user friendly table, and order the tomato hot pot. Make yourself a concoction or two of heavenly sauces from the insanely wide variety they have and attack the INCREDIBLE spread! I must have eaten half my body weight in enoki and shimeji mushrooms as well as the thinly sliced lamb. Just a few seconds in the delicious pot cooks it to perfection. Finish off the meal by mixing up the coconut soy milk and sweet grass jelly desserts. This is soul - satisfying food. Really nice humans, too!

Lisa Delauder What an amazing place with delicious food! Latoya was our waitress for the evening. She greeted us with a friendly smile and stayed on top of everything with it being a busy night. Brought out drinks, took our orders and just made it easy breezy to enjoy every moment. She was our waitress when we came in for our 18th Anniversary. I was happy to have her attend to us again, because she was just that good at making the experience fun! Plus, as always, the food was phenomenal!! Thank you to her and the chefs once again to making Maggianos a fabulous place to dine!

Sunny isles I know it looks amazing but it also taste amazing too…. Those colorful slider burgers are moist, meaty and full of flavor. We also got the watermelon sour gummy drink. The place is spotless, and the staff go out of their way to make your visit a memorable one. We can’t wait to get back to try out their breakfast menu. The drive was definitely worth it!

Lekeitha Ward This was an amazing date night experience for us! The ambiance, the service and THE FOOD! OMG! Definitely some the best food Ive ever had in my life. Our server Hector and manager Alec were superb. The drinks were made perfectly and the lobster truffle melt was pure heaven. Alec invited us back for drinks and well definitely be back this while here on our Family Moon this week.

Heriberto Contreras Wonderful find! Great place to experience Brazilian cuisine. Prompt and friendly service surrounded by a clean and crisp dinning area that offers outside dining. Reasonably priced Churrasco Misto for 2 was a huge hit. Staff explained their menu and made suggestions, quickly gained our trust and allowed us to submerge ourselves into an array of flavors and spices. We will definitely be back!

Aaron Lee Del Mundo This place was great we enjoyed the atmosphere and ambience. Our server Enrico, was very well versed with the menu and kept checking on us. Their stakes were amazing and serving was swift. We had to hit the brakes because they were going around so quick. The buffet was pretty solid because they had so much selection. We highly recommend this place for any first timers. The price is well worthy for the service and experience.

Kingsley Michel Today is my wife’s birthday, and this was our first time dining here. Our server, Roger, was fantastic and gave excellent recommendations for both food and drinks. The Auburn experience is truly top‑notch — for a moment, I forgot I was even in Florida. This spot is definitely going on my list of places to dine whenever I’m in Orlando.

Ron Haggerton The hatch green chili here just makes me feel at home. From the heat of the ranch to the green chili sauce, it is just good. I’m not a huge Tex-Mex fan, but this food is so flavorful it is ridiculous. I had the steak burrito and the steak had suck a great char flavor and was incredibly tender. The green chili as indicated earlier was on point. My wife had the custom enchiladas with ground beef and, of course, hatch green chili sauce. It was also a fantastic meal. She also had the watermelon margarita and said it is great. The beans and rice were good, but it is honestly hard to mess up beans and rice. Our server Zahara was fantastic! She had a great attitude, a constant smile and time to listen to us gush about the green chili. I’ve been in several Chuy’s before, but this one on international drive is my new favorite.

Veronica Rios Amazing experience from start to finish. The service is a solid 10/10 and the food is absolutely delicious. Everything is highly recommended. Even when ordering takeout, they package everything with so much care and attention to detail. The staff at the bar is super friendly and welcoming. The lunch special is fantastic — great flavor and an excellent price. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients in every dish. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!

Lori Dubin We visited Voodoo Bayou today for brunch and we loved it. Very easily one of the best places to eat weve ever been to- a very close second to Lola Bistro in Cleveland (when it was open) We had the deviled eggs and gator tail apps, both of which were absolutely delicious. My husband had the prime rib, and said it was easily the best prime rib hes ever had. Our daughter had the chicken and waffles which beat out Roscoes Chicken and Waffles in LA. I had the Shrimp & Crawfish Étouffée, and it was amazing. The cherry on top were the Beignets. Our server Steven was very nice and helpful as well as attentive. The resteraunt is absolutely beautiful as well. Were so glad we stopped by!

Jeffrey S We chose this restaurant as part of Magical Dining and we were so glad we did! The main menu and special dining menu both had so many good options! We ordered from both menus! Travis our server was quick to assist us and gave great service. Our food was amazing! OMG, the desserts were an added surprise. The apple butter cake and the bread pudding were delicious! We can’t wait to return and try more of the menu options next time. Thanks for a great evening and dinner!

Alex Domashenko The restaurant is simply amazing. The food is incredible. My family has an unforgettable dinner after a very long day in Universal. I highly recommend the place especially to those who love meat.

Lesly Chacon Such a delicious experience at this Cuban restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. Our server, Sheila, was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond by accommodating a special off-menu request with ease and a smile. The manager, Steven, was equally welcoming and attentive, which truly elevated the experience. The food was rich, comforting, and full of flavor—the kind of meal that makes you want to come back again and again. On top of that, the space itself felt like a theater: warm, vibrant, and full of character. I absolutely loved the ambiance. Highly recommend for both the food and the experience!
