Nona Blue Modern Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (965) • $$

"Alright, let's talk about Nona Blue! This place is consistent - like that friend who always shows up on time but forgets the chips for the dip. The food? Absolutely spectacular, no doubt. But here's the twist - the portions are like that one pair of jeans that fit perfectly... last year. We're talking fine dining prices now, people! I don't remember paying this much for the same...I had the lobster pasta, and let me tell you, it was delish - like, call the lobster and thank it delish. But for $25? That pasta came in a side dish-sized bowl with a few chunks of lobster sprinkled on top like they were making a potion. Last time, I swear, I had more lobster and tasted way more like lobster too.Then there's the $11 small pour of Moscato, but hey, it was a date with my hubby, and we'll call it "romantic atmosphere." My husband had a New Fashioned for $16. But hey, drinks are drinks, right?Now, it was a chilly night, but thank goodness for their patio setup - cozy heaters made it feel like a warm hug. So, if you're like us, showing up without a reservation but full of hope and hunger, ask for the first available. The patio is surprisingly comfortable and quiet! But, between you and me, the indoor vibe wins - it's lively, neighborly, and bursting with energy.Pro Tip: Make a reservation on Open Table! You'll skip the waiting game, and trust me, this place is popular. Also, don't miss their brunch menu - much more bang for your buck, and those dishes? Chef's kiss.In conclusion, Nona Blue is like that friend you love to hang with, but sometimes you wonder if they're taking advantage of you... and your wallet. Would I go back? Heck yes, but next time, I'm asking for extra lobster!"

Better Than Sex A Dessert Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (881) • $$

"The atmosphere is quite risqué and the mood is well, obviously sexual. This place is extremely dark so be prepared for that experience. It takes some time to adjust to the lack of lighting as you truly can't read a menu without the tablet light assistance or your own smart phone flashlight. The drinks were quite underwhelming in my opinion. Each one had a large amount of thick impenetrable whipped cream on top that was difficult to mix with the drink itself. The desserts are the true star of this show, as it should be I suppose. So decadent and rich! You could tell each one was well thought out and executed with care and expertise."

Lazy Moon Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (920) • $$

"This place is so special to me and my friends. It is THE local spot. Great for community events and hangouts with friends, it just feels like home here!My favorite part about this place is the staff. They are incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Also very friendly and funny. They always make our experience here top notch!Finally, the pizza is friggin mind blowing! So delicious with the best toppings to choose from. And it is huge! One slice is plenty to make you feel perfectly full. The drinks are also super reasonably priced.I love it here!"

Chuy's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (930) • $$

"Chuy's is a local Mexican restaurant, with different locations around the Orlando area. This one in particular is the closest to our home, only about 15 minutes from Winter Garden, located on 192 near Disney and Kissimmee. We have been here numerous times with my in laws as well as my wife and I. Their vibe is very colorful, lots of things to look at; pictures, hubcap ceilings, and funny teeshirts which they actually sell. Booths and tables are available, as well as tables outside and bar seating. This location is pretty popular for tourists staying nearby as well as locals dining in. The wait can get pretty long if you are going later in the evening. We try to go early especially when the family is here. The positive about having to wait, is the bar area. They make great margaritas and go perfect with the food. You can also order drinks at your table. My wife loves the Mango margaritas, and I prefer more of the classic, but I have tried a few different kinds. They are all actually really good. Your meals start with their chips, which are thin, salty and always served hot. They also have a very chunky style salsa. We also really like the creamy jalapeno sauce; you have to ask for it sometimes. But it so delicious and we love it with the chips. This sauce does have a kick though, which I enjoy. I usually order the same thing, the Cobb salad. It is huge, very fresh and actually really tasty. I also tend to like the fajitas, sometimes my wife and I will share the fajitas for two. She usually gets the cheese enchiladas with tex mex sauce and no beans, double rice. She also likes to add cheese to the rice and add the creamy jalapeno sauce to it. The other dishes we have tried are the burritos (giant), the tortilla soup and the fried avocado, which used to be a special. I haven't seen it in a while, but it was delicious. The fajitas are really tasty and something we ordered a lot to-go during the pandemic as a way to help the restaurants and because we didn't want to cook. They come with the classic toppings and fresh flour tortillas. All of their tortillas are made fresh in house. Overall, we love this type of food and for a "chain" this one is pretty good. It is probably our favorite chain Mexican restaurant around us. Everything seems fresh, the servers are usually always nice (the hostesses not so much) but great service from the servers. Their drink are great, you actually get a great value for your price of the drink. Overall, I would say check it out. Aces!"

Lazy Moon Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (765) • $$

"We sat outside, so I can't say much except the my small Greek salad was large and the size of piece of pizza is about 1/2 the whole pizza!! The service was quick to bring the order to our table, and never made us feel like we needed to hurry. This is a nice, clean family restaurant."

Chuy's

"Always a great time at chuy's . Food is delicious and the staff go beyond their way to make sure your time there is excellent. Very appreciative of the extra effort the staff and management team made to make our dinner excellent."

"Good food. Excellent staff. Interesting place with a vintage rustic ford car theme. Check it out!"

High Tide Harry's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (865) • $$

"We love coming here! It's become a tradition, anytime someone in my family gets picked up from the airport, we always stop here for drinks and food on the way home. Customer service is always great. We sit at the high tops in the bar. We've had the same bartender twice now, and she's fantastic. I wish I knew her name so we could send some love her way with a shoutout!We ordered the peel and eat shrimp for an appetizer along with some oysters. Delicious as always! My Mom and I shared the Seafood Boil and my StepDad ordered a bowl of the Seafood Gumbo. We tried a Key Lime Martini for dessert, and it tasted just like the pie. Parking is easy, prices are reasonable. We love this place and will always come back!!"

Pepe's Cantina

★★★★☆ 4.2 (679) • $$

"I will very happy to say that my experience at Pepe's have significantly improved since my last visit 6 years ago. I arrived on a Wednesday evening with my colleague. We were greeted immediately and seated at in outdoor table as requested. Since we just missed happy hour (which was over at 5), we just settled for water. Complimentary chips and salsa were given. I decided to have 3 shredded chicken tacos (17 dollars), which included rice and beans. The tacos came pretty quickly and it was wonderful. The chicken was tender and juicy and had ample amount of lettuce and cheese. The hot sauce that I requested was indeed spicy and made me sweat a tear or two in front of my colleague. I substituted extra rice instead of beans. The rice was flavorful with some vegetables like peas, corn, carrots, and beans. And the tacos were filling enough that I was able to save one for lunch the next day. Our server was friendly and quick. There were no issues with the credit card machine this time, so our payment was taken quickly! We were in and out within an hour. The dining area was pretty small with a few tables inside, and some outside. I was very happy that there was a small heated lamp that kept us warm during the cooler night. I guess the last time when I arrived during the Cinco de Mayo fest 6 years ago, it was very crowded and the credit card machine issue was just a fluke. Thus, it was painfully slow. But now it was much faster and friendlier. Parking is free in the garage and some lots, but it can be difficult to park during the weekends. My lesson I learned is probably to pack a lot of patience when they have an event like the Cinco de Mayo, but I will definitely come back if they offer that event and have the mechanical bull rides again. The food is wonderful and hopefully they won't have the machine issue again."

House of Blues Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (662) • $$

"House of Blues is located in Disney Springs. Good idea to make a reservation even though it wasn't super busy when we went we still had to wait a little. Our waitress was nice but wish she came back and checked on us while we were eating for drink refills and what not. Our food was good though! Mac and cheese is creamy!"

The Hangry Bison

★★★★☆ 4.2 (606) • $$

"We went to the Hangry Bison for the first time last night for date night. We loved the atmosphere, service and food! Our server was amazing. I want to say her name was Brittany or Bethany. She was so attentive and kind! My husband ordered the Belgian flight and loved each beer. He's always nervous to try new beers so I'm glad he decided to last night. I really love that they use local brewers. I had the hangry mule with vodka, strawberry and mint. We shared the pretzel, which was amazing, since we were starving. We both built our own burgers. My husband went with the Bison, since he's from South Dakota, he was excited! He said everything was amazing, even the sweet potato fries which they give you a cinnamon butter dipping sauce with the fries. I had the grilled chicken and corn on the Cobb. Both were amazing. They give you a melted butter with the corn which was delicious!Can't wait to come back!"

Luke's Kitchen and Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (653) • $$

"First time at Luke's and it was for happy hour so it was a win win. Bartenders were nice and attentive and the hour hour menu was well mixed with food, drinks, and desserts. All at a really,really,good price.The apple collins were delicious and so were the calamari. Chip and dip hit the spot. Wings were an 8 out of 10. I would pass in the deviled eggs in the future.They are having ac issues from what it seems, lots of build up of condensation so becareful were you sit, otherwise water will drip on you, as it did on me."

Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (676) • $$

"Really cool spot, but quite pricey. Came here for my company's holiday parter. The lines were long, but they moved fairly fast. There is a limited amount of tables and seating inside and outside. There is an inside and outside bar. Service was a tad slow, but they were packed all the time I was there. Still, the service was good.The food is pretty amazing. Make sure the check out the pics. They had a holiday themed menu. Yummm, yummm, yummm."

Highball & Harvest

★★★★☆ 4.4 (521) • $$$

"My sister and I stayed at the ritz Carlton for her birthday and we went to brunch at this restaurant and it was the most incredible breakfast buffet. The staff were super accommodating and gave us waters and pastries to go, and they had a great selection. The restaurant was so nice and clean. We would def come back for brunch again even if we aren't staying at the ritz!"

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (594) • $$$

"Celebrating two friends' birthdays at Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse was an exceptional choice. We had heard rave reviews about this establishment and were eager to experience it firsthand. Securing a 7 PM reservation was effortless, and upon arrival, we were impressed by the stunning façade and convenient valet parking. Our inaugural visit exceeded expectations, with impeccable service, atmosphere, and cuisine. The $60 per person meal, including appetizer and dessert courses, was a superb value. We opted for family-style dining, selecting four appetizers, entrees, and desserts, which enhanced our experience. Complimentary bread and expertly prepared starters dishes, including tuna tartare, Wagyu meatballs, Heirloom tomato and Burrata Salad and Blue cheese lettuce wedge. À la cart we decided to go with three different options for sides. The first included lobster macaroni and cheese, Grilled asparagus and truffle french fries which left us impressed. Our entrees consisted of beautifully plated dishes of filet mignon, double bone Kurobuta pork chop, crabcakes and roasted half chicken. Although we were satiated, we managed to enjoy desserts to-go, including strawberry hibiscus cheesecake and warm butter cake. The 2 hour dining experience was outstanding, culminating with a complimentary cupcake for the birthday celebrants. We highly recommend Del Frisco's to anyone visiting Orlando."

"Food was fresh and hotService was friendly And live music was going on when we got their at 3pm!"

Pop Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (465) • $$

"Sushi at Pop Thai Restaurant is reasonably priced and good quality. I have eaten here twice because it is right next to one of my favorite beer spots in Mills 50.Both times the service was great, but I did take out and ate next door. The place is not really big, maybe affording 10 or so tables. Great sushi here; not sure of the other offering. Still though, both times I was here, the place was packed. And coincidentally, both tines it was raining."

Ford's Garage Lakeland

★★★★☆ 3.9 (547) • $$

"Good service, casual environment and tasty food.Although not especially convenient to get to, it's surrounded by so many businesses that once you've gotten 1,000 things from the Target next door (and you only needed 4 things, tops), you can stop by for a quick lunch and/or some adult beverages."

Boxi Park

★★★★☆ 4.2 (421) • $$

"Great place to spend time solo or with family. The got nice collection of food, beer. There is an entrance fee and is very nominal. I visited during noon, there was a stage show going on. There is plenty of kids activities too. There is a parking garage neat by. You can hop on hop off multiple eateries, drinks etc. The staff is friendly. It's a great outdoor setting thoroughly enjoyed it."

F&D Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.9 (476) • $$

"This place was busy but the service was quick m, drinks were good and food was very tasty. I had the passion fruit and prickly pear marg. The prickly pear was better and had more flavor. We tried the dip trio with a green salsa side. Then me and my step daughter split the app combo it had empanadas, flautas, bacon jalapeños , and spin dip. All so good and hot the cilantro sauce to dip items in was so good like you could put it on a shoe and it would be good. My partner had the trio fajita and street corn. He loved the meats and the corn and all the sides. This place is legit and very tasty. We will def go back when in town next time. The area is great to walk around on also"

Bob Marley-A Tribute to Freedom

★★★★☆ 3.7 (499) • $$

"If you've ever been to Jamaica, this place is pretty authentic. The live band was phenomenal and kept the vibe going. Service was friendly. I was mostly taken back by the price of the meals considering the quantities and location. This is the cheapest dinner I have had in a while, let alone in city walk. The cocobread was delicious and the chicken was perfectly spicy. The stuffed peppers were only $13 and probably the biggest dish I've had in a while!?!"

Swampy's Bar & Grille

★★★★☆ 3.8 (471) • $$

"Fun and beautiful, right on the river ambience. Friendly service the food was delicious too. The fish sandwich was huge and very fresh. My sweet potato fries were perfect, and the cinnamon honey butter took them over the top."

Azteca D’Oro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (447) • $$

"Azteca delivered on a hot meal with excellent service. We were seated quickly and the restaurant was clean. I started with an order of queso dip and added chorizo to it. It came with a basket of warm tasty tortilla chips. Afterwards I decided to go with a chicken quesadilla. It was made with chicken, cheese, green onion and tomatoes. It's a simple menu item that was filling and did not disappoint."

Lighthouse Point Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (509) • $$

"Very friendly service. Casual atmosphere with nice water views. Located by the center of all the Villages action. The food was ok and the prices were very reasonable."

Bar Louie - Plaza on University

★★★★☆ 3.5 (497) • $$

"Had an amazing time for brunch. We went for the unlimited mimosas on a Sunday and it did not disappoint. Our server kept our glasses full. It is a great location to stop and get a bite and / or drink anytime of the day or week but I will surely be returning for those brunch specials soon.... Warning though, maybe don't go shopping after or you may spend more than necessary lesson learned. Overall a great experience each time I've gone. Delicious food, good drinks, clean bathrooms and friendly servers."

Ovation Bistro & Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (373) • $$

"From the outside, not sure what to expect as in the middle of a strip mall. Inside, the decor was nice. We had a great waitress that explained things well. The food was really good. I had brisket and ribs combo that was really tasty. We had a bowl of tomato basil soup that was also good."

Bahama Breeze

★★★★☆ 3.7 (416) • $$

"First time with the family in a few years! Trying out some coconut shrimp for an appetizer."

Bar Louie - Orlando Gateway

★★★★☆ 3.6 (437) • $$

"My friends and I come here to catch up and it's one of our most frequented spots for food and drinks! The interior is extremely spacious and you can sit anywhere you'd like; the lighting is dimmed and compliments the atmosphere. All the servers we've had were all kind and helpful as well!I usually order the all-nighter burger and it's good! I'm especially a fan of the pickles that are skewered on the top, they're crunchy and have a nice sourness. The fries have a great texture too, I recommend getting a side of truffle or garlic aioli to dip them in. I also tried the fried pickles and they were okay, the pickle on the inside is a bit too soggy for my liking but the breading has a nice flavor. Overall, I really like coming here and am looking forward to coming back!"

Bahama Breeze

★★★★☆ 3.7 (401) • $$

"Happy Hour at Bahama Breeze was a great option for our work happy hour. They accommodated a large group of 25+ people. The staff ensured we were seating quickly and promptly brought our drinks and food out as well! The drinks were priced from 5-12 dollars depending on your preference and all appetizers were 1/2 off! The only complaint I had was the automatic heaters were not able to be shut off so it was extremely hot even though we were outside. Other than that, it was an amazing experience!"

Tin Roof

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (417) • $$

"It's always a great time to sit at the bar early afternoon. There's plenty of seats inside and out, and tv everywhere to keep your eyes busy. Some nights have live music, and it's really good music too! Happy hour is on the cheaper side for I-Drive. They have an open bar and multiple of beers on draft. Our personal favorite is the Lagunitas IPA, $8/pint. Shout out to our bartender, Justin who was serving us all afternoon yesterday. I also overheard their supervisor or manager say "I take care of all my employees" and it shows! Justin was in a great mood and was rocking it at the bar solo."

Nipa Hut Bar & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (369) • $$

"All food was great. The soup was delicious with corn. Pancit is an all time favorite and it had shrimp and large lagoustines. The pancit was great and a more yellow variety than what I know. We got so many items on the menu I unfortunately forgot to take pictures as I had just spent all day at seaworld and was starving :)"

KAVAS Tacos + Tequila

★★★★☆ 4 (287)

"Cool little spot! Lots of shops and areas to chill outside if you just want to people watch before you take a table to eat as well. I got the Big Ass Burrito which was HUGE and decent. The salsa here is really good, I loved it! Service was fairly quick even though it was pretty busy. If you're going on the weekend, I'd recommend calling for a reservation."

Azteca d'Oro - West Colonial

★★★★☆ 3.9 (291) • $$

"The family and I wanted to go somewhere for dinner and naturally we all agreed with Mexican, duh!!!!We all ordered something different....tacos, burritos, nachos but there's something magical that happens in my spirit when I see the sizzling dance on my plate as fajitas come out the kitchen so thats what I got and it was *chefs kiss* I also ordered the margarita flight which had 4 margaritas for $18 (I mean seriously - jumps in glee). It had a Tamarindo, Dragon Fruit, Coconut, and Watermelon Margarita....SO GOOD!!!Honestly writing this review makes me want to go back so you know they won me over. Make sure to check them out!!!"

Bahama Breeze

★★★★☆ 3.8 (305) • $$

"3.5 Not a fan of this location. Parking isn't the best & spaces are tight. Nice bar area, including tables. Outside area is spacious & covered. Went during happy hr & prices are very reasonable. Service was attentive once we waited a bit for a server. I got one of the servers' attention & asked if anyone had this section. Food came out pretty quickly. Everything was hot & fresh except the dip. The top layer (cheese) wasn't melted or stretchy. I prefer the international drive location."

The Breezeway Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.6 (336) • $$

"Great place! The ambiance in the patio is very laid back, they do allow dogs on the patio. We had the fire cracker shrimp (not pictured) to start, it came on a bed of coleslaw- delicious. I had the margarita, definitely more liquor to mix ratio so 1 was enough. Our entree's were both delicious, the mahi was slightly overcooked but the flavors were jumping so it made up for it :) Service was also great and fast, I believe our servers name was Nikki. She was awesome! I definitely will be back, and next time I will bring my pup!"
