"I wish Orlando had more spots like Infusion Tea! The staff and environment are both so warm, and I love how they have a wide selection of fun goods available for sale. Most importantly, the tea is excellent! I love how many varieties there are, and hate that I'll never be able to try them all.Pro tip: Order one of the Teas of the Day, and you'll get a discounted price AND free refills during your visit!"
"We had a lovely quiet meal with our "resort clothes or nicer" at this little gem in Portofino. We ate the wagu, the lobsters, and whatever was the specials. Fantastic bread. Kids had all the classic italian meals. We had a group of 10 and it was reserved way ahead of time, because it is a restaurant more suited, really, for smaller parties. We had a small reunion vacation and we had all just flown in that afternoon and could not bear to think outside the resort grounds, but wanted to spoil ourselves before hitting all the activities on vacation the next day. They delivered great service, and pretty good fine dining experience. Food wasn't stellar but was still very good. When you consider ambiance, service, smells, cleanliness, lighting and great menu choices, I would say this will be an annual reservation, should we stay at this resort again. Definitely will be back.Pretty, pretttay, prettay Good! ~Larry David"
"Ok wow!! I was pleasantly surprised. I read the reviews and thought, surely this can't be that good, but I was so wrong! I stopped by for lunch, and the warm and inviting ambiance immediately set the tone. The decor was charming and authentic, with plenty of natural light streaming in, creating a cozy yet lively vibe that made me feel like I was dining in a little corner of Italy.The service was great. It was attentive without being overbearing. The staff genuinely seemed to care about making the experience special, offering great recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect.And the food? Absolutely divine. I had the eggplant parm sandwich to go, and it was amazing--crispy, flavorful, and layered with just the right amount of toppings and cheese. Every bite was perfection. That bread!!This place truly exceeded my expectations in every way! If you're debating whether to give it a try, don't hesitate. You won't regret it!"
"This is an amazing restaurant. Very Italian inspired food, beautiful cozy seatings, outdoor space. The pasta made from scratch Big wine selection. Service is superb! Can't wait to return."

There were so many choices of tea and did i want it hot or iced that made it difficult for me to choose what I wanted, so I went with the special of the day. I wish I could tell you what the special was that day, but I had another tea immediately after, and another the following day. Part of the reason I went so much was a visiting friend, but the other part is it's excellent tea in a place with a chill vibe. The service is awesome, from ordering your tea if you need assistance, to bringing your tea promptly and explaining how the cups worked. I haven't ordered food there, but the food orders I've seen looked incredible. One of the days I was there, there was a party and it occurred to me what a wonderful place it was to have a party. I haven't had everything here, but I've had their tea and I absolutely recommend it.

Fellow food enthusiasts, welcome to the delightful world of BiCE at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando. Nestled within the striking surroundings of this charming Italian-inspired destination, BiCE promises a culinary adventure. I invite you to join me as we explore the tantalizing flavors and exquisite dishes that grace the tables of this extraordinary establishment.Let us begin our epicurean escapade with a toast:The Blanco Margarita Italiano seduced my palate with a smooth elegance, a dance of tequila and citrus that pays homage to both Mexico and Italy. The Paloma Guava Juice Basil added a delightful twist to the classic cocktail, infusing it with tropical notes and aromatic herbs.I indulged in an array of appetizers that showcases BiCE's commitment to artistry:The Salmon and Ricotta dish elevated the richness of the salmon with the creamy decadence of ricotta, with a marriage of flavors that simply sung on my tongue. Beef Wellington, a true culinary masterpiece, was condensed into bite sized morsels, and stole me with each decadent chomp.Prosciutto and Melon with Balsamic glaze gave classic sweet and savory notes. Brilliant palate cleanser for the table. The Fried Shrimp with Citrus Tequila Sauce really stopped me in my tracks: sweet and juicy, crunchy and tangy with an embrace of citrus-infused tequila sauce. I had a few nibbles of the Mozzarella Caprese balls: velvety mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and fragrant basil. I couldn't put the Tuna Tartar down! So fresh I swear they pulled out of the sea and minced it up in the gondola and brought it upstairs to us. The Arancini Rice Ball with Bolognese and Truffle made me feel like heaven, each bite more enticing than the last. These are the entrees that will transport us to gustatory bliss:The 16 oz Shank Osso Bucco: slow-cooked perfection, prepared with the love it deserved, tenderly surrendering from the bone to the slightest touch. A saffron-infused risotto brought everything together. This dish would certainly fill the mightiest of appetites! The Braised Short Rib Spinach Ravioli gave me comfort and made me feel sophisticated in the same breath. The mushroom parsley marsala cream had me in the clouds. The succulent short rib hiding in that delicate pasta made me feel alive. The velvety marsala cream had me coming back to each bite with excitement. For my seafaring friends, the Branzino was a winner: Potatoes, Carrots, and Parsnips came along for the ride. The delicate flavors of the Branzino the earthiness of roasted root vegetables really gave me old world vibes. My friends, BiCE at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando is a classy and classic place to be. Let me know the next time you go! This place is definitely Odyssey Approved! -Paul aka Mouth Odyssey

Read up about this place, lots of great reviews and we were in Kissimmee so decided to give it a shot. Solid decision, decor was very nice and atmosphere was friendly and inviting. We got a few things, vegan mushroom burger, vegan soup and salad, cheese pizza and chicken parmSalads were amazing, possibly my favorite dressing that's not a Cesar Soup was great and seasoned nicely Mushroom burger was ok , could have toasted the bun and make sure you like ketchup cause there was a lot on it Cheese pizza was excellent, i asked for well done and i got what i consider to be normal, i think you could go 2 more minutes and it'll be One Bite worthy! The pizza sauce made it for me and the fresh made dough, using a 800 degree over helps too Chicken parm was very good , chicken was perfect, sauce that was on it and the pasta was a bit one note but not bad Service was great, the family that runs it was all over the place and made it feel very comfortable I'd go back for the pizza alone 100% Thank you for a great meal and experience

As predicted, this continues to be one of mine & my boyfriend's favorite Italian restaurants in Orlando. It perplexes me how it seems that so many people aren't aware of its existence because every time we visit, it isn't at all busy (even on weekends). It truly has some of the tastiest Italian food I've tried in the area and deserves more attention. The bruschetta appetizer we shared was delicious and topped with a generous amount of fresh basil, our cesar salads were yummy as usual and our entrees were perfection. My boyfriend ordered the lobster ravioli (I had a bite and it was drool-worthy) and I ordered my usual, the linguine frutti di mar (the seafood is always extremely fresh and the portion is just the right size). If you're looking for the closest thing to experiencing an authentic Italian restaurant in Orlando, Rocco's will have you feeling like you're 5,000 miles away dining in Rome.

This is always a Friday or Saturday stable for our family. The food is always top notch. The service is always excellent. We typically try to ask for the waitress, Sage she always takes really good care of us. The outdoor area is perfect for the kids as they always run around and play with a huge tire swing which is pretty much the staple of the yardery. Our kids pretty much beg us to come here every single weekend and it's hard to tell them no because it's a perfect place for us to wind down from a crazy weekend and it's also a perfect place for them to run around and play with other kids from the city. Dogs are also welcome and everyone seems to enjoy. They typically have live music on the weekends, which is nice.I highly recommend the wings and the pulled pork sandwich. On the weekends for brunch at typically get the chicken and waffles, which is absolutely amazing.

The Edison - 10/10, this was a solid burger and fries! The patty was perfectly cooked and everything was well seasoned!Smoke & Mirrors - 10/10, the pineapple flavor really stuck out in the drink, which is what I wanted.Overall, a great place! The wait was very long on a Friday night, but that's kind of expected. The decor and music was nice as well. The waitress we had seemed like she wanted us out kind of fast though..

"Great first-time experience at The Yardery the night of the Sanford Christmas Parade. This is the perfect place to bring friends and family to catch a game while actually playing a few (cornhole, ping pong, etc.). Lovely servers take your order and are quick to offer suggestions, if you'd like. I went with the Yardery Burger (next time, it will be the fish tacos which were also recommended) and fries. The burger is a double smash burger with candied bacon, fried onion, and Yard Sauce - scrumptious! I don't think I waited more than 5 or so minutes for my food to come out - wow! Everything was great and, while I sat at the bar, it looked like everyone around me was having a great time. I definitely recommend this dining jewel just off Downtown Sanford - it's a few extra steps away from the hubbub of Downtown, but it will definitely be worth it. Yum!"
"I booked this place for my dad's birthday and it was fantastic. Yes, you have to have a membership to dine here. Luckily I have reciprocal membership benefits through my golf club. There is a dress code- men must wear jackets, no sports attire, etc. You can find the specific dress code online. Service was excellent. Food was exquisite. The portions are on the smaller side, so we ordered a bunch of food. I was enjoying many cocktails so when my dinner arrived, I wasn't interested in eating it lol. The view from the restaurant is phenomenal- you can catch a gorgeous sunset. I loved how my mom and I were greeted with beautiful roses at the table. We ordered the pâté, tasso ham and a couple cheeses from the list, salmon cake, Caesar salad, she crab soup and pork belly as appetizers. For dinner, we had the filet, scallops, pork chop and and ribeye. For dessert, I had the "up all night" cocktail and we shared the lemon raspberry crème brûlée, frozen cookies and cream, and cherry blossom cheesecake. Everything was delicious. There are even little palate cleansers and an amuse bouche from the chef. It's so much food. Parking was in the garage. I can't recall if they validate part of it. But it's easy to park and ride the elevator up to the restaurant. It was a memorable night. I can't wait to go again for another special occasion. Heads up- some of my pics are from private parties that we had there, not just from the"
"OMG I only had a beer and samosa today, but I'm definitely coming back for a meal. The service is great, friendly staff, knowledgeable, professional. I had a Taj beer from India, and it was crisp and light and refreshing. The samosa were fantastic. Big, generous, stuffed with goodness, and the dipping sauces were very flavorful without being overpowered. I can't wait to try some lamb or goat."
"We came here for dinner on a weekday. Great ambiance with the Steam Punk decor and the Sound Society band was an added treat! The food was delicious - candied bacon, Edison burger and short ribs. I thoroughly enjoyed my Strawberry Fields Forever. Our server ~ Joli was a joy as our server. She is thee best!! Had great recommendations and overall wonderful personality. We share a common admiration for Super Dry wear!! Thank You ~ Edison~ great time"
