Da Silva Steakhouse

Ribeye steak was amazing! Server Jose was the best for our first trip! Place was packed!

Dinner was good. Service was family friendly. This place was recommended by our Uber driver. Lots of food and very strong drinks Nice little find in Orlando

Avoid. Overpriced, horrible service, mediocre food, and not a welcoming environment for English-speaking tourists.Service - awful!! Place was not busy, so we were seated immediately. It was 10 minutes before we were greeted. We felt very unwelcome here. This was our first time at Da Silva, so we asked our server questions to help us make our selections. We don't speak Spanish - which annoyed him. We vacation in the area often - this was no language barrier issue. He seemed very annoyed by us, giving short answers. We were ignored most of the night in favor of other tables with Spanish-speaking patrons. Unlike other tables, we never saw a manager or another server "helping out" to keep glasses full and patrons happy.We both had water - my glass sat empty for most of the meal, while the servers all stood by the bar talking. Ours looked right at us, and even delivered our entrees without a care. We received one refill just after our appetizer arrived.Appetizer - Guarnicion - not something I'd order again. Fried Yuca was great, but the rest of the dish needed the cheeses.Entrees - Nothing special at all. I ordered "Pinco di Carne." $32 for 4 pieces of overcooked bacon-wrapped steak on a stick. Decent quality beef; no seasoning - very little veggies. Tasted like amateur backyard grilling on a cheap charcoal grill.My wife ordered the $40 Prime Angus NY Strip. Though cooked correctly, the meat was tough and fatty - only about 1/3 of it was edible! Her steak was just a poor cut. The house sauce drizzled on top overpowered the flavor of the meat.Sides were average, though again - the Fried Yuca was very good!! Dessert - We ordered the "family recipe" quesillo - it had clearly been overcooked, with a burnt taste and a mealy texture. Not good at all. Our server didn't care that we barely took 2 bites of it.We sat at a cleared table with empty glasses for another 15 minutes before he returned with the check.Beware the shady tip practices, too! Default is 23% - and you'll be paying on one of those Toast tablets while the Server stands over your shoulder.Avoid at all costs. There's just no excuse for treating folks badly based on their spoken language, particularly when your restaurant is right on I-Drive (tourist central). With so many other great options in the area, particularly in this style of cuisine - you're better off skipping Da Silva.

Stumbled upon this restaurant when the sushi place we were originally going to had no availability. The place was full of customers and very lively, The service was great. Ordered the half boneless chicken with a side of plantains and Caesar salad. The Caesar salad could quite possibly be the best I have ever had. The chicken had good flavor. We will definitely be back.

We came here for the first time and we had a great time. Food and service was was on point. We started with trio sampler and it has fried arepitas, 3 chicken wings and 3 bbq ribs. It was well marinated and so flavorful. For the main dish we got the 30oz rib eye. The presentation was great. It looks like they cook the steak a little and they cook it more infront of you. It was juicy and delicious! I also got the avocado salad, it was perfect match with the steak. Overall it was good and we'll be back again.

Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and family-friendly, with live music that enhanced the experience.The food was incredible. For appetizers, we ordered tequeños and a sampler with a variety of options, and everything was exquisite. My husband and I shared a mixed parilla/grill, which came with arepas, queso fresco, salad, and fries. The portion was quite large, enough for two or even three people, and every bite was delicious.One of my friends ordered picanha, and wow! It was spectacular. It comes with a salad, and the combination of the two was absolutely delicious.The only thing that disappointed me a bit was that they didn't have good sauces to accompany the food. I missed a good guasacaca for the grill. However, the hot sauce they offered had great flavor and a strong kick, which I really enjoyed.I would definitely return when I'm craving meat, Venezuelan food, and some good drinks. The service was wonderful.

Da Silva easily became one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando!So much to say so let's dive in.. This is an authentic Venezuelan restaurant that offers a spectacular dining experience! Their service is excellent! They speciallty is treating their guest as family. As if you are dining in at their home. You can tell they do everything with love, dedication, and quality in mind. Every time I visit Da Silva Steakhouse (Usually around 10 pm) I'm blown away by the ambiance, live music, DJ, guests, parties, and the dancing.I absolutely love how this place turns into a party environment from 10 pm - 2 am. The music is always great. As I look around almost every table is engaged and having a great time. Smiles on everyones faces always.The dining and seating area is large, spacious, and clean. Now on to the food.. My other favorite part, haha! Wow, I was with a big party so I got to try so much.. Here's a few things I remember: 1. The Tequenos - Probably the best Tequenos I have ever tried in my life. Super authentic, fresh, and made in house. 2. Arepas - Fresh, delicious, and amazing. 3. Beef Carpaccio - Wow blew my mind.. So fresh and full of flavor. 4. Fried Cheese - Definitely a must, always. 5. Steak Ceasar Salad - INSANE! At first I was like um ok, but quickly releasized why it was on the menu and a popular option.. The best cut of beef with the best tasting Cesar dressing.. 6. For my main course, I ordered the Parrilla Picada de Carne, Cerdo Y Chorizo. One of the best beef strip loin, pork loin, and homemade sausage I have ever tried.7. Always gotta end with a Tres Leche for dessert. Made in house.. Delicious!!!They have an awesome bar area with amazing bartenders.. The quality of everything was 10/10. You can tell they put passion into cooking everything on their menu to perfection.When staying late to enjoy the party and nightlife, Da Silva is always very safe both inside and out. Honestly, I can go on for hours more about how awesome this place is.I always see multiple birthday celebrations here, it's definitely a great option for that. Looking forward to celebrating mine here.Viva Venezuela
