Best Live Music Restaurants in Windermere

The food, the drinks and the service were exceptional. It’s just always too loud or you can barely hear the people talking to you. We would go more often if the music wasn’t so loud.

Norman's remains our go-to for fine dining in the area. It is perfect for a relaxing meal prior to a show, celebration of a special occasion, or even just to share some outstanding food and service with family , friends, colleagues -- anyone with an appreciation for quality and the finest hospitality. The general dining ambience includes plush seating, lowly lit overhead and wall lighting with discrete miniature lamps on each table, and a quiet to moderate noise level. The staff -- from the optional valet to the wait staff -- are thoughtful, efficient, and accommodating. The wait staff especially are personable, engaging, and committed to delivering an outstanding fine dining experience. During our last visit, the three of us started with cocktails and wine, the latter recommended by the restaurant's sommelier. We thoroughly enjoyed the amuse-bouche of the day from the chef, followed by an equally split house salad (the original plate was generous and splitting it worked out well), and an exquisite beef tartare appetizer which was served with finely sliced plantain chips. The concurrent warm bread service was also outstanding, accompanied with a side offering of oil and butter. Our entrees included an excellently prepared salmon, a tasty grouper dish paired with delicious Brussels sprouts, and a delightful medium-rare filet mignon that just melted in one's mouth. We made sure to save some room for dessert and ordered a cheesecake, ice cream, and the requested components of an affogato (espresso poured over ice cream). Every visit to Norman's is just as consistent in the quality and service delivered, it's that proven reliability that has made it my go-to for Orlando.

The absolute best restaurant i have ever been! The dishes are phenomenal, but what really gets me is the professionalism and passion of the people who works there. They really make an effort to make you feel amazing. A must try dine out experience as the traditional restaurant experience as it's highest! Thank you for the experience and I'm looking forward to come back

In the restaurant industry, I've found that the one key element that truly separates and elevates is consistency. At whatever level of the market you serve, longevity is achieved through consistency of both the product and the experience. If I could choose only two words to describe our experiences at Eddie V's, Orlando, over the past five years, they would be "Consistent Excellence". Since meeting and partnering with Thomas Costello on a project years ago, your Orlando location has become my family's de facto choice to celebrate our special occasions. The point I wish to impress is that while there are many great choices in our market today, I fail to see any other establishment deliver true excellence, consistently, every time, running on 5+ years. We have come to know what to expect, and Thomas' team delivers each and every time. I feel comfortable and confident sending clients to dine, knowing they'll have the same experience awaiting them.

The staff was attentive and made sure we were doing okay throughout our dinner. The food was amazing and the ambience was everything…
