Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails is Mills area’s newest dining and nightlife concept.

The Asian-influenced tapas style menu showcases seasonal and local provisions of the Orlando community in innovative dishes that Executive Chef for Thriving Hospitality, Ryan Stewart, has meticulously developed.Lamp & Shade's comprehensive beverage program features riffs on tiki classics tying back to the influential Asian roots of cocktails, pairing nicely with Chef’s selection of Asian inspired faire.

    they did a fabulous job of the 'birthday' button-click on opentable (which usually does little) - a darling little baby-cannoli with 'happy birthday' stencil and candle - it was very, VERY cute. (we were so full we hadn't ordered dessert, but it was festive and perfect and also, delicious!). everything here is indulgent and yummy and likely entirely unhealthy, but ideal for celebratory times. all dishes are as listed/as shown - lots of cream, butter, and cheese (so of course it's great!) - highly recommended for a birthday or one-off, but their prix fixe menus are A Lot unless you have a high tolerance for indulgent dishes and/or haven't eaten in a week or so.

    The flavor of the food was outstanding, shared several appetizers including the Haloumi which was amazing. Main Courses we did the rack of lamb, lobster pasta and branzino in salt, everything blew our taste buds away. The serves were attentive, polite and familiar with the menu. Fantastic!!!!!
