Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Downtown Orlando

We arrived early and have pre-dinner cocktails at the bar. brittany made exceptional cocktails! We ordered the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella that was lightly pan-fried - WOW - it was amazing. Also, the calamari, is a favorite of the hubby. We sat outside and Jeff was our waiter - he was great, he didn’t hover - but was there when you needed something. He must have waiter esp…… 😁. For starters we ordered caesar salad and lobster bisque, both were great. For our main dishes we ordered the dry aged NY strip - it was slightly over cooked, but the flavor was amazing! Scallops with lobster risotto were also ordered and were perfect. As sides we ordered the creamed corn with bacon and parmesan risotto - both were to die for. As we were celebrating my hubby’s birthday - they brought out dessert that included brûlée cheesecake and flourless chocolate espresso cake. But were phenomenal! Our entire dining experience was excellent.

The food was great. The Wagyu pastrami tasted very good and the Lobster Bisque is my favorite lobster dish I’ve had in my life.
