   We really enjoyed our food and service. However, we did ask the server could the music be turned down for better table conversation. Respectfully if we would return it would be for happy hour rather than dinner due to the loud music. Just felt like we were at the club. Overall it was a good experience.

   We started our experience by waiting 12 minutes for a server to come to our table while being provided no menus at time of being seated. We asked the server assistant for help but they proceeded to stand there and not help. Meatballs and calamari came out cold. Empanadas came out incorrect. When it came to the entrees, two steaks came out cold and one cooked incorrectly. The other entree was pasta served table side, that did not come until 5 minutes later. Turned out our server who also has a busy section was making the table side pasta. Received the pasta cold. Overall horrible dining experience for the price you pay you expect better quality food and service.

   We've been seeing Corazon's marketing and promotion over the last few months. The decor looked really interesting online so we decided to try it out. We are Orlando locals, not tourists. The fact that it's at the corner of Sand Lake and International Drive should have been our first clue that this place was not going to be for us. Overall, we didn't have a bad experience per se, but for the price there are far better restaurants even just within a few miles of Corazon. First of all, the location and setting are really strange. The restaurant is literally part of a nightclub called Mangos. When I say it's part of the club, they are fully connected. In many areas of the restaurant, the only thing separating the restaurant from this club are some fabric drapes. It is truly bizarre. We are early eaters, so we arrived promptly at 5pm and we were the only people in this huge restaurant. That was just fine by us. When we sat down the music/noise level was totally fine, just right for dinner conversation. Not long into our dinner the music level doubled almost instantly, even though there were only like 10 people in the place. We didn't love that. Our server was very friendly and attentive, so I would say the service is just fine. The food was ok, nothing special. My wife had the salmon and she liked it. I had the short rib and while it was decent, it was VERY fatty. I found it really odd for a restaurant to serve the amount of fat they did. They should have removed that first before serving it, it was like huge clumps of fat! As for drinks, they were fine but extremely expensive, and we aren't shy about paying for drinks. Overall, this place is 100% for I-Drive tourists, and it's probably just fine in that context. For people who live in Orlando, don't even bother, there are so many better restaurants that are way cheaper and you don't have to deal with the insane Sand Lake traffic/congestion, which is a whole story unto itself.

   Our service was great, but the quality of food was lacking. We prepaid for our meal only to find out that they were out of the item my husband wanted. The description was also a little misleading. They stated the meal came with a bottle of moet, but didn’t mention it was a tiny bottle. I had higher expectations for a 490.00 meal for 2 😕

   The ambience is amazing, and the bartenders craft great drinks. However, the food is disappointing; it lacks the flavor I expected, and the quality does not justify the price tag. Additionally, I found it disgusting that they permit dogs on the tables, licking and drooling on the plates. This seems like a potential health hazard for a restaurant!

   This is a romantic, well decorated and perfect ambiance for a nice dinner in Orlando. The staff are professional and extremely friendly. I highly recommend this venue as it hit high marks in dinning and entertainment.

    We came in with high expectations for a prepaid New Year’s Eve dinner, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The standout positive was Joshua, our server, who was attentive and professional throughout the evening. However, the menu for the 8:45 PM seating was underwhelming and lacked the special touch we anticipated. To make matters worse, most of us had initially chosen the short rib option, only to be informed it was sold out. This left us with no choice but to opt for the surf and turf option, which came with an up-charge. While a minor discount was offered, it felt like poor planning on their part, forcing us into a more expensive meal. The food itself was just okay, certainly not at the level you’d expect for $195 per person (excluding cocktails). The ambiance was cool, but it was surprising—and a bit odd—to see young children under 5 dining in what we assumed would be a more refined adult setting. Overall, the experience didn’t feel worth the price, and the lack of thoughtful preparations was disappointing.
