This is one of my very favorite theme parks. Islands of adventure is also a must. Restrooms are clean and stocked, restaurants are always fresh and delicious. Staff is always friendly. Especially when you are purchasing the tickets in the very beginning. Plenty of fans and misting Stations to keep you cool while you wait for the rides… This park always makes you feel like you’re part of the movies. It takes more than just one day to cover everything. Maybe give Disney a break and try Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure for your next vacation destination.

This place was seriously amazing! It felt like it was larger than life! You really need to go for more than one day to see everything. We went for one day and were exhausted from trying to see as much as we could! We were only able to go on a couple of rides because of the weather (it's also a bit of a wait, usually about 35-90 minutes in line), but I highly recommend the Harry Potter and Spider-Man rides! They were crazy cool! Oh, and the butter beer is awesome, too!!

Universal is just great. In my opinion the main park (Universal Studios Florida) is 10x better than Islands of Adventure. This is just so much better with tons of stuff to do and a great experience. Islands is also great but this just destroys it in so many ways. Long wait lines, of course, but buying the fast express pass can help alleviate that. Came 9 years ago and now it is pretty much the same with some new rides such as Skull Island. It is extremely expensive (especially in peak Summer) and gets super hot, but it's fun. I really wish both Studios and Islands would add more seating, under shade, yes, but so many people just want to sit down to eat for 10 minutes! Food options could always improve but it is a theme park so yeah. But overall great. 5/5

Great place. Advise to get there as early as possible. If you're staying in a local/affiliated hotel then you can get there an hour earlier than the general public, 8am instead of 9am. It gets really hot!!! Be prepared to bring water and sunscreen and a cap/hat. There's plenty of places for drinks and food. Lots of bathroom facilities and lockers too. Some rides have seat testers on them so you can see if you can fit the rid seats.

I revisited Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure for the second time, and I'm already planning my next visit. The parks are stunning, offering countless thrills and experiences. Simply strolling through the various themed areas feels like stepping into another universe. The attention to detail in the Harry Potter world was particularly impressive, making it a highlight of the trip. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I can't wait to repeat.

This was our first trip to Universals three parks & will definitely not be the last. My family and I had the most Amazing time and made some Amazing memories. I would agree with the Pugh two on you tube. This is the best theme park in the United States by far!!!!

We had a great time here at Universal Orlando, and it didn’t take long to enter as we had purchased the tickets in advance. Love the aesthetics in the park. One thing I was not a fan of, and likely just myself, is how much screens and projections were used here in the shows and rides. For myself I quite enjoyed the rides and shows at Disney more for that reason. But other than that the experience was good, and would definitely recommend.

this place is absolutely perfect for the family! it consists of both kid and family rides. there's plenty to do here and you won't get bored. however, it's best to arrive early in the morning because of how busy the park tends to get later in the day. there are also wait times listed on each ride so that you'll be able to see about how long you will be in line depending on that particular ride. food service was alright, but the food was delicious in general. the park itself is so lively and decorated which added a very nice touch to everything and id love to come back and visit. be sure to visit before it's the busiest season for visitors or you'll be stuck in the longest lines ever! C:

It was a fantastic experience to visit this park. The Diagon Alley is my favorite among the lot, fast and furious series’ rides , Harry Potter rides are thrilling. Usually the rides have big lines , but due to the rain the wait was very less. Usually on the weekends this park is packed with people, so weekday is preferable.

Great day! We only had tickets for the main park and still occupied all day. Definitely being money for food, and trinkets but they let you bring water bottles into the park to fill with water for free. Definitely download the app for wait time and many restaurants want you to mobile order ahead. As someone who is not a ride person (six flags=scary) I found all the rides enjoyable and there were many young kids who had fun! Wait lines are kind of entertaining, there is stuff to watch and look at so time passes faster!! The fast and furious ride was short and disappointing. Do not wait longer than 20 minutes for that ride or not worth it. Ride the mummy!!! The animal show is also definitely worth watching!

First time coming to universal Orlando as a birthday gift from the wife and I went in blind without knowing what it was about what they had and we went to both the main park and the Harry Potter side. The first side being the main section was fun and as we went directly in at opening and was the first 100 people inside the park we pretty much got on all the rides immediately with no wait what so ever which was awesome. The themes were just fantastic. Now this is what I will say I thought this was like every other theme park with huge roller coasters, wrong… most of them were 3d and were on a small track. With that being said the graphics, the attention to detail, and craftsmanship of the art they put into those 3d interactive coasters were phenomenal. I personally wish they had big roller coasters but I appreciated everything I rode and how well it was thought out. E.T ride I felt I was in the movie what. Blast I had. The prices of food and water is traditionally high for. Any theme park across the country as you would expect. Me and my wife also did the horror events and while it was cool interacting with the actors and walking around in the fog and darkness I think the wait times for the haunted houses were absolutely horrible. You’re already baking in the sun if you bought the day passes and while your wait you just sit in. The sun for more hours. When it was finally our turn to enter into the haunted house while they put every thought and effort into the detail it was poorly executed as the actors would jump out every other group or so the actors didn’t really get to scare you as much as it should of. But I guess that’s the price hiu pay when tens of thousands of people are waiting to enter the same haunted house attraction.

Absolutely so much fun!!! A little bit of everything to do. And if you don't feel like doing anything, just waking around is just as good. Always get an annual pass to here. So worth it.

Perhaps this place is better when you don’t go in the summer, but my visit being in the summer, I couldn’t possibly have been satisfied with the volume of crowds. We had to wait up to 2 hours to get on a ride, which took 2 minutes tops. Yes, the rides are spectacular, but having spent 10 hours in the park we only managed to squeeze in 5 rides. And the price? Not worth it. I can think of far better ways to spend money

Super fun and very neat place to go. It's expensive but it was worth taking the kids to see everything. We definitely enjoyed it. You get more out of it if you get a fast pass but they are super expensive for a family of 4. We had fun and recommend but I won't be going back every year

It's always a 5. Star reviews for this place is amazing, fun, and full of activities for adults and the kids. Every restroom was clean, and the food was amazing at all. The stops highly recommended getting the refill cup. You can refill your cup every 10 min and get slushy in it, too !!!!! Overall, it was a great experience and great family fun

OMGGG THIS PLACE IS AMAZING MY FIRST TIME THERE ALL THE RIDES ARE AMAZING AMAZING FOOD ESPECIALLY THE GIANT TURKEY DRUMSTICK LEG, BUTTER BEER FROZEN ETC THE SHOPS THE ATTRACTIONS THE INTERACTIONS THE PEOPLE THE DETAILS THE CREATIVITY OF THE REPLICATION OF MOVIES THE PROPS I GOT TO GIVE IT TO THEM THIS IS ONE HELL OF A PLACE TO GO FOR FUN BUT I DO RECOMMEND GETTING A FAST PASS! I DIDN'T HAVE ONE BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE ONE GET TO DO THINGS FASTER AND BRING SOME CASH OR A CARD WITH YOU FOR GAMES AND FOOD JUST AMAZING I'M FULL OF EXCITEMENT AND SPEECHLESS!.

My daughter and I went with our friends and had an awesome time! It was a perfect day to be at a theme park. We love Universal and go as much as we can. It is a great park, especially for your older kiddos! There are a lot of roller coasters, action rides, and lots of fun shops! Wait times were not terrible. The longest we waited was 45 minutes. Just need to look and keep up with the wait times on the app. We definitely spent most of our time in Harry Potter land. You don't want to skip that.

Incredible park such fun. There is also much to see and experience. The rides are fantastic. And a good selection of rides, too. Very accessible.

Took the family of teenagers. Lots of options of rides: thrill, virtual, water, etc. The favorite was velicicoaster which was awesome. Loved that they had water fountains while in line. Like any other amusement park the food was expensive, $35 for two personal pizzas and a single fill drink. The good was good with a good variety. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The app was also helpful with the map and wait times. We didn't buy the express pass and got onto all the rides in a relatively decent time frame 65 min bent the longest. Really my only gripe was some rides require you empty everything from your pockets and pass through metal detectors. I'm sure lawsuits are to blame, the gripe is the locker process isn't that great. Free inside of 30 min but the rides such as hulk take much longer than that to get on🤷🏻‍♂️. Overall a positive experience.

Very, very, very expensive! But we had the most fun here versus Disney World. The expensive part was just the admission and getting the express lane option with the park hopper pack which I'm glad I got. If you're spending a week here and get one of their deals where you pay for 2 days and get 3 days free for a total of 5 days, then sure you probably don't need the express lane, but you're going to spend majority of your time standing in lines, especially for the popular rides/attractions... We were able to go on just about every ride and even went on some twice. The express lane pass really benefits you if you only have 1 - 2 days to spend here. I was almost about to get the 5 days, but then I thought how that's going to be 5 days of mostly standing in line. Most lines were 50 mins or longer.. There was some that was really short, but that's because the rides was really bad, looking at you Fast & Furious... That fast and furious ride needs to be taken out or updated. All the bad guys in it are now good guys and it was ridiculous. It wasn't even over the top fun like the movies, it was bad.... definitely the worst and weakest ride... Didn't really experience the food, we mostly were on a mission to ride as much as we could because we really didn't get that at Disney... This theme park definitely had more and better rides than Disney, but if you have going kids then I can see why Disney might be more appealing and it is cheaper, but their lightning pass is a scam, it's not unlimited like universals express pass... I was wanting more of the "tour rides" that we've seen in countless movies, like Jaws coming out of the water. I guess I'm just old and those have been retired or not at this location? But I was looking more for those type of rides and there wasn't any. The Kong ride was the closest, but it was the Peter Jackson King Kong. It wasn't the new Legendary Kong that's part of Godzilla vs Kong movies, which the advertisements kind of made it seem like it was, but it was still fun... I do feel for the people though that wait an hour or more for a quick 3 min ride, if that. They do seem like they should be longer, especially the video 3d rides... But overall it was the most fun at a theme park and a great end to a week long vacation in Florida... Well, little over a week...

I loved everything about islands of adventure. Didn't have long to wait for most rides. Where ever we had food it was very good and the prices were ok. It seemed to have a much better vibe and seemed more fun than any of the Disney parks we visited. We popped in and out of the park with ease during the 5 times we visited over the space of 8 days. It's also great that it within a short walk of universal studios and city walk too. I would definitely go back when I can.

Fantastic park, only complaint is the crazy queues even on a weekday in early Nov. This is the best Universal Park for thrill seekers. Good variety of rides and fantastic details and special effects. Park is super clean and staff is very friendly. Obsessed with the Velocicoaster!!!! Express pass expensive but worth it, or try riding the singles lines everywhere. Be prepared to walk a lot!

The park is really cool, it's huge and has a lot of extreme attractions, I think the Hulk roller coaster and the velocicoaster are super cool. The park is for those who really like fast things. The food is delicious and the experience of being there is unique. If you have the chance, take advantage of it!

Outstanding park experience from entrance to exit. The staff as you move through the entrance to food and parks was fantastic. Signs to get around were very helpful and clear to follow. The restaurant selection outside and inside the park are amazing. You can find a nice restaurant and also many regular fast food options. The cleanliness of the park and the staff maintaining was top notch. The people working as spider man etc.. extremely friendly and enthusiastic with people. An outstanding family day for is.

It's a very fun tour accessibility is great for you to get to the place it's very easy accesses are well facilitated ample parking and very easy to park. The problem is the price is $27, but it's still for the whole day, it's not for an hour inside the fun is complete because there are many attractions and toys that cater for all ages, you'll have fun alone with friends and your girlfriend or with the family, this tour is really worth it, even if you take it for just one day, it's still worth the queues inside. They look great but they still ride well and it's worth the wait. I recommend in all senses.

Love this place! Fast pass done right. Real rides and roller-coasters. My kids loved this park best out of Universal Studios and Disney Magic Kingdom. Disney needs to redo their fast pass. As it is right now I would say not worth the money. Universal fast pass is definitely worth the money. Would we go back? Yes we would.

It had been over a decade since my last visit, and nearly everything was different! I was happy to see the Cat in the Hat ride still there, and so well maintained! Everything, honestly, was in excellent condition, and I loved the entire Harry Potter area! It was SO well done and had so many hidden surprises. It did not disappoint!

Lots to do and see. While the rides are awesome, my friend doesn't like rides, but there was so much to do and we didn't need to stand in any lines. It's a great time either way, riding the rides or enjoying everything else the park has to offer. It was like we entered the movies and it was a fun time taking a break from reality.

There is so much to do here! I can't even begin to start with one ride or section of the island that was better than another. We definitely felt this island was a bit more interactive for a family and more fun involved than at Universal Studios or Volcano Bay. Highly recommended to visit but be prepared to wait in long lines for rides. We purchased express tickets on top of the park pass and it was definitely worth it! Because of having an express pass each, we were able to experience more rides and more fun than waiting in line for hours and only be able to ride a few rides. We will be coming back!

This was our first time to this park. It was Thanksgiving week, so it was busy as I expected. I have 2 kids, 14 and 12, this park was fun for them. We enjoyed going through Dr. Seuss area and we even did some rides. We loved the Spider-Man ride. The water rides were fun, the big round tube in Popeyes area, we were entirely soaked from head to toe, so you will definitely get wet. Even with the plastic coverings it does not protect your feet, shoes, and butt from getting wet. We were fine getting wet, but I definitely got wetter than I thought. My kids favorite ride of all was the Harry Potter Motorbikes. Harry Potter area is the most packed of people compared to rest of park. At night the castle had a lightshow for Christmas, very cool, but people everywhere!!! The Grinch show was very cool even for my kids who were thinking it wasn't going to be. There were definitely a bunch of places to eat and drink everywhere. We had a great week, we hope to return again someday.

Universal island of adventure is so adventurous. If you like crazy coasters along with many other ride this is the best place. We love the King Kong ride, spider man meets to blue reptiles Harry Potter water ride. And meeting to avenger and comic characters adds more fun. Place is the dream to visit we all love it thanks universal.

Great rides, let down by the not as friendly as they can be staff. The thrill rides are certainly a plenty here and are great fun. They insist on putting cell phones in free lockers before getting on big rides which given how fast and thrilling these rides are is no surprise. The lockers are small so you won’t fit a regular back pack in, they provide paid for lockers for those. Usual theme park pricing so do not expect a cheap day out.

Best trip ever!! We had a blast. The lines were long but moved very quickly. The staff members were nice and appeared to really love their jobs. The Spider man ride is a must!! We spent 3 days there and still didn't get to do everything. Yes it was costly but my children enjoyed every minute of it

Great experience! I actually found that i liked it better than Universal Studios. Islands of adventure have more extreme rides and adult rides which i found way more fun. Also, i really recommend to buy the express pass, it might cost twice to three time the ticket. BUT I was able to do all the rides I wanted and all the most popular ones (i did like 7-8 rides) from 10:00AM to 3:30PM. That would be impossible without the express pass..

We had a FANTASTIC time! We stayed the week and had the park Hopper passes. Even as adults we felt like kids again and had sooo much fun! Everything is so well themed at Universal! The amount of detail put into every attraction is just amazing!!- there was always something you didn't see previously. At the eateries, the food was good but you can't get that kind of ambiance anywhere else!

I couldn’t imagine being any happier. This place is so magical. The crowds were insane at points but it seems the deepening into the park you go the less people are around. Also, the velocicoaster is so insanely fun. Secret tip, go tell them what you’re celebrating and they will give you a button to wear and ask for some fast passes to celebrate and they will more than likely oblige.

Bought 2 days pass for two parks and got 3 days for free. Cost was $300. Visited Aug 2023. Weather was 110F. So planned evening visits and that really made a difference as wait times were shorter and we were able to enjoy all the rides and shows. Highly recommended specially for families and kids

I typically don't review these type of things however I wanted to point out that this was by far the best Park we have ever been too! Clean as can be, everything was organized and ran perfectly. Fans in all the lines to keep you cool and once inside the building the A/C was a much needed add on to our waits. We went on a Friday during the day (Arrived at 9am). Parking was a breeze and only ($30) and from there it was smooth walking and entry into the park. We chose Islands of Adventure since we had been to Studios multiple times before. We honestly didn't wait on average for longer than 30 minutes per ride. Again I can't state how clean and nicely ran this park was. I would choose Universal over Disney parks 10/10 times! Keep up the great work and we'll see you again soon!

We went here one night on our trip to Universal Studios in Florida and had a blast. This place was a lot of fun for me and my boyfriend. I really love the theme and architecture of the entire place and there's so much to do. I wasn't even bothered with having to walk a lot during the trip as it was so nice being in the park. It was absolutely beautiful and the rides were so much fun. We had a lot of fun here, at the regular park, and at City Walk, which are all conveniently connected. Getting in with our tickets was a much easier process than I thought it would be, even without having fast passes. I would highly recommend this park for anyone planning on going to Universal Studios in Florida.

Super park! Both me and my child really liked it. Cool rides, especially the motorcycle ride. However, the queues are crazy. We came specifically out of season, on Monday. And still there were huge queues. We had unlimited fast passes, I highly recommend buying them. Otherwise we would have been waiting for an hour. The bad thing is that the fast pass does not apply to the coolest attraction and you have to wait up to 2 hours! Oh, are you crazy? Make an electronic queue! As in all normal places. Why do you think that being forced to stand in line for 2 hours is normal?? Ugliness.

Wow, customer service is #1 at Universal Studios Orlando. Every interaction with staff, from shop workers to food service to ride attendants was beyond positive. Everyone made you feel so important and special. The park is so well maintained and beautiful. Rides are amazing, you can ask the staff for a breakdown if nervous. You can leave the line at anytime. The stores all had unique items to purchase based on the rides. The experience is highly enjoyable.

The Harry Potter parts are EPIC!!! So much fun. I'm not even a huge fan of the books or movies (but I DO like them). The Butterbeer was EXCELLENT!!! The atmosphere is amazing. The entire park is great. We went to Universal Studios Orlando, Islands of Adventure, & Volcano Bay. They are ALL FANTASTIC. I enjoyed Universal even more than Disney World!!! ♡♡♡ If you plan on going more than a couple days, I recommend buying the Annual Pass (OR booking in one of their hotels - LOTS of perks!!!).

One of my favourite parks in Orlando. The one downside compared to Disney parks is the costumer service quality and the reason for only 4 stars. Some employees are not passionate and not willing to help. One example was at the ticket booth where we asked for help with the one and two day park tickets and the price difference if buying online. We ended up spending 45 minutes on our own figuring it out. The new rides take 75 minutes wait or more so be prepared to wait or to spend more money with fast passes.

Amazing rides and very well maintained washrooms. The wait times on some rides can get very long, but that is also bypassed most of the time by getting an express pass. Worth visiting, especially in the off-seasons as the crowds are more manageable then.

Great place. I wish I had more time to enjoy the park but unfortunately came when during spring break. The park was very packed, and the wait time on rides was 60 minutes minimum. Was only able to go on 4 rides.

This park was absolutely awesome. The rides were amazing and very interactive. We were able to get on everything we wanted to get on and the creativity in this park is as good as Disney. The food was great and me and my daughter enjoyed the shows as well. I will say that Harry Potter is quite busy, but amazing. The food options were great! You were able to find anything from fried food all the way to fruit cups here, and this is not common at theme parks. The staff overall was great and accommodating. I highly recommend this theme park to anyone visiting the Orlando area, I have not seen much like it and you will absolutely love these rides. If your a hardcore comic nerd-this is the place to be, absolutely awesome.

Universal Islands of Adventure is an absolute thrill-seeker's paradise! From the pulse-pounding rides like the Incredible Hulk Coaster to the immersive worlds of Harry Potter, every corner is filled with excitement and wonder. The attention to detail is phenomenal, making you feel like you've stepped into your favorite stories. The staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Whether you're a hardcore theme park enthusiast or just looking for a fun day out with the family, Islands of Adventure delivers an unforgettable adventure every time. Highly recommend!

Honestly one of the best parks I've been to. This place is Awesome! We went during spring break and the crowds were not bad. From Hogwarts to Jurassic Park to Dr Seuss this place has it all. Hagrids motorcycle ride is a must do and I can say Velocicoaster is breathtaking, rode it 3 times. We didn't want to leave.

Pretty fun! I think it’s a great place to experience maybe once. If with small children, maybe more fun but it’s a once and done kind of thing for me personally. The park was very cool and fun to walk through! Attractions and rides were mostly visual ones, where you sit and it virtually takes you through a ride - so it’s not like a normal park with big, outlandish rides. Very family friendly and not bad for an amusement park overall. Would recommend especially if you have younger children!

Had a great time despite the hot weather and roller coaster being down for 75 percent of the day. It's a little pricey in gift shops and food but thats too be expected.. If you have teens I'd go for island of adventure.. Still a great experience either way.

Phenomenal experience with the different immersive rides you can take. Plenty of water fountains and lockers for the rides that require it. You should definitely bring a small bag that can fit and a bottle of water. There is a good amount of shade but a hat and sunscreen will make your life easier. You can get wands and cast spells to activate different water features which is pretty neat. Go early in the morning when it opens.

First time to universal and it was a lot of fun. It's not just for kids. It's a lot of rides that are very interactive and entertaining, even for adults. They have a large variety of food which is great because you're going to want to be there all day. The food is a little pricey for what you get but it's decent quality. I would recommend checking it out and will definitely come back for another visit.

Orlando Florida. Awesome. Loads to see and do. Great rides, great food, a lot of shops to do your shopping. Harry Potter biggest attraction at this location. Kid friendly. We went on Thursday - it was pretty busy but average waiting time for rides were 10 minutes. Great place to visit with your family.

I loved Universal, I haven’t been there in the last 6 years because I thought my kids were to small for the rides but I can tell you that I was wrong because they really enjoyed the parks and they are 7 and 6. We as a family ditched Disney after this trip to Universal, we even bought annual passes. They came with a lot of benefits, like fast passes after 4 PM. Universal parks are less crowded than Disney’s plus I don’t like the path Disney has gone, especially for my kids. This visit was on Thanksgiving week but we return on Christmas week because we had an awesome trip and the kids wanted to return.

The best time EVER! Going as adults is even more amazing than going as kids. Hubby and I had an absolute blast. Yes it is pricey but the details in the attractions can't be beat. The food was great and the water refill stations around the park was a huge plus. Highly recommend!

Always a great place to spend the day! Lots of food choices, definitely will cost a good amount of money to eat while there. If it's feasible, bring a bag/backpack with some basic supplies such as water and snacks. Small lockers are free and will definitely not fit a backpack, and the larger lockers that will accommodate backpacks you can rent for a short period of time for $2. The Rock It roller coaster is intense, absolutely love it!!

Okay, let’s admit it you are going to go here regardless of how many stars this is rated. But I need to be honest. There is the endless walk from the car to the actual park. Then you spend half your day waiting in lines. That is unless you buy the express pass on top of the already insanely priced ticket price. We enjoyed taking it slow. This does not mean we did not get annoyed at times. It is Florida. It is hot. Don’t forget your sunscreen. I can’t tell you how many people were hurting with sunburns. Also, it rains. When it does, some rides shut down. They shutdown even when you think they shouldn’t. Your opinion of rain does not matter. This can be frustrating when there is a 60 minute wait and you are 45 minutes into the wait! Some lockers are free, some are not. The ones for the water rides are NOT! Everything is expensive, but the water fill ups are free. BONUS!!!! You can find gluten and dairy free options in many of the restaurants. Just ask. It is best to get to the restaurant before the crowds so you can ask for their options.

Every time I visit Universal Studios in Orlando, I have an absolute blast! The level of attention given to every detail truly impresses me, and it's a delight for any fan to experience. The staff and characters at the park are incredibly friendly, adding to the overall magical atmosphere. The attractions themselves are absolutely fantastic! Universal Studios Orlando is a place that captures the imagination and leaves visitors with unforgettable memories. Definitely, the perfect place for all Harry Potter and Marvel fans!

2 adults in August from the UK. What can I say? It was expensive but worth it. We had 14 days at the park, so we didn't need to rush or buy express passes-there was simply no need. Many wait times aren't as long as they say. The rides were great, the food was good and the staff were excellent.

I really enjoyed the street dancing at Universal with their cast members in beautiful costumes, hair and makeup. The minions attraction having a stand only section for an infant to still be inside and see it was an accommodating touch for youngsters! The “real-life” talking transformer was super cool. Lastly, the shopping was fun! My grandsons looked adorable in their matching minions shirts 😊

This is a great place to visit. Be sure to give enough time to get it all in. There is a lot of walking between islands of adventure and universal area. If you like roller coasters, don't miss Hagrids motor bike. You can get express passes for a single day and get them all in if you plan it out some. The food is not cheap but never is at theme parks. There are plenty of clean bathrooms and friendly staff to help you out with your questions. Character meet and greets. Lots of 3 d rides are amazing. Don't skip the shows they are great as well. The monster makeup show was super funny and would recommend you see. I was very happy overall and would do again. 10 out of 10 Park.

Taking the kids to Universal (Island of Adventure) for their first time was definitely a wonderful experience. We all had a great time, enjoyed most of the shows, and literally spent the whole day at the park. At night, the show was beautiful to too. Everybody was waiting for the Harry Potter castle to light up, and when it finally happened, the crowd went crazy specially the kids, like they couldn't believe what they were seeing. I would definitely go again soon and also visit the other parks as well. But overall, Island of Adventure is my favorite Universal park.

Came here to add more fun family time and excitement for a special 21st birthday celebration. We focused more exploring the Wizarding World of Harry Potter because we're huge fans. You can explore both worlds in a day, but it felt a but rushy because of the closing hours of the parks. Other then that you can expect a crowd no matter the season (*my family and I were there mid January). The places to eat or grab a treat at the park/parks is endless. Since we focused venturing the Harry Potter Worlds, the restaurants, treat shops, etc were all super tasty and delicious! We had the best time ever. I wish Universal would extend their park hours so visitors don't feel rushed to explore more. But... you bet we'll be definitely going back soon! The rides are thrilling and fun! *Tip: expect to pay $2 for bigger lockers. This is for big bags/backpacks on some rides. Using your ticket barcode you can get a small locker free. (Ex: Small lockers fit smaller items like small bags or mini backpacks)

Universal Studios Florida exceeded my expectations. The park is massive and I barely made it through the whole thing by the time they closed. The walk from the garage is equally as big, so prepare to do a lot of walking when you go. Like Disney World, there are many family friendly things to do here, however, some of the rides are a lot more intense. In some of the rides you rattle so much you almost get a concussion and have to walk off the headache before you get on the next one. I definitely recommend spending the money, if you can, on the fast pass. The first ride that I went on was without it and the wait was about 45 minutes, and then I got a fast pass and immediately got on it again, as well as the rest of the rides that day. Harry Potter world was amazing, I felt like I was in the movies. The Hagrid ride was my favorite, which the fast pass unfortunately did not work on, and the wait was around an hour. The smaller rides are okay, but I'm sure kids would love them. I can't wait to come back here again.

We were here on a Thanksgiving weekend and it was fully packed, which we expected. There was a huge wait for Harry Potter and Minions rides. But, other than that, the lines moved fairly quicker. This was our first experience with 3D rides and we just loved it! The Vertical Roller Coaster is one hell of a ride. So as the Revenge of the Mummy. Transformers, Minions, The Jimmy Fallon show and Simpsons and the parades were all fun. It's a very happening place and covering everything in 1 day may be a bit tight. Plenty of Food options available. But they are priced high as one would expect in any amusement park. There's a plenty of walking to be done. So, be prepared for it. Overall, it's a great place which one should visit and experience at least once.

We had the most awesome time! We will def be back next year, maybe even a 2 day ticket! Love the shade they have for when you need it and wait lines are somewhat short and are shaded or air conditioned. Parking was a breeze and not a far walk either. So many great attractions and shops. This place really was fun for our whole family

Very nice and agreeable attraction park with a diversity of rides mostly based on special effects and movies, such as Transformers or Harry Potter. The parade and fireworks were very good during the Christmas 2021 holidays. Recommended to anyone looking for attractions during holidays.

I love USO. It's so much fun. I took my 2 teens there and loved it. We did the mouse house when they were little. They loved that place too but wanted more thrill, and USO did not disappoint! We stayed on property, which made it even more enjoyable

First time back in many years. They took some notes from Disney and it is a much happier place now. Staff were all excellent across the board during our 3-day stay. I will advise that the fast passes are not fast. Or express. They just cut the line wait time in about half. It still means waiting 30-40 minutes for the more popular rides. If you really want to take all the rides, take one of their VIP tours. Well worth it.

Had such a great time here more positive than negative points. The best time to visit would be week day non school holidays. Queue times for the rides were not too bad when we visited. It seems the place has been designed to keep everything cool, and fans and light water is sprayed in the air, making it much more comfortable than Disney. Negatives are there are not many places to sit down and relax it is go go go all the time which is fine being young and healthy. But some may want to take some breaks which could prove difficult. There are very minimal food outlets to grab something on the go, I imagine this is intentional to prevent littering, etc. Unless you fancy bakery goods or Starbucks, there's nothing else really unless you want to go for a sit-down meal, which in 30 plus degrees isn't great. Sometimes, you'd prefer a light snack. I was surprised that the city walk area where all the food outlets were very small and queue time was crazy. I thought America was all about fast food, but there was absolutely nothing fast or friendly about the service here, which was surprising, really. But non the less due to it being a quiet period, it was manageable. I dread to see what it's like in a high season.

Excelent!!! It is very funny and great park specially when you go with you little one and take him the place you have been when you were a kid and see him get amazed the same way when you were a kid. We enjoyed even if we couldn't get in many rides because the park was pack and some rides had delays. We got our annual passes so we will be able to come back soon.

Amazing place we had so much fun. Definitely bring a poncho, it rains pretty much everyday unless you want to buy a $20 poncho inside. I recommend spending a day to each park. You cannot do it all at one day. The one with rides and the water park is definitely our favorite. Buy the pass for the rides, all rides have long lines

Universal Studios was satisfactory. The scenery was amazing and really transports you to another place. Probably a cool place to take children. For thrill seekers however, there aren't too many rides worth the trip. The island of the adventure side is better for thrills. The main downfall is it's just so expensive; Parking, entrance fee, lockers, food, optional express pass, ect.

A great theme park with rides for the entire family. The different themed areas are very nostalgic. The staff is friendly. Like most theme parks, food and souvenirs are expensive, but it's expected. If you have the pass that allows you to travel between the different parks, you get to travel on the Hogwarts Express which is super cool. Definitely a much bigger park than Hollywood with 3 different parks on the campus. Gringot's Bank was such a fun ride.

Visiting Universal Studios in Florida for our honeymoon was so much fun! From the adrenaline rush of the rides to the magical atmosphere of the world of Harry Potter, every moment was filled with excitement and joy. Exploring the park with my wife made it even more special, creating memories that we'll always cherish and remember. It was the perfect way to kick off our new life together, surrounded by fun and feeling like a kid again. Highly recommend for couples looking for an unforgettable experience!

Their website is thee most confusing thing I have ever paid my eyes on!! I bought what I thought to be entrance tickets for two parks with fast passes. The total was $1,300!! So, I thought surely that was what I needed for my husband, my two boys, and myself! NOPE! I got to the gate, only to be told that I had only purchased fast passes to skip the line on rides 😳 I paid $1,300 to skip the line?? I then proceeded to the ticket booth to be told that entrance tickets are $250/person for EACH PARK!!! I ended up paying the money for the 2 parks we intended on visiting because we planned our whole trip around visiting both, but man was I seriously disappointed 😞 The lesson I learned was to never, AND I MEAN NEVER, visit Universal Studios during spring break!! NEVER EVER!! The one positive thing was how amazing our hotel was!! We stayed at the Double Tree by Hilton at the entrance to Universal Studios!! Amazing hotel all around and the price was even better!! $155/night compared to $250-500 a night to stay at a Universal Studios resort/hotel!!

We visited for spring break and had an absolute blast. The park is amazing, detailed, and clean. The crowds were not bad. I do recommend the express pass, even tho the cost is up there, not having to wait was more than worth it. We will definitely be back.

The Non-Private VIP experience is worth the extra amount you pay. The ability to see parts of the park you would not otherwise see, you are fed two full meals (breakfast and lunch - these are quality meals presented in professional and friendly manner ) and there is reserved seating to watch the parade at the end of your tour, are just some of the reasons this tour is worth the money. You also get 10% off throughout Universal for the rest of the day, which is nice too, since you have been eyeball shopping through the day as you toured the park and rode the rides. Our Tour Guide Jen was fantastic! Friendly, joyful, knowledgeable, funny, energetic, and all around she just seemed to really love and appreciate her job. We were able to ride all the major rides with little to no wait time and when Jen discovered that one in our group could not do the rides and was looking for more of a Universal Hollywood experience Jen, Jen's supervisor, and a colleague of Jen's went the extra mile to accommodate the guest. Jen was intentional about understanding the likes and dislikes of our group and to see that each person had a special, individual moment during the day. Our last ride of the day was the ET ride (which as someone who was born in 76' I had a full appreciation for this ride and it was a great way to wind down an otherwise exhilarating day) and Jen had ET say bye to each of us by name! It was terrific and such a nice personal touch. After this experience, you aren't going to want to do this any other way than the VIP way. You can easily spend the same money on food and souvenir in a day, this way gets you on the rides, without waiting, with meals included, designated space for the parade, and 10% off throughout Universal...it's worth it. Date of experience: December 2023

I love this place ❤️ I can't even begin to describe how awesome Universal Studios is! 🌟 The moment you step foot in there, you're transported to a whole new world of excitement and adventure. The rides are mind-blowing, like seriously, your adrenaline will be pumping like crazy! And the attention to detail in the park is just insane. It's like you're walking through the sets of your favorite movies. Plus, the staff is super friendly and helpful. They really go above and beyond to make sure you have the best time ever. I totally recommend checking out the Harry Potter section too. It's like stepping into Hogwarts! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

I personally love Universal Orlando over any of the Disney theme parks, hands down. From the staff, to the food options, prices overall to the holiday perks…it is an amazing experience. We live in VA and are season pass holders because we love it that much. Best Halloween Nights by far compared to any park I’ve ever been to. Plenty of places to sit and rest your feet and shady spots to find. Indoor locations have great ac And they have rides of all thrill levels. I personally love Suess Land. 🤣

The experience was phenomenal! Came with the family and we all enjoyed it tremendously! The staff were very engaging with us and respectful. The food and drinks were pricey (understandably) but very good! Will definitely come back again except with a multi day pass!

This Wizarding world is next level they have a very well done area of Harry Potter here and it looks to real just like the movie this place is so spot on they have spots for the kids to stand and do spells and the employees play right along to show a great time. Take the train over to island of adventures to keep the world alive. A true magical place!! 🪄🪄🧙🏼‍♂️

Honestly, I am not typically the type of person who gets excited by amusement parks, but the Harry Potter experience at universal is unbelievable. Not only is it meticulous in its attention to detail, but it’s really accurate to the movie. There are ways to explore all kinds of moments, like the train to hogsmede, which actually takes you there, but down to butter beer, and a range of Easter egg activations you can use your sensor wand to play with. The rides are excellent. Also, as a London native, I appreciate that they don’t totally screw up the references to the UK. It was raining when we went, which added to the authenticity!

We loved everything about this place including the food and butterbeer. We made sure to stop in every shop and check out all of the rides. This was for sure a large part of wanting to come to Universal for me, but even my husband and the kids were excited about it. So much of it looked like it was taken straight from the movie set, and Olivander's was a magical experience. Three of us got wands to use the interactive displays and it was such a cool place to visit. We are still talking about when we can go back, and our visit was four years ago. Thank you so much for making this Harry Potter fan so happy!

Growing up in HP, all I can say is that I love this place. All the shops and buildings just give you all the good feelings. This is my 3rd time around, and everything was still exciting. The staff are generally nice and helpful. The bathrooms' cleanliness is a hit and miss. The rides and eateries are fun and exciting. For Butterbeer, I suggest getting a frozen one from HogsHead and also a shot of Bailey's (if you're over 21). The downside is when you try to do magic around the park, and the sensors are really hard to work with. It's really difficult to make a spell work, and oftentimes, there is an out of order sign behind the spell shops. If they can only figure this out, then the experience will become truly magical. Highly recommend express passes to avoid hours of wait time. If you are staying at the hotels, your unlimited express pass is included.

If you love the world of Harry Potter, you will love this. They recreated the world of Harry Potter done to the last detail. The land is so immersive and life like. From the feel to the buildings, to the food including butter beer and all the magic wands, the rides and the fire breathing dragon.

Visiting any part of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort is a magical experience, for potterheads & muggles. Magic around every turn, this was my Momma Judi's first time visiting Diagon Alley, and we spent some time enjoying the busting streets full of excited wizards and witches. Casting spells, drinking butterbeer, waiting for the dragon that sits atop Gringotts bank to shoot hot flames out that really give off some heat in the Florida sun. We love skulking around Knocktun Alley, for both it's ambience as well as nice chilly temps. We ate lunch at Leaky Cauldron, caught Celestina Wombat’s performance, chatted with the magic mirror in Madame Malkin’s Robes, and dialed MAGIC (62442) from the phone (red phone booth) in front of Kings Cross Station for a spellbinding surprise.

Looks of stuff to do, the rides were amazing with decently short wait times on weekdays. Lots of different food and drinks to try from. Butter beer is a must try. Lots of places to shop for Harry Potter themed stuff. They definitely got pretty much every detail on point. Would definitely recommend this place if you are a fan of Harry Potter or even just visiting universe studios. Will definitely be back.

If you are a fan of Harry Potter then this is your place. It is pretty magical. I would spring for the fast passes but be warned they don't work for every attraction especially the sought after o es.

The moment you walk into this place you feel like you've stepped into another world. The atmosphere feels totally different because of the effort they put into making this place. Ever part of it feels magical and leaves you wanting to explore more and more of the place. The butter beer is great and tastes delicious. The various little shops in the area all have great souvenirs and other fun stuff to purchase.

Wow. This was a really cool experience. For any Harry Potter fan, this is a must see if you’re at Universal. I really enjoyed all the little Harry Potter references and the attention to detail. It was crowded of course, but it was still an excellent time. The butter beer was better than expected. We also enjoyed Olvander’s wand shop. It was like a mini-show built into going into the wand shop. Totally fun and worthwhile without being a big wait.

The park is nice, but the lines all forever, you can spend all the day there and just get into 2 or 3 rides. Do not start the day with the Hadrid Ride, because you will find more line and the others rides has less. Not all the rides are good, so choose wisely. Starting in island of adventure and then taking the train to the universal park is a good start, the most newest and exiting ride are in island of adventure. Avoid vacation time and if you can go during winter, will find less people and a nicer weather.

Bought online a 1-day, 2-parks pass to visit Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade specifically. We were sent on a “mission” to look for wands for our 3 boys knowing full well, “The wands pick the wizards,” not us! Must get there as early as possible because that’s the only way to take pictures without being crowded out. The two parts are surprisingly compact sharing a total of 5 rides. We took 4/5 with our express passes. It did not apply to Hagrid’s which was intense but the best. The ones which need 3D glasses are ok but bothersome. For HP fans and non-fans alike, the detailing is quite amazing and impressive. People watching is a bonus especially the legion of fans dressed up like wizards and waving their wands to “activate” their spells at the various Interactive wand spots. Rather amusing when you see them struggle. So much HP merchandise to buy and they are expensive. F&B is expensive too. But it is after all a bucket list destination so bring lots of money for a once in a lifetime experience (applies to foreign tourists only LoL!)

We got a 3 day pass Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. We got there early and wasn’t too crowded. If you want good pictures I’ll recommend to do the same. There is so much to see and do in the wizarding world. If you can visit in the morning and at night. It’s worth the view.

Such a cool environment that really captures what Diagon Alley would truly feel like! Also if you haven't tried Butterbeer specifically hot Butterbeer then you're missing out on a life changing experience lol

We went past it the first time because it was so hidden away! Very cool looking set with a fire breathing dragon and Gringotts ride which took us about an hour of wait time to get to however it was kind of underwhelming because it was too short. The ice cream shop was nice and very generous on portions.

Took my daughter for her birthday. So many sights to see here. Loved the castle with the forbidden journey ride, Gringotts bank and Hagrids Motorbikes! Food at Leaky Cauldron was great and butterbeer is a must have! Hogwarts Expess takes you between parks and is so fun and pleasant to ride!

Out of this world this place! The magic is real. Amazing atmosphere and the butter beer is to die for! We will definitely be going back again & again

The shows here are very good. Dolphins, Killer Whales, & Sea Lion shows were very informative & action packed shows. Definitely recommend getting to the shows at least 30 minutes before start time to get a decent seat. Lines for everything is crazy. 1-2 hour lines for food, popular roller coasters, & of course entering the parking lot. As others suggested, definitely eat a big breakfast to power through the first few hours at this park as outside food is strictly prohibited besides bottled water. Otherwise, if you get here early try to order food upon entering before the lines get crazy in the early afternoon. One of my favorite exhibits was the penguin experience. Tip, try going towards the park closing as the regular line was only 15 minutes to get in, not bad. Good luck, and enjoy.

One of the best and affordable theme parks in Orlando. New rides added. Killer whales show is still the best overall now with a total educational program that your kids will love it. Totally worth the visit. 4 stars because food is below average for the price and you cant bring anything with you. Not healthy or decent choices. Everything else, from staff to service is great. Enjoy your visit. Take it from a local guy that lives two blocks away from it.

Great experience! Definitely get a dining plan but share it because it is a ton of food! We also got a souvenir drink cup that we shared and refilled for free that helped with cost. The Quick Queue passes are a game changer and my kids were able to ride all the rides in one day. The animal shows are educational, entertaining, and funny. The animal viewings are fantastic. I really enjoyed seeing their Rescue animals and knowing they make a difference in the welfare of so many animals in the wild.

Great place for the whole family. Buy the all day food voucher as expensive to eat inside park if not. We went mid week and Ques were very short. Good wheel chair or mobility scooter access to all areas of the park. Staff were excellent and very friendly. Your ticket also allows this park to keep working on Marine conservation!

Fun place to visit. Kids enjoyed the rides and shows with dolphins and whale's. Lot to see and do,one day is not enough for sure to see it all. We came at great time, before Christmas when everything is decorated and there is snow with Xmas trees,just beautiful. Recommend! 🥰

Park was busy which was to be expected. To ensure you get the most out of your day (shows, entertainment, roller coasters etc) I would highly recommend purchasing the fast pass to ensure you don’t waste your time and energy waiting in 2 hour lines. I was hesitant because of the amount but I never had to wait in lines, I was able to experience all the shows, ride for an unlimited time, eat and still have fun without wasting time. You go for the experience and the fast pass will ensure you have a fun time.

We visited Sea World on a beautiful 70 degree Florida day in February! We went during the week, and it was not crowded at all. The parking experience was fine and very quick. There was a minimal wait to get into the park. We did purchase a year pass for the same price as a one day admission! We loved the seal/ sea lion show ( You will get wet if you sit up close). My favorite was the shark exhibit and the Shark Experience Restaurant, where you can dine while watching sharks swim around you! I thought the park employees were helpful in directing us around. Yes it's pricey here, but I think this is the best theme park in Florida!

Penguin exhibit was the coolest part for us. It was about an hour wait to get into the exhibit. Lines for food is just atrocious as well as the popular coasters. Eat big before you head into the park and give yourself some time before hanger sets in. Cool shows and great animal exhibits. Sea lions were cool and you can go and buy food to feed them. Good times, just wish the lines weren't so bad

This place was amazing! Could very well be my favorite amusement park. The variety of things to do makes it a perfect spot for the roller coaster riding thrill seeker, as well as the laid back admirers of sea animals. This place is essentially a zoo for sea faring animals and it does a great job at letting you interact with these beautiful creatures. Feeding the seals and sea lions was one of my favorite activities. There are enough eateries to satisfy the pickiest eater, and if you're really making a full day of it, the all day eating pass is a nice option. With so many photogenic attractions, this is a great place to create some lifelong memories with the family!

I loved the shows and the food. I recommend buying the food inclusive package. My first experience ever at Sea World and loved the animals. Each show, I oohheed and awed at all the work behind the scenes that went into each performance. The love the trainers have for the animals is expressly seen and awesome. The time they had to put in for a show, wow. The energy was contagious.

4 of us went ( all adults ) . We bought the food package, which we very much recommend. We weren't worried about going on the rides, but did she all the shows. It's not like it used to be a few decades ago , The shows were short, and all ended with a speech to appeal to the animal activists. Overall had a great time. Highly recommended specially for kids. Make sure you see the penguin house !

Been here plenty of times. Came this time for the Craft Beer & Food Festival. All the stations were open, even after a storm that lasted about an hour. Park was crowded even after the rain & 100 degrees weather. All the food from the stands were good. Roller coaster rides were all about a 50 minute wait. Penguin encounter is closed & fenced off. Overall a good Aquarium park.

My dad took me here in the late 80s and again a few days ago. Great experience to see everything & how amazing the park has grown. Definitely bring your family and friends here. We also got tickets to see the Halloween Theme After Hours and It Was Fun.

Pleasantly surprised. Shows were fun. Roller Coasters are way better than Disney World. Tickets are affordable, park merchandise not so much, all day meal plan are worth it. 4 stars because the kraken was not available. Just had a fun time overall.

Very fun, educational and interesting. Lots of animals and shows, fun roller coaster rides, a kids area and food. It is only card for all payments but they do have machines that give you instant prepaid cards on site. Easy to navigate as it’s really a big circle. Im sad that the Antarctica exhibit was closed but I’m excited that they’re building a new roller coaster and area.

Sea world was a lot of fun! I highly recommend getting the fast pass. We rode everything and the longest wait was like 15 minutes. The dolphin experience was pretty cool too. Food isn’t great, but what do you expect lol. A fun day indeed!

My family and I had a great time. If you have a little one the best spot is sesame street. My daughter had a blast on the kiddie rides and couldn't stay still in line to take photos with Elmo and friends. My wife had her fun on the roller coasters while I enjoyed the animal shows and all the animal exhibits. Definitely a great way to spend the day.

Great family park! We went for a family trip ranging in ages 3 to 72. The animals are fascinating for all ages. In addition to viewing, there are several shows that give you a chance to learn more about them while being entertained. For the younger children, you can spend time in Sesame Street Land. With tamer rides, a splash pad and playground, as well as a parade, it's the perfect place for the little ones. The roller coasters are crazy, probably some of the best in the area! For a very affordable theme park experience, go to their website and check out the hotel packages. You can't beat the prices!

We brought our son here on Thursday, and he had a blast! He got to see all kinds of animals from flamingos, dolphins, sharks, alligators, walrus, seals, sea lions, otters, sea turtles, beluga whales, etc. I honestly was not expecting the park to be as big as it is, nor did I know it was also a theme park. I honestly thought it was like an aquarium. I did not expect there to be rides. The rides were themed around some sea animals, which I thought was creative! There are 4 different parking areas, if I remember correctly: RV, general, preferred, and VIP parking areas. I recommend families to bring their kids here for an amazing experience!

That place had no summer heat tolerance. They don’t have drinking water fountains , no tents or covers, no tents, limited AC places, lines over 90 minutes. No sprays or refreshing areas. Totally disaster to go there in summer. Not enough staff. Ride that could pass 40 people in one hour took ages to make. Also nothing to do there for small kids. Only shows. This park has to make major changes to respect guests and make more refreshing areas. And now you can’t buy separate fast pass for each ride- must buy 130$ per person on top of tickets quick queue even if you came for few hours. I’m gonna skip this place for a while and not renew my membership as my daughter and i almost got overheated with THERMO hit. We had headaches both. Could do only 2 shows and one ride. Dolphins show and killer whale was the only refreshing fun.

Great family experience. Sea World started out its operating day with the national anthem. They offer an amazing military/ veteran discount. The park was clean. The lines were not long. Rides were great, and the whole family learned a lot. Highly recommend for families.

The underwater exhibits are the best, and you should definitely check out all of the live animal shows if you can. While the animal exhibits are great, the park feels poorly configured and oftentimes you're walking a good while before you can see the next most interesting thing. Because of that, the park can sometimes feel very sparse in certain sections of the park. If it's raining, try to go to one of the underwater exhibits, we got stuck outside when it poured with nowhere to go. The staff seems to disappear when it rains as well.

First time to SeaWorld! I had a great time. I love how much water there is, and the new pipeline coaster is super fun. We watched a dolphin and killer whale show, and they were both as amusing as they were educational. You're able to ride every coaster that was open, except for one. But we will certainly be back!

If you are considering going to Sea World, just go! It’s wonderful. We had such a nice day even though it did sprinkle. The shows are wonderful. We went to all of them. We were able to buy discounted tickets ahead of time and also got the all day dining on sale. Much cheaper than going to a Disney theme park. The Christmas show was fantastic. The mime was funny at the sea lion show. It was a day well spent and the park was decorated for Christmas. We were there the day before Thanksgiving.

Rides: I enjoyed the rides, especially the manta. the lines were moving pretty quickly Shows: still enjoyable, especially the dolphins show, Otter and seal encounter. We were hoping to catch the Blue Horizon show, but we're told that they do not have that anymore. Other animals encounters like shark, sting rays ... etc. It's not as great compared to the last time we were there (9 years ago). The touch tanks were pretty bad. There was no attendant there to interact with the kids. All the tanks are very dull and murky, not great condition for photos. Overall, I would give it a 3 because it didn't give us the excitement that it used to. The atmosphere was kind of stale. The staff whom we encountered with were very monochromatic, with no personality, lack of passion.

We purchased season tickets to all 4 parks as a local Florida resident with a large family we found it to be the best deal. Our first visit to SeaWorld was great and the family had a great time. I recommend knocking out your rides you want to do right away in the morning and doing the shows and exhibits after as the ride wait times got significantly longer as the day went on. We went during the Seven Seas food festival and it was fun to try different foods the kids really enjoyed it and the food was better than I expected. Over all the experience was great and we will be back again. The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is that we found we had several issues with staff helpfulness throughout the day. It started with parking there was a hold up in our line for over 15 minutes and then when we got to the booth they for got to give us our preferred parking pass so that caused more issues when we went to park. Later in the park when trying to use some of our membership rewards and redeem the free animal feeding we had the same issue. We were told we had to have a paper ticket not a digital ticket but had to ask the staff several times where to get it from but he brushed us off the first few times. Lastly we once again tried to redeem some season pass perks with free food tastings but the app was not working properly and our options was to take a 30 minutes walk to guest service or figure it out on our own. We ended up have to redeem it directly from the website on our phones native browser as the app on multiple phones would not let us complete the checkout but it still took 20 minutes or so to figure out.

Here's the real deal... SeaWorld is great. The food quality is decent and expected for a theme park. However, the price is a bit out there for what is offered. General parking today is $37! There are no half-day (after 4pm) tickets. The best values are adding the Quick Queue, animal feedings, and the all-day meals.

Always a favorite spot to visit. It's great for the whole family & our kids love it! Shows are lots of fun! Plan to spend all day to get all of the experience in because there's a ton to see. We do suggest getting the Dining Pass... It turns out to be worth it for the meals & in between drinks & snacks.

Loved it! But wasn't prepared for the water ride that drenched you, needed fast drying clothes & shoes! Did not want to pay $6 for a dryer:( Animals appeared happy in their environments and great shows!

Really beautiful space located just outside Orlando. We came to see the Dinosaur Exhibit at Leu Gardens and we were really impressed. The gardens were very well maintained, easy to navigate, and great signage located around the property. There was enough shade to escape the afternoon Florida sun and wide walking paths around. Really enjoyed the quality of the dinosaurs and information located about each. We found numerous animals from grasshoppers, birds, snakes, and insects and really enjoyed our time there.

Beautiful gardens!! Lots of walking. The walkways are plentiful, wide and paved beautifully for those who need accessibility. Doors are automatic, plenty of ramps and the attractions (it’s Halloween in a few days) are accessible. If you love plants, camellias, roses, small lizards, birds, fresh air, this os the place for you. There is a welcome center with bathrooms (there are also bathrooms outside, they are well marked on the map), and plenty of parking. We missed the museum tour, but spent several hours in the botanical garden.

A beautiful set of gardens in Orlando The entrance is located at the intersection of Corrine Dr and N Forest Ave. The park takes up 50 acres on the south side of Lake Rowena. There are two parking lots. One is near to the main building and one is just to the south. Together they can hold about 150 vehicles. The entry is through the main building and costs about $15/person. The gardens are used for events. The day that we visited, there was a wedding event set up outside the house on the south of the grounds and the reception was set for the main building. It seemed a perfect place for it. The gardens are self-guided and have lots of paths to follow. Recently, they have made a “dragon” challenge treasure hunt that is a lot of fun. People have to find clues and decrypt the message that leads you to the treasure. The gardens have large dragons and night-time lighting for these very large creatures. The gardens are beautiful and have many paths and descriptions of the many plants around the grounds. Overall, this is a wonderful set of gardens that is very pleasant to walk through.

We loved it. It's huge and organized into different gardens (map is helpful). Tours of the house are only between 10am and noon, but there's lots to see without that. All of the paths are paved,wood, etc, which is nice for maneuverability (and you don't have to worry about your shoes). They have events here, so we'll probably be back 😊

They have beautiful gardens. Full of lovely colors! Pathways are very clean always and it is always peaceful there. Going on walks with family is special there. The last time we went we did a dragons & fairies scavenger hunt. Kids love it and the dragons are large sized and impressive!!! The fairy houses were on trees. Leu Gardens put up these fun events from time to time. Last time we got to see part of a wedding in progress and got lucky to run into the beautiful bride in white by herself and we got to tell her how beautiful she looked! Very kind staff too. We were not turned away when we forgot our membership cards with Bok Towers once as they are affiliates. Nice lady up front still let us in. We go there so often. We always love it there!

If you enjoy strolls through beautiful vegetation you will enjoy this location. Right now they have a dinosaur exhibition going on that is a fun activity to do. Don't forget to bring your camera as there are many photograph opportunities. The trees provide plenty of shade so you can enjoy your stroll without getting cooked by the Sun. There is a nearby lake so look out for native wildlife species.

I'll start this off by saying im not a garden person. I go because it's my gfs hobby, and that's about it. I actually loved this place. It was truly amazing, and i will be coming back. You have to see it for yourself. It's a fairly small walk. Maybe an hour and a half to 2 hour walk to see everything, and when we went, they had dinosaurs there that were expertly done, really looked real. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for an experience like this.

I love this place and the only reason I gave it a 4 star is because if you’re a wheelchair user, you do need a power assist or someone to push you. The terrains absolutely breath taking and the wedding venue possibilities are endlessly potential. However the up and down and large range of trails makes it difficult to be in a manual chair. I would def go back, and plan on getting a membership soon. The fairy door experience held in the fall is such a fun day date with kids!

I loved the serene paths the Gardens had. There were several walking trails and places to sit and just breathe. There is plenty of shade, too. I went alone and although I didn't have trouble with parking I noticed on my way out that parking was full. Also, there were renovations going on when I attended, and I really wanted to visit the local shop inside, but again, it was cordoned off and closed for renovation. Overall, I really enjoyed my outing, and the low price and drive were worth the trip. It was very family-friendly, and I even enjoyed a short chat with the grounds keeper.

Best botanical garden we have been to. So much variety, especially for October. Beautifully laid out. Easy to walk everywhere. Small private trails and larger roads. Planned on an hour and stayed for three, and would have stayed longer if we had the time.

Every year I visit Leu gardens during their dazzling lights and it never disappoints. I must say this year was just the same, they always add more events and things to see and I absolutely love the showcase. I have visited the garden during the day and it’s truly a beautiful and tranquil place to seek solace and enjoy the beauty that is the garden

Discovery Cove is an all inclusive resort that offers visitors to interact with a range of marine animals including dolphins. My absolute favorite part was the grand reef, there were eagle rays, eels, sharks, and many different types of fish. You could snorkel through the reef and swim over everything.The tropical river runs through an aviary, you can also see otters and a specific breed of monkey, the marmosets. Everything was really nice and the food was pretty amazing for a park. I was blown away by both the breakfast and lunch. The workers were all nice and knowledgeable. The restrooms were really clean and they provided showers with soap and shampoo for when you were ready to head home. A couple of things, the dolphin encounter, the shark encounter and the alcohol were all extra on an already pretty expensive day. The photo packages start at $99 as well and are really expensive. You do get complimentary wine and beer but any mixed drinks, etc were extra. There were tons of snacks and fountain drinks throughout the resort. I personally think it was overpriced for what it was, but in no means will say it was not a pleasant experience. This can easily be a day event.

Well worth a visit. I do think it's a bit overpriced, but would surely go again and recommend Discovery Cove. Very easy check-in process. The park was very clean upon arrival, but got pretty messy as the day went on. Drinks were left near empty beach chairs and in the sand. The showers were dirty (because guests left it this way). They did however turn over tables very quickly in the dining area. Breakfast and lunch was delicious. My only complaint is the buffet line, mostly the lunch line, was very long and could have been laid out better to allow for quicker service. Everything else was great! The the lazy rivers and snorkeling was awesome. I also enjoyed the aviary. This is totally an all day thing so arrive as soon as the park opens. We were there before most of the crowd and didn't have to wait long for anything. Also, the landscaping is amazing, it makes you forget you're in the middle of a Florida and not on a Caribbean island.

Not only a beautiful place but so much to do. Swim through the aviary or get out and feed the birds. Watch marmosets and otters play while you swim. Float around the tropical river that varies in depth and has a sandy bottom with rocks in spots. Beautiful waterfalls, a grotto and chairs in the water to drink while you relax. The reef is incredible with many rays and fish plus swim by the sharks. There's also free animal encounters to watch them be fed. Dolphins are fun to watch from the shore but expensive to swim and get a pic with. The free drinks are great, but set low expectations for food. Check in can take 30 minutes and the activities don't start until 9. If you're there at 8 that gives you time to check in and have breakfast. At 9 the island opens and it's a great place to snag a lounge chair by the bar and bathroom. Nice bathrooms with showers and things provided are towels, sunscreen, life jacket, snorkel and wet suit. All you really need to bring is a swimsuit, sunglasses, hat, waterproof phone case and a water bottle to refill.

Beautiful place full of gorgeous plants and trees with Sandy beaches, birds and tropical fish and lagoons, (you can swim with the dolphins for an additional charge) included in your day is wet suits, snorkel and mask, towels, locker to store your personal items and use of the changing rooms and showers, with shower gel, shampoo and conditioner all available. There is also animal friendly sunscreen for you to use during the day. All food and drinks are included too. The food is excellent with a good choice available. There is a wide choice of hot and cold drinks, if want more than regular wine and beer you can upgrade to a premium package. There are options to book a Cabana, best to do this in advance via the website, it’s your own private space with sun beds, shade and drinks in hand. We really enjoyed swimming with the Dolphins and snorkelling and seeing the tropical fish. There are prams which are suitable for the beach with large wheels available from guest services. There are plenty of life jackets available for anyone wanting one. Numerous lifeguards are around the lagoons closely monitoring the water. Facilities for disabled are quite good, they have got wheelchairs with big wheels which look like balls which can be pushed easily on the sand. These are free of charge and you can ring or email in advance to reserve one and they will keep one for you, they have about 10. They will keep your wheelchair safe while you are using theirs. There is a disabled toilet and changing facility unfortunately this was out of order when we visited. They do have a separate large toilet cubicle in both the women’s and men’s bathrooms. They also have a disabled shower cubicle with a seat, however everyone uses this.

So fun. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. We loved coming here. We loved everything they had from the unlimited food to the amazing snorkeling with the big manarays to watching the cute dolphins. Feeding the birds was probably our favorite part, they come up to you and some sit on your finger or land on your shoulder. So fun. We also loved the lazy river. Such a lovely laid back and fantastic day. Beautiful scenery.

Such a wonderful time at this experience. The underwater sea venture is a must try. My son absolutely love the swim with dolphins. It is a little pricey, but I would highly recommend going. We will definitely return. They also made him feel very special for his birthday, and they put a certain color on you, so that each employee that walks by tells you happy birthday. The breakfast buffet was good and had a lot of variety from bacon and eggs all the way down to pastries and cereal. The lunch buffet was good. It had salmon, pepper, steak, chicken, and pork. Lots of different varieties, and all you can eat. We also had our own personal day bed and it was a nice retreat from the heat. Swimming in the lagoon with the stingrays was amazing and the rays are very large. The lazy river is massive and over 8 feet deep. They thought of everything… even sun block. Wetsuits come in all sizes and they even provide the snorkeling gear.

Discovery cove is a great place for all ages! I had a wonderful time there taking in the main attractions. My visit included a dolphin up close experience, snorkeling in the Grand Reef, and relaxing in the freshwater pool which has a very long lazy river. The park provides towels, sunscreen, wet suits, snorkeling sets, and floats for the lazy river. They also provide breakfast and lunch which have some great options along with all you can drink. There is an upgrade package you can also purchase for unlimited mixed alcoholic drinks. There are also a few other upgrades that I didn't purchase such as a scuba adventure, animal trek, swim with sharks, Ray feeding, cabanas or day beds, or trainer for the day. Currently the aviary is being refurbished so it's not available for walk through right now. Lastly every employee I encountered was very friendly and ready to help so I thank them for their service. One last thing to note is that I did wind up purchasing the digital photo package which is currently $229 plus tax. The pictures were good, but honestly I think $150 would be more reasonable. The pictures they provide digitally aren't even the original quality from the camera they used. Overall this is a really great park and something everyone should experience at least once. I will of course be going back again at some point.

We had the most amazing day here & would definitely recommend it to anyone! It is pricey, but so worth it. The whole day was very relaxing. The place was busy but not overly crowded & the only line we waited in was at the restaurant. The food was worth it though & my kids loved snacking & eating all throughout the day. We loved the freshwater oasis for it's relaxing vibe & the reef snorkeling experience was so much more exciting than I expected. There were so many different kinds of fish & rays, plenty of space for exploring the reef...it was a phenomenal experience. Of course the dolphin 🐬 swim was the icing on the cake. It was so cool to meet the trainers & get to know the dolphin. We got to meet & swim with Ares & aside from the water temp, I cannot find one fault with the experience. The whole day at Discovery Cove was amazing...I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely stunning place to be. The food was great and the people in the front lobby are so kind and professional. The day we went My mother and I spent the day just relaxing and enjoying our time on the beaches also we got to fulfill a long time dream of my mother’s she was able to swimming with the dolphins 🐬and lean so much about them. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a fun day with loved one.

Discovery Cove is absolutely the best attraction for the money! My wife and I went there a couple of years ago and knew it was a place we had to bring our children to. In 2023, we took them and it was an amazing experience! There is so much to do and so much to eat! I highly recommend this park to all families who enjoy water and sea life. The private showers provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, clean towels & wash clothes. You can actually spend the day at Discovery Cove and leave the park clean and in dry clothes ready for the next activity on your agenda!

We went to Discovery Cove for the first time to celebrate our daughter's 14th birthday, and it was such an absolutely amazing and incredible experience. It was so awesome! All inclusive food and drinks were great! The pizza was the best. The bartenders are great. We did the sea venture and dolphin swim. We had such a great time. I can't wait to go back.

It’s been on my bucket list to swim with dolphins since I was a kid. This was an amazing experience that I took my 2 teenager boys too with one of my kids not able to walk a lot but they gave him a scooter to drive around! I will definitely come back here to visit! The dolphin swim was fun just wish we was able to feed them too!

Our family had a great time at Discovery Cove and it is a wonderful experience nestled in Orlando. Well kept and clean park make for a pleasant time for family in the heart of wild life and sea animals. The lazy river is very fun and long and has some deep spots so be wary of that if you can not swim or take a floaties with you to help keep you afloat. The experience at Discovery Cove includes breakfast and lunch and the food quality is very good and delicious. I would rate the food alone 4.5 out of 5 stars for the variety, nutritional value, and quality. The swim with the dolphin experience upgrade is a wonderful opportunity for you or your young ones to swim with and meet a dolphin up close and personally. If we didn't do that experience we may have missed the Grand Reef which is where you can snorkel with beautiful fish and sting rays of which there are many and some were very big! The only downside and this is why I deducted one star was thaty wife had a delayed experience at check in due to a technical error on Discovery Cove's part which had them claim we had not paid for the upgrade to swim with the dolphins. The supervisor was a little rude and kept insisting that we hadn't paid for the upgrade in spite of us having the certificate which they sent us at time of upgrade online a few weeks prior. She kept insisting that despite us having the tickets their system showed the upgrade had not been paid for despite us doing it online several weeks prior and having confirmation and having the actual tickets printed which would have not have been sent had we not paid for the upgrade. Eventually after a pretty decent delay and frustration she somehow discovered they were in the wrong and that we actually had paid. It was a bad start to an otherwise fascinating day at Discovery Cove. It was unnecessary stress caused to my wife who was positive we had paid but was not showing in their system due to a technical error on their end. Overall a 5 star park with wonderful things to keep you and your family engaged for the whole day.

Incredible experience at Discovery Cove. From the second we entered the customer service was Incredible. Very friendly, and attentive employees, lifeguards, and just everyone playing their role into keeping it in operation. The employees seem to truly enjoy their jobs and added immensely to our positive experiences. Food and drinks are unlimited with the option to upgrade to an alcohol package of harder and mixed drinks, too. Food is served in snacks, breakfast and lunch, offered in a buffet style fashion or snacks are found at refreshment stands with drinks. We ate a ton of a food, and had multiple drinks, definitely getting our monies worth. And, unlike most parks, the food was actually Incredible! Swimming experience range from a lazy river that is 8ft deep and flows through a series of waterfalls, and wildlife haven. A Dolphins cove, where one can sign up and swim with a dolphin in a personal encounter. And third, my personal favorite, a true reef experience, and an opportunity to swim with multiple species of fish and sting ray, which swim right next to you, and you can simply reach out and untouch. The price of the day is worth that experience alone! Park is kept at a certain capacity for safety of wildlife and provides that its never overly busy and always a comfortable experience. Absolutely loved our time at Discovery Cove and will be returning customers (wife already has been), for sure. Highly recommended as one of my favorite parks in Orlando.

Our day at Discovery Cove was amazing. We opted to rent a private cabana for the day. It was well worth the money. Our host Josie was phenomenal. She made sure our refrigerator and snacks were always filled and escorted us to our shark and dolphin swim. As part of the cabana package a dolphin gave my wife a buoy with a personalized message. My 10 year old son loved the reef and spent hours exploring looking for all the fish on the fish chart. The shark swim experience was awesome to see sharks up close in their environment. Having the added benefit of Sea World admission makes the price worth it.

Must visit place in Orlando. Includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks throughout the day. Grand reef is the best part of my visit. You can request a prescribed snorkel mask at guest service for better viewing during the snorkel. I got offended by a staff member. My wife was in the water with Dolphin, and my 1 yr 6-month-old daughter was playing at the beach. She grabbed sand in her hand threw in the water, a girl (life guard) was watching all this and yelled at my daughter not to throw the sand in the water. I was amazed at how much sand a little girl could throw in the water. I approached the life guard and asked her if I needed to take out the sand my little daughter threw in the water. I appreciate the gesture of JoJo in the food hall for preparing vegetarian food (fried rice with tofu) on request. Overall, the service received at Discovery is wonderful, with beautiful memories except that interaction with that lady.

What an awesome experience, we did the sea venture highly recommend. Food was surprisingly good, coconut crusted salmon was delicious. Such a neat place, are 8 month old had a blast floating around in the water to. Free wine beer soda and slushies all day. If it wasn’t so pricey for a day we’d come back on our next vacation.

Discovery Cove is a magical getaway that takes you through lazy rivers, waterfalls, bird aviaries, monkey and otter exhibits, and so SO much more! It is a magical land tucked away in the heart of Orlando but you would never know it! It’s pure peace. All you see are flowers, tall tropical plants and beautiful clear water as far as the eye can see. Sounds of nature entrap your senses while fun tropical music plays in the background. The food is very good for all inclusive, and they mean all inclusive! Stop by anytime, as many times as you want! (During the current hours of course) The wine and beer flows freely and keeps you hungry for more. You will have no wants or worries while you spend the day in paradise. They literally have thought of everything. Don’t let the price hold you back! Once you go, you’ll see the true value of this adventure and it’s beyond worth the cost. I’ve already been several times and can’t wait to go again!

Great experience! Highly recommend if you like the ocean and want to get closer to sea life without the risk of the wild. Saw sharks, stingrays, dolphins and a bunch of unique fishes. Bring your own goggle if you don't want to deal with foggy goggles. Also highly recommend the wetsuits as they keep you warm from the cold water. Love that the food and lockers and drinks were all included. Great experience. Will be back.

There were things that I really liked but there were also things I found extremely annoying. I’m going to list the pros and con of this place to make it easier. Starting with the pros. This was my first visit to this place. I visited on November 19, 2023. Pros: 1. The dolphin experience was wonderful. I like how the trainers assist their guests. They were really nice and really helpful. It was my first dolphin experience and by far my favorite thing I did. The Sea Venture and the lazy river were also great. 2. The coral reefs were awesome. I also liked how close you were to the Rays and the fish. 3. The scenery was wonderful. I liked the Caribbean feel and the the animals everywhere. I also enjoyed the bird aviary. The lady in behind the counter was really friendly also. 4. The food tasted great along with the ice cream and other treats. Cons: 1. The kitchen staff close everything before closing time. I get that you people are tired from working a long day, but people pay good money to visit here. I expect you guys to wait until 5:00 p.m before you close the drink stations down. This alone annoyed me the most. I went in to get my last drink from the freestyle station and they turned it off early. I was there at 4:40 p.m. , and a woman with black hair basically screamed at me just because I was grabbing a cup. If you are only open til 5:00 you should at least stay open until then, or at least right a sign on your window that say when the drink station close. 2. The employees that walk around always seem like they are in a bad mood. You don’t see much smiles. Occasionally you get one that has a good time and is fun, but I didn’t see that very often. When I asked this one guy a question he answered me with in quote “I don’t know.” 3. The thought the gift shop was a little pricey. It was hard finding items that were under $10. There other things in the park that didn’t seem to work right. This includes some of the sprayers. I was also hoping there would be more clocks to know what time it was. There were only two that I noticed. 4. The park also seemed very busy. I thought you guys limited how many people visit per day? This made some of the food stations, bath houses, and sprayers more crowded. Overall I enjoyed my experience but there are obvious things this park can improve on.

Nice Park to spend a warm December day in the Orlando Area. Kids rated this 9/10 which is the highest they have ever rated a full day activity. We arrived shortly after 9, no rush, had plenty of time to check in (No wait), have breakfast, and feed the birds before they are too full. We left before 4 PM as we covered everything we wanted to do/see and were done for the day. The snorkeling activity was fun for kids and an easy intro for them. We booked the swim with dolphins' activity as well. Food was tasty, plenty of it, and everyone was happy about that. Gift shop prices were a bit high... pictures prices were outrageous (We're talking $240 + tax and fees for the digital photos... which you must have since you want to memorize the activity). Overall, a once or maybe twice in a lifetime activity- worth the price- but would have been nice if souvenirs and pics were reasonably priced. Everything was provided- you just have to show up in your swimming suite and credit card!

Best place ever! All food is included. Wine and Beer as well! Earlier you arrive, the sooner you can start your adventure. Everyone is helpful and really seems to enjoy being there and interacting with the guests. The rainforest is so beautiful. The Birds feel like they’re all around you, the plant colors are so brilliant! My favorite part to be in. Relaxing and so much to look at. The Aviary was indescribable. Up close with birds landing on you eating out of a cup of homemade feed. They love it! The Otters come out to play and be fed. Swim with the Dolphins. And an up close Animal Trek. Worth the money!

We were here for our honeymoon back in November of 2023 and it was an incredible experience. We purchased the cocktail pack, scuba and dolphin experience. We did not book the dolphin encounter online as it was not available at that moment but one of the guest services employees was to help us book it there when we visited. The cocktails were good, but if we go again I would just settle for the drinks included. The scuba experience was great, I was a little scared at first but the instructor was checking on me every here and there to make sure everything was okay. During this experience they offer you a GoPro in case you want to take pictures that you can later purchase. They do advise you that going inside the water you’d feel some pressure on your ears, I didn’t experience any discomfort during or after the tour. Under the water, the guide has a little board that he used to communicate and give a background of the different sea creatures we are seeing. The dolphin experience was our favorite! We met Rose the dolphin, she was super sweet and later found out that she was in a movie?! She’s trained to dance, make sounds and pose on pictures. Food, parking, and snorkel are included. Although the buffet employees and suit rental employees could work on their customer service, Discovery Cove is still a five star experience for me. Just keep in mind that the photo package is a little pricey so bring some extra cash and a water proof phone pouch!

Our experience at Discovery Cove was excellent. From the staff service to the food. What I liked the most was snorkeling 🤿 Seeing so many fish and sting rays passing near me and since they are so used to people they don't get scared. It was amazing 🤩

Discovery cove was recommended to me by a coworker, and I am super glad to have gone. The whole atmosphere of the place is fun/exciting. Staff is very eager to help you with any questions and points you in the right direction. Most of the time there, you'll spend in a wetsuit or wetsuit vest. The lazy river was one of the nicest I've been on! Seaventure was also a highlight; however, I wish it would've lasted longer(~20minutes). They serve breakfast and lunch. Breakfast was pretty good. Several breakfast buffet items to choose from, cereal, eggs, sausage, bacon, French toast, pastries, and fruit. Lunch menu was amazing. There were too many items to list, but all were very good. Definitely a park I'd go back to!

Discovered this hidden gem in Orlando, and it's not your typical aquatic park! Snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, and lazy river vibes – it's all here. Even on a chilly 60-degree day, the heated water made it totally enjoyable. Plus, you get to hang out with flamingos and other adorable critters. Ideal for families and couples looking to have a fantastic day!

There is nothing more satisfying than a day at Discovery Cove. From swimming with rays and thousands of tropical fishes to the interactions with dolphins and birds in the aviary. Eating the freshly prepared food for both breakfast and lunch to the unlimited frozen lemonades. Everything was fantastic. But the place is nothing without the fine folks who work there. Everyone we came into contact with was top notch friendly. From our greeter at the door to Isabela who helped us at the picture place to the photographer who took the perfect pics. They all made our day that much more special. So thank you to all for your dedication and friendliness. We will assuredly be back. Thank you.

One of our favorite parks: however, not in July when it is 95+ with 60+% humidity. Rise of the Guardians is the newest ride - important note use the app to join the virtual cue early in the morning!! We didn't do our research and had to wait until 1 pm to join the cue, finally able to physically join the cue at 715 and on the ride by 815. All I can say is WOW!! Fantastic, fast paced indoor coaster that will take your breath away!! I was thankful the rides are indoors so escape the heat. Once you get to the back of the park to visit the countries, there are a few rides but not many. We ate in England - fish and chips, dessert in Belgium and water in every location we could. They are doing the Food and Wine Festival until Oct 2022 and while there was a good variety available, the cost of eating at multiple places added up quickly. I wish they would have had a pay 1 price and eat as much as you wanted. We missed the show on the Lake - Harmonious because we were in line for Test Track which ultimately went down just before it was our turn. We will be back, but in the heat of July....

While visiting Epcot Orlando, I found that it may not be the best place to be if you're not particularly interested in learning about other countries' traditions and cities. The park's main focus on cultural exploration may not appeal to everyone. Additionally, I noticed that there were only a few rides that kids might truly enjoy, which limited the entertainment options for families. I have to say, I was quite disappointed with the Lightning Pass system. It seemed like a bit of a rip-off, as they only allowed you to use it for a maximum of two or three rides, and then you couldn't use it again. It didn't provide the flexibility and convenience that I was hoping for. Furthermore, the snacks and items available for purchase in the shops were pretty expensive. It would have been nice to see more affordable options for visitors on a budget. One aspect that stood out to me was the lack of provision for hot and bad weather. Unlike other parks like Universal, Epcot Orlando didn't offer opportunities to cool down with periodic water sprays or misters. This made enduring the hot weather quite challenging and uncomfortable. Considering these factors, I personally wouldn't consider Epcot Orlando the best choice for a memorable vacation. I would recommend exploring other attractions and destinations that align more with your preferences and interests."

October 2023 A trip to EPCOT felt like a trip around the world. I found unique, authentic, and eccentric food and merchandise items. It was fun to re-explore this park where always found something new, and with the current construction going on I may have to return. There were some new attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (Virtual Queue or Lightning Lane purchase only) and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (Genie+ preferred). Sadly I did not see as many street performers versus the last time but seems a bit more food options. I did enjoy sampling different Coca-Cola products from around the world and too bad cold not buy the one that tasted like cucumber & Sprite. The food was really good and fun to experiment. The cast members are also from all over the world and very nice and friendly, and wasn’t sure they even spoke English but nodded and smiled. Some of the hidden places either I forgot or never explored was The Land where I rode the Living with the Land. There was a huge atrium with a restaurant called Garden Grill Restaurant, and saw some Disney characters greeting guests. The front section of EPCOT had been renovated and still is where the gift shop was huge. Spaceship Earth looked amazing at night with the LED light display. There was a lot to see and experience where in the past we stayed at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn where recommend it where you can walk to EPCOT. The park is kept very clean and not as congested like theater parks for very easy to walk around.

Fantastic experience for the family. Disney does everything great! The lines for some of the more popular rides are long but that's to be expected. They do a great job of entertaining people in the lines. They think of everything and more. If you can make reservations ahead of time it's recommended. We found a bunch of gluten and dairy free dining options. Hope to come back again someday.

Epcot is a very beautiful, modern park with great attractions and a unique feature: several "stations" representing countries from around the world, with souvenirs and typical food. The rides are very cool, and some offer lighter options for those who don't want too much adrenaline. Additionally, its closing show is extremely beautiful. It's a very large park, and you'll do a lot of walking (like in the others), so always have a water bottle on hand. It's very hot in the middle of the year.

My favorite Disney World park! So beautiful with gorgeous landscaping. Very relaxing to walk around, even when it's busy. I think it has the best overall layout too, and some of the best food options of all the parks. Some very thoughtful and unique attractions too.

Disney is no doubt one of the most magical places on earth! We loved "traveling" through and sight seeing all the different countries portrayed in Epcot. They do such a wonderful job bringing the unique experience as you travel the park. We loved going into the shops and trying the different foods and drinks. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back

A lot of kiosks were closed. One joffee coffee kiosk had employees that would rather talk than serve customers. They had a bee in the muffins/ cookie container and did not seem to care. The rest of my visit was great. We went to nine dragon restaurant and the service and food were excellent. Wish i knew our server name, she was the best. Food hot and delicious. They even made sure what we ordered did not contain or cross contaminate due to allergies. The characters had personalities as usual and even though i am an adult i love them. The person in them make them come alive. I will visit again. So much to do, but put on your walking shoes and stay hydrated.

It's simply amazing. Love how you can walk around the world and eat and drink foods from all over the world. if attending the food and wine festival, you're in for a real treat! Rides are great, shows are great, and the fireworks are superb!

I went to Disney World with my sister in late August, and Epcot was amazing! It seemed like going around the world, going to countries in which Disney movies reside! From the imaginative rides to meeting different characters, it was amazing! (I missed a few characters to meet, but I'll come back in a few years with my mom and get the ones I missed.)

Had a great time! Loved the International theme, people, and food! Rides are some of the best in the USA. Had a lot of marathoners in the morning running through the park which was a hassle but Disney made up for it with free parking. Thanks Walt! 😊

This is the best theme park that I’ve ever been to! Guardians is the best coaster that I’ve ever ridden! Test track is awesome too. I recommend using the Disney vacation club thing to get in late. I was able to use it and get into Epcot from 7pm to 1am and got free snacks, drinks, and experiences. Best time of my life. And also I got on guardians twice. Once at 8pm and another at 1am. Thanks for it mom and dad. Disney is awesome

Amazing park! It’s like a science centre + aquarium + mini world travel type of park. They have lots of food options with great quality. The varieties of food is much better than the other 3 parks. There’s less rides in this park per Se, but most rides are very informative. I enjoy the butterflies garden!

First time back to Epcot in over 30 years. Still my favorite park. There are so many delicious things to try at each of the countries represented. Epcot has some nice rides and attractions too. Christmas must be the best time to go there because there's so much more to do. There are also a lot more adult beverages to try for the holidays. Definitely the best park for the grown ups.

Epcot has always been a wonderful park to visit. My favorite time of year is the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival. My teenagers love Test Track and I love Soarin’ but don’t forget the rides and shows in the countries around the world. There are also characters to meet along the way. Phenomenal dining choices. Plus there’s a Food and Wine Festival! Regardless of your age, there’s something for everyone!

First time visit in 30 years. Enjoyed the experience with two amazing people. Take your best people and a lot of room on your credit card😉😀. We spent the weekend at the Dolphin Resort making access to and from the park attractions easy via walking or boat. The fireworks show at the end was easily seen from the boardwalk. Try the food and drinks around the world. You will not be disappointed.

Drinking around the world was so awesome! This was my first time at Disney and I will add its better to have someone with you and knows where they are going rather than trying to navigate yourself. It was a great self love trip/experience! Oh, also, the Ratatouille ride is super cute! You MUST try! The Souring ride is also super awesome. I felt like I went everywhere I needed to go without a passport! Lol And the fireworks at the end are super cool. Music, screens and water works. Well worth it!

Epcot was super nice! Great park to chill and walk around with your family and friends. If you are a foodie, this is the park for you. They host their annual food and wine festival which unfortunately I didn't get the chance to experience because it started after the day I left. But there's always next time! The rides are pretty good too, especially their new, thrilling Guardians of the Galaxy ride.

Probably one of the best parks overall. Not as many rides as Magic Kingdom but the Guardians of the Galaxy ride was amazing and the food everywhere was great plus the AC on the buildings helped a lot especially on day 3

Epcot is nothing short of a breathtaking journey through cultures, innovation, and imagination. From the moment you step foot in this incredible park, you're transported to a world of wonder and excitement. The World Showcase is a true marvel, offering a vibrant tapestry of cultures from around the globe. Each pavilion is meticulously crafted, providing an authentic experience that celebrates the diversity of our world. Whether you're strolling through the cobbled streets of France or admiring the architecture of Morocco, every corner of the World Showcase is a testament to the attention to detail and dedication of Disney Imagineers. The Future World section of Epcot is a celebration of human ingenuity and innovation. From thrilling rides to interactive exhibits, there's something to captivate visitors of all ages. The Spaceship Earth attraction is a particular standout, offering a captivating journey through the history of communication and human progress. The staff at Epcot are a shining example of Disney's commitment to exceptional guest service. They're friendly, knowledgeable, and go above and beyond to ensure every guest has a magical experience. Whether you're a fan of thrilling rides, a lover of culture and exploration, or simply looking for a place to create unforgettable memories with loved ones, Epcot is the perfect destination. It's a place where dreams come to life, and every visit promises a new adventure. I can't recommend Epcot highly enough, and I'm already counting down the days until my next visit to this enchanting world!

Epcot has many cool aspects to it and one good ride Mission to mars, but overall it's overpriced and kid oriented. Disney doesn't need my money and I probably won't be back (universal is better for adults)

Epcot is going to be on the top of my list to return and go through the different countries for an entire day. I definitely didn't have enough time in the day to enjoy everything this place has to offer!

As an annual pass holder, this is my favorite park at Disney World. There are different themed festivals going on here yearly and the best things about them are the food and drinks. The festivals are what I believe make this park the best. You can't get bored at this place since there's always something fun and exciting happening 😄 This is a beautiful park and I will always choose this park first to visit before the other parks.

A very fan way to spend a couple of days. One day for the front of the park with all the thrill rides and one for the world showcase where you can eat and drink stuff from many different countries. I recommend the fish and chips in Great Britain.

Must see if you are coming to DisneyWorld. Visited during spring and enjoyed the International Flower and Garden festival. It's super busy here but not impossible to move and get on rides. Food and craft offerings from around the world. Alcohol is served at this park.

Magical experience with my 5 year old. It’s a full day of nonstop fun and memories to be savored, not rushed. Food is astronomically expensive in my opinion but otherwise it’s great value. Waited almost an hour and a half to get into Guardians of the Galaxy ride even though I joined the virtual queue at exactly 7 am. Thrilling ride and worth the wait but it’s a commitment. Having dinner at Space 220 and skipping fireworks, toddler is exhausted!

Everything you hear about it is true. Amazing rides and shows (firework and light show finale is truly stunning). Park is kept spotless, and beautifully maintained. Hundreds of staff are always available to help if needs be. Negatives is it's not cheap, make sure you book things in advance if you can, even so expect to do a lot of queuing. Also expect to do a lot of walking!

We went for the flower festival and it was quite fun. However, as a person with a disability I would have expected more from this park. I routinely encountered issues getting on rides because the staff was not clear on boarding procedures. They also simply assume that everyone in a wheelchair is someone that can walk, but simply chooses not to out of convenience. Rides like test track were an absolute nightmare to get in and out of, and I ended up taking a chunk out of my leg doing so. Not a massive one, but enough to bleed for over an hour and require a bandage. Disney really needs to step up their accessibility, because the Universal Parks completely obliterate them in this aspect. Not to mention that it took over 40 hours of waiting on the online chat to get pre-screened for accessibility. I thought that was absolutely pathetic. I'm being very relaxed with my review here, and trying to set aside those negative experiences. It's a nice place and a decent venue when on vacation. But it doesn't quite deserve the massive praise that it gets. There are many, many flaws with this park if you have any kind of disability.

On a gray, blustery Spring Break Friday the park was as quiet as I've seen it in YEARS! It was great - no lines, great food and a good time! The flowers were amazing too- absolutely lovely wherever you looked!

Taste of the world 🌎 and very authentic!! Great scenery and tons of shopping. The rides were a mix of high tech and nostalgia. Guardians of the Galaxy was worth the lighting lane purchase. MUST Experience!!! Fun for everyone.

Very cool! Wish I would have gotten there earlier in the day so I could explore everything. There's so much to see/do/eat/drink! Can't wait to go again!

Disney EPCOT is a must go place in your life. Lots of fun there and kids love it. I enjoyed very much. The mini world is fun. Very busy place and basically the whole world is there. Fireworks and light show is wonderful. It would be one of the best memories in your life.

The amount of information about ecosystems and sustainability was incredible! Very educational, touching and a lot of fun! Didn't manage to see even half of the park in 1 day, so will definitely come again. The guardians of the galaxy are extremely popular, so join the virtual queue early on.

I loved this park. I believe this is one of the coolest Disney parks and is on the same level as Hollywood studios. I like Hollywood studios more because I think I had more opportunities to see characters in the entire parks. And the themes are so realistic that I felt like I was living inside that world. But the roller coasters and rides at this park are definitely great.

Worth a stop if you're in the area! We had some great snacks & did some shopping while seeing the sights. It was a lot of fun for everyone! The lego displays were amazing. The restaurants looked like fun but there was a bit of a wait so we opted for a few snacks to hold everyone over. (The cupcakes were the best ever!)

Very large outside shopping and entertainment district based upon Disney with very unique stores and restaurants such as the M&M and Coca-Cola Stores. Really worth the time to stop by as they have some really interesting themed restaurants with fun nightly music and shows for both young and old. Although it gets extremely busy, they offer free parking garages and plenty of police to feel safe.

The kids had a blast. We went later on in the evening so it wasn’t so crowded. Legoland was pretty awesome. Friendly and helpful staff, clean, maps were pretty simple to follow, and Plenty of options. Life band at night - the kids enjoyed the music and dancing 😌. We ate a T-Rex and the food was actually amazing. They had so many cool things for the kids to look at and do- hands down would recommend and go back.

Worth the visit. So many shops to visit and different restaurants to try. Plenty of parking. It's a big place so expect a lot of walking if you want to check out everything, just make sure you wear comfy shoes. Highly recommended place to visit and I love to go back here. This is a great place for shopping and eating and to enjoy great view.

A great place to do some shopping and dining! There is something for everyone here,from high end designer to budget bargains. Buses and taxis stop here too,making it easy access. You can walk from nearby hotels,and there is plenty of security guards on site. Enjoy!

One of the best places in Orlando to visit. I have been multiple times and it always gave me immense joy to spend time there. Lots of people to see cheering and enjoying their time. Little kids make the environment more joyful and it gives good vibes when you see everyone is happy around you. Nice cafes are there to refresh, plenty of clothing store, toy store for shopping, hot air balloon. Live music show. It has a movie theatre too. So many free parking garages. Overall, its a place with everything you could wish for.! I will definitely again and again and again.! And again.!

This is our first time back since Covid. There was still a security checkpoint, but no temperature taking. The place was nice and clean. It wasn’t overcrowded. We noticed a few things that were added since last time we were there there was a lot more Disney themed items such as the people walking around selling balloons and Disney themed desserts. There is also a cart that was rolling around, presumably led by robots with a lady playing a piano and singing, it gave you the impression of really being at a Disney park.

There is so much to do at Disney Springs. We went just to pass some time before dinner. The atmosphere almost feels like a theme park on its own. Very clean and well maintained, just like I've always associated with Disney parks. I would come spend a day here next time we visit and have more time. Many restaurants and shopping opportunities.

Very nice well maintained shopping area. Good amount of stores to choose from. Plenty of places to park which is free after 6:00 pm. We used their green lot which was easy to find and was free. Some garages are free all day, some charge until 6pm. The green garage was close to the stores just a quick trip down the stairs. What's nice about the garage is there are lights above each spot that let's you know if there are any open spots without having to drive down each row. If it's green there's an open spot. We saw lots of good restaurants and surprisingly fairly priced. Got a nice pair of shorts there cheaper than I could have found at home. The atmosphere was very nice with a good mix of all kinds of people. Would recommend

Always love Disney Springs. The live entertainment every night is awesome and really makes the place come alive. Got to visit the new ice cream shop. Had lunch at chicken guy. Which is always fantastic. And had dinner at earl of sandwich. Always great. Checked out the new m&m store. Definitely worth a trip when you're out that way.

It is really nice to do during the day! If you’re in the area, I would recommend stopping by. There’s tons of restaurants, shops, and activities to do inside. We did not have to pay to park (at least where we were). Super nice to walk around and shop. Lovely view as well.

I have so much fun every time I go downtown. I enjoy the great food and seeing so many people come from different states and countries visiting. I love shopping at the Disney store. I enjoy listening to some Irish music and eating at the Irish pub I highly recommend it.

It’s great to walk around and look at stuff but people are right. Anywhere you go things are CRAZY EXPENSIVE!! You really have to look around for semi-affordable things if you want to buy something. Don’t even get me started on the food oh god. Absolutely nothing is under $25. In all, yes it’s enjoyable, but if you really want to buy something you need to come prepared with a good amount of money.

Disney Springs is absolutely fantastic - a great place to hang out and enjoy the Disney atmosphere - something for everyone here. Large free parking garages, with good open space direction signs and indicators, but be prepared to walk at least a mile or two minimum. Also be prepared to pass through the security check point, same as at the theme parks - lines can be long at busy times but move quickly. Enjoy the seasonal decorations in the late fall and early winter!

Wonderful place, and our story is cool. I live in China. And saw mom, years ago this place led to me becoming a manufacturer. I love the vibe, and out of all the places around d the world, Disney Springs is one of the best. My mom lost her home, and we lost everything. She took a flight being disabled and I was like alright this will be our final trip. Where to go and what's cool? So we went here, I got a nice Coke Cola Shirt and as a growing factory, I want to say the merchandise here is top quality. It beats what we get in any other Disney in Asia. I'm so happy with this place and I suggest it to anyone who is facing a hard time. It's a easy place for your kids and friends. We saw wish here and that was awesome too. So here is to wishing and thanks Disney for being awesome. A town of wishes.

Fun place to knock around and spend time with family. Restaurants could have some long wait time (assuming spots are available), but a few cool places to dine and shop at. Weekend entertainment tends to be better than weekdays.

Huge shopping center with a little bit for everyone. Lots of entertainment and food choices. We went to Splitsville and bowled; kids enjoyed it. There is a ginormous Disney store there that has everything you can imagine. So if you forgot to buy something at the parks, I'm sure that store will have it there. We will definitely go back on our next trip.

It’s tough coming to Disney and finding budget friendly things to do, especially when you don’t have park tickets everyday you’re at Disney. Disney Springs was an excellent place to wander around, do some shopping, people watching and eating. Also, if you’re a big Star Wars fan, there’s a store dedicated to the fan base with a lot of great options only second Hollywood Studios, Galaxy Edge.

Great overall experience, family friendly fun!! Most of the rides close earlier than the park but for the majority of the day there is a variety of activities and sightseeing opportunities as well as picture-perfect moments. In comparison to the Disneyland parks you may feel the lack of staff and attention.

This is the perfect place to spend the day, or an evening out! Parking is free (as of May 2022) and there are so many fun and unique shops. Lots of dining options, treats (Gideons and Salt and Straw are highly recommended) and we saw three different live musical acts in different areas on a Wednesday night! So fun, felt like we were in the parks. A great, budget friendly place to hang out when you are in Orlando!

This place is amazing. It’s always packed, but so many unique things to do for area. They have a lot of one of a kind shops, restaurants, and activities. If you like legos, they have that. If you like a 3 story coke shop with a roof top bar, they have that. If you want to go bowling or watch movie, you can do that. If your a huge Star Wars or Marvel, you are also covered. If you want to take a car for a spin on the lake, we’ll they have that too. I highly recommend going to check out Disney Springs!!!

Our family enjoys making a stop at Disney Springs when visiting FL. Our top places to visit are Star Wars Trading Post, Sprinkles, The Disney Store and the Lego store. The atmosphere is fun, but its crowded. I’ll also mention that visiting in the summer day time hours can be brutal, especially for little ones. We learned it’s best to visit right before sunset. Our kids are 16, 11 and 5. We visited twice while vacationing the last week of June 2023. Once between 12 and 3 pm, and again between 7 and 10 pm. Let’s just say there was a lot less complaining and a lot more enjoying all things Disney Springs when we went in the evening. If you remember, bring a few water bottles with you. I only mention this because water bottles are $3.50-$4.50 depending on where you purchase them. This tends to be a shock for those that aren’t used to “Disney” prices. All in all, our family loves Disney Springs!

There is so much to do and see, and it's definitely worth going. Parking is free and free entry. The cocoa cola shop was super cute. On the 3rd floor, they have a drink shop. You can get a ton of different coke drinks. The M&Ms place the kids will love. They can make their own pound of different M&Ms for different prices between $10 - $25. Depending on how much you get. We paid $17.99 for our cup. Had a ton of other stores, movies, and dining. Great place for family time, a date, or just because.

Definitely worth the visit! Great place for shopping and lots of places to eat! Make sure you walk around the whole place to explore the different stores and restaurants! Plenty of parking, I think Lime garage is the best one. Most of the hotels around the area offers free shuttle rides. So, its always good to check before booking your hotel! Just enjoy and have fun! Kid friendly!

Best shopping, restaurants, and entertainment in that we’ve been to! If you can make it during the holidays, that’s an added bonus because of the numerous themed holiday trees and lights throughout the property. Live music is everywhere and the shopping is almost endless. Don’t forget to visit Chicken Guy as that place quickly became our family favorite (those sauces!!). With numerous parking garages and tons of public transportation constantly coming and going, it’s seemingly always busy but still reasonable to enjoy yourself even with young kids. An absolute visit for an evening if visiting the parks!

Disney Springs in Florida offers a fantastic option for a laid-back evening out. As you stroll around, you'll find yourself immersed in the lively atmosphere, with plenty of dining and entertainment choices to keep everyone happy. We specifically checked out the T-Rex restaurant, which was a hit with its dinosaur-themed setting. Despite the crowds, we managed to snag a spot at the bar and enjoyed some tasty food and drinks with great service. Free parking is plentiful and getting in is straightforward, though you'll need to pass through security. The variety of live music adds to the fun vibe of the place. Overall, Disney Springs is a relaxed and enjoyable destination for a night out with friends or family

Wonderful shopping at Disney Springs! Something for everyone: Lego, Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Tommy Bahama, Columbia, and great restaurants: Rainforest Cafe, House of Blues and so many other options. They have Salt and Straw ice cream as a fabulous option for dessert and Starbucks for coffee or a cold drink. Easy to get to. Free parking or travel by Disney bus.

It was awesome! My first time coming here and it was for my son's birthday! The food was great. I ordered the shrimpalaya. It had some kick to it but it was great! They sung the birthday chant and the cupcake they gave was very moist. I enjoyed the spinach dip, but it could've done just fine without the tomatoes and onions on top. Overall, i would definitely visit again, even with the 1.5 wait.

It was a great experience as it had been at least 10 years in between strolls of this section which is a part of the Downtown Disney area! Great shops and restaurants to choose from and even though it is February, the walk was still vibrant and inviting. So make sure you give yourself the experience of the Springs and check this area out!

Great area to visit to get a little Disney fix for some shopping. Also a good array of eateries varying in price, sit down and quick service style. Bowling and cinemas a good addition for activities. Awesome atmosphere all around with live music often somewhere too.

Fully loaded energy entertainment park,different kinds of delicious foods,mind spring snacks ,especially the car boat travel, its splendid experience . live special dance performances, young girls and boys singing dancing, live volcanoes every 30 minutes, its fire comes out.Loveable ice creams.Dinosarous food park, kids' sand playing area,and building blocks toy shop .Penny worthy toys.colourful Dress shops normal prices ,that parking lot and security checks done their job correctly. Great job. There is no entrance fee .colorways gardens water fountains mind-blowing experience.

Our experience at Disney Springs was absolutely fantastic! We had a blast exploring the lively atmosphere, especially enjoying the talented street singers who added so much fun to our visit. One of our favorite spots was Planet Hollywood, where we indulged in delicious meals that satisfied our cravings. And of course, we couldn’t resist stopping by our favorite shop, Ron Jon’s Surf Shop, to browse through their amazing selection. Disney Springs truly offers something for everyone, making it the perfect destination for a memorable day out.

This place is awesome. It's basically another theme park. Go to the back of the Boat House to see Walt and Marilyn Monroe's personal boats. Don't miss Gideon's. Cold brew is also amazing. Entertainment all over after about 5pm. It's a massive place with I believe 10 neighborhoods. Pretty much always packed but maybe midday when it's the hottest. Go here. I didn't for years and years and regret it. Switchbacks still everywhere.

I loved the exhibition of the Spanish colonial art - very unique, you don't see it often... but the exhibit is temporary. The museum's permanent collections are not large and mostly contemporary. I would go only for interesting tempotary exhibitions. There is plenty of parking there. People were super friendly.

I'm amazed by the magnificent artwork created by those who are from different backgrounds. Also, there's a historical corner leading you back to ancient times by showcasing precious handmade items of ancient people. Recommended!

Artists from Florida works adorn the building. Lots of bright colors and pop sculptures. An abundance of rooms to view. Twenty dollars for adults, twelve dollars for seniors. It’s definitely worth a visit. Comparable to the museum in Tampa, maybe a little better.

My daughter and I came to this museum on a whim as we had some time to kill before a play at Orlando Shakes. I was so glad we decided to come here. At first I was a bit hesitant because I saw the entry fee was going to be $40.00 for the two of us, then I saw Military Veterans, with ID get in for free. So in total, it cost us $8.00 for admission, as my daughter gets a discount as well for her age. Coming in, I knew we made the right choice as the art is phenomenal and displayed with great care. The museum is very well maintained, clean, with professional personnel. Gift shop folks are very helpful as well. All in all, I would get myself a membership here for my family if we were local. They told me they have a Banksy exhibit in the next few years. How cool! Go visit this museum.

It's different everytime of course depending on whats showing, but it's a great little day trip to spend time looking at things to perk up your mind. I've also helped host multiple events here now and it always is a fun mix when guest can explore the meusuem as well

Went with my sin ( a local) and friends. Stimulating conversation. Excellent exhibit. The New Portrait section has a lot of paintings that are food for thought. Great place for a first date. All ages welcome. Front desk guy was Superhelpful. Will revisit soon. Wish they had a restaurant.

Our 3rd year attending the Festival of Trees at the Orlando Museum of Art. It's wonderful! The actual art is a bonus as the trees, wreaths, tablescapes, and gingerbread houses are works of art all by themselves!!! There's also entertainment through out the day. Highly, highly recommended!!! Stay for lunch too, the cranberry/turkey sandwich and large salad are delicious!! Enjoy!!! ❤

Wow was this ever an enjoyable place to visit! The Festival of Trees was beautiful…. It was amazing how my wreaths and trees were there. So many talented people really worked hard putting all these displays together. It was the first time my wife and I and our friends had gone to see it all. AND the art work was fabulous…. We’re looking forward to going back to spend more time reading about the individual artwork pictures. This Festival of Trees is a must see and it will definitely get you into the “Christmas spirit”!!!!

An Orlando icon, OMA is one of my favorite places. Being a hometown kid, I've been going there since elementary school field trips. I have amazing memories of rainy days spent in the kids section with my own daughter. This visit was to see the annual Festival of Trees event and it was spectacular as always. Gorgeous decorations, well planned out, and the staff were right on top of things. Always a nice visit!

Right now, some amazing exhibitions. If Lawrence, the walking docent is there, talk to him. Very knowledgeable. I am so pleased I visited today. Can't say enough good things about what I viewed.

Great visuals across a wide spectrum of art. Multiple price categories: Adults: $20 Seniors (60+): $12 Students: $10 with valid ID Children Ages 6-17: $8 Ages 5 and Under: Free Active-Duty Military, Veterans and First Responders: Free with valid ID Museums for All: $3 with valid SNAP EBT Card and ID Family Bundle! 2 Adults and up to 3 children: $45 (must be purchased at front desk)

I've been to all the different type of museum and countries. First of all, museum itself is very compact. You can finish tour in an hour. $20 entrance fee… hmm Kind of itchy to me. Arts are display with reproduction.

I visited Orlando for a conference and honestly I didn’t have a great experience exploring Orlando; however, this museum really turned it around for me. I visited an hour before it was meant to close early, and I was given a discounted ticket. The staff were so lovely, the shop is so sweet. The exhibitions are beautiful and the atmosphere is so serene, I really enjoyed the Mesoamerican exhibition. I’m so glad I visited this museum! Highly recommended.

A very small museum and compared to the volume of the exhibits the fee was pretty high. Aside from that I was pretty shocked when seeing a sculpture(the one in the garden)covered in dust 😢 Please clean it.

Very beautiful museum for local artist. First time visit my son’s art was chosen to be in the student gallery for a month. Wonderful place to enjoy beautiful local art. They also have events and different art features every month. Cool books in gift shop!!!!

Had a great day at Family Day with musical story time with the Orlando Philharmonic! The kids enjoyed making some of their own art as well as exploring the art on exhibit!

Nice visit, easy to walk through galleries. Interesting collection of artifacts particularly vessels (no photography of those), beautiful paintings, and currently a good set of illustrations from Loren Long.

The best place to take an non verbal autistic child as well as teenagers!! My autistic 6 year old was so excited and so happy to be at this place!! You can spend all day in this place and never finish all the cool and educational things too. The art sculptures outside the museum are gorgeous.

Enjoyable atmosphere. I was in town visiting family and took a stroll through the museum. Certainly dedicated towards kids/teens more so than adults yet enjoyable regardless. Museum is well kept and has plenty to see. The planetarium was certainly the best part. Also, a fantastic tree right in the middle of museum that is wonderful to look at.

A very fun experience! My first time here. Came with my family and I will say that their exhibits are pretty cool. The "be a meteorologist " exhibit was definitely my favorite! It was a great place e to visit for both kids and adults 😀! A must visit

My daughter and I love this center! It’s so much fun for the little ones and adults too! Lots of opportunities to learn from science, animals, cycle of the water, dinosaurs, they have two movie theaters there presenting instructive movies for the whole family. Definitely a place to visit!

So much for children to do and everything was so much fun for my 4 year old son. We spent the whole day here and had a hard time getting him to leave. I would recommend paying attention to the movie schedule and hitting up the CineDome early. That was my highlight as an adult. There is plenty of other stuff for the kids to do.

Spent a little over 3 hours with the family here. Our 10 year old loved this place. Lots of interactive and informative spots throughout the center. My daughter loved the beehive to be able to create thrilling artwork. Overall a good experience they are currently under remodeling, so the 2nd floor is half closed. The experience as a whole was great for the family, and the coffee is pretty good.

We went as 2 adults ($48). 4 floors at centre, bit disappointed as only dinosaur related in one room on 4th floor. We didn't realise it was more focused on children's learning (our mistake). Just bear in mind if looking to visit like us thinking there would be more dinosaurs. Cafe was great on the ground floor. Got a salad for $6.99 which was fresh and delicious. Overall, great place to bring kids 😊

My son had a wonderful birthday party I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ORLANDO SCIENCIE CENTER for your kids birthday party, they had so much fun, learning, doing different stuff, the part of the experiment was magical, thanks to the host Carmen, Bobby, Reagan and the coordinator Shelby, I really love it! So far have been the best birthday party for my Son

Such a great time every time we go. Last weekend we went to adult science night and we were able to catch one of the star-link launches. The staff was amazing by letting us know about the launch and guiding us to the outside balcony so we can see it. The organization, the food and the drinks were amazing! Shortly after we were able to go upstairs to see the moon.

The prettiest collection of stained glass that I have ever seen. A Must-see location! This is located on the north of downtown Winter Park and to the west of Lake Osceola. Parking can be found on the street (many places are 3-hour open spots) and in a parking garage just south of the building. The building has many parts to it. You enter through the north door along the west side of N Park Avenue. You pay at the counter and are (at this time) required to wear a mask. General admission is $6/person. It is the best deal in the city for what you can see. There are numerous rooms explaining the various types of art that were explored. There are numerous paintings, sculptures, blown glass, stained glass, furniture, jewelry throughout the museum. There are whole rooms recreated to show the beautiful artwork in its original atmosphere: a chapel, a dining room, etc. It is absolutely beautiful. There are numerous places that show how some of the work was created. Once you are done, you exit through the gift shop which has some wonderful products illustrating some of the artwork. Many of the exhibits have a number that can be accessed through a podcast-like app to give you more data on the item. Be careful to keep the volume down or the museum guards will ask you to lower it. I liked this museum so much I would have given it a 5 but for the fact that they require masks. This is an absolute must-see location that I highly recommend for all my fellow travelers.

This is a lovely museum, and a surprisingly large one for the low price of admission. The beautiful art is amazing, and the items saved from Tiffany's house and lovingly recreated in the gallery spaces is really remarkable. If you're looking for a day away from the theme parks in Orlando, try this and the Leu Gardens that are close by for a change of pace. It will be worth your time.

A+++ if you like stained glass it's a must to see. We hit timing just right (God's timing for sure) and got a small tour from Phyllis who felt like she was part of the museum. Whatever they are paying her, it is probably not enough. She is a gem and made the place that much more exciting with all her knowledge and excitement with the pieces of art. Some pieces are just breathtaking. If you study the pieces for a while you keep finding more hidden gems within each piece. Some of our favorites are in the pictures.

Very impressed with the museum. I have been to winter park a few times and walked by but never checked it out. I went on a Friday night where it was free entry after 4 or 5. I had no idea what to expect and it was much larger than I thought also. Tons of Tiffany glass and art. Could go back and spend more time there for sure! Definitely recommend

Absolutely breathtaking museum. Didn't even know this place was here, which is such a shame knowing now all of the beauty stored within. Gorgeous art, spectacular Tiffany stained glass works, and lovely pottery. The Chapel was awe-inspiring and vast, with so much fun history attached to it. The staff and security crew alike were both polite and well-informed, adding to the gentle atmosphere. Entry fee was STUPID cheap, but the gift shop is where they get you hard. Come prepared to spend some cash on a lovely replica!

This was a much larger and more comprehensive museum than I expected. It has all things Tiffany - windows, lamps, pottery and jewelry. In addition it also has a nice selection of paintings by American painters, notably painters from the Hudson River School such as Albert Bierstadt. The interior of the museum is beautiful. Tiffany's Daffodil patio with Tiffany columns is nicely located in an area surrounded by floor to ceiling glass allowing a beautiful view of the outdoor courtyard and gardens.

Love this place. Visited for a friend who is crazy about stained glass and ended up enjoying it. The museum shop was wonderful and the associate there was very helpful. Highly recommend if you are around and love art.

This is an absolutely beautiful museum housing the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany along with other Victorian Era artisans. We did not have enough time! Recommend at least 2 hours to really enjoy the museum and see everything.

Stunning museum! Perfect size; it’s not too big but has plenty to look at. The only inconvenience is that the details for each piece are printed on booklets for each room. It would be more user- and environmentally-friendly if the info was placed next to each piece like it is in most museums. Well worth the admission price.

Decided to do something different with my kids and found this gem and we were impressed to say the least. Loved it! So much to see, it's definitely a place to visit several times. It's nice that they have a self guided tour and info available for each exhibit. Very affordable, parking is in front of the entrance.

Tiffany glass never gets old...it only gets better. These are my sentiments for the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum as well. Each year when we visit Florida, I love to stop and have lunch on Park Ave in one of their many cafes then head on over to spend the entire afternoon looking at all the Tiffany glass works both old and new. Each piece appears different based on the lighting of day and it has a timeless appeal. So if you find yourself in the Orlando area don't miss this museum and lunch on Park Ave. I can guarantee you, you will return again ❤️ and again ❤️ and again ❤️! On Friday's from April - November admission is free in the evening.

This is a really unique museum. Tiffany is in here, which is super cool! It’s quite large, and you can certainly spend a lot of time in here. For Rollins students, the cost is only $1. I think there’s very much to see here, many pieces you wouldn’t expect either. Some pieces were original pieces in Charles Morse’s home - take a look here!

This museum exceeded my expectations! When I heard I could see the largest Tiffany glass collection for $6 I didn’t expect much but boy was I wrong. This museum is the perfect size! It’s such a diverse collection of art that anyone who visits this museum should leave inspired by the works of Tiffany. If you’re interested in Tiffany glass or need to escape the Florida heat don’t hesitate to stop by, you won’t be disappointed.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum, and I must say it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Upon arriving at the museum, I was immediately captivated by the pleasant ambiance and inviting atmosphere. The museum is located in a charming area of Winter Park and the exterior alone exudes a sense of tranquility. Stepping inside, I was greeted by a vast collection of art that truly impressed me. The museum is renowned for its extensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany, This museum is a delightful gem. With its impressive collection of Tiffany lamps and exquisite art, it offers a pleasant and captivating experience. The seating area overlooking the garden adds tranquility, while the well-stocked gift shop is a perfect place to find unique souvenirs. Making payment in advance through the website ensures a seamless visit. Overall, my visit to the museum was a truly enjoyable experience. The pleasant ambiance, the exquisite art collection, Tiffany lamps, and the serene garden view all contributed to a memorable day.Highly recommended for those seeking a peaceful escape.

A great surprise! A diamond in Winter Park. A beautiful collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany legacy. The place is wonderful, the chapel is gorgeous! The Museum store is full of elegant pieces with affordable prices! A must!!

This is a great museum that everyone should visit! They have amazing art that takes your breath away. The pricing is very reasonable, too. Actually, I visited on a Friday when they had an open house and admission was free!

I was surprised to find Tiffany and company was about so much more than just lamps. extensive display of breathtaking tiffany glass art. admission priced affordable enough to bring the whole family.

This museum is a hidden gem here in central Florida. I loved the Tiffany artwork. My favorite exhibit was the chapel. All the glass artwork was a beautiful in each way. The only complaint I have is they told us we could not bring our stroller in but while walking around we saw two other families with strollers the same size as our own. I felt uncomfortable due to this and decided to leave.

An absolutely joyful and beautifully curated small museum. Dedicated to the stain glass and ceramic works of renowned American artist Louis Comfort Tiffany (of the Tiffany lamps fame) and the precious salvaged interiors of his Laurelton Estate. The complimentary literature that accompanies each room exhibit is so well-crafted and joy to read. Thoroughly enjoyed wandering through each beautiful room. The gift shop is a treasure trove and such a delight. Highly recommended and a worthy antithesis to Orlando’s theme park plagued personality!

The museum was lovely with beautiful collection especially from Tiffany’s. Good place to know about Tiffany&Co history, there’s many collection in here. Very recommended place to go.

The largest collection of Tiffany glass in the world. The collection includes the priceless Tiffany Chapel made for the 1893 World Colombian Exposition. It is over 1000 square feet in area including the baptistery. The museum is overwhelming and takes at least 4-5 hours to appreciate. There is also a rare Tiffany carpet. Highly recommended. Not to be missed while in Winter Park.

We have been to the old tree many times but have only gone inside a couple. Today, during a long walk, one of our group had an emergency stop needed and the museum was the closest place. We decided to go in and look around. It was only $5 for adults and $1 for the kids. Many of the exhibits change every few months. The one room had paintings that appear to be backlit but the staff explained the projection lighting they use to achieve the effect. They were very sweet. We had a lovely visit so i guess sometimes when you need to go, you'll end up where you need to be.

First time visiting and it was an exquisite experience. Looking forward for the new Mennello Museum

It's ok, not many paintings, some statues. There were many paintings of afro American painters which I found were intriguing. Small museum.

The Mennello Museum of Art is owned and operated by the City of Orlando in Loch Haven Cultural Park. Although a small museum with two galleries, it presents temporary exhibitions featuring American art. A photo exhibition on the Underground Railroad opened recently. We learned about self-taught folk artist, Earl Cunningham, whose exhibition is a permanent collection. He has an interesting history: leaving his native Maine and eventually settling in St. Augustine. Cunningham's work uses brilliant colors and interesting perspectives. He painted for over 40 years and was fond of nature, ships and had a fascination with the Seminole Indians. The grounds of the Mennello are a sculpture garden featuring 23 sculptures and adjacent to the Lake Formosa Neighborhood. A self-guided walking map is available in the museum. With the exception of a few pieces gifted to the museum by the artist, the sculptures are owned by the City of Orlando Public Art Collection. Every Sunday, yoga is offered lakeside. Tickets include a pass to enjoy complimentary admission to the museum. Every second Sunday of the month is Free Family Funday - free museum admission all day. The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday 10:30-4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 12-4:30. Closed Mondays and major holidays. Museum admission: Adults $5; Seniors (60+) $4; Students with valid ID and Children 6-17 - $1; Children under 6 and active, retired military and veterans with ID - Free. The museum has plans to add an additional 40K square feet of exhibition to the existing building. Parking is pretty limited; we were fortunate to find a space. I hope parking is expanded with the addition. We spent a couple of tranquil hours on the property; a beautiful place to stroll and be at peace. It is also a great place for kids to run around and burn off energy. We did not know about this lovely spot until we did a TripAdvisor search for things to do near our hotel.

I attended a yoga session in the sculpture garden, which was beautifully landscaped and scenic. Afterward, I explored the museum, which had its own unique charm and majesty. The museum was currently featuring the works of a Pakistani-American artist, which were thoughtfully presented and displayed. Although the museum isn't particularly large, its cozy size adds to its warm and inviting ambiance. Overall, I had a delightful visit and highly recommend taking the time to explore both the grounds and the museum.

Although small, it was a nice little museum to look around and learn some history. The displays were interesting and informative. Don't expect to be here all day. Maybe 2 hours tops. There is a nice small sculpture garden outside as well. You pay a small fee to go in the museum but well worth it.

Great student discount! Fun exhibits, small size. Quick 30-45 minutes to see everything. I also recommend visiting the enormous, stunning tree outside—it’s a whole art museum of itself.

We went on a day when admission was free and they had a children's activity outside. The museum provided all the supplies for the kids to create their own masterpieces! My kids had a great time and got to take their creations home!

They do have family day, which is free. You would need to confirm which days it is available. Various sculptures outside and inside. Beautiful various artists' artwork on display inside

It's a bit small, but absolutely worth the $5 they charge to get in. They even have a free day every so often. The collection is fantastic and you can spend as long or little enjoying it as you want, within museum hours. They also have expansion plans, with a model and description of their plans inside the museum. Very exciting stuff! It's a hidden gem in Orlando and definitely worth exploring if you haven't been before or if it's been a while.

Great place to get pictures by the iconic universal globe and many other uniquely themed attractions like the hard Rock Cafe and the chocolate factory. It was nice that the central location was easy to get to and free to explore. I went to an event at the hard Rock Cafe and it was absolutely awesome. We also had some chocolate at the chocolate factory. Make sure to take the water taxi to one of the hotels, even if it's just to look around and ride back on the next water taxi.

This place was a great visit. I mean, it's packed but so nice. Of course the price of eventful is marked up to get the most out of us tourists. I wish I planned more time to see everything. Great views and a nice place for family pictures. If you go after 6p the parking is free. If you have littler kids who get tired quickly, definitely bring their strollers.

The City Walk at the Universal Studios Orlando is a fantastic choices for visitors who are looking for some entertainment. I stayed in the hotels at International Drive and it’s accessible by cars, or taxis within 5/10 minutes. You’ll find it easy to park. There’s plenty of bars and restaurants featuring some themed parties and events all year round.. You’ll find all facilities required for an evening of enjoyment. Definitely recommend a visit if you’re around.

My girl and I went to see Dane Cook and he was awesome. They were pouring triples, not singles or doubles. The prices were a little steep and they were very strict but all and all in was a good time. They did charge my girlfriends debit card for something we didn't buy.

During my recent visit to Universal CityWalk in Orlando, I found it to be a bustling hub of nightlife and entertainment. The 30-acre complex boasts an array of clubs, restaurants, and shops. The atmosphere is electric, especially at night when everything is brilliantly lit up. It's a fantastic place for photography enthusiasts, with plenty of picturesque spots. However, there are some downsides. The area mainly offers dining experiences, with limited other activities. While the entry is free, the cost of food and beverages is quite high. I also noticed a lack of healthy food options, which might be a concern for some visitors. The restaurants can get crowded, and we experienced slow service. Overall, Universal CityWalk is a lively destination, perfect for an evening stroll and casual dining. It's an essential part of the Universal Orlando experience, but visitors should be aware of the costs and limited variety of activities beyond eating and shopping.

A mesmerizing experience when you walk through the Universal CityWalk in the evening. The calm lake and the bright lights give you a blend of nature and man-made beauty. There are plenty of options to explore and enjoy restaurants, desserts, and a number of photography spots. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

We went with friends to enjoy the rest of our evening for a few hours and grab some dinner. It's free to enter the park but park is expensive and varys during the time of day that you park. Plenty of restaurants, shop and photo ops. A great place to get a taste of the park if you don't have all day to spend or if your not sure about paying to enter.

Great area for overpriced merchandise and food shopping. It's a nice area to walk around before or after going to Universal. They have lots of options to eat and shop. They also have what looks like a great place to play mini golf and go to the movies. The area is only free for parking after a certain time of the day if you just wanted to go to City Walk then go when it's free to park. It has great views and it decorated nicely especially around the holidays.

Highly recommended place for the entire family. It's free entry, and one can easily spend half or full day here. There are lots of shops and restaurants in the city walk. No matter the time of the day, the place will be crowded, so be ready for that. Have good walking shoes. I would definitely go back, if in the local area.

It’s fun to walk around even if you don’t go into the park. You can walk in all the buildings and around the lake. Lots of fun nights at light and pretty at sunset. Lots of places to eat and free parking in the evening. Lots of live music. Very busy every day of the week but fun for adults or kids.

We love going to the movies, and it was our first time trying the theater on the city walk. It was great. The only downside is that during Halloween time (fright nights), start the 1st of September, and you have to pay for parking. Usually starting 6 pm it's free to park. I think it was $25 for parking. Don't quote me on it. But after the movies, it was great to walk around. The Bob Marley restaurant was good for the vibe, and the restaurant beside it was as well.

It has a great selection of food and drink. Great place to have dinner after a day in the parks. Then just hop on the boat to take you back to your hotel.

What more can i say except that this is Universal Studios and fun can be had by the young and old. Please keep in mind that there is alot of walking and can be hot. If off season is warm i can imagine what mid-summer would feel like so plan according to that. Other than that i had a blast

Awesome experience walking the CityWalk at night!! Definitely come w an empty stomach, because there's enough food variety to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters 🤣 Great photo opportunities and plenty of parking. Had a great time bringing the family here 👍🏾

Parking is 30 dollars but easy enter and exit CityWalk itself is very small. Only few stores for shopping Mainly restaurants and dessert places The whole walk would take about 20-30 minutes around If you want more shopping and walking, i recommend Disney Spring This is basically just a small entrance to Universal Studio Not worth the visit

If you have to pick one, Disney Springs is way better. Universal has a smaller area to walk and fewer options to eat and hang out. If you have time, explore both. However you won't miss much. The thing I loved the most was the universal earth rotating. Felt nostalgic seeing it since childhood. The voodoo donuts were good. We enjoyed those and walked along the path. Parking was ample but $30 per car since the park entrance was through the city walk. It was a good overall experience.

Always a fun place to visit. I've been coming through City Walk since it opened. It's amazing to see all the changes throughout the years. Great selection of places to eat and drink, our favorite is Margaritaville followed closely by Voodoo Doughnuts. The Universal Legacy Store is the best for old school Universal merchandise.

City walk is a great place day or night. It has lots of eateries from upscale to fast food. There are also lots of shops and there is even a cinema. So if your looking for a snack or just a drink at a bar with friends or even a family meal with the kids this is the perfect place.

It was a nice visit. We were on a cruise and didn't have time to really get through the park. We rode 2 rides and left. Transformers was fun. Fast n Furious, ehh, save your time.

Although we tend to go to Disney Springs because it is closer to our Blue Heron 1005 vacation rental condo, Universal City Walk is a great alternative for restaurants and some shopping. Located about 10 minutes up the I4 it is easy to get to and parking is free after 600pm. Restaurants include one of our favorites, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. Hard Rock restaurant is also very popular. Lots of other great choices as well.

Plenty to see and excellent places to hangout for drinks or grab some good food. Definitely take the water taxi for convenience or a great ride to the hotels and back. Nice break even if you don't happen to be staying in an area Loew's hotel.

Where to start... I've been in Florida over two weeks now and went to Toothsome last night. It is now my favourite place to eat!!! (I cant stop talking about it) The food was AMAZING!! If you have a sweet tooth make sure you save space for dessert because the Sundae's and the chocolate mousse are delicious. The burgers were so good, usually when I go out to eat and order a burger I'll only finish half of it and in toothsome I ate the entire burger.. it was exquisite. I'd 100% recommend a visit if you can get there. (It's easy to find as its such a huge beautiful building)

I have only ever heard of this place as a place to get a milkshake (with cake on top) on the way back to the resort. We sat down for dessert (and some AC) and we looked through the rest of the menu and this place looks amazing. We want to go back for dinner and try the whole menu, so many dishes sound amazing. We got the pineapple upside down cake shake, it's vegan, but besides the texture of the cake, you couldn't tell the shake wasn't ice cream. It was amazing. My wife also ordered the chocolate mousse to go and loved it. It was packed in a child's beverage cup and she couldn't finish it. She ate some every day for 3 days including putting it on her bagel and still sadly tossed it when we checked out, it made her very sad. The steampunk aesthetic is amazing, the animations are mesmerizing, and the staff is very attentive.

This was the best meal so far since we arrived in Orlando. The server was knowledgeable in the gluten-free options and very friendly. The food was fantastic. We even had a visit by some characters. The deserts were the best we ever had. Totally stuffed after visiting. I just had to go back to the hotel and sleep.

I wish I could give the atmosphere higher than 5 stars, but I can't. 🤣🤣 I highly recommend making a reservation if coming here after 530, as it gets very very busy. I made reservations at 6 and we arrived around 540 and was seated very promptly. Our waiter was super awesome. I can't remember his name, I'm sorry 😭😭 The chocolate almond bread was so good. It had such a plethora of flavors. From savory to sweet, to downright delicious with the chocolate. I ordered the pub burger. It was quite delectable. Kettle chips on a burger are yum yum. I also ordered a limited time milkshake, which was so so good. The French fries were also seasoned well and crispy. The toothsome robot and wife also came by to say hello, which was a nice addition. I give the overall.experience 4.5/5☆ 😊😊

This place really should be way better than it actually is - it could be so so amazing with some changes to management/service. Ambiance and decor are really awesome like everyone says, but it’s chaos inside and they’re not able to handle the volume well. Our server was apologizing to us and every table the whole meal about being slow; we saw that the manager(?) was brought over to one table and others also appeared disgruntled. It took 20 minutes after seating before we were able to order even water, and our entrees came after an hour. What’s bizarre is that the place is so popular, you would think they’d want to be more efficient to turn tables over more quickly. I definitely wouldn’t try this place without a reservation; they’re so slow that we didn’t see a single new table around us being sat in the 2 hours we were there. Chocolate almond bread was super dense and didn’t quite work. Not that sweet actually but wouldn’t recommend. Chocolate wings had a great flavor, but the chicken they used is so tiny (??) Our burgers were pretty good but honestly nothing you can’t get elsewhere. My husband said that he enjoys his burger at Red Robin more. 🥲 we were celebrating his birthday and we had noted that on the reservation; however, it was totally ignored and never brought up. Because of the long waiting/service we decided not to stay to try a shake, even though I was excited to try the key lime one. Not sure who is managing this restaurant, but it isn’t working. Needless to say we will not return unless significant changes appear to have occurred. :(

Place is nice, reminds me of the Edison at Disney springs. Sucks you have to pay parking just to eat there, $27. Made reservations online the day before and didn't have to wait long, maybe 10 mins. After looking at Yelp reviews to figure out what to try. We ordered the chocolate almond bread, which is good if you're a chocolate lover. The crab artichoke dip, the crab didn't mix well with the dip, as it was very over powering, would have just loved the dip without the crab. The potato croquettes and BBQ chicken, were the best from the order, def would get again. For dessert I got the cookie jar milkshake, loved all the different cookies it came with. Our waitress was very attentive, she checked on us a good amount of times. The menu is pretty extensive, def look over before to figure what you want.

This place is dessert Heaven. I do not recommend the food. The milk shakes are great and you keep the plastic souvenir cup that it comes in. I don’t think anyone can finish those super milk shakes. The staff was very nice and it was very crowded. It is located right outside of Universal studios. We waited an hour to get a table. Which is typical. They have characters that walk around to the tables and talk to you. It’s very pretty and unique inside. You can get dessert and various items to go downstairs on the main floor. We took the elevator to get to our table upstairs. Our food was awful. My daughter had to send her burger back because it was cooked so dry and had a weird taste to it. I had chicken risotto which was horrible. I sent my food back as well and opt not to get another dish. The pasta had no flavor and the tenderloin was tough. The loaded gator tots was okay. They were salty. They have a full menu of Shake options. They also serve brunch. None of the alcohol drinks looked worth ordering. If I go back I will go back for dessert only.

This is a cool place to hang out for an extended break. I cannot speak to the food, but, clearly, the reason to show up are the chocolate desserts. They look incredible and everyone that gets them raves about them. I have yet to see one served that doesn’t require two people minimum. I come here for the bar. It’s on the second floor and there is always seating. The bartenders are always friendly and make good drinks, even with a somewhat limited inventory. The bar has a window around it that is a good place to sit and watch the river and city walk. Drinks are pricey, but that’s to be expected.

Toothsome has great food and awesome theming. Unlike some restaurants, you may need some strategy before you start. 1. If you think you don’t want dessert and can live with seeing amazing milkshakes and other desserts going by and will not regret not saving room, go for an entree and enjoy. 2. If you want to save room for dessert, then order some of the scrumptious appetizers to share around and then go all in with the milkshake. 3. If you have your heart set on an entree you can share it or take a portion home with you. That will also leave room to go all out on the dessert menu. Penelope and her brother made a nice stop at our table and discussed the hats that we were wearing. Amanda was an excellent host to our table and accommodated all our needs I highly recommend Toothsome

For a theme park restaurant, I feel like there was really good value here. For 3 adults, 3 entrees, 1 soda, 2 milkshakes, and 1 dessert, it was only $120. The food was surprisingly good. The mushroom risotto, even though it stated had truffle oil in it, tasted nothing like truffle. It was good though, very earthy because of the mushrooms. My husband ordered the Chicken Bercy and cleaned the plate (which says a lot because he sends back food often). The milkshakes were HUGE...I didn't even get through a third of mine but it wasn't a waste of money because you get to keep the jar. We had a reservation and they only seated us 10-15 past the reservation time. The atmosphere is fun and they had a few characters walk around to visit the tables. I would return and maybe try some of the apps that also looked good.

Went for lunch. Burger ordered medium well was definitely well done and my son's steak was burnt. All the food, burgers, steak, and a flat bread pizza was average. This is a place for desserts. Peanut Butter cup sundae was excellent. Our server was slow and we waited about 20 minutes just to pay the bill (husband went and bought items from the gift shop twice while we waited). The walk around characters never came to our table even though they came to tables near us. This is a one and done for us. If we go back it will just be to the gift shop counter for bakery items or milkshakes.

This place is cool. I really liked it. It's a fun place with a steam punk vibe with a candy store. Now with that being said place it stupid expensive in every aspect. The milkshakes are like 16 bucks. They should be half that price. Food is better than average. This may be the best place to eat around the parks. Really only knock I have is the prices but hey if you eating here or thinking about it there's a good chance you're on vacation so why not spend a little more and have an experience.

Me and my daughter made a reservation here and were not disappointed! The staff was excellent and our server was very attentive, filling our drinks when she noticed they were at half full, asking us how good the food and snacks were, etc. Service and food was great and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Orlando Studio theme parks. The chocolate options were absolutely amazing, the mascots were cool. The chocolate bar was amazing as well. The outside seating had heaters and that helped because during the night it was around 55 degrees outside, and that’s where we waited when we showed up before our reservation time. The atmosphere is very clean and neat. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

We came for Valentine's day and had a 10 o'clock reservation. Since the moment we sat we were being rushed. We were still waiting for our dinner to arrive and the server was telling us the kitchen was closing and if we wanted to look at dessert. We opted out being we still have not received our dinner. When we asked for condiments we were told by the server they will try but the kitchen is closing. We didn't notice our server rushing the couple right next to us. Plus mediocre food, stale fries and bread. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience and we will not return or recommend this place to anyone.

The atmosphere was wonderful. Steam Punk theme. Service was good. Food took a while, but was worth the wait. The portions were big, and it was delicious. My only drawback was the confections on the gift shop side. They looked much better than they tasted. Macaroons were soft and the brownies were dry. The Milkshakes are a must try!

This place is absolutely delicious! I have heard so many rave reviews about visiting the chocolate emporium and I'm so glad that we made the stop when we were in the area. The food is delicious, the cocktails are amazing and unique, the shakes are incredible! The design of the restaurant is absolutely stunning, there is a beautiful steampunk vibe throughout. The service is impeccable. I really can't say enough good things about this restaurant. There are vegan and vegetarian options available, The shake in my photos is actually vegan and you would never know it. Totally delicious. Plenty of food choices for everyone. And also accessible!

These are definitely as good as they look... This is the hardest place to get a reservation for dinner if you don't book days in advance or possibly weeks. Lunch: had to come back here and sit inside and since they were full we did lunch. The waffle with berries was amazing and the French toast was really good too. The Reuben, I would not recommend especially since it hardly has any cabbage to speak of on it. The chicken was okay and something different to have than a burger but nothing special. I can't say this enough, you cannot miss the desserts here!!! Best shakes of my life!

For over $300 our party of six had subpar food, crab & artichoke dip had zero crab flavor (I seriously think they didn’t put crab in it). My New York Strip steak was over cooked and bland, asked for medium and it was definitely well done. Our waitress took a very long time to come take our order, and when she finally did show up, we felt rushed and she looked annoyed, like she was already ready to go home. Plus she kept forgetting to get us drink refills! The atmosphere was great. The woman in costume and her robot friend were very entertaining! They stopped by every table and talked with the guests, took pictures and made sure everyone was having a fun time. The sweets store was also very nice. It would have been a great evening had we not actually come there to dine….

Had an outstanding dining experience! I didnt make dinner reservations but went straight upstairs to the bar and found a seat right away. The food was excellent and prepared just right. The bartenders were friendly and very helpful and the drinks were spot on. The atmosphere was awesome and everyone is in a festive mood. Really enjoyed the steam punk setting and Penelope and Jaque robot that walks around. Oh, the chocolate....out of this world and a huge selection with something for everyone! I highly recommend you give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

What an awesome way to end our vacation! Toothsome came recommended to us by family, and what a great experience it was. Penelope Toothsome and Robot Jacques visited us at our table and entertained the kids, and the waiter was very fast and attentive. My amazingly were the CHOCOLATE WINGS! We were fighting over who got the last one! The sandwiches were all good, and the kids ice cream treat at the end was GIGANTIC! Worth the money for the food and the experience.

The flatbread was good and the rest was good too. Yeah. It’s heavy and it maintain my diabetes and brings me closer to obesity. But well. The food is delicious. It’s sweet. I was hesitant to take this steak but it was good actually. I would recommend it. The apple pie desert was great too!

Great service and atmosphere along with really tasty food With a twist. If you have a sweet tooth or a savory one it's a great place to go. Just remember to do reservations a WEEK OR TWO ahead of time so you can get a table. Definitely worth it. Recommend the chocolate bread for a starter and any of the waffles.

The food awesome and the dessert was just as good. The staff were also very kind and caring. It was my birthday and they definitely made it special. I do recommend having a reservation because it got very busy at lunch time but if you had a reservation the service was quick and the food was served very efficiently. Great overall experience

We stopped in here for brunch and ate at the bar. The brownie milkshake was amazing and the food was a bit middle of the road. I ordered my burger well done and I realize doing this will end up with mixed results depending on the place and unfortunately for this place well done means burnt and it was too bitter for me to eat. We stopped back in for another milkshake a couple days later and can say the 5x chocolate shake is not as good as the brownie shake, it’s still good but just the same. Overall I recommend going as it’s a cool atmosphere and hopefully your food s better than mine.

This place is awesome. I have been here several times and loved it each time. The atmosphere is amazing, and the service has always been awesome. The food is great and the desserts are to die for as expected. I love just looking around and enjoying the atmosphere of the place. This is a place you must visit when in Orlando.

The experience is a mixed bag. The vibe inside is cool and the chocolate counter is great, there were a lot of good options and they all tasted great. The savory meals were a bit underwhelming. The chocolate bread w/ caramel butter appetizer is surprisingly savory and really good. The chicken bercy was bland as hell and had a toxic burnt taste from the char. My boyfriend's burger was fine but nothing special. Milkshakes were also overly hyped--they look pretty, but they're just average. The hazelnut one literally just tasted like chocolate, and the seasonal Chinese new year one was unique but we didn't finish it. Servers were pretty spread thin and it was hard to get someone a lot of the time.

Word that comes to mind after my experience, disappointing! First visit and last for sure. Zero food quality. Ambiance was blah 😑 food took to long to be served. Presentation dull. Portions super small for what you pay for. In general nothing memorable 🥹 sorry we wasted time waking up so early to make our reservation time of 9:30am 🤦‍♀️

This place has a great ambience with a cool candy theme all over. We went for lunch on a Saturday and didn't have to wait longer than 15 minutes for a table. Service was quick. We loved their unique cutlery and had fun saying hi to Penelope and her robot friend. We highly recommend the veggie pasta and broccoli cheddar quiche. The truffle fries were awesome but a little too garlicky for my palate. The warm almond bread with caramel sea salt butter was delicious 😋

Seuss landing is one of the many different lands at Universal Orlando Resort. There are lots of different scenes from Dr Seuss movies. It's a very cute Land. Hopefully when we go back using our annual passes they're will be more rides open. It was very cold the day went. Overall it was a very fun filled exciting experience. I absolutely loved the place

I was here once in 2002. I rode the The cat in the hat ride. It was amazing. I will return in the future, no doubt. Child hood memories, of reading Dr. Seuss books.

This land is full of Dr. Seuss stories including The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish and the Lorax. It's filled with nostalgia for adults and bright fun stories for kids. Character encounters for great pictures as well. There's also a carousel. There's a restaurant, Green eggs and Ham that serves green eggs and ham over tater tots. I highly suggest a walk through.

Perfect for kids and adult alike! If you like easy going rides and riding with your kids this ones for you. Let Your Seuss-Imagination run wild! Souvenir and gift shops. Places to buy sweet treats and fun places to eat. Perfect way to end your day at the Universal Islands of Adventure!

As an adult, it's probably the best place to visit here ever. It's fun because it's NOT as crowded as the other attractions. We were able to stay here and read the poems and ride the sky train. Brought back childhood memories to us all. It's an oldie but goodie.

This place brings you back to a kid right into the book super detailed little land supposedly for the kids but me and my wife absolutely loved it we went through it twice she even got a mug a thing mug cuz she is that thing one and two

Excellent area for families to enjoy. Rides, food, souvenirs and especially the candy selection is superb.

Such a whimsical place! I thoroughly enjoyed the colors, designs, trolley ride, and characters. Everything was spotless. If/when I go back, I want to spend some more time here.

A delightful, magical area for the small visitors, a colorful and crazy Dr. Seuss wonderland. Our family enjoyed the Trolley train ride the most, it provides a great view of the park from 15 feet above as well as restful respite for tired little feet.

So much fun here. Totally brought out the kid in me. I loved the different areas dedicated to different books my favorite has always been the Lorax, I was so happy to see the Onclers house and Tufla trees. Green Eggs and Ham snack stand, and so many more. I only rode one ride, The Cat in the Hat. It was very fun, it’s like you were in the book.

As you enter Islands of Adventure and Seuss Landing... prepare to be swept away into the Cat in the Hat Lorax Red Fish Blue Fish Seuss fantasy land! It really does feel like an entirely different world In Seuss Landing, even from the other parts of the park. They really did so well in creating this section. I can’t even imagine how it feels for a kiddo here, because as a young adult it fills me with an indescribable joy. All the colors and little quotes from the books spread out across the park, it all is just so whimsical and fun. There are a couple rides here that are very kiddy but can still be fun: Cat in the Hat, Seuss Train, the Seuss Carousel and I might be missing on other. The good thing too is those rides usually have a very short wait. This is just such a fun little section of park! It’s also a faster shortcut when you’re trying to go between the entrance and HP world!

What a fun and delicious dining experience. We were seated in the brewing room. We tried a few of their beer and it wasn’t that great but the service and food was great. We ordered pretty much everything on the menu and everything was delicious. The old fashion was good too. If you’re visiting Orlando definitely find time to stop here.

Loved this place. So unique in decor and the menu items. Fantastic service. I would definitely be back. The truffle fries were very heavy with the bbq brisket, so I’m glad I got the refreshing side salad. My friend couldn’t finish the fries. Definitely get the eggs with the runny yolk. Make sure you make reservations.

For an appetizer we had fried pork belly with watermelon, cornbread pudding, hot honey, and cornbread crumbs. The pork belly was cooked to crunchy perfection, the watermelon added a sweet level of complexity, that was to be appreciated. Their bread service was amazing, it was basically an entire loaf of cheesy garlic bread we couldn't stop eating. For the main course I had the mahi sandwich with pickled slaw, roasted tomatoes, and dill tartar sauce. I also had a bacon old-fashioned. The mahi he was delicious, but I felt that the dill tartar sauce was a little on the salty side. The inside seating was warm and ambient, our server Robert was very welcoming and knowledgeable. This place does not leave a lot to want.

9/16/2022 We had a lovely meal with friends. It isn't cheap. Even with magical dining it was $200 for two people but you get what you pay for I suppose. Sometimes the simple things are the best, everyone was wild about the bread. My favorite item was the crab bisque. The steak frites was fine but for the price there are better steaks. Overall it was a fun night and we enjoyed the evening.

Me and my husband visited for our anniversary. Jason was our server and he did such an amazing job of making the night special for us. The food was absolutely incredible, every single dish was an explosion of flavors! We will definitely be back.

Just had great food at Ravenous Pig, where they served up a fantastic spread of New American cuisine. French toast: mix of sweet peaches, creamy goodness, and crunchy macadamia nuts. Biscuits and gravy: hit the Southern food craving right on the money! I’m thinking of adding andouille to my leftovers for an extra kick. Pork schnitzel: crunchy breading and tangy fried capers made the sauce a delicious balance Everything came out hot and fresh. Overall, one of my fav brunch experiences!

We came to The Ravenous Pig with a large group to celebrate my birthday. We ordered an assortment of items from the dinner menu and everything was quite delicious. There was definitely an upscale aspect to it but, the servings were adequate. We also tried cocktails and beers and we really enjoyed them. Overall, the service was very good. From the moment we called to make the reservation, the staff was friendly and accommodating us. They even printed my name on our menus, making the occasion a little extra special.

I had an amazing meal here. Upon arriving, I loved the ambiance, of the main dining room, it’s modern/ industrial with a stylish decor that feels warm and welcoming. We were led to the bar area which feels like a luxurious gastro pub. The menu is creative and enticing, with so many provocative options I had a tough time deciding what to try. My friend and I decided on several option to share with the recommendations of the server who was enthusiastic to help us. He was great. We opted on their trumpet mushroom dusted scallops and the lamb lasagna. I highly recommend these dishes, they were both prepared to perfection. We also ordered a side of roasted cauliflower which was extremely tasted, but a bit undercooked for my taste and the cheese grits that were just so good!!!! I need to go back and try other items because that entire menu needs to be experienced.

The food and drinks were amazing! We had brunch and it was an explosion of flavors in your mouth. Definitely one of our fav places now.

My friends and I were celebrating my boyfriend’s 21st birthday and we had a phenomenal time. The cocktails here are amazing as well as the food. They brought out a free dessert as well for the occasion which was very good. I absolutely love that this restaurant sources all of its product locally as well as brews their own beer. The menu changes seasonally. Sustainability is some thing I think is very important in a business. Alex was an amazing server. Extremely attentive and very helpful in helping us understand certain menu items and trying new things! Will definitely be recommending this restaurant and will be coming again next season!

How have I never reviewed this place? I live in Tampa and I’ve been there times now. If we come to Orlando it’s a must. We’ve done osyters, dinner and a lunch now and it’s always been fantastic. On our most recent trip I got a pork dip sandwich and my husband got the burger and they were both so insanely good. They’re super accommodating with subs too. I wanted a salad instead of fries and no cheese on my sandwich which wasn’t an issue at all. Make the trip to Ravenous Pig- it will be worth it!!!

Went to the Ravenous Pig for brunch after it was rated by Michelin. It didn’t disappoint and the food was excellent. We’ve also been to their beer garden next door which is also great. Highly recommend.

Went here for a birthday on a weeknight. Service was amazing, drinks and food were top notch. Definitely try the grilled oysters and the pork belly bites app. Lamb ravioli was amazing but a little on the small side, perfect if you're not a huge eater or do what we did and order it as a side for the table. All in all a great experience and would definitely come back.

I had a really great experience at the ravenous pig! We ordered the pork belly as an appetizer and it was crispy yet tender! It came in a delicious peanut sauce and was a knockout! For my main entree I ordered the truffle gnocchi, and it was delicious. The truffle flavor wasn't overpowering but still very much there. However, The portion size was quite small compared to the price but our waiter was amazing and listened to our concerns. He said he would bring this up with management and rectified the situation for us. While the food was great, the service is what really stood out to us because everything came out in a timely manner and our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The ambiance of this location is also very nice. The decor is modern and the low lighting is moody, perfect for a date night! The entire location was very clean, especially the bathroom! There is also ample parking provided, which makes this location quite accessible. I can't wait to come back and give the gnocchi another try!

We knew this was a popular place, so we were happy to be seated without a reservation after about 5-10 minutes of waiting during prime dinner time (around 6). They had a standing table for us to wait for our table at, close to the bar where we could order drinks and look at the menu before being seated. We ordered some wine and the yearn to burn tequila drink. The drink didn’t burn in a hot sense, but did have a smoky flavor in the frozen drink. The atmosphere was relaxed and modern, yet warm and inviting. With our order of short ribs and then steak frites, the short ribs were superior in texture. The flavors were well executed and dynamic, however, the meat definitely wasn’t a melt in your mouth experience. The truffle fries were bountiful in flavor, yet again, the texture was lacking. Overall, flavors were exquisite, but the textures could’ve been perfected to better elevate the dishes. Finally, our dessert had great texture and flavor for the “pig tails” with a balancing chocolate espresso sauce.

During my visit to town, I had the pleasure of dining with family at their favorite local restaurant, and it truly exceeded expectations. The service, from our arrival throughout the entire meal, was nothing short of fantastic. The staff and management exhibited genuine hospitality that added to the overall wonderful experience. While some specials were limited due to high demand, I seized the opportunity to indulge in the dry-aged NY STRIP, and it was truly amazing. The flavors were exquisite, and the preparation was nothing short of perfection. The carefully curated selection of wines perfectly complemented our meal, and the diverse bourbon offerings provided a delightful choice for a cocktail or two to cap off our evening. The ambiance, service, and culinary delights left me thoroughly satisfied. Without hesitation, I give this establishment two enthusiastic thumbs up, a well-deserved 5-star rating, and my highest recommendation. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Fantastic service, food, and ambiance. Seated promptly for 5:00pm reservations in the smaller dining room between the main dining area and the bar. It was really cozy and felt like we had our own private space. Everything we ordered was delicious! Perfect presentation, portions, temperature, flavor, etc. Sampled a couple of house-brewed beers on tap and decided on a gose, which was also excellent. Service was impeccable and made the experience even better. Highly recommend; we loved everything about it. My husband tends to prefer ordering food at home from a delivery service over eating out, and even he said that this was the best possible restaurant experience you could have. We’ll be back for sure.

Afternoon an afternoon of hiking everyone in my group was very hungry. We all agreed on BBQ and arrived at exactly 3:00pm and the host informed us brunch had just finished. We agreed to proceed to back area known as the beer garden. The food menu is very limited which was disappointing to our very hungry group but the food itself was outstanding. Most of our group ordered the smash burger and it was very delicious and juicy. The French fries were well seasoned and cooked. I personally did not have a craft beer but everyone said they were all good. Disappointing to limit lunch menu so early but judging by the quality and flavor of the burgers, we will definitely be back to sample the rest when we are back in town. Outdoor atmosphere is great and relaxing.

I went to The Ravenous Pig for my second time this past Saturday to celebrate my Birthday. I was once again blown away by the staff, atmosphere, and food. The attention to detail is made evident from the plating, quality of food and drinks, quick and friendly service and I even had “Happy Birthday” printed on the menus we were given! I would recommend this place to anyone. I have had both their dinner and brunch now and continue to be impressed. Definitely a place to check out for a fantastic meal with friends/family or a special occasion!

This place is exceptional. Their brewery alone is worth a 5 star rating due to its quality, but then you add in a kitchen who serves up some of the most delicious and innovated dishes I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend enough that you try this place.

The server was perfect when he was there. Not as attentive as he could have been. Giving him 4 stars because there is room for improvement. But the service we did get was good. No dairy free menu, but the kitchen was good enough to figure it out!! Ordered the steak and fries. These I’d fight you for. The steak was already cut (not a fan of - but that’s me) and I had a 1/2 inch of gristle on mine so I felt shorted. The fries were AMAZING. He ordered the short ribs and he liked the mushrooms (outstanding). The meat was soft tender and flavorful. We both feel like we had a good meal but aren’t stuffed. So it’s great!

Good drink options, good food, we had to reserve a table many many weeks in advance( about one and a half months in advance in the Summer) just to be able to dine-in here. The calamari is SUPERB, the salads are great, and the The wine and cocktail options are great and truly worth it all. We sat at one of the High-tops near the bar. We requested to sit at a booth since we had booked a reservation well in advance, to no avail. They said it wasn’t possible. Alas, we had a good time and our server was super nice and helpful.

I had the Squid Ink Mafaldine. I liked the soft texture of the pasta combined with the sauce, but it didn't have much flavor, in my opinion. My guest had the Potato Gnocchi, and I could really taste the truffle and cheesy goodness, (although it was a bit salty). I know how much a review can weigh a restaurant down, and being that I don't LOVE Italian food to begin with, I'm giving it a 4/5. Our server Max was great!

Prato is my favorite restaurant in Orlando. I bring everyone here. The days when I could stroll up and get a table are long gone but I am happy to see this business thrive, especially in these times. Make a reservation ahead of time and enjoy yourself. You won't regret it.

Excellent Italian eatery! We got there too early 1115 am, host guy was nice said return at 1130 no sooner. When we finally returned it was worth it. Parties 5+ call for reservations, place gets busy. I saw reviews about service was good and indeed Gang did exceed my expectations. Gang top notch remembered our order, repeated it correctly, filled our glasses when it was empty, check on us during meal, knew menu inside out. All food was good like their meatballs, pizza, & even their burger. I went to their sister location Lukes and server their was ok, she did nothing compared to Prato. Service was way better at Prato. Bravo!

The food here was of the highest quality and taste. I never thought raviolis could be fancy but here they are. I rated 2 star for the atmosphere because of the whitewash music. With such high quality authentic Italian food would've been perfect with Italian classical soprano music and classical music, Just my preference in my opinion. The rest of the atmosphere is good tho.

Best Italian in Winter Park. Don’t expect to be able to just drop in here. Get a reservation or be prepared to wait a long time or you might get lucky by snagging a seat at the bar. The food is amazing here. If you come midday between lunch & dinner on the weekend there’s only a pizza menu. This is also my favorite pizza place in Winter Park.

The food was terrible. Meatballs were extremely salty, and I like salty foods, but this was too much for me and my family. We also had the pesto broccoli almond tortellini, and I returned the dish because the taste was off. The gnocchi was ok, but I didn't like the texture since I liked traditional gnocchi, and these were like plain also the truffle flavor was very pronounced that overpowered the rest of the flavors. The waiter was excellent he was apologetic and offering other dishes. I was like, no, thank you." On the other hand, my boyfriend had the branzino, and he said it was good but had better. Now, let me start with the pizza, which I did not eat because, since I was looking the whole time I was there, the Employees that were cooking the pizza since I was sitting right across them. Please please have them sanitize their hands, these employees touches everything without gloves and without washing their hands while touching all cooking instruments, faces, mouth, blowing their noses, picking stuff from the floor and never once washed their hands. They literally have a sink next to them that they didn't use the whole time I was observing, and I was there for 2hrs. These people handling pizza seasonings toppings with the same bare hands they touched everything with no gloves nor hand wash, It was disgusting.

Trendy Italian/Pizza joint on fashionable Park Avenue in Winter Park. Able to sneak into the bar on Sunday afternoon during the WP Art Festival, which was great as usual. Very friendly and well staffed. Sidewalk seating across from the Park. Inside nice with large bar. In thd back you're right in the middle of the pizza oven and the kitchen and its a nice vibe. The place is pretty and well appointed. We just had a pepperoni pizza and a great Bloody Mary. The pizza was excellent. The guy next to me had spagatoni(?) and it smelled great. He critiqued the wines and was happy with the selection. Dog friendly with outdoor seating and I can imagine how busy this place could get. Worth the wait though.

Great Italian themed food in a high energy atmosphere. Service was prompt, but like most of the restaurants along Park Ave., expect a wait before being seated. Diavolo pizza has just the right amount of heat with amazing taste. Pizza is about $17, and is enough for two. Mixed drinks around $8-$10.

It was my first time cisiting Orlando. It was perfect choice visiting here. I sat outside because weather was nice. Soup and diavolo pizza was superb.

Had an amazing dinner for me and my now fiancees' anniversary. Drinks and food were amazing. The service was amazing it was a great evening.

This place customer service is not the best at all! I had to wait 5 minutes after asking 4 times for the host to get someone to wipe my seat, because it was food on it from the previous guest. Also the best thing on the menu was the margarita pizza. I will not be returning. I sat near the kitchen area and the guy sprinkling salt and pepper on the food kept touching his face and his hair. He Did not have gloves on while sprinkling condiments on the food. 🤮🤮 I do not understand how this place has the amount of stars that they do! The mustard pasta that is so called the best thing on the menu was not flavorful at all! I also got without pork because do people really still eat pork in 2023? Also the potato gnocchi was good but for $17 the portion was something a 7 year old would only get full off of. And the calamari was too salty and greasy!

Local winner park restaurant with eclectic menu. I had the chicken milanaise, which was very unusual but delicious. The calamari was very good and cant tell its pretzel crusted. several people in my party had the Pasta again unusual choices but fresh made while you wait. the service was exselect. It's just a little bit tight in the restaurant. But definitely can't wait to return.

Ate at the bar and had great service. I took the bartender’s recommendation and ordered the meatballs with zero regrets. If it’s one thing, you do here, order these meatballs. You will want bread just to sop up the sauce. I completed my meal with the veal. Word of caution here, their style makes a softer veal cutlet than you’re probably used to. But it was flavorful, unique, and the real star of the show was the succotash side—I could have a bowl of that stuff.

Def make a reservation if you can; This place is so delicious, therefore is always busy. Every item is authentic, delicious and unique. You honestly can’t go wrong. I had the squid pasta and it was dreamy good. The pizza, salad, all of it is worth trying once if you can. My sister swears by the potato gnocchi and orders it almost every time. If you’re on park, definitely don’t second guess yourself and give this place a try. Service is great as well, very attentive and kind staff. The atmosphere is kind of dark but in a good, relaxing way. It creates an escape from the hustle of park avenue( if you dine inside). Perfect for family visiting from out of town, friends alike, even for a date. It’s a very clean restaurant that I’ve always had amazing experiences at with loved ones and friends alike.

Lunch and dinner are different. In Winter Park, if there's no reservation on Resy, you can walk in without waiting. You can also call ahead to inquire. This place seems quite popular and decent. If you're looking to carb up, it's worth a visit. The bruschetta is amazing! Is it ricotta? Soft cheese with jam is delicious, and they even added candied pistachios. So fragrant. The ingredients might change depending on the season.

Prato is by far one of my most favorite restaurants. Everything on the menu is amazing! Definitely check out their pizzas and pasta. The Gnocchi is so good! Also their Italian Citrus is by far my favorite drink. I look forward to going back every time and it never disappoints.

excellent food, drinks, and service at this very popular place... it's spacious but fills up fast so be sure to make a reservation...pizzas are delicious and big enough for two, and the pork brasato is fantastic!...service is fast and professional... recommended

Amazing experience! The server Alyssa was amazing, all the recommendations was insanely good! We got the Aranccini, the Daviola pizza and Caccio e Pepe as a Pasta. We’re looking forward the next menu. Tks!

It pains me greatly to say this, but the Black Diamond pizza at Prato was a pretty big miss for me. The menu succinctly describes it as follows: "truffle fonduta, Parmigiano Reggiano, fresh black truffle." In my mind, I envisioned the "truffle fonduta" to be a rich, creamy, melty experience, with some additional meltiness and depth of flavor from the Parmigiano, and then loaded with shaved whole slices of truffle. What I received was essentially a dry white pizza with no creaminess, no meltiness, and a pile of not-very-aesthetically-pleasing black truffle gratings. I'm not sure what the "truffle fonduta" was even supposed to be, but I saw no evidence that it even existed on my pie. The pizza certainly did smell and taste of truffle, I'm not refuting that, but for $50, I considered it a letdown in virtually every conceivable way. I still like Prato and have had a few pleasant experiences here over the years (which is why I'm still giving them a 3 star review and not a lower one), but they should go back to the drawing board with this one. For it being the most expensive pizza I've ever eaten, I expected it to be luxurious in both presentation and flavor, and it was neither.

My husband and I came here for our anniversary while in town & were not super impressed. The food was very tasty but in our opinion it is overpriced. We enjoyed our meal but were disappointed by the service. The waiter dropped my cocktail and it partially spilled on me. I was very chill about it and laughed it off but thought for the trouble they may take it off the bill. I’m not the type of person to make a fuss and ask for that though. They also forgot about my only side and by the time I was able to ask for it again it ended up coming out after we had finished our meal. My husband and I were disappointed they didn’t take off that side and my cocktail for the trouble. All in all nothing to write home about.

Definitely worth a visit!! The food was so delicious not your regular Mexican restaurant. Our server Chris was the best! Great recommendations.

I would give Reyes’ atmosphere a 10 if I could! Seriously one of the most beautiful places to eat, especially downtown. Everything I have ever ordered here has been unique and delicious. For instance, I ordered fish tacos and received a large fried fish fillet, along with other taco toppings on my plate and the tortillas on the side. I’ve never had fish tacos presented in this way but I really enjoyed it! I’ve brought multiple friends and family to Reyes, and every time they are so happy with the over all experience!

I love Reyes! This is a good spot at anytime of day. We went for the weekend brunch this time and the food was delicious. Their margaritas are also very good! Very balanced, but also strong and refreshing. We ordered the ceviche and it was so delicious! The flavors all blended together perfectly and it was very refreshing with the lime and avocado. We also ordered a couple fish and chicken tacos with a tamale. Everything was delicious! They have a really good happy hour too! I’ll just have to come back and try the churros.

Loved the food and the ambiance. Prompt service and surprisingly large portions. Food came quickly and service was friendly. The environment inside was modern, clean and hip. Nice bar and "waiting/ drink area". Parking on street or in parking garage. The chile relleno was our favorite, although it was all good. We will be back!

Chris is the absolute best!!! He surpassed my expectations! He is exceptional!!! Hands down the best server and service I’ve ever had in my LIFE!!! You should give Chris a raise because he deserves it for how incredible he is!

LOVE this place. The octopus was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The bar tenders were working very hard throughout and our drinks came out great. Beautiful interior and experience. Will be back! (Pictured is the ahi tuna) couldn’t take a pic of the octopus because it was gone so fast!

I give it four stars because of the atmosphere and service. The food was good. My favorite was the chips and salsa surprisingly. We ordered the fish tacos. They did not taste too fresh, so we ordered the chicken and that was good. I had the Al pastor tacos I thought the meat would be shredded, but it is not, but it still was good but I would not get it again. The presentation of the food was a big hit for us as well. We will be back but order different items just to give it another try. I still recommend to go and check it out.

Wendy and the staff do an amazing job of taking are of each guest as if they were family. When I came in with the Deacon boys for our yearly dinner, it felt like I was arriving at my grandmother's house for dinner. The food was amazing! A tequila old fashion??? I dare you to try it! The attention to detail with EVERYTHING, was off the charts. I am a very critical reviewer and dare I say, this was the best meal yet. Keep on keeping on!

Love this place! Eclectic interior with such a great vibe. Wonderful selection of tequilas and the food was off the charts delicious. Highly recommend their happy hour

Can't wait to come back here to try more items. Met some friends for happy hour and only snacked on the few things, but it was all excellent. The guacamole and salsa were fantastic and the homemade chips were not greasy or too salted. We found the picked potatoes that come with the wings a little funny as they looked like deformed Vienna sausages, but tasted fine.

This restaurant exceeded my expectations. Service was quick and prompt. Food brought quick, and was fresh, hot, and seasoned perfectly. There is something for everyone on the menu. Even though I’m not vegan, there were a lot of options to f you are searching for that. Will return!

Best meal I've had in years. Treated like a celebrity. Really fresh fish with large portions. There is not a seafood restaurant which comes close to this quality. Everything made from scratch and fresh. Waiter knows the dishes and what is best. This is service like it used to be. Chef Lopez is a legend. Free Parking is right there. So convenient.

The ambiance of Reyes Mezcaleria is just spot on. All the indoor plants hanging about made me feel like I stepped into abuelas house. Service was great but the food........... No complaints. Each dish tasted just as good as they looked. I had some of the best grilled octopus I have ever had. Perfectly tender and flavorful. The olives and capers add the perfect amount of bitter acidity. The fresh catch veracruz was perfectly seared and the skin was Ritz cracker crispy. And the desert........ I'm not one for desert. Perfect desert for me is another hamburger. But the flan thres leche was just so good. Overall great experience. I recommend you check this place out when in Orlando. Make sure to order some drinks. Mezcal just has a beautiful smokiness that's just addicting. Compliments to the chef.

I went for brunch recently and it was really delicious. The staff was very attentive and answered all questions we had about the menu. Food arrived at a nice warm temperature and flavor was on point. The salsa and chips is a must try because the red sals has a great kick. The French toasts was a delicious and creamy experience. Also how can you leave without churros. The Reyes mushroom hash was perfect for any vegetarian.

Loved the experience! A little bit pricey but their cocktails are super amazing! More on the stronger side so be careful if you’re a lightweight. I found everything well made, fresh and flavorful. Delightful combination of flavors and textures. The chicken on our parrillada came a little cold but both shrimps and meat were 10/10

Just an all around amazing experience! Came here with a couple of friends (who had dined here before), and from the moment I walked in, I could tell that this was going to be totally different kind of experience. The decor in the restaurant is amazing, you immediately feel the energy. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was absolutely phenomenal! He gave us his honest opinion about what dishes, appetizers, drinks we might enjoy best based on what we told him. The food was absolutely delicious! You definitely get the Mexican undertones of the food, but it’s also a very different, very original take on Mexican cuisine! I was completely blown away and I’m so glad I got to have this experience while I was here, and I will definitely be back!!

This fairly priced location offers great food and soothing atmosphere. The food quality is good and the dishes are dynamic in flavors and texture. The waiting staff is attentive but still loose enough to joke around. The red snapper tacos were the best dish by far and I'd highly recommend it. Drinks were strong and well made at a price point comparable to elsewhere. Overall, I would come back. Hopefully the menu expands a little or switched up every few months otherwise this place would get old after a few visits.

Not your average Mexican dining. The food and drinks are 10 out of 10. Jason timed out our meal perfectly. We got in during happy hour…had the Margarita and Ranch water, both were perfectly crafted. Off of the appetizers we had Mac, wings and tamal…No complaints here! Lastly we had the snapper tacos and Brussel sprouts. I can say the authenticity in flavor is definitely there and if you want to spice it up, ask for the hot sauce!

Totally worth hitting up if you enjoy Mezcal. They also have a full bar with plenty of other spirits to make any other non agave based drink you’d like. Delicious and smoky Mezcal Old Fashioned. A hint of rye was used to make an incredible cocktail. Highly recommended for their bar. We arrived late and didn’t eat anything, but the food menu looks great.

Excellent restaurant. Charming decor, great food, and a wide selection of mezcals. The fish tacos are highly recommended: not greasy at all, light and crispy, with enough acidity. The mezcal flights can be much cheaper than ordering the drinks individually, a great way to try some high-end mezcal brands.

Fantastic place. Please be prepared for first come first seated, no traditional wait staff where you wait for a table, no reservations. Only issue with this, are those other customers "saving seats" for others in their party that end up not showing or moving to another seating area. Food was great, wish there were more detailed descriptions for menu items, especially if you are new to this cuisine. Highly recommend the brussel sprouts.

The food here is really great!! The cocktails were delicious too. The restaurant is really nice and usually packed. My only complaints is the fact that you sit yourself it took me a long time to find us a table and the food took a long time. Also the food portions are super small kind of like tapas. The lamb pops were perfect though, will come back just for those.

I love the vibes here. The decoration was very beautiful. This was a casual restaurant where you order all of the foods at the bar and they gave us the order number. The price was very reasonable. For the food, I enjoyed lamb chops, pork belly, shrimps, crab fried rice, and croquettes. The chicken meatball was a bit too dry but other chicken dishes were delicious (thigh and oysters).

Amazing quality food. Seems busy and a bit of a wait, but definately worth it. Consistent delivery and quality of food even when it gets really busy, orders move through quickly at the bar and for food. I would describe it like "Japanese Tapas" just an amazing experience.

My first time to one of the Michelin awarded restaurant, this restaurant literally have a long queue after 8pm. Be prepared to wait for a table if you’re planning to eat great food. All the food we tried were amazing and price wise also affordable. Taste is amazing. If you’re in Orlando area and a great foodie this one is a must try!

One of my first times at Tori Tori, I was impressed with the drinks and loved its fun vibes. I decided to visit Tori Tori again when my friend was in town, and it is definitely on our list to go back. My friend and I went on a busy Saturday night. We waited about 5 minutes before the security let us in. The aroma of the grill when you first enter was phenomenal. Our wait for our food and appetizers was not quite long (about 10 to 15 minutes). The waiters had a hard time finding us since we sat outside. The bartenders are also very quick and super patient. The bartender who took my order was patient and explained to me the menu. The drinks were great. It was not too strong or sweet. It had a great balance and went great with the appetizers. Just a warning, after a certain time all guests must be 21 with a valid ID.

This is a MUST visit place when in Orlando! The whole aspect of it is completely different. You will not regret (it might be tough to find seating) BUT at the end it’s worth it. Food is always on 100% and so are the drinks. Food is kinda like small tapas servings, so you’re gonna have to order a lot of them to get a full dinner out of it. There’s servers that only bring out your food, they don’t take order, all the food and drinks have to be ordered at the bar. I would say this place is more of a hang out and drinks type of place, perfect to go with a group of friends for good time! Also, parking is limited, make sure you’re parking at the right places, you don’t want your car towed late at night, like mine did 😓.

Tori Tori is my go to recommendation for high quality cocktails and bites. They atmosphere is great. I have never been disappointed and I think they have something here everyone can enjoy.

Based on the reviews I was reading and the people/ workers I spoke to, my friend and I must have gone at a great time! It wasn’t too busy so we were able to walk in and sit at the bar and we got drinks and some food I ended up getting two drinks ( they even have mocktail options for friends who don’t drink but still want to join) and the Yakitori dinners ( basically a skewer of chicken breast 2x and a curry chicken meatball as well as the chicken skin) and the crab croquette ( 3 comes in an order) I forgot to get a picture of the food and that would’ve definitely complimented the this review as well as the venue it self. A great place for date night with music and friendly bartenders and food runners! As well as friends wanting to catch up or just a place to go by yourself and even chat with new people if your social enough for that. Tan was our bartender and the guy is really cool and knowledgeable. This dinning experience is a little different to the traditional restaurant as it’s a bar style type of dining with the food coming out as it’s prepared. I definitely will be coming back again

10/10, would recommend... a simple, beautiful restaurant with a great vibe and it was clean! Workers were busy and things still came out in a timely fashion. Drinks were decent. Food was AMAZING. The CRAB FRIED RICE cannot be topped. Will be back for that alone.

Go early! Like, right at opening if you want to avoid a wait and crowd! Mushrooms 2.0 were the best! Crab and corn croquettes were BOMB. Wing skewer was just alright. Fried chicken was a huge portion and very good. Gyoza was very good if you're into beef! Cool atmosphere! Bar Seating was amazing service. We will be back!

Tori-Tori shines for happy hours with its great atmosphere and vast drink list. The food is good, but it's more suited for drinks and socializing than dinner. A top pick for a relaxed, enjoyable evening.

Try to go early because it does gets packed quickly and to get parking but when you go in you pick where you sit and fill out the paperwork menu of what you want to eat then give it to the bartender and pay then they will bring you the food to your table! I got the Japanese fried chicken, lamb chops, pork belly, crab fried rice and thought it was all good and the under the sun cocktail was tasty!

Great place to go before a concert or show at Amway or Dr. Phillips. Food comes in small portions but it allows you to try different items & everything is very flavorful. They have great drinks as well. It gets crowded here very quickly so we recommend coming in right when they open because they don't take reservations. Seating is first come first served... just gotta fight for a table or seat at the bar. Parking is somewhat a of a struggle, but we were lucky to find street parking.

The Gold Sake is amazing! Kyla at the bar was awesome! And literally everything I ate was incredible; I forgot to take pictures of it all but I’m really thinking you can’t go wrong.

Decent yakitori, the meat selection has no organs which I would say the menu is not a complete one for a typical yakitori establishment. All items we ordered are pretty decent except the chicken skin (kawa) that's deep-fried rather than charcoal-grilled that I was disappointed. If I knew I would not have ordered. The highballs (Toki and Umeshu) are nice. The moon boots suggested by bartender was good.

This was our first time here, there's usually a line out the door! The restaurant and bar are beautiful. We were seated at the bar immediately and handed menus. Everything we ordered was amazing! The only disappointment was our extremely rude bartender. This being our first experience, we did not know to place your order, you fill out a card. She could have told us that when we sat down, and given us the cup with cards and pencils (located near barware that I wouldn't have known we could touch). Other than that, it was still a wonderful evening and delicious food.

Just try everything !!!! SKIN SALT - was my absolute favorite! I was thrown off by the name and when the waiter came and told me to try it I didn’t even ask questions. I just took her word and ordered it and it was BOMB ! 👏🏽 The food here is absolutely delicious. We ordered crab fried rice, garlic fried rice, skin salt, breast tare, wagyu imperial gyoza, lamb karubi lollipops, Japanese fried chicken with garlic confit mayo (had my mouth watering ), key west pink shrimp cocktail w/ bulldog sauce, shishito peppers, king oyster mushroom, spicy yuzu pepper shrimp, beef chimmichurri, and lastly the crab and corn croquettes. Everything was delicious, hot and fresh. The staff were so swift and efficient I didn’t even realize my used plates being picked up. There was only one dish I had that was kind of bland and that was the king oyster mushroom. I expected some flavor and it was just cooked to perfection. Still good but basic when it came to flavor The music was jumping and the playlist was fireee !!! The bar was super lit and even tho it’s busy and fast placed, you get assistance and the food was delivered to us sooo quick. Hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Orlando.

Worth the 1.5 hour wait! My 11 year old foodie says it's the best ramen he's ever had in his entire life and my tuna bowl was delish! We sat at the bar where you can watch the food be prepped which was fun for him. Can't wait to go back!

First and foremost, I really appreciate our waiter asking us if we had any allergies or dietary restrictions. Trevor was very kind, attentive, and made our first experience at Domu a treat. He was able to accommodate us by making the shishito peppers vegan-friendly. The vegan ramen was decent. From their playlist to the variety of mocktails on their menu, I’d say this place was worth the wait!

Wow! Taste Bud’s blown! An absolutely perfect date night for foodies 🤩 Michelin rating so well-deserved…and earned through all of the hard work of the entire staff. Service was exceptional. Ordered DOMU Wings as appetizer and Richie Rich for the entree paired with a Australian Cabernet by “Bulletin Place”. If you go on Saturday for dinner, get in line at 4:30pm; doors open at 5pm. Enjoy! 😎✌🏼

Loved this place! My family and I went on Sunday during their brunch hours so there was a limited menu, but still lots to choose from. We got there right when it opened so there was no wait, but there was a long line already 10 minutes in! Our server was great, food was delicious, and we left feeling satisfied. I also loved how clean and open this area is. I will definitely be returning soon!

Been here multiple times and never regretted it. Wait times can be very long most of the time. This last time I went with friends it was a 2 hrs of waiting. So definitely not a place for a quick bite. I wouldn't say its the best ramen place. Definitely try their chicken wings they are worth it! 😁

I went for their “all day happy hour” Tuesdays menu. As always, their service was immaculate, they always explain the food & drink menu and offer suggestions depending on my mood. - I had their famous wings, 1|st time trying their Cheezus and OMG !! (Order extra bread with this) and their classic Ramen. As always, so delish

My husband and I frequent Domu on the regular. They never ever miss. The food, service, and atmosphere are exceptional every time. Their ramen could cure anything. The Kimchi wings and Richie Rich Ramen are our go-to’s.

Wanted to try a Michelin star restaurant, and it was well worth the hype. Had both styles of wings and loved the kimchi wings the most but both were delicious. The bathrooms were clean. The staff was attentive. Had a great experience would recommend!

Always a great experience. The ramen and wings never disappoint. The regular wings are consistently good. The seasonal featured wings offer something new. There is nearly always a wait although bar is full service and first come first served.

My friend recommended this place to me. This is my daughter's kind of places and so i waited until i could take her to experience DOMU. AS expected..there was about a 30 min wait so u know. The wings are a most appetizer. They are sweet and have great flavor. The most popular Ramen from what i read was curry(mild/ hot)and i choose that. It was soo good i could have taken some home but finished it. Great atmosphere and food. Plus there is a favorite cookie and donut spot in the same building.

This came up often as a must try in Orlando, so my husband and I decided to check it out. The wait time for dinner was crazy long so we left and came back the next day for lunch. There was no wait for lunch. We shared: - DOMU Wings - Curry Ramen - Uni Mazemen The wings are a must order and were my favorite thing we got. The sauce was very unique and I loved it. I also really enjoyed the Uni Mazemen. The ramen was good, but it was my least favorite thing we got.

Went for my birthday, the food was just as good as I had heard it was. We arrived slightly before they opened and we were sat within the first few minutes, even with multiple parties in line ahead of us. Meadow was our server and she was super sweet when she played along as my dinner partner pretended to order a "surprise" birthday dessert. We tried many of the menu items, best being the "pigs in a blanket" bun, 10/10!

The food and drinks are amazing! The wait is ridiculous, though. I don’t remember if we had a reservation or if we were just able to miraculously get in, but we had some drinks at the bar before being seated. There were some games for us to keep us entertained while we waited for our table. I asked myself, “how good can ramen be?” and I found out that it could really be amazing! I had the one with Uni. Best thing I ate all year. I highly recommended arriving early and getting on the wait list in advance! It is worth it!

Domu is simply great. It's popular so that there's a line out the door before 5pm, and for a reason. The ramen is exceptionally good, and their happy hour specials are great. I would recommend the Curry ramen. There's also a pleasant backyard and a few other shops in the same plaza. Lineage coffee is highly recommended as well.

Tried the wings after hearing about how amazing they are and ordered the seasonal yuzu and the original kimchi butter. The original kimchi butter was better in my opinion and the flavor was tasty but I think it would be even better if there was spice added. I thought it was mediocre. The seasonal yuzu and pepper was just ok, it was mainly citrus with a slight pepper taste but very mild. Both wings were very very mild. I wouldn’t say these were the best wings in town but it’s a nice snack…It doesn’t make me want to go back and go out of my way to get them though…it was more like “meh, I tried it” no mind was blown…..

BEST WINGS EVER!! I don't even like wings as much as my husband does but My God these were exactly what wings should be - crispy to perfection, sweet with a touch of heat!🤌 I don't even have a pic of the wings because we devoured them so fast. The Ramen did not disappoint either. I had the Tokyo and he got the Richie Rich, both were so filling and flavorful. Our only gripe is that after waiting an hour we were seated outside, which we did say first available, but totally killed the atmosphere. Oh and they have a Happy Hour menu from 5-6:30pm! 🙌

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Domu. Probably the most notorious restaurant in Orlando. After enjoying it here for the past eight years. I am a fool. Oh well, Domu obviously doesn't need my help with my one review. Over a thousand people have passed through and have been completely satisfied, so I'll make this one quick. I have a statute of limitations on myself on how frequently I can go to a restaurant again. It helps me explore new places and not become a homebody at any one place. But I also look for loopholes. Domu's Vegan Ramen recently won an award for being the Best Vegan dish at a Non-Vegan Restaurant, and I thought to myself, I haven't had that product, I must have that product, and boom, back to Domu I came. I got here about 15 minutes before it opened, and I was still like 20th in line. The doors opened, we got shuffled in, and I got seated at the bar facing the kitchen, love it. The kitchen people bust their butts day in and day out for Joe blows like me, so I Bought the Kitchen a Round of Beers, and I think I probably do that at every restaurant that lets me. We started off with wings, duh, and they were perfect again. Large, juicy, crispy AF. Can't ask for anything more. Then I got my Vegan Ramen (Tomato + Shiitake Broth, Menma, Scallions, Kikurage, Torched Tomato, Fried Tofu, Japanese Spices, Lime Zest). It was solid. On my taste buds, it was missing that pork broth, but for those whom this product was designed for, I can see them being completely satisfied with this offering. Domu does it again. I also got to try the Umi Mazemen (Uni Butter Cream Sauce, Ikura, Microgreens, Crispy Quinoa, Chives, Fresh Uni). This dish is always banging. The unctuousness of this dish is incredible. Umami on umami, with that crispy quinoa, just a lovely dish. Will probably get this every time, honestly. Overall, just lovely. Will be back many times over the course of the rest of my life.

My husband and I were in Orlando for a short weekend getaway and decided to try Domu. We LOVE ramen and seek it out in any city we are in and have visited Japan a few times. After seeing Domu on Somebody Feed Phil and reading the reviews we had to try it. We arrived 30 minutes prior to opening and there was already a line - we lucked out and got a parking spot. We got in a couple minutes after opening and ordered the original wings, the Richie Rich and tskumen. It is LOUD in the restaurant and bustling - well decorated and comfortable. The wings came quickly and were as incredible as reviewed. Cooked to absolute perfection and the sauce was delicious. The entrees took around 25 minutes. Beautiful presentation. The ramen broth was good and flavorful. My husband said the tskumen was OK, but not what he expects from the dipping broth. The noodles are made in house, which is great however, it means they are soft and more creamy than I like. The creaminess of the broth and the soft/sticky nature of the ramen was not my preference. It made me think the noodles were over cooked at first bite. The pork was incredible as was the egg. All in all, when we are back in Orlando we will likely skip Domu. I would go for the wings - but the bowls are just not our preferred noodle type and didn't find it worth the wait.

Had an incredible meal here - ordered the wings, chashu don (WOW), and wagyu sichuan mazemen. 10/10 SO good. Flavorful, well-executed, perfect textures. Don’t miss this place!! We got in line 15 past opening and got seated an hour later. Got to walk around East End a bit so made the wait super easy. Possibly the best meal I’ve had in the US period - at par with actual Asian establishments in Asia 😆

We were passing through and had to try! Who knew we had a Michelin Star Ramen Bar in Florida? Not I, but it was amazing. I'm really more of a Pho girl, but wow! We got the classic Richi Rich. Very rich and delicious broth, amazing homemade noodles, beautiful toppings, and flavorful egg. Ordered extra broth of course. The DOMU wings are a must try. Extra crispy and amazing flavor! I can wait to go back and try more things. Staff was super kind and professional. Beware! Wait-times may be long. If you can, wait at the door 20 minutes before opening. Aftet that, wait times are only long because everyone who was waiting all got sat and served at the same time, so you'd have to wait until they're done. A great and delicious experience!

I have to say this is my favorite place to eat when we visit Orlando. The 1 place I don’t need to add any seasoning because everything is perfect! I highly recommend the wings and the cheezus with pepperonis to start. For ramen my girl loves the Richie Rich and I love the curry medium spicy(we add 2 eggs)WOW! We drive up from West Palm beach for this place and last night we had Dillon who was awesome! I can’t wait to go back ASAP

I took my husband here for his birthday tonight and Wow!! It exceeded both our expectations and we were already so hype to go! They opened at 5pm (and I wish we had gotten there around 430 because there was already a line to get in) but after dining there I totally understand why! the Tokyo Ramen, Domu daquiri, and chicken wings were all absolutely delicious, it was easily the best ramen we've had in Florida. The only thing I didn't love was the lack of a reservation system, and the chairs weren't very comfy, but honestly the food was so amazing and the servers so nice and knowledgeable that we forgot about the seats. Maybe leave your kids at home for this place, its an excellent date night spot and the prices were VERY fair for the quality of the meals ^_^

10/10 ramen, great experience, and REALLY great food. I can’t recommend this place enough! The line to get in was long and they don’t accept reservations. As others have said get in line 20 minutes before they open or get in line at 8:00 or so for the shortest wait times. They say they risk running out of certain ramen broths but I didn’t see it happen. Worth the wait though, really good experience and I’d go back any chance I can get.

Got to go from Kadence a few times was wonderful. The fish is phenomenal and the rice is very well done. Been meaning to find a time to try the omakase. Can’t wait! By far my favorite sushi place in Orlando. Recently received a well deserved Michelin star as well.

This restaurant did not disappoint. It is a memorable dining experience with the best fish selections, sushi preparation and team. I have been to this kind of restaurant in NYC and Boston, but Kadence far surpassed my previous “big city” omakassi experiences. We are so lucky to have this kind of sushi in Central Florida and they deserve all of the great awards that they have!

I have no words to explain how incredible and amazing this restaurant was. I’m literally speechless and I cannot wait to go back! Every single plate we tried was delicious. I highly recommend this place!

Wonderful Omakase experience. A ton of personality from the chef and his cuisine. Highly recommend if you can afford this pricey dinner spot in Orlando, FL. Sake pairing are a must.

As always so awesome to go here, Mark and Jennifer were awesome, I didnt catch the rest of the team but this place is great for any occasion including just to have some sushi what a delight and always a great time, food and serivce.

The food here was good. The sake was good and the server explained it well. However, for the price point, I want: great service with explanations of what the food is (we had to ask what every single course was); professional service (not a chef who is drinking alcohol during our whole experience & a server who looked as if he just rolled out of bed); not hear foul language & course discussions. This is not a restaurant worthy of a Michelin star. We have enjoyed several other Michelin star restaurants and this leaves a lot to be desired. It is a good sushi restaurant. We were all extremely disappointed and uncomfortable.

Very cool place and laid back! Food was outstanding!!!! Great sake selection. This is a must for those of us who enjoy omakase!!!!

Oh wow. What an AMAZING dining experience, I cannot wait to go back. By far, the best meal of my life! @kadenceorlando is a private dining experience, where there are only 9 guests dining at a time. It's a 2:30hr experience, while the chefs are prepping and cooking directly in front of you while sharing stories and teaching you about each meal they prepare. The fish was fresh, the ambiance pleasant, clean, lux, and all about the food. I loved the plain walls and the crisp bar tables. There is so much more I can say about this place, but it wouldn't be enough, you have to experience it yourself. .

Perfect little place. This is a top notch experience. Great sake, great sushi and awesome atmosphere. The small group setting adds so much to the experience. It's not like your normal, push people through and expedite orders. It's get to meet the people next to you and share an experience together. You come in as several small groups and leave as friends kind of setting.

Enjoyed the lunch offering with an amazing selection of fish prepared by Mark and company. Easy to see why Kadence was awarded a Michelin star. Marks personality and conversation added to the omakawesome food experience! Go Gators!

Wow, what an amazing lunch. When I really like to treat myself this is what I get. The cuts of fish and uni melted in my mouth. Parking and pick up was very simple and fast. The service was great and they were kind and friendly. This is the kind of meal you like to take your time with to savor every moment. If you haven’t tried Kadence you’re missing out!

Kadence is a dinning experience like no other! The food is incredible and the service is exceptional. Hands down the best sushi and meal experience I have ever had! You park in front of the unmarked black building and walk into a small bar area where you can enjoy some sake before your dinner experience. Next you move into the dining room which seats 8 guests. This is where you will enjoy the multi-course chef selected menu with the highest quality seafood. Each course is beautifully plated. You can ask the chef questions as he prepares each sashimi and explains the fish selection. Your mouth will explode with delight! We were also gifted a take home bag with breakfast for the morning! They were able to accommodate a salmon allergy for someone in our part. We communicated the allergy in advance via email. Reservations are required and they book well in advance, so plan ahead. You won't regret it!

If you’re looking to splurge on a high end dining experience, look no further. It took me about 2 months to be able to catch a dinner reservation but it was worth the wait! Mark, Jen and their team are so inviting and personable. The interior was sleek and modern. Food was amazing as were the drinks. Highly recommend trying their matcha or hojicha lattes if you want a break from the Alcoholic beverages. I loved how mark (the chef) makes conversations with everyone present and guides the night along. The 3+ hour dinner will leave you full and they present you with a goodie bag at the end of the night! I will definitely be back again.

Let's just say it's a Japanese restaurant with a Filipino dessert twist. Seems like they offer dessert tasting/bento that's worth trying. Didn't realize this place was already a hidden gem in Orlando.

Excellent place for a nigiri omakase. Excellent quality of fish with an excellent and friendly chef. The sake pairing is great

My husband & I have had this place on our list for years and finally made the effort to making a reservation. Due to its increased demand it is definitely a little harder, but worth it! The experience was a lot of fun, every dish was delicious, and we absolutely loved it. Left full and happy! My husband even got more into sake and had fun picking out from their pretty large selection!

This place is very crafted, and very highly regarded. The restaurant is not exactly decorated outside, with easy to find signage, and is very nondescript. When you approach, it will be all black and is next-door to ABC liquors. When you enter, it’s brightly decorated with Japanese style paintings all over the place, and the staff are quite friendly and attentive. Obviously everyone in Winterpark knows that this is one of the restaurants that got a Michelin star rating. It is for a good reason because they make excellent food. Anytime they offer Onigiri we get it, especially since only onigiri is seemingly very difficult to come by in the Orlando area. Their offerings are unique, and utilize fresh and delicious ingredients. We highly recommend this place.

Our friends love this place so they made us come here. So when you come in make sure you get in the black line to order or they seem to like to yell!!! It’s not a big restaurant so eating here it’s not easy to find a seat!! The music is loud and now I get why the feeling they got to yell. The floor is sticky when you walk through which I hate. It’s definitely a busy place and a lot going on! I’m not sure how you even find a place to stand to wait for a table or food without getting scolded. So you have to stand in the hall by the trash to wait for a table or food. The table we finally got was dirty and sticky. The food I think is organic and cheap for Tacos. We ordered before friends and here we wait and wait and wait and come to find out it was under the counter… hmmm happy no. When they called our name we even waved they acknowledged us but apparently still didn’t think we ordered I guess. At the end good thing we asked what happened to the order. Now to the food! The chicken tacos were good with corn tortilla shell. The tamale was good with tender meat. Overall the food is good but parking not the best It’s dark lots behind it so good luck.

Unique experience! I was worried I'd be getting a tex-mex style burrito bowl, but I was pleasantly surprised by the creativity. My friends got tacos, and I had the Pozolo bowl (minus the queso) - delicious! They serve it in a bowl full of broth and with a few chips. I got a side of rice to enjoy the broth with. All that cost me about $20 with my 18% tip. Environment is really cool, I love the decor. Service was friendly, causal, and fast! Definitely worth trying ⭐️👍🏻

Dropped by after a friend suggested it and I was not disappointed. The guac was delicious and the chips were super fresh. We also got all different tacos and a tamale which were also all very good. I wasn’t a fan of the hibiscus tea but the pineapple fresca was really good.

This was our second time at this location and we still left impressed. We came in for a quick bite before an event, everyone was so nice and attentive. The food came out quick and so fresh! The Pork Fat tacos were our favorite — they are a must have!! Also the sweet plantains were so sweet and not oily! We will be back again! Thanks for the great food & service!

Power, Victory, & Pride are the traits of a Black Rooster. This place hits two of those: Pride - the staff, you can tell they all believe in the food and the quality, and Power - they have a lot of reviews. The ingredients were quality but the flavor was lacking. The queso was a highlight. It was nice they don’t get too crazy with their tacos, most hipster taco places do. A simple taco done right is key, they were close; hence, not victorious over my taste buds.

Friendly service and amazing tacos. I highly recommend the Pozole Verde bowl and the black rooster asada taco. The taco was one of the best tacos I've ever had.

Black Rooster Taqueria offers a cozy cafe-style ambiance, featuring comfortable seating in a typical narrow store-front setting. The menu showcases delicious Mexican cuisine with a creative twist, specializing in unique bowls and tacos. The counter service is efficient, and there are comfortable booths for a relaxed dining experience. Our counter-server, Audrey, provided friendly and professional service, and made excellent food recommendations from the rather unusual menu. I highly recommend Black Rooster Taqueria for those seeking a distinctive take on Mexican fare.

Amazing! The atmosphere is fun and eclectic. The service was great and the staff was super friendly. Loved every single bite! Tried all the different tacos and they were all delicious. Loved the made from scratch corn tortillas. The guacamole was creamy and super fresh. Their order of chips and salsa does not come with the typical pico de gallo. Instead, we got a taste of each one of their salsas. Highly recommend this place!

We have had half a dozen meals here before and happen to be in the neighborhood and thought we would pop in. Today I will say it was more Christopher Plumber than a Chris Evans (instead of a hot kind sexy meal it was more of an old taste to it that bites later), plus the meal overall was served a bit sloppy. The Mexican hot cocoa was served in two to go cups because it was spilled all over the 1st cup it was poured into, I would have started over but maybe that is just me being picky (man I sound like super Karen)! Anyway, nachos were hot, tasty and tons of calories and we had a kale salad that they made with almost no dressing (balances out the nachos). The other five times, dialed up!!! This time…ehh.

I’ve been to the Curry Ford location and really enjoyed the tacos so we decided to try the Mills location. It’s smaller but has a great vibe and as a bonus is next to The Guesthouse. We ordered an assortment of tacos including the, black rooster asada, achiote pork, carne asada, crispy fish and smoked beef brisket. We also started with the fresh guacamole and chips. All were savory and delicious. Just as good as the other location. I’d definitely return again.

There are quite a few great taco places all in this area of Orlando, and to be honest, you’d be happy with many of them, but I still think Black Rooster Taqueria is one of the best options. It’s pretty expensive all things considered, but the flavor is all the way there with their tacos! They have an excellent selection of beef, pork, fish, and chicken tacos. They specialize in elevated tacos that are better and more unique than traditional street tacos! Alongside their tacos, they have an awesome drink selection (even making their own unique coffee as well), quite a few sides, and other entree options other than tacos. However, if you’re coming here for the first time, please do try their tacos - that’s what’s best. I’ve yet to have a bad one, and some of my favorites include their shrimp and chorizo taco, black rooster asada taco, crispy fish taco, and pork fat taco! Pick a few (4 is probably good per person), maybe get some guacamole for the table if you’re wanting an additional item, and you have the perfect meal right there! You don’t have to wait very long and the flavor is always consistent here. There are many gluten-free options by the way!! Great place - we will continue to visit for more good food!

Do your Taco Tuesday here! They have the BEST Crispy Fish taco in Orlando (hands down). It’s got a fantastic flavor and the pickled cabbage, cilantro and avocado just all work together! I always start with the guac and chips. My other favorite is the Carne Asada taco (it’s a very close second to the fish taco). For sides, I absolutely LOVE the Cilantro Pablano Rice, Vegetarian Black Beans and the Sweet Plantains. Be careful, you will end up eating everything you order!

Every time I come to Orlando I make an effort to stop here and get some amazing tacos! My favorite is the crispy fish, which has avocado, pickled cabbage, and radish and comes together very nicely. I also tried the pork belly taco for the first time, which might be second place for me. It was crispy and had a delicious flavor. The black rooster asada is also great. This time a tried the regular carne asada and I was a bit disappointed. The sauce was almost bbq-y and really didn’t taste like a good carne asada. My boyfriend tried the steak with chimichurri taco and while it was fine, it was overloaded with toppings. That being said, the good tacos are excellent and I will continue to come back for more! Also, the tres leches cake is delicious and a perfect (and huge!) dessert!

Grandson joined me today after talking about it for 3 weeks. One closer on Curry Ford. No the original Gma. We were not disappointed. I had brisket taco. Chips and guacamole. Grandson had carne asada, black beans, tinga.

Great eats! The service is always good and food comes out in a timely manner, highly recommend BR Nachos

Delicious food! The can do most of the tacos gluten free. Guacamole is delightful with cilantro and loads of flavor! The tacos were loaded and flavorful! The corn tortilla was perfect!!! Lemongrass drink was refreshing and crisp.

Black Rooster Taqueria is a fabulous place to eat. Every single taco was phenomenal (from right to left Brisket, Pork Fat, and Black Roster Asda). It’s hard to stop eating the guacamole and chips as well as the chips and salad. Definitely a place you need to try if you love gourmet tacos.

This is such a special place and well worth one's time! The food is fantastic. All of the servers and staff are such lovely people constantly checking in and providing great service. This goes beyond a good meal but is a great experience! And if you have a puppy, then know that they love dogs and welcome them on their patio/outdoor seating area. Plus, they came by offering a water bowl and bacon for our dog. The next time we get back to Orlando we will make it a point to eat here again.

I really wanted to LOVE this place, it comes highly recommended from people I respect a lot. Firstly, parking was a nightmare. There is no lot and no where in a 3-block (residential) area to park. Ended up having to park in front of a random persons home which I felt a little weird about. If I based my entire review just on service, it would be 5 stars. Our first mistake was sitting outside. We are both born and raised here so the heat doesn’t bother us too much but the sun was positioned directly in my eyes with no reprieve, obviously not their fault. But the smell of the dumpsters was so overwhelming, I still feel sick thinking about it. There were flies buzzing around us constantly, not the best atmosphere for eating. We did the “bite 30” meals, I think that may have been mistake number two. It’s not something they offer all the time. I really wish we would have just ordered from the regular menu but we were feeling adventurous. The appetizers were out of this world GOOOOODD, especially the brisket croquettes. The main course was the only real issue. The chicken was really dry and bland. Heard the table next to us also commenting on this. :( The steak medallions were great, the sauce was the best part but there was barely any of it. Desserts were excellent! I can’t say enough about the service though, I would drive an hour to give this place another shot just because the people were so kind and helpful. We didn’t get the opportunity to speak with Maxine but she was walking around and talking to each table. We left feeling disappointed but could tell that a lot of care and love went into this place so don’t want to be too harsh

I have been wanting to go here for years, and it did not disappoint! The food was phenomenal! Everyone on the wait staff spoke to us to ensure we were enjoying ourselves and the meal. This is a first-class restaurant, I will return the next time I am in central Florida.

Let's start off by saying the greeter/host set a very happy and pleasant mood. The food was good but a bit on the hefty side price wise. It's understandable though and if you support small local businesses, just pay it. Drinks were good but same issue pricing wise. Atmosphere was very eclectic with a strong sense of family. Outside patio area is spacious. Overall I would go back eventually.

We dined here on Friday after searching Google maps for a brunch spot. We were NOT disappointed! We did make a reservation on their website so if you can, that would be helpful as there is not a whole lot of seating, especially if the weather is not good. This place is so fun and unique! I want to go back soon because there were several items on the menu I wanted to try. I went for the Chicken & Biscuit Bowl. YUMMY! Some of the best biscuits I've ever had. The gravy was so hearty, it reminded me of pot pie filling. The chicken was fried perfectly. I added cheese and the double thick bacon.....woah! Always add the bacon. My husband ordered the burger. Cooked perfectly medium rare. The bread I think had garlic salt on it.....delicious! Get the bacon on it too!! Can't wait to come back with friends!

Been meaning to write this review for a while now. We went to Maxine’s on Shine during Bite30 (I think it was last year) and we sat at the bar where one of the owners waited on us. Food was incredible, the food and drink pairing was spot on and the conversation was great. Highly recommend.

Fun! The throwback decor was just the beginning. I arrived solo, which is usually not advisable because this place is jumpin' and reservations are the norm. But I got seated immediately! The service was fast, knowledgeable, and very attentive. Several people approached my table aside from the server, to ensure everything was grea.....And it was!!!! Great atmosphere and absolutely delicious food! I will be back (with a reservation) for dinner!! Nothing was off! Food, service, atmosphere, and pride of ownership all came forward to shine! (See what I did there!) Put this place on your list! Priced right as well.

This place is awesome. Much better than all the touristy places on International drive. We drove an 1 1/2 to get here and it was well worth it. We loved the alternative vibe of the staff and the location. The service and food are both excellent. We didn’t get to meet Maxine this time, but “Mr. Maxine” did take the time to come out and greet us, he seem d very authentic person that really loved what him and his wife are doing here. He had planned to take a photo with him out front and left before that could happen, BUT once he noticed we had gone he walked a block away to find us getting into our car to make sure we got a photo with him and to thank us. It was an awesome experience. My wife and I have eat at well over 400 places in the last few years and do not come back to the same place very often, this is a location that I we plan to come back to :) these guys are doing so many things right that you have to love it. For a really good experience I would plan to spend somewhere in the $30-$50 per person for brunch.

This was a neat place! Very local, and the owners are very involved! Good for brunch, and all of the staff was very friendly and content! Food was good, and drinks were refreshing. Only downside, they freshly painted the red tables, but the paint wasn't weathered or dry, it ruined a really nice shirt. Overall, worth checking out!

We have lived in Orlando 5 years and never managed to make it a priority to visit. What a mistake, Maxine’s was amazing! We stopped by around 2:00 on a Sunday and sat at the bar with Mr. Maxine and Mark. Both were incredibly friendly and helpful and other staff members stopped by to say hello as well. We ordered the sangria (delicious) and then followed up with the tangerine mimosas (also delicious). For breakfast I got the brisket and my partner got the chicken bowl all the way. Both were so delicious and we left with leftovers. Can’t believe I waited for long to visit. Will definitely be back in the near future. The decorations for Halloween were fantastic as well and all for sale with the proceeds going to charity! P.S. I normally don’t do biscuits because they tend to be too dry. These were delicious and moist. I ordered one to go!

Nice and quaint atmosphere. Outside seating was delightful in the Orlando morning weather. Drinks were great in taste and strength while being paired the fabulous brunch. Green Tomatoes Crab Cake Stout Braised Brisket w/ Potatoes and Eggs Bloody Mary Hampton Margarita

From the time we arrived, to the time we left, there is nothing but great things to say about the service we received. We had just landed in Orlando and found Maxine's great reviews and decided to give it a try. There was no disappointment! The food and drinks are amazing. Best brunch menu we have had in Florida. The service is superb 👌 Thank you so much for being so accommodating with our bags 🛍

The decor is eclectic and full of art. I loved the nod to retro. From the glassware to the walls and lighting, it is full of personality. The staff is friendly, drinks are yummy, and food is definitely worth the wait. It was brunch time, so we waited but not sad about it. There are benches to sit in while you wait. Everything we had was delicious. We had their Chicken and Waffles, the Brie, Shrimp, and Bacon omelet and one of their brunch specials of the day: Lobster Benedict. Happy we went

Visited in November 2023 for dinner. Experience was fabulous overall. Drinks were solid, I had a couple sangria, and my wife had a variations a Moscow Mule. Food, we had an Argentinian Chorizo appetizer (that came out after our dinners), that was very tasty. Wife had a trout dish with asparagus, she said it was VERY good. I had the lasagna, and i exaggerate NOT when I say it was the BEST lasagna I have ever had in my life!! It was rather moderately priced too, added bonus. Restaurant is in a quiet residential area, lo-key unique surroundings. We actually could walk to restaurant from where we stayed, but it didn’t look like parking would be difficult. Dessert was a very unique looking and tasting pumpkin crème brule. Wife really liked it, I was a bit ambivalent towards it. Also, someone on staff has a good music ear because they play some solid music while you dine. My wife is gluten free, and while they did have a couple of options on the menu, it would have been nice to see more. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We went to Maxine’s for the first time last night. What an experience! First, the decor is quirky and fun. The vibe was casual and relaxed. “Mr. Maxine” came around and was super welcoming. The service was perfect and the food was outstanding! We ate the appetizers before taking photos. I got the beet and arugula salad and my fiancé got the chorizo. We loved them and ate every morsel! The wine selection included some unique wines which were fun to try. One was a red sweet Italian wine that was served chilled. I loved it! For dinner, I got the lobster ravioli which had scallops and shrimp and my fiancé got the trout. The flavors were perfectly delicious! But the star of the night were the desserts. I got the caramel cheesecake which was the best cheesecake I’ve ever had! And my fiancé got the key lime pie which he loved too. We can’t wait to go back!

Great food and good drinks, but the service was slow. We didn't see our server until 15min after we sat down despite making a reservation. However, the restaurant owners were very friendly and apologetic after they found out. Prices are reasonable for the quality. They were even generous with the lobster on my lobster eggs benedict. I'd come back to try their dinner menu sometime.

We went here for Sunday brunch in the private dining room. This place is a must to visit in Orlando. We loved the food, ambience and the staff. We even were told by the server that we can have our cake and eat it too, where they gave our party complimentary champagne with a liquor as we were celebrating a birthday 🎈🎂. We also love that is locally owned by a husband and wife team. Awesome restaurant and a must try.

Awesome brunch. Large Bloody Mary was excellent tasting. I highly recommend reservations as I heard them tell someone 30-45 min that just walked up but they seated us in 10 min of our reservation. Owner was great to chat with and definitely makes a fun vibe. We will be back many times for sure.

My husband found this place and though I wasn’t excited about sitting in 15-20 minutes worth of traffic we were not disappointed when we arrived! We were met with a place that wasn’t boring or typical. It was a work of art! Everyone was kind and accommodating to my toddler. Our awesome server Perry got the kids a paper menu and colored pencils to draw with for their entertainment and my husband and I tangerine mimosas. Yummy! We even got to meet Mr. Maxine himself who was a superb host with a great sense of humor and relatability to all his guests. You know you’ve found a real treasure when the owner and all the employees are happy to be there! We witnessed only good vibes from everyone. The food, oh my goodness, the food was cooked to order from scratch. The steak fries were perfectly well seasoned. My Stout Braised Brisket was moist and tender. The biscuits were fantastic too. My son had chicken and waffles and liked the rosemary butter and husband greatly enjoyed his New York Strip! There was nothing left on their plates. My toddler had some eggs and bacon so it worked out for all us! I would recommend going there any time they’re open that you can find a reason to go. The outdoor patio seating looked gorgeous too. As we left we ran into Mr. Maxine one more time who took pictures for us and a selfie too😂what a character! Support this small business for the love of humanity!

No other place I rather brunch!!! It’s my favorite always. Everyone is so welcoming, service is excellence and great atmosphere. Food is incredible too, great mimosas.

I've been wanting to go here for quite a while and it did not disappoint. The outside seating was super nice and given the great weather I t felt very appropriate. The chicken and biscuit was absolutely delicious and when paired with a Sangria its a 1-2 combo to die for! Bonus cause my dog was able to join.

Went to Maxine’s after seeing great reviews including the Michelin Bib Gourmand rating and was blown away! Our server was kind, the cocktails were original and strong, and all of the food was incredible. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and when one of the Owners found out, he brought us complimentary champagne and even gave us a toast (one that rhymed!). We look forward to making our way through the rest of Maxine’s menu and many more date nights here :) Thank you to everybody for making our night special.

Main dining room is very loud. Service is top notch. Food portions are tiny, but high quality. Expect to pay 100+ per person if you want to feel full.

Loved this place. We went for sushi but had other things too. The service was prompt, we made a reservation and they were ready for us. The food was super delicious and made with fresh ingredients. I will for sure come back and try more from their menu.

They have nice decor and good customer service. Overall, we were disappointed with the food and drinks. We heard they were nominated for a Beard award so we had high expectations. We tried many things from the menu and only 2 items were just okay. We’ll definitely stick with my other favorite sushi spots. Not only do they have better sushi but the prices are better also.

Tiktok told me of course. My first time here. Plus they participate in Magical Dining so I had to come. The food, service, & ambience and was so good/nice. I would go again. Parking does suck though. But you should try this place!!!

Quite possibly the best sushi I've ever eaten. A friend found Kabooki on Eater as a top restaurant experience, and I was in Orlando for a meeting. It seemed like a small risk to leave the Disney campus and take a long drive to a restaurant, but wow! The quality, presentation, and taste were outstanding. Our server was all-in, and her passion for the food made the experience even better. A great night.

For a date night this is a great place to go. They have a lounge to get small bites or drinks and the atmosphere there is excellent. In the dining area it's very modern and chic. Really enjoyed the teriyaki edamame and they had a seasonal pumpkin gnocchi as well. The rolls were unique and tasty. On the pricier side so prepare for that, but it's worth the cost for a nice night out.

This is my favorite Sushi restaurant in Orlando. I can always count with the food being fresh and delicious. We went for Valentines day and the experience was superb! Loved the drinks and every single plate was unique and tasty. Highly recommend! ❤️

Had a fabulous dinner here tonight. The atmosphere was really good. It is a great place for a drink, good sushi and to hang out with friends or family. I will definitely be back on my next work trip. Give it two thumbs up.

I will start by saying that our waiter Ali was amazing and she made great recommendations for our first time here. The place is decorated very nice and the environment is super chill. I was impressed with their food and drinks. We had some food from the regular menu and from the chef special. We will definitely come back again!

This place gets very busy. The parking lot isn't the biggest so just be aware if you are planning to meet with a group. The inside is designed nicely and there are two sections of bar seating, some high top tables, booths, and other tables. It does get very loud, almost to a point you can't hear across the table. The food was good. It's on the higher side of sushi, but it was tasty and fresh. The service was good and had great recommendations.

.I would recommend making reservations so you can get good seating. We did not, and so had to sit in the bar area which had more lounge-style booths with knee high tables. But it was still a great experience and the atmosphere is really cool. The servers were attentive and gave great recommendations. The only downsides in my opinion were that the music was a little loud and menu was kind of confusing. But we loved everything we ordered, so I am sure all of it is good. The ghost roll and Tom Yum roll are some of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had.

My absolute FAVORITE sushi restaurant, maybe even favorite restaurant in Orlando. This time we went for their magical dining menu, which is what you see pictured here, plus 2 rolls, the Hawaii and the Chill roll. Usually we get the Maguro Truffle cold tasting and I couldn’t recommend it more. It’s a must! We also enjoy doing sashimi tastings and just getting a bunch of stuff to share. I’ve never leave disappointed or hungry, and it’s awesome to see how it’s grown! I would recommend a reservation, as if you don’t have one you may get turned away. There is a lounge now though that you can also eat in so that may be another option if you were willing to try anyways. Couldn’t recommend this place more.

Everything was exceptional, the food was amazing, our server Tori was fantastic. Her explanations of the menu items and her suggestions on course progression and pairings were spot on, it was not just her keen understanding of the menu through personal experience but true appreciation for it that took us on a magical culinary journey. I would definitely recommend asking to be seated in her section!

The quality in food and technique in the kitchen was beyond expectations. This is probably the freshest sushi I have sampled here in Orlando. If you're debating whether the food matches their menu price - just order it. You will not be disappointed. Everything was fresh, cut to perfection, and rolled with love/grace. We tried the Zen Roll, Akami Unagi roll, and the Ghost Roll. All absolutely delicious and bursting with so much flavor! My only regret was not coming in with enough $$ to sample more delicious food and drinks. The drinks are on the same level in quality as their food. I've never had hot sake that actually had such a smooth flavor. Highly recommend - it makes for a good pallet cleaner in between dishes. Although I highly recommend trying some drinks from their lounge menu which will only appear when you're inside their restaurant. So delicious I only wish I could remember the name of this cocktail it was the perfect balance of smooth and sweet. I cannot wait to return and try more delicious choices! 10/10

We absolutely loved our dining experience there! Our bartender Chen was outstanding with great drinks. The food was delicious, as we shared multiple plates. The caviar was really good, the uni shot was delicious, and the beef carpacio was amazing. Everything was great, though extremely overpriced for the size of the portions you get. We still had an awesome culinary experience!

1/13/2024 I don't know if I had my favorite sushi of all time but it was pretty inventive sushi and I did enjoy it. Everything seemed to be fresh and carefully prepared. Gage, our server, was friendly and made good suggestions engaging the experience further. This is not a cheap outing, so be prepared to pay but it's unique with lots of energy. We sat at the sushi bar which seemed to be a living entity the way each person added together to produce a final product. I'd go back for sure. Lots more to try.

It is a very warm and cozy atmosphere and the service was excellent. The servers were great and the food did not take long to come out. I highly recommend the pork ribs and any of the sushi rolls should be superb.

I came here for magical dining month and I was very happy. The food was fresh, tasted great. Cocktails were creative and delicious. Really enjoyed truffle edamame. Also, there was plenty of food for the three course option.

It had been on my list to try and we finally made it for my BIL birthday! I know it took a while but it sure was worth the wait. We made reservations so check in was fast and grateful that they have complimentary valet. We were looking forward to a couple of items we had our eyes on and they sure delivered. Not only on taste but the quality of ingredients. We got miso soup, wakame, brussel sprouts, nigiri, LV roll, lobster tail dumplings, wagyu A5 hot rock and wrapped it up with the c-4! Service was good but could had been a bit better. We will definitely come back and try the Sand Lake location.

best japanese in town. The food was just amazing, the service was fast and efficient, every plate was better that the other one, we definitely coming back to this place. Yes it is quite expensive but definitely worth it. Thanks!

I love Lao food. I like the papaya salad here. They used to make it really delicious with the black crab flavor but the last time I came, it doesn't have that flavor anymore. Bummer. I love their chicken noodle soup with coconut milk. That's my favorite cuisine there now. My whole family used to like their chicken wings but the flavor has changed since the last few times we came.

Amazing food & service. First time having Laos food and wow. Family owned business that pumps out some amazing dishes at lightening speed. We loved everything we had. Highly recommend the jerky and the coconut curry chicken. Warm Sticky rice dessert was phenomenal as well. Go with a group and order 1 of every thing. You won’t be disappointed!

The food here is so good. They have a lot of shareable items. I love the shrimp chips, crispy rice lettuce wraps, the tapioca dumplings, chicken laab rice bowl, lemongrass beef jerky and the coconut sticky rice with mango for dessert. Honestly, it’s delicious. The food is full of flavor and spice. If you are looking to try something new, this would be the place. I craved the coconut sticky rice.

I have been looking for a Laotian restaurant for some time now. Sticky Rice did not disappoint! The flavors are distinct from other Asian styles of cooking, so if you think it's anything you've tried at your local Chinese, Japanese, or Korean spot, respectfully, you'd be wrong. Affordable, delicious, and a very chill vibe. I'll be back again!

Service: the staff was very patient with me as I asked a thousand questions about the menu as it was my first time trying Lao food. You order your food at a counter and the staff really only emerges when you need them to, which is something I enjoyed. Food: The flavors are very unique and the portion sizes are meant to be shared, I would greatly recommend coming with an appetite and with a few people. I definitely recommend the lemongrass beef jerky and the crispy rice lettuce wraps!!! Atmosphere: This seemingly small restaurant is full of great vibes and lively chatter. Price: Each item was about $4-12, the most expensive item I saw was maybe $15. Great prices allow you to try a few different options on the menu. Overall: 8.3/10

Sticky Rice is one of the best Asian restaurants in the whole Orlando area! I’ve been going here for years and I love it! They have the best Lao food I’ve ever eaten (which has elements from Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese if you’ve never tried), and I’ve visited northern Thailand where there are many Lao restaurants. They specialize in Lao street food and many of the dishes are absolutely incredible! Crispy Rice Lettuce Wraps, Lemongrass Beef Jerky, Pork Sausage, Pork Tapioca Dumplings, Curry Ribs, Laab…I could go on and on! So many good items from their menu. If you’re ever craving small-plate Asian food, I would recommend here before almost anywhere. Prices are reasonable, there is a decent amount of parking right next to the restaurant, food comes out fast (even when it’s busy), and the decor really makes you feel like you’re in Asia! I just love everything about this place and can’t speak highly enough of it. Give Sticky Rice a try and you’ll love it!!!

When the food was brought out the pleasant aroma of each dish started the experience off right. I am left speechless by the exquisite taste of the fall off the bone ribs and the fried garlic dry rub wings which burst with flavor with each bite. The jerky is perfectly crispy without being hard to chew and pairs well with the sticky rice. The sweet purple rice topped with mango is a nice finishing touch to a perfect meal. Service was 5 stars and the highest of compliments to the chef.

A foodie friend brought me here four years ago but I didn’t remember until I arrived. I knew that it was going to be a good dining experience because of his past love for this place. We ordered the Chicken Bao, Pork Tapioca Dumplings, Lemongrass Beef Jerky and Papaya Salad (Hot). Our favorite was the jerky although we enjoyed all of them. I like hot and the papaya salad was plenty hot without being ridiculous. We also each had a side of sticky rice which I feel could be shared if you’re not going to eat a lot. I’d definitely return again now that I’ve been reminded of the place.

The food and vibe is much different from the last time I came here. The food is still pretty good but doesn’t have the same feel or taste. This place is a stop every time I am here in Orlando. Would recommend for those who wants to try something new.

1 Star - food was completely underwhelming. Will never return. 2 Star - food was sub par. Could return after changes are made. 3 Star- Nothing special here. As expected food and would return when the craving strikes. 4 Star - Food or service was above average. There was something good here and I will seek opportunities to eat here. 5 Star - exceptional food quality, quantity, and service. I will go out of my way to eat here and travel to this destination for a meal. I have lever experienced Lao food before. Honestly, of all of the countries in the world, Laos has always seemed distant and difficult to learn about. So, when a friend recommended that we try, I was game. The flavors were great. They really popped and lingered with you making you wish you had just a bit more. Everything was fresh and pretty quality. A bit different than you would expect that portrays themselves as "street food". Also, Thai Green Tea may be one of my new favorite drinks. I like Thai Tea a good bit, but using Green Tea instead of the dyed black tea, it was so flavorful and fantastic. I don't like Green Tea typically, but I suppose I should try it with sugar now... Regardless, I would anticipate returning here and eating again. It was quite tasty and if you are like me, take the opportunity to learn something new!

Very good food. Bit on the pricey side, though. For the cost and how good it was, I will probably try someplace else next time and see if I can get a better value. No doubt was good food, though. Service was not bad, nor was it good. The young lady taking orders looked and felt like she really did not want to be there. The dining room was neat and clean and well themed. The restroom was neat and clean as well. Parking is around the corner.

Another food adventure! This place is one of our top choices every time we come down to the Orlando area for authentic Lao Street Food. For the past 3 years as always they’re very consistent. Plus, the best lemongrass beef jerky - cannot leave without. Also, the desserts if you have room for it - it is a must try! We will be back again for sure…🫶👌 Feasting…🤩😋 2 orders of Lemongrass Beef Jerky ~ A serving of flash-fried lemongrass marinated beef. Cucumber Salad 🌶️🌶️ ~ Lao style with pungent and salty flavors, cherry tomatoes, chillies, and funky dank sauce. Steak Laab Rice Bowl 🌶️ ~ Steak Laab served over jasmine rice with a side of cucumbers. Extra side of jasmine rice 🍚 Sweet Purple Rice With Mango ~ Sweet rice topped with mango, coconut cream, and coconut flakes.

Omg ! Amazing food ! I was going not knowing how was gonna be. But it was so good. I had the garlic wings (so good) The tapioca pork dumplings (this ones blew my mind , they taste so freaking good ) And the steak la laab. Such good flavors ! Definitely will be my fav place 😌 in Orlando! So super recommended for a nice and delicious meal. 🫶🏼 oh and I forgot the green Thai iced tea ♥️

I would say this barely is a 4 star experience. The food is very healthy though for you health buffs and rabbits out there! I got the pork belly larb, the beef jerkey, the purple rice horchata, and jeow bong wings. The service and atmosphere are good, our cashier was nice. The pork belly larb was healthy but not my style. The beef jerkey is a MUST EAT. the purple rice horchata is like any other horchata. And the Jeow Bong Wings are decent but why would I pay 11 dollars for 4 regular wings and 1 deformed baby wing when I can get 5 huge wings at 7 eleven for 5 dollars and have just as much flavor? Hm. If you want the taste of Laos, this will do, but I don't blame you if you ever come back after the novelty of the first visit. You do get a nice glass souvenir though if you order a laos beer.

So I'm Filipino and my wife and her family are Lao. We long anticipated the opening of this restaurant as we're Disney pass holders and swing by Dim Sum, Pho, Korean, and Boiling Crawfish on every visit to O-Town. Well now we have a new place to add to our rotation! Very reasonably priced, great casual "picnic/family style" layout in true Lao community fashion. Service is great w a smile and compliment, and the food is true legit Laotian! What a relief! Hard to pull off authentic Laos food, unless of course, your whole kitchen staff and owners are Laotian. Wash your hands and eat w your fingers legit! Our favorites: - Larb gai - chicken wings BBQ (better than home made-don't tell mom) - sin Hang - tamahung - tamactua Or pretty much anything on the menu, really. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars = when we ask for "Loa Spicy", it doesn't mean Thai spicy. We want it PET PET - like crying, sweating, running to the rest room spicy - like we do at home. We get it, too spicy is not for everyone. Keep up the great work!!

Very cool ambiance. Papaya Salad - So tasty and refreshing. I would have preferred shrimp chips over pork rinds though. Jeow Bong Chicken Bao - Packed with saucy flavor! Coconut Curry Ramen - Absolutely delicious soup base. All of the ingredients were cooked well, and the noodles had great texture. Sweet Purple Rice with Mango - A satisfying way to end the meal. It wasn't too sweet and can definitely be shared.

Undoubtedly one of my favorite places in Orlando. Laotian food which has a great variety of flavors. Counter service and long table style seating. Also, the restaurant is a bib gourmand on the Michelin Guide! Get the lemongrass beef jerky, sausage, and mango sticky rice!
