CAPA

Located at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort, this slick 17th floor rooftop steakhouse and bar offers exceptionally crafted cuisine with a distinct Spanish influence. Everything from the ham croquettes to the 32-ounce wagyu steak is expertly prepared, while the signature cocktails and thoughtful wine list also rise to the occasion. 

RUSSELL’S ON LAKE IVANHOE

Situated on the picturesque Lake Ivanhoe, Russell’s has plenty of atmosphere to match its stellar menu full of standout dishes that are refined without being fussy. We love the tuna tartare with avocado and the grilled swordfish, but truly any one of the plates is sure to satisfy. Just be sure to save room for the pineapple foster, the restaurant’s signature dessert. 

BIG FIN

BIG FIN

Nestled into Restaurant Row along Sand Lake Road, Big Fin stands out amongst the crowd thanks to its focus on quality seafood. And you don’t have to be a pescatarian to enjoy the scallop ceviche, seared yellowtail snapper, whole Maine lobster or the sushi rolls; but just in case you prefer more turf than surf, the New Zealand lamb chops should do the trick.

KNIFE & SPOON

John Tesar, an award-winning chef who once received a stamp of approval from the late Anthony Bourdain and competed on Top Chef, mans the kitchen at this warm and inviting high-end restaurant. The attention to detail and technique can be found up and down the menu from the squid ink bucatini to the locally sourced whole fish with lemongrass chimichurri. 

CHEF’S TABLE AT THE EDGEWATER

Found in the Edgewater Hotel in Winter Garden’s Downtown Historic District, gourmands from near and far flock to this farm-to-table restaurant. And who could blame them? The service is impeccable and the quaint dining room creates an intimate setting where all eyes are on the showstopping plates being created in the open kitchen. 

KRES CHOPHOUSE

Kres’ motto is “source, service and style,” and those are the key ingredients that have helped the beloved steakhouse be recognized as one of Orlando’s finest dining establishments. Not only are the mouthwatering steak cuts dry-aged on the premises and hand cut to order, but the seafood arrives fresh off the coast every day.

MAXINE’S ON SHINE

We always feel at home whenever we’re inside Kirt and Maxine Earhart’s cozy and eclectically decorated dining room tucked away on a residential block in Colonialtown. The vibe is perfect for a night out and the modern mix of comfort foods and unique twists on bistro classics make for an unforgettable meal from start to finish. 

CHROMA MODERN BAR + KITCHEN

The superb small plates pack big flavor at this restaurant where the sleek dining room is only rivaled by the prime outdoor seating areas. Think edamame with crispy bits of prosciutto and hot honey or lamb sliders with a mint aioli, basil and pickled red onion. The creative cocktail list is also full of seasonal libations that breathe new life into the classics. 

ENZO’S ON THE LAKE

Lakeside views and exquisite entrées are hallmarks at this polished Italian eatery that has been serving up homemade pastas, grilled steaks and chops, and fresh seafood for more than four decades. The desserts are also made in-house, including the lovely tiramisu and the can’t-miss zuccotto—a creamy dessert cake that makes for one incredible encore.
