    Updated to add -- we are frequenting this place a lot. It is consistently delicious! Their krab rangoons are unlimited pockets of heaven.

    The food? mostly dry. The service? actually pretty quick. The ambiance? on par for a Chinese buffet at 3 in the afternoon. The jello? Flavorless, colorless, amazing

    My bf's mom wanted to try this spot so we took her there along with other family members. We went for an early dinner. There is ample seating space inside and many buffet stations to explore. Our server was friendly and brought us refills of beverages and cleared used plates. There is a great selection of food here. I started at the sushi area. The sushi is decent, nothing outstanding, but not bad. They have your usual selection of basic rolls. The hot foods offered a lot of variety. There were hits and misses. I thought the beef and broccoli was pretty good. The fried fish was really yummy. Some of the chicken dishes I also enjoyed. It was sometimes hard to tell the names of dishes depending on which side of the buffet you were on (it would be great to see labels on both sides). Overall, I really felt there was good food at a very reasonable price and I would return. It's not the best, but it's always fun to experience different foods at a good price point. My realistic review is a solid 3.5, but I didn't round up to 4 because the bathroom was not very clean or well stocked. That's always important in my opinion, so I'd love to see that improved.

    Assorted bites from half the dinner section lol

    This meal brought me heavy nostalgic vibes considering growing up the Chinese buffet in town was always a fun family dinner experience. City buffet was exactly how I imagined it would be and perhaps even better. We didn't try the hibachi section they had which next time I will have to try, nor the sushi though it did like appetizing. The standouts for me had to be the fried prawns and the fried whitefish. Some items tasted like frozen foods fried which I expected and other items were a little on the dry side but ultimately I had 2 plates plus's a dessert plate with fruit I forgot to snap a pic of. I'd recommend coming for lunch (before 3:30) to save a few bucks but for $16 a person I can't say I felt ripped off. Soda was an extra charge but they also still had "sierra mist" instead of Starry hehe (at least on the receipt). Service was incredible, whenever either of use finished a plate they would swiftly remove and clean the spot plus refill any beverages. I'd like to go back again and try the sushi along with the hibachi section, but overall it brought me back to my childhood growing up with nearly identical food options and flavors, and for that I suggest a meal if craving some american chinese grub.

    I got an ad for this place on IG so a few of us decided to check it out. It's $11.99 for lunch and $15.99 for dinner. We figured for $15.99 even if it was mediocre it was still worth the price. The buffet consisted of a hibachi station, sushi, your typical buffet Chinese food items, oysters, chilled shrimp, a section of American items (fries, chicken, etc) and of course desserts. There was a huge variety of food and I tried a lot of it! I did not try the hibachi which I kind of regret but I did get 6 or 7 different types of sushi and about 10 different items from the Chinese part of the buffet. Everything was pretty good, some of the sushi was kind of mushy but overall I definitely think it was worth the price. I've had better sushi at buffets but the Chinese portion was just as good as any other buffet i've been to. I think it was a great deal for the price and variety!

    Recently I had dinner at Lighthouse Seafood Market & Cafe and it was my first time there, but…read moredefinitely not my last. Lighthouse is both a full seafood market and restaurant, giving you that fresh off the boat quality seafood cooked exactly how you like and served right to your table. I had the Blackened Grouper with broccoli and parsley red potatoes. The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly, super juicy and incredibly fresh. The sides were just as good paired with the fish perfectly. I also had a tasty little side Caesar salad. The house Caesar dressing was great, lightly dressed so it didn't drown the romaine like some places do, and finished with grated parmesan and crunchy croutons. Overall, this was a great meal. The service was great, the food was excellent, and I would highly recommend checking them out.

Let's start with Morgan because WOW. If customer service had a Hall of Fame, she'd already have a statue out front. She was super nice, fast, on point, and somehow knew what we needed before we did. Shrimp & Grits: one bite and just sat there in silence and awe! Fried Shrimp Basket: Crispy like it just graduated from Crunch University. Not greasy, not heavy, golden perfection. These shrimp had more balance than my checking account and more flavor than most people's personalities. This place didn't just meet expectations--it body-slammed them! Highly recommend.

The lakeside view provides a stunning, romantic backdrop that elevates the entire evening--it's easily one of the most beautiful settings in Central Florida. The Highlights * The Custom Antipasto Tray: This is the star of the show. I love that you get to choose exactly the items you want. We opted for the mushrooms and shrimp, plus much more and all items were incredibly fresh and flavorful. It's a great way to tailor your starters to your specific cravings. * Fresh Starters: The house salad is a standout--crisp, fresh, and a perfect lead-in to the main course. * The Main Event: The Veal Scaloppine was tender and seasoned perfectly. It's clear they use high-quality cuts and traditional techniques here. * Sweet Finishes: Definitely save room for dessert. The wedding cake is wonderful and moist, and the peppermint ice cream is a refreshing, nostalgic treat that I highly recommend. Pro Tip: Parking They offer free valet parking, which makes the arrival seamless. Just a friendly reminder to bring some cash to tip the driver, as they provide excellent service! Overall: Between the customizable appetizers and the gorgeous view of the water, Enzo's is a top-tier choice for a special night out.

    Authentic Italian, incredible food, and a beautiful family atmosphere…read more We had such a wonderful experience tonight at Nonno's Italian Restaurant in Altamonte Springs, and I cannot recommend it enough. Everything we ordered tasted truly homemade and authentic, the way Italian food should be. We enjoyed the homemade lasagna and the homemade fettuccine Alfredo with breaded chicken, and both were absolutely outstanding. The pasta was fresh, the sauces were rich and perfectly balanced, and every bite tasted like it came straight from an Italian grandmother's kitchen--although in this case it actually came from grandfather's kitchen, since "Nonno" means grandfather in Italian. They start you with delicious warm bread served with their homemade pesto sauce, which was incredible. We also had the potato, squash, and carrot soup, which was comforting and flavorful. For dessert we had the limoncello cake, and it was the perfect light, bright ending to the meal. Our waitress Lauren Rose was fantastic--warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. One of the most special moments of the evening was meeting the owner, Stefano ("Nonno"), who stopped by our table to say hello. At the end of the night we noticed something that truly speaks to the heart of this restaurant: the entire staff sitting down together for a family-style dinner with Stefano and his wife. He cooks for them every day and feeds his team. That tells you everything you need to know about this place. Nonno's isn't just a restaurant--it feels like being welcomed into someone's home. The food is exceptional, the people are wonderful, and the atmosphere is warm and genuine. If you're looking for authentic Italian food in Altamonte Springs, this is a place you absolutely must visit. We will definitely be back!

The food is stellar- my new favorite Italian spot in Orlando. So much better than the overpriced trendy spots with small portions and mid grade food; you will have lots of delicious leftovers here!

The owner and chef, Steffano, came out to shake our hands and introduce himself to us. You could tell he loves his job and takes great pride in the excellence of his food and the overall experience.
