I've dined at iconic heavyweights across the nation, including Bern's in Tampa and St. Elmo's in…read moreIndianapolis. While those places steal the national spotlight, Christner's Prime Steak & Lobster in Orlando is on an entirely different level. It doesn't need hype--the execution on every single dish speaks for itself. We started with the seared Ahi tuna starter. It's a wonderfully unique take on a classic--you get that clean, fresh tuna flavor, elevated by a subtle smoky note and incredible sauce dripping that ties it all together. Absolutely remarkable.  For the main course, I ordered the 12 oz. filet Pittsburg Rare. Finding a kitchen that can execute a true Pittsburgh Rare--a dark, charred crust on the outside while keeping the inside cold and rare--is extremely hard to come by. Christner's nails it effortlessly every time! The sides easily match the quality of the steaks: Au Gratin Potatoes: Rich, creamy, and baked with the ideal golden crust.  Asparagus: Perfectly snappy, fresh, and seasoned just right. Sautéed Mushrooms: Savory, juicy, and packed with deep umami. From the timeless ambiance to the seamless service, Christner's remains top-notch in every category. If you want the finest steak experience in the country, skip the tourist traps and come straight here.

I just think I expected more for a really nice and expensive restaurant…read more I heard great reviews about this place and wanted to try it as well live close to it and with it being on Lee Rd it's intriguing to have such a nice steakhouse in the mix. I made a reservation for my birthday through open table and put that it was our birthday. We walked in and were seated up the stairs and close to their bar section. It was really noisy like some reviews had said. There were people in tank tops and jeans so I felt overdressed in my dress and heels but if it's a nice steak and seafood restaurant like they say it is I just thought people would be dressed a little nicer. Our waiter was OK a little short a little cold. I had wanted a glass of champagne and he was a little bit impatient with me as I asked about the types of champagne they have. I had ordered the beef Wellington and he let me know that if it's my first time trying it, I shouldn't order it and I'm wondering if it's maybe because it was the cheapest thing on the menu. He did suggest the fish bites that were great. My boyfriend got a steak that was just okay. I know the restaurant is under no obligation to do this, but I thought that they would give me at least a little nod that it was my birthday or a treat or something and I totally get that in this day in age I can't expect it but we dropped $200 on a mediocre dinner , I just wanted some sort of "happy birthday" but again they didn't have to. I don't think we would return, it just wasn't worth the bill of that much money for mostly mediocre food and service. Not an establishment I would want to go to when we want to be fancy.

We were looking for something fun and different for brunch, and Reel Fish definitely checked the…read more"different" box. Unfortunately, the best parts of the meal were the free bread basket at the beginning and our server, who was fantastic from start to finish. The menu had us genuinely excited. Blue crab sweet potato hash sounds like a can't-miss brunch dish, but it arrived surprisingly flat on flavor and desperately needed seasoning. I kept waiting for the "wow" moment that matched the description, and it just never came. The shrimp and grits landed in a similar spot. Not bad by any means, but also not memorable. For a seafood-focused restaurant in Florida, I expected something with a little more personality and punch. The biggest challenge is that the prices set expectations pretty high. With a great staff, a cool concept, and an intriguing menu, I wanted to love it. Instead, I left feeling underwhelmed and wishing the food had lived up to the promise on the page. I'm not sure if there is another visit in my future, especially with the myriad of other great options.

The decor was very classic- I thought it was so beautiful with the semi circle bar in the middle with the open kitchen behind it. We were early enough for happy hour which they have such great deals on drinks- $10 martinis "as you wish". For appetizers, we had the bread service and the beef carpaccio. The bread was great and the butter was so creamy. The carpaccio was so delicious that my daughter ate most of it For meals, we shared a lobster roll, the steakhouse burger, and Mac and cheese. The lobster roll was good but smelled a bit fishy than what I'm used to. The burger and Mac and cheese were both outstanding. My daughter had some sort of lemon lady finger desert with a candle since it was her bday- which was light on the sugar and delicious. We also had the key lime pie which I want to say is prolly one of the best that I've had! The service was incredible- Anna was our server and she was so sweet and had great suggestions. We had such a great dining experience here, I can't wait to bring friends here for HH sometime soon!

King Cajun is still an awesome spot for most things seafood, we've eaten most things...crawfish boils, sandwiches, platters, gumbos, etc. The inside has enough space and the service is fast enough that eating in is totally doable. They are good at accommodating big parties as well. On this visit my wife got a crawfish boil with shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage and added her favorite flavor sauce - SHABANG!!...it's pretty damn good...I got a shrimp po-boy and a small shrimp gumbo. Everything was just delicious! And I'll add that we love the bibs, gloves, and extra napkins! If you're wanting some New Orleans style boil or just some good seafood King Cajun is worth it.

The ambiance is always dim and upscale and it is a great date night spot We recently tried the meatloaf, which I don't remember ever seeing on the menu before, and it is officially a new favorite. So flavorful, comforting, and definitely something I would order again. Everything else at the table was delicious too. And the White Linen is hands down one of my all-time favorite cocktails -- so light, refreshing, and consistently good. Luke's continues to be one of those places we can count on for a great meal and great service. My only request: PLEASE bring back the rolls! If you know, you know. Those rolls were everything!

We came here one night for a nice dinner. We got a nice dinner. The ambiance is picture perfect,…read morelike a movie scene. Dim lighting, dark wooden tables, just really comfortable. The food was also great. We started off with the Sourdough Flatbread (mushroom, ham, fig, goat cheese), and honestly, this might have been the best flatbread I've ever had in my life. It was a great size, has a hearty crust for good handling, and the toppings are just magnificent in quantity And quality. Just wow. Delicious. For my main, I had the Crab Cakes (citrus beurre blanc, tomato-smoked pepper jam, fries). Again, dynamite dish. Lots of crab in those cakes, a creamy, acidic sauce as a nice foil to the crab, and then a nice little pop of that smoked pepper jam to really make the dish interesting with every bite. So good. I also got to try a nightly special they had, a Lamb Tenderloin. Perfectly medium rare, a nice rice side, just done really well. We finished off with probably the best part of the night, the Skillet Brownie (salted caramel, vanilla soft serve). Insane. Ooey and gooey, warm and chocolatey, with a hint of salty caramel. With that dollop of vanilla ice cream just melting away on top, it was the perfect dessert. What really set back this visit was the service. Our server was just awful, I'm sorry. I'm not saying she was an awful person. She was a lovely person, but restaurant service is probably just not the job for her. I won't go any farther. Overall, the ambiance and the food here are exceptional. I would definitely come back here again.

This place was such a vibe and truly is a marker of how elite Orlando dining is. The interior is…read moresuch a vibe, with light wood paneling everywhere, truly giving off of a almost-seaside, yet classy ambience. When we got there, there were no available tables but they were able to slot us into the schedule and we were able to wait at Noir, the attached speakeasy. The staff is friendly and attentive and Noir had Thai inspired flavored drinks which was fun. Important to note, the drinks menu at Noir is different from the drinks menu at Talay. We almost made the mistake of not ordering at Noir because we were told our table was ready before we decided on drinks. We got the Salmon Choe Nam Pla to start and that was very delicious - the salmon tasted very fresh and the flavor was great. We were very sad when we finished this dish because we wish there was more. We also had the Tod Mun Goong as a starter which is little shrimp cakes and those were fun but not as impressive as some of the other dishes. Then we got the Pla Nueng Ma Now, a Chilean seabass as well as the Goong Ma Kam which is was shrimp with tamarind sauce. Both dishes were very good and had a really nice flavor. I think out of the two, the shrimp was better as the sea bass was a little thick and the flavor didn't soak through all of it. This was such a good meal and I wish I was a little wealthier so I could try more of the menu, there were so many options we were debating between and it was very difficult to narrow it down to three.

I was…read morein the area and this looked like something that would be somewhat good and perhaps a bit healthy (me eating healthy is definitely a shocker though). I ordered the lunch special which was cobia with two sides. I opted for the coconut rice (delicious and a nice portion) and the brown sugar carrots (which were shredded and kinda blechy). The fish itself was good but not great. I'm not the best at cooking fish and this was just a tad better than something I'd make at home, without stinking up the whole house. The atmosphere and service were great with lake views and a friendly attentive staff. I'd go back as it may be a cool place to hang outside once the weather cools off... and not from 96 to 88... we need it a bit more cool out there.

I have a saying: try everything twice, as you never know what may have gone wrong or right, the first time. Consistency is key. This review has been a long time coming, but I can say beyond any doubt Mad Crab Seafood is the place to get your seafood needs sent to heaven! Along with an amazing variety of choices (as long as you get there before they sell out; for good reason!) you can customize things the way you want. A total judgement free zone, they expect you to get messy and provide plenty of ways to clean up. Heat options are there, and the amount of flavor in every bite never fails to amaze. Constantly wanting to please, they adapt their menu and ALWAYS provide premium quality. Family. That's how you will be treated here. Even on my first time visiting, we felt like timeless friends from the start. There is nothing better than eating amazing food while having a smile from ear to ear for the entirety of your stay. I cannot think of any business more deserving of your attention. Once again, thank you Molene & Family for the amazing meals you have provided.
