Saturday night and what better place to have dinner than 60 vines!…read more Showed up around 6pm and sat at the bar. It was a first for us but will probably be our go to from here on out. The bar tenders were super attentive and the specific one who was serving us was on point. He was friendly - very attentive - even let my husband try a small sampling of their hand selected Blantons. My husband got the pork chop for dinner, which is his go to and like always it was perfectly cooked. He very rarely orders pork chops at any other restaurant that we dine at, but he always gets it here that tells you just how good it is. I stuck with my go to which is the creste de Gallo. The flavor in the dish is just so good and the portion size is perfect. Even though it's pasta, I never walk away feeling like I am completely stuffed and can't move - Unlike other pasta dishes I've had at other places.

The bartenders were also amazing--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything, which made the happy hour experience that much better. I had originally planned on doing Magical Dining, so I started with the Albondigas (Spanish meatballs). Unfortunately, they were a major disappointment. The texture was strangely rubbery, they lacked flavor, and they weren't served very hot. After a few bites, I honestly lost my appetite and decided not to continue with the rest of the Magical Dining meal. It's unfortunate because the restaurant itself has a beautiful, lively atmosphere, and the bar experience was excellent. I really wanted to enjoy dinner as much as I enjoyed the drinks and service. Overall, 3/5. I would definitely come back for happy hour, the Espresso Martinis and bartenders alone make that worthwhile but based on the food I tried, I wouldn't rush back for dinner.

I came down to Orlando for a quick getaway with friends and stayed at the Meliá Celebration…read moreOrlando. The Wilson is inside the main building of the hotel. The location was incredibly convenient since most surrounding restaurants are Disney World spots, other dining options were at least 20 minutes away. Without a rental car and Ubering everywhere, being able to just head downstairs for a drink and a bite was a lifesaver. The truffle fries with Parmesan were my favorite. I also ordered the chicken quesadillas were decent, but coming from Houston (where, let's be honest, the food scene is unmatched), it's hard not to compare. They just weren't that buttery, toasted quesadilla I'm used to. The green salsa had an unusual texture, almost like applesauce, which was a little off-putting. The sour cream was fine, and I actually enjoyed the pickled onions as a nice touch. The margaritas were good! They offer several flavor additions like coconut and mango that work as sweeteners, so if you prefer a sweeter margarita I would definitely suggest adding one. Ordering it straight is on the bitter side, so the flavors are a nice way to customize your drink. Overall, the ambience and service were great, and the food is solid. Gratuity is included and my bill was around $60.

I'm giving two stars instead of one, but that's because our waitress Sarah worked so hard. We…read morestayed at Melia Orlando Celebration for two nights, and had dinner at The Wilson both nights. We had Sarah for our waitress both times. The first night, we had their special the miso salmon, and the rigatoni bolognese. We were offered "regular, bottled, or sparkling" water; we chose bottled, and were served warm water from a carafe style bottle with no ice. Rigatoni was tasty, but the miso salmon was burnt on the outside (inside was cooked well), bok choy was VERY salty from the soy marinade but was fine when paired with the pile of plain white rice (that I think was supposed to be a seasoned rice pilaf?). The second night, we again had the special of fettuccini alfredo with shrimp, and the pepperoni pizza with red sauce. We were offered the same for water - "regular, bottled, or sparkling". We chose "regular" this time and were still served the same carafe-style room temperature water without ice. The pizza was just okay and the crust was super chewy and tough, but the alfredo sauce was broken and the dish was a pile of noodles with clumped parmesan swimming in a lake of butter. The waitress did stop by to ask how everything was, but we had literally just been served our food. I did eat the shrimp, which were cooked nicely. I let our waitress know the sauce was broken and said I didn't want it to be remade as I already ate the shrimp. She reported this to the manager who came over and offered us a free dessert for the mistake. This was nice, but he took forever to come back with the dessert menu, and then never returned to see what dessert we might order, but attended another table right next to us several times while we waited. After 15 minutes waiting for him to even order a dessert and attending the next table 3 times, we ended up flagging down the waitress to ask for our check. Our waitress comped the Alfredo meal, which we greatly appreciated. Our waitress Sarah was a rockstar. She was working pretty much the entire restaurant and I actually heard her say to the staff "Is anyone going to help me here?". I saw her fill beers for guests behind the bar instead of waiting on the bartender. I saw her lead guests to a table with menus instead of the hostess. I also saw the manager and other staff just chilling by the kitchen area, making jokes and laughing, and empty tables needing to be cleared the entire time we were there, while we and other tables waited for just a refill of room-temp water. The restaurant was NOT full or super busy on a Friday night, so that says a lot. Also note, it's in very small type, but this restaurant adds 18% gratuity no matter the order or party size. We added an extra tip for Sarah the first night, but not the second, and I wouldn't be surprised if this restaurant splits that gratuity with the cooks and management who don't deserve it. Five stars for Sarah. One star for the rest.

We came for Magical Dining last night and will not be coming back any time soon. It's located right…read morein downtown Celebration and the parking seems limited along the lake though there's also valet. The hotel itself is very pretty and there seemed to be plenty of seating even though we made a reservation. The server warned us service would be on the slower side and they unfortunately ran out of the chicken entree and offered no subsitituon. Most of the food lacked flavor and our server seemed a bit confused at times. When they came to bring our entrees, they had to wait for the server to come and clear our appetizers. Our waters were not refilled and they served cans of soda and there were no free refills. We enjoyed the French onion soup and chocolate dessert but didn't care for anything else.

We decided to try Lakeside on the Magical Dining menu just based on the French onion soup…read more We both ordered the soup to start. Flavor was good, but cheese definitely needed to be a bit more baked. The crouton they used was also too large so it soaked up the broth quite a bit. I still enjoyed this overall due to the flavor. I made the mistake of ordering the garlic chicken. It was just ok. As you can see, the fries were well done. My husband's steak was phenomenal though and the favorite for us both. The desserts were standard and as expected. Other things I wanted to note: Our server was on top of everything. We were auto-grated for a table of two, which we have never been before. A can of soda was $5. Don't think I would recommend this place or come back unfortunately.

The new fall menu at JW Marriott's Grande Lakes Whisper Creek Farm Kitchen really shines…read more Showcasing fresh, locally sourced produce and thoughtfully prepared seasonal dishes, the menu feels both elevated and comforting. The portions are generous, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and there's a wonderful emphasis on the flavors of the season.

The farm-to-table approach, warm atmosphere, and attention to detail make this a standout dining experience at Grande Lakes. Definitely worth a visit this fall!

We arrived around 8:15 p.m. and didn't leave until approximately 10:40 p.m. Despite being there for…read morenearly two and a half hours, our order consisted of two appetizers, an order of Brussel sprouts, two desserts, a bottle of spring water, and two virgin mojitos. For a simple meal for two people, the service was unreasonably slow throughout the evening. Our server, Svet, was polite and personable, but friendliness alone could not make up for the delays. The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol. He immediately noticed something was wrong after taking a sip and handed it to me. I tasted it as well and confirmed that it contained alcohol. Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.

Everything arrived in about 15 minutes and was delivered right to our spot on the balcony. Sometimes the kids' menu is exactly what the adults need.

I started with the calamari, which had almost no flavor. It tasted like the batter wasn't seasoned at all. The aioli sauce that came with it was actually very good and helped, but it couldn't completely save the dish. For my entrée, I ordered the ribeye with smashed potatoes and asparagus. The steak was just okay, I've honestly had better ribeyes at chain restaurants. One side was noticeably burnt while the other side was cooked well. The internal temperature was spot on, so credit where it's due. The smashed potatoes were fine but nothing memorable. As for the asparagus, they never arrived, so I can't comment on them. Overall, this felt like overpriced hotel food. It's convenient if you're staying at the hotel and don't want to leave, or if you're looking to watch a game at the bar or lounge area. Otherwise, I'd recommend exploring other nearby restaurants. There are plenty of better dining options just a short distance from the hotel.

It's a bit confusing because you have to walk past the bar area (with two pool tables) towards the back to find the host stand. While making my reservation, I opted for the semi-private dining room and we had almost the entire area to ourselves and were seated in an oversized comfy booth. Our server was very nice and made great recommendations. The food came out in a timely manner, was well presented, decent portions, and tasted great. We especially loved the Caesar tartare, lamb shank, apple pie, and cookies. The cookies were especially unique and they also added decorative chocolates to both with celebratory messages based on our reservation. No notes, we will be back!

When our server, Millie, learned it'd be 8 separate checks for our table, we received an eye-roll. However, at the conclusion of our meal I completely understood why. She had to carry over a cumbersome number of POS devices for our individual payments. Millie did provide excellent service, though. She was personable and attentive. As majority first-time guests, she gave us a free chips & dip appetizer. Initially candy bacon had run out, but after expressing our disappointment, Ryan the manager, ensured some materialized. We all loved it! The food does take a while because it's made from scratch, as promised. The presentation and taste are top-notch. Everyone was very pleased, each of us impressed with the level of care we experienced and the delicious cuisine.

The food that we ordered was decent, but nothing memorable if I'm going to be honest. The rice in my bowl was mushy , a big NO NO. The blacked chicken was flavorful. The grilled cheese tasted good. My wife however didn't like the tomato soup. It was lacking something in the flavor. Not sure we will be back , if we do we may only order burgers. Cheers

Magical Dining at Delaney's Tavern felt a little like one of those nights in a movie where…read moreeverything is warm, slightly indulgent, and somehow the ravioli becomes a main character. The cocktails were beautiful in that almost-too-pretty-to-drink kind of way, except obviously I drank them. The food was rich, comforting, and the kind of good that makes you briefly stop talking, which for me is saying a lot. And then there was the truffle ravioli. I'm not saying I've thought about it an unreasonable amount since dinner, but I'm also not not saying that. Our server Colin was attentive, knowledgeable, and somehow made the whole evening feel even more special without ever hovering, which is truly an art form in itself. Magical Dining is such a lovely excuse to try some of Orlando's best restaurants while supporting local charities, but Delaney's is one of those places I'd come back to even without the excuse. Preferably with another plate of ravioli. And maybe another cocktail. For research purposes, obviously.

The service was stellar from start to finish, and the food was amazing. The Moroccan Spiced Lamb Chops were easily the highlight and honestly some of the best lamb chops I've had. They were perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. The Coal-Roasted Carrots were also cooked perfectly and were such a great side. The Sticky Edamame was great, but the Whipped Ricotta Crostini with Sicilian pistachio butter was AMAZING. The fluffy, creamy ricotta paired with the pistachio was such a good combination and definitely something I would order again. We finished with the Mixed Berry Cheesecake, which was delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. I'm really glad I decided to give Chroma another try because this experience completely changed my impression. Between the stellar service, amazing food, and atmosphere, this was easily a 5/5 visit. I'll absolutely be back, especially for those lamb chops and the whipped ricotta crostini!
