salmon w crunchy salmon skin on top, potatoes on the bottom
Karolina V.

The service was incredible and I am very thankful this establishment hosted such a great experience! The food was amazing--from the burrata, to the poked salmon, and their charcuterie board. I wish I remembered the name of the server that kept serving me wine- you're amazing!! (Btw the bathrooms there are decorated really cool)

I first visited The H back in 2021 and had been wanting to return ever since. Fast forward to 2026 and I finally made it back for a late dinner with a 10:30 reservation. The restaurant has been recently renovated and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Great seating, beautiful atmosphere and we started the night on a high note with Brazilian lemonades and caipirinhas that were delicious. The snow crab claw appetizer was a nice touch too. Here is where things took a turn. For dinner we ordered the Branzino, the Château filet mignon and the fettuccine Alfredo pappardelle. Both the filet and the pasta were made tableside which sounds exciting but the execution left a lot to be desired. For a $160 Château filet the tableside experience felt underwhelming and the flavor did not match the price or the presentation. The pasta was $50 and had barely any flavor. The Branzino at $70 came with no sauce and nothing to elevate it. For an almost $500 bill the food was honestly mediocre and that is a hard pill to swallow. To add to it the service got a bit lost once the venue transitioned into club mode after 11pm and someone else had to take over our table. We still had a good time and the vibe is undeniably fun but when the food and the check don't align it is hard to justify coming back. Probably won't be returning for dinner but it could be a fun spot just for drinks. Maybe.

Charcuterie board
Brian F.

The H is a great special occasion restaurant. The decor is beautiful and the service excellent. I had the short rib which was very tender and flavorful. Others at our table had different variations of steak and all were very satisfied. We also had a charcuterie board which had a nice variety of meat, cheese, fruit and flat bread. This is definitely a venue worth trying!

The H Orlando exceeded all of my expectations--from the food and service to the overall experience. I traveled from Tampa to celebrate my 45th birthday with my closest friends during our girls' weekend getaway, and the staff made the celebration feel truly special. When we arrived, they surprised me with a thoughtful birthday card, which was such a sweet gesture and made my day even more memorable. The appetizers were delicious, and my boneless rib-eye with asparagus and whipped mashed potatoes was absolutely mouthwatering. The whipped mashed potatoes were my favorite--I couldn't get enough of them! They tasted just like my homemade mashed potatoes, which made the meal even more comforting. Our waiter was attentive throughout the entire evening, and the manager was equally welcoming, even taking photos for our group so we could capture the memories. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The H Orlando has officially become one of my favorite steakhouses, and I will definitely be back. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for amazing food, outstanding service, and a memorable dining experience.

Place for the occasion What friend and I stopped by here for drinks and chats. Oh and also some appetizers. The drinks were nicely decorated. There was bread as a complimentary which were ok. Also got the zucchini fries which I thought wasn't as good. Somehow it was a bit more oily but I think it is just the zucchini being soft. The Fennel salad was refreshing, a great snack food. Environment This was located in a plaza on the end. There is valet parking and plenty of parking available since it was an end unit. There is outdoor seating, semi-outdoor and indoor. There is also bar seating. It was very nicely decorated and is quite the restaurant for the occasion or any fancy celebration you have. Niceness of the staff I sat at the bar, the staff was nice and attentive. I didn't have any other particular interactions. Dollar It was quite the dollar I'd say. Very expensive to that but good for a celebration. Yes Indifferent.

Started off with bread and a yummy dipping oil

My friend and I came here for Magical Dining and their $60 menu. Service was great, and our waitress was extremely friendly and offered great recommendations. Apparently their wine list recently changed, so every wine I asked for was no longer offered, which was a bit frustrating. I thought their actual selection of wines by the glass could have been better. For our appetizer, we chose burrata and charred carrots. I thought the charred carrots were interesting and tasty, but not a very large portion, especially compared to the burrata (which was absolutely delicious!) The stat of the show was the entree. We both ordered the short ribs. Absolutely some of the best shorts I've ever had! They were served on top of these creamy and delectable purple grits. It was just all in all an amazing combination and flavor profile. I am craving more even as I write this. For dessert, we also both chose baklava. It was pistachio baklava instead of the traditional walnut. According to the restaurant, it's imported straight from Turkey. I was most disappointed with this dessert. There was a weird flavor from the pistachio, and I think the phyllo wasn't as flaky as I was expecting. I had much higher expectations for this. I was shocked when the bill came. They automatically add a 20% service charge. And then you are supposed to tip on top of that. It would have been nice to be made aware that this service charge existed before being presented a bill that was twice as much as I expected to pay. Overall, the experience was nice but I probably would not be back because I do not believe that that it was worth the price we paid.

Platter of heaven. Incredible.

We had such a pleasant visit to celebrate my birthday. I haven't dined here in over 4 years & I finally was able to change that. It was BETTER than what I had remembered! Ash took excellent care of us, she was very attentive, kind & hospitable. The team worked as a well oiled machine to reset our table consistently & make sure our waters were filled. We were very pleased with our stay. The MOD/Owner also checked up on our meal & was kind. This is easily my favorite steak that I've ever had! I can't wait to come back for more celebrations. Kindly, Mikey Conlon

The Menu

One of the best Happy Hours in Orlando from 4-6:30pm DAILY at the bar and outdoor patio. The drinks, and the food were both what you'd expect from a high end steakhouse. The people that come here really dress up in dresses, high heels, and fancy outfits. Kind of weird considering the restaurant is in a strip mall. The happy hour food menu ranges from $9-$18. The wine is $8. The cocktails are $10. And the beer is $5. I decided I was going to try a bunch of items. Up first, $10 espresso martini. Standard, and above average. Second, the $10 Caesar salad. Perfect, I really really liked it. 9.5/10. Third, $10 burrata. It was alright, a little small, probably the worst of all of the items that I tried. Up 4th, the $13 wagyu beef sliders. Super duper delicious. Up 5th, $18 Lokum. Excellent and I really enjoyed the peppers that come with it. Up 6th, the $10 smoked old fashioned. Perfect 10/10, one giant ice cube and flavor on point. Up 7th, $9 cauliflower cacio e pepe. Kind of weird, but actually very good. Not at all what I was expecting. And my 8th item was the $10 porn star martini. This thing was actually really good. I'd certainly get it again. Totally worth checking out during happy hour. I'd like to try more food and drink items next time. The reason I took off a star is because of the AUTOMATIC 20% tip bar service charge Friday-Saturday.

The venue topped off the celebration with cake and champagne, the perfect ending

Celebrated my birthday here and overall had a great experience. This is a Mediterranean-inspired steakhouse in the Dr. Phillips area with an upscale feel and a lively atmosphere that leans into a nightlife vibe. We ordered the wood-fired octopus, tomahawk steak, pappardelle tossed fresh in the cheese wheel, and an Old Fashioned for me . The presentation was beautiful across the board. The tomahawk was definitely the highlight, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The octopus was good, and the pappardelle was a fun experience with the tableside cheese wheel preparation. The service was excellent, attentive, friendly, and made the experience feel special, especially for a birthday. The ambiance is what really stands out. It's a great spot if you're looking for something a little more energetic than a traditional fine dining experience. Overall, a great place for a special occasion or a night out.

Grilled king crab lol
Queen P.

Lovely modern decor, that's where the compliments stop. Overly priced and pretentious for just okay food. $29 for half a grilled king crab leg that was plated on top of rocks. Please be for real. Service was slow, inattentive and unfriendly. If you want to go to a pretentious Instagram restaurant with mid food this is your place

This was my first time visiting since the renovation. The renovation, although not needed, was done I suspect to make the restaurant even more instagram worthy. It's gorgeous. The food and drinks are not too far behind. I had the Caesar Salad starter and it might have been the best thing I had. It's probably the best Caesar I have ever had. Full of flavor and there right amount of anchovy taste to set it apart without being overpowering. For my main I had the Ribeye with Truffle Fries and Creamed Spinach. My ribeye was a tad over the medium temp I ordered but my dining companion's was cooked to a perfect medium. The flavor was definitely there and I love they offer flaked salt. The truffle fries were to die for but the creamed spinach lacked flavor. I would have preferred they offered sautéed spinach. The Raspberry Sorbet was very nice. Drinks were very good as well. I started with the Purple Jade and then had the best Smoked Old Fashioned I have ever had, and I have had many. My Pinot Noir however was not good as it had turned. They were kind enough to remove it from my bill without hesitation. Our server Ismail was attentive without being overbearing and everyone on the staff assisting him was spot on as well. Will be back soon. I also appreciate that they were open for lunch on the weekend.

Baklava, delicious!
Bruno F.

This was one of the best culinary experiences I've had in Orlando, but sadly it was overshadowed by the worst service I've ever received at a fine dining restaurant. The good: The ambiance is warm, inviting, and elegant, with beautiful décor and great music. I was there with my parents (who I hadn't seen in a long time) and my fiancé, who had raved about this place. The food exceeded expectations: we started with steak tartare and pastrami, both exploding with flavor and crafted with true artistry. For mains, I had the short rib, my dad and fiancé had the pappardelle (served tableside), and my mother ordered the filet with broccolini. Every dish was perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Dessert was baklava, a heavenly finish. Drinks were also excellent. Truly, the food and overall environment deserve nothing but praise. The bad: Unfortunately, our server, Kseniia, completely ruined the experience. Every other staff member--including the manager, assistant manager, food runner, tableside chef, and other servers--were smiling, professional, and kind. She, however, greeted us without a smile, spoke so quietly we constantly had to ask her to repeat herself, and made every interaction awkward and uncomfortable. She seemed uninterested in being there, interrupting conversations to refill already-full glasses and even bringing extra bottles of sparkling and still water without asking--adding unnecessary charges to our bill. She often made us feel rushed, standing silently over us until we ordered, offering no recommendations or specials, and giving the impression that we were inconveniencing her. At times, she looked at me with open disdain. My father, who is very warm and charismatic, even tried to lighten the mood, but she remained cold and dismissive. The final straw came when she dropped the check on the table without a word, then returned a few minutes later, opened it in front of us, and fumbled through it as if impatient for us to pay and leave--something I'd expect at a casual chain restaurant, not a fine dining establishment. She didn't even thank us at the end; another server had to close out the bill, and his friendliness in those brief moments was better than her service the entire night. We spent over $500 and left feeling disrespected and upset, despite the outstanding food. It was embarrassing to watch my parents--who traveled far and deserved a special evening--be treated this way. I rarely write reviews, but this bothered me enough to lose sleep over. Final thoughts: The food, drinks, and ambiance are absolutely worth coming back for, but the service we received from this particular server was unacceptable. She needs serious retraining, as her demeanor would be questionable even in a casual setting, let alone fine dining. To make matters worse, gratuity was included--likely explaining why she made no effort, since the tip was guaranteed. I would absolutely return to this restaurant for the food and experience, but I would go out of my way to ensure I'm not seated in her section again

Is the meat served halal?

Unfortunately it’s not Helal…

What is a side show? They only have high tops available and it says no side shows.

I am not sure, but a lot of their menu selections are made tableside. So, I would imagine if you sit in the high top area, there is not enough room for the carts they need to do the tableside entertainment. I would call to double check, but this… 

Are kids allowed?

Yes but check with private events

My boyfriend made an online reservation with no issues, and getting seated was easy. Overall, I'd give the food about a 3 out of 5. Nothing was bad, but it felt more like an upscale chain restaurant experience than a standout seafood destination. Around the table we had everything from lobster mac and cheese to oysters and steak, and the consensus was that the food was decent, just not particularly memorable. I'm allergic to dairy so that definitely impacted my ordering abilities. I ordered two appetizers as my meal: the calamari and the pork belly. The calamari was a bit too fishy for my taste, so I found myself mostly picking at it. The pork belly, however, was very good and easily the highlight of my meal. Where Big Fin truly shines is customer service. We had several picky-eater teens in our group, plenty of special requests, and a lot of moving parts. Our server, I believe his name was Nathan, handled everything with patience, and a great attitude throughout the evening. The hostess was equally impressive. We arrived before the rest of our party and had the opportunity to watch her expertly navigate a few situations with what appeared to be some challenging guests. She remained gracious, calm, and welcoming the entire time. John, the manager, also stopped by our table and was wonderful. It's clear that hospitality is a priority here, and every staff member we encountered made us feel genuinely welcome. While the food won't have me rushing back, the exceptional service certainly left a positive impression.

We also had the Ocean roll, which was premium sushi that included tuna, salmon, hamachi, Chili Garlic Oil and avocado. Simply amazing! I had tuna with a delectable sauce as my main dish. I opted for a tree nut free version, and my server was diligent in making sure that I received as requested. The tuna was rare and perfectly prepared. I drink of choice with the espresso martini with bourbon. I was torn between that and the old-fashioned, but had not had great experience with old-fashioned living up to my standards. I was extremely pleased with the espresso martini, as it was perfectly made with my selection of Woodford reserve. The star of the evening was the Berries & Bubbles!

The bread arrived warm with a nice variety of wheat, white, and thin crispy breadsticks, which was the perfect tide-over while we waited for our entrées. Our table ordered a mix of steak, lobster rolls, and several sides including mac and cheese, scalloped potatoes, broccolini, and Brussels sprouts. I chose the miso cod with shrimp dumplings, and it was absolutely delightful. The broth was poured tableside, which gave the dish a little extra presentation and anticipation -- and thankfully, the flavor lived up to the hype. Everyone at the table commented on how good their meals were, and the entire experience felt well-paced, elevated, and enjoyable from start to finish. Even splitting the bill among our group was seamless, which is always appreciated when dining with colleagues. Great food, great atmosphere, and a wonderful way to close out a long day. Ocean Prime was definitely a win.

The pork itself didn't have too much flavor and heavily relied on its sauces. However, it was a bean sauce which I didn't love. It was way too strong of a bean taste and didn't sit well on the palate. Finally, I had the molten chocolate cake. It was absolutely delicious. The molten chocolate had a good texture and was properly paired with gelato. Even though I didn't love the pork, other main course items looked incredible that I want to try. If you want a nicer experience for dinner, this is a place I would highly recommend. I'll definitely be coming back.

From the ambiance to the execution of every course, the entire evening was an unforgettable experience. We started with appetizers, and they set the bar high right out of the gate. The lobster bisque was rich, velvety, and packed with deep flavor, while the fresh oysters were completely on point--briny, clean, and impeccably served. For the main course, the seared sea scallops were pure perfection. They had a gorgeous golden crust on the outside while remaining tender, sweet, and juicy on the inside. Alongside the scallops, the lobster mashed potatoes were excellent--luxuriously creamy, buttery, and loaded with tender chunks of lobster. Pairing everything with an exceptional bottle from their curated wine list elevated the meal to another level.

Eddie V's delivers on every front--outstanding culinary execution, thoughtful pacing, and an upscale vibe that makes any celebration feel genuinely special.

We had a 7:30 PM reservation for a party of six to celebrate a birthday, but we were not seated…read moreuntil 8:35 PM -- more than an hour after our reservation time. We were told we had to wait for the previous party to leave before we could be seated. Even after they had paid, they remained at the table for approximately another hour. When we questioned the hostess Bianka about the situation, we were told that the restaurant would not interrupt another party's dining experience. While I understand the importance of providing guests with a pleasant experience, what about respecting the reservations and time of the guests waiting to be seated? After this frustrating wait, the manager, Justin, approached us, an hour into our dinner, and asked if there was anything he could do. By that point, the damage had already been done. We had lost over an hour of our evening, and this was a birthday celebration that should have been enjoyable from the start. Rather than simply asking what he could do, a manager at a high-end restaurant should take the initiative to acknowledge the inconvenience and offer a meaningful gesture, whether that be a complimentary dessert, a drink, or something to make up for the poor experience. We were offered nothing. The service was also disappointing from the moment we arrived. We brought a birthday cake, yet not one of the 4 hostesses offered to store it in the refrigerator while we waited. For a restaurant that positions itself as a high-end establishment, this lack of attention to basic hospitality was surprising. Additionally, while we were waiting, we observed a gentleman handing cash to the hostess. We have no way of knowing what that exchange was for, and I do not want to make assumptions. However, given the circumstances and the excessive wait, it certainly raised questions about how tables were being managed. The entire experience felt unprofessional and disrespectful of our time. Celebrating a birthday should be a special occasion, not an evening spent waiting for a table despite having a reservation and then feeling that our concerns were brushed aside. A reservation should mean something. For a restaurant charging high-end prices, I expected far better organization, courtesy, and customer service. Unfortunately, this experience fell well below those expectations. Reservations mean nothing to EDDIE V's.

We did have to wait for just a minute because they were at changeover for servers and many of the night servers were just coming on.. We started with the lump crab hush puppies. They come as an order of four and they literally just kind of pop in your mouth. They are so good. We would definitely come back just to have those. My husband got the Cajun steak, but he got everything that comes on the steak on the side, including the seasoning. He wasn't sure how spicy the seasoning was or what the sauce was and he likes to be able to control that himself. Steak was good. He did have a little bit of the season and said next time he definitely order it with the seasoning on as the seasoning wasn't that spicy. He also got a side of the au gratin potatoes and the collard greens. The collards were not the best. They definitely need some more flavor. He added hot sauce to it and it helped it but they definitely need some additional seasoning. The potatoes were good although as you got to the bottom, they definitely were not cooked all the way through. They could've been cooked a little bit longer. I got the chicken and waffle - it comes with four pieces of chicken and a half waffle. The waffle is really delicious. It's got a little crunch on the outside but a little sweetness in it and the chicken was absolutely amazing. I would definitely get the fried chicken again there is a reason they are famous for it. Our server, Ariana was incredibly sweet and very attentive to us throughout the night. Great service like that would also have us come back to this location again in the future.
