A special shout-out to our server, Diego! He was on point all evening--professional, sweet, and attentive, checking in on us throughout our meal without being intrusive. The ambiance is perfect. I especially appreciate that you can actually enjoy a conversation without having to talk over the people at the tables around you. For appetizers, we had the Caesar salad and dynamite shrimp. Our entrées were the salmon and steak frites, and for dessert, we had the chocolate cake and caramel lava cake. Everything was delicious, and by the time we finished dessert, we were pleasantly stuffed! Another wonderful experience at The Hampton Social. We'll definitely be back!

We did end up waiting at the table for 20-25 mins before anyone came to us. Unfortunately, we also waited about 20 mins for our cocktails as well. Apps: Caesar Salad - The freshly shaved parmesan was the best thing paired with a creamy caesar and fresh lettuce. This was a close 1st place caesar salad on my list. Santa Fe Salad - Loved that there was a whole avocado included with the salad. It really broke up some of the bold/intense flavors that come from a southwest salad. Entrees: Honey Glazed Norwegian Salmon - Presentation was great and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The bed of carrots were tasty and paired nicely with the salmon. Steak Frites - The fries were FANTASTIC. I couldn't stop eating them. The steak was cooked medium well so it was tender, juicy, and flavorful. Dessert: Caramel Lava Cake - Hard outside but warm gooey inside. Paired with ice cream and caramel oh so good!! Doughnut Drops - I NEED THESE EVERY TIME I GO HERE. Wow, thanks to magical dining I ended up trying these and WOW WOW WOW. Thin crunchy outside and a pillow soft inside. Came with a chocolate dipping sauce and ice cream. PLEASE get this!! Overall I give it a 4/5. Food is excellent, Service was friendly and helpful but the wait times are unfortunate. Ambiance is great and lively but can get a little loud.

It was bagged nicely and well organized. The omelette was a generous sized portion with plenty of tender chicken, peppers, and cheese. There was salsa to add a bit of flavor, but it tasted that it was made in New York City (if you remember that commercial ;) ). The white toast was soft and buttery, and the potatoes were good. My mom enjoyed the banana pecan waffles, and I took a couple bites as well. It was sinfully sweet and enjoyable, especially the bananas. And I must say the coffee was so good, it was even better than the Juan Valdez coffee that I make at home. Since I didn't visit the restaurant, I can't comment on the atmosphere. But I believe the service is excellent because they nicely packed all items and kept it organized. I definitely need to take my family to this restaurant. Since the one in Metrowest closed, this is the closest one to us. I am glad the food is still excellent and the coffee keeps you peppy.

The Diner is a popular breakfast, brunch, and lunch restaurant near Universal Studios. It is known…read morefor its New York style comfort food and creative breakfast and brunch dishes. It is a family owned restaurant founded by New York natives who noticed a gap in Central Florida for high quality, authentic New York style diner food. The original location opened on Universal Boulevard in the Lake Cay area, near Universal Orlando and SeaWorld. The restaurant quickly became popular with both locals and vacationers looking for an alternative to the standard hotel breakfast buffet. Following the success of the Universal Boulevard location, the owners expanded to additional Central Florida locations, including Lake Buena Vista and Dr. Phillips. The Diner has gained attention for its creative twists on classic comfort food. One of its signature dishes is the Bennyffle a combination of Eggs Benedict served over a waffle. The menu also features specialty cereal pancakes, including Fruity Pebbles and Oreo Crunch, along with classics such as chicken and waffles. In July 2026, the Universal Boulevard location even became the center of a viral national news story after a family of seven including children reportedly walked out on a $298.47 breakfast bill. The story highlighted how hard family businesses work and how an incident like this can affect them. I recently met up with a group of friends at The Diner for brunch. The Diner can get crowded, and they do not take reservations. I am grateful that one of my friends arrived very early to wait for a table for our group. The diner offers a selection of coffee drinks as well as alcoholic beverages, making it a festive spot for brunch. Since I had a long day ahead, I stuck with coffee and ordered the signature chicken and waffles. The combination was delicious. The crispy, savory fried chicken was the perfect partner to the soft, buttery waffles, while the warm, sweet maple syrup contrasted to the salty chicken. It was a very large portion and I really enjoyed my meal. The service was excellent, and the staff were very accommodating when we needed several separate checks. I loved my visit to The Diner, and the experience was made even better by sharing brunch with a great group of friends. Good food, friendly service, and even better company made for a memorable morning.

After searching yelp for a breakfast/lunch place, The Diner seemed to hit the mark. They do not take reservations and your entire party must be present when your table is ready. I arrived early and put my name on the list so by the time everyone arrived, our table was ready! Heather was our server and she was amazing. She made our experience here easy & stress free. The 6 of us were able to chat, catch up, eat and drink in a timely manner. We were not rushed which is always a plus. I ordered the Belgium waffle with a scrambled egg & an ice mocha latte. Perfect amount of food for me. Ariel ordered the fried chicken and waffles which was huge. A few ordered the chicken Caesar wrap which looked very good. I would definitely go back the next time i am in town. *Prices are moderate *Plenty of parking in the lot ~ and that's all I have to say about that...

The atmosphere definitely makes the experience. There was live music while we were there, and I loved that they also have artwork throughout the restaurant that you can actually purchase. It gives the space so much personality and makes it feel different from your typical restaurant. Service was decent. It was pretty busy, so our server only checked on us a few times, but overall we still had a good experience. I'd definitely recommend Café Tu Tu Tango for a cute date night or as a fun pregame spot to grab food and drinks before going out!

I also tried the champagne sangria which was not my favorite , it was so bitter so that was a 2/10. Food was typical American bar food ( onion rings, loaded fries, wings, burgers etc ) and was ok but I'd definitely come back for the boozy milkshakes and boozy popsicles! This spot is good for all ages and they are known for their Willy wonka style milkshakes that can be drank by 2 people easily. Price was $$ and it's a nice size so if you have a large party, just book a reservation in advance. I have it booked for a back to school ice cream party for my little one and her friends and I booked it through OpenTable .

We were greeted with a beautiful smile and escorted to a private area. The area was elegantly separated from the main dining area with ceiling to floor velvet drapes. The space felt intimate and beautifully prepared for such a large party. Each guest rcvd 2 drink tickets. Each place setting contained prix fixe menu, a glass of water and chilled water in glass bottles for convent refills. Service was top notch. Drink selections were taken immediately after taking a seat. I ordered House Made Lemonade that was perfectly prepared...not too sweet or tart. Once the majority of the guests arrived, each table was served multiple portions of PANE AL FORMAGGIO V & SALUMI & FORMAGGI BOARDS. Both starters were freshly prepared and delicious. Our entree orders were taken as we continued networking & enjoying the starters, followed by a Caesar Salad. For my entree, I chose the CHARGRILLED BRANZINO GF and it exceeded my expectation. The headless whole fish stuff with fresh garlic & capers was served over a large portion of broccolini. The taste was amazing and the portion was generous. I was only able to finish a quarter of my entree but there was no way I was leaving anything behind. Several guests felt the same and also requested to go containers. Hubby and I passed on Tiramisu. We had no room left. Overall this was an amazing dining experience. I applaud the staff for the excellent service they delivered. I hope to visit the next time we're in Orlando.

It was conveniently located nearby and turned out to be a wonderful breakfast stop. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and relaxing, which was exactly what we needed in the morning. The staff gave us such a warm welcome and were very patient while we took our time looking through the menu and deciding what to order. For drinks, we ordered the 3 Mocha, a cappuccino, and a matcha latte, and everything tasted great. The mocha in particular was excellent, it had such a rich, naturally delicious flavor that it honestly didn't need any additional sweetness. For breakfast, we ordered the Breakfast Club, Avocado & Egg Salad Sandwich, and Mushroom Avocado & Vegan Sausage Breakfast Burrito. Everything was delicious, and the portions were excellent and very satisfying. There was a great variety of flavors across the dishes, and everyone at the table found something they really enjoyed. Overall, Moma's Cafe was a great breakfast experience from start to finish. Between the cozy atmosphere, welcoming staff, delicious drinks, and generous portions, it's definitely a place we would happily return to the next time we're in the area.

The restaurant looked like it was only at half capacity (seating). The cashier was polite/friendly. It's sad to see a restaurant turn away customers. There were at least 8 parties that came and left because they didn't want to wait. I guess for a business that's a good problem to have. ‍ Giving three stars because the ambiance was nice, cashier seemed friendly, menu had a nice selection for brunch, speciality drinks/coffee. Next time I'm in town and try the food I can give additional two stars if the food is worth it.

I believe it may have been the Havana Ballroom. There was plenty of food, drinks, and mingling. The Cuba Libre Restaurant staff were great, and the venue was well laid out and worked for this event very well. When we arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening for our event, we first mingled around the tables and near the cash bar. There were a bunch of large tables that we began to fill out. As our program began and announces made and awards given out, appetizers were passed out. We were offered Guacamole Cubano, Mama Amelia's Empanadas, and Shrimp Cocktail which we passed around to the entire table. Personally, I skipped the guacamole and shrimp dishes but absolutely loved the empanadas. Yum! Then, an individual Cuban House Salad was passed out with red wine vinaigrette. This was also quite tasty. Next came the entrees including a choice of Salmon Paradiso, Ropa Vieja, Citrus Chicken, or Paella Vegetariana. I was trying to decide between the Ropa Vieja (beef brisket) and the Citrus Chicken. While the Citrus Chicken sounded perfect, I asked the serving staff their advice, and they recommended the Ropa Vieja for a true taste of Cuba. I was happy that I did even though it may have been more heavy and with a kick than I was expecting. I'm still glad I ordered it though. It was wonderfully prepared! And then, everyone received Cuban Flan for dessert. The Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar celebrates Cuban heritage and explores Cuban flavors, music, art, and traditions. The mission of the restaurant is to provide an "escape" to Havana through exciting food and beverages and entertainment experiences to celebrate the Cuban people and their culture. Orlando hosts one of several of this restaurant around the United States. This restaurant is in the midst of the Pointe Orlando. You can find details on their website: https://cubalibrerestaurant.com/en/orlando. You can find menus, entertainment, blogs, make reservations, specials, and more.

However, happy we came early because the dinner lasted 2 1/2 hours. Sometimes you don't want to be rushed, and in that case, you have to come here because they will take it very slow. For me it worked up because they started off with complementary Cuban bread and sweet butter, which was so delicious that I was instantly full so I was happy. The food didn't come out very fast besides the magical dining menus. We also ordered the croquetas appetizer. It was presented nicely in a little basket with two sauces. The order had six pieces: three ham and three chicken. They were nice and crispy. However, the filling of both was bland. It was so bland, We couldn't at first even tell, which was which. For an appetizer, I had the shrimp and my friend had the black bean soup. The shrimp are really good and came with a slice of French baguette. The black bean soup was like a side of black beans and really delicious but definitely not a soup. As I mean, I got the vegetarian paella, which was pretty good and my friend had the chicken with mashed potatoes and broccolini, which was also good. The big hit was the dessert. I had the flan which came with a delicious cookie, whipped cream and a dulce de Leche sauce. The mini churros were also really good with a filling and a chocolate sauce. It is not cheap normally so magical dining is a good reason to come here. I also picked this place thinking on a Saturday night there would be entertainment however, there was none of that. We also because of that opted to sit outside because inside it is freezing cold. It was not a bad experience. It was a pleasant evening, but the food has definitely room for improvement. The service was great. Our server was very friendly and did her very best.

When we arrived around 7 PM on a weekday for our event, we first grabbed some tables and chairs, went up and ordered some drinks from the bar, and enjoyed some music until our hosts opened the buffet lines to the food including salads, appetizers, sides, and entrees. Some of our group sat on their nice, scenic patios while others were right in the heart of the restaurant near the music and bar. The food was great, and the service moved as quickly as they could with a large group gathered at the bar. There was never a lineup at the restrooms, and other than walking around the bar, it was easy to get around the restaurant during the event. The Palm Tree Club is considered to be an "elevated tropic escape in the heart of Orlando" where you can indulge in fresh flavors, vibrant cocktails, and a chic coastal atmosphere.
