Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails is Mills area’s newest dining and nightlife concept. Playfully yet eloquently named, Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails got its inspiration from the idea to ‘hangout and throw some shade in conversation’ while paying homage to the history of its building, previously The Lamp Shade Fair, well-known by locals for over 50 years. The Asian-influenced tapas style menu showcases seasonal and local provisions of the Orlando community in innovative dishes that Executive Chef for Thriving Hospitality, Ryan Stewart, has meticulously developed.Lamp & Shade's comprehensive beverage program features riffs on tiki classics tying back to the influential Asian roots of cocktails, pairing nicely with Chef’s selection of Asian inspired faire.

Loved Sushi Saint omakase experience! Miele and Chef Paik created comfortable and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy delicious Nigiris, a rare instance in the omakase world. I try omakase all around the world, and would rate this place the best for the price. Please keep it affordable and casual. The experience was delightful!

The food was great. Loved the ambiance and thought the noise was going to be a bit loud initially but was pleasantly surprised we didn’t have to raise our voices to talk across the table. We had the noodles, the Ceaser salad bites, short ribs, and mussels. Every dish was actually very good, but the Ceaser salad bites were our fav top two.
