Restaurants near The Venue at UCF

The lite salmon entree was cooked perfectly. The chicken Madeira was tasty. Our server Virginia offered us wine taste. We have been several times and never offered that before. We have purchased the Blanc de Blanc and always enjoyed it. However this time having sampled different sparkling styles enticed us to purchase a couple of bottles to take home.

Had a wonderful time. Received a long stem rose and a glass of bubbly upon arrival. Food was wonderful. I did have to send my steak back as it was overcooked. Server was very understanding and brought my lobster to enjoy while waiting for the new steak. When they new steak arrived the manager came over to check that it was done to my liking. I really appreciated that there were lots of gluten free options.

We had a wonderful experience overall for an early Valentine’s dinner before an event. The casual yet elevated atmosphere was perfect for our group and everyone enjoyed the appetizers and entrees. Kiah, our server, was one of the best I’ve ever had - I’m a frequent diner in many different types of food establishments and she was exceptional.

Food was good, happy hour always good to catch whenever possible. Was held up in traffic but called ahead. Was surprised app didn’t recognize our arrival even as we’re coming through doors at the time reservation gets canceled, and it did. Would’ve been nice if the app communicated with the restaurant better tour arrival so you don’t lose your table even during arrival within the grace period. Thankfully it wasn’t busy and Ava the lady we spoke with remember us calling and added us back in for our canceled reservation, so all was good again. On the soup we skipped, it just doesn’t seem the same anymore to have to pay for he shrimp to be added back in when that was a staple for so many years, and then changed, during the time of the start of the pandemic. We’ll probably order again, but eeh for now on that. Overall it was a nice pre-Valentine’s dinner treat. They best value of course was the drink specials, but that’s likely due to always ordering the same menu item when, I ought to change it up more, and feel like my socks are knocked off.

Made a last minute reservation for a large group and they were able to accommodate us. Our table was ready upon arrival and everyone had a great time! There was music playing and waters and chips ready for us. Will come back!
