Best Restaurants for Foodies in Downtown Orlando

Another incredible night at AVA! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy. The cocktails were expertly crafted and delicious, the perfect start to our meal. But the real star of the show was the salt-crusted branzino – it was cooked to perfection and absolutely divine. And a huge shoutout to our server, Arian, who was attentive, friendly, and made our evening truly special. AVA continues to impress, and we can't wait to go back!

We had a wonderful evening at this restaurant during our Valentine's Day celebration. Our reservation was for 7 PM, and we were seated promptly and professionally. The goat cheese appetizer, along with the duck and brownie lava cake, received a perfect 10/10. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere on the top deck, and the cocktails were exceptionally well made. Overall, our experience was delightful, as we felt that the service, food, and ambience were all excellent. We definitely plan to return soon to try more menu items. I highly recommend this location; it offers great value for the experience.

Thank You to the hotel and restaurant staff for making this event a very memorable one for my wife and I. Everyone we came in contact with are some of the best service experience for us. We look forward to telling our friends and family as well as be back soon. Thank You!

We got the lobster bisque and truffle fries to start. I LOVED the lobster bisque so much! We had never had fries cooked in truffle oil before so the flavor was weird, but they were yummy and crunchy. The bread was hot and fluffy! My boyfriend had the Elk filet, and he loved it! He said it was delicious and tender, and the mushrooms he added to it were juicy and flavorful. I has the filet wellington, and it came with parmesan mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was everything I dreamed it would be when I searched the menu and picked it before we even arrived. The pastry was super light and flaky and the filet just melted through with each cut. It comes with a sauce that they pour over it for you. Everything on my plate was high class and definitely worth it. The only thing I can say is that parking was hard to find, but that was because there was an event happening up the road, and the roads were blocked. Also, this wasn't a big deal for us, but the regular filets like a sirloin, ribeye, filet mignon or the elk filet do not come with sides. Just a heads up about that. Great place though! Highly recommend for a small celebration or girls nights.

Great experience at Z’Asian. We were there for pre concert dinner, not yet busy. Our meals were excellent, innovative takes on Vietnamese classics.
