    At the door , the portico is packed with car , valet service is not moving fast enough to accommodate coming passengers, I’m guessing is team member issue or other. The food choices at Sky bar are excellent and tasty for celebrating a Valentine’s Day , specialty drinks are not included on the pre-fixe menu valentine’s special. The only thing is noise background music level is to loud , music selection theme is not romantic music, so other than that I ll give it a 4.75 stars , Thank you for an amazing experience with Kaylani my service was great.

    Turci is truly the best spot in all of Central Florida! One of the best parts about Turci is their consistency. No matter if you are the only few in the restaurant or it’s fully packed, every dish comes out the way you’d hope and the level of service is always incredible. Not to mention the food is just amazing!
