Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Avalon Park

Wait time was very short thanks to having a reservation but people without reservation didn’t wait long either. The booth was nice and spacious, lighting was perfectly dim but was still able to read menu & eat. Our server was amazing and everything me & my husband ordered (which was a lot) was absolutely delicious. My husband is the worst critic and he even thought the food was amazing. Baby blue cosmo was great, I would had 3 but I was saving room for dessert lol would definitely go back, maybe even bring the kids since it was very family friendly.

Good variety of food, excellent drinks and service. Server was very attentive.

Might have been an off day. Normally, the Columbian is full of flavor, but this time, our coctails were not made well. The Old Fashioned was put in the proper glass but served with ice cubes, like iced tea. The ratio was off as well. My Boliche was dry & the chorizo had no flavor. The garbanzo bean soup was warm, and the beans were still firm. My husband had the snapper. It was over seasoned. Too much of everything. We have never visited the Celebration location before. We'll stick to Tampa. On the plus side. Our server was fantastic, attentive & quick. The restaurant is beautiful, and the parking is awful. Heads up if it's busy.

We had a bit of a wait after our reservation time but overall the experience was great! It was fun listening to the band and watching the tap dancers. The food was amazing and Tarin gave excellent service. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they even brought him a complimentary dessert! Highly recommend!

Wonderful dining experience. We met the Manager, Scott who was the nicest, friendliest person who went above and beyond to make our dinner so very special. You see....we lost our precious daughter, Jenna 20 months ago. It was sudden and traumatic. The Boathouse and the Fillet Mignon sliders were here favorite. Her last birthday Orlando celebration in February 2023 was so special. We lost her suddenly in June 2023. We live on Long Island, we visit 3 to 4 times per year and T.J. has always taken care of us. Thank you to the staff at Tje Boathouse, T.J. and Scott for helping us through our grief at Jenna's favorite restaurant. You help to heal my heart! Sincerely, Jayne Hudson💜💜💜
