Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Diners rate this place well. The inspector did not. Reviewers who mention how guests are treated rate this place 4.7 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.
Conspicuously absent: wait times, which no reviewer brings up. The split is 22 positive to 2 negative across 25 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 21 of the 25 reviewers who rated.
The inspection record is the harder read. DBPR graded this kitchen a D (66/100) on 3 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 2 basic violations — a verdict the review average does not reflect. That inspection was on June 26, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. On health score it sits safer than 6% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. Among the items recorded were food from approved source and cross-contamination.
What to do with that is a judgement call — the reviews describe the experience, the grade describes the conditions behind it. The individual reviews are below, newest first, if you want the raw material.

No problem with the food I enjoyed the stay there the only minor difficulty was trying to pay with my phone because they had to let you tap your phone to a little receiver and you were not able to see what you were paying until after it was paid it was not like when you're in a retail establishment and you see a screen in front of you and you see what you're paying I thought that was a little odd.

The experience here was wonderful. This was my first time. The food was good and what also made the experience special was our amazing server, Fredy. He was extremely attentive, polite, and friendly. He made the time there even better. I would definitely come back.

Fredy was a fantastic server. He even helped break down, crack, and open lobster's for the member of our party who were struggling a bit. The food is absolutely one of the best values on a meal in Orlando!
