What diners say — our read

These 25 reviews do not converge on a single verdict. Front-of-house tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 5.0 stars.

The split is 25 positive to 0 negative across 25 rated reviews. No one in this corpus comments on speed of service at all.

The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a C (77/100), citing 1 intermediate and 5 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was June 1, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. That puts it ahead of 15% of graded kitchens in Orange County. For specifics, the last inspection cited in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored and food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.

The honest summary is that the evidence is mixed on both sides. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Great food and great service! Very friendly staff and the portions were enough to feed 3 people. Overall very good experience! Pedro was a very nice waiter!

    The food is unbelievably delicious and our server Paulo was amazing at accommodating my gluten allergy. He checked with the kitchen every single time he wasn’t sure of something and was able to explain the plates super well to us. We ordered the cod with shrimp risotto and it was phenomenally cooked and seasoned but the star of the show was the Roast Orlando Chicken. The only way I can describe the sauce that they used to make that chicken is with the word heavenly. Highly recommend this restaurant
