"Absolutely the best vegan in Orlando in 2022. The owner (Fabio) is mostly a plant-based eater and the care put into the food is far beyond the many Michelin restaurants in Orlando. A MUST do even if you 're not vegan as they have a carni menu too. Food: we went for Fabio 's Table which is a rotating special menu that occurs every few months in addition to the base menu for our one year wedding anniversary. This was fixed five courses, all vegan, and absolutely delicious. The theme was Europe Meets Asia and we had Paella Springrolls, Italian Bahn Mi, German Udon Soup, Peking Tempeh with French Mothersauces, and a Vietnamese French crepe for dessert. I cannot begin to describe how each dish was an explosion of flavors, perfectly balanced, unexpected, and portioned (if you 're not a glutton). We have been on a string of bad restaurants this past year and Fabio blew our taste buds away. At the end of the meal, we were magically full and left without that horrible oily residue so many restaurants these days leave in the mouth. It was healthy, but did not taste like it. Bravo! Service: fantastic. Every staff member was kind and attentive. Our tableside water was never empty and Fabio himself explained every dish, his inspiration, and wine pairing. Can 't ask for anything more. Atmosphere: cozy, modern, and beautiful with local artwork for sale on the walls. Sound is the only reason to be worried. There was a birthday celebration and the typical, entitled silver-spooners were really loud as soon as they got one glass of wine in them. Improvement opps: almost nothing I would improve except two tiny things- 1. Some sound dampening high on the walls out of sight may help combat loud guests. 2. A better water filter. Winter Park water is straight pool water and even Fabio 's current filter system couldn 't make it perfect. Regardless, it was a fantabulous meal and we 'll be returning many more times to come!"

"Great options and flavors. They have honey options for sweetness along with almond and soy milk. The smoothies are real fruit and are very tasty. You can get combos like strawberry watermelon. Highly recommend, especially if you can’t drink tea (leaf that is black/green/white) because there are other good options.Dietary restrictions: They have dairy free options like almond and soy milk. They also have drinks that just say what they are strawberry watermelon smoothie was literally water, watermelon and strawberry. There’s not weird stuff snuck in like bananas are put into a lot of smoothies and not said in the menu for some restaurants. Not this place! You get what you’re asking for"

Kadence

Menu • Fish • Sushi • Casual • Japanese

"This place is very crafted, and very highly regarded. The restaurant is not exactly decorated outside, with easy to find signage, and is very nondescript. When you approach, it will be all black and is next-door to ABC liquors. When you enter, it’s brightly decorated with Japanese style paintings all over the place, and the staff are quite friendly and attentive. Obviously everyone in Winterpark knows that this is one of the restaurants that got a Michelin star rating. It is for a good reason because they make excellent food. Anytime they offer Onigiri we get it, especially since only onigiri is seemingly very difficult to come by in the Orlando area. Their offerings are unique, and utilize fresh and delicious ingredients. We highly recommend this place. Service: Take out Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Salmon Roe, Sushi, Ramen, Nigiri Prep, Chirashi Bowl"

"The donuts here are fantastic, and the customer service is excellent! I typically order donuts through Dunkin', but I've had issues with local locations being understaffed and not preparing my orders on time, despite placing them online well in advance. I started going to this place for my orders a month ago, and they've always delivered. I ordered three dozen donuts on a Saturday for pickup on Sunday morning, paid by card over the phone, and the process was smooth. I can simply walk in, pick up my donuts, and leave. The donuts taste amazing, and the staff is consistently friendly. I highly recommend this place!"

"The service and setting were excellent; the only letdown was the food and drink. I don't remember the name of the drinks, but they just felt plain?a collection of flavors that never really come together, leading to a confusing experience. The same applies to the food. The hush puppies were void of crab flavor, saved only by the provided sauce. The Mahi, while cooked perfectly, was overpowered by the brine sauce on the plate. I did like the play of that with the sweet potato. But it all coalesced into a salty mess. My fantastic waitress noticed my disappointment and asked if I wanted something else I opted for the scallops. The disappointment continued when a plate of four scallops with a pile of junk in the middle was presented. The overly sweet sauce and apple salad did little to meld with the flavor of the scallops. Another expensive letdown in a picturesque setting. ?"
