Reviews With Photos - Everglades Restaurant

Kassie C.

We attended the restaurant for a business dinner and I was very underwhelmed. The steak was probably the best thing on the menu unfortunately I did enjoy the seafood or appetizers. The chocolate cake is pretty good, but nothing to write home without. The ambience of being restaurant is in the Rose center is Mooreon the tourist attraction side is decorated. We are in the service was really great on the server was attempted. There was also no music did not hang up for the experience. Do you wanna practice that they did try the magical down so it may be a bit different if you try the al a cart items.

Sea bass
Genie M.

The art work and decor of restaurant are very interesting and inviting. The service from our waitress was cool. The food was fine. I had the sea bass. I tasted my friend's seafood curry, that was the MOST memorable. It was well seasoned, spicy and fresh! I also remember the bread basket having different types of flat breads and warm breads. And there was plenty!

Everglades Atmosphere
Alyssa Marie H.

If you like to see what creatures live in the Everglades without having to put your life in danger, the decor is a must-see. Expensive for what you get. But hey, it's a hotel restaurant in Orlando. Can't expect reasonable prices.

Triple chocolate cake

Food was excellent from the olives for the bread service to the filet to dessert. And the service was very good couldn't ask for more.

Angrove Family Crest Shiraz $15 per glass
Katie F.

Everglades they offer sparkling still or tap - we got the still and it comes in a little busker of ice. I mentioned my allergies and she told me she'd bring out the chef. I got the Angrove Family Crest Shiraz from McLaren Vale-AU for $15. The chef came out and I told him my allergies I got the NY strip for $50 minus the house butter- We just got our food; the NY strip is orgasmic. The sauce it comes with is a mushroom sauce however it's a bit too thick for my liking- my partner said it's GOOD. So I'll have to take his word for it. I completely finished my plate the steak is gone. Overall thoughts- very professional service from the staff, amazing food. This is t a quick meal the food is going to take a bit to get here; however absolutely phenomenal. I'll definitely be coming back to try the cocktails. The ambiance of the restaurant is Florida vibes meets classic flair of food and flavor. They've got a giant manatee, cougar, and alligator along the wall. A gorgeous hand painted mural of the Florida Everglades; as well as a tree frog. 10/10 Definitely recommend.

Oak Smoked Scallops
Heather M.

What a wonderful evening! We had a 7:15 reservation but arrived early. They happily sat us right away. Our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly. We decided on a whim to split an appetizer and entree. The waitress had no problem with that and the kitchen split the entree for us. We had the scallop appetizer, the Salmon with lobster risotto and a side of mushrooms. Everything was cooked perfectly. This was our second time here , the last being last year when we came to Orlando. I know this restaurant is in a hotel; come even if you are not staying at the hotel. It is worth it! We were so excited about the salmon I forgot to take a photo. It was beautiful and delicious.

Bread basket

Everglades is appropriately themed with it's vibrant and scenic use of decor. They have very professional staff and amazing food. The atmosphere is very hushed and casual, so you can dress up or dress down. They have tables and booths available, as well as a small bar. Fish tank, murals, and animal statues decorate the room. So for a drink I had the strawberry basil lemonade which also has Bacardi dragon fruit rum, and I must say it was refreshingly pleasant. Fairly light unlike most denser cocktails, semisweet, lightly tart, I tasted like I should be drinking it by a pool or a beach. They also have sparkling, tap and still water available, if that is more your thing. Before the entree is served you are given a made in house fresh basket of bread with white bread, pumpernickel and a giant sesame rice cracker, paired with, it was like a little bowl of chopped garlic, olives, tomatoes, oil, I honestly am not entirely sure what all is in it, but what I do know is you will want it on your bread. Now, the entree. I can truly say I have never had a better pork chop in my entire life! (Don't tell me my mother I said that) The Duroc Pork Chop is a thick cut, bone on, grilled chop, with whiskey glazed apple chunks, and a sauce/broth that brings out a savory meat flavor while the apples add a nice sweetness. Complimented by a few vegetables and delicious creamy and chunky mashed potatoes. I highly recommend this dish. I have never had a chop as moist and tender as this one. As far as parking, it is hotel parking in a garage, as the restaurant is inside the hotel, so down side here is we paid 30$ to park for two hours, but I would say that is the only catch, and truly is more of a reflection on the hotel, not the restaurant. But I felt the need to add that in as parking is a factor of a dining experience.

Alligator Bay Chowder
Dave C.

We were at Rosen Centre for a meeting and didn't want to brave I-Drive traffic and stayed there. I got the steak (pictured), and it was ok. Lot of butter, lots of salt, and relatively thin. It was indeed Choice not Prime. Kinda like a steak you'd get at the grocery store (but not H-E-B [IYKYK]). The alligator bay chowder was nice; I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, as I've only had alligator fried. Nice flavor in a tomato chowder base. The wine list for a hotel restaurant is pretty decent, though the two wines I really wanted were sold out. My dining partner had the chicken, which she quite liked. I had the "key lime pie" for dessert, and while the taste was great, texturally it was more like a cheesecake and very heavy. Everglades Restaurant is good. Not great, but pretty good. It's really 3-1/2 stars, but, we'll, three is an odd number, so I rounded down. If you're at Rosen Centre Hotel, it's indeed worth dining there. If you're not, I wouldn't go out of my way.

Olive dip and bread
Kari B.

The best scallops I have ever had. And a beautiful fillet with crab and truffle mashed potatoes. Service was wonderful even though they weren't busy. I felt like I was a VIP. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Inside the restaurant
Hailey S.

The Everglades Restaurant located inside the Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando, FL did NOT disappoint! We started off being provided a variety of breads and an olive oil dip. I also got an Irish coffee as a pre-dinner treat. It was a bit bitter, even for an Irish coffee, but if that's your preference, you'll like it! Between two people, we ordered the Chilean Seabass and Salmon dishes with risotto. They were both so flavorful and the serving sizes were generous. I'd recommend both dishes. Heads up - the prices are more so in the $$ and $$$ range. But in my opinion, it's definitely worth every cent. And for being a more expensive restaurant, the atmosphere and dress was pretty casual. So dress however makes you feel comfortable. The service we received was amazing as well. I give them five stars!

Deena S.

Eating at Everglades was a very good experience. Although it is in a huge hotel, the parking was very easy and the restaurant validates it. The restaurant is beautiful and unique. There are painted sculptures of all the different animals you may encounter in the Everglades.

Alligator Chowder
Melinda S.

We decided to try Everglades Restaurant for Magical Dining. We made a reservation in advance and were quickly seated. Service was great from start to finish. We had a team of several people checking on us including Victor and Antoinette (I unfortunately don't remember the name of the other gentleman), and all were friendly and happy to answer questions. The atmosphere is pretty cool; they have murals and statues trying to embody the "Everglades" vibe. I chose to try the alligator chowder, the citrus crusted salmon with lobster risotto, and the double chocolate fudge overload. I also ordered a blackberry mojito. My boyfriend chose the chowder also, and ordered the angus grilled filet (topped with crabmeat and bernaise for an extra $6 - worth it!), and the strawberry key lime tart. The mojito was decent, but not something I'd opt for again personally. The bread basket had a nice variety and I enjoyed the olive tapenade served with it as a switch from typical butter (which we did request since my boyfriend isn't an olive fan). The alligator chowder was yummy and had a good depth of flavor. The salmon was nicely cooked and I enjoyed the crust on it. The citrus flavor was subtle so I felt it needed just a little more pop of flavor, but swirling it in the sauce made it very good. The lobster risotto was awesome and the asparagus was nicely prepared. The angus filet was probably the star of the entrees especially with the crab meat and sauce. It was tender and cooked to the requested temp perfectly. The desserts here also shined. My boyfriend enjoyed his tart; I ordered my dessert in a to go box because I was full, but snagged a bite and it was delish and great for any chocolate lover. They also bring a few dessert truffles at the end of the meal which is a nice touch. Overall, this was a nice dining experience and definitely worth checking out!

For starters the food is excellent! The service was good as well! The Bread Basket was really good and came with an assortment of different options, it also had an olive tapenade for dipping. For an appetizer I went with the Watermelon & Goat Cheese Salad (beautiful presentation), this was so flavorful! For my main I chose the Angus Grilled Filet (medium) which was perfectly cooked, loved it! For dessert I had the dessert shots which were excellent too, however my mom had the chocolate moose dessert which was fantastic! Overall it was a wonderful dinner and my first magical dining experience for this year! The restaurant ambiance is intimate but in my opinion doesn't match the food. The food is elevated, the decor is not! Still recommend!

His professionalism and genuine hospitality elevated an already fantastic meal. The food was absolutely outstanding. The ribeye was cooked to perfection--tender, incredibly flavorful, and one of the best steaks we've had. The three-cheese au gratin potatoes were rich, creamy, and perfectly cheesy. The Brussels sprouts were phenomenal with amazing flavor and the perfect texture. To finish, we had the white chocolate bread pudding, and it was hands down the perfect ending to an incredible dinner. Rich, warm, and absolutely unforgettable. If you're looking for an amazing steakhouse with incredible food and first-class service, Kres Chophouse is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Laz again!

Monica was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. Unfortunately, our interaction with Mary was the complete opposite. She was rude and unaccommodating, which made our visit unpleasant. After ordering a few drinks, we decided to patronize another business. As a group of returning customers, we were also disappointed that no effort was made to accommodate us. We've supported this restaurant year after year, and we expected a more welcoming experience, especially as loyal guests. We hope management recognizes the difference that customer service can make and addresses these concerns so future guests--and returning customers like us--have a better experience.

All the steaks and chops around the room looked amazing with great aroma. The lighting is dim, but the large windows let in a lot of light to read menus. I recommend a table for two by the big windows overlooking the pool (and 9pm fireworks) or a comfy booth along the wall with the same view. We appreciated the perfect timing and temperature of our dishes. Our amuse bûche was a yummy ceviche packed with seafood. I would definitely order it if on the menu. The crudo appetizer was a standout dish - so fresh and flavorful, and beautifully presented. My smooth, delicious, piping hot sherry-infused lobster bisque was poured over a sizable slice of lobster, at the table. My dining partner was impressed with the delicious taste and temp of their Iberico Chop. I adored my perfectly seared and moist sea bass with fluffy gnocchi in a decadent, rich and creamy mushroom sauce (I substituted sea bass for escargot). The large, indulgent lobster mac side dish was an excellent compliment to both mains. It was flavorful with plenty of lobster; and the delicious crust on top would make amazing cheese crisps. Servers walked around with a variety of fresh, warm, yummy breads -- though 14 Prime breads in Jax taste better. The arrival of the crème brûlée flambée was reminiscent of a bananas foster presentation in NOLA. Unfortunately, the flames were the most interesting aspect of the crème brûlée. Flavor was not particularly special, and chocolate at the bottom tasted like pudding. Dessert was just 'ok' at Bull & Bear & Oscar's. Another small nitpick was the lack of black napkins for black outfits. Service was professional, yet approachable. Servers gave great recommendations without unnecessary upselling. They worked in teams, so there was always someone available to assist. Open 6-10pm daily, our reservation secured the table all night -- no rushing to turn tables over for the next guest. Some dishes include table side preparation, so prices reflect showmanship (e.g., lobster bisque poured at the table; table side César salad preparation; meat board & Dover sole table side deboning and plating; crème brûlée served in flames; strawberry ice cream created table side). We look forward to returning again and again.

It's clear the staff takes their work very seriously - hearing about the specials almost felt like a sales pitch - and the atmosphere is meant to be upscale and well executed. I recognize that as a vegetarian, I am nowhere near the target market for this menu. That being said, I found my entree and the bar's available ingredients lackluster, but the sides and dessert were delicious. The bread, glossed with butter and very fluffy, was divine. The waiter took my drink order, I asked for some options for a cocktail that were off menu that he'd have to check on, then the rest of my table got their drinks 15 minutes later, and I was told what I ordered wasn't possible. Not sure why drinks took so long or why I wasn't notified sooner, as this made our pacing a little odd. I ordered a blood orange heavy cocktail off the surprisingly short menu, and it was just ok - not a mix of flavors I'd normally go for, and very punchy. The greenery sprig was a visually appealing touch though, although it was a bit heavy handed on my neighbor's drink. My salad was yummy, with an interesting addition of potato chip like curls. The red wine that was ordered for the table was one of the best red wines I've ever had, very enjoyable, and I never normally like reds. The wine selection seems vast here - the menu is a true binder - and some options go over $2k for a bottle, so even the most extravagant tastes will find something they like here. My waiter gave me the tiniest bit of attitude upon finding out I was a vegetarian. Listen, sir, I didn't pick the restaurant, I know I don't belong here - yeesh. He did inform me that a cauliflower steak option was available, which I took him up on, but it was not listed on the menu anywhere. They should really add it to be more inclusive of all types of diets - it's 2026, you need to offer an entree that isn't meat, even if you're a steak and seafood restaurant. I'm never really that impressed with a cauliflower steak from anywhere, but this was one of the most bland I've ever had. It wasn't filling and the sauce had barely any salt or flavor to it - very lackluster. The desserts were amazing - I forget what we ordered other than the Creme Brulee topped with macarons and Butter Cake (OMG! WOW!), but everything I tried was yummy. It was a pretty busy spring Thursday night when I visited, but everything seemed to take quite a while to come out. A friend was dining separately at another table, and when we bumped into each other in the bathroom while waiting for apps, we both remarked on how long it was taking for food and drinks to come out. The atmosphere was also a bit chaotic - we had to wait in a cramped, awkward entry hallway for 10 minutes past our reservation time, which was a weird way to start the dining experience- they need a better waiting area. It was also very loud in here, which is not what I'd expect for such an upscale place - I could barely hear people across the table from me. It cheapened the overall feel. The price points are certainly impressive if you're wanting to come here to impress a date or business partner. Some bits were excellent, but the entree fell short for me. If you're getting what they specialize in, you'll probably have a better experience, but you'll also be waiting quite a while. I feel like the only person I know that isn't raving about this place, and although it puts on quite the show, there's some room for improvement. I WILL be dreaming about that bread and the salad's potato curls, though....
