    I came here for my birthday and honestly could not have asked for a better birthday dinner experience. Chef Bruno and his staff are all super welcoming and it was great having him give an introduction to each course. We opted for the 11-course dinner and shared the wine pairing ($95 I believe, with 7-8 wines; sommelier was great and I thought the pairing was really good value). There wasn't a single course we didn't enjoy in terms of taste, presentation, and creativity. My favorites were the starting course (oyster with caviar), fish course (all the flavors came together incredibly well), and bread course (that black garlic and truffle butter was mouthwatering). By the final savory course, I was getting absolutely stuffed (you are NOT walking away hungry here) and could barely finish the first dessert course (luckily it was something light and refreshing). The final dessert course (assorted chocolates and sweets) I had to take to-go. They also offered a small slice of birthday cake, which was sweet of them. All in all, if you're looking for a fine dining experience in Orlando, I absolutely recommend!

    On a recent trip to Orlando, Florida, we were quite surprised to find multiple fine dining restaurants. Of the few we tried we felt Foreigner was absolutely outstanding. It is a very intimate 11 course dinner and we were able to see chef Bruno Fonseca at work as him and his staff prepared our courses for the evening. We were seated right at the bar along with three other guests (as I said, it was an intimate experience!) Brett, the sommelier, was very patient as we determined our drink selection. I chose two different glasses of wine, which were both exceptional, and my boyfriend opted for the premium wine selection, which paired perfectly well with every dish. I just wanted to highlight the plating which was beautiful. Of the courses, I particularly enjoyed the venison, which is not something I've tried before, but but was glad to have tried it at Foreigner! it was succulent, flavorful, and accompanied by sautéed vegetables. Worth every bite! I also enjoyed the duck! I enjoyed listening to the story behind each dish and found the menu to be quite whimsical. For example, one of the courses was a cotton candy served on a a stick, inside which was a lovely cheese. There was also a coconut flavored dish that was quite delectable! While the price tag can raise the eyebrow, I think it is absolutely worth it for the experience, especially if you are a foodie. In general, the food scene in Orlando is actually insanely good and I cannot wait to go back and return to the Foreigner, as well as try the other fine dining restaurants in the area!!

    This is 15/10 because there was not one dish that didn't taste amazing. The menu is not the same each time. Chef was amazing. It's very personal and he interacts with the guest on each dish. He describe each dish and even asked my son for his personal feedback. My son has an amazing palette. I was amazed at their conversation. I can promise you that this is a 10 to 11 course you do not want to miss. Great for date night, special occasions, Your meal is individually set at your reserved time. Please stop by. It's worth it.

    Wow, is a way to describe the foreigner. The chefs kitchen experience is incredible. The ingredients are as fresh as you can get, the wine selection is incredible and the detail that goes into the food is wow. The chef explains the food with attention to detail and I love how all the food comes out together as a presentation. You will not be disappointed with this intimate setting.

    Had the opportunity to check out Foreigner Restaurant, and it was an amazing experience! Chef Bruno was fantastic and his food is exceptional. When you walk in, you are greeted by the host, and seated at the kitchen counter for the dining experience. There is no menu card, but you do receive it at the end of the dining experience. You are immersed with anticipation with each new course that is presented to you. After the main entree is served, you are taken to the dessert table where the servers provide an array of delicious treats. Overall, the experience and food was phenomenal, and you must be open minded in regards to what is being presented in front of you as you eat it and enjoy the experience!

    We came here on a Wednesday night and unfortunately they do not have the 11 course meal here on this night. The reservation process is a bit cumbersome since you have to prepay the meal through a link to get a reservation. The location is surprisingly in a strip mall. The meal is served at a countertop and is there only one large table at the establishment. The service was good and the food and presentation was very good as well. We only were able to have the 4 course meal so we had a beet salad, a guinea hen, and a steak piece. Desert we did not care for and it was ice cream with a hardened shell. Worth trying but would recommend going on nights they have the 11 course meal available.

    This restaurant had been on my to try list and my sister treated my BIL and I to celebrate life from a tough year! Everything was exceptional and the blend of flavors with each course were delicious and on point. The staff and the chef were friendly, attentive, professional and explained each course as we received it. At the end of our meal, for dessert we moved to the communal tile to enjoy our sweets and if needed some coffee. I forgot to mention that we started with the caviar add on, which was good and it was a surprise to have it served with potatoes. Personally, we like the usual way to serve caviar (bread) but it was a good thing to try. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a modern chic look and feel and seating encourages other guests to talk to each other if they would like. It was an awesome experience and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

    I was super excited to finally visit, especially for brunch! Being able to try out the brunch menu made me want to come back to dinner soon. Food: My favorite from the brunch menu was the soft shell crab tostadas. It was so flavorful and the soft shell crab was so fresh and prepared to perfection. Honestly the best soft shell crab I've had. The other dishes were unique as well and very tasty. For a 4-course tasting it was pretty filling for brunch but not too full where I'm uncomfortable. Overall a great brunch menu and I'd come back for dinner! Service: Chef Bruno was very friendly and he checked in with all the guests throughout the meal to make sure we're enjoying ourselves. The staff were amazing and friendly. Ambiance: I love the space and decor. It's very modern and classy. I also love the music selection and learned the chef Bruno is really into music himself. Value: It was totally worth the price for brunch! The beverage pairing was also great for the price. Brunch for 2 people with beverage pairing for 2 came out to $240 after service charge and tax. Parking: There were a few parking spots reserved for the restaurants but the parking lot itself have enough parking spaces too, at least when we're here for brunch (around noon). So parking wasn't hard here.

    My husband and I attended at least four chef's table experiences at The Foreigner when they were a pop-up at The Heavy. The style at their pop-up was similar to what is offered at the new restaurant; Nouveau American prix fixe chef's table with monthly changes to the menu. We were absolutely thrilled with this dinner experience. Chef Bruno crafted an elegant menu for the evening and everything was constructed so artfully by himself and his team. The reserve wine pairing was also exquisite. This is an experience absolutely worth repeating. My favorite was the second duck dish, although I loved the the fois gras in the pastry. My husband said his favorite was the oyster starter with the caviar. Salivating just thinking about it again. And what a cute touch to move everyone to the dessert table at the end for the cheese course, coffee service and dessert. The service was also top notch. Michelin-worthy!

    My husband and I came here this past Saturday with some family and had a truly wonderful experience. We did the 5:30pm dining time and ended up being the only 4 in there, so we got a special private dining session with Bruno and the staff. It was so fun to get to talk with him and hear what each dish was and what inspired them. Everything was amazing and unique! We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and a top tier experience enjoying it.

    Absolutely worth every penny. Perfect combination of experimental and delicious flavors. Actually cant wait to come back and see what they do next.

    Liyike J.

    Great! Originally planned to go elsewhere, but this place had an opening. Pretty good, indeed. They start with a matcha lime drink. The tomato sorbet salad is tasty. The sandwich is decent, but the brioche at the bottom is a bit heavy. The charcuterie is delicious, with fragrant ham. Desserts are also good, especially the sweet soup with cherry and blue cheese, although the chocolate is average. They offer wine pairing, with a different wine for each dish. Would come back for the new menu.

    THE BEST FOOD EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD! I could write a small novel on this place, it's what my dreams are made of. Fancy but not pretentious 10 courses of the best food you've ever tried An array of food that will blow your mind Service was incredible and everyone was beyond accommodating and kind The restaurant is beautiful Quaint and vibey The chef, Bruno puts so much thought and skill into every single thing and it really shows.

    Restaurant #3 in my 2026 Magical Dining tour was this fantastic restaurant. This was my first visit…read moreto The Ravenous Pig and will not be my last. I was unable to make a reservation for this night, but walked in and was seated at the bar immediately. There are two hostess stands at this location. The first stand is at the door next to the Valet Parking stand and is for confirmed reservation seating. You are directed to walk further down the hallway towards the bar area for another separate hostess stand for walk-ins. We were seated at a nice two-top table close to the brewery room. (Note: we noticed a separate table inside the brewery which appeared to accommodate a small group and most likely requires a reservation to be seated there.) Kelly was our server and she was efficient, fun and very knowledgeable of the menu. She answered all of our questions, including explaining the ingredients of some of our selections. Our drink selections consisted of the frozen Getaway Car (vodka, sour cherry and maraschino liqueur) and the Woe Is Me martini (herb-infused Grey Goose with a pickled cherry tomato). The tomato made this martini stand out! The presentation of both drinks was memorable as was the taste of each. For our appetizers, we shared the Gatherer Salad (a zesty combination of baby greens, avocado, pickled beets, radish, goat, cheese and walnut granola with a herb vinaigrette dressing-outstanding!) and the Mushroom and Gruyère Beignets, set off by the pecorino cheese and the truffle aioli sauce. We easily could've had a second round of the beignets, but decided to go ahead and order our second course. For the second course, we shared the Pan Seared Redfish with summer vegetables, and the Steak Frites. The fish was delicate, light and the fennel broth made this dish a winner. The Steak Frites consisted of rubbed prime flat iron steak, garlic aïoli and bordelaise sauce-SO GOOD! The truffle fries were plentiful and, when combined with the sauce, resulted in a perfect accompaniment to this meal. For the final course, we shared the Black Forest Cake and the Peaches & Cream (caramelized puff pastry with peach jam, and mascarpone custard). Both desserts were the explanation points of the evening. At the end of the night, we told Kelly that we loved the combination of the "naughty and nice" pairings for this magical dining experience. (For example, the beignets and the salad, plus the redfish and the steak, allow you to both eat healthy and eat decadent.) A final shout out to the General Manager, Scott, who gave me an excellent tour of the outside beer garden (not occupied due to the rain that evening) and the major beer brewery facility next to it. TV screens are available in the garden, and would be an excellent party place for watching football this Fall. I think I have my next visit to The Ravenous Pig planned in the coming weeks. Great service and great food made this easily a 5-star evening.

The steak frites are just as magnificent as my boyfriend and I remembered. Have you ever had a food memory? Years ago, my dad made the best steak I've ever had. He passed away when I was a kid, and two summers ago, when I took my first bite of the steak here, my mouth watered... but so did my eyes. It was one of the strangest, most beautiful experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. For a moment, it felt like Dad was sitting at the table with us. To taste something so familiar, something I hadn't experienced in over twenty years, was surreal. That's not a compliment I hand out lightly. So we each had that For this visit, we started with the rock shrimp tacos, and they absolutely did not disappoint. They packed a nice little kick without overwhelming the dish, and we practically inhaled them. Of course, we had to finish the meal the same way we did last time: with churros. Somehow they were even better than we remembered. Crispy, warm, perfectly sweet, exactly the kind of dessert that makes you argue over who gets the last bite. My boyfriend ordered two Old Fashioneds, and I had two Cosmos. Both were delicious and definitely generous on the pour. I was a little concerned when we arrived for our 8:00 p.m. reservation because the place was PACKED for a Thursday night. We ended up waiting a bit past our reservation time. The hostess suggested we grab a drink at the bar, but that area was just as crowded, so we hung out in the lobby instead. The wait ended up being completely worth it because we were seated at the exact table I was secretly hoping for: the most perfect little corner window booth, straight out of a movie scene. It was the ideal setting for our last night of vacation. And then there was our server, Anton. Anton could teach a master class on waiting tables. He was efficient, funny, attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what he was doing. In a world where great service sometimes feels like a lost art, Anton was an absolute delight. The Ravenous Pig delivered once again: phenomenal food, excellent cocktails, memorable service, and one of those meals you'll still be talking about long after you've gone home. We can't wait for our next trip to Orlando and our next visit back.

If you're planning to come here, I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. We had to wait for our table, so it's better to plan ahead. As far as the food, I ordered something that was okay, but honestly, it didn't really blow my mind. The people I was with ordered the chicken sandwich and tomato soup, and they really enjoyed those. Unfortunately, the service was the biggest issue during our visit. I would give the service 2 stars out of 5. It took a very long time for our waitress to come over and take our order. There were also several issues with the drinks. She brought mine but forgot the rest of the party. Later, she brought one more and then forgot another one. She seemed to be all over the place, and eventually we had to ask someone else for one of my kids' drinks. When she finally came back, she explained that they were out of some of the items we had ordered, so one person in our party couldn't get what they originally wanted. After we placed the new order, it also took quite some time for the food to come out. We were there around lunchtime, so I was surprised that the service was moving so slowly. One thing to know is that they currently only have one menu for brunch and dinner which would be helpful for checking the options ahead of time. On the bright side, they do have happy hour, which is always a plus. Overall, I really liked the atmosphere and the location, but the service definitely needs some improvement. This location is right on Park Avenue in Winter Park, so it's a nice area to visit and walk around afterward.

The menu was extremely limited -- only three appetizers, two of which were salads, and the third (brussels sprouts) wasn't even available. The entrées and desserts were also limited to three options each. For a $60 per‑person dining event, we expected a memorable meal, but the service was slow and the wait between courses was unusually long. We also weren't informed ahead of time that parties larger than six are automatically charged an added tip percentage. The atmosphere and interior were beautiful, but the food itself didn't match the price or the occasion. My chicken entrée was shockingly small -- essentially the size of a single chicken wing -- served with six small red potatoes in sauce. It didn't feel like a $60 dish in any way. Overall, the experience was disappointing, especially considering it was meant to be a special birthday dinner for my mom. This isn't meant to be harsh, just honest feedback. I truly hope management takes this seriously and improves both the menu and the service for future Magical Dining guests.

It reminded me of a New Orleans-style paella, loaded with perfectly seasoned dirty rice, andouille sausage, shrimp, and an incredible depth of flavor in every bite. My husband began with the French Vegetable Soup, which he described as magnificent, followed by the Short Rib Sliders, which were tender, flavorful, and expertly prepared. For dessert, we indulged in the Peach Cobbler à la Mode, topped with vanilla bean ice cream. It was decadent, comforting, and the perfect ending to the meal. To top it all off, we enjoyed a frothy cappuccino served with a rock candy sugar stick--a beautiful finishing touch. The food, presentation, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. We can't say enough good things about our experience and look forward to returning. Highly recommended!

    Would I bring a date here? YES!!!!…read more The Pinery understood the assignment. Great atmosphere, great food, and an awesome staff made this a perfect date-night spot. The season watermelon cocktail was so refreshing and lite and packed full of flavor. The shrimp & grits were the standout--rich, flavorful, and definitely something I'd order again. The dip with toasted bread was perfect for sharing, the cocktails were creative, and the key lime pie was a smooth finish to the night. But the service really elevated the experience. Marco (aka "Tequila Time" ) was awesome, and honestly, the entire staff was amazing--welcoming, attentive, and made us feel taken care of from beginning to end. Food: 9/10 Cocktails: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Date Night: 9.5/10 Would I come back? Absolutely. The Pinery officially makes my Orlando date-night rotation.

    My girlfriend and I finally got together for dinner to not only catch up but also enjoy some good…read morefood! This was our first Magical Dining experience of this season! It's commonly known that there is an overwhelming amount of restaurants listed for Magical Dining, and The Pinery was our first choice! We have heard so many good reviews of this restaurant. Unfortunately, our visit fell short :( I want to begin with how lovely our hostess, bartender, and server was. I'm sure the reasons behind our negative experience is beyond their control. We were sat 45 minutes past our reserved dinner time. The short ribs from the main courses ran out. That was our top choice and we were saddened to learn of the sellout for the night. The bread service we ordered was terribly stale. The fried green tomato lacked taste and flavor. The shrimp and grits dish was delicious! I honestly don't think the cornbread was necessary for this dish. The tradition shrimp, sausage, grits, and gravy were perfectly paired and did not require the cornbread. The cornbread itself was part of the bread service, which lacked taste and appeared stale. The desserts were the star of the show. I was informed they make everything in house to include the desserts. Amazing job! Also, because of the delay, we were gifted an additional dessert. Thank you so much! I'd be happy to return one day to give it another shot. We had such high expectations based on the reviews we've heard from others. I also understand it was a Sunday evening, but also a business this popular could be a bit more prepared for the rush. Nonetheless, thank you for your hard work and for welcoming us.
