    It was 10:22pm, they close at 11pm. This place welcomed us in and was happy and excited we came to dine "in." We ordered our drinks, appetizer and our pizza at 10:26pm, drinks were brought to our table at 10:28pm. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and was super surprised by the super clean men's restroom! Not a paper towel on the ground! Every paper towel and toilet paper dispenser was fully stocked! The sink was so clean! Far cry from a Red Robin or Olive Garden that's for sure! We started with two unsweet Iced teas and a water to drink. Our server, something, brought us lemons without even asking us! So great! Several televisions were playing different sports channels. Audio was just loud enough to toe tap to the music playing, a mix of current country and pop music. The restaurant is bright, clean and has a pleasant atmosphere. The bruschetta tasted like we were in Boston, not over powering and tomatoes were perfectly ripe! Pizza came to our table at 10:58pm by our server "Jenny." Jenny just came back with more drink refills and we didn't have to ask, it's like she is always a step ahead! Drinks, napkins, fresh plate! She is great! The bottom of the pie crust is a thicker crust and it was cooked perfectly! The authentic pizza sauce complemented the puff pastry style crust, toppings and fresh mozzarella! We finished up and paid our bill right at our table with Jenny. The bill was $45 and with tip $54... Reasonaly priced and great value! Thank you and by and Giordano's for a great late dining experience! Cheers!!

    First time at Giordano's and I'm already kicking myself for not discovering this earlier. We rolled in right when they opened (pro tip: best way to beat the crowd), and let me tell you--we didn't hold back. Five pies. Yes, FIVE. Add in some Caesar salads and a couple orders of garlic parm fries, and it felt like we were throwing a pizza party for the ages. The pizza? Absolutely phenomenal. Gooey, cheesy, crispy, and everything you dream about when you think "the best pizza ever." The garlic parm fries deserve their own standing ovation, and the Caesar salad was fresh and crisp--a nice balance before diving back into deep dish heaven. Our waitress was a rockstar! We had a party of eight (which can sometimes overwhelm a restaurant), but she handled everything with a smile, quick service, and genuine kindness. Big bonus points for a clean and well-stocked bathroom--because nothing ruins a good food experience like a questionable bathroom. Final verdict: I can't believe I've gone this long without Giordano's in my life. But now that I know better, it's officially a yearly tradition. If you've never been, stop reading this review and go. Immediately.

    We ordered a Chicago classic deep dish pizza. Meh! I really wanted to like it. I like the flavor of the sauce and the cheese was delicious. The crust wasn't my favorite. For a 45 min wait, I was expecting something steaming hot and better. Service was also just ok. I can tell it had been a long day. Our small pizza was $27. Not likely to return but it was worth a try.

    Giordano's in Lake Buena Vista is a must if you're craving authentic Chicago-style deep dish. The location near the Walt Disney World resort makes it convenient for people visiting the Orlando area. We were able to pop in for lunch on a day we sat aside to relax at our resort and enjoy the pool. The restaurant wasn't busy, and we were able to enjoy some cheese garlic bread while waiting on the true star of the show, the deep dish pizza. We went with the Chicago Classic, and it was loaded with pepperoni and veggies. The pizza was fantastic and fresh in the restaurant, and surprisingly to me, it was just as good as leftovers after a long day in the Orlando heat. While the cheesy garlic bread was just okay, the pizza alone was worth the trip.

    Pizza was spectacular! I loved the perfect amount of toppings and the special way it was made and served! The Chicago style of pizza is unique and tasty. Staff were excellent and very friendly. Place was clean and organized. Parking is ample. I love how family friendly this place is too. Delicious!

    Deep dish pizza and homemade Sangria!i Giordano's is a good place for family style dinning or a date night. Statues of the Blues brothers was cute Big screen tv's on the walls, its March madness it's about 10:15 pm on a Friday night. We waited about 15 minutes before we were able to be seated the place was not busy our server was nice as she took our orders for food & drinks it is come hungry the portion size is huge and be prepared to wait on that deep dish of deliciously seasoned pie it takes about 45 minutes to bake

    After so many years visiting Orlando my Wife made the decision to find this place that we haven't visited in years!!! Excellent choice! Pizza is delicious, service was great, place is super clean! Highly recommended for a family dinner..

    Caesar salad
    Chris K.

    I really wanted a pizza...I didn't want a $30+ pizza. I started with a Caesar Salad. Dressing was good. A little more on the vinegar side than the creamy. Went with the chicken parmigiana. Probably should have gone with the chicken as a sub. Or probably should have spent the money and get a pizza!

    The places was pretty full. We had to wait a little bit - it wasn't horrible but just keep that in mind. Food was fine and I did like some of the decorations.

    One last meal before heading home. I decided to have breakfast at Keke's Breakfast Cafe. I have…read moreread so many reviews about this place from other yelpers, and now I get to experience it for myself, but no one mentioned how packed this place was. One thing I believe in is when a restaurant is consistently packed, that signifies the food is good. Along with other groups of people, I had to wait to be seated, but it wasn't for long. I followed the hostess through the spacious restaurant until he placed me at a small booth table. My server was very pleasant. She approached the table, warmly greeted me, and asked if I would like some orange juice, which I gladly accepted. At the same time, I placed an order for their apple cinnamon french toast. Wow, I was impressed with the presentation. Three thick slices of bread nicely browned with cinnamon-spiced apple filling and dusted with powdered sugar. This dish didn't need any syrup. The flavors from the apples was just enough and it was so ooey-gooey good. The meal was thoroughly enjoyed and I received satisfactory service. I am definitely looking forward to my next visit.

We tried to come here on a Saturday around 10am and there was a line so we returned Sunday at 7:30am. No line, but we had to wait about 5 minutes to be seated. They may have been waiting on more staff since half the restaurant was empty. Our food was fine but on par with Denny's or Perkins. My potatoes were slightly undercooked and warm at best. Worst part: we came here to use a gift card since we're moving out of the country in three days. Sorry, our machine isn't taking gift cards at this time so just use it next time. We told the manager it only had $10 and she said there was nothing she could do. I found a local couple on our way out and gave it to them. I would not recommend Keke's even without the gift card situation.

The hotel lobby was very clean and sleek, and the concierge were very nice and communicative! The restaurant is just inside on the first floor, and was very well presented. It was very slow this morning for brunch, and we had no problems finding a place to sit with our little 2 month old boy! The staff served us quickly, and explained each of their recommendations. I'm so glad we listened because each of the items were beautifully presented, and so so delicious. We started with the tuna pizza, mainly because we were curious, and that was the most unique take on pizza/seafood in my opinion. The tuna was so fresh, the garlic aioli complimented very well with the crisp cracker/crust. I had the Ette Norwegian Benedict and was very happy. The smoked salmon was very tasty, and the side arugula and avocado salad was very fresh. Maddie had the lobster roll which absolutely slapped! Lastly, we were recommended the AB Chocolate in a cup, and WOW you must try this! Very warm nutella chocolate cake at the bottom, vanilla ice cream all the way to the top of the cup, and topped with a hard chocolate disk and banana foam. It was honestly one of the top desserts I have ever had. We shared one, but so tempted to order another one! I can't wait to come back and try some of their cocktails sometime with dinner!

You have to pay to secure your seating, including mandatory 20% tip. Equaled out to $100/pp. Very steep! Reservations were easy on Open Table. We arrived separately & met in the lobby of the hotel the restaurant is in. Very upscale. Gorgeous. Literally NO guests visible. No staff at the hostess station. When I walked in to the bar to ask about seating, I got very dismissive responses from the bartender & the person who ended up being the host. Like WEIRD rude. Service was extremely slow, even though the restaurant was largely empty the whole time. It was unnerving. The tea refresh was simply more hot water, NOT a fresh tea bag, so round two was basically flavorless. Ew. The server was really nice, but the long waits to get her attention were frustrating. And the water bottles were kept away from our table (?). I was having thirsty day, so my tongue was sticking to the roof of my mouth for way too long. When I asked for the bottle, she acted like she was irritated because it was "right behind" (me). Where neither of us could see it??? The lighting was AWFUL so most of the pics look bad, even with heavy editing. You can tell it's beautiful, but the pics are rough. Now - the settings were GORGEOUS. The dishes and flatware were beautiful. The water options were wonderful. The food is in the top 3 of any tea service I've ever had. The tea itself is hands down the best tea I've EVER HAD anywhere. You get a sampler box to smell before you choose, and there were so many that I loved. I ended up with Marco Polo blue, add honey and cream. I couldn't finish all the food, and they boxed the remainder up. Let me take the remainder of my water bottle home. Pushed for a review HARD. So here it is. We have to remember that the Michelin rating is solely for the food, not the decor, not the service. It definitely delivered there, but the rest really fell flat. For the price I'd expect way more as it's about double what tea costs anywhere else in the entire area.
