Another amazing experience at the Blue Dragon! Pizza Moon and bread cones be damned (well, no, not…read morereally--both great eats). I am obsessed with the thai milk powder cocktail. I also love it as a non-alcohol option. They also have a great Aperol Spritz that has a punchy Yuzu citrus syrup in it. This go, I had the X'ian Noodles. Nice heat on it! Indulgent wide noodles to much on. The flavors are not what you're typically thinking as an American eating Chinese food. The spices were more-so warm spices--think like nutmeg coriander. It took me a second to adjust, but it was really yummy. Once again, it is the staff that truly stood out here. My bartenders were Eric and Sammie!! they were both so friendly, made great drinks, and provided beautiful service. Not to mention, Eric was handing out little epic themed gifts to mothers for Mother's Day! I'm not a mom and I still got some things. Just such a lovely experience and I can't wait to go back

It looks so small on the outside but it's a big establishment. Based on aesthetics it looks really amazing. Our bartender was really nice and charismatic, talking to everyone at the bar table.

It wasn't one of the best espresso martinis I've had, but decently tasty.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I feel compelled to…read moreshare it. From the moment we arrived, we felt unfairly judged. As the hostess walked away from our table, she commented that our group was going to be "nothing but a problem." The basis for that assumption? One member of our party had simply helped clear and organize the table to make the seating process easier and faster for the staff. Yes, we were a lively group. We were on vacation, having a great time at Disney, laughing and enjoying each other's company. What we were not was intoxicated. The situation escalated when one of our friends was accused of being drunk and our entire party of 10 was asked to leave. The problem is that she wasn't intoxicated at all. What makes this especially troubling is that our friend has worked incredibly hard to maintain her sobriety and recently celebrated 12 months alcohol-free through AA. To be publicly accused of being drunk after reaching such a significant milestone was humiliating, heartbreaking, and completely unnecessary. When we brought our concerns to the General Manager, Scott, we expected leadership. We expected someone who would take a moment to assess the situation, listen to both sides, and use his own judgment. Instead, he simply stated that he trusted his employees and made no effort to independently evaluate what had happened. A manager's job isn't to blindly accept accusations. A manager's job is to gather facts, assess the situation, and make informed decisions. In this case, Scott failed to do that. As a result, the restaurant lost a party of 10 customers. More importantly, they deeply hurt someone who has spent the last year fighting for her sobriety. That's the part of this experience we won't forget. Everyone makes mistakes. Great restaurants acknowledge them, learn from them, and treat people with dignity. Unfortunately, this experience was defined by assumptions, poor judgment, and a complete lack of empathy from both the staff and management.

I have been going here for over 20 years with photos as a child with my dance team growing up on the iconic steps out front. Our group of 4 came on a Sunday night. We had a reservation but arrived an hour early and was able to be seated. I would note though that the hostess did not convey to us to head upstairs so we were sort of confused where to go at first. Our server greeted us and was a ball of energy. She took our order with ease. I started with a Strawberry Teremana margarita that was pretty good. For my entree I had the featured Messi chicken sandwich. The sandwich was huge because it was a 2 patty sandwich. It was very filling and good. I enjoyed the taste of the honey mustard which I enjoy dipping my fries in. While we were waiting for the food, we walked around the different rooms upstairs to take in all the memorabilia. I really enjoyed seeing writing from Elvis in the Elvis room. Our server took I believe either 10% or 15% off the bill when people we were with showed their ticket to a show at the Hard Rock that night. That was a discount we didn't know we were going to have.

This review concentrates on what happens before you enter the front door. Hard Rock Orlando is located in City Walk at Universal Orlando Resort. First thing is you pay $35 to park. That is before you set on foot in City Walk. That is before you order food, drink or souvenirs. Then there is the location. Hard Rock is not convenient to walk to. From car to front door takes 15-20 minutes. This location was not built for the general public. It was built for theme park patrons and resort patrons. Yes you can get in but you pay to park whether you go to the park or not. Yes parking is Free after 6 pm, but if you are not going to a theme park then validate somewhere in city walk. Probably a one and done for this family.

A quiet place to enjoy a great meal…read more I came here on a Thursday evening around 6:30pm with no reservation. It was quiet with a few parties there and I was seated immediately by the pleasant host. Antonette served me and she was stellar. She was very polite, professional and knowledgeable about the menu. She took her time and offered insightful menu recommendations. The first thing I had was a complimentary, assorted bead basket with olive dip. I don't even like olives but I really enjoyed having the dip on sliced baguette pieces. I couldn't get enough. I also had the Chilean sea bass with risotto, artichokes and tomatoes for dinner. I was very pleased. The flavor, texture and presentation were perfect. It was the right amount of food and taste. I ate it all - feeling satisfied but not stuffed. I enjoyed the Hester Street Olde Fashioned with my meal. It was exactly what I wanted and how it should be. It was strong but not overpowering with a subtle sweetness. Perfect! I also got a crab cake to-go. This is one of the good crab cakes that's all meat instead of mostly bread crumbs and fillers. It has substance and flavor. Overall, I'd come here again and would recommend it. It's even good for a solo dinner. They take good care of you. Don't let the slightly dated wildlife decor deter you, this is a fine dining experience indeed.

We had the alligator soup which was like a chowder with tender meat and vegetables in a tomato based broth. It was a large portion the flavors were memorable. The Caesar salad was crisp and fresh. It was great. Again a good portion. The main course was the filet. It was cooked perfectly tender. Served with a savory sauce and flavorful vegetables. Dessert was the key lime cheesecake. This was plated amazingly as were the other courses. The lime and raspberry sauces were fantastic. The pie filling was light and melted in my mouth. Delicious. The Tiramisu was light and so good. All were served in an artistic way. Skill for sure. Our server was so attentive, she really knew the menu and how to make an experience great. Sorry no pictures. My only disappointment was I read about the alligator rolls. In there place was a bread basket of various fresh tasty assortment. The cranberry bread was great. So not too disappointed.

We had an interesting experience here…read more We had a flight to catch later in the day and decided to stop here after lunch after going to the mall nearby. We initially sat at the outdoor(ish) bar which had a bunch of people there...but no bartender. After 5 minutes or so, we opted to go inside. The inside bar was bit fuller and we spotted the bartender right away. We sat down ordered drinks and viewed the menu. We started off with the pretzel which was good. It was a bit undercooked, but not a dealbreaker. And here's where things got a little interesting. There was a group there who was celebrating a wedding. They were LOUD. Not rude or inappropriate, but just loud. I'm all for having fun, but they were a bit over the top. Through some conversation with the staff, we found out the outdoor bartender came in to make sure the inside bartender was ok given those particular patrons. Solid move on his part for helping out a colleague! The food from here was scattered. My wife's salad came out and was drenched in dressing. Despite the menu saying all dressings on the side, that apparently doesn't apply to the Caesar according to the staff. My wings came much later...much much later. It wasn't a complicated order, so it was a bit surprising. That being said, they were cooked well and seasoned/sauced nicely. It seemed they had a bit of an off day here, so I want to review accordingly.

Still a Favorite After 30 Years!…read more I've been a frequent diner at Bahama Breeze for the past 30 years, so it's safe to say I'm a fan! My most recent visit to the Vineland Ave. location near the outlets was for a date night, and overall, we had a really enjoyable experience. We started with several margaritas, and they were vibrant, flavorful, and a great way to kick off the evening. We also enjoyed the yuca sticks and coconut shrimp -- both were delicious. The one big miss of the night was the tostones with chicken. The fried plantains were burnt, there was very little chicken, and unfortunately, there was none of the jerk seasoning that really brings this dish together. That was disappointing, especially since the flavors are what make this appetizer stand out. That said, I'm chalking it up to an off night. One dish isn't going to change my opinion after three decades of enjoying Bahama Breeze. I still love the restaurant, the atmosphere, and the overall experience -- and I'll definitely be back soon! Hopefully the tostones are back to their usual standard on my next visit.
