    Seafood tower
    Daniel H.

    This place is fantastic!!! We came here off recommendation and we were fully satisfied with the choice! With reservation we were sat right away, however they weren't super busy so may not need one? At any rate, promptly greeted by our server who explained the menu and ordering they use with recommendations so we could enjoy the experience fully. No delays in cocktails which is always nice and they did keep an eye on that so we didn't run dry I'm so sorry for lack of photos, we were so so hungry and as it all came out we simply devoured it. Haha! I did atleast get a picture of the seafood tower and I my absolute favorites from that was blue crab dip and the scallop crudo. Wasn't a huge fan of the oysters but I'm prob too picky with those anyways! Overall, HIGHLY recommend them. We are no longer in Florida but if we were we would be repeat customers!!!

    Really vibey spot for drinks and small plates. It's first come first serve for tables and seating so it's kind of hit or miss, but we were luckily able to find a spot right away. We came after dinner so didn't try any of the food, even though it all looked so good. But the drinks were amazing! And love that they make bespoke mocktails.

    We took family visiting here and got there right before opening and were the first several in line. You validate parking inside and scan the QR at your seat for the menu. Once you fill out the form you turn it at to the bar. The food came out as it was ready which was nice. Our favorites are always the blue crab fried rice, karaage, beef with chimichurri, and soy butter mushrooms. Overall it was a chill atmosphere for the time we spent there.

    Another fantastic experience at Tori Tori! The food was incredible. Service was attentive. You can't beat the ambience. This is truly one of my favorite experiences on Mills. To drink, I got the Saturn, which is my absolute favorite. For food, we got the blue crab and corn croquettes, the chimichuri beef skewer, the spicy shrimp skewer, the gyoza, and the Brussels sprouts. Everything was hot and fresh. All the flavors were popping. The food came out in a good progression. This is always a solid experience.

    I went to Tori Tori with my friends on a Wednesday night. We purposely went on a Wednesday to avoid a wait and any issues with parking. The parking situation is not great. It's a small lot and you do have to pay to park however, Tori Tori will validate parking for a few hours, which is nice. Because it was a Wednesday we were lucky enough to find a booth with a large table. Tori Tori is an interesting concept because you seat yourself, you order yourself and you get drinks yourself. They do have a wait staff that brings food to your table, but everything is self serve. You have to go up to the bar to order anything you want and get the check. All of the food is tapas style. We ordered quite a bit, including chicken meatballs, garlic fried rice, avocado, brussels sprouts, mushrooms, Korean fried chicken and the Wagyu dumplings. The standouts were the mushrooms and the brussel sprouts both of which were very savory and the brussel sprouts also had a little bit of sweetness. Overall, the food is good, but for a Michelin restaurant, I was pretty disappointed. I don't think it lives up to the hype. The food is just okay and personally, I think there's better tapas in Orlando, such as Bulla.

    Fantastic cocktails and service. Dalton and the team behind the bar are so friendly and all have a passion for craft cocktails. Not sure what to order? Trust them. Tell them what you like or don't like and they will create something (perhaps even off the menu). They do have a happy hour menu as well. Looking forward to visiting again!

    A very very popular bar in the small neighborhood block that has a lot of solid Asian food options. We went around 8:30pm and you have to be 21+ after 9pm - no problem we are 21+, but on a Friday, despite that, there was a queue to even get in. It was about 15 minute wait to ID check, and then it is an open seating format with booths being in super high demand (we didn't bother - we saw multiple parties just asking people who are almost done to claim one booth at a time - wouldn't be the vibe to feel rushed and looked at constantly the duration of our visit) - so we just grabbed some seats at the bar which is a lot more relaxing and I can see the bartenders do their craft. There was ample space for the 3 of us and the drinks come out decently fast despite being so slammed. We tried a variety of cocktails - Under the Sun - very fragrant ube - if you love ube, definitely recommend - Coconut Shinobi - mostly very strong, but not super impressed as it's basically a pineapple tiki drink - Golden Hour - quite unique - apparent sesame flavor but very easy to drink - Ichigo Ichie - feels more like a gin and tonic but with a slight spicy kick - São Paulo - apparent pandan flavor and well balanced We also got crab fried rice which is fantastic - a bit on the salty side but super umami Service is good even without factoring in how slammed the bar was. I appreciated the timeliness and dedication to filling water and checking up on us at times during our 2 hr stay. This is a fantastic cocktail bar that has both amazing Asian fusion cocktails and food. I'd recommend going earlier than later since the line can be quite long. My friend showed up later around 9:30pm and had to wait 30 minutes as the seating is completely full and they cannot accommodate skipping the line if another group has open seats for them. When we left at 10:30, the line was much longer than when my friend arrived so it could look like a 1+ hour queue just to get in.

    I've been wanting to try Tori Tori for a while, and it did not disappoint. It's always packed, but once you understand the concept, it's actually part of the experience...no hostess, you just grab a seat if one opens up, which gives it a really cool, laid back lounge vibe. The space is perfect whether you're going for drinks or a full bite. Everything we tried was honestly amazing. The wagyu gyoza were the best I've ever had, and the lamb was super flavorful. The crispy chicken was also a standout; so good. Drinks were just as impressive. I had the floral cocktail and it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet. No complaints at all, great energy, great food, great drinks. Definitely worth the wait.

    Tori Tori is such a vibe from the moment you walk up. The ambience is moody in the best way, intimate without feeling cramped, and perfect for everything from date night to catching up with friends over cocktails. The food absolutely delivers. Every dish feels intentional and beautifully plated. The yakitori is flavorful and cooked perfectly with that slight char that makes each bite addictive. The small plates like the lamb chops and crab fried rice are perfect for sharing so you can try a little bit of everything. Even the cocktails are crafted like art, creative but not overpowering, and they pair so well with the menu. The service truly elevates the experience. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Tori Tori is more than just dinner, it is an experience. They earned every single Michelin star. I will absolutely be back!

    TORI TORI didn't live up to the hype for me. It's a super trendy place, not conducive to conversation due to loudness inside. More of a happy hour hangout more than anything else. I went with my family on a Thursday night to celebrate my birthday. I saw the restaurant featured on "Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman", which piqued my interest. None of the food wowed me, though. My family agreed. We've been to Japan and the fare here doesn't hold a candle, not to sound pompous :/ The seafood tower is absolutely not worth $70. My favorite thing from it was the fresh chips and dip. Although the shrimp were a good size, as a whole none of it was special. As for other items, a favorite for my daughter was the Flamin' Hot Corn. I knew what to expect for the ordering process. It was easy enough to approach the bar and do so. Items came out in reasonable timing. The staff circulating is great about bussing the table. Good luck reading that small print menu, though. The soft lighting doesn't help either.

    Awesome spot for a night out with friends. Strong drinks, great service at the bar as well. Loved all the skewers we got, especially the curry chicken and steak. Fun ambiance, would be an awesome spot for a second or third date

    If I can give 10 stars, I will!!! Been here a lot of times. Quick service! One of my favorite spots to chill and have fun in Orlando. They have good food & drinks! Always a nice experience! I love the music, ambiance and their FRIED CHICKEN! Worth to try and highly recommended! Indeed, Michelin Guide Restaurant!

    I always enjoy the drinks , food and ambience of Tori Tori. I enjoy their HH and I also love popping in for a nice date night. Most recently I enjoyed my favorite drink the (COCONUT SHINOBI†) it's a limit of 2 for this drink and one of these is enough & gets me in a very good mood! The service here is a shared responsibility you have to go to the bar and place an order & if you want to keep your tab open just let them know. The food is tapa style and comes out quickly and if you can get the attention of the bartender you grab your drinks while you're dropping off your paper for your food order . I ordered the fried chicken and my favorite is def the beef steak. We also ordered the BLUE CRAB & CORN CROQUETTES, crab rice, FLAMIN' HOT CORN, & pork rinds with pimento cheese. Overall we had a great night . We paid for parking and once inside they have a QR code you can scan to validate parking for 4 hours , but unfortunately it wouldn't update for me so you may want to scan before you pay.

    Noir Bar is definitely one of my top BARS to visit on my short list of bars I enjoy immensely. I've…read morebeen coming since it opened, and I really cannot say I've been disappointed. The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.

    After months of anticipation... I finally made it to Alfie's…read more It was exactly what I was hoping it would be: a slice of culture. Real people. Real life. Real youth. Real energy. Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list. Go after 9 or 10 PM and plan to stay for at least two hours. That's when you really see the scene develop and come alive. Bring your ID: they card at the door. Even at my age, I still get carded. No complaining about that ! lol

It evokes another era, the 1930s and 1940s, a hidden place where people escaped reality for a few hours and where every whispered conversation felt a little more dangerous than it should. There is something about saying the name out loud that feels almost mischievous. Even before stepping inside, it conjures images of old Hollywood glamour, forbidden romance, and the kind of longing that filled classic films. The sort of place where people met not because they had to, but because they couldn't stay away. The space itself more than lives up to the promise of its name. Death in the Afternoon is one of the most visually interesting places Orlando has to offer. It feels intimate, mysterious, and wonderfully removed from the ordinary. I couldn't help but think of The Great Gatsby, not because of excess or extravagance, but because of that same sense of romance, possibility, and yearning for something just out of reach. In fact, I visited twice in the same afternoon. My first stop was simply to satisfy my curiosity and see if the reality matched the image I had built up in my head. It did. So after completing the rest of my three-hour Mills 50 walk, I found myself drawn back for a meal and a chance to enjoy the atmosphere a little longer. The menu is limited, so choose wisely. The salmon entrée was excellent and easily the standout of my meal. The Caesar salad was pleasant enough, but the salmon is what I would come back for. As a perfect ending to the day, a dear longtime Yelp colleague joined me and we spent some time catching up on the latest news and gossip in our circles. Good conversation, a memorable meal, and an atmosphere that feels like it belongs to another time. Death in the Afternoon is not just a restaurant. It's the kind of place that stays on your mind long after you've left. Make sure your stay is not over 2 hours tho ..

From fresh flowers on the tables to purse hooks on the bar, and fresh fruit garnishes, you can tell the Luminescent team is truly committed to providing a great customer experience.

    This was my second visit to Lamp & Shade, and it definitely won't be my last…read more The service was excellent from start to finish, and the atmosphere is exactly what I look for in a night out. The vibe is laid-back, the music is at a good volume, and it's a great place to enjoy dinner and drinks without feeling rushed. To start, we ordered the croquettes and the Caesar salad bites. The croquettes were very good and something I would absolutely order again. The Caesar salad bites, however, completely stole the show. They were insane and are a must-order every time I come back. For our entrees, we ordered the rigatoni and the chicken. This was my second time getting the rigatoni, and it was just as good as I remembered. Rich, flavorful, and easily one of my favorite dishes on the menu. The chicken was also very good and cooked well. That said, if you're looking for a protein entrée, I'd still recommend the tomahawk. My group ordered it on my first visit, and it's still one of the best dishes I've had here. The cocktails were excellent as well. I started with the Forbidden Bloom, which was fantastic. I also tried the Split Personality (Not pictured). It wasn't my favorite, but that's more a reflection of my taste since I'm not much of a whiskey drinker. I've also had the espresso martini on a previous visit, and it was phenomenal. Overall, Lamp & Shade continues to impress. Great service, excellent food, creative cocktails, and an atmosphere that keeps me coming back. Easily one of my favorite spots in the Mills area.

This is not a sports bar, and I specifically chose it for a date because I expected a more relaxed atmosphere. Once the match ended, things improved and we could finally talk, but the place is still very loud overall. The cocktails were pretty basic, especially for $16 each. They weren't bad, but they lacked any creativity or presentation to justify the price. We sat at the bar, and I have to say the service was good. One more downside: there's no self-parking, only valet. It's $5, which isn't terrible, but it's still an inconvenience. Overall, the atmosphere felt too chaotic for what I was expecting, and I wouldn't come back.
