There are three main tenets of their mission: source, service, and style.

Neighborhood: West Orlando

If your partner is one of those people who’s always wanted to go to a high-end restaurant where the chef will come out to talk to you about your meal but never had the chance to, this is your chance to impress them.

Chef’s Table at Edgewater, located just a few minutes drive away from all of the theme parks scattered throughout Orlando, offers you one of those dining experiences that would be almost impossible to pass up on.

Whether you’ve made a reservation to enjoy a prepared meal in the dining room or you’re just dropping by to enjoy some tapas and drinks in the tasting room, the chef here at Chef’s Table at Edgewater loves to come out and talk to guests about the food he’s prepared. You’ll even have the chance to peek your head around the corner of the dining room to see the kitchen in action!

Nona Blue Modern Tavern

 Website: nonablue.com

Address: 9685 Lake Nona Village Pl, Orlando, FL 32827

Neighborhood: Lake Nona

The best romantic settings are all about the lighting. Most certifiably romantic restaurants will take the typical lighting of a restaurant and dim the switches until there’s just enough light to feel like you and your date are surrounded by a warm glow of firelight.

Here at Nona Blue Modern Tavern, however, they’ve taken this standard of dim lighting and turned it blue! That’s right: not only will you be treated to the quiet and romantic ambiance of dim lights while you enjoy your meal together, but you’ll also be bathed in blue at the same time.

A lot of the food on their menu isn’t exactly what you’d call fork-and-knife food, but that doesn’t make it any less delicious. Enjoy their beloved French Quarter Penne Pasta Bowl or tuck your napkin into the collar of your shirt to enjoy a veggie burger.

“The ambience inside and outside this business is absolutely beautiful. It was calm, elegant, and sophisticated - cozy and dim lighting any time of day.” - Yelp Review

A Land Remembered

Address: 9939 Universal Blvd, Orlando, FL 32819

Is your date someone who notoriously loves literature and anything relating to literature? Well, what better place would there be to bring them for your date than a restaurant that is entirely themed after a piece of literature.

Whether you’ve read A Land Remembered or not, this restaurant is the quintessential experience for anyone who’s ever wanted to enjoy a meal set in the same place that their favorite book is set in.

Named after a book of the same title, A Land Remembered uses fresh and exquisite ingredients to create meals reminiscent of the ones featured in the novel’s early frontier Floridian setting. You can enjoy some of the best beef that Florida has to offer here, as well as fresh seafood that will make your mouth water as soon as you read about it on the menu.

“If you are looking for an exquisite steak for dinner this is the place to go to. A fancy restaurant good for a special occasion or just in the mood for a good steak kinda night.” - Yelp Review
