Booked 29 times today
Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails is Mills area’s newest dining and nightlife concept. Playfully yet eloquently named, Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails got its inspiration from the idea to ‘hangout and throw some shade in conversation’ while paying homage to the history of its building, previously The Lamp Shade Fair, well-known by locals for over 50 years. The Asian-influenced tapas style menu showcases seasonal and local provisions of the Orlando community in innovative dishes that Executive Chef for Thriving Hospitality, Ryan Stewart, has meticulously developed.Lamp & Shade's comprehensive beverage program features riffs on tiki classics tying back to the influential Asian roots of cocktails, pairing nicely with Chef’s selection of Asian inspired faire.

    My family and I love going to Kobe’s for dinner. We’ve been to multiple locations. Tonight we had Chef Wee, we had an amazing dinner. Everything was perfectly cooked tonight perfection. He’s hilarious and puts on a great show to keep the table entertained. If you’re in the Orlando area stop by and see him at the Kirkman location. You won’t regret it.

    It was really nice the food was great!!!! Music was a little loud, service was a little slow but they gave us a free desert to make up for it!!! The price was too high! It’s just a regular Mexican restaurant.

    We had a lovely dinner at Tu Tus with family. The bites are delicous and staff is attentive and friendly. The steak skewers and ribs are some of our favorites. If your not sure what to get try the Tour of Tu Tus. This way you get a chance to sample multi dishes and get desert as well! If you have room that is. Highly recommend making reservationa as it gets very busy.

    This might just be my new favorite restaurant! Open bar means you can have almost any drink crafted, I got a blueberry mojito because it's an old favorite that nobody could make at the last 20 restaurants I've been to, and these guys just made it custom! Amazing food, all from scratch, you can tell the quality in every bite. And the price? WOW. I highly recommend the family dining option. At 40 a person, you get to share 5 different entrees and a salad of your choice. PHENOMENAL service, ambiance, and art! The ceilings were adorned in Italian Renaissance paintings, long red velvet curtains decorated the windows. I will be back. Best Italian food I've ever had. Bless her soul, my ma would have loved this place.

    This was our first time but not our last one at this very eclectic and fine food venue. We were having a date pre Valentine's and I am so glad I came upon this place. From the kind and attentive welcome and service to the imaginative and delicious recipes, we truly enjoyed ourselves and will be back as well as spread the word. Everything was so tasty but especially the green curry mussels, I still thinking about it. Unpretentious, fun and delicious,my kind of place.
