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.

The brunch experience was better. The menu for dinner is less creative although the food was good. Wait staff was very nice but clearly they staff was not managing a party and regular service at the same time very well at all. Not a terrible experience but not worth the money spent.

The food was great. Loved the ambiance and thought the noise was going to be a bit loud initially but was pleasantly surprised we didn’t have to raise our voices to talk across the table. We had the noodles, the Ceaser salad bites, short ribs, and mussels. Every dish was actually very good, but the Ceaser salad bites were our fav top two.

Was a good experience. We will repeat and phoenix the server was great and very attentive. The food, everything we tried was delicious. No complaints about anything and we were cold because the ac was over us and they open the windows and set the ac comfortably and the same the music because when we came in was kind of loud and we were a big group kind of hard to hear but they spoiled us. Definitely I will recommend it and wants to go back soon. I’m a trustworthy reviewer because I’m so realistic and picky

We had a great night at Lamp and Shade. Our server, Alvin, was fantastic. Everything we ordered was delicious. And even though the restaurant had a partial buyout the service and pace of food was perfect. We will definitely be back!

Great food and atmosphere and service. Really neat place. A tad on the pricey side. You've got to watch how much you order but overall we'd highly recommend this place
