[Tea Please]

We were in the world for 10 days in early June. We were treated to a very special dinner by one of my husband's associates. It was by far the best dining experience we have had in Orlando and perhaps anywhere.

We took a towncar and arrived around 7:30. This place is amazing. Upscale and chic but the waitstaff is not at all pretentious. There were seven of us total and it was a very leisurely paced meal. We were there an easy three hours. The views are incredible as is the food.

DH and I both had lobster bisque which was superb. A little differant than the ordinary bisque but in a good way.

I had a spinach salad and DH had a duck appetizer.

My entree was filet mingon which was cooked perfectly and Dh had lamb in phyllo w/ spincah. The presentation was beautiful and he enjoyed it immensly.

I don't recall what the other diners had, but all agreed that it was one the best meals ever.

We each had a chocolate torte for dessert and a differant sorbet. I had the orange cream and DH had coconut. All were excellent.

We had 4 bottles of wine thruout the meal.

I can only imagine what the bill was

All in all an excellent meal, great food, great views, great company. This place cannot be beat.

Where, exactly is this? In a hotel, in Orlando? I don't go off property too much but it sound heavenly!

DH also dined there last week!! He loved it. It's at the top of the Bank America building downtown Orlando. He had a spinach salad and the filet. No dessert. He really wasn't feeling well all week and had to make himself eat. The view was great according to him. He would not say it was the best dining he's ever had but he did enjoy it!
He is very partial to Disney dining experiences.

It's at the top of the Bank America building downtown Orlando.

It is run by the same group of people that run the "Pebbles" chain in Florida.
