Restaurant off site for Birthday Celebration

[crazyfordisney2000]

Originally we were going to go to Cali Grill for my DH birthday, but with all the bad reviews of overpriced crappy food, my husband wants to try someplace off site. We've been to Citricos twice and loved it, but want to try something different. We are looking for something on the fun side, we do appreciate good food, we were looking for something at least a step up from burgers and fries. We don't eat seafood , there are 4 of us, myself, DH, DS 9yrs and DD 7 yrs. Recommendations? TIA

My best suggestion would be Season's 52 on Sand Lake Road http://www.seasons52.com/locations/Orlando2.asp. They are not a family restaurant, by any means, but you could certainly bring your young ones here if they are well behaved. I have been to the one closer to my home for many special occasions and have never been disappointed.

Another good suggestion would be Bahama Breeze which is a little more informal, colorful and "fun" for kids. I don't mean to imply that Season's 52 is not fun, stuffy or formal because it's not. It's just a tiny bit more "adult". Advance reservations are a good idea and shorts & flip flops are a no-no.

P.S. Cali = Columbia, not California.
