Restaurants Off-Site

[Casajencol]

Hi, we are staying in and around International Drive from the 26/9 and for the past few weeks ive been searching to find the best rated and must visit Restaurants. I wondered if anyone has any experience or personal opinions of great places to eat, that dont break the bank and sell exceptional food.

Any ideas for for restaurants that are top quality for an anniversary dinner also would be appreciated (price isnt so much of an issue here)

I-Drive, especially up by the convention center, isn't a bad choice to go looking for dinner. The Dr. Phillips area in particular has a pretty nice set of restaurants. People on expense accounts are willing to eat better than tourists.

One place up there I want to try, but have not had the chance to:

If you drive down International Drive and the Restaurant Row section of Dr.Phillips which is on Sand Lake rd. on the north side of I-4 you're guaranteed to find several good places to eat,as everything from the upscale to the fast food casual is available.

We stayed not too far from that area in May. Here is a thread I created prior to our departure on my research on local eateries.

After visiting them first-hand, I was blown away by Texas De Brazil (sign up for their site and get a 25 percent discount). Also really liked Bonefish and their Wednesday night bang shrimp.

Dr. Phillips area is great. Every place we ate at was better than most of the high end Disney restaurants (except CaliGrill and Citricos).

Our favorite: Moon Fish. A tad pricey, but so good.

Roys is super good.

Seasons52 was excellent - did lunch there; great flatbreads!

Two restaurants on I Drive that I like are 1) Maggiano, italian cuisine 2) The Capital Grille, american steakhouse. Both are on I Drive in the Pointe Orlando area near the convention center.
