I am going to second my two favorites previously mentioned.
For a modest priced chain place we love Sweet Tomatoes. We used to have these where we live. But many restaurants have closed including the two that used to be close to our home, so hitting this favorite of ours is a special treat. It's also very reasonably priced. There is more than one location. Here are trip advisor reviews (very good - received Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence) for both locations: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaur...9-Reviews-Sweet_Tomatoes-Orlando_Florida.html and https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaur...8-Reviews-Sweet_Tomatoes-Orlando_Florida.html
For a special dinner that is going to be closer price wise to a Disney table service, we love the small plates place Café Tu Tu Tango. Local artists and a taro card reader are there too, so it can be a really fun evening. Someone else already posted this, but here is their website again. Take a peek and see if this might interest you. I can highly recommend. My nephew who lives in Orlando recommended this place to me and I thought it was an excellent recommendation. http://cafetututango.com/
Here are trip advisor reviews (another place with a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence which does not surprise me in the least): https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaur...Reviews-Cafe_Tu_Tu_Tango-Orlando_Florida.html
Also, here is another chain (more expensive - closer to Disney table service prices) that is a favorite of my son who is a picky eater that my husband and I like too and take him to for special occasions (the one near our home): Maggianos at Pointe Orlando. It's a good Italian restaurant. Trip Advisor reviews: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaur...-Maggiano_s_Little_Italy-Orlando_Florida.html -- Interesting -- it has a Trip Advisor certificate of excellence too. I haven't actually been to this one yet (have only been to the one at home). But we are taking my nephew who live in Orlando out for dinner one night on our next Disney trip, and DS very easily talked me into this place for that dinner.
