When it comes to dining in Orlando, you have no shortage of options. But rather than waste time (and calories) eating inside the theme parks, savvy visitors are taking their cue from the locals and heading over to what’s known as Restaurant Row on Sand Lake Road.
This ritzy neighborhood of Dr. Phillips provides plenty of high-end dining for those seeking to elevate their palates. You’ll find it close to the Orange County Convention Center between Disney and Universal where there are acclaimed local establishments as well as a few esteemed chains.
Deciding which of them to choose might prove difficult though. It’s best to pack a few nice outfits to suit the mood of these upscale eateries for the nights you plan on dining on the Row. Of course, attire is far easier to choose than which place to dine.
Those seeking steak will find plenty of it. Among the prevalent steakhouses on this swatch of Sand Lake Road, Morton’s The Steakhouse was among the first to carve out a spot on this prized landscape. Known across the country, it’s no less phenomenal here in Orlando.
It’s one of many to land a juicy, perfectly-cooked steak, though if you’re looking for other styles of cuisine, you’ll surely find them. Chatham’s Place serves continental cuisine and has been one of the fine-dining restaurants of choice for both locals and visitors to Orlando since 1988. With a menu that boasts duck, lamb, fish, and decadent desserts, it sticks to the classics and churns them out with precision perfection.
For Italian, Christini’s Ristorante Italiano is the place where dignitaries have dined. Not only has it dominated Restaurant Row for over 45 years but it also has a world-class atmosphere, food, and service. Every woman reserves a rose at the end of her meal too, making for a lovely finishing touch on a truly romance-worthy meal.
Aside from steaks, Italian, and continental, you’ll also find sushi restaurants, Mexican, seafood, Indian, Hawaiian flair, Southern and Italian fusion, and plenty more. Selections of cocktails, beer, and wine abound too so there is always something to raise your glasses with, no matter where you wind up dining for the evening.
As Restaurant Row is incredibly popular, you should always make reservations ahead of time. Then you can truly enjoy your fine dining experience without a care in the world until the check comes! But life is too short to go without an extra indulgence here and there. After all, why come to Orlando if you’re not going to get the most out of your experience? The restaurants on Sand Lake Road provide some of the best food and dining experiences in the city and are worth every bite of your attention. Make sure you get your taste while you’re in town!
