Anyone have a good restaurant recommendation in the Orlando area? I have to go to this area multiple times a year for work and I can't seem to find anything extraordinary here.

Just returned from a great time in Oakland. Oh my the food is amazing.
You must try Blind Tiger and Mua. A true revelation.

I'm not local and there are a lot of really good hole in the wall places I don't know about so if you've got local resources you can tap do it. It's been worth it every time I've been "taken out".

I will say Killen's was worth the trip. It's south of the city. Then again I'm I'm a New Yorker but still.... one or two people may have mentioned I know my way around a brisket. :mrgreen:

If you're ever in downtown Houston I would strongly recommend Brasserie du Parc for French and Andalucia for tapas, along with flaminco dancers on Thursday and Friday nights.

Hi there. Gatlin's is regarded by many as the top joint in the city, but I also like The Brisket House and Virgie's. Goode Company is a local chain that's not too bad. Pappa's BBQ, however, is overpriced for what it is. As Rob said, Killen's is good too, but definitely a ways away.

What kind of food? anything specific? I am around the area and know of various neat places to eat.

I’ve been to the Scottsdale location several times. 5 stars in every way.

I live right near their other place, Land, which is excellent. Near there, have you tried Wondee Siam (any of them). They are very no frills, but awesome.

Columbus, Ohio -

Wolf's Ridge Brewing - It's a brewery but also one of the best restaurants in the city. Great for dinner and brunch.
Watershed - This one is a distillery, but like Wolf's Ridge, also a great restaurant. They also have some serious cocktails.
Meshikou - best Ramen spot in Columbus.
Basi Italia - def need a reservation for this one. Small restaurant situated in an alley in a cool part of town. Seriously good Italian.

These are the go tos for my wife and I! YOu also can't go wrong with any Cameron Mitchell restaurant (Guild House, Marcellas, there are many more...)
