Strand - Orlando

Cute, intimate restaurant. Amazing service wine! The majority of the food we ordered was very good (the pasta Nero and the shrimp appetizers were delicious! we also liked the beef special and the warm pretzel was good. For entrees the Alabama chicken was actually probably the table favorite great take on southern food. The coffee rub sirloin was probably my second favorite, the red snapper was okay, was expecting way more flavor. Both desserts were delicious!

It wasn't disappointing but def underwhelming. The servers were great. This place I believe used to be the British breakfast diner on Mills. And it's still like a diner inside. I consider $25-$40 an entree casual fine dining. So it's kind of disconcerting to have to have coasters under the leg to keep the table from wobbling. That I can honestly deal with.Out of 6 main entrees, they were out of 3. Out of 5 draft beers, they were out of 3. And also out of 2 of the desserts. At 7pm. So theres that.The appetizer was the best part. The tortellini pasta was creamy almost because the consistency was so great. The burger was good, pretty basic. I went with the Alabama chicken because they were out of what we came for. The white sauce was pretty awesome. The chicken was a little dry. The fried mac and cheese was very dry.So for two entrees, one appetizer, 3 drinks and a bill for $123(w/tip) I feel like there's better places to go not too far away. I've def had way worse food. Maybe we hit them on an off night.

Great experience! Everything was delicious and the service was wonderful. Highly recommend the pork belly and the crispy brussel and apple salad.

Excellent menu selection and food quality. Great service. I really like how they use local small businesses and farms to source their ingredients. Highly recommend.Food: 5/5

Would recommend. The place is small and has a wonderful ambiance. Service is good and menu is inventive and fun. Was very impressed by the food and the portion size was perfect. Getting a reservation last minute was tough but with some effort successful. Looks like you can book a little further out without issue. This is a little gem and worth the money. Will be going back!
