We had excellent meat service! I was honestly impressed. I love my meats rare, and to the best of their ability, they actually took the time to bring rare cuts to our table. I really appreciated that. I personally preferred this location over I-drive! I had a better experience here. Exceptional attention to detail. Thank you for making our birthday celebration special!

We dined on the patio and enjoyed watching the sun set over the lake The sandwiches- the blackened grouper and the prime rib were flavorful and the seasonal Pineapple Blonde Beer was refreshing. The key lime pie was just OK- we prefer less whip cream and more key lime custard Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and we would go back.

    Came here for brunch and had a great experience. While there was a slight mix-up with my order, the manager stepped in immediately to make things right and generously took it off the bill. Outstanding customer service like that is hard to find! On top of that, the food was excellent. We highly recommend them and will definitely be back for dinner soon.

    American Kitchen | Renaissance Orlando Resort & Spa Great Food, Wonderful Hospitality, and Those Prawns! Oh, Those Prawns! After spending long days working in Orlando, American Kitchen, located just off the lobby of the Renaissance Orlando Resort & Spa, became our little sanctuary. A good cocktail, a delicious meal, friendly service, and wonderful conversation. Sometimes that's exactly what you need to unwind after a demanding day. And let me tell you, we certainly ate our way through this menu! Over the course of our stay, we sampled everything from the bao buns and bacon clothesline (what a presentation!) to the Floridian salad, tomato salad, and black squid ink pasta loaded with seafood. There were some genuinely impressive dishes coming out of this kitchen. But the absolute showstopper? The head-on prawn scampi! Good heavens, those prawns were enormous! Beautifully presented, swimming in an absolutely delicious garlic sauce, and accompanied by toasted bread that was perfect for soaking up every last drop. This was one of those dishes that makes you stop talking for a moment and appreciate what's in front of you. I enjoyed it so much that on a couple of evenings, I ordered nothing more than the scampi and a salad. Perfection! The coffee-crusted steak was another standout. Beautifully prepared, wonderfully flavorful, and paired with broccolini. A satisfying meal that absolutely delivered. One morning, when my work schedule allowed for a leisurely breakfast, I enjoyed brunch with a colleague. What a treat! The Belgian-style Liège waffles, with their signature pearl sugar, were delightful, and the eggs Benedict and fresh-squeezed orange juice made for a lovely start to the day. It's not often I get to slow down and enjoy breakfast while traveling for work, so I appreciated every minute. I also had an opportunity to dine poolside, where the steak nachos were delicious. I even traded my usual Sidecar cocktail for Tito's vodka and freshly squeezed grapefruit j
