Love this place
May 27, 2014Every visit to Orlando's has been fantastic for us! The food is outstanding and the service can't beat. In the summer, dinner on the patio, people watching and drinking wine is one of my favourite things to do. A must try at Orlando's is the private stock port...yum!

so sad it's gone
May 27, 2014Orlando's has been a favourite of ours for many years. The meals are excellent, we always just let Arnold cook whatever seafood is fresh that day. Have never been disappointed. Unfortunately, it has closed as of Oct. 2014, will follow Arnold to any other establishment he decides to open.

Great Seafood
January 09, 2014
Loved the fried shrimp and fresh fish of the day.
Everthing was prepared and presented very nicely.
Service was really good and the prices are very reasonable
for fish.
We will return one day soon.

Good but not great
December 10, 2013I'm kind of shocked that this restaurant is rated number 1. At the end of my meal I felt like I had had a nice wedding dinner. Good potatoes and meat, nice salad but really nothing exceptional. We had some steak that was super undercooked and chewy. The seafood was good, and the bread they served before the meal was... more

Arrogant owner serves bad food
October 14, 2013I took my mom out for a special bday dinner. This was anything but that. It began with not having the Alaskan king crab I had specifically called in advance to confirm. We then waited 1.5 hr with no service whatsoever only to be served mediocre pasta which we did not order or want. The owner was notified before, day of, and upon seating our request for king crab. Obviously pasta is not king... more

False advertising
September 03, 2013This place has a big Tripadvisor sign near their entrance suggesting that they've been ranked the city's "number-one restaurant." Don't believe it. As the *real* reviews on Urbanspoon and elsewhere make clear, this place is passable at best. Yes, it's been a long-time fixture on the Corydon Avenue restaurant circuit, but it's anything but excellent. If you value honest business practices, dine... more

September 01, 2013I been here a few times & You still don't get what you pay for at this restaurant. Salad was loaded with salt & uneatable. Appetizers were a joke & my main coarse was overcooked & not sure if they didn't have enough ingredients but the cook kept pushing the chefs special after I told him I didn't want that. Place is dark & grimy & pricy. Not impressed!!! So many other great restaurants could be... more

Exceptional attention and service
May 27, 2013
The four of us went for dinner and told the waiter that we were hungry, not in a hurry and could eat anything. We were brought a 6 course meal that included fresh fish, beef, appetizer, soup, salad and desert. Wonderful flavours and not overbearing.
Small place though so make sure you reserve. It's worth it!!!

May 17, 2013This place probably doesn't have amazing ratings because of the style of restaurant experience it gives you. Go here if you want a small, family-run, feel, and most importantly, are not in a rush. You never feel like you are waiting but If you do the chef special which is the best way to go, you get about 4 or 5 courses. If you are in good company and want to just enjoy a relaxing and very... more

May 11, 2013I think part of the reason why the chef's special was so delicious has to do with how there's perfectly small portions of everything to let you sample prawns, fish, steak, etc!

Great food and service......but no Portuguese wine
April 27, 2013It has been a while since I last ate at Orlando's but it was as I remembered......delicious. The only negative for me was no Portuguese red wine on the menu! Besides that, service was great, good explanation of all the appetizers and entrees as they came out and of course, delicious food.
