Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Ponce Inlet

This was our first time dining at Kres Chophouse. While costly it was well worth the price. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Environment was sleek and cozy. It’s a great option for a mid size group or an intimate night for two. Would definitely come back.

I've been struggling to find a good brunch spot in Orlando lately— being a tourist hub many places feel gimmicky. Not Tap Room. I've been here several times for dinner and always leave satisfied, so when I heard they offered brunch, I had to give it a try. For a more upscale location, I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable the prices were, especially considering the great value of their meals. I had a couple of drinks and tried the Salmon BLT—a bold and creative concept that works. My girlfriend opted for the waffle with chicken tenders, and the tenders were perfectly cooked: flavorful, not too greasy, and just the right amount of crispy. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Our server, Kenny, was attentive and friendly, making the visit even better. Highly recommend!

Jeannie is always wonderful at the bar! We love sitting with her as her warmth and hospitality is impeccable. Food was amazing and the restaurant buzzing and super busy!! We had a great evening thanks again!

Outstanding. Our lunch was so good that we came back for dinner.

My wife and I debated eating Christmas Eve dinner at home, but at the last minute, I received an email from the Chart House promoting their Christmas dinner prix fixe menu. Mindful of the need to shop and purchase food, prepare it, and then clean up afterward, we opted quickly to dine out. We do frequent the Chart House for special occasions and are never disappointed. This was no different this time. We made an advance reservation on OpenTable, arrived a bit early, and with a minimal wait time, we were seated at our table with the requested window view. Our server, Austin, greeted us and thanked us for dining with him on Christmas Eve. My wife and I both ordered Prosecco cocktails and savored the fresh baked rolls and crackers that were brought to us. My wife opted for the Chilean Sea Bass entree, whereas I selected the filet mignon with grilled shrimp surf and turf. We both selected New England clam chowder as our starter course and the chowder was full of clams, which is rare to find in most chowders that typically have more broth than clams. My wife was delighted with her Sea Bass, and my filet was cooked to perfection with a delectable charred taste that added great flavor to the beef. The shrimp were the jumbo size and totaled six in number, accompanied by what Chart House calls 3 mashed potatoes, which I presume meant a combination of three different types, which were delightful as well. The filet cut was appreciatively large and cooked to perfection. Topping off our dinner, we both enjoyed Chocolate Lava Cake, accompanied by a dollop of vanilla ice cream. It was the perfect dining experience, we had a water view, and it confirmed that our decision to eat out was the best idea of the night. Austin was attentive, and personable and took the time to snap our pictures at the tableside so we would be able to have a permanent record of our delightful evening for many years to come.
