First visit with my wife for our anniversary. Everything was first class. The facility, the staff, the food. Magic Kingdom fireworks at 8:00pm was awesome. I would highly recommend. Will definitely be back soon!!

About the restaurant

Leave everything behind to enjoy the happiest of hours under palm tree canopies and moon-drenched evening skies at Four Flamingos, an immersive dining and drinking experience reminiscent of a dreamy tropical oasis.

Acclaimed chef and beloved television personality, Richard Blais, combines the memory of vintage eras with the bounty of Florida to create a treasure-packed menu of the fresh-caught surf and fire-grilled turf variety. The raw seafood on ice, lush and colorful interior, and refreshing cocktail creations set the daily mood to breezy and carefree.

For wanderers, Four Flamingos is the perfect place to linger and libate; for locals, it’s a sweet escape and familiar favorite. For guests of all ages in search of a good time, there's always room here for one more.

The menu has changed and so has the venue name to The Nectar Room. Haven kitchen is now called Garni. Not a fan of either of those names. Don’t know why they messed with a good thing. Menu was not very tasty. Tried the shrimp and the bread with Gruyère cheese. Don’t recommend it. Cocktails are still good spicy margarita was very tasty but definitely pricey considering the amount of ice in the drink. Live DJ was good. They’ve had better.

Absolutely incredible experience! Our wait staff, Julian, Miguel and Santana were amazing. The food was 10/10, service was impeccable and we were treated so kindly from start to finish. It was for my mom’s birthday and they made her feel so special. Can’t wait to return next year!!

Wonderful evening with service by George. On his recommendation, my wife and I shared the meatball appetizer which was wonderful. We then shared the lobster pasta which was also exquisite. Finished it off with the cannoli dessert. Best we’ve ever had. All great!

Everything was soooo delicious! We ordered the mussels, the vegan rice cakes, chicken wings, and the bok choy for starters and everything was amazing! Entrées included the lobster, lamb, and the beef stew as well as the vegan noodles. I had a couple of picky eaters with me and they loved everything!
