Best Live Music Restaurants in Doctor Phillips

What can I say about this place that others probably haven't already or that i may not have already. This is hands down one of the best restaurants, if not the best, in the Orlando area. Are you going to spend money here, absolutely. Is the money worth it, once again absolutely. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by a friendly, professional staff who take pride in their jobs. The tables are set perfectly and look immaculate. Within moments the staff are at table side to introduce themselves and get you started on drinks. They come with recommendations, specials, and additions. They pay attention to your questions, body language and requests. They offer alternatives, discuss changes and truly seem like they care. The food, oh the food, seriously, the attention to detail, the portion size and presentation are seriously on par with top restaurants from NY. However, the taste is something else. This food is to quote my SO, "just magical". Each course is better than the previous IMO. I order extra if things sometimes "off menu" if they have it just to bring home. I order two sometimes, so I do not have to share. As well, the accordion player walking to each table to play a song is such a classy and sweet touch. Finally, the manager comes and touches each table to speak to the guests. It creates a warmth and a sense of older restaurants where you want to slow down and savor each moment. I honestly cannot say enough.

It was my first time at this restaurant on Valentine’s Day at 9pm. It was a wonderful experience with delicious apps/salad bar and unlimited cuts of meat. Our waiter, Walter, was very attentive and would regularly ask if we wanted any specific meats. Within 2-3 minutes, a server would be there to deliver. My girlfriend was impressed by the food and atmosphere and inquired about hosting a corporate meeting. She also appreciated that staff were willing to take a couple of pictures. Valet was a nice plus. I’m glad I chose Chima for this date night and look forward to visiting in the future.

We celebrated Valentine’s dinner here, and every moment was exceptional. The drinks, appetizers, and entrées were all exquisitely prepared, showcasing a delightful blend of flavors. The service was impeccable—from the warm welcome at the door to the attentive care provided by our server. Even though I hadn’t reserved an outdoor table, they kindly accommodated us, making the evening even more special. I would definitely return for another memorable dining experience.

We frequent Vines as we live in the area and it’s always really good whether for lunch, dinner, or happy hour. The meals we had last night were among the best we’ve had there. I had the orange thyme salmon and my husband had the snapper. Of course we added the lobster mac. Also had lamb lollipops as an appetizer. Everything was delicious!

This was one of the best Valentines dinners we have had. They gave a free glass of champagne upon arriving and a long stem red rose when we left all for no extra charge. It’s things like this that makes this restaurant stand out from others. Also the staff was super attentive and friendly. Food was delicious as always.
