Neighbourhood gem

Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails is Mills area’s newest dining and nightlife concept. Playfully yet eloquently named, Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails got its inspiration from the idea to ‘hangout and throw some shade in conversation’ while paying homage to the history of its building, previously The Lamp Shade Fair, well-known by locals for over 50 years.

The Asian-influenced tapas style menu showcases seasonal and local provisions of the Orlando community in innovative dishes that Executive Chef for Thriving Hospitality, Ryan Stewart, has meticulously developed.

Lamp & Shade's comprehensive beverage program features riffs on tiki classics tying back to the influential Asian roots of cocktails, pairing nicely with Chef’s selection of Asian inspired faire.

Duck breast and squid ink calamari were our favorite. Service was great, loved the strength scale on their specialty drinks. Ambiance was great. A little loud but it fit the vibe.

I love the ambiance at Lampshade, with relaxing chairs around small tables and that spacious bar by the open window. We got a small table by the front window and it's an enjoyable place to relax over some drinks. The service is fast and friendly, but stick with the Happy Hour drinks since otherwise they get pretty expensive. Overall, a fun place.

I loved Lamp and Shade! The ambience was amazing but what made my first time here exquisite was the service I got from Alvin. He was so knowledgeable and very helpful with his recommendations. I will definitely be coming back just for him.
