The District GastroBar has an innovative design that starts in the restaurant's entrance, a well ­curated modern speak easy with a nostalgic vintage ambiance and an eclectic array of "one ­off" pieces of Prohibition and 1940 era inspired artwork. Walk past the restaurants front door, guests encounter a antique bronze tin ceiling wrapped around historic 1900 brick, custom vintage lighting, but only the adventurous will discover all that The District GastroBar has to offer. With a distinct dining room, grandiose bar layout, an open air patio and a women’s bathroom complete with a salon inspired feel and antique perfume bottles. The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course. Chef Lamond Cooper and menu creator Andre Walton have adapted to the new shared plate dining trend that has swept the nation, and with The District GastroBar menu, they have created waves on the food scene better known as GASTRONOMY!

    Service was not so great especially the checking in for reservation and seating. Made a reservation, but waited for 45 to get seated and then about 65-75 min for our food. We were beyond frustrated, but the food was amazing! Not worth the wait and will definitely pick a different restaurant next time we’re in Orlando.

    Good food. Nice servers but bar is VERY slow. Note they will not take cash and charge a 20% tip on every bill that you cannot remove!

    Food did not seem to be fresh made. Tasted like leftovers. Low quality gumbo and lobster rolls.

    Great service, just a little short on choice for me personally on the Brunch Menu but what we did have was really good.

    Good food, close to the KIA center. I would have preferred a real plate instead of a piece of slate for a plate. Pimento burger was good but way messy.

    Very good location if you are headed to an Orlando City game, however service level fairly low (servers not very attentive) and food is just mediocre- some items are very salty, etc. Overall an ‘ok’ experience.

    For a restaurant near the Kia center, they are inadequately staffed. Food is mediocre.

    The place was crowded with few servers. The food was mediocre at best and overpriced. Service was lacking at best which is annoying given the automatic 20% added to each check.
