Location review insights for United States, Restaurants

$35 for tiny pieces of oxtail. lol never again. At some point you’ll have fooled everyone in the Orlando area and you’ll go out of business.

0 Stars - Earlier today, 2/9, around lunchtime, five coworkers and I went to L’amore Restaurant to celebrate a coworker’s birthday. What should have been a simple, happy lunch turned into one of the most horrifying dining experiences I’ve ever had. After taking only two bites of my cheese ravioli, I immediately noticed the texture was off. Then I felt it, a snap and crunch in my mouth. I spit the bite back onto my plate and was horrified to see half of a waterbug or large cockroach mixed in with my food. Using my fingers, I pulled what was still in my mouth out onto the plate and found roach legs, part of the head, and a visible antenna. I had already swallowed part of it. Yes. I ingested part of a waterbug. My coworkers inspected the plate and confirmed exactly what I feared. This wasn’t a mistake. It was absolutely a large waterbug. We immediately alerted the waiter. His response? He looked at the plate, then looked at me in a way that strongly suggested he believed we planted it ourselves. No concern. No apology. No “are you okay?” He simply grabbed the plate and walked away to the back. That reaction alone was almost as disturbing as the roach itself. We all stood up and left immediately, completely disgusted and unable to even consider eating anywhere else after what we had just experienced. Our coworker’s birthday celebration was completely ruined. And in hindsight, it all makes sense. When we first arrived, a worker was standing outside begging people to come in. Against our better judgment, we gave the place a chance. This is what we got. The irony? The bathroom was sparkling clean. Maybe the kitchen could use even half of that level of attention. If you’re thinking about eating here, do yourself a favor and stay far away. The sanitary conditions are clearly questionable, but even worse is the complete lack of accountability, professionalism, and basic care for customers. This place doesn’t just serve food, it serves disgust. Steer clear.

06/2024 Visited on a weekend evening. Pretty busy but not overly so. I ordered the Hokkaido Scallop, Unagi, and Ika Nigiri, along with the Spicy Salmon Hand Roll and Taiyaki Ice Cream dessert. Overall, it ran me about $50. The food was just "alright." None of the food was morish and the price I paid didn't feel justified. The hand roll was pathetic - I could not tell that there was salmon in there... And the Taiyaki Ice Cream was literally just one of those ice creams you could buy a four-pack of but charged three times more. This restaurant serves Nigiri and Handrolls, but I'd say stick with the regular rolls and save the specialty sushi for a dedicated omakase restaurant. And absolutely skip the dessert... Atmosphere - The restaurant's main appeal is that it runs as a "bullet train" restaurant. However... when I came to visit, it wasn't running! And because of this (or not), service was pretty slow! It took 20 minutes to get my food... The decor of the restaurant was okay... I guess I expected more eating at a Sushi restaurant in San Francisco. Would I eat here again? Absolutely not, lol... Way too expensive for what you get and there are no promises of their marketing draw (bullet train).

$180 of cold food, not again Panera Ordered catering for our office for delivery between 11:30-11:45. After it had not arrived by 12:30 I called to locate the delivery. I had to call 6 times before someone answered the phone to help. Was told they are waiting on a driver to deliver the order. Now that our food had been made and sitting for 10 min already, I was told that they would call me when the driver left. They did not call, and the order arrived at 1 and was cold and some items were incorrect.

$200 for 5 people & everyone was disappointed! Came here to meet family & were blown away by the view! Service was great but the table needed wiping down & we waited, despite a reservation and plenty of open tables. It looked like there were plenty of waitstaff. Valet parking was twelve dollars with no other option but that. Ordered $28 chicken breast, $14 garlic noodles, & $20 shrimp, among other things. The chicken was tough & dry, the noodles were spicy (which was not indicated on the menu), and there were only 4 shrimp on the plate. Flat water was free but sparkling was ten bucks! Diet Coke was five for a glass. Everyone left still very hungry and we ate when we got back to the room. For that kind of money I expect to be taking home a doggie bag and raving over the taste, amount, and presentation. Unimpressed and would not recommend.

Husband and I went to this location in Orlando over the summer, which the service kinda sucked, and he had a hard time getting any meats. We decided to go back one more time on Dec 23rd and give them another chance. Big mistake. As he got towards the end of his meal, he noticed the meat smelled off and decided to stop eating. It wasn’t long after that he started feeling sick, but we thought maybe he was dehydrated. Later that night he ended up getting violently sick. We had only ate one time that day and it was at Fogo. After he immediately felt better. Fogo served meat that was expired. He left a review on yelp and google, as anyone would do after such an experience, and Fogo deleted them. Beware…they’re hiding their bad reviews and do not care that they’ve made people sick. For the price you have to pay for their full experience, it’s a slap in the face. I will check back for my review and if it’s deleted, I’ll repost it til it stays.

Showed up here yesterday to watch one of the evening games. They were full but the bar had plenty of space. Was told by the host that we couldn’t wait for a table in the bar because people needed to walk around….. they didn’t want you watching sports, at the bar, in a sports bar. They also said they didn’t have a list to wait for a table and we had to come back. Never heard of that one before. Usually sports pubs are cool with people waiting in the bar with a drink while they wait for a table.

Stay away terrible experience! This was a terrible experience. Donor is not honest, and despite me specifically declining his offer to sell us on some puff pastry appetizer, he still served it to my son when I had stepped out when the bill came. I told the server that I had not ordered this appetizer. The server completion neglected me and left the appetizer on the bill. I paid that because I was upset did not leave a tip. I left the restaurant and out on the street, the owner comes after me and absolutely yell and screams I did not tip. I explained to him ithst I thought it was unfair practice serve me something I had particularly declined to order. He was very abusive and threatening, and I felt very uncomfortable. This completely ruined my whole evening and dining experience. I am surprised the restaurant like this can stay still stay in business. Do trust the poor reviews that it has. Only reason I went here was because my son wanted to since he had watched Anthony Bourdains show. In addition food was not good and they don’t have alcohol permission.
