International Drive, with its unrelenting string of hotels and convenience stores, is about as far as you can get from the serenity of the Caribbean. However, there is an island of retreat here, where enthusiasts have created an island feel through the liberal use of wood shutters, bright primitive art and ceiling fans. This eatery welcomes families with young children, so it might be wise to expect a little noise at favorite kid mealtimes. To get the island flavors going, you might begin with Conch Fritters, and then progress to Seared Tuna Steak or Coconut Chicken. Most entrees are available in half portions, too, and the restaurant offers a full bar. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Grill your own steak |
8445 International Drive, Suite 140 At the Mercado Orlando, FL 32819 United States +1 407 363 9727 http://www.thebutchershopsteak... |
This restaurant bills itself as offering 'the biggest and best grain-fed beef direct from the Midwest'. It's an accurate assessment by all accounts. What makes this restaurant even more interesting than the average beef-and-baked potato spot is its invitation to guests to grill their own steaks over the restaurant's centerpiece barbecue pit. It might be fun to try your hand, but if you're of the "I'm not going to a restaurant to cook my own meal" camp, the trained staff is happy to serve and cook. Favorites include the eight-ounce Filet Mignon, the 22-ounce Porterhouse steak and the 17-ounce Boneless Rib Eye. Finish your meal with choices from exquisite wines, martinis, vodkas, etc. And last but not the least, don't forget to dig into some sweet pickings. Review © 2007, Wcities |
