All-you-can-eat Maine lobster |

Owner, Jeff Hazell spent his youth helping his father, a professional lobsterman. His restaurant prides itself on serving only lobsters from cold New England waters.

Fresh New England favorites |
6860 Aloma Avenue Orlando, FL 32792 United States +1 407 678 2107 |
While fresh Florida seafood has its considerable charms, transplanted New Englanders often miss the fried clams, clam chowder and other specialties of their home states. This restaurant caters to those diners. The décor is extremely informal; customers order at the counter, seat themselves and await meals served on paper plates. On the menu are such treats as lobster bisque, and such entrée favorites as fried haddock and fried clams, a house specialty. This restaurant is popular and does not accept reservations, so the wait can be quite long and many think it well worth it. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Far-eastern delights |
2021 East Colonial Drive Orlando, FL 32803-4852 United States +1 407 228 4000 |
This Orlando hotspot has been doing brisk business since its inception in 1995. Dig into Vietnamese delicacies, including the omnipresent noodles—the food here is more specific to the city of Hanoi and is a mélange of tradition and art. Start off with the multi-faceted Pho, a national soup dish, with garden rolls, amid warm, beautiful surroundings or on the patio. Follow it up with Bahn Cuon rice crepes with meat fillings, veggies and fish sauce. Or, try the delicious Bun Cha Ha Noi—vermicelli noodles with grilled pork in fish sauce and other embellishments. Wind up with the Ca Phe Sua Da—iced tea with condensed milk, or an exotic fruit shake for a truly Viet experience. This is also an ideal spot for a quiet celebration; the bar takes care of basic liquor requirements. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fresh ingredients tend to give the food a very different flavor indeed. A good place for candlelight occasions because the chandeliers create a very sexy and sultry atmosphere.

Fresh steak, seafood |
1500 Epcot Resorts Boulevard Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel Orlando, FL 32830 United States +1 407 934 1362 http://www.donshula.com |
If you're in the mood for fine steak or New England lobster, and you either have a few bucks to spend or are dining on an expense account, consider a visit to this restaurant. Named for former Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula, the place boasts a slightly pigskin atmosphere (the menu, for example, in inscribed on a football). But the food is the real draw here. Start with the lobster cocktail, and progress to such entrée favorites as the Porterhouse Steak, Prime Rib or Lamb Chops. Polish off your meal with the chocolate soufflé, and a drink from the full bar. It is one of the best steak houses in Orlando and conveniently located inside Walt Disney World Dolphin.
