From the industrial-art deco chic decor to the beautiful dishes to the antique book check holders, every moment at Lamp & Shade Kitchen is punctuated by comfort and style. Our experience here edges out several other Michelin rated restaurants in terms of service, ambiance, and food—both quality and creativity. Every dish we tried was perfectly executed and generously portioned.
We started with mocktails, two hot plates, and two cold plates. Everything came out pretty quickly, and finished plates were also cleared away without sitting long. We had mushroom risotto and skirt steak for entrees, and the portions were so big that we had leftovers (we almost never have leftovers, especially not from small plates-style places). The flavors, preparation, temperature, and plating were all perfect.
We finished with two desserts that were just as good as the rest of the food, which is pretty impressive as many places with fantastic food have mediocre dessert. All of the staff we interacted with, including our waiter, were very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. They pointed out the 20% gratuity and starred it on our check, which was appreciated.
We went early in the evening and were able to get parking spots close by, but it would be definitely worth arriving early if you have a later reservation to make sure you find somewhere to park.
All in all, this restaurant instantly became a top 3 favorite in all of Orlando for us. Can’t wait to go back again soon!
