The uninitiated should know that Foodspotting is a free, handy mobile app and website that helps people find delicious food from the eateries in their respective areas.

Valentine’s Day Dinner at The Boheme
Guest Post By: Kathleen Drozdowski, The Seasonal Vegetarian (kdrozdowski [at] gmail.com • @theseasonalkat) I was recently (and fortunately!) asked by my good friend Marilyn to attend a preview dinner at the Boheme for their Valentine’s Day menu in her stead. As my husband and I had never been, but frequently heard about the restaurant, we were glad […]
The Capital Grille’s Plates Winter Menu
The only few months out of the year that Floridians can enjoy cool weather outside are those first few precious months of the new year. Luckily, Darden’s The Capital Grille continues to offer new, affordable specials on their Winter Lunch Plates Menu. Unlike it’s cousins Olive Garden and Red Lobster, The Capital Grille goes for […]
Quick Bite: Braised Fish at Teriyaki House
Teriyaki House may look like a typical American Chinese take-out place, and they do serve all the American staples, but the real draw is the Taiwanese food. Remember to take notice of the photo menus displayed in the store front windows and at the ordering counter; neither menu was in English. The non-English menus always […]
Finesse (n: the restaurant) in Lake Mary
(Editor’s Note 04/08/2012: Finesse closed on March 29, 2012. Source: Scott Joseph.) A new year means fresh menus! This Latin-inspired menu belongs to Finesse (n: the restaurant), a cozy, chef-owned restaurant in Lake Mary, Florida. The main dining room and bar were decorated in dark wood and deep crimson. The walls were covered in culinary terms […]
Biergarten Restaurant in Epcot
One of the best, affordable Disney luncheons is the lunch buffet at the Biergarten. Approximately $28 dollars gets an adult guest an unlimited smorgasbord of German staples like snitzel, sauerkraut, brautwursts, and beef roast including fountain drinks. Sorry beer fans, amber-filled steins are extra. The best part is that people with late lunch reservations can […]
Lee & Rick’s Oyster Bar and Seafood House
Located on the not-so-hidden corner of Kirkman Road and Old Winter Garden Road, Lee & Rick’s Oyster Bar and Seafood House has been serving fresh Florida fish and oysters on the half shell since 1950. Lee & Ricks is a comfortable, no-frills kind of place. The main entrance to the restaurant is lined with dozens […]
Latin Food and Wine Festival 2011
Last year’s Latin Food and Wine Festival passed me by, but I was determined not to let this annual event pass me by again this year. Think of this festival as a showcase of Latin flavors from around Central Florida. Representatives from local restaurants set up tents in a tight stretch of Crane’s Roost Park beside Altamonte […]
NaraDeva Thai Restaurant Near The Mall at Millenia
NaraDeva Thai Restaurant is a welcomed change from all the chain restaurants packed into the Mall at Millennia area. The chains are a decent fast food option for harried shoppers, but they don’t hold a candle to NaraDeva’s unique, healthier options since a lot of sodium and other hidden calories hitch a ride in ready-made […]
Cevíche Tapas Bar and Restaurant
Hispanic dinners are boisterous and involve sharing conversation over courses upon courses of food with family and friends. A meal is as fun as it is intimate. Cevíche Tapas Bar & Restaurant specializes in tapas — small plates of cold and hot entrées — which is one of the best ways to share a group dinning experience. […]
