Top Orlando Dining Experiences

We had a great time. Show was great. Actors were great and made us laugh and food was excellent. It was a great experience .

It’s entertaining. It’s a dramedy. Very interactive. Great date night or group outing. Dinner was excellent (Herb Chicken).

Definitely a 10, tasty food, drinks with enough alcohol, clean place, good service. Quick and sufficient quantity.

I am a lover of a good experience and without a doubt the hard rock Orlando delivers it from tray, literally. The staff are extremely polite and willing to serve us well. The food, just as it has to be - perfect. And the decoration is impeccable! Worth every minute in there!

Dave was an excellent tour guide, he knew the history of winter haven and Frankie was so much fun: we really enjoyed our day.

My wife and I found Travelingspoon by accident. We were just about to book another cooking class when we started to read their reviews. We were so glad that we did! After passing on that particular class, we found Travelingspoon through further scrolling through the offerings for cooking classes. The reviews (David’s) were all top level. I wasn’t sure if we would be sharing the class/experience with others, but after a quick phone call, we were assured it would only be my wife and I. The other aforementioned class was with a dozen or more people, so this was a welcome surprise! Now this is done from the home of your host, and I was thinking that there may have been one or possibly two more couples, but I wasn’t even thinking of the logistics of trying to manage that many preferences at once. We decided to book first and worry about any technicalities (menus/choices) later because we didn’t want to lose the particular dates that we wanted. There was an area in the booking process to input preferences and allergies if any. Shortly after we got an email that told us our host would be David Linn. The address and contact information was also included. A couple days before the event David called to go over everything including our preferences and to get to know a little more about us. He is a very interesting person to talk with. He has so much experience in various aspects of culinary areas from high-end big-city restaurants to food trucks and catering endeavors. He offers a wide encompassing selection of food styles to choose from when planning your day/evening. Yes, wine is also an option. David grew up in Italy, so when I mentioned that we wanted carbonara as our main idea he was more than happy to oblige. It was even more special that he happened to have some of the main ingredients that he had just brought back from a recent trip to Italy! David prepared a tomato and barata salad which we had with the pasta carbonara (I joined in to help here 😁). This was followed by bacon wrapped fillets with a wine reduction sauce, sautéed spinach, and quartered small potatoes baked with garlic and olive oil! And he wrapped up with cannolis with a family recipe filling. The whole event was outstanding. The stories, the tips, the recommendations, and encouragement was so inspiring. He even let me look through his family recipe book. David even ended the evening by offering to give advice or instruction with anything else I had questions or interest in. It was a fantastic meal, and I’m glad we chose David to make it happen. Two final bits to add. Ask David for the gate code. The neighborhood is gated. This company, Travelingspoon, is international. So imagine making sauce with a Nona in Italy or arroz con pollo from an Abuelita in España. The first photos were David’s, and the last photos were my rendition of the carbonara. 5/5 would definitely make again!

What an amazing and relaxing day! Captain Dave was beyond knowledgeable and so fun to be with. We learned so much history of the winter Haven area. This tour was worth every penny. Captain Dave and Michelle are so welcoming and fantastic. Thank you so much for an incredible day!

David is a great host! My wife and I visited David’s home for private cooking class for our 3 year anniversary. My wife loves to cook and I’m trying to learn more so we thought this would be a fun experience. David sent us a sample menu prior to the visit and ensured to ask about any food preferences or allergies. David showed us how to make handmade pasta which was what we were looking forward to the most! He shared his experience and offered tips throughout the process which was exactly what we were looking to get out of the private cooking class. Another great part of the experience was that David used regular ingredients that could all be purchased at your local grocery store, rather than boutique hard to find items. This made the experience much more realistic. We made a full 4 course meal from about 5-9PM. Overall, David was very knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. We’re looking forward to impressing our friends with some awesome new dishes! Thanks David!

A really great value to add to our trip! Make sure to call ahead after booking your prepaid dinner/lunch package to reserve your spot at the location you plan to visit and it's well worth it to plan ahead and have dinner plans prepaid and the fun atmosphere!

Had a great time with my husband for his Birthday thanks for a wonderful time in Orlando Loooooooooved the experience!! We will be back again

Fun games, professional actors, good music, great food. Staff very nice and accomadating. Will return. .

Fun evening out with the hubby. The atmosphere was engaging and the performance very entertaining. Food was decent.

Be honest. Theme restaurants really aren’t my thing. I went in expecting mediocre food but still expected good service. My service was above and beyond. Our server Christian was probably one of the best I’ve ever had, anywhere. I made sure to mention this to his manager when she stopped by as well. There isn’t enough that can be said about him. His suggestions were spot on and his service was five stars. The atmosphere is pretty cool, I actually liked the theme but my kids enjoyed it more because they’re really into the different types of music, artists, and history. We really enjoyed the wings and the fajitas. The kids meals were pretty much as expected but still above average, which is better than I would’ve expected at any type of restaurant for typical kids meals such as chicken fingers or mac & cheese. Everything I saw passing by on different trays from different servers looked phenomenal. I will definitely return.

We have dined in a number of restaurants in the Orlando area and we enjoy a bottle of Prosecco with our meal, the Prosecco at the Hard Rock Cafe was actually the best value we have had in the region, the food was good and also very reasonably priced, service was great and we were impressed by the espresso coffee served after the meal. Expecting this to be more expensive than it was given the iconic location I would recommend this as a good place to eat.

The boat was nice and clean and Captain Scott was very nice and personable and very knowledgeable about the lakes and the wildlife. The people we met on the tour were great. It was a great adventure and I highly recommend it and would do it again!!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience with David! We felt very involved in the preparation of the food, but he stepped in if we needed some help. Everything tasted absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable and great to talk to.
