Fine dining Orlando establishments are few and far between these days. Our hurried lifestyles have caused us to buy fast-food and eat-in, or visit quick, chain-type family restaurants. Most do not accept reservations but will gladly provide you with a beeper that will signal when your table is ready for seating. Music of some kind is usually blaring loudly throughout, and the atmosphere is impersonal and rushed. These restaurants serve the masses and hurry us through our meal so that they can prepare the table for the next patron. The table setting usually consists of utensils wrapped in either a paper or linen napkin, and ketchup and mustard are probably on the table as well. Table linens are usually absent, replaced by paper napkins.
The preparation of the food served in these kinds of restaurants can vary greatly between visits. Consistency in cuisine is not a guarantee, but maybe you will have a decent, hurried meal, served by a staff that may or may not be completely trained or well-versed in menu offerings. Conversation amongst your party is sometimes difficult as a result of the loud ambiance. These restaurants fill the niche for the majority of folks on the go.
So then, what makes a restaurant a fine dining destination? A fine dining restaurant is an experience that is not to be missed, and in reality, should be experienced time and time again. Imagine being able to reserve your table well in advance of your visit by making reservations over the phone or online. When you do arrive at your restaurant, you are greeted by pleasant and warm lighting and a host or hostess who is happy to show you to your awaiting table. Your table is impeccably set with china, crystal, silverware, and linens. Pleasant music is playing softly in the background, and the chair is pulled out for the females in your party. Linen napkins are placed across your lap. Any questions you might have about cuisine preparation or suggestions for wine pairings are immediately and politely answered by the superb staff.
The cuisine that is served is not only prepared with the finest, freshest, locally-sourced ingredients and absolutely scrumptious, but is plated creatively and beautifully presented to please the eye. No one rushes you through your meal so that you can savor every morsel of your meal, all while you enjoy pleasant conversation with your table-mates. The servers will not be hovering over you, but will discreetly keep their distance to ensure you want for nothing.
