Mike “Average Moderate Guy”
We generally have a great experience at this restaurant, a hidden gem at the top of the Hyatt regency at the Orlando international airport. It has an excellent atmosphere. Overall the food was really good. We were in a slightly large group of 12 and all the food we ordered was amazing, except the Korean Fried Chicken. Do not order that. For a place like this, if it’s on the menu it should be good. I get better Korean fried Chicken at my local Korean takeout restaurant for about 15 bucks. I ended up sending it back and ordered the lobster tail, which was amazing, That’s a lot coming from a guy from New England. Service was excellent though and the waiter was very attentive and he took care of my reorder right away. He didn’t even complain or grumble, he just apologized. It’s understandable that food may not be up to par at a restaurant, however it’s how they handle it that matters and they handled it in a professional and excellent manner. I would go back, however, I’d be careful what I order. PS, I wasn’t the only one who didn’t like this, two other people at our conference ordered it and didn’t like it.

As a foodie I love trying new places out. This was not on my bucket list but it definitely deserves kudos. Compliments to the chef and sous chef who did an amazing job on the delicious courses. A big thank you to the staff that made this whole experience even better. It will definitely put a dent in the wallet but well worth it. Thank you, Alex.

Ahh, my final Magical Dining of the season. I’m so sad that it’s coming to an end, but I am so happy that it happened. Out of the top six MDM menus that I sifted out, Hemisphere was the only $60 one of the bunch. So expectations were high.
Ambiance was insane. The restaurant itself is a giant room with a second story that is loft style, so all the upstairs diners can peek over and spy on the bar patrons down before. Beautiful artwork adorns the walls, and of course, the aspect that everyone talks about, the mega window overlooking all of the planes taking off at MCO. It was quite the view. The best view I’ve ever had at a restaurant, I’m sure.
As for the food, it was solidly five stars. Everything we had was amazing, and a pro-tip, if you are in the building between 5-6:30PM, there are $10 happy hours apps that aren’t a full serving of their apps, but that’s good anyway, because then you can try more things. We got an extracurricular app before the dining started. It was nice.
Apps
Tempura Vegetables (broccolini, sweet potato, cauliflower, green beans, kecap manis sauce). Very light and bubbly tempura breading on nice veggies with just enough bite to them. Not a heavy app at all, and that sauce adds a nice zing. It’s so good, ask for a second little cup for sharing.
Crawfish Chowder (Hemisphere’s specialty for over 30 years). Um, yes, this was the bite of the night. I do not understand how they got this kind of depth of flavor and seasoning into this thing. Very creamy and smooth, seasoned well, but probably not offensive to even the boring palates out there.
Mains
Niman Ranch Pork Chop (apple brained 16oz tomahawk chop, brussel sprout mustard, anasazi beans, shimeji mushrooms, pickled red onion, apricot glaze).
This was insane. Such a well cooked chop, juicy all the way throughout even though it was a thicc boy. The mustard seed heavy mustard added just enough acidity to cut through the rich fattiness of the chop and the beans. And the sweetness of the glaze, it was just so well built.
Whole Snapper (soy and herb marinated whole fish, coconut Jasmine rice, pickled vegetables, tamarind chili glaze).
This was good. Certainly a visual spectacle. Moist, juicy fish, fried well, not greasy. Do not be fooled, this is just rice, covered with coconut milk. It wasn’t bad. Just make sure you mix it all up before eating all the milk and leaving just rice. And yes, there are many bones, so just be careful.
Desserts
The most effort was put towards dessert. Their pastry chef has a brilliant mind, whoever it is.
Honey Semifreddo (silky, frozen honey semifreddo, rich chocolate cremeux, golden honey tuile). I cannot believe the strong, perfect honey flavor that this semifreddo had. It paired very well with that rich chocolate, and there was even unadvertised cake chunks on the plate for some texture. Very fun and playful and delicious.
Peach Pastel de Nata (warm, flaky, Portuguese style custard tart with peach sorbet). This custard tart was perfect. Very flaky and with a very nice texture custard. There was more than just sorbet on the plate, too. There was meringue, a cream of some sort, and actual grilled peaches. Another very fun dish.
I never name names, but our server was the direct reason this place went from a five star to a four star experience. At the end of the meal, she obviously lied to us about coffee needing to be brewed, including throwing her coworker under the bus about the situation, and her attitude about making the lie seem less obvious really cemented the fact that she looked at our age, our dress, probably incorrectly guessed our salaries, and assumed any extra customer service wasn’t going to directly add to whatever tip we were going to give her. So, that was a bummer. Lots of boomer types around us in nicer dress certainly got a lot more TLC from her. So, sorry Hemisphere, but maybe just do some extra training with your staff on treating everyone the same. I’m sorry, I’m never like this, but it was just so obvious.

Thank you Magical Dining!
What
I did the magical dining experience here. It was well put together. I did the upgrade for my appetizer of grilled Octopus. Man… it was fancy plating for sure! The whole fish was my highlight! Though, how do I stay fancy with this… It was pretty good, I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was a big portion, could’ve been shared! The appetizer I got the peach pastel de nata which was a little bit disappointing for me. The egg tart wasn’t as good as I imagined it would be. The sorbet was the only thing I enjoyed. I also got to try the hibiscus one which was definitely better than the peach egg tarts.
Environment
Located at the airport and inside the Hyatt. It was a little maze to find this place for sure! There is plenty of parking that’s for sure. Make sure to go towards terminal B parking lot and them to terminal Top which would be closer to the hotel and resturants (there are signs). Get the parking ticket cause they validate your parking if you dine in. Once entered the hotel lobby, take the elevator up to the restaurant. The interior is very nice, if you go when there is still sun out, you will see the planes at terminal be taxiing taking off. Very nice. There are booth seats and tables inside. Very nicely decorated and worth the evening date
Niceness of the staff
Very nice and patient staff as I look over the magical dining menu! Also appreciated the intro to the menus, got me to upgrade my appetizer.
Dollar
As part of the magical dining experience, this was $60. Which I thought was decent for what it was.
Yes/No
It was quite the dollar but I would recommend to other!

What a fantastic evening at Hemisphere! My husband and I stumbled into the Hyatt’s luxurious restaurant after a long day of delays and travel challenges, but were met with warm Floridian hospitality and kindness.
Located on the 9th floor of the hotel, Hemisphere offers creative dishes in a contemporary environment. I loved the unique twists on comfort favorites like the salmon, grilled cauliflower and burrata. We ate every inch of food on our plates!
Great option at MCO for diners with allergies. Thank you to Mark for ensuring that all my husband’s dishes were gluten-free! It was also a highlight to meet Chef Joaquin during our meal.
Hemisphere provides respite from the hustle of the airport downstairs alongside delicious cuisine and a sweeping view!

This is a must eat place if I am staying for any significant amout of time in this airport. The pear salad and pork chops were some of the most flavorful I have ever had.

Me and my boyfriend had one of our favorite dinner so far in Orlando!
The view is fantastic, the food is amazing, the servers, the chefs, the manager, the host, everyone we met were incredible.
Some items of the menu change according to the season but some they are there always.
My favorite dessert was the corn crème brule !! It was delicious, I love everything made of corn.
My lobster risotto was fantastic and my boyfriend loved his pork!
You can go before or after a flight, but we went just for dinner, and it was amazing!
The restaurant validates hotel parking, so you don’t pay anything to park!
This is such a special experience and totally worth it for anyone looking for a unique dinner in Orlando.
The view of the airplanes was incredible I recommend sitting at the window!

Hemisphere is in the hotel at the airport. It boasts a beautiful view of the runway and our meal was incredible. You can expect healthy portions and the perfect blend of flavors. Highly recommended for the atmosphere, ambiance, service and cuisine.

A very nice place with a fantastic view and atmosphere and very kind staff. There were only very few vegetarian options and the smaller dishes were reasonably priced (around $18 or so).
Nice list of cocktails and drinks overall. It’s rather on the pricy side but definitely a nice place to dine in.

This is for the bar only.
We stopped by during happy hour before our dinner reservation elsewhere. The restaurant looks good, maybe we will eat here next time.
Friendly bartenders and good house wine. The Old Fashioned was great too.
