Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails is Mills area’s newest dining and nightlife concept. Playfully yet eloquently named, Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails got its inspiration from the idea to ‘hangout and throw some shade in conversation’ while paying homage to the history of its building, previously The Lamp Shade Fair, well-known by locals for over 50 years. The Asian-influenced tapas style menu showcases seasonal and local provisions of the Orlando community in innovative dishes that Executive Chef for Thriving Hospitality, Ryan Stewart, has meticulously developed. Lamp & Shade’s comprehensive beverage program features riffs on tiki classics tying back to the influential Asian roots of cocktails.

Was the best way to start off the day hanging out with friends. The food was amazing, nostalgic and new all in the same bite. The menu does have a great variety of items to choose from. From simple to a little more refined. Whatever you choose you will enjoy it. Fresh flavorful and tasty. The atmosphere was inviting and was a great place to hang out and talk for a while. Can’t stay enough about the staff. Great customer service. Stop in and enjoy a wonderful meal with friends, family, or even that special someone.

Normally do not like going downtown or to mills avenue because of all the idiotic drivers and drunk people but this place is GOOD! So much so I’ve been four times already and I dont even like mills and down town area. Food is tapas style and is actually super good. My only complaint is it is way too loud in this place and the tables are very close to each other. People constantly bumping into each other. Not very well set up but definitely recommend as the food is good.

I visited Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails for happy hour with two friends and, unfortunately, the service experience overshadowed what could have been a great evening.
We asked Ian, the bartender, about the happy hour menu as it was clear that’s what we were there for. Instead, we were upsold on liquor without any mention that it wasn’t included in happy hour pricing. The cocktail itself was noticeably small, which added to the frustration when the bill arrived.
When we asked about the charges, the bartender responded with an unnecessary attitude and became argumentative rather than helpful. To make matters worse, the check included an automatic 20% gratuity for a party of three sitting at the bar. While it was technically noted in the fine print, it was not mentioned verbally and wasn’t something we expected for a small bar group.
To their credit, the food was excellent—well-prepared and genuinely enjoyable. However, the overall service experience left a strong negative impression. Unfortunately, despite the great food, the combination of undisclosed upselling, poor communication, and confrontational service will keep me from returning.

From the moment we walked in we were greeted with warmth and smiles.We sat in a cozy booth which overlooked the restaurant and the Great Vibe! Our Beautiful Carolina cared for our table with such love, grace and kindness; she handled our choices perfectly and we just can’t say enough as she made our experience perfect! When it was time for her to turn the table over she introduced us to Nelson who ended our experience with a delicious desert selection, made sure we had everything we needed and helped us take Fun photographs too! The Food (Delicious!!!), Drinks so Creative, the Atmosphere and Service was Fabulous! We left happy and truly felt we had celebrated our Birthdays in the Best way! Our hearts are Full and we will be back! Thank you so much! With much Gratitude…Ana, Liz & Maritza ❤️

The food was fantastic, I love a place that is creative and unique and this place does it well! There is a little Asian twist to the dishes that someone who isn’t familiar can enjoy a little introduction. We did the 7 course tasting menu for $85pp. Drinks were great. Ambiance is a nice homage, to the lamp store that used to occupy the space. And our server Abe was attentive, but not solicitous; gave good recommendations. The chef came out to serve desert which was a nice touch. Valet parking was a reasonable 5 bucks.

This place was such a great surprise! My girlfriends took me there for my birthday. Our server Catalina was AMAZING! She wanted to make sure our visit was special. Her attentiveness and engagement with us was phenomenal.
The vibes of this place was awesome from the wall murals to the photo op with their lamp shade props.
The cocktails and tapas style food were so delicious! We absolutely enjoyed everything we ordered.
This is must do restaurant day or night! Now get out there and “throw some shade”!

Some restaurants lean into a theme, but Lamp & Shade lives it. From the quirky lampshade décor to the gorgeous mural on the wall, the atmosphere feels both stylish and playful, like stepping into a space designed for good times.
I came here on a mission: their Negroni. As a true Negroni lover, I had high expectations, and wow, it easily slid into my personal Top 5. Perfectly balanced, bittersweet, and bold enough to earn its spot. That alone would have made my day.
But Lamp & Shade isn’t shy when it comes to cocktails. The Melon Dollar Baby (watermelon, cucumber, mint, gin, and a cheeky Red Bull Watermelon kick) was fun and refreshing, but the second round stole the show. The White Kimono, delicate, herbal, and lightly floral with Thai basil and elderflower, was dreamy. And the Zen & Tonic with shiso and Aviation gin felt like a polished, elevated twist on a classic.
Since it was “brunch,” we dove into food. The chicken and waffles hit every note: perfectly seasoned, crispy chicken on fluffy waffles that made the sweet-and-savory combo shine. I also had the sliders, fried egg, applewood bacon, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle aioli, messy in the best way and absolutely delicious.
Service sealed the deal. Our server was warm, welcoming, and genuinely enthusiastic. She walked us through specials and even invited us back for their Thursday all-night happy hour (4 p.m. to close). She wore a necklace with her name on it, which I noticed, but I still can’t remember her name, and I wish I did, because she truly made the visit unforgettable.

Visited here during our honeymoon, our waitress Carolina was exceptional! She walked us through the menus and provided excellent service through the entire night. If we are in this area again we will definitely stop by again!

Service was spectacular and the food was even better!
I had the pleasure of dining here on a business dinner and our table almost ordered one of everything off the menu. I was able to try a little bit of every menu item and each item was filled with a flavor punch. The spicy rigatoni was my favorite if I had to pick only one plate to recommend but they were all top notch. You can’t go wrong with anything from the menu.
I am very excited to visit again soon. Thank you for such an outstanding meal!! I will be telling everyone I know that they MUST come here!!

I normally go here just for drinks but recently I tried their food and this place truly is a 10/10. The atmosphere is amazing, the dim lighting makes it feel cozy and intimate. The drinks are incredible and so is the food! The only thing I would change is the portion sizes of the food because everything was just so good! My favorites included the duck dumplings, the potatoes and burrata.
