Salt & The Cellar at the Ette Hotel on US-192 in Kissimmee is an absolute must-try. From the mocktails to the starters and entrees, everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavor — you can truly taste the care put into each dish.
Highly recommend the Kimchi Brussels Sprouts, Eringi Pizza, Vegetarian Burger, Spicy Crispy Tofu, and the AB Tacos (Vegetarian). Every dish was creative, delicate, and delicious.
The service was excellent — our waitress Ginger was attentive and welcoming throughout the entire meal.
Don’t miss the mocktails, especially the Moonchild and La Vie En Rose. The Moonchild drink presentation with lavender-scented smoke was stunning and made the experience even more special (see photo!).

This is a truly elegant and posh establishment that delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt refined and welcoming, setting the stage for a memorable evening.
The staff was absolutely wonderful—professional, attentive, and clearly well trained. A special acknowledgment goes to our server, Pearl, along with the food runner, who were both outstanding. Each dish was presented with care and explained in detail, which added a thoughtful and elevated touch to the experience. Their knowledge, poise, and attention to detail made us feel genuinely valued as guests.
The food itself was nothing short of amazing. Not only were the flavors outstanding, but the presentation of each dish was beautifully executed—artful, refined, and visually impressive. It was clear that great care went into every plate, making the meal as enjoyable to look at as it was to eat.
Overall, this establishment exceeds expectations with its elegant atmosphere, exceptional service, and beautifully presented cuisine. It is the kind of place that takes pride in every detail, and it shows. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, upscale dining experience.

Fantastic experience!! The food was excellent, creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt elevated while still being approachable and satisfying.
The service truly stood out. Marcel at the bar was incredible, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. He made great recommendations and created such a relaxed, upscale vibe that really enhanced the whole evening.
Great food, standout service, and a memorable atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re in Orlando.

Salt & the Cellar delivered an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. I booked the reservation through OpenTable for a dinner with a former colleague, and it turned out to be an excellent choice.
The highlights started immediately with the Akira Back Tuna Pizza, perfectly executed, with micro shiso and white truffle oil adding just the right balance of freshness and richness. The Spanish Octopus was tender and flavorful, and the 14oz NY Strip was cooked exactly as ordered, with a clean, high-quality cut that spoke for itself.
The AB Wagyu Tacos were another standout. The tomato ponzu and gochujang added depth without overpowering the wagyu, and the balance of textures was spot on. Cocktails were equally impressive, the Smoked Old Fashioned made with High & Wicked bourbon and Trinity bitters was smooth, well-constructed, and a great complement to the meal.
The real surprise of the night, though, was the Hot Mess Specialty Roll. Hands down, it was the best sushi roll I’ve ever had. The rice was the perfect consistency, something many places miss and the combination of sashimi poke, chuka wakame, and spicy ponzu aioli was exceptional. Every bite was balanced, clean, and genuinely memorable.
Between the quality of the food, thoughtful execution, and overall atmosphere, Salt & the Cellar lives up to its reputation. I’d absolutely return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a refined but approachable dining experience.

The hotel itself is stunning — but honestly, the staff are just as impressive. Truly. The manager, a sharp and stylish young gentleman with impeccable hair; the mixologist, an absolute genius with spirits and very easy on the eyes; and our server, thoroughly professional with excellent food and wine knowledge. The service was faultless from start to finish. The atmosphere was brilliant, the food outstanding, and my friend and I had the most wonderful evening — laughing the entire time. Every recommendation was spot on, and the sushi chef even went out of his way to create a special dish for my rather particular friend. A huge thank you to the entire team. We will most certainly be returning very soon. We’ve been to Akira backs Toronto and delray location. Although the location was a bit odd, this location might just be my favorite so far.

Went there…first-time visit for date night with my honey. Didn’t know about this venue until I read about it on Magical Dining. Food selection we chose were excellent!! Taste, texture, presentation were all superb. Wendy, our attendant, was great; made super recommendations and was friendly, welcoming. She made feel very comfortable. Also met and had conversation with Gino, F&B GM who also made us feel like we were regular clients. Food and service was outstanding and highly recommend this restaurant. We’re looking forward to brunch and High Tea. See you soon!

My first time at the Ette hotel for the Nutcracker High Tea experience for my friend’s birthday, and it was just amazing! What a beautiful setting.
Julia was so knowledgeable about the extensive selection of Mariage Frères teas. Her recommendations, timing and service were perfect -The sandwich selection was exactly what we hoped for. The scones and clotted cream were delicious. The petit fours and macarons were delicate and perfection.
I have tried high tea in a few places in Orlando but this was the most authentic with the best service for sure.
Open table was accommodating with a reservation change, the staff at the hotel were very friendly and customer service was 5*****!
We will be back.

Amazing sushi and tuna tacos, awesome cocktails, and a great cheesecake for dessert. Daniel took great care of us and made the experience even better. Loved the vibe of the restaurant inside the hotel. Definitely recommend for date night!

From the moment you pull up, Salt & the Cellar sets the tone for an unforgettable experience. Valet parking makes arriving effortless, and stepping inside the hotel, the restaurant is immediately to the right. Don’t let the location fool you—this is far from your average lobby restaurant. It’s elevated, chic, and an experience in itself.
The staff was absolutely amazing—attentive, welcoming, and beyond accommodating from start to finish. Walking past the bar into the dining area felt like stepping into a place where every detail is thought out. Even the bathrooms are so stunning I couldn’t resist taking pictures.
Now, the food—nothing short of exceptional. The steak was cooked perfectly, the sushi was fresh and delectable, and every side our server recommended was spot-on. Drinks were well-balanced and creative, the oxtails were rich and flavorful, and dessert was decadent, indulgent, and worth every bite.
We came here to celebrate my birthday, and it exceeded expectations in every way. This is the kind of place I’d recommend not only for special occasions but for any reason at all. Salt & the Cellar is a true gem, and I cannot wait to return.
