I had an unexpected girls night here with a friend. We meant to go to the sister bar next door but I’m so glad I ended up here! I’ve seen and heard great things about the Strand and have been meaning to try it.

First off, it was busy on a Wednesday night which I can only assume is a good thing. But despite being busy, there were a few open seats at the bar for walk-ins and I was able to snag two seats for my friends and I. It was also not overly loud for how busy it was. It felt very intimate and cozy.

We ordered a drink each, split an appetizer, one entree, and a dessert and it came out to about $100 with tip, so not a cheap place but I think it was well worth it. The service was wonderful, prompt, and welcoming.

They were out of a few dishes but that’s to be expected when you have a rotating menu and use fresh ingredients. We also were there on the later end of the evening, about 8pm.

For an appetizer, we ordered a focaccia toast topped with some mushroom, onion, and ricotta. It was divine.

My friend ordered the burger and loved it. It can’t with fries that looked like McD’s fries (which I’m an absolute fan of) but they tasted EVEN BETTER than McDs.

We split dessert, olive oil chocolate cake which has a tahini mousse and sesame seeds. The cake was so well balanced. It was rich but not overly sweet and even had some saltiness from the tahini mousse.

Overall one of my favorite Orlando dining experiences to date and I can’t wait to return!

Amazing from start to finish! We love good hospitality and my sister recommended we would have a great experience here so we tried it out! Brendon did not disappoint. He was kind, patient and very accommodating. The food was remarkable. We didn’t leave anything on the plate. We will definitely be back with friends and family. Thank you team!

Excellent culinary experience. I can’t believe that it’s been around for more than a decade and this was my first time. We shared the cesar salad and several entrees – duck, steak frites, red fish. They were all savory winners. The chocolate olive oil cake was flavorful without being too heavy.

I give the strand a 10/10. It was delicious, innovative food. We had the pasta Nero, red snapper and tiramisu. The snapper was tender and flakey and delectable. The dirty martini was very light and refreshing— they make their own brine and it shows. The tiramisu was not too sweet, very balanced with the tart raspberry. Yohan provided awesome service. He accommodated my unique drink request and took attentive care of us. Overall, an amazing experience. We will be back.

I enjoyed the food, everything was good and fresh. We had the special appetizer, which was fried mushrooms. I feel it’s worth a try but I was expecting more based on the reviews and feedback I had heard since it is on the Michelin guide. Reservations recommended. Street parking.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando. We came here for a birthday celebration and it was such a memorable experience. The atmosphere is unlike any other restaurant in Orlando, it has that cozy mom and pop feel but with a more elevated touch. It’s the perfect spot for a special occasion or a date night!!

I ordered the steak frites and it was absolutely amazing, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The dinner and desserts were outstanding, and everything we tried left us wanting to come back for more.

If you arrive early for your reservation, I highly recommend stopping by the bar next door, DBA. Their appetizers are delicious and make a great start to the evening.

Overall, this place is a true Orlando gem and I can’t wait to return.

This place was actually really disappointing. We went specifically for the ribeye steak and it was THE WORST steam I have EVER had in my life. If you had asked me if the cut was even a Ribeye I would have said no- it was disappointing. The steak was cold and was smothered in a gravy (sorry, but if the meat was a good quality, you don’t cover it up). My dad is a professional in this business and taught me well. I gave it two bites and sent it back. It was embarrassing to even have it in my presence. Go to Linda’s LaCantina if you really want to order a steak at a restaurant (you will not be disappointed or find wacky gravy covering meat) – do not do it at The Strand.

The atmosphere was nice. I like their sister bar (d.b.a.) better (better vibe and cocktails).

Overall, the experience was very underwhelming and really disappointing from a food perspective.

My first visit to this Michelin listed restaurant. It’s a small place on Mills Ave that boasts great reviews. Our experience was a less than stellar. While we waited for our food, a fellow diner at the next table received her duck entree. She claimed that it was so tough that she couldn’t eat it. They offered to replace it with another selection. My wife had also ordered the duck. When it arrived, it was very dry. When she alerted the server to this, rather than offer to replace it with something else, he brought her more sauce to “moisten” it. I had the Redfish special which was good, but a bit over. Finally, our server, without asking, removed the remainder of my wife’s unfinished cocktail. His unapologetic response when she pointed this out was, “I thought you were finished”.

The food was amazing. We had the pork belly appetizer, scallops, red fish, and steak. Unique flavor combinations and food cooked to perfection made our special occasion meal fantastic. Don’t skip the white Russian, very different and delicious.

There’s nothing bland about The Strand. This is easily one of best restaurants in the burgeoning Mills50 food corridor – and maybe one of the best kept secrets in the Orlando cuisine scene.

First thing about The Strand is the atmosphere. This is an unassuming, almost minimalist joint with simple decor and a homey, “come-on-in-neighbor” feel. The bar is a little tight, but we’ve eaten at it before and had some great banter with the staff.

The apps were incredible. We had these fried mushrooms that were simply from another planet, and pork bellies that swelled with crispy goodness.

The service was amazing. Paul, our waiter, locked down the specials with deft delivery – and they were an easy sell. We had the shortribs and the yellowtail, and both were fantastic. The fish was accompanied by a coconut rice and was drizzled with a light curry sauce that will make your toes curl.

Prices are a little on the high side, and exacerbated if you hit the cocktail menu (most signature drinks will run you around $15 or more). There are some staples on the menu, but they try inventive things on the regular, so be sure to ask about the specials.

If you’re exploring the Mills50 area for something exciting but with a comfortable atmosphere for food and conversation, this place is hard to beat.
