Dining options in Orlando?

A group of us will be be staying in the Lake Buena Vista area for a conference, and we would love to know about some good local restaurants.

We would prefer a mom and pop Orlando original, not a national chain. Moderately priced to upscale fare is okay. Traditional steak and seafood cuisine would be optimal, but we are certainly open to other suggestions. We will have a rental car and are willing to travel a bit if the spot is worth the drive. The group will consist of about 6 folks just in case dining party size is an issue.

Thanks in advance for your help and guidance. Happy eating!

    If you want the best steak and grilled foods you've ever had, take I-4 going north (really, I-4 East) to the exit for SR414. Go west to the second light. Sam Snead's Tavern and Grill will be on your right-hand side (It's next to the large RDV sports complex). You'll drool as soon as you step into the place! It's pricey, but well worth every penny!!!!!

    Not sure if you've already been in Orlando, but if you go into downtown Orlando (away from LBV, going east on I-4, get off at Amelia, turn right onto Orange, and right again onto Livingston-watch for the bus lane) there are 2 restaurants in the Bank of America Building owned by the same people. One is Manuels on the 28th which is the top floor of the building, giving great views of the city and surrounding areas, great food, on the pricey end of the spectrum, and reservations are I think required. On the bottom floor, there is Harvey's Bistro which has all sorts of food in different price ranges and is very good It looks really upscale, but is a casual atmosphere. (I also agree with the other comment on Sam Sneads, but it's about another 15 minutes from downtown)

    Source(s): Eaten at Harvey's many, many times.

    I travel to Orlando frequently on business and have found a few out-of-the-way gems. If you're group likes Asian, there is an outstanding upscale Asian place that is reasonably priced on Lake St (at Ruby Lake Road) called Quan Xu House of Yum Yum. I've never been disappointed. Have fun!
