We recently dined at The Strand, and while it had many positives, there were some notable issues. The restaurant prides itself on quality ingredients and offers excellent customer service. The food we did get to enjoy was undeniably delicious. However, there were some drawbacks.
One significant downside was the limited beverage selection, as they only offered bottled drinks and no mixed drinks, which left a bit to be desired. The atmosphere was vibrant but excessively loud, making it challenging to hold conversations without shouting. The space was also quite cramped, which might not be suitable for those seeking a more relaxed dining experience. I know that diner-vibes are part of the charm but for our date night it was just a miss.
Unfortunately, to our disappointment, one of their best-known dishes (duck) was sold out before we arrived, which was a letdown. Overall, it's a mixed experience – exceptional ingredients and service, but the beverage options, noise level, and space issues may not be everyone's cup of tea.
I am glad we tried something new and wish them all the best, but it just wasn’t a fit for us.
Cute, intimate restaurant. Amazing service & wine! The majority of the food we ordered was very good (the pasta Nero and the shrimp appetizers were delicious!) we also liked the beef special and the warm pretzel was good. For entrees the Alabama chicken was actually probably the table favorite - great take on southern food. The coffee rub sirloin was probably my second favorite, the red snapper was okay, was expecting way more flavor. Both desserts were delicious!
Unassuming | Creative | Worth It 👌
Walking up we weren't sure what to expect... But we were pleasantly surprised 💯
The menu is very creative and refined - excellent specials all around and the service was top notch 🫡
No specialty cocktails available 😔 But their beer and wine list were stacked with excellent options 🍻
The atmosphere was upscale diner-esque - with a vintage feel. Makes you feel welcomed.
Worth the visit - 👍👍
Love this place and so happy this neighborhood has some innovative, fresh, good food. The table favorite was the snapper. Love how relaxed and cozy the inside is. The food is seriously good. I just wish they’d put something up to absorb the sound it gets pretty loud.
Oh wow — this is great!! From the name, and coming from the UK, I assumed this would be high-end and a little snooty. I was wrong. This place has excellent food and beer, but is super-accessible. I had the burger and the flatbread starter — all excellent. The price was reasonable too. Highly recommended — an instant favorite!
Well crafted dish followed by another well crafted dish. I had the burrata w/pickled blackberries and watermelon, the red snapper with grits, followed by thei r tres leches. It was great food night. I look forward to dinning there again.

If you were the kind of diner, who loves finding restaurants and unexpected and unassuming locations, that serve quality food with great service, the strand is your kind of place. Small and located in a tucked away strip center. You find a little dining room with a bar and kitchen. Space is small so you’ll most likely have to wait outside for your table. No matter. the staff will come out and serve you drinks while you’re sitting out on the street. The small menu has a variety of dishes. From fish, to state, some vegetarian options. They even have some great specials.
We started off with the cheeseboard, and the Avocado Salad both of which were great. My duck was really the star of the show, tender, and perfectly cooked. Our friends had the burgers, and started off with the local fried mushrooms, which were nice touch. The desserts were great, the lemon cake, and the strawberry shortcake. We’re both outstanding. The wine list has very limited number of individual glasses, however, the prices for bottles was very reasonable and the options were great.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Can’t say enough about the white staff, there, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the entire experience. Great. Make sure you make reservations in advance. Definitely find your way out here, it’s worthy of your visit.
Last night was truly unforgettable! The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Their menu brings a unique flair to this area, and the range of drink options is impressive. What truly sets them apart is their exceptional crew; it's not a "fend for yourself" situation. A big thank you to the team for creating a wonderful evening!
A great new American style bistro with a seasonal menu and a few classics. Portions may not be as large as expected, but the quality of food was good. My favorites were our appetizers and desserts. We left not too full. Prices are reasonable for the location. Service was very attentive and friendly. I'd come back.

Fantastic cozy place for dinner. Really liked the vibes and atmosphere, plus the service was phenomenal.
Started with the Buratta and the Oysters, which were both good but the Buratta was really something special and I will be getting that every time I return. I was sad they didn't have the Carpaccio that day but I'll be trying that next time it's available.
For meals we got the duck, octopus, and Alabama chicken. The star of the show oddly enough was the fried Mac n cheese from the Alabama chicken dish. It had some kind of horseraddish sauce that elevated it to the next level and beyond. I was not expecting to like it as much as I did, but wow. That should be its own starter. The duck was the best overall meal, and i cant see myself liking anything on the dinner menu more than that. The skin could have been a bit crispier, but the flavor profile was on point and it was a beautiful medium rare. The octopus had an aestheticically pleasing presentation but frankly tasted terrible. Next time I'll try the salmon which sounded really good.
For dessert we got the lemon cake and the strawberry tiramisu. My wife loves lemon anything so we went with that and it was fairly mid. Not bad but nothing special. The Strawberry tiramisu on the other hand was a masterpiece. Top 10 deserts I've ever had easily, maybe top 5. I'll probably see if I can get it to go every time I'm in the area. It's that good.
Overall it was one of the best places to eat in Orlando. The good stuff was really really good and worth coming back to get.
