The Venetian Chop House Caribe Royale

If you by any chance already have a reservation for this place, go for the drinks, appetizers, and dessert. The lobster bisque was the highlight of our meal, and the limoncello cheesecake was absolutely delectable. Our waiter Philipe from Ocho Rios Jamaica was also one of the silver linings of this establishment. Now that I have been able to specify the good, it is time to highlight the ugly. There was not a single entree that was worth anyone’s time. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that it was some of the worst entrees I have EVER had at an establishment at this price range. Let’s start with the “Carbonara”. I put carbonara in quotations because the pasta we received was far from it. It was closer to an Alfredo than a carbonara. Any place that respects itself knows Carbonaras require egg and pancetta or guanchale. The sauce was pale white and no signs of egg and if there was pancetta it was untraceable. We also ordered the sea bass and had to return it to the kitchen as it was FISHY. Not like frozen and thawed fishy, like Bikini Bottom fishy… Philipe was polite enough to offer us a substitution and they ordered the salmon. WE ALSO HAD TO SEND THE SALMON BACK BECAUSE IT WAS FISHY. Luckily Philipe was able to arrange replacement lobster bisques that was enough to satisfy these already disappointed patrons. But I know what you’re thinking. Of course you guys had a bad experience, you ordered fish and pasta at a steak house. Well now lets go to the start of the night. The tomahawk for two. This was the driest, least marbled ribeye steak I have had in the entirety of my life. Not worth the trip. If you haven’t reserved already and are reading this beforehand, don’t walk, RUN to any of the more worthy steakhouses in the Orlando area.

Give Joao a Raise! He was amazing, and really took this experience to the next level. We went here for my nieces birthday, it was part of magical dining. He provided such amazing service under some crazy situations. They got slammed with a convention and basically had 3x the number of guests planned for that night, I watched this guy work his butt off to ensure everyone had an amazing experience and did not feel the impacts of the busy and short staffing. And he sung happy birthday in 4 languages . Thank you Joao for making a very special little girl feel very special on her day!

Our experience was amazing- the food was so good. We did the magical dining plan and there was so much food. Our waitresses were top notch and so helpful. Great experience

We went for magical dining and the experience was amazing. Good food and service. No complaints outside of the parking which is not the restaurants fault. Make sure to arrive extra early in order to park in a timely manner. Ask for Diesel as your server, he’s awesome!!

Ishmal and Miguel were a great team. Service was outstanding
