Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Apopka

Perfect place for a cocktail and apps with the girls before a show at Dr Phillips! We will definitely come back next time we’re downtown for a show!

Such a Beautiful Birthday Celebration! We visited to celebrate my mother-in-law’s 71st birthday, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful evening! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcomed and cared for. The service was amazing, but it was the genuine kindness and thoughtfulness that really touched my heart. We also had our 5-year-old niece with us, and even though the restaurant doesn’t have a kids’ menu, the Chef was kind enough to prepare a special meal just for her. It may seem like a small gesture, but to us, it meant so much. It’s those little acts of kindness that make an experience truly special. Seeing my mother-in-law so happy and enjoying her birthday was everything to me. At 71, she deserves to be celebrated and made to feel special, and the entire staff helped us do just that. I’m truly grateful to everyone who played a part in making her evening so memorable. It’s not often that you visit a restaurant and leave feeling like you were treated with such genuine warmth and care. We absolutely loved our experience, and this will definitely be one of our stops whenever we’re back in Orlando. Thank you all again for helping us create such a beautiful memory!

Reel Fish never disappoints. Food and service are consistently excellent. And they have one of the best happy hours in Orlando with a wide selection of food and drink available 4 to 7 PM weekdays. Sometimes we find the main dining room to be a bit too loud but last evening it wasn’t full, and the ambience was perfect.

We usually dine here before we see a show at the Dr. Phillips Center. The food here is always delicious and the service is wonderful. Nice selection of beer too.
