- PPaulVIPOrlando / Central Florida East •11 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoThe wine pairings were fantastic. We also really liked the lobster bisque, as well as elements of the steak dish and salad. Many of the dishes were great but could have been better if they were more balanced. They leaned on the sweet side/ could have used some sort of citrus/ acid to make it more well rounded. Our least favorite dish was the fish, it was sweet and could have used an acid to balance it better, everything on the plate was soft with similar texture, without a pan sear or something to switch up the texture, it all felt like mush, maybe sous vide can be a step in the fish prep but could use a final step to take it all the way. Overall happy that a family restaurant moved into this spot. They are still new and I’m sure they will continue to grow and get better. The restaurant scene in Orlando is no joke, expectations can be quite high. Hopefully they grow and mature under the pressure, it’s not easy here. I look forward to coming back a couple months down the line to see how they’ve matured.More infoLeiahPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown Orlando•4.9
- SSarahOrlando / Central Florida East •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoI had a wonderful experience at The Chapman in Winter Park! The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and made the evening feel special. I was especially impressed by the fantastic Chicken dish, full of flavor and beautifully presented. Dessert was equally delicious, and the variety of mocktail options was a great touch—I really enjoyed trying them. Highly recommend for a well-rounded and satisfying dining experience!More infoThe ChapmanPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Winter Park•4.7
