   The food was incredible. We had to wait 15 minutes for our table (can’t blame them for that) and longer than normal wait between appetizers and meal. That actually was good so it gave us time to be hungry again. I would definitely recommend 4 Flamingos and look forward to going again

   Overall, the food was below average and not worth the price point (exception was the ahi tuna appetizer). However, the service and ambience were excellent in the dining room (bartender did not acknowledge us for 5 minutes while we were waiting to be seated). If you are not a foodie and want to spend a bunch of money for the atmosphere, this definitely is the place for you.

   We ordered a number of items to try on their menu: - crab cakes - tasted okay - scallop ceviche - it came raw and the sauce was coconut. It would probably taste better cooked and with lime slices for acidity. Would not order this again. - crab raviolo - the pasta was over cooked and rubbery. - Moqueca - this was excellent, the coconut rice as well. - Whole fish for 2 - we really liked this dish too. The server cut and served it for us. Didn’t care for the yam-type starch that came with it but we ate it with the coconut rice. Overall, I would not dine again. One of our diners was allergic to crab and really wanted to try the fish. The server told him that they fry everything in the same oil… made no sense because fish, crab and shrimp should not be fried together for a number of reasons. But it seemed like the server didn’t care and the restaurant is cost cutting.

   Lovely first experience at Four Flamingos. The vibe is so cozy and very key west (but of course much classier than anything you’d actually find in Key West). Our server was amazing and the courses were paced out perfectly. Our water glasses were never allowed to get empty. Loved this special experience celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary but also a last date night before our second baby arrives.

   Bartender was not very friendly!! We got to the restaurant early so decided to set at the bar and have a drink. Bartender was very direct and seemed to be not very engaged with his customers. We let the restaurant know it was our anniversary. The lady that seated us wished us a happy anniversary. Waiter never mentioned our anniversary or brought any kind of special desert to honor that.

   Awesome dinner last night at Four Flamingos. Service was friendly and attentive. Drinks - presentation and taste - were exceptional. Food was amazing. We went with oysters and the Hearts of palm Ceasar to start. For mains, we for the Swordfish prime rib, Moqueca and the shrimp bucatini. So damn good.

    Swordfish was the star of the menu. Diservedly so. But the rest of the menu was a booby trap. My companion ordered the crap claws and then the crab ravioli (I tried to talk him out of two crab dishes. But that was his want. so be it) the crab claws came uncracked which for me is not cool any more. the kitchen should be precracking the shells and all the meat should be easily accessible. It was messy in a way that defys fine dinning. plus it was served with a delicious mustard sauce that completely over powered the flavor of the crab. Great mustard sauce, wrong dish. He wound up eating the crab without the sauce but dipping the bread in it after eating the crab meat that he had to work so hard to crack to get to. the crab Ravioli was one giant ravioli with some sort of red sauce that was not tomato (or maybe was) either way it was Hum-drum and the large ravioli was nonsense i will go back and try something else next time. But in my opinion—As of now—the swordfish was the only thing worth ordering

    We both loved our meals so much. I had the Monkfish Rabo de Taro. It was an amazing combination of flavors that worked together beautifully. My partner had the Ahi. Our server was really helpful. The ambiance was just right. The Chef de Cuisine, Shelby Farrell, is so creative and her team works so well together. We were in Orlando for a work commitment and this was our special dinner.

    Was familiar with Richard Blais from TV and was expecting more but was very underwhelmed. I know it is a hard time for restaurants but the issues here are very fixable- food was under/oddly-seasoned and place was unsurprisingly loud considering it is hardwood floors, and glass/metal walls and ceilings. No salt/pepper on the tables. The restaurant has potential because menu is imaginative so I hope they make the small changes necessary to get on track. As is, it is not even close to worth the prices (and I believe in expensive restaurants to give everyone a living wage).

    The restaurant is in a hotel with keyed access parking. If you take a card at the gate, it states that over 10 minutes of parking to 24 hours is $30. A little off-putting. Fortunately the restaurant validates parking. Once you park you have a fairly long schlep up hill to the restaurant. I suspect that this hotel exists mostly to cater to people who are staying on the property which is gigantic. Not so inviting to people who aren't staying at the hotel.

    So where do I start? Believe it or not, everything was amazing, starting with a service. We started with the roasted acorn squash, and The shrimp, toast! They were amazing. Our two entrees were the crab meat ravioli, topped with lobster, and the maqueco. Awesome! We finished with key lime pie! Very tasty and unique style. Kudos to the entire team!

    It was NYE and the restaurant completely overbooked itself. While our reservation for 10:15 was moved to 11:30, people had been waiting for THREE HOURS!!!! For a restaurant that is Michelin recommended this is unacceptable. Another thing, this was reservation was advertised as a experience reservation YET the only New Years thing was the complementary champagne which is the bare minimum. No hats, no tiaras, no sunglasses, no decoration, no signs, no picture booth which you would think that a restaurant that has so many Intagramable items would care about a holiday (the chocolate desert and the cocktail with the nitrogen bubble). The dirty plates were left for a while. Honestly, the tuna tostada and our lovely waiter were the only good parts of the experience the rest of the food was forgettable and overpriced and they were out of the crab cakes which are a staple of the restaurant. AND the worst thing in the heart of palm salad the kitchen dropped a piece of the shell of one of the crabs, luckily no one was hurt but what if my guest had been allergic to shellfish or what if she wouldn’t have noticed on time and bit it too hard and broken a tooth? After this incident the only thing we got was the waiter apologizing but management didn’t even bat an eye to also make an effort to apologize and offer some relief. Overall, a BIG disappointment and wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

    La peor experiencia!!! No se lo recomiendo a NADIE. Hicimos una reserva para pasar año nuevo, llegamos y nos hicieron esperar una hora para pasar, ya que las mesas de reservas anteriores no se levantaban y ellos no podían hacer nada. Era un menú fijo por $175 usd más taxes y propina, no tenían todos los platillos cuando nos pasaron, 2 horas después de la hora de nuestra reserva apenas recibíamos el primer plato, la comida muy mala, para lo que pagamos por persona esperábamos mucho más. Terminamos pagando 250 usd por persona, por mala comida, mal servicio y ambiente aburrido de año nuevo. Nos vendieron una "experiencia de año nuevo" y fue la peor

    NYE dinner was amazing!! Every dish was phenomenal. I didn’t have high expectations because it was NYE and knew it would be extremely busy and possibly slow but everything was sooo good and service was awesome. We had oysters, ceviche, pork belly, crab cakes, monkfish and steak with MOFONGO made with pork belly. The meal included dessert but it was simply too much food… Had a small taste of the dessert and it was delicious too. It was a little pricey but worth it!!

    We been here before and food is expensive but good. We loved the oysters and stone crabs. Last night we had reservation for 8pm, but didn’t get our table for 8:40pm which was disappoints since we have a kids with us. They ran out of crab cakes and had to wait 30 minutes extra in between course. We didn’t finish our meal until 11pm

    We went for a NYE event and it took 3 and a half hours to have 4 courses come to the table. The wait staff was rude and unattentive, and didn't even give us our champagne toast that was promised for the hefty holiday price tag. The managers of the restaurant never came to check on their guests or apologize for the long delays or offer any recovery. Coming from the food and hospitality industry, we understand when things get backed up or when there are issues, but it should be overcompensated with great guest service or at least acknowledgement of the issues. The food was good but for what we paid, I would never go back and would suggest they revisit how they approach their guests when things go unplanned.

    I really really wanted to like this restaurant and a lot of our food was tasty but it was not worth the $175/person pre fixe menu price tag. I made an early reservation 6:30 hoping to be home by 9pm. The first bite of food arrived an hour later at 7:40 and the timing just got worse from there. You would think a pre fixe menu would speed up service but it did not. The first 2 courses were delicious. At my table of 4 we got the oysters, tuna tostada, and the vegan tostada option. Delicious but should not have waited an hour for it. 2nd course, pork belly, acorn squash salad, and crab cake were also all very tasty. Entrees were okay - monkfish (delicious), pichana steak (a little chewy), and cauliflower steak (not well received by my vegetarian guests). We were so ready to go home at that point that we ordered the dessert course to go. We finally escaped at 9:40pm. Dessert was fine but not what I expected from this caliber restaurant. This was our first and last visit to Four Flamingos.

    We went on NYE. In the F&B industry it is considered amateur night. People dining out that normally don’t. Service was a comedy of errors. I paid $175+supplementals+$20 cocktails. With those prices the bar is set high for the experience. Instead we felt rushed, courses were dropped without bussing the previous courses dirty plates, 2nd course pork belly sent back and the food runners dropping the entree course before getting the pork belly, intermezzo sorbet being dropped at the same time as the entrees, my entree being taken away when my pork belly came back out, my other 2 diners being left with there entrees while I had my second course, the list goes on. I work in the F&B industry and I know these nights are turn and burn. THIS KIND OF RESTAURANT SHOULD NOT MAKE YOU FEEL RUSHED! Our server seemed very inexperienced as to the steps of service. There was obviously no communication between managers and runners or we wouldn’t have had such a bad (mostly service related) meal. We came in at 5:45 to avoid the crunch of service, but that didn’t help. Our meal was ruined. I still have my entire monkfish entree sitting in my refrigerator because I was so angry that night and lost my appetite. I’ll probably just throw it away. It is tough finding quality help in our business right now, but Four Flamingos needs to up its game. I am fine with paying a premium when I go out to eat, but the expectations of the food and service are way higher than if you were eating at the Ale House. The eye for detail when it comes to food and service have to be higher.I live locally and this could have been a place that i would have frequented 6-8 times a year. It’s going to be a long time until I go back, if I ever go back. The management adjusted my bill due to there series of service and food errors, but ultimately the night was ruined. I was embarrassed for you for the product you put out on NYE.

    What an excellent evening. Steak, Lobster, Moqoeca!!! I put the noise at moderate but things did quiet down later in the evening. We came with 93 and 88 year old friends who raved about the dinner the next day. Thank You So Much for providing a memorable experience by just being yourselves.
