Classic American food with flare. Burntwood Tavern’s warm and inviting atmosphere is rich in character, and provides the perfect showcase for its straight forward, chef driven menu of smoked, planked, and wood grilled food. Handcrafted cocktails, constructed with fresh juices and house-infused vodkas, as well as offerings from a diverse craft draught beer list.

The food was excellent; well prepared, great presentation and gourmet taste. This was our third visit to Trevi’s in the past few years and will say it was the best. The service and attention received from Emily, our table attendant, were outstanding. We look forward to our next visit in the near future.

An exceptional meal. Everyone in our group enjoyed the food. The food included the lobster bisque, crab cakes, shrimp toast, and fish ribs as starters/main combos and also ordered shrimp and grits and red grouper. The fish (grouper and ribs) was perfectly cooked as fish should be which is a rare find and the taste from what I sampled was amazing. Shrimp and grits were wonderful. Crab cakes are a favorite for a reason. The shrimp toast was not how I envisioned it but the unique taste and the crunchy texture with a small hit of heat had me hooked. Amara was amazing as our server and explained everything extremely well. The rest of the service team was also fantastic. The best meal of my trip, I will definitely be coming back.

I think this place might be one of the best sushi places in the Orlando area. Service could be better but we did have a new server. The owner was very kind and made sure everything was good. The salmon carpaccio, tuna pizza and nigiri were all excellent! We will definitely be back! The space is small so I would recommend reservations.
