    Casual dining Thanksgiving experience - the food was good and although they close at 6, they continue to bring out fresh food for patrons with the last reservation. Service was excellent as well. however, $70 is a bit steep for what it was.

    Service was great, Ana was a great server. Everything we ate was delicious, I can’t recall anything being less than wonderful. Would definitely dine here again. I will say a little pricey though .. 70 was a bit much for the buffet. 50 a person would have been more accurate.

    Food was good except not many options for someone with wheat allergies. Most side dishes had some kind of sauce or breading. I would recommend adding some gluten free options, we had 3 in our party with allergies but the dishes didn't indicate if nuts, wheat, etc. were in the ingredients. Not a place I could recommend for someone with food allergies. Service was good after we got our drinks. Amanda was amazing and so accommodating!

    The Thanksgiving buffet was wonderful. Food was fresh and hot. Each person in our party had a different favorite item. The display was a feast for the eyes. The staff was welcoming and friendly from arrival to departure. Wished we had more room in our tummies. Anna did a wonderful job as our server and the Chef was charming when he visited with us. Everyone had a smile and was very personable. What a great family meal we enjoyed thanks to their hard work.

    The Thanksgiving buffet was amazing. It had everything you would want from a thanksgiving spread, plus some vegan options, sushi, tons of salads, and an assortment of desserts. The turkey was a LOT better than some houses I've visited. I'm still thinking about their mashed potatoes. I recommend getting there a long before 6, which is when they close, to give yourself enough time to browse and not feel rushed. Parking is definitely expensive, so factor that into the price if you're not staying there, or ubering there. Highly recommended.

    Went to Tradewinds for their Thanksgiving buffet for the 2nd time and we love it. The food options and service are great. They have all the usual staples plus charcuterie, pasta, multiple meat and fish options, dessert and more. Can't beat no cleanup either!

    Was seated right away, there weren't a lot of people there at 8:30 on a Friday. Being in a hotel I imagine they aren't a popular option considering there is so much in the surrounding area. Bread was pretty hard, but sourdough usually is, so no qualm there. Side note - the menu listed on open table was ENTIRELY DIFFERENT than what was actually offered. That was kind of a let down. We already had our minds made up on what to get based off the open table menu. Probably wouldn't have eaten there if we saw the current menu. We ordered a prosciutto platter with Crostinis, ricotta and pickled vegetables. It was good. The pickled veggies were a little too sour for my liking. I ordered the "best cheeseburger ever" which - wasn't. Fiancé ordered the "harvest flatbread". The cheeseburger was massive, very difficult to eat. Had to deconstruct. The bacon was wayyyyy over cooked and inedible. Hurt my teeth to eat the bacon, had to take it off my burger. They weren't kidding about the jalapeños. I love spicy and I love heat, but holy f*ck, this was the hottest burger I've ever eaten. It was so hot that I couldn't even enjoy it. Ate a quarter of the burger and ended up wasting the rest - and I absolutely hate wasting food. Fiancé sent back his flatbread. This thing had a pound of cheese on it. The management offered a complimentary dessert but we declined. We stay at the Renaissance frequently and will not eat there again.

    Excellent Christmas Buffet. We really enjoyed the Christmas Day buffet. There was a huge choice of different foods, which were beautifully cooked. The service was excellent. I would highly recommend the Tradewinds Restaurant, particularly for UK visitors on Christmas Day (it isn't that easy to find a decent Christmas Dinner in Orlando)

    The food and wine was great but the service was surprisingly uncomfortable - our waiter kept rushing us at one point and then disappeared at another point, we couldn't really figure out what was going on. During this whole time we were the only 3 diners in the restaurant.

    Tradewinds has a good variety listed on their menu and everything oredered at our table was gourmet quality. Each table is served a complementary order of chips made in their kitchen. The chips alone are worth the visit. The ambiance is very appealing. Very nice decor, quiet enough to talk, but busy enough to be interesting.
