    So I'm actually a cook at Lombards and you have said most of the issues we parrot to our managers to fix since we get around 20 something reservations total every day. Thank you for mentioning us and just know we have some new dishes cooking up to hopefully change up that menu.

      What secret do you use to cook bacon? Every other restaurant that tries tends to produce it tough, leathery, or chewey. But not Lombards. You guys do it right, and I wanna know how.

      Lombard's has always been our favorite eatery in Orlando. Favorite menu items have come and gone, but I prefer to be forced out of my ruts and to try new things. It is always a fine dining experience in shorts and a t-shirt. The best kind.

    Tip for How the Grinch Stole Christmas fans like me. Once I seen they had Who Hash cans, I had to have one. You can order Who Hash and ask for it on a plate and get a clean can for a souvenir. Bonus: They put more food on a plate than what can fit in a can.

    In the New York area of universal Orlando, there’s a pizza shop that also sells the best garlic knots I’ve ever had in my life. Like incredible tasting, and dare I say very affordable. And yet every time I’ve gone to the park since the first time I tried them it’s been during holidays or off season so the menu has been altered. I have only eaten them once but I dream of them every day. One day I shall return and seek my garlic knots…

    Confiscos is far and away my favorite restaurant. Unlike Mythos I’ve never had a bad meal at Confiscos and I really enjoy the theming in Confiscos. The theming at mythos is better but honestly it’s not better enough in my opinion to put it higher in the ranking in my opinion. Also just to add Finnegans is cool but the food I had wasn’t anything special. I haven’t been to Lombards so can’t speak for that.
