I’ve added my personal review links to the ones I’ve had, and will continue to update this page as we continue to visit Orlando.
This includes dinner options, family restaurants with live music, and more. Let’s get into the 10 top rated restaurants in Dr. Phillips:
1. The Melting Pot
The first restaurant we will review on this page is The Melting Pot. We recommend this one if you are looking for a classy place to eat with a cozy and intimate atmosphere. It’s excellent for special celebrations and romantic dates.
We hope you like cheese because this restaurant is all about fondue. Our favorite dish is the four-course dinner for two. If you order it, you must pick a cheese fondue, two salads, the entrees and cooking styles you want, and a melted chocolate top.
Drinks are one of this restaurant’s strengths. We had a great experience in Mexico, so it was great to see a place with a good tequila bar in Dr. Phillips.

2. Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine
Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine has been working since 2004. Its first location was on Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida. The Dr. Phillips restaurant opened in 2012. If you are looking for perfectly cooked Turkish food, this is the one you should try.
The food here is affordable. It has vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, too.
Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine has a dinner and lunch menu. Both include salads, soups, seafood, cold and hot appetizers, chicken, and beef. We personally recommend the mixed grill and lavash bread. It also has excellent wine options.

3. Chatham’s Place
Looking for a fine dining experience with a restaurant that uses locally sourced ingredients? Chatham’s Place is the best option for you.
What we liked the most about Chatham’s Place is that it doesn’t turn tables. We could fully enjoy our meal without anyone rushing us. The executive chef here has an organic farm, and that’s where they get all the ingredients from.
We tried the filet mignon, the Florida black grouper, and a dark chocolate mousse. The food and the service were impeccable at all times. This restaurant offers a wide wine selection with a reasonable price range.

Although it’s not related to the food the restaurant offers, one of the things that makes Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse shine is its location. You can have an amazing day sightseeing and then have a delicious steak for dinner.
When we visited this restaurant, the steak was outstanding. One of it’s other locations in Fort Lauderdale is among the best steakhouses in the area and is firmly in our regular rotation.

6. Ocean Prime
We love fancy restaurants, and that’s the reason we liked Ocean Prime. Check out our full review here. This is an excellent option for people looking for the true taste of seafood. It’s kind of expensive, though.
Live entertainment was thrilling. You can book private event rooms for celebrations, too. Apart from its immersive ambiance, we enjoyed the restaurant’s steaks, lobster, and delicious cocktails.

8. Whole Foods Market
Although it’s not a traditional restaurant, Whole Foods Market offers many more food options than others. You can have breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even a late-night celebration here.
We recommend having an idea of what you want to eat before going to the restaurant, though. It could be overwhelming to pick something once you get there due to all the options available.

We felt like we were eating award-winning sushi when we came to this restaurant. Seito Sushi has the perfect mix of traditional and modern cuisine.
You can go to Seito Sushi for all kinds of events. This is a great place for every occasion. Apart from the great food we had there, we have to mention its full bar.
We could try all the drinks we could think of, and they all came for a decent price. When we went to Seito Sushi, we tried the “Ultimate Spicy Tuna” and “Beauty and the Beast” rolls.

10. Seasons 52
Seasons 52 is the last restaurant on this list. When we went there, workers always focused on creating a personalized and luxurious dining experience for each customer. That included complimentary valet parking and private event tables. We stayed in the main dining room.
Though this is a classic fresh grill restaurant with a wine bar, it has a seasonal menu. We don’t know what will be available next season, but what we tried was delicious. If you have the chance, ask for the scallops, key lime pie, and salmon salad.
