Dinner Club

For the past many months Sally and I have been going out with friends from church to eat dinner. We meet once a month and really enjoy the company. We are very cognitive to not eat at a chain restaurant and we have been trying different ethnic cuisine. Below is a list of the restaurants that we have tried. Each restaurant was great and the group would recommend any of them. We have been very lucky in this regards as we have been doing this for more than a year and a half.


Ceviche House (Peruvian) - Great service and large portions of food. We are all so glad that it is on our neighborhood.

Ichiban Japanese Restaurant
May not be the correct name but it does not matter as it has gone out of business. Huge portions, cooked at your table and many different kinds of sake.

Logan's Bistro (03-2009)– (Eclectic American European influences. Simple but very tasty. ) Excellent fish and chips, Sally had the pot roast which she raved about. We didn't get the name but they had a red Italian wine that was so smooth.

High Tide Harry's (04-2009)
A casual seafood restaurant and saloon where their goal is to satisfy hunger and thirst with a variety of foods and drinks. Their specialty is reel seafood. The pricing is more than reasonable and the portions are plentiful. The group had crawfish, oysters, shrimp, scallops and crab cakes. The crawfish were boiled with Ball's creole seasoning and I consumed about a pound and a half. Kayla our waitress was a blast, she leaves, well graduates from UCF in 6 months unfortunately for Harry's. This restaurant was Eddie's choice and was a great one. Check Harry's website for specials.

07-09 Three Sisters SpeakEasy in Downtown Kissimmee. This place really surprised us. Not only was the food great but the service and ambiance was perfect for our group. I did not get the waitress name but she was great. It is an upscale restaurant in the heart of Downtown. This is not a Fridays or Bennigans, do not expect a $10 meal. This is great food made by locals and worth every penny!


08-09Mambo is tucked away in a strip mall in St. Cloud. Not the best way to get noticed, so they decided they'd get attention with the food. I never heard the story about how Eddie found this place but it was great. This is award-winning Cuban food with traditional delicacies makes you never want to go to Miami for Cuban food.

Memories of India09-09
This popular Indian eatery, located in a shopping center in the Dr. Phillips area, offers authenticate Indian dishes. There are napkins on the table and wooden-inlaid scenes of Indian life on the walls but the atmosphere remains casual. Gary and Liz brought us here, the food was wonderful but I will admit I let Gary order for me. Amazing how we still have not been disappointed!


Back to the Epcot Food and Wine Festival10-09. This year the event was different but no matter we had a great time drinking with good friends. This was our first repeat!


Chef John's Dockside restaurant 11-09
Back to Kissimmee, this night we almost repeated and went to Three Sister's Speakeasy but stopped at the local wine bar. Vintage Vino Wine Bar is a Tuscan themed wine, cheese and specialty beer bar located at the City's Center in historic downtown Kissimmee. The owners swept the girl's off their feet by finding the exact wine they each preferred. The guys were happy with one of there three specially selected beers. When we started to get hungry they offered to have a waiter from John's or 3 sisters come take our order. We went with John's and were amazed! The girls had Crepes while the men hung with the blackened Salmon over cheese grits. I say it every month but this was the best meal ever!
