Atlantis Restaurant - Luxury Orlando

By Devananda Lila

The Renassiance Hotel - Atlantis invites you in!

The Orlando, Florida vacation destination holds much to get exited about as anyone who has visited Disney World, or any of the other resort entertainment theme parks, can attest to. Food, fun, and friendliness abounds. Yet in this haven of heavenly hosts there is one restaurant that stands out in my mind as the very pinnacle of food, friendliness and class!

Delightful Presentation

The Atlantis Restaurant in the Renaissance Hotel is a cut above the rest, and that includes their fish and meats. A perfect paradise of culinary and dining perfection!

The manager, a 20 year Atlantis veteran, Kevin Hidey, greeted us in a friendly and professional manner seating us at a beautifully decorated table in a semi private almost romantic alcove. The ambiance was soft and warm as the harpist filled the atmosphere with gentle, flowing music that rippled at the background of our hearing, the ethereal sounds accentuating the atmosphere with a classy comfortable mood.

The service was impeccable as we were treated to a Chef's Sampling of many of Atlantis's delectable. A creative variety of gourmet entrees such as lobster, crab, and the very best black sea bass I have ever had the pleasure of tasting, were included in the outstanding feast.

Chef Rich Willerer

Chef Rich Willerer, the artist responsible for such beautiful creations, came to the table to introduce himself and explain each and every offering. Assisting him were no less than five personal waiters at the ready to clean the table, bring the many dishes, and attend to any of our desires.

Each dish was prepared and presented in supremely appealing and endlessly delicious fashion that excited the senses through smell, taste and visual appeal. My party was treated to a variety of chef chosen offerings beginning with, Smoked Muscovy Duck, followed by a seafood tasting of exquisite salmon, scallops and tuna sashimi as well as beautifully prepared and delightfully light salad of heirloom tomatoes and buffalo cheese. The entrees included Maine Lobster Poached In Vermont Butter, Pan-seared Chilean Sea Bass with a Tomato Cumin Cauce and Herb Crusted Colorado Lamb Chop with a Rosemary Lamb Jus. Each course demonstrating both the superb skills of Chef Willerer and the outstanding presentation and atmosphere of the Atlantis restaurant. (*see full menu of this tasting below)

Excellent Presentation

The dessert tasting a wonderful and just as refined and delightfully presented as the other offerings consisted of my new favorite dessert a sinful fixation for my palette - Grand Marnier Souffle with Vanilla Gelato Sauce as well as a light Creme Brulee and Chambourd Marinated Raspberries. These deserts created an exceptional ending to what quite possibly may have been the most pleasant and absolutely delicious dining experience I have ever had.

Delightful Desserts

The Atlantis Restaurant housed in the beautiful atrium of the Renaissance Orlando Hotel is a 'must do' for anyone that enjoys fine dining, excellent food and superior service, in style.
