Yelp.com Review - by Janet R.

4.0 of 5 stars. The steaks were incredibly tender and flavorful. My 4 start review is for that. What disappointed me was our slow and bland server who missed out on extra drink orders and took a long time to even...

Yelp.com Review - by Dan B.

4.0 of 5 stars. If you don't LOVE steak, then don't come here. Reason: the steaks are unbelievably good, but their non-steak dishes are anything but special. The eggplant parmigiana is bland, the broccoli is bland,...

Good Eats by Meaghan T. at InsiderPages

I am a big fan of LInda's and think they offer great food for the price. The decor could be nicer but hey, the food more than makes up for it. Always good service too. Great for date night or a group dinner.

3.0 of 5 stars. Let me preface this review by stating that I am not a steak person and therefore don't really care for places that specialize in the red meat, which is why I only gave this place 3 stars. However,...

Yelp.com Review - by C H.

5.0 of 5 stars. La Cantina is "old school Orlando" at its best. The ambiance is not much, except for the cool sunken bar with fire fountain. Their steaks are out of this world. I ALWAYS order the filet (wrapped in...

Best steakhouse in Orlando

This is the best place for steaks in Orlando. The ambiance isn't exciting or fancy- although there are cloth napkins and table cloths. The Bearnaise sauce is also so yummy. This is the best steak house!
