Best Restaurants in the East Orlando Florida Area?

I would love to hear your ideas on your favorite restaurants in our area! I anxiously awaited the poll results of the Best of Orlando list from the Orlando Weekly. However, the favorite restaurants from readers were less than inspiring- hellooo, Olive Garden anyone? No offense, I enjoy a good Olive Garden salad from time to time, but I was hoping to discover a real gem.

I’d love to hear about any restaurants- from your favorite to take the kids, to impress a first date, to take your mother-in-law, etc. What about Greek- where am I going to get the best Shish in town?

Please leave your suggestions in the comment section below and be sure to tell me what makes it your favorite establishment in the area!

EAST ORLANDO HOME BUYERS:

Now is the time to buy in 32828! As of October 1st, home sellers will no longer be able to pay your down payment for you- so if you want to save thousands, the time to make an offer is now! Although historically interest rates are still low (about 6.5%), they are starting to rise AND the amount of inventory in our market is beginning to decline. This is a sign that home prices will begin to level off in the next few months. There are still plenty of homes currently listed at or below current market value. Now is the perfect time to buy in East Orlando. Give me a call at 407-761-2663 or email me at WaterfordLakes@yahoo.com and lets go over the figures to find you the most home for the least amount of money!

EAST ORLANDO HOME SELLERS:

It is an unfortunate time for sellers in our market. Too many homes are listed by sellers who are not serious about selling their home. We are flooded with homes that are overpriced. If you are serious about selling, please contact me, Dawn Pratt, for a free comparative market analysis of your home. Let me sell your home at a discounted brokerage fee and a listing agreement of 90 days. Just mention that you are a www.EastOrlandoLife.com reader. If you are unsatisfied with my performance, you may cancel our listing agreement at any time- no charge to you whatsoever.
My promise to you is to provide you with personalized service, consistent contact, and to do what it takes to reach our ultimate goal- to get your home sold!
