Date Night in Orlando

BY DAVID PLOWDEN LIFESTYLE BLOGGER AND FOUNDER OF DAVID'S MANOR

With Orlando being a hotspot for the hospitality industry, the options for a romantic date night on Valentine’s Day is practically endless in The Big O. With COVID-19 safety protocols in effect, many Orlando restaurants have precautions set in place to ensure their guests’ safety.

Lovebirds who are looking for an intimate date night near the Millenia area can check out Brio Italian Grille, located inside the Millenia Mall. Menu items include Chicken Milanese, Lobster & Shrimp Fettuccine, and Warm Chocolate Cake as a nightcap.

Floridians who’d rather something more casual and closer to the Lake Nona area can check out LIME Fresh Mexican Grill, located off Narcoossee Road. LIME Fresh is a new addition to the Lake Nona area that includes Mexican entrees and a mixture of a quick-serve and casual dining experience for their visitors.

Lastly, Floridians can venture off to one of Central Florida’s most popular universities to dive into the delectable dishes over at The Aurora, located inside of one of UCF’s newest hotels The Celeste. The Aurora is an intergalactic-inspired restaurant that includes space themed entrees like The Supernova and drinks like The Black Hole. So, don’t fret, there are still many places open and safe in Orlando to wine and dine at with your secret admirer this year. l
