    Tonight was our first visit to Nami. It’s a beautiful restaurant, great atmosphere, service is impeccable and food is very good. It’s an experience to eat there. Between the two of us including tip, our bill was over $300. So it’s not an inexpensive restaurant. It is an experience so it is as worth it. There were two downfalls to tonight’s visit. The first is that the chairs are very low at the tables. I’m a short person and when I sat down, I felt like the table came just above my breast bone and it was a little uncomfortable for me. Jokingly, I told my friend that should’ve brought me a pillow or a booster seat. The other thing that was disappointing was after our meal was done, we sat at the table for about 10 minutes. We were looking at our phones, where we had pulled up the menu for the restaurant and were looking at some of the things that they had on there because we couldn’t remember everything we ate. While we were doing this, the manager came up to us and asked if he could buy us both a drink at the bar. I asked him if he needed our table and he said no two other ladies did though. When we declined because we were driving, he said well can I offer you a half a glass and you can share? We said no we’ll leave.. I’ve eaten at a lot of restaurants in my life here and around the world that were just as expensive as this one or more so. And I have never been asked to leave a table. I wonder if they would’ve asked the same of a couple or two men? Anyway, I won’t let this deter me from going back because there were still a few things on the menu we wanted to try. But beware… don’t let Germany your table after dinner.

    Excellent as always… great views, superior service, broad wine selection, and the lamb chops were amazing! If you are staying at the Hyatt at the airport it is very convenient and highly recommended, we look forward to Hemispheres every time we come to Orlando.

    This restaurant was so cute inside. Small and intimate, but not crowded. Our server, Junior was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was wonderful and we had a great evening before our show at the Dr. Phillips Center. We will definitely be back next time we are in town for an event!
