    The food was horrible. We ordered five different dishes, and each one was not pleasant. Their gumbo, which I’ve had numerous of times in Orlando, Florida, state on the menu that it did not have okra, but when it came out, it in fact, had okra . The menu was nothing like the other house of blues restaurants I’ve visited before . Everything was different and not tasteful at all . The service, however, was really good. We arrived an hour early for our reservation and they figured out a way to get a seated.  The music was awesome very soulful and blues.

    The live music we experienced from two different bands was awesome. Both the food and service was great. The only thing I had an issue with was the Cadillac Margarita which tasted like that Margarita mix with no alcohol. It was disgusting. It was a wasted $14. Overall, I had a good experience and would return and order another drink maybe , or soda lol!

    Loved the music and the food was good but service was awful. No water refills the entire time, took forever to take the order, didn't check on the food until we were halfway done, didn't bring a drink for 20min. Won't dine there again but probably fine for music at the bar.

    We had ordered a wine from the winelist and the waiter oferred us another one by the same price. We accepted the offer. But later, when we check the bill the wine was 5 usd extra. We preferred do not say anything but we understand that this way to sell a good service is not right. Despite of this, we are fine with the experience. Best. Santiago

    We loved our time at the House of Blues! Great food, service, and feel! The music was awesome and created a great environment while eating good food in the cozy area together with other people.
