Great for creative cocktails
Great for happy hour
Neighborhood gem

Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails is Mills area’s newest dining and nightlife concept. Playfully yet eloquently named, Lamp & Shade Craft Kitchen and Cocktails got its inspiration from the idea to ‘hangout and throw some shade in conversation’ while paying homage to the history of its building, previously The Lamp Shade Fair, well-known by locals for over 50 years.

The Asian-influenced tapas style menu showcases seasonal and local provisions of the Orlando community in innovative dishes that Executive Chef for Thriving Hospitality, Ryan Stewart, has meticulously developed.

Lamp & Shade's comprehensive beverage program features riffs on tiki classics tying back to the influential Asian roots of cocktails, pairing nicely with Chef’s selection of Asian inspired faire.

This was our first time but not our last one at this very eclectic and fine food venue. We were having a date pre Valentine's and I am so glad I came upon this place. From the kind and attentive welcome and service to the imaginative and delicious recipes, we truly enjoyed ourselves and will be back as well as spread the word. Everything was so tasty but especially the green curry mussels, I still thinking about it. Unpretentious, fun and delicious,my kind of place.

Street fare meets high art. Loungey setting plays host to sensitively prepared food. Flavor abounds throughout the menu. Jack’s crispy rice is a slight laggard in a stellar field.
