Great for happy hour
Neighbourhood 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.

The food was amazing. The only thing not worth the money ($27) were the short ribs. They were tiny flattened out pieces of meat. Very tasty but not the least bit satisfying. Price needs to come down on those. Everything else we had was spectacular including the dessert. I will be back for sure!!!

I had a reservation, arrived 7 minutes early, girl in the front said the table would be ready soon. And that's that. My party and I walk back in 8 minutes after my reservation. The same girl looks at me and says, "Oh, it'll be ready soon, mam". Once she started "maming" me, I was completely disgusted. Her intention and total lack of graciousness was not a good way to start my birthday dinner. This has definitely turned into a "hip" bar for a young and beautiful crowd. Pricey drinks, tiny tapas, and loud music. Fortunately, our server, Trent, was outstanding from the moment he introduced himself. Helpful suggestions and graceful attentiveness. This was our third visit to Lamp&Shade solely based on the food options. Almost $400 later, we were stuffed and satisfied! So a big thank you to the chef(s) and Trent!
