The District GastroBar has an innovative design that starts in the restaurant's entrance, a well ­curated modern speak easy with a nostalgic vintage ambiance and an eclectic array of "one ­off" pieces of Prohibition and 1940 era inspired artwork. Walk past the restaurants front door, guests encounter a antique bronze tin ceiling wrapped around historic 1900 brick, custom vintage lighting, but only the adventurous will discover all that The District GastroBar has to offer. With a distinct dining room, grandiose bar layout, an open air patio and a women’s bathroom complete with a salon inspired feel and antique perfume bottles. The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course. Chef Lamond Cooper and menu creator Andre Walton have adapted to the new shared plate dining trend that has swept the nation, and with The District GastroBar menu, they have created waves on the food scene better known as GASTRONOMY!

    Wonderful experience while visiting Orlando - definitely going back to try the other menu items I didn’t get to this time!

    Great service, just a little short on choice for me personally on the Brunch Menu but what we did have was really good.

    Good food, close to the KIA center. I would have preferred a real plate instead of a piece of slate for a plate. Pimento burger was good but way messy.

    Very good location if you are headed to an Orlando City game, however service level fairly low (servers not very attentive) and food is just mediocre- some items are very salty, etc. Overall an ‘ok’ experience.

    For a restaurant near the Kia center, they are inadequately staffed. Food is mediocre.

    The place was crowded with few servers. The food was mediocre at best and overpriced. Service was lacking at best which is annoying given the automatic 20% added to each check.

    decent experience, good pre show option if going to a show or game at Kia center, we were sat a high table outside so was quite hot so would recommend confirming if making a reservation if they will seat you inside or outside as it doesn't specify when booking.

    They were very busy. We had a reservation - a table was pointed out and we were told it would be ours as soon as the current diners vacated. 30 minutes after our reservation time they were still there and we continue to wait despite other tables being open and others being seated who came in behind us. Hostess was snarky - maybe overwhelmed but not kind, friendly or interested in problem solving. We ended up eating at the bar due to time constraints (which is why we made a reservation in the first place). Food/drinks were good and bartenders were nice just very busy.
