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!

    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.

    Had a reservation and was unexpectedly seated outside at a sidewalk table that was dirty and people standing around drinking/smoking.

    Food was excellent. Great cuisines and something for every palate. Service was good but super slow. We got our drinks, which we ordered first, way after our food arrived. Drinks were supposed to be on the house because we had a 6pm reservation and didn’t get seated until 6:30. However, we got hit with a nearly 20% service charge which we didn’t realize until after we’d left a 20% tip. They really need to let people know about that after you sit down (if you’re new to the place, which we were), or when they bring the bill. After the service charge and tip, we basically paid for our drinks! A/C was not working well. They need to invest in a new ventilation system. Will we be back? Absolutely. Just not on a busy evening like the night of Janet’s concert!
