The Thirsty Fish

Cuisine: European, Italian

Price Range: $

10Best Says

Although more a wine bar than a dining venue, this lounge's prime location on the waterfront of the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando more than makes up for its limited, if tasty, selection of "piccolo morsi" (small bites). Add to that mix live jazz – on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights – and you've found the ideal place to relax, nosh, imbibe and bask in the Orlando version of this picturesque Italian harbor town. While certainly romantic, the Thirsty Fish is a wonderful location to gather an adults-only group of likeminded travelers and sample an array of wines and bubblies by the glass or bottle. Cent'anni!
