Foreigner Restaurant
A strip mall in Orlando is the last place you'd expect to find Bruno working a 20-course tasting menu that regulars compare to three-star Michelin restaurants globally. The food—an orchestra of creative, precisely executed dishes across Japanese, French, and American cuisines—justifies the $250–$700 price, and the chef's personal engagement at the counter makes the whole meal feel less like service and more like collaboration. The only legitimate complaint: service can slip into robotic precision instead of warmth, and a recent critic expected even higher caliber at the premium tier.
