"My guest and I found the food and drink and service to be outstanding. Our waitress was very good about checking every now and then whether we needed anything but not overbearing. However, we are in our 60's, about to attend a concert and both felt this restaurant is more for the young at heart with its high energy level and high noise level. It was very busy that night which says very positive things about the atmosphere, etc., but I am guessing the average age was30-40. We would probably choose another restaurant the next time just because we felt a bit out of place."

"Food was nice, not too crowded and the ambiance was interesting. The waitress was very helpful. May have been a little pricey for the food since it was not extraordinary."

"If you're looking for a vibrant, high-energy brunch, then HUE Restaurant is the place. HUE is my brunch location of choice because the stellar service received from the very moment I enter the restaurant. With themed Sunday brunches every month and a wonderfully situated patio, HUE promises a good time whether you're into being seen or people watching on a very energetic Sunday in Thornton Park.
Truly a neighborhood gem."

"We were the first party to arrive the afternoon we dined with you. Because of this, we thought our service would be incredible but we were wrong. I had to get up one time to actually go find our waitress. Every time she would walk away from our table, it would take her forever to return. The food was average. I have been a loyal customer of HUE for many years and I have to say that this visit was a disappointment! It was a special occasion we were celebrating and the main reason I picked HUE! Not sure if I'll make that same mistake again."

"Would not take a date or important client to the restaurant. We had an issue, that was not resolved, and he Manager on duty was so arrogant and dismissive. We were very embarrassed. The customer is not number one in this place. A real shame, it used to be a very good place to dine."

"We were only in Orlando for one night so I'm not sure about many of the features listed above. I just know we had a fabulous meal and the waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. It's not someplace I would go to on a weekly basis because it's not inexpensive, but it's certainly affordable and worth it for the occasional splurge!"

"Enjoyed our evening - felt a bit like we were accommodated more than welcomed. Not a huge deal, but that might explain why the restaurant two doors down was PACKED and HUE was only about 10% full. Food was excellent - really enjoyed that. It is indeed a great neighborhood meeting place as it is on the corner and there is a lot of foot traffic - If you have a car, parking is easy - behind HUE is a large reasonably priced parking garage with friendly staff."

"Can't go wrong with this place. Good for groups. Good for dates. I recently went with co-workers, and they all thought the food was fantastic. Also, if you go, order a specialty "drink" -- you can get good wine anywhere; HUE makes fantastic mixed drinks."

"Will definitely be returning to Hue; food was very good and service was impeccable. My party of three was seated in the back next to a party of about 20 men. It was noisy at times and slightly annoying but not bad enough to ruin the meal. The mussels were perfect and my salmon was very good but the slightest bit overdone. Our server, Jared, was very professional and was neither neglectful nor overbearing. Looking forward to a return visit."

"A local recommended this bistro to us. We loved it! Great food, good service, cool neighborhood....I look forward to visiting next time we are in Orlando. If you want a quiet setting you should sit inside- not in the bar area. The bar and outdoor seating is lively."
