Restaurants for Galentine's Day in Orlando
The Hampton Social
“Rosé All Day” along International Drive at The Hampton Social. This place is just perfect for Galentine's Day in Orlando or Girls' Night Out.
Contact the restaurant to ask about reserving one of the rosé lounges with bottomless rosé + (1) appetizer for $50 as part of their Galentine's Day special.
The menu is mostly coastal-inspired shareable plates and entrees like the Crab + Shrimp Bruschetta and the Sparkling Seafood Tower. But when we dined with our own girl squad we discovered other yummy plates suitable for anyone not into seafood.
The craft cocktails like the Starlet Espresso Martini served with glitter and the I Glitterally Can't, are fun to sip. And the Hampton Frosé, made with their signature rosé is a fun choice on a warm Orlando afternoon. For the ultimate celebration, you can splurge on a large format cocktail served in a massive seashell.
The shareable donut drops are divine, so save room for dessert! Please note, the food and drinks in these images were provided complimentary.
Girls' Night Out at Highball & Harvest
Highball & Harvest at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando
For an upscale night out with your girl gang, host your Galentine’s Day GNO at Highball & Harvest. This cozy signature restaurant nestled in the Ritz-Carlton offers a Cocktail Table experience where you can sip on a menu of their hand-crafted cocktails. You can even learn about your drinks from an experienced mixologist as you enjoy them.
Call 407-206-2400 to make reservations for up to 8 people.
The Glass Knife
While not an official Galentine's Day event, The Glass Knife has a handful of Valentine's Day-themed desserts worth mentioning. Round up your crew and stop in to try one of the specialties. We’re loving their new donut drop, a vegan brioche filled with raspberry jam and topped off with an almond glaze, salted almond crunch, raspberry crisps, and raspberry chocolate stripes.
You can also grab a chocolate raspberry tart, heart-shaped macaron, or cherry Boston cream donut. Yum!!
