Florida Spirit guest review of the week

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

5 star review“This was our second time staying in one of your florida spirit homes. We love the Windwood bay community and we love the homes. We had 12 of us and it was so nice not being scrunched in hotel room. Stepping right outside your back door to the pool is wonderful. There was everything in the kitchen you would ever hope for. Now everyone wants to find a bigger home for the next time because they want to bring their friends.”

Great new restaurant near Dinsey World!

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Sake is a new Sushi, Steak and Wine bar and restaurant not far Walt Disney World.  Last night me and two other from Florida Spirit Vacation Homes were in the mood for a really nice meal but didn’t want the hassle of driving into the congestion of Highway 192 and Disney property.  Sake is in the new Posner Center just a few exits west of Disney World Drive off Interstate 4.
Sake’s has a great relaxing feeling to it and is very well decorated in a kind of contemporary Zen look for lack of a better description.  The staff was really friendly and explained the vast menu to us in detail.  The Sushi selection is a good as it gets in Orlando.  The Wine list is also very extensive.
We started off with the sweet chili calamari and a bowl of the clear soap.  Not everyone with me was in to Sushi so they ordered the seared duck which he loved.  After sampling different sushi dished I ordered the sushi grade Ahi Tuna steak seared and it was amazing.
After a great meal and a really enjoyable time I did ask about the deserts.  Even if you can’t eat anymore you need to order their version of a Key Lime pie.  It is very similar to a normal Key Lime pie but not as tart.  They make the pie on the property and it is worth taking home for later.
They offer lunch and dinner.  To learn more go to www.sakesushisteak.com.
