Hemisphere at the Hyatt Regency is perched on the ninth floor of Terminal A, with Executive Chef Jeffrey Powell, a 16-year Hyatt veteran, taking advantage of seasonal sourcing to concoct menu items like locally-made prosciutto atop squid ink linguini from Trevi Pasta, and lamb chops from Palmetto Creek Farms.
Went for breakfast with a 4 hour wait until our flight. Excellent environment, never felt rushed, attentive, friendly staff and good coffee. Highly recommend for layovers, etc. So much better than waiting in the departure lounge for a flight.
Stopped in for breakfast while killing time waiting. Food quality was excellent, staff was friendly and efficient, not overly noisy like many airport resteraunts. For my taste the the chorizo could use a little more meat and less egg, but that's part preference and part cost cutting in the kitchen.
Hi there, short review here. The service was fine, friendly and timely. Food on the other hand was very bad. I had the tempura vegetables and the pulled pork rib on steamed buns. The vegetables were greasy and normally it should be crisp but it was thin, dark and soggy. The steamed buns weren't any different the meat was in big chunks and lacked any real flavor. Please note this is my first experience with this restaurant. Hope it helps
I came here for the first time and I have to say the the quality of the food and service was INCREDIBLE!!! I want everyone to know about this wonderful gem. All of us in my party were extremely pleased.
Hemisphere: a half of the earth, usually divided into northern and southern halves by the equator. The Hemisphere Restaurant located at the airport reflects this definition by giving you two halves of life that most people would assume would not work out. The first is a fine-dining restaurant and the second is the airport. Most people consider going to the Orlando airport a stressful experience, trying to dive left and right onto A or B side, but the truth is that Hemisphere has achieved both an engineering and culinary accomplishment.
When I arrived to the Hyatt there was a team of courtesy valet staff who took my keys, so the night began on a good note. We made our way up 9 floors on the elevator and arrived at the entrance of a modern and well-thought-out restaurant. The entrance entices curiosity. As we made our way in I realized immediately the main asset of this restaurant, besides the food, is a massive window that faces the airport runways; at night, the lights and view are neat, to say the least. The engineering marvel is the ability to be in an airport with sound-proofing as a priority. I could not hear a single plane take off or land, nor the sea of cars running circles, nor any other outside noise, which was unique because we had the view without the sounds. The restaurant has taken a modern approach, which is a good trend most restaurants are taking, toward that warm, farm table restaurant style decor you see a lot now.
The food was thought out and well-crafted. The highlight for me was the Haricot Verts (green beans and a egg) which has a delicious taste from the use of nduja spicy Italian salumi, and sauteed red onions. It was served with a sunny side up organic egg, which requires you to poke it and allow the yolk to mix thoroughly with the green beans. I loved it. The second was the Churrasco strip steak. It was a fine cut of meat that was seared correctly on the outside to make the seasoning stand out, but not overtake the great natural taste of a good cut of steak.
Then the end came with a variety of sweets delivered after an enclave of great foods. All the sweets were welcomed, but the one I enjoyed the most was the Saffron Arborio Kheer. At first I thought it was a twist of a Thai dessert, mango rice pudding, but found out it was an Indian Rice pudding. The texture and sweetness were so good. The amount of fusions of ingredients in this dessert leaves me incapable of talking about it or breaking it down. It is just really, really good.
The staff were polite, professional, and willing to explain a dish. They genuinely were happy to be engaged and took pride in their role as culinary guides in our culinary adventure.
After dinning for Thanksgiving at your restaurant several times before, unfortunately this year we found our selves dinning in cramped fancy cafeteria style restaurant.
What happened to the pleasant atmosphere, the white table cloths, space between tables?
A Thanksgiving buffet, where the salads' section occupied 3 to maximum 4 ft: pots with lids that you could not placed anywhere to serve yourself: a courteous gentlemen serving the ham but dry and supper salty. Most of the rest menu simple and tasteless.
One of the beauties of the previous set up was the view to the airport runways now you opted to block the view with window designs.
Sorry to tell you but now your place just a Cafeteria
Great fillet mignon, also the cream of corn was very tasty. Will dine here again for sure. The best part is the view :)
Had my anniversary dinner with my boyfriend here last night. We had great service! Chef Thomas also had us try a few items he's putting on his new menu I'll just say I am looking forward to trying them all!
We had the filet & scallops with creamed corn and asparagus, followed by a sweet surprise for the special occasion.
It was such a nice evening looking out onto the runways! The only thing I would like to see improvement on is the overall "look" inside. It could use a little updating.
A really nice upscale restaurant located within the Hyatt hotel in the Orlando international Airport. Prices are more on the higher side but the food is delicious and the sides are big enough for 2 people. You also get a spectacular view of the runway as the restaurant is on the 9th floor and directly in front of the runway so you see all the planes take off and land. Amazing!
