Knife & Spoon
Florida
Knife & Spoon is the steak and seafood restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, developed around chef John Tesar’s approach to dry-aged beef. The kitchen combines classic steakhouse ideas with Florida seafood and regional ingredients, giving the menu a connection to Central Florida rather than relying solely on imported steakhouse staples. Dry-aged cuts form a central part of the selection, with seafood and seasonal produce providing alternatives and accompaniments. A chef’s-choice dinner offers a shorter curated route through the kitchen’s cooking. The restaurant sits within Grande Lakes’ wider dining collection, where the resort’s Whisper Creek Farm supplies fresh ingredients to its restaurants.
