My husband and I recently visited Richard Blais' restaurant in Orlando, Four Flamingos.Terri Peters

Richard Blais' Orlando restaurant, Four Flamingos, is one of my favorite date spots.
On a recent visit, my husband and I dined on off-menu specials and wagyu beef.

I've been watching celebrity chef Richard Blais compete on TV for years, so I was excited when he opened a restaurant near me in Florida.

Since Four Flamingos opened at Orlando's Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in 2021, it's become a recurring date-night spot for me and my husband.

Here's what our recent trip to the restaurant was like.

The atmosphere feels like stepping into an Old Florida vacation home.
