I visited this restaurant on Valentine's Day expecting something special. The view is very nice, you can look out over the runways and taxiways at the airport. Service was decent too but the food was only so-so and it is fairly expensive. There are many better places to eat and if you are eating at the airport eat at the Hyatt's other restaurant, McCoy's Bar and Grill , which is more casual, less expensive and the food is better. I work at the airport and have tried every restaurant and McCoy's is my favorite.

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.

The service was great and the staff was friendly. We went as a group and we ordered quite a bit. They had a wine selection and other drinks available. They had little warm bread rolls! So warm and yummy! The butter was decent but if they had oil and vinegar it would've been better. I ordered the romaine salad which had a Caesar dressing along with an anchovy. Loved it. The 14 oz NY strip was decent but the only reason I ordered it was because of the Chimichurri sauce and well I was disappointed. It barely mimicked the taste and had so much oil it in. Where is the Chimichurri sauce!?! I wish I was able to have dessert but I had a 14 oz steak. LOL.

Hemisphere Steak & Seafood Restaurant is located high atop the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport - I believe it's on the 9th floor. I had breakfast here one morning. I ordered the Chorizo Scramble - a scrambled egg dish with bell peppers, onions, Chorizo, cheese, and more. I also added some smoked salmon and bacon on the side from the breakfast buffet, plus a glass of tomato juice. I asked for some hot sauce, they brought out those tiny bottles of Tabasco sauce, I asked if they had any other hot sauce, and was told "No." I then asked if they had any Sriracha sauce - turns out they did They brought me a small ramekin with some Sriracha sauce - which I added to the eggs, Service was excellent. The restaurant has a good view of part of the Airport, although early in the morning - the sun coming in the windows was a bit blinding.

The hostess was rude and pretentious. This restaurant is in the Hyatt and the front desk said no reservations were required. However, the condescending hostess saw that we had two children in our party and began listing reasons why we couldn't be seated without reservations. It appears that she has not been informed that this hotel does business with the Disney cruise line and should expect guests with children. Go to McCoy's two floors down instead.
It's the perfect opportunity to submit another 1-star rating. Afer finishing my powerlifitng competition, my friend and I were wavering on where to eat. So, we boiled it down to either this abomination or Macaroni Grill; unfortunately we chose the former. We ordered two appetizers and an entree each. The appetizers were the fried calamari and the crab cake, which we were told by the the waitress that were "very fresh". This was a complete lie. The fried calamari was almost the thickness of dental floss and was coated in a vast amount of deep fried flour. The crab cake was an insult to any decent crab cake prepared with fresh, vibrant jumbo lump crab. Again, the flesh was clearly frozen and you could not discern the crab flesh from the remainder of the crab cake filler. The corn chowder that accompanied the crab cake was also filled with frozen vegetables. For our entrees, my friend selected the swordfish and I had the grouper and red shrimp. His sword fish was entirely overcooked, and looked like as if a 4-year old had plated the dish. The grouper I had was sub-par and the fish itself was not cooked to the same consistency throughout. This restaurant had the audacity to serve frozen, tiny shrimp along with the grouper. This is completely unacceptable for a restaurant that charges $32 for this type of dish. I feel disgusted right now. Anyways, this was a learning experience. Never trust any airport restaurant unless it is throughly researched through yelp beforehand.

Not agood value overpriced dels the view food doesn't live up good service as in most restaurants that can't live up to there menu the servers try to save the chef I ha a grouper which was a decent size fillet the I thought the preparation was al little overboard as in trying to makeup for freshness my wife's cucumber gazpacho did not quite live up to the description the restaurant needs to stick to quality ingredients simply prepared as in the asparagus

We stayed over night at the Hyatt. We had a nice breakfast at the Hemisphere. The quality of food was par. My husband and I shared the chorizo & roasted portabella omelet and a bagel. The service was wonderful; very professional and polite. There is also a breakfast buffet that looked promising.

Went here for dinner one night last weekend, as we were looking for a good meal. The staff treat it like a fine dining establishment and it's got a great view of the airport, but that's about it. Prices - Well, they're outrageous for what you actually get - cost $200 for 3 adults to eat dinner (with 1 beer each). The service - well, I am not sure where our waiter was most of the time. Once our order was taken, he disappeared. Our food was delivered by the kitchen staff. We waited :45 mins until AFTER we finished eating, to finally ask another waiter to go find ours and that we wanted to leave. Our drinks were completely empty, the table was full of plates and were just sitting there for this entire time. I've gotten better service from the DMV. The food - My wife and I ordered the Filet Mignon, medium-rare. It was cooked completely through and tasted like cardboard. I may have sent it back, but remember, our waiter pulled a Houdini. When our waiter finally returned, he apologized for being "busy", but we were his only table. He had already discounted 10% off the bill, which I never asked for and found a little insulting. Perhaps they're used to guests complaining about the service and default to doing this - who knows. Save yourself the trouble, time, and money, and go eat anywhere else but here.

You get what you pay for in life and that is the difference between airport food and this Hyatt restaurant too. Excellent relaxing atmosphere and very good food, and is 4 floors above the airport hustle and noisy bustle. And if you stick with one of the sandwich plates (I had the BBQ pork sandwich) you can keep the cost more reasonable and have economic room for a good glass of wine too. It is well worth it to enjoy a peaceful quality meal. Of course all of that only happens if you have the time because you arrived at the airport early and/or you flight is seriously delayed. Still, this is one restaurant that makes going to the airport early worth your while. Highly recommended.

High prices for average breakfast food. When I first started traveling to Orlando for work I stayed regularly at the Hyatt. The Hemisphere is a nice restaurant found on the 8th floor of the hotel. They offer a great two story floor to ceiling view of the runway and the decor is very nice and open. The reason I am rating the restaurant a 2 is because for a continental breakfast (eggs, juice, muffin and maybe some floppy waffles) will set you back $23-$25. You can find a better breakfast elsewhere for a lot less in Orlando.
We came here for dinner since we had to stay at the Hyatt at the Orlando airport overnight to get ready for a Disney Cruise the next morning. The food was very well prepared for a hotel restaurant in the airport! But for the price, it had to be. This was not your Black Angus or Outback, the food was good quality and very tasty. Service was also very good and the complimentary fresh baked bread with butter accompaniments were totally delicious. Some highlights were the escargot spring rolls for appetizer and the lamb chops and the wagyu beef steak.

I probably never would have eaten here, except for the fact that long ago I had gotten a $50 coupon for the restaurant. I'm glad we went, although even with $50 off the bill I feel like we paid more than the meal was really worth. Of course, there's the requisite $12 bottle of wine being sold for $45 to start things off right. We then each ordered the 8 oz. filet mignon ($38 each) with two sides, asparagus ($7) and mashed potatoes ($7). We had both ordered our steaks medium rare, but while my wife's steak was cooked just right, mine was medium, approaching medium well. It wasn't even close. Surprising that two steaks of the same cut, of the same size, that were ordered at the same time at the same temperature could come out so completely different. The mashed potatoes were good, and the asparagus was some of the largest I've seen -- the sides were probably the highlight of the meal for me. Overall, not a terrible meal, just severely overpriced. I guess that's normal for a hotel restaurant though. Also, "Steak" is in the name of the restaurant. You should to be able to cook them consistently.

Great service! Ask for Sherry... She's a doll. Manager stopped by to chat... Very friendly. NY strip was a bit overcooked but still moist and tasty. Above average wine list. Great ambiance. Salad was top notch... Especially with the bacon. A hidden gem. A must if ur staying overnight.

I checked into the Hyatt and the font desk recommended Hemispheres. After a long day of travel I was looking forward to a nice relaxing dinner. I walked in and the place had a lot of empty tables. I was told that I couldn't be seated until 8:45. It was 8:37 which made me wonder what the attitude was about. It's a hotel restaurant at an airport. You'd think they would cater to travelers. They then started with an amuse which was a nice tomato soup with a cold stake mini. grilled cheese. If you're going to act fancy, you have to pull it off. They asked if I wanted still or sparkling water. I said sparkling and they served me still. The black grouper was good. I asked for a naked potato with no sour cream and extra butter. It came with sour cream and no extra butter. Not a bad meal just a place a little full of itself and not able to live up to its view of itself

I would say first of all that the service was outstanding. Our server was Ruben and he really made a concentrated effort to make sure all our needs were met. My strawberry salad was delicious and artfully plated. The vegetarian pasta was more gloppy than creamy. I would say I am happy they have vegetarian choices however they need to be considerably improved. My colleagues ordered snapper and salmon. The fish was indeed a photo taking opportunity as it was quite creative and interesting in appearance. Very convenient as an airport hotel and quite nice Tucked away in the corner. Would I return? Yes, but with hopefully improvement on the main entrée.
