   I reserved in advance for Mykonos Nights at Orla which was described to be an “Escape to the Greek Isles where Mediterranean flavors, handcrafted cocktails, & vibrant beats come together for an unforgettable evening. Indulge in light, flavorful bites paired with signature cocktails.” It seemed exclusive (see photo below). This is what went wrong: 1) The server. He didn’t really know what was going on. Seemed in a rush. When I asked about the Mediterranean bites he had to ask a coworker. He came back & said they were served from 10-12. What?! There was even a sign when you checked in that said 8-12. It was also listed on the website. I was irritated & just ordered a drink plus the fried cheese and charred octopus. My significant other was not as forgiving about the entire situation & pressed the server for more info so he suddenly brought out a drink specials menu that he said could be served now (but the Mediterranean bites were still not being served until 10:00p). The drinks on that menu were significantly less expensive than the one I had just ordered. The server was just plain confused so he went and got the manager. 2) The manager. He was nice and tried. I have to give him that but when we showed him the website & the fact that it stated 8-12 midnight, he looked confused as well. He told us he would allow us to order off the Mediterranean bites menu now & brought it out. That menu included the charred octopus & fried cheese that I had just ordered but it was the SAME PRICE as the regular menu. The mgr’s response to this was just that it simplified searching for those items on the full menu! HUH?! We just split an entree since I was still hungry & planned to head out. 3) Check Out. The drink that I was told would be comped was not so the server had to get the manager (again) to fix it. Overall we enjoyed the food but were feeling betrayed by the marketing ploy that made this appear to be a special experience. Plus the server never once apologized!

   Food & drinks were fine, not great. Restaurant knew it was our anniversary yet tried to seat us at the worst table in the restaurant. Second table wasn't much better. Very unfortunate....

   Caution: be very specific about the number of plates of each dish that you want. Our server just assumed 2x until we realized what he was doing. The salmon dish tasted weird. While the texture and temp were good it tasted like fishy pumpkin spice. I would not dine here again nor recommend this restaurant.

   My server Jamal was incredible. Such a caring personality. I was disappointed that it took 40 minutes to get an appetizer. Food was delicious and drinks were outstanding. Would visit again, especially if the restaurant improves wait time to get food on the table

   Every course was extraordinary. The salt baked sea bream, humus with GF bread, and yogurt sundae are things to dream about.

   Great menu choices. Our group opted for a variety of appetizers and shared the encrusted Sea Breem. Everything was excellent as was staff. It was a slow night at Mandalay but worked out fine.

   I expected much better food and flavors based on the prices charged. $4.00 per person for bread with the meal.

   We ordered the tasting menu. After waiting an hour and a half for the main course, the steak was over cooked and the lobster and chicken were dry. It was definitely nit worth the price.
