MCO Hotel Adds Contemporary Dining to Its Menu

Crimson Tavern Opens at Orlando Airport Marriott


ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwired - May 9, 2013) - Orlando is known for its world-class theme parks and convention facilities, and thanks to the newest addition at the Orlando Airport Marriott, visitors can now add dining to that list.

With the opening of Crimson Tavern restaurant at this hotel near Orlando Airport, both visitors and locals have a dining destination that offers a creative take on contemporary cuisine in a setting that's casual and friendly yet professional and chic.

Led by executive chef Tony Hull, Crimson Tavern offers a simple, straightforward menu with flavors that are anything but. Hull uses his more than 30 years of experience, classical French cooking training and the best seasonal, local ingredients -- many from the hotel's 2,500-square-foot chef's garden -- to create inspiring dishes to share with a group or savor for oneself.

Open for both lunch and dinner, Crimson Tavern offers small bites such as Benton Ham, served with a side of pepper jelly and warm biscuits; black-eyed hushpuppies with cilantro chutney; shrimp ceviche with avocado and plantain chips; and duck empanada with a salsa molida. For larger appetites, this Orlando MCO hotel's restaurant offers a variety of burgers, from veggie and Angus beef; creative sandwiches such as the pastrami Reuben; and heaping salads including a steak wedge. Desserts are decadent and include a warm butterscotch sundae with salted peanuts, whipped cream and crumbled ginger snaps.

While Crimson Tavern has only been open for a short time, it's already being noted for "dishes that aren't afraid to push the bounds of every day fare found in Orlando," according to Ricky Ly of TastyChomps.com. "I can imagine myself coming here often after work to share a few drinks with friends and bites."
