Grilled Jail Island Salmon

This dish is named for the island off the coast of the Canadian province of New Brunswick where this Atlantic salmon is raised, and then shipped in as little as 48 hours to Deep Blu Seafood Grille at the Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek in Orlando, Fla.

Florida food just got more reputable and recognized, with new rankings on the prestigious AAA Diamond List.

A dozen restaurants in the Orlando area landed on the list, with Victoria & Albert's in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa ranking at the highest level of satisfaction and experience -- an honor of five diamonds. The restaurant was first given the title in 2000 and scored it again this year as one of 67 restaurants ranked at Five Diamonds.

Deep Blu guarantees a line-to-plate time of no more than 36 hours, allowing diners to indulge in treats such as king crab, scallops, grouper and lobster at their absolute freshest – while those who don’t have a taste for seafood can pick from some of the best steaks available in Florida. Perhaps the stand-out dish on the menu, however, is the Deep Blu crab cakes. Molded from 98-99% crab meat, (no stodgy breadcrumbs here) this starter receives a striking amount of praise from those who taste it.

For the second straight year, deep blu captures honors for Best Service. “Attentive,’’ “professional,’’ “charming’’ and “knowledgeable’’ are words diners use in online reviews to describe their servers, who have the backing of a kitchen that over the years has ranked at or near the top in terms of seafood quality and preparation.

Restaurants at this level offer a distinctive fine-dining experience and attentive service, according to AAA. Menu offerings are typically distinguished by highly creative chefs using top-quality ingredients and an upscale ambience. deep blu Seafood Grille is part of a select group of establishments within North America. Currently, just 665 restaurants throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean hold the AAA Four Diamond Rating.
