Narrative:
Cleared visual approach to runway 18R at mco but told to remain above 2500 ft until the VOR. First officer flying the aircraft did not hear the altitude restr and consequently intercepted ILS GS. This resulted in crossing the VOR below 2500 ft. Climbed back up to altitude after deviation noted. Restr makes for a very steep approach.
