“Customer service was great. Lynn was very attentive and nice plus my food was awesome. Definitely recommend“

“We love this first watch and had great service from our waitress! I definitely would recommend for a sit down brunch. If you're looking for a fast meal this is not the spot. The restaurant is a pretty typical atmosphere shabby chique farmhouse aesthetic it's not a brunch to impress but it is a consistently good and fun place to go on a date or with your family after church on a Sunday!“

“Cute little shop that cares about quality and their customers. The restaurant is always clean and the food is very consistent in the quality department which is rare these days. Also, there is no need to ask for the fries to be well done, they are perfectly golden & salted every time. Our family loves this place so please visit so they never go out of business! The parking lot can get busy when the high school lets out, still worth it.“

“Even though it's a bit of a drive from my house, it's always worth it coming out here. I'm an addict to the "Mac Attack" which is an amazing grilled cheese with macaroni and cheese in it. You can tell they love their cheese, it's all over the place, including a decorative periodic table of cheeses covering most of one wall. The service has always been great, and I can't say enough about the food, it's sooo good every time I've come here. Definitely a perfect spot when you're craving that special grilled cheese!“

“5 stars all around for sure. Heard so many great things about this place so I decided to try it and I will definitely be coming back. Our server Lwren was incredibly sweet and attentive, one of the best we have had. She provided so many amazing recommendations and made sure our experience was the very best. Make sure you get the gator bites if you decide to try this place out :)“

“We did not have reservations but stopped in to see if we could sit at the bar. The bar was just as packed but the hostess said there were "low seats" at the upstairs bar. They are definitely low, we felt like small kids sitting at the big table. But Paul the bartender was stellar and the food was out of this world fantastic. We asked if he could add vodka to the cherry smash and he said absolutely! We shared fried gnocchi, crispy Mac and cheese bites, and meatballs in the most heavenly bed of pillowy cheesy polenta I have ever tasted. We ended with frozen Dole Whip Pineapple with vodka which was by far the best version of this that we have had. It must have been the moscato and the vodka. We will definitely plan dinner reservations on a future trip, we really loved Wine Bar George.“

“Excellent service! EVERYONE was really nice!“

“As soon as I came in sarah greeted me with kindness and helped me with the menu which was amazing and made me feel at home.I got the ceo which was amazing.Ill definitely be coming back here in the future with my family.Vegetarian options: They had burgers that you can eat if you don’t eat meat“

“Great place to take the fam any time of day. Everyone always happy here. Love it!“

“Great service and their menu this time of the year is absolutely wonderful. We had really good wine flights, flatbread + appetizers (great salads, crab cake, asparagus soup) then the main meal (wonderful sea bass, loin of lamb and gnocchi). Our server was patient, helpful, had good conversations (brief, not overwhelming), funny and on top of it all with our orders! Great guy!“

“Good service and Nice atmosphere.“

“Best restaurant in town. I stayed in the Holiday Inn across the street. I ordered the Burger and the seasoning is crazyyy the food will blow your mind. Would definitely recommend this place“

“Great place to drink. Aaaaasaa“

“X Everything exactly like the best snack bars in Brazil. Fresh fries, clean and attractive environment. Even though it's outdoors (in winter), it has a gas heater that makes the space warm and even more cozy.I highly recommend it and I will be back again.“

“Great food, cold beer. We were able to snag a full-service table and had Collier as a server. One of the most polite people we have ran into. Wonderful dude. If you get the chance, it’s worth the visit. Ask for Collier!“

“La comida es muy buena y el servicio excelente, por Yamid, lo recomiendo 100%“

“Everything I have tried has been fantastic. For a small business I can’t believe the quality and value of the many delicious items I have had. Please go check this place out and support a fantastic local business.“

“My husband, Al, and I dined at the Chef's Table on Feb 19 2024 and celebrated my birthday. We ordered from the chef's tasting menu and could not have been more pleased. It was one of the best restaurant meals we have had in a very long time. You see I am a classically trained and award-winning chef in my own right so my standards are quite high and I am, more often than not, disappointed in restaurants, even fine dining establishments. Al started with the "Heartbreaker" Cocktail, which was excellent then he had the mushroom and chive crepe torte for an appetizer, exceptional and enough for 2 to share actually so we brought part of it back to the hotel and had it for lunch the next day. He then chose the Duck confit, also outstanding. For dessert he had the chocolate torte with the toasted marshmallow ice cream and caramel sauce, again, beyond delicious and the ice cream was the best thing i've had in my mouth in a long time. Al also did the wine pairing with his courses. I sampled each pairing and they were perfectly matched. I tried the Mr. Pink as an aperitif and loved every drop but the pink peppercorn's stole the show. Then I started with the foie gras. Every bite just brings you to your knees. This was the main reason we selected The Chef's Table to begin with because I had to have foie gras. I chose the filet for my entree and I must say it may have been one of the best filet's i've ever eaten. Cooked perfectly medium rare with a char that was to die for. I brought part of my filet back to the hotel to go with the torte for lunch the next day. Even warmed up it was delicious. For dessert I had the mission fig bread pudding, which had a fantastic texture and was the perfect level of sweetness. I paired the pecan pie martini with it and it was decadent and complimented the dessert perfectly. I did not opt for the wine pairing as a sip of two from Al's were enough for me. Our server, JJ, was attentive, funny, and generous with her time. The manager came by twice to chat with us. The atmosphere was romantic but not stuffy and we had a great view of the kitchen, which as a chef is simply theatre for me. Lastly, the prices were not stupid. This kind of tasting menu can easily run well over $100 pp without the wine pairing. I appreciate the fact that, while affordable, it was elegant and indulgent. We will never visit Orlando again without returning to The Chef's Table and I will recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you for such an amazing experience. Amanda & Al Fraioli“

“If I could give them 6 stars I would! The service was absolutely astounding— McKenzie, Trisha, and Rob were more than accommodating to my allergy needs and other requests. It was beautiful to see the staff working as a team and supporting one another. The food was incredible and it is now one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando. I would absolutely recommend the deviled eggs, mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese— each blew me off my feet. And the cake pop that came with the hummingbird is insane. For me to have this experience at the END of the night speaks volumes about the quality and integrity of the restaurant.Dietary restrictions: The manager came to my table to discuss my dietary needs with me to ensure the kitchen kept me safe. The gesture was very genuine and I really appreciated their response.“

“Daniel was superb , great knowledge, good haircut, super personable and black n blue , best I’ve had yet“

“Disney and culinary excellence are not synonymous. Absolutely not. I had my shares of disappointing dining experience at Disney theme parks on countless occasions.But some exceptions pleasantly emerged recently and Satu’lli Canteen is a prime example.This quick service restaurant is located in the Avatar section (Pandora land) in Animal Kingdom. Using the Disney app to order food is highly recommended. Finding a table is a breeze because there’s a cast member at the door to screen out non-dining guests.I heard so many good things about about this place and I ended up getting the beef/chicken over rice and bean with scallion sauce that tastes and looks like chimichuri sauce. And I also got the dumpling with vegetable slaw and chips.Totally met my expectations, I have to say. Each entree was designed in such a way that they can bang out thousands of orders without paralyzing the kitchen. While accommodating gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan and other dietary restrictions. Ingenuity!This place should be the prototype for all Disney dining places.Dietary restrictions: From the Disney App, you can place an order that accommodates variety of dietary restrictions.“

“Great food and amazing service“

“Great service!!! Fish tacos are amazing and the cheese curds were fantastic too“

“Byleigh is one of the best bartenders great fast service with a smile and will make you laugh.“

“Everytime I've been to walt disney world[30+] we have eaten at the hoop-dee-doo musical revue. The fried chicken and strawberry shortcake always bring us back. If the fried chicken and strawberry shortcake isn't enough they add such a memorable and catchy dinner show that will keep you wanting to return.“

“Four of us dined here. This was our second time. Everything from the food, service and atmosphere was five stars. I recommend the wine pairing. The time in between the courses was perfect. This was a four hour dinner so be prepared. Nothing more to say as everything was perfect.$$$$$“

“Wonderful first experience. Glad I tried it. Food was definitely the best at a park I’ve had. The steak was tender and huge and comparable to outside fine dining. Cauliflower bites were awesome.“

“Excellent service. Delicious food“

“Just wanted to thank Sierra for her service when I come w my friends. She always makes everything easy, suggest different things, and never makes us feel like a burden with complicated orders. This place is very convenient in location and to watch the game and fights. Thank you again, Sierra!“

“We came in for a group gathering. Started at the bar and JB was terrific, very attentive and on top of his game. Once all of our party arrived, we moved to a table. Food is fantastic. We had the guacamole and chips, the cheese curds, the jumbo pretzel, and the onion ring tower. All terrific. I had the BBQ chicken salad, it was great. We had a party of 9 and everyone got something different, nobody was disappointed. I would recommend to anyone.“

“Had a fabulous evening. Service was excellent. But it was a late booking as there were no earlier tables available - which was disappointing. All the staff were friendly & professional. Would recommend family and friends.“

“Our server Billy was awesome. Very nice environment. However, it was shocking that with a tip, I spent about 90 bucks to feed a family of 4. Two kids and two adults, times have changed, I felt like the price was way too expensive. Also, the food wasn't as hot as I was expecting, and my French toast was pretty small, I was hoping for a decent portion size.?“

“The food here was phenomenal!Wife and I had dinner and a few drinks. We started with the ceviche and the blue crab beignets. The beignets were surprisingly wonderful! The ceviche was fantastic as well.We split a fillet which they cut in half for us and cooked it perfectly. The fillet honestly was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. As a side, we had the lobster mac & cheese, which was very delicious with large chunks of lobster.We finished off dinner with a salted caramel brownie, which was to die for.Highly recommend this place for a great night out!“

“Highly recommend for breakfast. Staff was friendly, food was delivered fast, and it was DELICIOUS!“

“Love love love this place! The bowling is fun. Drinks are amazing and food is delicious!!! And the ranch dressing…. Please bottle it and sell it!“
