“We got there and there was a 2.5 hour wait. So we decided to just go in and walk around and found the bar area had many open seats. We hopped on a bar stool and had a great dinner watching the huge aquarium with lots of big fish to watch while we ate! Great atmosphere, good food and everyone was so nice! Highly recommend!”
“The food was delicious and there is a great selection of local beer. The service was top notch! Enjoy”
“Bacon was our server extremely attentive and extremely knowledgeable. There was an issue with our steak and it was immediately taken care of and the manager personally took care of and made sure it was good. Next level of customer service. Food was great!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Sam (our server) and Angeline (our Sommelier), along with a very nice young man (been there about 8 months) who brought us in (sorry I didn’t catch his name) made sure we wanted for nothing. We asked for suggestions and they delivered all the way through dessert!! Professional, engaging, and genuinely nice people! Oh, and the food!!!!”
“We have been coming to wine bar George for years and always have a great time! Chris and Paul are excellent! Chris was very friendly and welcoming, he immediately understood the slow paced experience we were looking for and was attentive without overwhelming the first night we were at wine bar George. The second night, Paul was very knowledgeable and took time to suggest and chat about some unique wines that we really enjoyed!! Thank you both so much!”

“Was visiting and wanted go check Disney Springs and ofc I had to get ice cream so my boyfriend and I want to Salt & Straw - Nevin helped us out and was so amazing! Super patient and not only let us try all the flavors but also gave his opinion and some information how the ice cream is made! We ended up getting honey lavender and panther coffee sooo good :)”

“Rainforest Cafe is amazing, they have really great food and the staff is great as well. Our server Raychelle did a FANTASTIC JOB! she was very helpful! Service and atmosphere and food was awesome! The bathrooms we're clean as well, store was fun to look around at. I will definitely come back to this place! The food came out fast as well and was fresh! The only downside I would give about this place is, If people are coming just for the rainforest Cafe there should be separate parking so we don't need to pay $30 for parking, other than that it was a great time!”
“My wife and I have been here twice during our short stay in Orlando. The first time we came they were about to close, but they still welcomed us with a warmth greeting. We had a really good feeling about this place and turned out we were right! Great vibe, great staff, and great foods! What else can you ask for?
Special thanks to Riley, Chris, and James - you all made our stay in Orlando wonderful! Shout out to Rob for putting together such a solid team!”
“A Flavorful Evening with Stellar Service We stopped in for apps and drinks this evening and had a fantastic experience. Our server, Nayeli, was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and quick with spot-on recommendations. The clothesline bacon was a definite highlight. A savory-sweet indulgence, but what really surprised me was the rosemary garnish. Just a touch of it with each bite completely opened up the flavor—adding a subtle, aromatic layer that elevated the whole dish. It's an unexpected twist that truly works. Also, shoutout to the bar: the scotch Old Fashioned was one of the best I’ve had—easily in my top five. Balanced, smooth, and clearly made with intention. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates bold flavors, thoughtful cocktails, and sharp, attentive service. We’ll absolutely be back.”
“Excellent option for Disney Sprimgs. Word of caution - don't rely on the OpenTable text option to notify this venue if you are running late. We were 5 minutes late, had sent a text, and they still cancelled our reservation as a “no-show” even though there's a 15 minute grace period. Ultimately we're seated but not until we had to wait for a table. Asked why we were cancelled as a “no-show” only 5 minutes late, and no explanation and no apology just a well get you seated if you wait. Once past this annoyance, the food and service were excellent. May be a case of the staff being too busy to care about how they treat an individual family.”
“My girlfriend and I have been a fan tournament of champions and guy’s grocery games and were excited to try out Maneet’s restaurant. I will honestly say this the best Indian food I have ever had. Everything was fresh and delicious. The chicken Tika flatbread and bread flight were highlights”
“Great pizza that’s made infront of you and is ready quickly. This is like a subway but for pizza-you go along the counter and choose as many toppings as you like. Offers vegan cheese and lots of vegan toppings. If you let them know you’re vegan, they’ll change their gloves and use dedicated equipment/fresh tubs of toppings and sauce to avoid cross contamination, and one staff member will deal with your order to minimise cross contamination which is great. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about vegans and what is suitable. Great pizza, loved it for a quick and easy meal. Prices really reasonable too.”

“I was about getting a new home for myself and family with my savings after my retirement, not know i was interacting with a swindler who told me she’s a realtor. Now i see reasons why it’s good buying properties in person, But I thank God I was able to recover all the money with the help of Lisa the newly appointed lost fund recovery agent by Donald Trump, she’s an amazing woman. If you’ve been swindled before then I can help you with her info so you can reach out to her for your recovery”
“Wonderful restaurant! A quick monorail or boat ride from Magic Kingdom. We shared the lobster bisque, probably the best I have ever had. We had the blackened redfish and the vegetable paella. The veggies in the paella were roasted and full of flavor but the dish was a bit spicy. The fish was terrific. The views of the lake and Magic Kingdom are beautiful and the dock is a great place to watch the nightly electric water pageant.”
“Not one of the best places in the park to stop at but they do have fast counter food service and refreshments. There also are some drums, as part of their theming, so the kids can play with them and have fun, plus it has shade. Not the best but a good option if you are nearby.”
“Disney world makes the perfect iconic Turkey Leg. It is incredibly and perfectly juicy, tender, flavourful, huge, and filling. It is available here at Fife & Drum Tavern in Epcot which also sells beer, popcorn, hot dogs, and other disney snacks like Mickey Pretzels with cheese. Makes for a quick and tasty meal on the go as you explore the world showcase.”
“Reasonably priced and located near the water with views of the floating electric parade. The only downside is that it is entirely outdoors so it can be uncomfortably hot or cold. It's not connected to the main lodge so if it's raining, you'll get wet walking here. My favorite was the campfire mousse. Beautiful and delicious.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Experience! I absolutely loved this place! The food options were fantastic – there was something for everyone, and everything we tried was delicious. The service was tremendously good, and I have to give a special shoutout to Ahmed from Morocco, who took care of us. He was incredibly attentive, always had a smile on his face, and truly delivered top-tier service from start to finish. They even surprised me by singing Happy Birthday, which made the whole evening feel extra special. I felt like I was right at home – warm, welcomed, and celebrated. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality, but this place nailed it. Can't wait to come back!”
“My family of four - 2 adults and 2 kids had dinner at this restaurant after a long and fun day at the Magic Kingdom. We enjoyed the rolls, they were served fresh, our server explained everything about our choices and made sure we were well cared for. We will return the next time we visit DisneyWorld.”
“We had but a mere breakfast before Magic Kingdom but I can honestly say this was the best breakfast I’ve had in a long while. Just from the first bite of home fries, I was hooked. Usually home fries are either not cooked enough, mushy. These were amazing and the eggs Benedict was perfection. I’ll be back tomorrow!”
“We had a great experience! Our server was quite conscientious and exceptionally helpful during our visit. Our drinks were always full. The manager took my order as I have several allergies and we found this was quite a pleasant change to our usual routine. The food was incredibly delicious and we left sated! Hats off to the bartender for accommodating the mojito without simple syrup (unsweetened). It was fantastic! We look forward to returning soon. PS: the nachos definitely serve more than 2, LOL!”
“My wife and I had dinner at this restaurant during our recent stay at the WDW Swan Hotel. We enjoyed the meals, Basa fish in a parchment paper which was well seasoned and cooked. We will return to this restaurant the next time we visit WDW.”

“Wow, this hit the spot! It's hot, and I am tired from all of the walking, lol. So right in front of us is the Sunshine Tree Terrace. A quick stop 'n go type of place that offers soft-serve ice cream. Their special is this citrusy flavor called Orange Cream Float! The price was $5.29. It reminds me of the creamsicles from years ago. I'm happy again!”
“Very impressed with the service and friendly staff in the Mara. Tucked out of the way near the pool I arrived a few mins before closing after a long day and night in the parks and was not expecting any hot food to still be available but the staff went out of their way to accommodate everyone in line who wanted a late pizza! The food was fresh and really tasty, went back for breakfast in the morning and it was just as good with a good quality choice of food, quick and friendly service. Sat at a table outside near the pool which was a very relaxing way to have breakfast and enjoy the unique atmosphere of this amazing hotel. I'll definitely be back!”
“My kids and I were at Disney springs today, we are in town for the #garysenisefoundations #snowballexpress and one of your workers and older gentleman who was wearing a yellow ball cap/white shirt started talking with them and asked what they were in town for and knew what the shirts they were wearing were about and ended up purchasing their drinks for them. My daughter came out and told me and as she did she started crying because of the kindness he had shown and how much it meant that he knew of our family’s loss, so thank you to this man for your gesture, you made my kids see that the whole world hasn’t forgotten that their dads sacrifice meant something and that their are good people everywhere.”
“10/10 highly recommend. I’m not a drinker at all quite frankly I hate the taste of alcohol in any form but Amorette’s is the only alcoholic slushie I’ve ever had that I don’t taste the wine at all. I guess that’s kind of dangerous but 😂🙃. The pastries and the other little bites are great as well. This is one of my go to stops whenever we come to Orlando.”
“As always an amazing start with Robbie's hospitality greeting us warmly. Carlos was knowledgeable of the menu and had great recommendations. I highly recommend the drunken burger, but it is a messy option...grab a towelette.”

“We had a wonderful breakfast. Both my sister and niece have food allergies and were attended to by both our waiter Tim (who was absolutely fabulous) and the manager Mark when we had a questionable issue that was resolved promptly without incident. The food was fantastic and I was in town visiting them and I was not disappointed in my experience here. Both Tim and Mark ate assets to your team.”
“I go with my mom and our friend for special occasions and it is always exceptional. Last time we went, we went to celebrate a belated Mother’s Day. Yaileen was our server and she is absolutely fabulous!! We have had her before and she always makes our experience unforgettable. Her drink and food recommendations were spot on for everyone and she the sweetest. We will definitely be going back again and again.”
“This trip was my first time in the Avatar-themed space and the internet has long told me to get the drink at Pongu Pongu. I think it’s a cool drink, very colorful and vibrant. But I don’t think it’s something that I would go out of my way to get if I was in Animal Kingdom. If you’re in the area and want something refreshing and tart to drink, go for it.”
“We try to do the Wicked Winedown at the Villains Lair when we are here! We were greeted by an enthusiastic person Scooter, who was helpful and friendly with plenty of energy! His personality set the tone for rest of the night for us! Our server Dave was polite, friendly and helpful as well! The food was delicious! Watching the fireworks always a good time. Can’t wait to come back again. We have done this at least four times if not more hard to remember. As long as DVC hosts it we will enjoy it! Thanks for another good night! Included some pictures of our food and drinks!”
“A lovely quiet resort, immaculately presented and close to Disney Springs. We had a studio which was great for our family, really spacious. Lots of storage and useful kitchenette. Daily housekeeping was great, plentiful supply of towels, coffee, soaps etc. Wider resort was lovely to walk around. We were in Paddock which is a good distance between the main springs area and Disney springs. The pool area in paddock has a slide and kids splash park with a great bar, which has a drinks station for resort mugs open till 10. Buses were not full as we were on stop 3, not far to walk to our room in block 5. Used the artists palette for a few supplies and one breakfast. Nice but there were better quick serve food selections in non DVC resorts. All staff were great, quick to help and made our stay a breeze. Wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend, but more resorts to try out yet.”
“Very good coffee and attention. Oriana and Daisy attended us, super cordial and helpful. Thank you for everything, excellent experience and we were satisfied with the desire to have a delicious coffee.”
“Thanks Emily A for the amazing service. We had a fantastic meal!”

“Disney Springs, c'est le Disney Village de Walt Disney World mais en 10x plus grand que la version parisienne 🗼. On y découvre des centaines de magasins 🛍 et des dizaines de restaurants 🍽 ainsi que des divertissements 🎉 à gogo. Niveau shopping, n'hésitez pas à passer par exemple au plus grand magasin Disney du monde 🛒 : le World of Disney. Vous aurez également la possibilité de faire vos emplettes chez M'M's World, Lego Store ou Coca Cola Store mais aussi chez les classique Levis, Zara, etc. Niveau resto, que vous soyez quick service, snack ou table service, vous pourrez consommer de la cuisine américaine 🍔, de la cuisine du monde 🍣ou des snacks 🥯Disney au Candy Cauldron . C'est également ici que se produit le cirque du soleil 🏟🏟. Disney Springs est gratuit et vous permet de faire une pause animée en dehors des parcs.”
“The Tune-In Lounge is a great spot to stop in for beer, wine, or a well-made cocktail. It is adjacent to the Prime Time Cafe and shares the same theming. The bartenders are friendly and attentive. There are no seats at the bar, but you can stand at the bar if there is room. Most people take their drinks to go, but others may sit in the retro living room area while they enjoy their beverage of choice. Be sure to check out the details in the decor while you are there.”
“Newer renovated space in the Boardwalk. Replaced the gift and sundries shop. I do miss the branded items they used to stock. Long-time user of the Bell Vue lounge, which has been updated to a 30's era vibe. Just wish the coffee was still here. Meet many friendly people over coffee in the Bell Vue. The new Carosel area doesn't seem to have caught on yet. It is a bit over bright and antiseptic for morning coffee. I'm grateful they are still offering the service, but it's more Hamton Inn then premier hotel. #coffee #lounge #morning #Boardwalk #disney”

“My first character dinner was here today. Food was okay, but I especially liked the beef stew. The characters came around to my table at least twice each. The most interactive one today was Pluto. Mickey and Minnie being the most popular took a little longer to visit. It wasn’t till the end that a cast member offered to take my picture with my son for a character. That’s my only negative. So I only have a picture with goofy, my son and myself. The rest were single shots taken by myself or my son. The experience was worth it just to see my sons face lit up like a jack o lantern the whole time!”
“Yes it is pricey but worth the splurge. I took 4 high school graduates and watched them turn into kids again! Food was absolutely amazing , visually and full of flavor. Would definitely recommend.”
“I don't normally review restaurants inside theme park hotels. However, this place is not your typical theme park restaurant. Located in side the Caribbean beach resorts. It's quite frankly one of the best all you can eat buffet in all of Disney World. I could not stop myself from eating the Cilantro Lime rice. The staff is so attentive that they will make you blush. When you visit this place, you will agree It's money well spent.”
