Tapas Restaurants near Lake Buena Vista, FL

“Great food and great service“

“We stopped by the Baseline Tap House for an afternoon snack. Ordering was quick and easy, and there were plenty of available tables. Shared a cheese platter and pretzel with mustard. The cheese platter was inexpensive and better than expected. Great option at Hollywood Studios if you do not want a meal.“

“Jeremy and Ricky were excellent behind the bar. I would highly recommend sitting at the bar. The staffs knowledge of cocktails and pairings was top notch. Jeremy’s off menu Christmas old fashioned and Ricky’s carajillo old fashioned, were some of the best drinks I’ve ever had!“

“We arrived just after closing time, soaking wet from walking in the rain from another hotel, and were so disappointed to find the restaurant had closed even though it said online they were open until midnight. Thankfully, we were greeted by the most incredible bartender, Steven, who went out of his way to speak with the kitchen—and they graciously accommodated us. He completely turned our night around, and the experience was so amazing that we came back again the next night.

The calamari was unbelievably tender—easily one of the best we’ve ever had. The desserts were on a whole other level, with unique flavors and textures you rarely find anywhere else. We travel often and eat out a lot, and this was truly something special. The hummus was delicious, and the warm pita bread was clearly fresh and far from your typical store-bought version.

Steven’s kindness and hospitality truly made our entire experience unforgettable.“

“This will be one of our go to restaurants to visit when we vacation in Orlando! My 11 year old daughter loved the art and the whole vibe she said it gave her some inspiration in her art and coloring when we left. Not to mention the food was excellent! Great atmosphere and food!“

“We had a great experience here. The food was excellent and everything we ordered was fresh and well prepared. The drinks were just as impressive, perfectly made and really enjoyable. The atmosphere made it a great place to relax, eat well, and have a few good cocktails. We'll definitely be coming back.“

“Dominic- we love you! First time here and he was so accommodating and explained the whole menu to us. was so friendly. We mentioned my sister’s birthday and he brought a dessert .I never know what to order but he gave the best recommendations. And added to our experience . We will be back. ♥️“

“We dined at Jaleo last night to watch the “Dreams that soar” drone show at Disney springs. We were blown away with our experience, everything about it was 5 star! We were seated in the patio directly in front of the lake where the drone show takes place. Our server was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and he was very knowledgeable and able to make recommendations in the menu. For the show, you can choose either the chefs tasting menu, or the A La Carte menu. We chose few dishes each off the menu, and everything was delicious! My kids had the grilled cheese sandwich and my son said that it was the best he’d ever tasted. Overall a magical experience and a great way to end our holiday!“

“I had such a great time tonight at Lizzy’s LIVE! The atmosphere was fun, upbeat, and full of energy from the moment we walked in. The band, Beauty & The Beats, was fantastic. they played so many great songs. If you love 80s music and enjoy singing along, you would love this place too!“

“This was touted as one of the better restaurants at the park and I enjoyed the experience. To start the drinks... Had the Pilar Noir and Old Fashioned. The Pilar Noir was decent, it was like a muted espresso martini... AKA smooth instead of a touch bitter like normal. The Old Fashioned was decent too, it's sweetened by a fireball (cinnamon) syrup or liqueur. I thought this was a bit overpowering and took away from the rum base.

The food, I tried Ropa Vieja and Loma Saltado. The Ropa was a little bland for me, needed a big of some mild heat or an extra layer that was missing, but overall still not bad. The Loma Saltado was so good. Great flavor, great spices. The server was also really good too. Forgot the name but started with an I and a shorter name. Anyways, she was fun and very helpful with suggestions, took her time. It was refreshing to see that kind of service, which seems rarer to see these days.

Overall, I'd suggest trying this place out if you're looking to eat on site.“

“Great food, awesome service and atmosphere. Enjoyed the live music as well😊“

“CB Bistro is the best place in central Florida for live music and the food is absolutely amazing. The staff is very professional and attentive. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great time“

“For a hotel bar, it was top notch. They had food and drink with options for all types of eaters including vegan fare. The food was tasty and I would highly recommend.Nick our server was very enthusiastic and had good suggestions for food and drink.“

“Had this joint recommended by a local friend who said it would be my jam and he was right! Outstanding food, great punk rock kaiju-theme atmosphere. Best bites were the Shiso-butter onigiri and the chicken-oyster yakitori skewer; the okonomiyaki was a dream. Everything was super flavorful, memorable, and Dennis was great and attentive on a busy night. Tasty cocktails as well. Brilliant evening.“

“What to get: lamb chops, scallops, beef short ribs. What to avoid: octopus (overdone/dry), calamari (generic/poor tasting batter), farmer cheese board (tastes like whipped Greek yogurt). The reason I rated it 5 stars is for the light show and wait staff are nice. Make a reservation for 8:15, no matter where you sit, by 9 everyone goes out to watch the light show on the balcony.“

“Got rained in the other weekend and stopped here for some cover, JT came out and made sure we were all good. He was very professional and Kind, even offered us towels to dry up and even a water bowl for my friends dog. If you can choose a server I’d say go with JT!“

“Just had lunch… food, atmosphere and service was amazing. We will definitely eat here again.“
