Tapas Restaurants near Lake Buena Vista, FL

“Love this place, we’ve been enjoying it for years. Amazing staff including Mike, Megan, and Gordo. Lovely atmosphere inside and delightful outside. I recommend the “Scrimmy” and the charcuterie platter. You can’t go wrong here, highly recommended for great service, food and beer, and ambiance.“

“Eight people joining for a birthday celebration and some great social time over a relaxing meal. Toledo hit every one of those desired and then exceeded expectations with its wonderful/attentive service (tonight by Mustapha). The meals were plated attractively and tasted delicious. The adult beverages were a perfect pairing.
I had the filet and it was also perfection (with some brussels sprouts that I wish I could make myself at home). This restaurant was organized in all the right ways, and we all were made to feel welcome. VERY easy to recommend to others. Go! Enjoy!! Thanks Toledo, and again to Mustapha, for a great night of dining.“

“We were lucky enough to get in and we were blown away. Not only was the atmosphere beautiful and futuristic, but the drinks and service was out of this world. Ricky was our bartender and he went above and beyond. Not only was he fun to talk to, but he provided us with creativity, education on Disney and cocktails, and amazing service. He even created us a unique cocktail based off of our liquor interests. If this was a bar within our town we would make it our local spot to go to just for his amazing service and creative cocktails.“

“I didn’t order food but it all looked good for the others who did (hence the 4*s). However, I stayed at the swan reserve for a week and Jake, Jonathan, and Ally were the bar tenders all week at Stir. I like a drink or two at the end the day and over the course of the week, I can say I wish they were back in Dallas at my frequent spot! Very welcoming, easy to talk to, and willing to make drinks to your personal preference! My sister is very particular for her lemon drops and they nailed it after describing her ideal tasty. I’ll most likely be back in a couple years again for another sibling vaca and truly hope they’re here!! Thanks for making the evenings a joy after walking 7+ miles each day at the parks by adding to the atmosphere and enjoyment of the hotel stay! Wishing y’all the best as y’all deserve it!“

“Excelente experiencia gastronomica!!!“

“My GOD! This is my favorite restaurant in Orlando EVER! If I could (and my wallet allowed me), I would be eating here every day, especially the Susuru Chashu Gohan, and the Godzilla Cocktail. Jenn has served me already in two of my visits and she is an amazing soul that has the patience of a saint for explaining all the random questions my mom would make, and helping through the cocktail and suggestions. Thank you so much and will be back!!!!!“

“The food was fabulous. Thank you Peter and Akman for an amazing meal!!!“

“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!“

“This was by far my best dining experience as a vegan at a non vegan restaurant. Strong Water Tavern has a regular menu and a vegan menu, however, I did not see anything on the vegan menu that I like and the options I liked from the regular menu had chicken stock in them. Elizabeth (the waitress) went back and forth from me to the kitchen, trying to work something out.

Eric (the manager) came out, apologized, and asked how he could accommodate me. We came up with a solution, which I thought would be from their kitchen, but I found out that he went to another restaurant in the resort to put together something for me. This was so heartwarming and showed excellent customer service.

I would like to say thank you again to Eric and Elizabeth for their attention to detail and ability to pivot to make sure that their customer was satisfied. 20/10 experience!“

“Our server, Elsie, was very professional, polite, courteous, and friendly. She made sure all our needs were met.

Our bartender, Lexi, was very professional. She personally came to our table to make sure my special request cocktail was to my likely in which it was a perfect 10.

Great job ladies!

Top notch restaurant!“

“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. ♥️“

“Exelente ambiente familiar y excelente rumba“

“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“

“Visited The Whiskey last Saturday afternoon. The burger was great. I just wish they would get rid of the awful bar smell that hits you in the face when you walk in the front door. It's the one that comes from nasty old beer and whatever that collects on the floor underneath stuff behind the bar. Just hideous.“

“I wish I could give a 10 star rating for the atmosphere and vibe. The Blue Moon band was SO great! We had a group of almost 50 people there and we had a total blast. If you are bringing a party there that large, you must make reservations, and know that they secure the tables with a ten-dollar deposit per person (so plan ahead!)“

“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.“

“This was our first time here even though we visit Celebration often. They have wines from the US and international. We sat at the counter and the first two bottles of wine we wanted to order they were out of. Our server was very nice and let us sample other wines until we got the flavors we were looking for for. We ordered the charcuterie and it was the best we have had in the area and very reasonably priced!! It is enough for 3 or 4 people to share. Loved the creamy Brie and the cranberry nut bread was very good. I think it could be better if they replaced the honey with fig jam and seasoned olives as the olives were very bland. The live music was a nice bonus! We will definitely return!“

“The atmosphere & view from here are what we look forward to at night each time we stay here. Benjamin was our server & he was amazing! Be sure to make a reservation & after dark is the best for a spectacular view. Love the upbeat music too.“

“Excellent food and great atmosphere! Juan was fantastic and made it an awesome experience!“
