“Very very good food“

“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!!!!!“

“For our first time in this restaurant, everything was great!! The food, the service and the experience was fantastic!
Shoutout to Jose and Railey, both were amazing and took great care of us ☺ please keep it up and continue with the great work. For sure we will be back. All the food and drinks 10/10 👌🏼“

“Have you ever been to a restaurant where there’s a cohesive staff where there’s four team members that go above and beyond that actually take care of you and make sure that your food is good and that service is good? Let me tell you this restaurant there are four staff members back behind the bar who went above and beyond made sure we were taken care of made sure that our food was good. Made sure our drink stayed full and all around. They were actually great to be around. Dairis, Joe, Kaiya, Loraine were the four staff members were behind the bar and I would specifically come back for each and every single one of them. They were that good!!! So do yourself a favor go in just to see any of those four or all four together to see how well they work together because honestly again I would just go back for them alone. And yes, my tomahawk steak was good along with the asparagus and the potatoes. And the four of them made sure of that!!!“

“Love this place, the ambiance is great, great jazz music and the beignets were delicious!“

“My wife and I were in Orlando for a family vacation. We had childcare and decided to go out for a date night. Capa was perfect! Location was excellent. Sitting a top of the Four Seasons with an excellent overview with Epcot in sight. Food elwas delicous. Mushroom pallela was so flavorful and memorable. Andre served us and showed us a great time. Everything you expect from a Michelin sxperience. Excellent food and ambience with top tier hospitality.“

“First time this week while on vacation which turned into a second time yesterday. Food is top shelf and service is great. Highly recommend and I know we will be back when in Orlando in the future“

“Lugar sensacional 🚀, recomendo !!“

“Very friendly staff and our server was exceptional. She was kind, knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. The place was clean and the table was equipped with plenty of utensils and napkins. The food was fresh, delicious, and large portions good for sharing. The menu offers a little bit of everything except seafood. I am a seafood lover and it was a little disappointing that shrimps was the only option on the menu. The pork orderd was great, soft and full of flavor. I have to mention that the dessert menu is very small (2 items) but good. It is interesting how the tables are equipped with needed items to cook yourself options. Heads up no knives provided. They have karaoke on weekends, it was nice. There is plenty of parking and with good lighting if visiting at night time. I will come back and will recommend it to family and friends.“

“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.“

“We had a great time at Villatel. We stayed with two other families to help with the cost and the place was big enough. no one was stepping over another. Having your own private pool was a game changer and that in itself is a huge reason to stay. The kids loved the game room, but the sleeping arrangement in that room made the big difference because they all had their own little space. The kitchen was appointed perfectly, just bring your own groceries and instead of eating out, we cooked almost every night. Having a washer and dryer was awesome as we had fresh clothes and towels every day. We didn't rely on housekeeping for anything because everything we needed was already there. Don't pack the kitchen sink when heading here, they already have one.“

“Eat there Thursday night, and it was phenomenal. Lyod was our waiter, and suggested the chargrilled steak and the potato encrusted snapper. Also ordered the lobster bisque. Everything was phenomenal. It had been about five years since we last went, and surpassed our expectations. The most consistent restaurant in out out the parks imo.“

“Was very impressed. My date and I had the cornbread , oyster rockefeller and the truffle deviled eggs, impressive intricate cajun menu“

“This was a very beautiful experience for my mother‘s 86th birthday. The atmosphere is sophisticated and professional. The staff was accommodating and attentive. The food is seasoned to perfect perfection and the salad bar is extensive. The bartender pours a great drink and management was on the floor and also gracious in tending to the tables. But once again, the food was good and tasteful.“

“Awesome!! This is always a “go to” spot for us. Bob is the best!“

“Probably my favorite bar on disney property. I am obsessed with their pb&j cocktail. I have always wanted to try their long island iced tea, but I always just end up getting the pb&j. It’s delicious and strong, and strong drinks are hard for me to personally find at the Disney parks. I love this bar, the CMs, and there’s always nice guests in here too willing to chat.“

“I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place to stay before flying out. I stay at this hotel every time I go down to Orlando and it is very convenient to book for your next day flight. The restaurants are great. The staff is amazing. The balcony view is unmatched. It is a little more expensive to stay here compared to your average hotel, but you won’t regret picking this Hotel over every other one out there. Spend the cash and stay here. It’s worth it.“

“Was really good the snow crab,shrimp, muscles, and craw dads with the corn sausage and potatoes. Yum“

“As a vendor who brought an event rental, highly recommend this venue.“

“Awesome food and menu and experience. They deserve many more to be here very night!“

“Beef on weck was great. Loved the atmosphere. I recommend especially if you are from western NY the hidden treasures through out the bar will entertain you Thanks for the great meal and will see u next time we are through there“

“Recently returned from a 5 night stay and it was great. We stayed in Ranchos and had an adjoining room with another family that we were traveling with. Yes, the grounds are huge and we did get a little confused finding our room in the dark that first night, but once we found it, we had no complaints. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms had a ton of storage space. I appreciated all the outlets in the room as well. There are 4 (I think) bus stops around the property and we were very close to one of them. The transportation to the parks could not have been any easier! We ate at El Mercado several times and at Rix once and thought the food was pretty good. The Dig Site pool was awesome and we also enjoyed the Ranchos pool right across from our building. All of the grounds were beautiful, I only wish we'd gotten the chance to explore and enjoy them a bit more!“

“Food was good and nice atmosphere. Quick service , nice happy hour.“

“Great food and drinks.“

“Cove Bar is poolside at Bay Lake Tower. This is a great little pool bar with good service, good drinks, good snacks and pretty much everything that you would want in a pool bar. Definitely worth ordering from here if you're poolside at BLT.“

“I spoke with the manager Ozan regarding a birthday celebration I wanted to have for my husband. He was very helpful in answering all questions and making sure the set up for our party of 25 was beautiful. Him and the staff relocated the tables under the pavilion when realizing the weather conditions right before the start of the dinner. He ensured our party was taken care of from start to finish. The lamb and the appetizers were amazing! Beautiful place to enjoy family and friends and take pictures.“

“Plancha continues to be one of our most memorable dining experiences, which is exactly why we chose it to celebrate our eight-year anniversary. Their bottomless brunch is outstanding - a perfect balance of savory and sweet that feels thoughtfully curated rather than just indulgent. The chilaquiles were packed with flavor and had just the right amount of heat, while the French toast was soft, rich, and beautifully prepared. Together, they made the ideal pairing for a special occasion. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere has that relaxed-luxury feel that makes every visit feel like a getaway. Plancha remains one of our favorite places to celebrate life's milestones. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a brunch that delivers both quality and experience.“

“It is nice to have a restaurant that’s a little bit closer to us than having to drive all the way to Orlando location. It’s also nice to get that part of the app so every time you eat there you have a car seat. You do rec points on our last trip we save seven dollars and our cost of my hot chocolate. We didn’t notice that maybe they changed the recipe or a new chef but the chicken was cooked a little different and then be sweaty chicken sandwich. Taste different. They did charge me a dollar for asking for a little bit more sauce.“

“Great atmosphere, food and drink.“

“Bartenders were fantastic...fun joint!“

“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!)“

“Always amazing! Great for any occasion...staff is responsive and food is fantastic!“

“Outstanding food ! Highly recommend“

“The hotel itself is ok, the rooms are your standard hotel rooms, nothing fancy, cozy beds. Some visitors might say that things are overpriced, however, it’s 2026, life itself is more expensive. I would forewarn everyone staying to diligently check your hotel bill. Both my wife and I were charged separately for the 4 day/5night stay. Hoping to get that resolved, will update when that happens. Overall the staff is wonderful and friendly, the bartenders are excellent! The communication from the staff is great as well, they text and check in constantly making sure everything is going well.They accommodate for everything. The food is ok, nothing over the top, standard decent food. The grounds are nice, it is a little hidden but that’s also the nice part as well. I would recommend staying here, just pay attention to your final bill.“

“Aquí te sirven como reina desde el plato hasta la atención. Y como tú lo quieras. El mojito sin azucar(soy diabética) como usted lo ordene mi majestad! Aquí los precios no suben y la calidad de la comida excelente“

“Here is my take on the place. If you like tequila and shots this place can be very good. However I think it’s a big overpriced and the margaritas are a bit weak for the price. I do want to comment they have a huge selection of different types of tequila which makes this place very unique.“
