“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!!!“

“We went to Rocco’s for the first time yesterday and Charles did an amazing job at making it a great experience. He was knowledgeable on the menu and helped us pick out a delicious meal. The food and vibes were amazing as well! Will definitely be coming back for his service!“

“Came out here after a day at Universal and it was a great way to end the day. Everything was amazing! The apps and main dishes were so delicious and everything felt so fresh. The Japanese beers on tap were so good. The aesthetics and service were so great too. When I come back to Orlando, I will absolutely be looking to visit this place again. Thanks for a great experience.“

“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“

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

“I had such a spectacular, amazing, and special moment, and I’m so glad I chose this restaurant because it made the experience even more memorable for my partner and me!

From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. The valet took great care of us, the restaurant itself was absolutely beautiful, and everyone was incredibly kind and helpful. As soon as we entered, we were warmly greeted and seated immediately.

We had a lovely waiter who took the time to explain everything on the menu. Since this was our first time here, he also gave us some background on the restaurant, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The food was AMAZING! Honestly, it was some of the freshest and most delicious food I’ve ever had at a restaurant. For my appetizer, I had the octopus, and it was soft yet firm and absolutely delicious! Not long after our first order, we were served our next course, and oh my gosh! I had the lamb, and it was SO good! The raspberries and the sauce that came with it were incredible. My partner also had a New York strip, which he really enjoyed!

Between each course, the staff was extremely attentive. Within minutes of us finishing, they cleared everything from the table and replaced our plates and silverware for the next course. The service was truly exceptional.

Then came dessert, and that was when I received the biggest surprise of all! My partner, along with the staff, surprised me with beautiful desserts, and mine had the words “Will You Marry Me?” written on it. That truly put the cherry on top of an already perfect experience!

The staff seemed genuinely happy and excited for us, which made me feel so overjoyed. Everyone around us was incredibly sweet and congratulated us. It made such a special moment feel even more magical.

Afterward, we went out onto the balcony, took pictures, and watched the sunset. The view was absolutely breathtaking, especially with the sun setting around us. It was the perfect ending to such a beautiful moment.

This experience was completely worth it, and I would recommend this restaurant a thousand times if I could! Thank you so much to the entire staff for helping make such an important day so special for my partner and me, and for being a part of a moment we will remember forever.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Flying Fish is easily one of our favorite restaurants at Disney. We make it a point to eat here every trip. The reason for the deduction of a star is due to the children's menu. My daughter and I both got steak during our last trip. It was delicious and both came with green beans. During our meal, she asked why hers were different from mine. Mine were fresh and she got ones that looked like the ones that come from a can. It made me compare our steaks too and they were obviously different. I think they should consider just making the children's meal a smaller version of the adult but not alter the quality of the meal as they obviously did here. I ended up just sharing mine with her.“

“great food, very good and the sevice was excellent!“

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

“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!“

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

“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 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.“

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

“This was my second time at Hash House A Go Go, and they knocked it out of the park again! The food was delicious, the portions are absolutely massive, and everything came out fresh. It's one of those places that never disappoints. I'll definitely be back for a third visit!“
