    The food was good at Paddlefish. The Service was subpar for the price you pay, and even though this is a Disney sit down restaurant, the price/value is not great. The night we went was not busy, but we barely saw the server, and when we did, many things were forgotten. Would not go back.

    Food was good but service was terrible! Waiting twenty minutes before we could even get water at the table. My husband and I ordered wedge salads and mine was a 1/4 of the size of his. When I asked the waitress why, she said it depends on who makes it. Fries were cold, and “Blistered beans” were raw. There are too many great restaurants around the area which have exceptional service. This one did not.

    The fish tacos were Ah-mazing! The staff was friendly and I appreciated that they were kind to our 1 year old. The ambience was comfortable. I will definitely return! Thank you.

    The atmosphere and the food were both fantastic, and the service was *top notch*! I proposed to my girlfriend at the end of the meal, and the staff provided complementary dessert and champagne, and videoed the proposal - all without me even asking. We will definitely be back next time we visit Disney World.

    Best dinner of our whole week. Not that we come this way often but this is definitely on our list every time we come from now on, we went to the boathouse and it wasn’t as good.

    Came here for a bday dinner for my partner. Multiple staff members kindly wished them a happy birthday and told them to save room for a free special birthday dessert. At the end of our meal, we decided to order dessert because we had been told to do so for their birthday, on the house. However, when the bill came at the end of the meal, we were still charged and had to pay for their dessert despite the previous comments, my partner having a bday pin on, and the restaurant knowing it was their bday per our reservation. The food and drinks were fantastic, but the service and dishonesty with providing a free birthday dessert ruined the end of our experience, bringing it down to 4 stars overall. Great place to go for a dinner, but not a celebration.
