    Great dinner service. Had a reservation and they sat us right away. Server was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and quick. Food was great. Ambiance is beautiful but noisy (at least in the room we were in) but it was manageable. Would highly recommend a stop here!

    Reservation was for 7:15. Sat out back until after 8pm. Went to hostess 4 times. Nothing each time. Told them we are leaving. They acted confused each time I went up to them. We never dined although OpenTable thinks we did. Will never go back. Went to the Boathouse instead.

    Food fantastic! Our server Tony great! It is a little loud and hard to have a conversation if you’re inside other than that I’d definitely eat there again.

    It felt like we were eating overpriced mediocre food inside an amusement park.

    It was what you’d expect from a Disney restaurant but $9 for a single espresso is a bit over the top. We also had to order bottled water because the “filtered” tap water tasted like dish water. Our server was attentive.
