    Padelfish an exceptional location and attractive ambiance, but unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The food is extremely average—uninspired and lacking any memorable flavor. It’s disappointing to see such a privileged, scenic spot being misused with poor service and such a mediocre culinary offering. A missed opportunity, to say the least.

    We had a great time and felicity was fabulous. She really considered my food allergy. She was very attentive and the food was great. We sat upstairs which was nice and bright with nice space.

    We had the sweetest server, the food was delicious, it was a beautiful setting, and it was very kid-friendly. Definitely the best restaurant we’ve dined at in Disney Springs!

    Food was very good. They were super busy so service was a bit slow but they offered a discount for the wait. We will be back as the food was good and the overall experience was good. We had the shrimp pasta and the Littleneck clam seafood boil.
