    Definitely better places to eat in Disney Springs. The theme is tired and the food was average. I believe they’re known for their drinks and I did not try any so I could have missed out in that department. The food I got for the price was definitely not worth it. The servers seem very sweet, however.

    Everything was superb. My only “complaint” was that I was told o had a water view table… true but it was literally in a walkway and felt awkward. Great food, great service!

    Although the music performers are very good, the noise level is incredibly loud; too loud for any conversation. The service was very good but the food was subpar: the Tomato soup was watery & bland with a glob of oil garnish floating on top while the accompanying grilled cheese was almost all bread even after paying extra money to add bacon (1 strip for $5) tomato & onion; partner's short rib was so salty, it was almost inedible. Avoid this place.

    Overpriced for food that was mediocre. The $25 burger was had lots of gristle. We ordered a virgin mojito and paid $12 for it! They didn’t even put any syrup in it! Our server was friendly but didn’t come to check on us after the food was dropped until we had almost finished. The entertainment was great and ambiance was so fun, but we won’t return to eat here, again.

    Regular Orlando visitors. Thought we would try something new. HORRIBLE!!! The food was cold and tasteless! EXPENSIVE! The service was almost laughable. Jay spent all of his time doing things (his words) “The Disney Way”. Ordered a bottle of wine which was served in milk glasses. Jay had to decant the wine and even asked if he should decant 1/2 the bottle??? Why?? While he is playing his Disney Way act to serve us wine our food was sitting in the kitchen getting cold. A server brought out our cold food while Jay was STILL one hand behind the back pouring our wine. He bowed at us for everything!!! Stop playing your Disney Way games and serve wine before food!! Good service isn’t spending all of your time trying to make a show which was NEVER goood nor appreciated. WE WILL NEVER RETURN!!

    The food is meh, it feels like a cafeteria quick style cafe vs a sit down restaurant. The service was minimal as they’re main focus is turning tables as quickly as possible. The “entertainment” is one step above an animatronic band show. The only good thing was they do have delicious cocktails but $34 for a “high roller” cocktail was not worth it.

    Beautiful atmosphere and ambience. My salad was not one I would try again. My husband loved his burger. I loved the vibe from the live performers and the wait staff around. I would recommend this restaurant, but also would say you are there for the atmosphere more than the food.

    I thought our server was amazing - and he deserves to be recognized - but the food was mediocre at BEST, my burger and my fries were both cold when they came out and it didn't really have any pop to it. I asked for warm fired onions to replace the cold ones on my burger - and he brought them to me but they were over fried- leading me to assume that they cook them off in batches and when I asked for warm ones they jsut refried ones that were already done. In addition all of our fries were COLD as if they had been sitting there for hours. The Server did go above and beyond to bring up hot ones - but it was less than ideal for a $30 Plate. Although the atmosphere is Cool and the details are incredible - it's not the food you expect from either Disney or the operating group that runs it. I don't think I will be sending many people there.

    My salmon and veggies were very well cooked and tasty. My husband had the grilled cheese and soup and it was good but the sandwich was just so-so and crazy enormous. The tables and chairs could be more comfortable. The live band (singer was Erin) was fabulous. We were close to the band so it was loud but I don’t think the rest of the restaurant was overly noisy.

    Horrible service. Server was extremely forgetful and messed up multiple tables’ orders and checks. Food was fine. After dining, we wished to leave as soon as possible, however it took near twenty minutes to get the correct check. Strongly do not recommend. Not at all what should be expected for Disney dining experience.

    We were a family of 9 so seated at a LARGE booth. This was the only thing that wasn’t good. When someone seated in the middle needed the restroom, half the table had to get up and move and with 5 kids it happened more than once. The service was very patient with us and the food delivery person rea,,y interacted with the kids very nicely. All of us really enjoyed our meals. The short rib was terrific. I will definitely go back and would recommend to any couple or group
