“One of our favorites when we visit and one of the few places the kids ask to go to. Don’t sleep on this restaurant.”
“We had an 8:15 reservation and arrived 10 minutes late (having called ahead to let them know), only to discover that our table was still not ready. We were eventually seated about 20 minutes after our reservation time, so a slight hiccup at the start.
Thankfully, things improved considerably from there. Our server was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and clearly knew the menu inside out. He recommended excellent wine choices and made a rather fabulous Aperol spritz.
Every dish was somehow better than the last, and I would happily recommend everything on the menu. We were a family of five and ordered seven starters to share tapas-style, which proved to be more than enough food (and an excellent life choice).
Even the water was memorable. Never thought I’d see the day I’d leave a restaurant with opinions about its H₂O, but here we are.
A slightly rocky start, but a genuinely wonderful meal. Highly recommend!”
“Over 200 selections of tequila. We had a great experience. Chips & queso, avocado marg, corn old fashioned and the cucumber to-go because it’s insanely good & also a snack for the next line.”
“My wife and I were in Orlando for a family vacation. We had childcare and decided to go out for a date night. Capa was perfect! Location was excellent. Sitting a top of the Four Seasons with an excellent overview with Epcot in sight. Food elwas delicous. Mushroom pallela was so flavorful and memorable. Andre served us and showed us a great time. Everything you expect from a Michelin sxperience. Excellent food and ambience with top tier hospitality.”

“Dustin was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. Very fast service. Very friendly. He didn’t even let my cup get empty. He was on point. I’m coming back just because of him.”

“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!!!”
“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.”
“Alyssa P was our waitress tonight. She went above and beyond to make sure our dinner for the first night of our honeymoon was perfect. Not only was our meal absolutely fantastic but she was also the sweetest. Highly highly recommend the chicken biscuits and the hummingbird cake. This is always a must stop when we visit Disney.”
“Customer service is amazing! We had late reservations and the kids were hungry. They let us check in and took us back as soon as they could. Food is delicious. We would eat here again! Best place yet out of all of the parks. We highly recommend!”

“This fry flight is great for the price. You can also use a snack credit from the dining plan. I especially like the truffle-parmesean fries. Sea Salt-Malt Vingar fries are not too overwhelming however you know it's malt vinegar. The sweet potato fries pair perfectly with the marshmallow cream.
Would order again.”
“Love this place, we’ve been enjoying it for years. Amazing staff including Mike, Megan, and Gordo. Lovely atmosphere inside and delightful outside. I recommend the “Scrimmy” and the charcuterie platter. You can’t go wrong here, highly recommended for great service, food and beer, and ambiance.”
“Sleepy Hollow is a quick service restaurant that sits within eyesight of Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle. This is a great place for desserts and meals/snacks of a certain variety. No burgers and fries to be found here. Tips. You can mobile order at this location and probably should. It can definitely speed things up from standing in line to order. Seating is limited, so be on the lookout for a table. Chances are, you’ll have to clean the table yourself. The turnover here is fast. Water applied to a napkin works ok to clean off a sticky table. Hand sanitizer may work even better. Sweet: Order waffles or funnel cakes topped with powdered sugar, whipped cream, chocolate-hazelnut spread, strawberries, bananas, and blueberries. Savory: Order the Sweet-and-Spicy Maple Chicken Waffle Sandwich or a - get this- corn dog with house made chips! The aforementioned waffle with Nutella and fruit? Man oh man, it’s as good as the reviews say it is. Enjoy!”
“If you are looking for a reliable quick-service spot in Magic Kingdom that offers a welcome escape from standard theme park burgers and nuggets, Columbia Harbour House in Liberty Square remains a top-tier recommendation.
One of the best features of this restaurant is the large seating area on the second floor. It provides a quiet, spacious, and air-conditioned refuge away from the bustling crowds downstairs, complete with charming nautical decor and prime views looking down over Liberty Square and Fantasyland.
Beyond the cozy atmosphere, the real highlight is the impressive quality of the seafood offerings:
* Lobster Roll: Loaded into a toasted, New England-style roll, the chilled lobster meat was fresh, tender, and light rather than weighed down with heavy dressing. Paired with seasoned fries, it delivered a flavor profile that felt elevated for a fast-casual park setting.
* Salmon Bowl: The glazed salmon was equally impressive—flaky, juicy, and well-seasoned with a rich flavor that balanced sweet and savory notes. Served over a generous bed of fresh green beans, it offered a wholesome and satisfying alternative to standard park fare.
* S'mores Dessert: To top off the meal, the s'more dessert special was a fantastic sweet treat. Layered with rich chocolate, graham crumbs, and cream, it was topped with cute ghost-shaped meringue toppers that made it as fun as it was delicious.
With its expansive upstairs seating, generous portions, and food that consistently exceeds quick-service expectations, Columbia Harbour House is an absolute must-visit dining stop at Magic Kingdom.
It would help it the pickup window had a marked enter and exit signs, because people were coming in both.”
“I was going to give 4 stars for atmosphere but changed my mind as this restaurant reflects the jungle, so its not going to be bright and warm...for the theme; it was perfect. The cast members stayed in character and to the jungle vibe as much as possible which we loved.
Our server was Cameron who was quite attentitive and listened with interest when we shared about our skills in the culinary field, we engaged quite a few cast members here at this establishment and were pleased with such open and earnest interaction.
We were in a back room where there was a large family dining, the noise level was a bit elevated because of the children, who hooted, giggled and screamed from time to time. What is family dining all about? Family, including those littles we find so delightful.
The food was delicious! We had the Seasonal Soup which we found to be a bit nippy with the chili like peppers and hazardous with the toasted corn pepper chips? present, navigating around the peppers and corn we found the soup to be quite tasty. For our main dishes we had Char Siu Pork and Chicken Entree; both were prepared, cooked and plated in the most lovely manner.
In closing, I want to thank Cameron and all the lovely servers we met at this Disney establishment. You all provided us with an enchanting jungle excursion we will remember for a long time. Yes, we will be returning when we visit Disney's Magic Kingdom again. Until then, keep your eyes peeled for piranha and watch out for those whirlpools in the waters. Cheeri O!!! Adventurers!”

“This is a must! Not sure why our event was held in the Toledo Restaurant instead of Three Bridges. Weather? Needed more tables? Either way, we had a great time.
We went up to the 16th floor and checked in. They have a specific table for you which is already decked out with your glasses of sangria and chips with salsa and guacamole. When ready, your hosts (Robert and Ashley were awesome) will begin with some facts and go into the history of sangria. And it wasn't boring.
Oh, and you get a great view of the Disney property from the bathrooms. Lol.”
“The Grand Floridian Tea Experience at the Garden View Lounge is truly a magical Disney experience! From the elegant setting and beautiful atmosphere to the delicious tea, sandwiches, and sweet treats, everything felt special and wonderfully refined.
The service was excellent, and the entire experience was relaxing, elegant, and full of those little details that make a visit to Disney so memorable. It’s the perfect way to slow down and enjoy a touch of luxury while surrounded by the beautiful Victorian charm of the Grand Floridian.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a unique and memorable experience, I highly recommend the Grand Floridian Tea Experience. Five stars all the way!”
“This is a must do when visiting Disney! The food was fresh, delish and a lot of variety. The characters we met were Princesses Tiana, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Cinderella. It was a magical night topped by five star service.
Cost for three adults and three children including tax & tip was around $500 (no alcohol)”
“First time here and it lived up to the hype. The burger was AMAZING and the view was perfect. We had Mark for our waiter and he was a pro. Great service all the way around. Will go back on every trip in the future.”
“Loved everything about this experience! Amazing atmosphere - this was the best way to end a park day. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have more variety in the videos playing on the screen, as they seemed to repeat quite frequently. It would be nice to have enough different content to last throughout the meal.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars, A Tropical Treat at Magic Kingdom!
Aloha Isle is one of those must-stop locations when visiting Magic Kingdom! Famous for its delicious DOLE Whip treats, this little stand delivers some of the best refreshing desserts in the park. The Tropical Serenade drink is absolutely fantastic! It's the perfect combination of tropical flavors, creamy sweetness, and refreshing goodness, especially on a hot Florida afternoon. Every sip feels like a little taste of paradise!
The cake pop was another delicious surprise! Sweet, flavorful, and a wonderful treat to enjoy alongside the DOLE Whip. It's a great option when you're craving something a little different.
While Disney treats aren't always inexpensive, Aloha Isle is definitely worth a visit. The tropical flavors, fun atmosphere, and refreshing selections make it a fantastic stop for kids and adults alike. Highly recommend the Tropical Serenade, and don't forget to grab a cake pop!”
“My husband and I went on our anniversary last month and it was great. There was a lot of people and the line went out the door mostly because it was on a Saturday but it went pretty smoothly. The only negative thing I can say was the employee that was boxing up my 2-go order got my order wrong and I didn't notice till I got home. I was very upset because that messed up the 1st time experience going there. I emailed customer service that same day with a photo of what was given to me and a copy of my receipt as proof. It took about over a week for a response back but fortunately was able to receive a refund on one of the items. My advice... please check your 2-go order before you leave. Besides that, I would recommend Amorettes and looking forward to the cake decorating class for my birthday 🎂”
“Once again I'm impressed with this Four Seasons property. Every restaurant and experience has been exceptional. The lunch at PB&G was exceptional. We had exemplary service in a beautiful outdoor setting! The food was delicious and libations creative. This property continues to impress me.”
“The Refreshment Outpost was such a fun stop during EPCOT’s Drink Around the World challenge! I ordered the Outpost Lemonade, and the frozen lemonade with Absolut Vodka was refreshing and perfect for the Florida heat. What really made this stop stand out was the atmosphere. I loved the interactive musical instruments, especially the drums, which let guests join in and create a lively, energetic experience. It was a fun place to relax, enjoy a drink, and soak up the atmosphere before heading to the next country.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Cast Member Experience
The Hall of Presidents:
I want to give Michael his well deserved flowers. He clearly understood the assignment and executed at a high level showing up with nothing but knowledge, accuracy, and engaging historical insight.
His professionalism, confidence, and command of information elevated the entire experience at the Hall of Presidents. This is what operational excellence and guest engagement are supposed to look like.
Major appreciation to Michael and the Magic Kingdom team for the hard work and dedication. If Disney leadership is paying attention, this is the kind of performance that deserves recognition and reward. Well done.”
“Fantastic food, even the children’s meals were extremely tasty! The only quick service place in Disney I’ve come across where fries do not come included with the meal (except kids meals) and the fries are not standard Disney fries, so be prepared for that, my daughter did not like that change. It took a long time for the food to be ready and the place was very loud, but the food was still great!”
“This is always a must for us when on property. We often stay at Wilderness Lodge and eat here at least twice each time. Never had a bad experience here. The food is always amazing. The service is excellent 99% of the time and the atmosphere is very relaxing.”
“Apparently the only place to get freshly made Gluten-free Churros. We visited 2x and enjoyed each time with the apple butter dipping sauce and vanilla creme sauce. Delicious and Gluten-free”

“This was a nice and quiet lounge to hang out at. The staff members were awesome and the views are as well. The food was ok and the drinks were great. I liked that you have options to make your own old fashioned. Was also nice that you can see the fireworks from Epcot while being up there as well. Will definitely be back.”
“We had heard good things about this place, and how it is authentic Japanese sushi, and we have a sushi lover in the family so we decided to try it out. We got a 7pm reservation, so that when we were finished, we would just walk right outside and see luminous from the 2nd story deck right outside the restaurant. We ordered the Spicy Crunch Roll for an appetizer, which was fantastic and came out beautiful. It was our favorite thing that we ordered. We also ordered the Takoyaki, which was fried batter balls filled with pieces of octopus. It was kind of like an octopus hush puppy. It was unique and different. Then we ordered the Hashi Bridge. The presentation was gorgeous on this and there was a lot of things here. It was sashimi, and nigiri, and some simple rolls. This was a traditional way of presenting the sushi, with no sauce or filling, just the fish and rice and seaweed. As long as you are okay with the simple traditional presentation, then you will love the authenticity of this place, and one of our party members did. As someone who is more accustomed to cream cheese in their sushi rolls, I preferred the spicy crunch roll that we ordered for an appetizer as it had more ingredients/more flavors going on. Overall we enjoyed our time here for a nice splurge meal, but do not feel the need to return.”
“Genuinely the most unbelievable experience ive ever had in my entire 25 years of life. The food was unbelievably exceptional and the service was beyond friendly. 11/10 and I do not say that lightly my standards are beyond high. For disney world I am absolutely blown away. Next level 💯 sat at bar ordered steak medium well”
“Eight people joining for a birthday celebration and some great social time over a relaxing meal. Toledo hit every one of those desired and then exceeded expectations with its wonderful/attentive service (tonight by Mustapha). The meals were plated attractively and tasted delicious. The adult beverages were a perfect pairing.
I had the filet and it was also perfection (with some brussels sprouts that I wish I could make myself at home). This restaurant was organized in all the right ways, and we all were made to feel welcome. VERY easy to recommend to others. Go! Enjoy!! Thanks Toledo, and again to Mustapha, for a great night of dining.”
“If I could only pick one park to visit, this would be it. EPCOT is the BEST!”
“We are Tiki aficionados and have wanted to visit for a long time. It was worth the wait! Amazing Cocktails and food! Atmosphere is totally immersive. The bartenders and servers are fun and engaging ( IYKYK ;) )! Definitely will return!”

“Wonderful dinner after a busy park day. My sister and I shared several appetizers for our dinner and it was perfect. Way too much food too but now we have leftovers. We tried: -Potstickers -Teriyaki noodles -California roll -Sticky wings -Bread pudding All were amazing! My favorite was the wings!”
“Always busy, and hard to decide what you want and it can feel rushed, but everything in here is amazing! Personal recommendation- get the School Bread! I also recommend the Kristoff coffee and the cookie. All absolutely amazing! There’s a small area outside for seating and plenty of benches nearby. Don’t miss this one in the World Showcase.”
“Resort hopping and wanted to grab something to eat. Decided to stop in. I got the meatball sub with parmesan fries and wife got the Croque Monsieur. The sandwiches were larger than we expected and hope you like cheese, which we do. Standard quick service but pleasantly surprised and will go again.”
“Tiny little food / drink hut in the Pandora land in Animal Kingdom. I would have missed it all together if I wasn’t looking for something specific - don’t miss it, it’s got great offerings! The drinks are really cool (alcoholic and non alcoholic) and the snacks are lovely too. Queues can be a little long but worth it.”
“This lounge is always great! Such a nice place to take a break with free snacks and drinks! We attended our first Moonlight Magic this year and it was the best thing we’ve done so far!”
“The indoor seating area is small and the service area can be chaotic, but we’ve had great service and food here every time. There is plenty of seating outside with a great view. The meals a big enough to share for two people. This last trip we enjoyed the Tonga Toast. My husband and I shared it and there was plenty. It was fresh and full of flavor.”

“What an incredible dinner at Benihana Orlando (Hilton Hotel at Disney Springs)! The hibachi chicken and shrimp combo was amazing, and we loved swapping soup for double salads — fresh and flavorful! The chef’s show was full of personality and made the evening feel special. Perfect spot for couples, families, or anyone who wants a fun, interactive dining experience near Disney Springs”

“We were lucky enough to get in and we were blown away. Not only was the atmosphere beautiful and futuristic, but the drinks and service was out of this world. Ricky was our bartender and he went above and beyond. Not only was he fun to talk to, but he provided us with creativity, education on Disney and cocktails, and amazing service. He even created us a unique cocktail based off of our liquor interests. If this was a bar within our town we would make it our local spot to go to just for his amazing service and creative cocktails.”
“This is really more of a wine bar with some other drinks mixed in.
Great place to sit and relax while listening to the pianist.
Drink menu is mostly wine with one speciality drink called the Floridian.
They have another drink that has no alcohol that was very good.
Very friendly staff.”
“I've been to the rainforest Cafe when I was on my senior trip at the Georgia academy for the blind and I was there last summer and it is such an amazing place the food is top notch for service is top notch it's expensive but it's worth it”
