Restaurants in Lake Buena Vista

“Thanks Emily A for the amazing service. We had a fantastic meal!”

“Sam (our server) and Angeline (our Sommelier), along with a very nice young man (been there about 8 months) who brought us in (sorry I didn’t catch his name) made sure we wanted for nothing. We asked for suggestions and they delivered all the way through dessert!! Professional, engaging, and genuinely nice people! Oh, and the food!!!!”

“Awesome place ! Gipsy was great too”

“I mean… name a time the Salt & Straw hasn’t slapped. It never misses. IDK when they change flavors, but if you’re there the next few days, highly recommend the strawberry coconut water sorbet and jasmine tea with almond stracciatella.”

“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.”

“As a disabled veterans my fiancé and I cant get enough of this place! Our date night last night was nothing short of incredible! The food was an amazing experience in itself. We got the house steak and it was the best Ive ever had. Dessert was also incredible! The cheesecake and churros were INSANE. The staff superb! We even got to watch the fireworks with dinner! As our visit came to a close, I struggled a bit with my panic disorder but the staff was extremely attenentive. My waitress Katie deserves the biggest compliment for helping me! She noticed I was struggling almost immediately and kept me cold, calm, and collected; fetched my fiance, leftovers and security. The remaining staff had vallet prepared and pull around our car! A wheelchair was prepared for me and we were escorted to our car! My fiancé and I are so grateful and cant wait to return for our next celebration! Thank you Katie and thank you Capa!”

“Absolutely awesome place. The interior is so incredible I can't fully describe it. Animatronic Dinosaurs, rain forest thunder storms. Kids will love it, adults too.”

“We had a wonderful experience at Wine Bar George. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal. We ordered the steak for two, mussels, and giant profiterole for dessert, and everything was excellent. The steak was perfectly cooked and flavorful, the mussels were fresh and delicious, and the profiterole was a fantastic way to end the meal. Each dish was well-prepared and really hit the mark and it was a great dining experience.”

“First time this week while on vacation which turned into a second time yesterday. Food is top shelf and service is great. Highly recommend and I know we will be back when in Orlando in the future”

“We visited on 9 Jan 2026…the service was slow, food mediocre. Going here is more for atmosphere, but not much else.”

“Amare is great! The food is unique and flavorful and fresh, and the staff are so attentive and kind. We had the ishkabubble bread (so good and so fun!!), seabass, fried chicken hummus and their signature orange-shaped chocolate mousse dessert - everything was tasty! Our server Luis was fantastic and the host team (especially Chiara) were top notch. I highly recommend Amare for a night out - and their signature orange-cello for a night cap :)”

“Fantastic! Loved the atmosphere, loved the service and the food was awesome. Recommend the deviled eggs for appetizer, the Smothered Chicken (they were huge) or Southern Pot Roast for main dish. Portions were very generous.”

“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.”

“Did good for our group of 10. A few of us have dairy allergies. They did great with all that but I do wish there was less cross contamination on the work stations because we would have ordered more toppings.”

“Good food, just expensive, but this is Disney.”

“Absolutely wonderful, fine dining Italian dinner at Epcot! It’s a gorgeous and classy dining room with incredibly kind and gracious hosts who checked us in and then led us to our table. Gian Marco was our very nice server who took great care of us. We started with good rolls dipped in olive oil, bread sticks, and the fried calimari appetizer. The squid rings were the most tender and tastiest we’ve ever had. For dinner, my wife had the Italian “surf and turf”, Mare e Monti, which was a delicious braised beef short rib and lobster ravioli. I had the Salmone, which was a nice piece of grilled salmon served atop mashed potatoes over diced tomatoes, capers, olives and anchovies. It was fantastic! We finished this gourmet meal with the tastiest Tiramisu and a Cannolo. The perfect end to a perfect meal. We spoke with Sarah, one of the managers, and she explained that much of the staff are actually from Italy and are working here and gaining experience at a resort style restaurant. They all work together to provide the hospitality and dining experience that must be savored and celebrated!”

“Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and extremely attentive staff. Amer was an awesome server. He did extra things to make our 3 year old feel special. The king crab and lobster bisque and the almond cheesecake were all spectacular. One of the best meals we’ve ever had.”

“Delicious and fun!! Our waitress was extremely friendly too!”

“100000% YES!! The main reason we went to Animal Kingdom was for Nomad Lounge! No joke we were on a mission! Looking for a quiet place to grab a drink, food & watch the characters float by then you are at the right place. You can’t go wrong with anything off the menu either. We wanted the churros & not just any churros, the gluten free churros with the strawberry-guava sauce & vanilla crème. Delicious!! You get 5 in an order & you can even get them to go so you know we took an order with us too. They get a 15/10 so next time you are in Animal Kingdom run & get them! You don’t have to have a gluten allergy to order & enjoy these either!!”

“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!”

“If I could only pick one park to visit, this would be it. EPCOT is the BEST!”

“Lightning speed for us when we placed our order. Less than 30 seconds from pushing the button “we’re here prepare our food” to “pick up ready”. Delicious! The cold cuties oranges are refreshing addition to your meal!”

“We had heard great things about the beer selection here so we went for an afternoon drink/snack. There was a small line but that was to be expected and we didn’t have to wait long. They have many different craft brews from California. We got the Mango Cart from golden road brewery and we got the superfruit hard cider from Coronado brewing. They also have a few wines. The beers were both delicious. We also got the giant pretzel which came with horseradish mustard and the beer cheese, and the beer cheese was great. We decided to try the pepperoni flatbread, which for $17 was a huge disappointment. It came with pepperoni, ricotta, and honey drizzle. It was fine but nothing spectacular at all. There is a small amount of indoor seating and more outdoor seating. Overall we are glad we came to this pit stop and if they rotate their selection maybe we will try a flight of beer next time.”

“If I could only pick one park to visit, this would be it. EPCOT is the BEST!”

“We have been 4 times to Plancha. I've never been dissapointed. It's simply a jewel. Food is great quality. Service? OUTSTANDING!!! Hats off to Chamei (Hope I wrote it correctly), Jacklyn and others who have served us. All of you have been excellent. We will keep returning.
Oh, do yourself a favor and order the Champagne Upgrade. It is worth it”

“最近愛上它😍酸甜酸甜的😋”

“Delicious food and amazing service !!”

“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!”

“One of Disneys best. A bit of a secret in Grand Floridian but love it”

“Awesome!! This is always a “go to” spot for us. Bob is the best!”

“Highly recommended! Excellent! This restaurant has been operating honestly at this address for almost 30 years, and is very popular with consumers for its high-quality food at reasonable prices. The food is very fresh, the prices are reasonable, and the food is served quickly. Each dish is specially cooked to order for each guest! Highly recommended.”

“Great sandwiches. Cuban and Italian for me”

“I made a reservation for 8 pm for 6 people. 4 of them showed up 30 minutes late. Despite the restaurant closing at 10, I never felt rushed. And despite the server knowing she was going to get an automatic tip for a party size, she gave excellent service. The food was great. Every dish. The crab nachos are always good. We got the chocolate dessert for the first time. It's to cool!!!! a giant dome of chocolate that melts. Really unique. I will definitely be back. Oh- I feel the prices are really good - especially for a Disney location.”

“We loved it! So did the little one! We would definitely go again! ✅”

“Overall it's a very nice experience. I think a few adjustments need to be made in order to make it excellent, in my opinion. The first is there should be a plain scone option. While I thought the scone was good, orange cranberry is a very specific flavor that's just not for everyone. I was also extremely surprised I could not get some raspberry jam instead of orange marmalade. Once again, orange marmalade is so niche and specific that's it's just odd not to have a more basic option. The cheese plate was excellent and the bread/crackers actually stole the show there along with the truffle cheese. The cucumber sandwich was pretty weak but the salmon and curry chicken salad tartlet were standouts. Although it is enough food to fill you up, would it really kill you guys to ask if you wanted a couple of more of your favorite items? For the price, it would have been a nice option to get a second chicken curry even though I was properly full. The sweets were OK but overall a more traditional selection of afternoon tea sweets would be nice. It would also be nice if you had some servers walking around with some sliced cake or other treats like they do at afternoon tea in England. Those little extras would have been going back as a local. But in it's current form, I would probably wait a year or 2 before returning as it just didn't do enough to make me want to run back.”

“Marcus and Karrin were exceptionally attentive to all needs and recommendations were on point. Karrin is a fabulous mixologist. Cocktails were on point. Go enjoy a meal here.”

“A lovely dining experience with great food, guest Princess appearances making this an extra special experience for my daughter to enjoy. Taking our photo with Cinderella immediately after completing my daughter’s boutique experience was remarkable. In addition, for my daughter to meet Jasmine, Aurora, and Ariel was also truly special. The food came in 3 courses and all options were delicious. What a remarkable experience, our family enjoyed it as we got to eat in the main Disney Castle at Cinderella’s Royal Table.”

“Javier was AMAZING. Best drinks, best service, amazing drinks, go see him at the bar!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Jaber and the rest of the staff were phenomenal. The family and I greatly appreciate the warmth and genuine hospitality. Great place to eat after a long day of events.”

“First time eating at Kimonos was last night coming into town from a long travel day. Fell in love with the yellowfin Torch! So I came back again tonight so I could have it one more time and I might even come back tomorrow. Service is excellent and the bartender is amazing.”

“Food and services was amazing”

“Great meal fast service nice place”

“Justin our waiter was amazing! He answered all our questions and was great to just talk with him… He is VERY knowledgeable and all around amazing waiter… He went above and beyond for us we will always request him…”

“Great experience at the Garden Grove restaurant this morning. Our server Karen was beyond friendly and caring. Although I did not specify that I had a gluten allergy, she was able to sense that by the way I ordered I either had a gluten sensitivity or an allergy and decided to take it upon herself to have my potatoes made without flour. Well, I did not ask for this the fact that she was able to sense that something was different about my order and to bring me out separate potatoes that would not made with gluten was amazing. This server was beyond friendly, caring, and dedicated quite frankly she was one of the nicest people we encountered during our stay at Disney hats off to Karen and the great food at the Garden Grove restaurant.”

“Lots of great BBQ, tasty sides, delicious desserts served family-style! Even my picky eaters loved it! Wear your stretchy pants for this one!”

“Aloha Isle is one of my favorite spots in Magic Kingdom! The Dole Whip is the absolute best pick me up during a busy day at Disney! It’s delicious, refreshing, and such an iconic treat to have while enjoying the magic of Disney. I highly recommend stopping by Aloha Isle while visiting Magic Kingdom. I can’t wait to visit again soon!”

“Unique Flavors. All homemade. Very delicious. Worth the short wait in line. Love the store look and decorations. You know if there is a line to get in a store it must be good. 😊”

“Wow, this hit the spot! It's hot, and I am tired from all of the walking, lol. So right in front of us is the Sunshine Tree Terrace. A quick stop 'n go type of place that offers soft-serve ice cream. Their special is this citrusy flavor called Orange Cream Float! The price was $5.29. It reminds me of the creamsicles from years ago. I'm happy again!”

“I got the chocolate peppermint cookie Sunday Loved it a little melted but delicious �. Cast member was very nice.”

“The fries here are so flavorful and yummy! I got them pretty quickly line wise and after i ordered i only had to wait about 3 minutes. They came out so hot i could barely hold the container. The sauce it came with wasnt for me but i believe its a spicy or siracha mayo and im not a mayo girl. But they have ketchup and thats exactly what my taste buds wanted. the line can get long and its on a main patch so you can feel in the way but its definitely worth a stop!”

“My favorite spot in Epcot to get a draft bud light. It’s a really good pour! The popcorn is usually one of the better spots in Epcot as well to fill up a bucket.”

“Delicious ice cream a must”

“If I could only pick one park to visit, this would be it. EPCOT is the BEST!”

“Nice little place to eat on animal kingdom”

“We love Geyser Point. Small menu but a great Bison Cheeseburger. They even have a gluten free bun for the burger and can remove the crispy onion straws from the burger to make it gluten free.

Boyfriend has tried the Turkey BLT Sandwich and liked it.

We tried the macaroni & “cheese” bites (plant based) before I had to go gluten free. No, we are not plant based. We just wanted to try them. They were very good.

Highly recommend going in the evening/night. Cute little outdoor restaurant and bar by Bay Lake. They play the music for Happily Ever After. You can see and hear the music for the electric parade on the water.”

“Good snack place to take a break.”

“Great food for a reasonable price❤️”

“The chef cooks a nice, large, and very flavorful turkey leg that can be served with a requested cup of water. It is large enough that it is recommended to share. I wish for more nice outdoor seating. 🦃 🪑 🇺🇸”

“We did a mobile order ahead of time and it was ready on time. sat down by the water and got to see the Kite Show while we ate. food was good and view and entertainment was great!”

“Amazing, great food, love the ambiance!”

“Wonderful seven course meal! Fine dining as an experience!”

“A massage for your palate! Wonderful for a celebration”

“Character dining and delicious food!”

“Haven’t been but excited to try for dinner in April. I’m nervous though, do we have to dress up bc we’ll be in the park all day and weren’t going to go back to the hotel to change first.”

“Delicious food and atmosphere. Relax place to take photos with characters”

“A unique and exciting eating experience.”

“Love the ketchup delivery!”

“Good food! Nice staff. Pizza and chicken parmigiana absolutely delicious”

“Delicious bubble waffles and crepes!”

“Great food and great service”

“Awesome restaurant Great vegan options.”

“Food so good I forgot to take a picture of it.

My dad and I both agreed the duck fried rice was absolutely stunning. The glaze on the duck leg is something very similar to a hoisin sauce, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. The rice itself was great, with these cucumbers that had a nice taste and crunch and some peppers for a great, surprising spicy note. My mother had the steak, and said it was wonderful. I had a small piece of it, and it was certainly a great taste. I'd recommend the duck over the steak though, there's many places in the resort for great steak!

Desserts were impeccable; the little cookie on the cream tasted like a burnt samoa and that's a flavor I never knew I needed! The drinks were also great. I had the non-alcoholic orange specialty, it tasted just like an orange dreamsicle.

Only small service hiccup was when checking in for our reservation, the CM didn't actually check us in so we sat for 15 minutes past our reservation time before we noticed on the app we weren't checked in. When we brought it up, another CM promptly fixed it. No worries there!

Overall, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Great use of a table service credit if you're on the DDP by the way; $45-55 a person meal/soda only before upgrades.”

“The menu here is delicious. The service is delightful. I’m not sure if people have really caught on to just how great this location is in terms of location and price. This has become one of our faves while visiting the Walt Disney World Resort!”

“Simply delicious and fabulous”

“This place is awesome. The food is amazing. Make sure you get a grilled cheese and a grown up lemonade. Carmen was working the register and was amazing. She made everything fantastic.”

“Best ice cream ever and with the Grand Marnier it was super special 10 out of 10 recommend”

“Excellent frozen coffee and magnificent pastries etc!”

“Amazing food. Super friendly service.”

“Yummy Breakfast! Great service!”

“Good food, quick service restaurant, inside dining.”

“The milk everfloweth here. Blue is my favorite, but mix green and blue for a real treat. May the stars light your way.”

“Great service from Chance. He checked on us frequently with an enthusiastic and friendly presence. Our day by the amazing pool was very relaxing. Kids enjoyed the watersides and waterfalls while we relaxed.”

“A very cool experience. The food is tasty too!”

“Got dole whip with rum. It's a must evertime I'm here .”

“Great tasting salad. However was disappointed that they no longer carry Tusker beer. Our server said it was taken out a while ago, before he worked there. So then pls update the menu on your website.”

“Nice pool for kids and adults. Nice bar for the adults. Great day for in between park visits. Big slide for the kids, hot tub and toddlers splash area. They have it all here.”

“Its a quick stop so the service is always good but rushed. Never have tried the food but i always have the get the IPA. Its brewed specifically for Pandora at Animal Kingdom. Its fruity with not too much hops”

“My friend was in Orlando to support a conference at the Dolphin, and she suggested we meet at this lounge in the Boardwalk Inn hotel. As you enter the hotel, the bar is to your right and as you walk down the hallway, you turn to the left by the staircase, and you are there. It's a nice, small bar with additional tables and chairs on the balcony.

On the Sunday evening that we went, there was no waitress to take your order. You selected the menu from the bar area and then placed your order with the bartender. We ordered the Askur Gimlet ($19.50) and the Sparkling Hibiscus ($18.50) cocktails. My friend enjoyed her gimlet, and my hibiscus drink was nice, but a little sweet for me. The hibiscus flower in the glass was edible, which was cool to experience.

Overall, nice place for a cocktail, but the prices are high and the drinks were not that strong. I know this is a Disney resort and you pay extra for the environment, but I expected a little more for $20+ drinks (with tax and tip) and minimal service. However, it's a quaint spot to stop in for the experience.”

“Excellent atención, buena comida muy fresca”

“A box stand that serves funnel cakes with a few options. We had strawberry funnel cake. Pretty good; crispy & not overly sweeten with a soft serve vanilla ice cream.

“Love the ketchup delivery!”
