“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!!!!”
“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!”
“We had an outstanding server named Amanda. She made outstanding recommendations for wine. She was very knowledgeable and her suggestions were top-notch. When we are back in Orlando, we hope that she will still be working at this establishment. She made our evening memorable and we love the food too. It complimented the wine selections.”

“GREAT dining experience and this place exceeded expectations. We had the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, Ahi Tuna Nachos and everything was fresh, FLAVORFUL and explosive! 😋 TOP Notch Customer Service: Joel (server) Kay (hostess) and Brian (floor manager)…truly enthused professionals. We will return…try Yak & Yeti today!”
“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!”

“There was a whole vegan flavors series today. I got a pistachio and chocolate flavor today that was amazing. My husband selected a flavor that was good, too. Even if they don't keep these vegan series, they have some regular flavors marked vegan. They let us sample some flavors to select the perfect 1.”

“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.”
“Very consistently great pizza. My third time eating here and it was great each time. Like subway for pizza. I suggest a carnivore for good topping value. Very reasonably priced also and fast cooked food. Only issue was the inability to find a table inside at times and insufficient heating outside to make it valid.”
“This place is in a beautiful location. The food was good, but I felt for the price was a little underwhelming. My wife said her steak and lobster were perfect, mine was a little tougher. I was upset by a minor server issue. Shockingly to me they brought my son and I our food and placed it in front of us while my wife and daughter were sitting without food. I thought a place presenting this level of class would serve ladies first. Luckily the food was ready, the wait staff (not our waitress) just had to go back and get it in a second trip from the kitchen. I also felt the charcuterie board was interesting but not worth the associated price for this diner. My daughter got the King Crab Leg appetizer that was $49 - it was ONE leg. It was large... it was good... I just wish she got a cluster, not one singular leg. Especially when it lists a half pound of steamed crab legs.”
“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”

“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!!”

“Amare is amazing. Other than the ribeye it is NOT worth 85 bucks. Everything else on the menu is truly incredible and worth the money. From the drinks to the bread service to salad. Service was incredible just don't waste your money on the ribeye and you'll love every second.”
“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”
“Hands-down, the best restaurant in Disney Springs. From the amazing chef inspired dishes (the Sticky Ribs might be my choice for proverbial last meal) to the beautiful and delicious cocktails, from the romantic ambiance to the awesome upstairs bar, from the impeccable service to the divine desserts, Morimoto is absolutely amazing. And if you do not have the time nor the wallet, the adjacent Morimoto Street Food takeout counter is almost as good!”
“Birthday dinner here with my wife. Some of the best tasting food and most wonderful service we’ve had in a very long time. Server Corwyn was perfect with his service and Manager Michael is an awesome guy with a ton of beer knowledge. Will be back a lot! Very high value establishment and well-run! :)”
“Just the most magical time!!! We had dinner reservations at 8:30 and had requested a window seat for the fireworks since it was for my birthday! I got a champagne flight which was very good and complimented the dinner and dessert. I had the shrimp for the appetizer whereas the kids had the pork belly. All of it was perfect. For dinner I chose the lamb which was tasty and cooked to perfection. And dinner was beautiful and tasted great! It is a more costly dining experience at Disney but it is just that AN EXPERIENCE!!! Purely magical!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”

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

“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.”

“Ordered food to go so we could eat on the ferry ride (great date night btw) Grabbed the kids lil naan pizza, comes with side and drink. We got grapes that came in a good container which is huge for my daughter. I got the samosas, which were incredible! A little bite, but great taste and texture. Two chutneys came with. Love walking in to the smell of curry”

“We went today and order the three main dishes, a salad, and drinks. The food was amazing and delicious, and servers was as expected far and beyond. The steak, fried chicken, and fish were tender and tasted really good. Overall, a great experience!”

“Went to the Disney Springs location tonight and it was great! Friendly staff, great food for a great price. With it being a little chilly outside for Florida the outside heaters were great. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely be back.”
“Great fun for all the ages of our group from 7 to 70.”
“Thanks Emily A for the amazing service. We had a fantastic meal!”
