Ravello
“Fantastic is an understatement. Homemade fresh pasta, amazing Bronzino, steak - every dish was delicious. Dessert is a must. Pro-tip plan dinner around Disneys 830p fireworks and watch from 17th floor. Parking is complimentary w validation & please remember to bring cash tip for parking valet. Bonus! The grounds at The Four Seasons make for a great photo opp.”
“The food is very good, in an African atmosphere where the dishes are (some) from this particular part of the world.The menu is very well taken care of, since it is quite limited, but it makes up for it with the range of flavors and textures of the food.The prices are somewhat high, but the staff is very good and always attentive to any request from diners.Highly recommended!!!”

Capa
“We had a great dinner at Capa. The staff and food were both amazing. They accommodated our request to sit on the patio to see the Disney fireworks and have us the best seat in the house! We had a great time and really enjoyed the steak with the bone marrow.”
“As one of the only places that serves alcohol in Magic Kingdom, I give this four stars. Otherwise it’s average at best. And to be honest - the booze is watered down and not worth the calories. The Cachapas are actually decent but the rest is meh. Definitely make a reservation but we were able to walk up and wait 20 minutes at lunch time. I don’t dine the interior particularly cute but it’s down”
“Great place to swing by if you are in Disney Springs. Very cool decor. We sat in a booth that was a boat, which we enjoyed. We started with an order of truffle fries, a strawberry daiquiri, and blueberry lemonade with vodka. We ordered the catch of the day which was Halibut. We also ordered Mahi Mahi tacos and a kids chicken tender meal. The bread was really good with that honey butter. Great place overall!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The drinks were great, the food was even better, but honestly the star of the show for us was the outdoor bartender Ali. She was attentive, sweet, funny, and she was quick. We will be back many many times and we just hope she's here! What a wonderful place!”
“Our server Luis was wonderful! My wife and I visited Amare 9 months prior and had Luis as well and he remembered us when we returned!Not only is the Amare flatbread the best on Disney property, the Orangecello aperitif is a perfect way to end a great meal, the atmosphere is clean and relaxing, and there are always last minute reservations available!”
“So myself and my husband got engaged 2 years ago at City works John did such a great job and played it off so well when my husband was down on one knee.We went back today for anniversary and we met with John and Stephanie the bartender. They both were wonderful!We haven't been back since we got engaged until today.a huge thank you Stephanie and John !John even remembered us and came up to us.Stephanie was amazing.We love city works!Thank you both for going the extra mile !”

“We had the best night at The Edison! The food was delicious - the bacon appetizer, roasted cauliflower and tri-color carrots and the grilled cheese were off the charts! So yummy!!! The entertainment was wonderful!”
“I really enjoy this restaurant! It has good food, great atmosphere and it’s pretty affordable! It’s a nice escape from the Florida heat in the summer as well. I got the Shrimp Lo Mein last time, which was really good, but I’d love to try the Tuna Nachos!”
“Nice staff and good flavors. Fresh Naan multiple chutney flavors available. Boatload of flavors in one meal. Highly recommend. Tucked next to Disney Christmas shop.”
“For the price, this is a great place to eat on a budget at Disney Springs. Good food, good atmosphere, and above average service. Prices are slightly inflated, but no more than to be expected at Disney.”
“Sushi was great, the iron chef 1998 winning dish was amazing ! Inside of the restaurant was really nice. Prices are high, but it's Disney springs, what else would you expect. Was great to finally go to this restaurant, I have been a big fan of the original show and Iron Chef Morimoto since I was kid watching on food network.”
“It was crazy crowded, but the line moves pretty quickly. We were able to find a table. Pizza was crispy and tasty. Service was a little slow, but expected given the massive rush of people. I would definitely get pizza here again.”
“During the daytime, I only noticed the large windows, but as it gets dark, the majority of the sides are glass, allowing the bright interior to be visible from outside. This could be tempting for Starbucks lovers.”
“Very delicious creps, very good service, and recommendations are Savoyarde, chèvre, and to finish the banane with vanilla ice cream for dessert. It’s perfect and it’s something different to eat.”
“Haven’t been back to Rain Forest Cafe at Disney Springs in a few years but being back in the area Jonnie K made it a nice evening out, made sure my kids were taken care of as well as my wife. Even when they were slammed she made time to make sure we were all ok and had everything we needed!”
“Fantastic food and breathtaking views! I'm very surprised by the mixed reviews as this was an amazing experience. The service was stellar, the Spanish-inspired menu was amazing, and we just could not get over how beautiful the views were. This restaurant sits at the top of Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. The pricing was fair, too. Portion sizes can be smaller sometimes at Spanish/tapas restaurants, but we were very satisfied here. This may be one of our new favorites on Disney property!”

Outdoor Dining
“Always a great visit. They are rightly known for the wine list which is extraordinary. But it would be pointless without knowledgeable and patient staff which they are. Excellent suggestions and explanations. I'll go back for sure next time I'm in town”

“Disney world makes the perfect iconic Turkey Leg. It is incredibly and perfectly juicy, tender, flavourful, huge, and filling. It is available here at Fife & Drum Tavern in Epcot which also sells beer, popcorn, hot dogs, and other disney snacks like Mickey Pretzels with cheese. Makes for a quick and tasty meal on the go as you explore the world showcase.”
“Amazing! Best bar and grill on disney property. Bison burguer amazing and wings with teriyaky wow! Try the pinneaple mule. Staff is amazing, especially manager mauro. Made the disney experience amazing.”
“It is hard to overstate just how unbelievably good the food here is. The couscous are absolutely bursting with flavor, the tea is the perfect blend of light and sweet, the main dishes are excellent, and the desserts are a perfect blend of mixed flavors and textures. All the courses are delicious and healthy, and I eagerly look forward to next time.”
“We love the atmosphere at Three Bridges. The food is excellent each time. I got the wedge salad with grilled chicken. For dessert, churros (chocolate sauce was light and so good!). The Queso dip appetizer with chorizo and roasted red pepper was amazing.Kid-friendliness: Since the entire restaurant is open-air, but covered, I don’t worry as much about loud kids. Ours was preoccupied and was able to stay in his stroller which was also nice.”
“A lovely quiet resort, immaculately presented and close to Disney Springs. We had a studio which was great for our family, really spacious. Lots of storage and useful kitchenette. Daily housekeeping was great, plentiful supply of towels, coffee, soaps etc. Wider resort was lovely to walk around. We were in Paddock which is a good distance between the main springs area and Disney springs. The pool area in paddock has a slide and kids splash park with a great bar, which has a drinks station for resort mugs open till 10. Buses were not full as we were on stop 3, not far to walk to our room in block 5. Used the artists palette for a few supplies and one breakfast. Nice but there were better quick serve food selections in non DVC resorts. All staff were great, quick to help and made our stay a breeze. Wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend, but more resorts to try out yet.”
“I love this quick service restaurant inside animal kingdom! I ordered two of the Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Pulled Pork, one French Fries with Pulled Pork and Cheese, and one regular French fries. It cost a total of $40.95 after tax. I was able to feed 2 adults, 3 kids, and one infant from these large portions. Take your food down to the quiet sitting areas to the left of the restaurant. These spots are somewhat private and tranquil with the wildlife. It makes for a great stop to rest your feet after a long day of park walking. Definitely a must eat when you are at Disney!Kid-friendliness: Mac and cheese and French fries on the menu are always a great option for kids!”
“It's kitsch, it's fake, it's Disneyfied artifice stacked on a foundation of fakery. It's also an awesome time.Go spend all day at the parks schlepping around your kids, then ditch them in the room and steal a minute away here at the end of the day with your SO...[CHEF'S ”
“This establishment has outstanding theming. It transports guests back to the time of Jock Lindsey (Indiana Jones' pilot), with his office visible in the loft along with a cage for his big snake, Reggie. (Unfortunately, the lid for the cage is askew and the cage is empty.) You can choose to sit inside and enjoyh all of the artifacts, or you can sit on the veranda overlooking the lake at Disney Springs. The beer is always cold and the bar food is tasty.”
“Cute quick service lunch on our dining plan. I had the poke which was more like a salad usually poke I get has a base like rice or noodles. The pink alcoholic drink I had was really nice. My husband had the stir fry and it was good. Atmosphere is cool!”
“I will give this place credit for being interesting and making pretty drinks and foods that are probably an Instagram dream. However, the multiple times I’ve stood in line is just not worth it. Firstly, and I may be an island here, the pineapple cream cheese roll is disgusting. Probably just not my taste but I thought it was the worst. The cinnamon roll was stale. The drinks look pretty but there’s clearly almost no alcohol in them. You’d get diabetes before you’d ever get even a buzz. When you’re paying cocktail prices, that bugs me (no pun intended haha)”
“This is a very ideal & comfy quick serve restaurant for the Saratoga Springs resort. The theming is very subtle, although the glasswork in the ceiling is the icing on the cake in the decor. The service was good and took care of our needs in a timely manner.The food here is actually pretty good. My ham & cheese panini is flavorful and at the right temperature. The Margherita pizza is also good with the basil, as well as everything else. Overall, wouldn’t hesitate to come here!”
“Get the Broccoli tomato flatbread. This is my only review. Get one to try it and share, then get another one just for yourself. I will take myself out of MK just to get this. Try it as many times as you need so you can try to replicate back home. The cast members and service is great, you know this. The ambiance is super relaxed to be the grand floridian. Theres always people but it doesn't feel busy. Get the flatbread. This is heaven but no matter how good I let you know, you need to order this.”
“Overall, great experience. Will be back to try more things. We had Foccacia, Meatballs, Burrata Linguine, and Della Nona Pasta. The cocktail was perfectly balanced as well. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The hostess seemed annoyed and a little moody but other than that, great experience.”

“We went last spring and again this past week. Both times we had a great experience! Food and drinks are amazing! My husband raves about the red fish. Service is attentive and the server had good recommendations. Beautiful view of the lagoon.”

Takumi-Tei
“Truly a highlight of our trip to Epcot. This was a great way to send off our Disney trip. The service was true fine dining and they went above and beyond to serve us. The waitress was knowledgeable and friendly which added so much to the experience. The food was absolutely top notch authentic Japanese cuisine! The set menu was delicious and filling. With the Sake pairings it was a perfect match. While expensive, it was great to celebrate our engagement! Looking forward to dining here again!Vegetarian options: There is a vegetarian, plant based set menu.Dietary restrictions: They are able to support all dietary restrictions, Disney is very accommodating as always.Kid-friendliness: Allow kids 8 and up. They should be well behaved for a fine dining environment.”
“Amazing! Best bar and grill on disney property. Bison burguer amazing and wings with teriyaky wow! Try the pinneaple mule. Staff is amazing, especially manager mauro. Made the disney experience amazing.”

“Our server Luis was wonderful! My wife and I visited Amare 9 months prior and had Luis as well and he remembered us when we returned!Not only is the Amare flatbread the best on Disney property, the Orangecello aperitif is a perfect way to end a great meal, the atmosphere is clean and relaxing, and there are always last minute reservations available!”
“We went there for lunch but on Sunday they only serve brunch menu. However, they agreed to prepare dish from the lunch menu given the brunch had limited options. The food, drinks, and the service was A+++. This place is located in the golf resort and away from the hotel but the overall experience was great.”
“Amazing food. Amazing service! Philip was our server and he was top notch! Shared all the pertinent info and went above and beyond to answer questions and make sure everything was perfect. And it was! The food was amazing! Filet was perfectly done and hubby had the tuna and it was to die for! Cocktails were so fun and the wine list was extensive! Would recommend anyone and everyone eat here!!!!”
“We went to Summer House on the Lake this morning for lunch. Wonderful food and atmosphere. But our waitress and the staff were wonderful. They all kept telling me how adorable and sweet my son was. They made the whole lunch great and made my whole weekend”
“Was a bit scapticle because of the reviews. Happy we went the Alfredo with shrimp was absolutely delicious and my husband had the steak special abd was very pleased also. Service was ”
“Food was great--especially the Brussel Sprouts--but the service was Exceptional! We were staying at a nearby hotel and ate there two nights because everything--especially the staf--was so great the first night.”
“A fun restaurant to bring your kids! The best antidote to keep cell phones and tablets out of the equation!Very cool excavation site for the kids to play in! I think my oldest wants to be a paleontologist now!”
“We ate here both mornings of our stay in March 2024. We were seated promptly both times with no wait and our service was fast and on point. The food both days was excellent and served hot. This is a great option with a lot of variety for eating multiple days before the parks or before starting your day.”
“Awesome food. Great amount per serving. I normally don't eat French fries. However, I ate his. They were delicious. I don't know what they do to their water. It's the best water in Florida. Definitely doesn't have the Florida taste. I highly recommend you go there.”
“My family and I had a wonderful time at the Rainforest cafe! Brianne our server was so sweet and kind to our kids. She made sure to give them special attention and she even had great beach recommendations for my family and I!”
“Amazing food, amazing people, amazing service. Uriel was our server and he was top class. Love the tequila choices they have, even choices that derive from Mexico just go to show Frontera Concina’s culture and love for Mexican hertiage.”
“Chef Geoff was AMAZING!!! He went above and beyond while cooking my wife's dinner, going as far as cooking her food in a brand new pan in a separate area of the kitchen. The meatloaf I had was incredible. THIS IS DISNEY Magic AT ITS FINEST!”
“Just finished a great meal at Il Mulino at the Swan hotel at Disney. Service was an A+. Steven and Carmelo were outstanding, super friendly, and personable. Food was an A+. We had the Bronzino, Fettuccini Alfredo, and the Veal Milanese. Wow. Did not disappoint. I highly highly recommend this restaurant and will be returning….hopefully soon. It is a bit pricey but well worth it. Treat yourself on vacation or for a special occasion.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly portions and options. Staff was great dealing with kids.”
“Our server Aline was excellent today! There was a group of us that finished a dance competition and wanted to be shouted out on the video board and she was so kind to help us celebrate. She gave us a great overview of the menu, as none of us had ever been to the restaurant before. She truly made the meal a wonderful experience and everyone left so happy. Thanks Aline for your amazing service and positivity!Dietary restrictions: Made us feel very safe and cared for that they ensured we were safe and felt heard.”
“Mind blown that this place is anywhere under a 4.5 rating. My family and I have gone here almost a dozen times, brunch , lunch and dinner and we have had a spectacular experience Everytime. Service is always good if not above and beyond. The ambience is so beautiful and airy with the best views of the lake. But the food is what's really outstanding...I've had their rigatoni Bolognese so many times, it's always top tier. Their brunch Benedict is like none I've ever seen, loaded with 2 eggs on a crispy baguette....but what's always a highlight is for the kiddos. They get an option for a starter, sizeable entree and an ice cream and drink for their whole meal price. Again, these other reviews are seriously off, perhaps it's the pricing. But you're at Disney getting high caliber food so I don't see why so sticker shocked...but take it from me, this place is phenomenal and we will be back many more times I can assure you!”
“The best food I ate during our one week trip at Disney was from Sebastian's Bistro. I enjoyed all the food, but one thing REALLY stood out and is the reason I'm giving this a 5 star review.If you like steak and you like broccolini, their flank steak paired with the charred broccolini (get some of both in each bite) was literally top 5 things I've ever eaten. It hits on all notes and it will be a must for me the next time we visit Disney. Sides and other meats were very good too, but the steak was my favorite.3 stars for service only because our reservation was seated 30 minutes late, but the food was top notch.”
“It is hard to overstate just how unbelievably good the food here is. The couscous are absolutely bursting with flavor, the tea is the perfect blend of light and sweet, the main dishes are excellent, and the desserts are a perfect blend of mixed flavors and textures.

Takeout Restaurants
“Everytime we are in disney we have to stop in Gideons, worth the wait in line. The employees have always been cordial and welcoming. the atmosphere is very well done. I've never had a bad cookie from them!”
“Great place to get a snack or a treat, while I was there right outside was a parade which was fun to watch and eat. I recommend getting a table before the parade because it gets really busy during and right before the parade. I got the turkey leg, a lot of people love it but it was not for me. The other people I was with loved it though so I recommend trying it if you have not had it.Vegetarian options: A lot of fruits.Dietary restrictions: They have different kinds of fruits for dietary restrictions also.Parking: Hundreds of parking spotsKid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair accessible”
“Disney magic kingdom Storybook Treats Seasonal Princess Ice Cream is a must-try! I got the Aurora Cone in April 2024, loaded with strawberry and soft drink flavors and white chocolate crispy pearls. It's got a nice tanginess to it and comes in a massive size for $7. Definitely worth a try!”
“"Amorette's Patisserie Mickey-shaped cake is decent—while not the best, its adorable shape delights kids and adds a whimsical touch to any celebration.”
“Not one of the best places in the park to stop at but they do have fast counter food service and refreshments. There also are some drums, as part of their theming, so the kids can play with them and have fun, plus it has shade. Not the best but a good option if you are nearby.”
“amazing ice cream. service was super quick. of course its busy cuz it's disney and maybe a bit overpriced but i think u get a lot of ice cream for that price. no place to sit but we just sat on a bench nearby”
“Besides the Dole plantation in Oahu and the ice cream place next to the Enchanted Tiki room at Magic Kingdom, this is the only place to get the pineapple smoothie. Yum!”
“Went to this shop, while I was at Animal Kingdom, I got the marinated chicken flatbread. I was surprised as it was the best theme park food I have ever tried. The flavours were very good and everything tasted really fresh. I highly recommend this if you are in the mood for a donair, wrap style food.”
“This is such a great spot. Perfect little walk up bar right by Everest. We’ve never waited in line but we’ve always ended up seeing a line after we’ve ordered so maybe that’s just luck of the draw. The bartenders are really great and can make accommodations upon request. For example, there was a drink I was really interested in but it had whiskey and I’m just not a fan. She recommended a replacement and adjusted the recipe accordingly. It was amazing and I ended up going back for a second. The only reason I can’t give all 5 stars and I truly believe Disney waters down its booze (and I get why, but it offends me lol)”
“The beignets with strawberry sauce are back and delicious! They were served warm. The sauce is watery, and I prefer it to be a little more to the thicker side. However, it was still good. FYI, it was so watery that it had bubbles in it.. from mixing, I suppose. The line was long but it went by pretty fast. We also ordered the chicken tenders and fries with cheese and bacon. I wish I would have ordered extra cheese and bacon on it, because I’m an over exaggerator :D However, again, it was still delicious. I would order both again. It was our first time ordering both of these items.”
“We picked up the Yeti Sundae and it was just what we needed on a hot day. Snow capped chocolate ice cream piled as high as the Himalayas with blue frost sprinkles and a Yeti chocolate lurking on the tip. (Snow is made with vanilla ice cream)”
“Great food for a good price! It was cool to try a burger in a doughnut, the flavor was great! The pulled pork mac and cheese was packed with flavor and easily feed three of us.”
“We had a lovely time. The drink menu is fun and creative; perfect for the setting. My only suggestion is carving off one of the many seating areas as adults only. We struggle with poorly-behaved children at luxury hotels. Seems like it's more common than other places...Dietary restrictions: They handled my wife's food allergies really well.”
“So professional. Staff are always on point with smiles and genuine happiness. The decor is quaint and it's the first pit stop on the day at HWS. Line out the door to the curbside takes about 18 mins to order at the counter. You can see the rhythm and the pace of the baristas and staff. Everyone knows their role and they are all going gangbusters. Wish there was seating outdoors more than a couple of tables.”
“Ordered Primo Piatto Breakfast for $11.99. Very affordable and Delicious breakfast with a fair portion. Includes Scrambled Eggs served over Mascarpone Polenta with a Sweet Brioche Roll served with Bacon and Italian Sausage!Clean place, friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere. Also spotted Pluto after my breakfast at the hotel.”
“We love the atmosphere at Three Bridges. The food is excellent each time. I got the wedge salad with grilled chicken. For dessert, churros (chocolate sauce was light and so good!).

“Beautiful experience here at Topolinos, with a view of the fireworks at night. This place couldn’t get anymore better! Delicious food, pasta, shrimp, desserts! It was my first time here and the servers were making my experience amazing. Thank you. I will be returning in the future.”

Cheap Eats
“We make sure to stop here every time we come to Disney Springs. You can get the trio sampler and feed three people with it. It’s only eight dollars and fun to try three different flavors. Highly recommend.”
“Although Starbucks' name is not in the store name, you can buy EPCOT exclusive mugs here.The inside of the store is spacious, has plenty of seating, and is kept clean, making it a perfect place to take a break after walking.”
“This bar is located at the main pool at Saratoga Springs. We stopped to grab a drink on the way back to our room since this location has way more options than the Backstretch Bar. The drinks are well made and you can change out any liquor in a signature drink to one you prefer. That along with the discount when ordering a double makes this a must stop at Saratoga.”
“I am always amazed at the quality of their food. Staff is always so pleasant and helpful.Kid-friendliness: Staff are so great with the kids, especially the lifeguards.”
“The only place where you can get Star Wars milk at Disney World. I went here during an after hours party and decided to give this treat a try. The service here was quick with our orders.The milk is like a mix between a proper drink and a frozen one. And don’t worry about lactose intolerance, because this is rice milk. The milk itself has a distinct taste, but it’s rather mild. Overall, would recommend trying at least once.”
“The Tune-In Lounge is a fun place to stop in and grab a fun and delicious drink. Unfortunately, there is not much seating in the lounge itself but we just grabbed our drinks and sat outside by Echo Lake. We will definitely be back!”
“I ordered a latte with Lavender syrup which was exciting since not all coffee shops/ stops have this. We also got some cinnamon rolls, chocolate banana bread, and madeleines. I wish they had a way to warm up the cinnamon rolls instead of directing us to the microwave downstairs. Other than this, the staff was amazing, food was amazing.”
“Good quick meal. Had the Cobb salad with chicken which was a nice portion and tasty. Others had a burger and chicken nuggets. Serve yourself fountains for refills.”
“The great thing about what I ordered is that it was all available right away. They must have increased the size of the cups. YES!!! The tea is delicious and ready to go as soon as you order. The apple pastry was pretty good.”
“The customer service at Lickety split exceeds expectations. The staff if super friendly, especially the manager, Jordyn who went above and beyond to ensure their customers were well taken care of.The morning date smoothie is my absolute favourite and I highly recommend it. Thank me later.”
“This Icecream shop is adorable and has wonderful workers! When I asked if they had vegan options the store manager came over to show me the binder of options for food allergies. I was pleasantly surprised to see a few options for vegan icecream! Not only did the manager help me with my options, he made sure the process of making the icecream was free from contamination of dairy products and served me the Tofutti icecream with sprinkles and a cherry on top!”
“Drinking a beer by the pool is always synonymous with a good time. If in addition the choice of beer is interesting and the place well laid out, the moment is all the more interesting.We didn't order food, because it's still "standard" snacks.”
“Good ice cream and cookie sandwich! I am giving this place an easy 5/5 stars because PETER (the cast member who helped me out) was AMAAAZING! Ice cream is average and so is the cookie. But on a hot summers day, getting that craving satisfied just feels extra magical. I swapped out vanilla ice cream for chocolate ice cream and it was great. OKAY NOW LET ME TALK ABOUT PETER. He was THE BEST! So friendly. Fun to talk to! Even added some Disney magic to my day by offering water cups and giving out some special treats to me ;) THANK YOU PETER!!!”
“I wouldn’t spend more than $5 on an order of seasoned French fries if it weren’t at a theme park. But I got hungry at the wrong place and ended up getting the seasoned Fries from Mr. Kamal at the Animal Kingdom.The seasoned fries was okay. It tasted like French fries with a lot of Aleppo Sumac. Nothing special but it wasn’t bad.But the outdoor dining was so special. Tables and chairs are beautiful crafted. And the adjacent waterway & surrounding landscape are calming and picturesque. Anything, including Mr. Kamal’s fries, would taste awesome here.”
“Every once in a while I will park at Disney Springs and take a bus to the Boardwalk (or Yacht Club, Beach Club, Swan or Dolphin). Then I’ll walk around the Boardwalk area, checking out the shops or, as was the case in this most recent trip, check out the Christmas decorations, especially the gingerbread creations and the miniature railroad set up at the Yacht Club. Then I stop and have lunch somewhere. Most of the time, it’s here at Hurricane Hanna’s.Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar and Grill is located right outside the shared pool of Yacht and Beach Club (Stormalong Bay). It’s a lovely spot to sit, eat, and people watch. You don’t have to be a pool user, or even be staying at the resort to eat here. It’s a quick service bar and grill so you can get a burger, chicken fingers, Caesar or garden salad, impossible burger, seafood roll, and my favorite, a chicken sandwich.The chicken sandwich I had was grilled, came with fries, and topped with cheese and a chunky avocado. I like avocado but I would have gotten this without avocado or on the side. Other than that, it was perfection. The fries were hot and crispy and salty. So good. I’m glad they went back to these fries and got rid of the waffle fries, which always seemed kinda stale.The chicken tenders are the same you get at every quick service at Disney, but my child thinks this one has the best tasting ones. Maybe it’s because we always build up an appetite from walking around?The chicken sandwich, as of 12/29/23, was $12.49 and a kids meal chicken fingers was $8.49 (you can ask to sub the fruit with French fries).It does have a small seating area and if you order at the window you’ll be given a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. It might be hard to get a seat there, but you can sit on the beach, or on the grass under a tree, or there’s a few more seats around the corner from the grill, by the ship (water slide).If you have room for dessert, make your way to the Beaches and Cream take out window and grab some ice cream or a sundae.

“For a poolside bar, this place is fcukin amazing!! 4 star restaurant quality food with an amazing bar and wine selection. Bartenders were super friendly and made one helluva drink.”
“Amazing food. Amazing service! Philip was our server and he was top notch! Shared all the pertinent info and went above and beyond to answer questions and make sure everything was perfect. And it was! The food was amazing! Filet was perfectly done and hubby had the tuna and it was to die for! Cocktails were so fun and the wine list was extensive! Would recommend anyone and everyone eat here!!!!”
“Fantastic Steak. As to be expected from a steak house, both the ribeye and the fillet mignon were top notch and cooked to perfection. The sides including mushroom risotto and fingerling potatoes were ok (I was a little underwhelmed by them). The Gruyère bacon mac and cheese was tasty.For beer we got La Fin du Monde which is a Belgian Abby style triple ale with a complex flavor and very refreshing. Also had the Moose Head lager (also refreshing ? ?).For dessert we got the Maple Crème Brûlée!!! It was soooo good.Service was ok, but on par with lesser chain restaurants.Will be back again.”
“It's kitsch, it's fake, it's Disneyfied artifice stacked on a foundation of fakery. It's also an awesome time.Go spend all day at the parks schlepping around your kids, then ditch them in the room and steal a minute away here at the end of the day with your SO...[CHEF'S ”
“Very delicious creps, very good service, and recommendations are Savoyarde, chèvre, and to finish the banane with vanilla ice cream for dessert. It’s perfect and it’s something different to eat.”
“Haven’t been back to Rain Forest Cafe at Disney Springs in a few years but being back in the area Jonnie K made it a nice evening out, made sure my kids were taken care of as well as my wife. Even when they were slammed she made time to make sure we were all ok and had everything we needed!”
“We were seated right at our breakfast reservation time. Hostesses lovely, waitress lovely. They had turkey bacon - yay!!! We did the buffet, which includes an entrée. Chocolate cherry waffles we're perfect.”
“We went to Summer House on the Lake this morning for lunch. Wonderful food and atmosphere. But our waitress and the staff were wonderful. They all kept telling me how adorable and sweet my son was. They made the whole lunch great and made my whole weekend”

“We had a lovely time. The drink menu is fun and creative; perfect for the setting. My only suggestion is carving off one of the many seating areas as adults only. We struggle with poorly-behaved children at luxury hotels. Seems like it's more common than other places...Dietary restrictions: They handled my wife's food allergies really well.”

“Great place to swing by if you are in Disney Springs. Very cool decor. We sat in a booth that was a boat, which we enjoyed. We started with an order of truffle fries, a strawberry daiquiri, and blueberry lemonade with vodka. We ordered the catch of the day which was Halibut. We also ordered Mahi Mahi tacos and a kids chicken tender meal. The bread was really good with that honey butter. Great place overall!”

“Gary was an amazing chef! Super personal and I would request him again. Elaine was our server and was very attentive. They both made my sons birthday very special?”
“Our server Aline was excellent today! There was a group of us that finished a dance competition and wanted to be shouted out on the video board and she was so kind to help us celebrate. She gave us a great overview of the menu, as none of us had ever been to the restaurant before. She truly made the meal a wonderful experience and everyone left so happy. Thanks Aline for your amazing service and positivity!Dietary restrictions: Made us feel very safe and cared for that they ensured we were safe and felt heard.”
“Just finished a great meal at Il Mulino at the Swan hotel at Disney. Service was an A+. Steven and Carmelo were outstanding, super friendly, and personable. Food was an A+. We had the Bronzino, Fettuccini Alfredo, and the Veal Milanese. Wow. Did not disappoint. I highly highly recommend this restaurant and will be returning….hopefully soon. It is a bit pricey but well worth it. Treat yourself on vacation or for a special occasion.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly portions and options. Staff was great dealing with kids.”
“I've been here a few times. It's a great place to stop for happy hour which is quite extensive. Love the margaritas. A Must stop when at Disney Springs.”
“Amazing food, amazing people, amazing service. Uriel was our server and he was top class. Love the tequila choices they have, even choices that derive from Mexico just go to show Frontera Concina’s culture and love for Mexican hertiage.”
“Overall, great experience. Will be back to try more things. We had Foccacia, Meatballs, Burrata Linguine, and Della Nona Pasta. The cocktail was perfectly balanced as well. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The hostess seemed annoyed and a little moody but other than that, great experience.”
“A fun restaurant to bring your kids! The best antidote to keep cell phones and tablets out of the equation!Very cool excavation site for the kids to play in! I think my oldest wants to be a paleontologist now!”
“Everytime we are in disney we have to stop in Gideons, worth the wait in line. The employees have always been cordial and welcoming. the atmosphere is very well done. I've never had a bad cookie from them!”
“Mind blown that this place is anywhere under a 4.5 rating. My family and I have gone here almost a dozen times, brunch , lunch and dinner and we have had a spectacular experience Everytime. Service is always good if not above and beyond. The ambience is so beautiful and airy with the best views of the lake. But the food is what's really outstanding...I've had their rigatoni Bolognese so many times, it's always top tier. Their brunch Benedict is like none I've ever seen, loaded with 2 eggs on a crispy baguette....but what's always a highlight is for the kiddos. They get an option for a starter, sizeable entree and an ice cream and drink for their whole meal price. Again, these other reviews are seriously off, perhaps it's the pricing. But you're at Disney getting high caliber food so I don't see why so sticker shocked...but take it from me, this place is phenomenal and we will be back many more times I can assure you!”
“My family and I had a wonderful time at the Rainforest cafe! Brianne our server was so sweet and kind to our kids. She made sure to give them special attention and she even had great beach recommendations for my family and I!”
“Awesome food. Great amount per serving. I normally don't eat French fries. However, I ate his. They were delicious. I don't know what they do to their water. It's the best water in Florida. Definitely doesn't have the Florida taste. I highly recommend you go there.”
“Olga’s was such a fun vibe that absolutely transported into Star Wars it’s super fun and cool, everyone is so nice and fits the story well. The hostess Louise went above and beyond for us and we loved her, thanks again Louise.”
“Nashville Hot Chicken was bangin! Food was out in minutes! Seasoned fries were a hit too. I’d only prefer one bigger piece of chicken instead of the two thin pieces”
“It was crazy crowded, but the line moves pretty quickly. We were able to find a table. Pizza was crispy and tasty. Service was a little slow, but expected given the massive rush of people. I would definitely get pizza here again.”
“Wonderful character experience! We loved seeing the characters of Winnie the Pooh, everyone was so friendly. Food was delicious and even the options for the kiddos was great! A little pricey especially for lunch but worth it for my girls smiles! Special thanks to Mandy (our waitress) who was wonderful!”
“Always a great visit. They are rightly known for the wine list which is extraordinary. But it would be pointless without knowledgeable and patient staff which they are. Excellent suggestions and explanations. I'll go back for sure next time I'm in town”
