50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Lake Buena Vista

“Awesome place ! Gipsy was great too“

“Wonderful restaurant! A quick monorail or boat ride from Magic Kingdom. We shared the lobster bisque, probably the best I have ever had. We had the blackened redfish and the vegetable paella. The veggies in the paella were roasted and full of flavor but the dish was a bit spicy. The fish was terrific. The views of the lake and Magic Kingdom are beautiful and the dock is a great place to watch the nightly electric water pageant.“

“The food was really delicious. The ambiance and environment is beautiful with all the lights above you and the cool food trays that are rotating trees on the table. A lot of Snow White characters are around and you get to “visit” the queen to take pictures. You will have to try the desserts. The best one is the cookies and crème panna cotta. It does cost 2 tickets or meals if you’re on the dining plan unfortunately. If you don’t mind paying for a little bit extra or one of your meals, then I’d say give it a try. The food is delicious and it was a very fun dinner. If you love Snow White or the evil Queen, it’s a must!

“December 28, 2024-
Luis you are absolutely the best!!Myself and 5 other family members had reservations at Amare in the Swan Reserve. Four of us have eaten there before and absolutely loved their filet mignon and the Amare salad along with their pita chips. Last night 15 min before our reservation I decided to look at the menu , not thinking anything of it to my surprise the menu changed and now I’m in a panic. The Amare salad along with the filet mignon is no longer on the menu. How am I suppose to modify a dining reservation for a party of 6 so close to our reservation time. I’m highly allergic to all shellfish and seafood , so our options were very limited to none. We decided to go to Amare anyway. Our server, Luis greeted us with a smile. We had the perfect table in front of the kitchen. Everything was beautiful. We all open our menus and I’m like oh no . I knew the menu changed , I call Luis over and asked is there any way I can get the Amare salad along with the filet mignon. He said I’m so sorry the Chef changed the menu 3 weeks ago. I said you have 6 people here who won’t try or eat anything from the new menu. I’m so sorry but we may have to leave, Please understand with my allergies and how picky everyone else is this isn’t going to work out. Luis said hold on. He went to his manager and the chef and they came back to our table and said we can get you all the filet mignon from Shulas, we will cook it with the sides from the ribeye, will that be okay? Absolutely!!!!! Once again Amare did not disappoint. Luis went above and beyond our expectations. Hands down to this amazing person who went out of his way to make our dinner extra special with some Disney Magic !!! We can’t thank you enough and are looking forward to seeing you again in March.“

“I don't normally review restaurants inside theme park hotels. However, this place is not your typical theme park restaurant. Located in side the Caribbean beach resorts. It's quite frankly one of the best all you can eat buffet in all of Disney World. I could not stop myself from eating the Cilantro Lime rice. The staff is so attentive that they will make you blush. When you visit this place, you will agree It's money well spent.“

“I came here with my family, who wanted to treat me to a birthday dinner with my wife, and we fell in love with the staff and the food. The service was exceptional, and we felt cared for by the staff and our server Tess, who was lovely and so friendly. We didn't wait long for our food and when we took our first bite it was love at first sight. I want to thank the staff here as everybody was so friendly and a special thanks to Tess again for making tonight a memorable one!“

“Love this place!! Host Melanie was such a delight, amazing customer service.“

“Excelente experiencia. Estuve celebrando mi cumpleaños y fue todo muy especial. La atención de Paul fue maravillosa. La presentación de cada plato desde los mocktail, las diferentes sales que acompañan los cortes de carne y la presentación del postre fue maravilloso. La pizza de tuna es deliciosa. El arroz frito con vegetales sabroso. Me encantó la música tan agradable. Es un lujo el hotel, los baños con Lociones de Santal 33, y la amabilidad del Valet parking! Altamente recomendado.“

“Excellent restaurant, delicious food and the best service!“

“Good food at a reasonable price“

“WOW—my mom and I were blown away. The service, the decor, the drinks, the food. The entire experience was an 11/10 for us. My mother said this was the “best chicken I have ever tasted.” Being GF was no problem at all for me. No complaints, no edits!

Dietary restrictions: Staff were very conscious about our food sensitivities (main one being gluten free). No issue at all ordering off the menu and the food was divine.“

“I love wine for oysters. I love the service and the food. My all time favorite now is the jambalaya and the smoked tuna dip omg amazing.“

“FIRST TIME HERE AN EVERYTHING WAS TASTFUL FRESH OVERALL 10 PLUS WILK DEFINITELY BE BACK“

“Edit: the bathrooms need some attention. This is unacceptable, everyone pooping has to touch the roll of toilet paper. We came in this past Wednesday night for Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos (our favorite entrée that never disappoints). This location is less than two miles from home, and with all the options in the area, there's nowhere else we go for fish! I've had the Bang Bang Shrimp many times before, and this time was no different. It tastes so good that I always make sure to bring some home to have for later!
The service we received from our server to the kitchen and even the Manager, Miguel, was phenomenal.
The same goes for previous visits, on different days of the week and at different times of the evening. We've sat at the bar several times to meet with friends, and with the intention on going for dinner more so than drinks. But the service from both bartenders has always been exceptional. We have never had a problem receiving our food or being ignored/skipped when requesting a drink.“

“Wings are great, just don't breathe before the bite or else the spices will get to you. Also the etoufee was pretty solid as well. If you've never had beignets before, they're kind of like a different take on funnel cake if you like that.“

“hun bediening. hun vriendelijkeid en behulpzaamheid. je hoefde niet lang te wachten op het eten“

“Wonderful experience and amazing atmosphere coupled with great service and exquisite food!“

“We love red lobster and our server Denise was outstanding ! we’re from up north and we came down back in mid July 2022 we will be returning.“

“Delicious crab legs and great service.“

“Eaten here twice now thru Uber Eats delivery of dinner to work and both times the food was quite good. It is closeby, so the wait is relatively short and the food arrives hot and fresh. The Sandwich with entrée and fries is a good bang for your buck as far as quantity of food for the price. Certainly will eat here again.“

“Had dinner at the bar. Food was great, service from bartenders Reggie and Cody excellent. Very attentive to everyone on a very busy night.“

“Food was tasty. The natural juices was amazing. The Bolon was so good. Going back tomorrow to try different dishes.“

“We were in from St Louis staying at Universal..we got a Lyft to go out to a local restaurant on a hunt for a seafood boil..we found THE BEST SEAFOOD BOIL EVER at Mr. & Mrs. Crab!!! My daughter was over the moon! We did the build your own and it was absolutely perfect with crab, shrimp & lobster tail! We picked the sauce and we opted no seasoning/spice, you get to pick your flavor and spice level separately!!.. SO DELICIOUS!!! All of it, including potatoes and corn were cooked to perfection! The staff were so friendly and welcoming! The food was ready fairly quick, not much of a wait at all! The place is decorated in a cute nautical theme! It was very clean!We will definitely be back, every time we are in Orlando! (Whoever the server was on Fri night/5-31-24, was a complete sweetheart!)“

“Great experience at Bubba Gump in Orlando today! Finished up at Universal with my wife and daughter (her 9th birthday) and our daughter wanted to eat here. Doug was our waiter, he was very nice, knowledgeable of the menu, played a little trivia with us and responsive! Great server! Spinach artichoke dip was tasty, shrimp ravioli was fantastic and bourbon street mahi was good too! To top it off the staff came out and sang a birthday song with an ice cream sandwich. Great time all around! Thanks Doug for being a rockstar waiter and making our meal that much better!“

“Went for happy hour and sat at the outside bar. Nice set up. Place was hopping so service was a little slower but still good. Enjoyed some drinks and food special. The piranha ribs sounded interesting and were a hit. Golden shrimp was decent and the tuna poke nachos were really good. 2 dollar oysters are a good price too. Definitely coming back.“

“Exceptional service with amazing food!“

“Hands down the best seafood I have had in a very long time. I was lucky to try this great food at a food truck Friday. The chicken and shrimp, my wife and 3 year old enjoyed. I went with the shrimp and crab. It was amazing. Fresh cooked to order. It came with potatoes, sausage and an ear of corn all smothered in this amazing homemade butter.I could go on and on about how great this meal was. And normally I don’t write about food, but this deserves 5 stars and more.I hope they are back in my town again next month because I really want to try the lobster.Great customer service and great people all around. Give them a try and you will not be disappointed.“

“We had a great dinner. Don't let the market menu price shock you because it is well worth the money. Gourmet food, service and friendly! The seafood is very fresh. Thank you J! and mom.“

“Great experience all around! Ribeyes were amazing! So much flavor and cooked perfect“

“Beautiful hotel and resort with great food.“

“If you're looking for an incredible dining experience, El Cilantrillo is the place to be! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch—the staff was welcoming, attentive, and made sure we felt right at home.

But the real star of the night? The food! Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. From the mouthwatering mofongo to the perfectly grilled meats and fresh seafood, every bite was a taste of authentic Puerto Rican goodness. The portions were generous, and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste.

El Cilantrillo has definitely set the bar high for Latin cuisine. If you’re craving delicious food paired with outstanding service, this is the spot. Highly recommend!“

“My Daughter and I was there on Saturday and I must say Delish.I will be back for sure.“

“Great place to enjoy having some snacks by the pool, which is very well maintained at the Gran Meliá hotel. It is one of the open-air restaurants. I met it in the play Las criadas del Meliá and it seemed like an excellent option for going out. to have something
Highly recommended
