  We went for our anniversary and had a phenomenal time! The food was excellent! David (from Cincinnati) took his time to talk through the menu and recommendations and guest favorites. We ended up changing 1 of our orders to the Wagyu steak per his recommendation and it did not disappoint! It is definitely pricey so we'll probably only go on special occasions, but we for sure will be back!

  My son took my husband and I here for our 40th wedding anniversary and I’m vegan, they didn’t have anything to offer except pasta, which I don’t eat because I eat very healthy. I ordered just steamed carrots with what he said was large slices of butternut squash and a dry baked potato. The waiter brought me out pasta with pan fried carrots and green beans which I specifically said no green beans and only steam them. They sent them back and then brought me out a plate of stir fried greasy tons of green beans and a few carrots and hard nuggets of butternut squash. I only ate the hard 5 little balls of squash and one carrot. My belly killed me all night. He didn’t take meal off of bill and never even acknowledged we were celebrating our 40th anniversary. The hostess said to us Happy Anniversary so she knew it was our anniversary. Sorry not a fan of the food or service. I would never go back.

  So when you go to a Disney World restaurant expect that you'll be paying for a high end meal but end up with a average one at best. Disney is not selling Michelin, they're selling Disney. So if you do that you can't be disappointed and yet I was. The dinning area we were placed in was very nice but the table for four would probably have been better for two. The dinning area was pretty covered by tables and diners proving the staff to be extremely skilled in their service. Our challenge was that between two glasses (water and soda), an entree plate, light in the center of the table and two vegetable plates to be shared, it was cramped and a culinary obstacle course. So I got the preliminarily experience out of that way let's move on to the meals. Only two appetizers were ordered, the Lobster Bisque which was presented very well but was a bit underwhelming. Then there was the Pork Belly. Now pork bellly, when executed correctly, should just melt in your mouth. The joy of the pork belly if the rendered fat and tender meat. NEITHER existed with this fish. Where the Lobster Bisque was underwhelming, the Pork Belly was a criminal offense. The table ordered one Filet Mignon, one New York Strip and two Bone-in Ribeyes. The Filet was a good piece of meat, and cooked perfectly to a medium. The New York Strip and Bone-in Ribeyes were not close to the quality of the pricing. These were priced like Capital Grille and delivered more like a Texas Roadhouse without the execution. My ribeye was accompanied by a crab cake on top. Yes it had crab on it, but that cake was all shape and nothing else. Don't get me wrong, I prefer my crab cakes aren't mostly filler, but I also expect a little effort in creating a dining experience. The entrees were served with either mashed potatoes, flavorless or scalloped potatoes. The scalloped potatoes were one of the two best tings about this meal. Enough so my wife gave up on her mashed potatoes and told k over my scalloped potatoes and asparagus. There were also two sides ordered, creamed spinach which, here we go again, was underwhelming and the second star of the night, the brussel sprouts. Best flavor of the evening hands down. These were excellent. The meal was finished off with chocolate cake that was fine. Overall I gave this restaurant 2 stars and would never go back. The experience was not worth the almost $500 cost that included a $100 tip (with no alcoholic beverages ordered). Definitely not when there are some AMAZING steakhouses in the area both chain and local that will deliver excellent aged cuts of beef. My personal favorite is F&D Prime Modern Steakhouse in Lake Mary, but I also think STK in Disney Springs delivers a much better culinary experience at the same if not slightly higher costs. So the only question I have for such a disappointing experience is, is it laziness, cost control or just a rush to deliver servings that led the such a blah dinner? Or maybe it's Disney arrogance that their visitors will pay anything just to say I did it? Neither is good and pride should matter which here it clearly didn't.

  10/10 experience. Our server Brandon was impeccable. Shrimp cocktail, wedge salad & French onion soup were truly perfect. Steaks cooked to perfection. And they acknowledged our anniversary we were celebrating with a complimentary little Mickey flourless torte. Highly, highly recommend!

  The Waiter (named Bao) had been there 6 years, which is always a good sign and he offered A+ service and recommendations. Four of us had the lobster bisque, which he said takes 3 days to prepare and the result was the best I’ve ever tried. We shared two dishes—the fettuccini with added chicken and the bone-in ribeye—and they were superb. Asking for a good cab, Bao suggested one the restaurant has been serving for years, the Chappellet Mountain Cuvée, which was very good, a strong one best with steak and I highly recommend it. We had the chocolate cake for dessert, which was extra yummy and above the typical good chocolate cake, extra moist. Outstanding restaurant, far better than I had expected even for a prime Disney hotel.
