La comida estuvo bien pero el servicio tuvo el descaro y cero tacto la Hostess de ir a callar a mi hijo autista porque no iba con el tipo de lugar. Tuve que pedir la cuenta antes y ellos felices de que nos fuéramos. Totalmente inaceptable y menos para un lugar como Disney que se supone que estos aspectos están cuidados.

Just went for our anniversary and it was fabulous! Typically we don’t talk about Bruno… but he was a great server and is very knowledgeable. No apps, however the short ribs and oak fired filet. Cooked absolutely perfect and the flavor was outstanding. Absolutely the best meal on property.

Love Jiko!
We got the injira as an appetizer, it was perfect for a group of 4.
Then our party ordered:
Fish with the tomato and mushroom 10/10 everyone loved this
Short ribs: they were good, but it’s not a traditional short rib.
Filet mignon: lowest rated from our group. It’s a normal filet, so skip it and get something different and exciting.
