Reviews
We recently stayed at the Four Seasons Walt Disney. We tried several of the restaurants there and the service was incredible at every restaurant however Fernando at the Lobby Bar raised the bar. He was so warm and welcoming to our little family. My daughter celebrated her 3rd birthday there and he made sure she felt extra special. Thank you Fernandez for the exceptional service. We will be looking for you on our next visit!
Fancy enough for Mickey's ears, chill enough for flip-flops
The Lobby Bar at Four Seasons Orlando is like Cinderella's carriage after midnight - it loses a bit of the magic, but you can still have a blast. It's not quite as fancy as the other restaurants at the Four Seasons, but it's way more relaxing than navigating the Disney crowds.
Think of it as a grown-up time-out, with fancy cocktails instead of Mickey Mouse ice cream bars (although, hey, no judgment if you sneak one in).
The food is tasty, but the real star is the people-watching. You'll see everything from families who accidentally wandered in from Magic Kingdom to couples on a romantic getaway. Just grab a seat, order a drink with a name longer than your vacation, and enjoy the show!

Really enjoyed my meal here, drinks were really good as well. Waiter was very nice and the staff seemed respectful. I ordered the least halal dishes you can find, the calamari and the shrimp. Both were delicious.
Nice food.
The food was really nice but the portions were a bit small, I did know that they were a mezze restaurant but for the price I thought they were a bit small for 4 people we paid about $80 - $90 for what was in the picture, so I wouldn't go here if you were really hungry, but the dishes were really nice nonetheless and they tasted really authentic.

My favorite Mexican place and on par with chipotle. What I like the most here is the veg gumbo. Spicy and flavorful curry in a hard shell beats all others for its uniqueness. Usually very crowded and dine-in can be challenging during peak lunch and dinner time.
Takeouts are common here. I personally prefer to dine in and the food feels fresh and stays consistent.

Cool atmosphere, good service, and great food! The place was pretty busy as expected for a Friday night, but we were able to get a table for a party of 7 in just a few minutes. Has a family-friendly, laid-back atmosphere, and is very clean. We were seated upstairs with a great view, and every single thing we ordered from the menu was phenomenal! Definitely give them a try!
Sitting by the pool, sipping a drink, and enjoying a meal is a great way to lunch. Our experience would have been better if we had better service. The food was good, so that's all that matters.
Bowling prices are on large with how much it is time bowl at the very old alley by us at home., but this place is clean, nice and very fun. Food was great and can't beat the atmosphere. I will absolutely come back and bowl here again next time I'm up in Orlando.
This was our favorite restaurant in the entire park. You get a fantastic view of the lake and there was no wait time. They had some of the most flavorful hummus that I've ever eaten as it didn't have that chickpea taste. The service was great and they provided excellent recommendations. The Sampler, Spiced Chicken and Naan Spread were all delicious. Skip the traditional hot dogs and pizza and check this place out when you visit.
Good location by the lake. Nice decor. Got a table for 4 after a 20 minute wait.
Hummus fries - good, 4 sticks quantity
Hummus platter - decent quantity, good taste
Crispy cauliflower - very raw taste, wouldn't recommend
Place is not worth the hype overall.
The meat is not halal.

Wonderful view from the second floor. I had not been up there before sitting here. You can just watch the decor and hustle and bustle below. Drinks are great, but around $15 for your craft cocktails. I recommend the bees' knees. Food is okay, but it is better than other restaurants in Disney Springs. We didn't get to bowl, but I was excited to come again to do so. I do like the outside bar area and they have live music out there. I don't know the schedule, but at least Thursday-saturday. The bathrooms are large and very clean.
We are originally from Chicago. We arrived and were seated pretty quick. The menu has a wide variety of foods. Food was actually really good. The service was ok... We had to use chop sticks because of the shortage of silverware. I had to take it upon myself to ask a manager after we were almost finished with our plates. He came over in less than a minute with spoons and forks. I let him know it was not ok for us to struggle using chop sticks, and all he did was apologize and walk away. My son noticed how down one of the staff was and made a comment to me. He said "It looks like that person hates their life" I told him to ask and he was too shy, so I asked "from 1 to ten, how much do you love this job" they said "I Fuc... hate this place. They treat us like shhhh. I rate it a 0" their words exactly. I have no animosity or am looking for retaliation for the service provided to us. I am really giving an honest review. I would go back only because of the food and I'm sure the utensil situation was not an everyday thing unless you hear the same story from other customerS. Good luck to the employees there and If the manager that worked Dec. 3rd at about 7pm didn't offer us a discount and just an apology I can assume that he is part of the staffs 0 rating problem.
Fun experience with good food. It's a small plate restaurant so make sure you order a few things. All of the dishes we had were great but dessert was definitely the best!
Saw a sign that bragged the “creamiest” piña colada and had to try! This place has a nice walk up bar outside. Definitely recommend this as a stop for anyone doing a bar crawl at disney springs. Was also surprised the drink came with a reusable cup that can double as a souvenir for the day!
Great service and worked hard to accommodate a large group. The menu had something for everyone and the food was perfect. Staff very attentive. Would definitely go there again
This is by far the best food I've had at the Swan/Dolphin resort, as many other places have been a disappointment with quality, flavor and service. The flavor and quality of food was great, the service by Mary was outstanding and the ambiance at night was delightful. We ordered the Caesar Salad w/chicken and Margherita flatbread and they both far exceeded our expectations. The chicken was seasoned very well and it was cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed the Caesar dressing very much. I highly recommend dining here during your stay, this will definitely be our go to for the remainder of our time here.
I will cut to the chase and advise everyone that the story has a not so happy ending… Being that the Dolphin is my go to hotel when I am visiting the area, the Cabana Bar has always been a good place to visit for “beach drinks” and good eats by the pool. The menu had delicious octopus (gone), delicious steak tips (gone) and other goodies that were pulled from the menu like the infamous dodo bird from the island of Mauritius. The new menu is much smaller and caters to fried foods -which to me, takes the yum out of yummy.
This restaurant at Epcot is very well staffed, had delicious food and he's a sit-down service restaurant. The food was very authentic it did not disappoint!! Ordered several small appetizers for two people and it filled us up! The appetizer with a combo of different things was the best! Here are the pictures showing the authenticity an excellent presentation! The food was very tasty and delicious! Would definitely eat here again! Make reservations early though because they go fast! Use the app to make them early in the day!
As always, it is a very lovely place. The people I interacted with were friendly and nice and polite and helpful. When I ask where I can find certain things. The restaurants and shops were very clean and well kept in a proper Disney manner.
Attention!! very cheap service and greedy people working here. portions are definitely kids size. not sure how they are standing as a QDOBA ?? The guy looks at you like he wants you to pay for one extra spoon or straw. The lady who prepared our order was trying to save each penny out of the food, so, even the kids sized bowl was half empty and I was paying the full charges. NEVER AGAIN !!!
Great way to extend the Disney experience without a ticket. Great selections of restaurants and shops. Popular, so expect crowds and waits for dining. Fun, active vibe that is family-friendly. Good combination of paid and free entertainment. Google thinks this is a hotel; it's not. It's a lifestyle center.
There is some great stuff to do here like walking, enjoying the views and shopping. Only thing that I can say is an eye sore is construction. It’s ALWAYS going on. There not been a time without some store being in the works and with plenty of empty stores I’m sure it will continue to have more construction.
Other than that Disney springs is a little magic place. They do have transport to and from the parks as well as the resorts.

Great shopping, live music and yummy food. We spent the entire day at Disney springs and our four year old daughter loved the Lego section. They had live figurines and even a play spot for kids. The ice cream was amazing around Disney. Springs in the shopping was even better. They also have cars that you can rent that actually go in the water. There’s also a hot air balloon that’s really cool and even a bowling alley and movie theater. The only character that we saw there was a Coca-Cola polar bear and that was a very cool experience. Make sure you go to the rooftop of Coca-Cola. We took the bus from our Disney resort here and it was so convenient. We didn’t even have to worry about parking.
Great place to just go on a walk and grab a bite to eat. Lots of shops and and fun things to do. The boat car is a very neat and unique experience. Doesn't cost any money for entry either
Free parking free entrance. Excellent places to dine and socialize. Lots of entertainment going on in various locations when you walk throughout Disney Springs. Lots of specialty stores. Good place for kids but very Limited kids rides. More geared for adults. Kids will still enjoy every minute of it.
A Chipotle alternative, this place is offers delicious food and plenty of options. In tourist central, Qdoba is a great choice both food and price wise. Would’ve given it 5 stars if the portions were a little larger and if I didn’t have to ask the woman to give me a little more of each item (she literally put four shreds of the shredded lettuce and about 6 beans, etc.).
We managed to book the fireworks package the same morning (it had been showing an error trying to book for days), and I'm so glad we did!
The food was great and certainly enough to be full (but not overfull as we've had with a lot of places), our server Beny was outstanding and kept our glasses full for the duration of our time at the table and helped us shift our chairs for the best view during the fireworks. He was also very happy to accommodate a vegan dessert, which wasn't on the set menu.
We will recommend to everyone going to EPCOT, especially in an all adult group, as the unlimited drinks alone will make the price worth it.

Great outdoors for shopping and dining with lots of fun to see and enjoy the atmosphere in Family. Be aware of weekends' large crowds if you're not used to getting bumped off accidentally stopped behind a heel with a stroller wheel. Go earlier in the day. Live music shows and activities for the kids.
Worth the visit. So many shops to visit and different restaurants to try. Plenty of parking. It's a big place so expect a lot of walking if you want to check out everything, just make sure you wear comfy shoes. Highly recommended place to visit and I love to go back here. This is a great place for shopping and eating and to enjoy great view.
Good places to visit with family and kids. Free and easily accessible parking. It has everything: good restaurants, dine in theatre, gift shops, perfectly themed shops, a magical and festive atmosphere, musical performances to watch, and breathtaking decorations. There is also a hot air balloon ride. And the spring which was very beautiful.
Always nice people, great food, clean and comfortable atmosphere! Se habla español también!
We came in early, almost 15 minutes after they opened. We were sat almost immediately with no reservation. Safe to say that this experience was the best we had at Disney springs. The staff was awesome. To greeting us, explaining how things work, walking us to our lane, taking our order and creating an overall good time. Other reviews were not kidding when they said that the food is AMAZING and worth it. The booths and tables were very spacious. Bathrooms were roomy and clean. I’m still in shock at how great everything was. I’ll make a trip back to Orlando, just for Splitsville. 100/10 recommend.
Absolutely brilliant!! Has changed a lot over recent years but only for the better. Great shops, restaurants and activities. Easy parking in the multi storey right next to the site. Would definitely recommend a visit!!
We visited Disney Springs and had a great time! My kiddos enjoyed the shopping centers and most of all the Disney store. We personalized our M&Ms and bought shirts from the store that fit each person’s character of an M&M! The food trucks are delicious as well. My kiddos got to go high in the air blimp. Recommend going right before the sun goes down because everything lights up.
We went to see the Cirque show which was of course, top notch . Great venue. The rest of it is another giant mall with food. Not very interesting . Not even close to the energy and vibe of City Walk. But we had a good time so it's worth a visit. Absolutely no cover from sun or rain , so good luck on sunny or rainy days. Poutine booth was killer. Cocktail , hardly any liquor. Cupcake shop were top notch . The branded clothes in stores all looked pretty fun of the mill to me. No real quality clothes or nothing even all that imaginative . Disney is true to word. They are milking Star Wars for every cent and it shows. Universal themed candy,
Clothing and food shops all tend to be way above excellent. Nothing here seems like they put that much effort into it. But maybe it doesn't have to be for their customers . I visited here once and that's enough for me.

Did he pranks is a good place to go to? He has some attractions. Have restaurants. Lots of stores to buy different items for all. Had fun with the family for a few hours while we walked around the different stores before having Italian food for lunch. Looking forward to going back.
Drinks were okay, and food was slightly above average. There are much better dining options in this hotel, but for a quick snack, it is fine.
Used to come here a lot for lunch while at work after I left that job I stopped and forgot it . Got a 5$ off coupon via T-Mobile and came back...
An excellent experience! the staff is nice the line was clean the floors and bathrooms are clean too. Food was perfectly cooked and fresh ingredients.
We found our replacement to the other places we used to love starting with M. We were left with no real quick texmex...
Thanks to the staff here for a great job done see you soon!

Definitely worth the visit! Great place for shopping and lots of places to eat! Make sure you walk around the whole place to explore the different stores and restaurants! Plenty of parking, I think Lime garage is the best one. Most of the hotels around the area offers free shuttle rides. So, its always good to check before booking your hotel!
Just enjoy and have fun! Kid friendly!

A great pre-dinner spot.
Our group of teens, college students, parents, and Grandma had dinner and bowled for 1 hr and 45 minutes. We also had dinner on the first floor. We found the food to be surprisingly good with quite a bit of variety. Definitely better than “bowling alley food” we have had before. We also found the staff to be kind, attentive, but not “too” present. It made for a great night of family fun. It was a bit expensive but, hey, we are at Disney!
Our absolute favorite restaurant in all of Epcot! The service is impeccable thanks to Nabil and Moe. They were awesome! The food is delicious and extremely flavorful. We came with our four children and they loved the food and the entire staff was very friendly.
I will say that they have changed the menu to small plates and we really miss the old menu! But the new menu was still very good.

The basil lemonade jar was a delightfully sweet alcoholic treat. The flatbread tasted amazing and the chicken was hot and crispy. We enjoyed eating at the bar and also ordered drinks and snacks to our chairs by the pool. Service is top notch but on the slower side.
All four of us were impressed with our entrees and all would order again. Buffalo chicken wrap with crazy good onion rings, burger, tuna poke, fish tacos. Would like to take waitress with us... Moriah is an asset here. Great view by the pool.
Favorite restaurant, this specific location by Disney. The staff are what makes this place better than other Qdobas, especially the two ladies who work here and the cooks. The food tastes super authentic, flavorful and fresh, the portions are always generous. I can never eat at chipotle or Moe's anymore because this place is much better. Nice decor, good prices. But really it's the staff that makes this place better than the rest. I'm a regular customer now and didn't notice
Smoothest margaritas I ever had also enjoyed the salmon dessert 🍰 sushi appetizers etc pretty much everything
Staff helpful and very nice. The food was amazing .
We got the buttermilk buttered chicken crisps with fries, and the grilled chicken BLT ($16 each). Service was slow but the food was good. Large portion sizes.
Excellent spot to kick back and relax after a day in the park. Shout out to a couple of the bartenders from the local area where we live. Had a blast, drinks and food delivered to your seat. 5 (?) different pools to sit in. Can't beat this spot, especially later in the day when you need to cool off and relax.
This is probably my favourite restaurant on site. It has a lovely terrace and amazing food. The vibe is relaxed and the servers are wonderful. Our server the first night was entering a zero-proof mixology competition and made my non-drinking husband a great drink! We ate here a few times and every experience was lovely. I strongly suggest the brick chicken (I could eat that every day) and the popcorn ice cream sundae!
I started with the sweet chili chicken wings. They were freshly prepared with a delightful taste. Soda comes by the Can however they do bring out nice glasses with ice. They have a nice bar with everything you can imagine to make fancy drinks. And we had the chicken noodle soup which I would regard as bland. We also had the chicken quesadilla, good. I also had the Miso glazed fish, which was swordfish. It was mild and the miso glaze was fantastic. It was garnished with Bok Chou and mushrooms. Although they were said to be garlic and ginger flavored, they were not extravagant. They tasted simply steamed. Miso glaze was so exceptional that I’d request an extra side of it and definitely will get it again. Service is great here. I’d repeat.
This was my first time eating Qdoba. Went with my friend who has Celiacs diseases (gluten free menu ftw) I didn't know all the toppings were included which makes it more bang for your buck compared to other popular chains. I ordered a salad with vegan impossible meat and was very satisfied. Both The jalapeno and habanero sauces were divine and staff was friendly. I wish this was closer to me, as I'll def return.
Very good customer service, drinks and appetizers.
Love Qdoba. Wish there were more locations in Florida. We always try to stop in and eat here when we are in the area. Staff are friendly, food is great and place is clean. I love the burrito bowls. This location also has an outdoor patio with umbrellas for shade.
