Salmon and broccoli
Jessica S.

I went here on vacation with my family and luckily checked out the website beforehand so that we could join the waitlist before hand versus waiting until we got there. Even with the waitlist, there was a 15 minute wait. We were seated promptly when we got to the top of the waitlist but the hostess didn't give us cutlery. Our waiter greeted us after awhile and asked what we wanted to drink and got our orders to us after around 5-10 minutes. Well then we waited around another 10-15 for him to come back to take our orders. I asked for a water and he never brought one to our table. My bf ordered cheese curds which were just meh. Not enough seasoning and we're not hot enough to have a cheese pull in my opinion. When we finally got our food after another 10-15 mins my order was wrong, as well as, my boyfriend's son. The woman who brought the food to our table, not the waiter, said that she would get our orders corrected to what we actually ordered. She did come back and had a loaded potato for my boyfriend's son that only had cheese on it now bacon sour cream etc. my dish was again incorrect and the waiter who brought the food this time said he would get it taken care of, however after waiting another 5 minutes no one came back with my meal, so my bf saw the woman who helped us earlier and she told me she would check on the order and my bf asked to speak with the manager. The manager did come back with the correct food and offered to comp some items. But honestly by that time, I really just wanted to go. The salmon I got was average and so were the shrimp. The cheese fries barely had any cheese on them. I was expecting more being that this place was packed but it was really disappointing and I would not recommend going here.

Honey Butter Croissants

I don't usually write negative reviews, but this experience deserved one. This was, without question, one of the worst restaurants I've eaten at in a long time. I'm honestly surprised it's still in business. If I could give it a zero, I would. The food was terrible, the service was just as bad, and the overall dining experience was a complete disappointment. Save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else. Our family stopped here on vacation, and it was a huge mistake. We started with the cheese bites as an appetizer. As you can see from the picture, the portion was a complete rip-off. Not only was the serving size disappointing, but they also seemed undercooked. I ended up giving them all to my son because I didn't even want to eat them. For my entrée, I ordered the Smokehouse Burger. It's hard to ruin a burger, but they somehow managed it. The burger itself was overcooked, the bacon was undercooked, and the so-called sautéed onions were just raw onions. There was nothing sautéed about them. My son ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with a loaded baked potato. I wish I had taken pictures. The bread was toasted, but somehow the cheese inside wasn't even melted. I'm still not sure how that's possible. As for the "loaded" potato, it came with nothing more than cheese and sour cream. That's hardly loaded. My wife's meal was even worse. She had to send it back to the kitchen three different times before it was finally right. You honestly couldn't make this up. This was, without a doubt, one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. Consider this your warning--save your time, money, and appetite by eating somewhere else. More pictures to come.

This is how long I was waiting for someone to come on the line. Had to hang up and decided to write a review since no one came on the line.

This is my first time ordering takeout the delivery went ok, but the food didn't come complete, steak was over cooked, burger was missing cheese, we were also missing basic condiments ketchup mayo and ranch requested. I called to sort things out I was transferred to the order department and was on hold for over 25 min. They get a 2 star because the other orders were good. I can't say anything about the ambiance but just the service.

I was in the neighborhood for another event and decided to get some lunch here today. I am glad I did because it was a very good experience. My server, Michael, quickly came over and took my drink order. He also delivered a complimentary croissant with melted butter on it which was very good. The menu had a few lunch specials, including a Philly cheesesteak. I decided to order that and it tasted great. For my side I went with the broccoli cheese casserole. The price was very reasonable. Service was also quick.

My wife and I are on vacation here from California and we were amazed on how much good food there was to get. Well we over ordered of course, but the super highlights were these hot honey butter croissants. AMAZING!!!! Shout also to our waiter Darian G. Super on point and very helpful and friendly. The place was packed and he managed to make us a priority.

I have been to other locations and have had good experiences, this one, not so much. I got to the restaurant at 1130 and it was empty. I was sat at a full sized booth in this empty restaurant. While perusing the menu a person came up to me and told me to move to a 2 top small booth. I understand that when the restaurant is busy they need the room but I found it to be very rude and unnecessary. The table he sat me at was dirty. I ordered a bunless cheeseburger which was ok. I won't be back.

Excellent service. Food arrived hot and exactly as we anticipated. Restrooms was clean. No downfalls. Would recommend.

Trio
Stephanie F.

This is my first time eating here, and the food portions and prices are very nice! Compared to other appetizer trios, this one is the most affordable but also the most tasty. I loved the cheese fries and the chicken. It took a while for our drinks to arrive, but it was during the lunch rush. It was also slightly dark where we were eating, but later on, they brightened the lights.

Grilled Shrimp Alfredo
Delores B.

Great experience!!! We have been wanting to stop in and did so yesterday. The restaurant was very clean and inviting. The service was good, even though we went during non- peak dining hours. Next, the food choices were great and definitely a good place to go so everyone can pick exactly what they want. The restaurant does again offer complimentary croissants, which is great. Our food choices ended up being really good. I would highly recommend trying the onion rings. They are fresh and superior to any I have had. I will definitely go back.

I'm so mad at myself because the food was so good I honestly forgot to take pictures. By the time…read moreI thought about it, we were already eating, and there was no turning back. We visited Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' at Disney Springs, and this was definitely one of my favorite meals while in Orlando. We started with the White Peach Sangria, the Church Lady Deviled Eggs, and the Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp. Now those shrimp deserve their own moment. They're tossed in house-made hot honey and served with remoulade, and they were SO good. Sweet, a little heat, salty from the bacon... just a really good combination. For dinner, we shared Art's Famous Fried Chicken and the Meatloaf Main Plate. The fried chicken is buttermilk-brined for 24 hours and came with creamy mashed potatoes and a cheddar drop biscuit. The chicken was seasoned, juicy, crispy... exactly what fried chicken is supposed to be. And the meatloaf surprised me because I don't usually go somewhere like this thinking, "Let me order the meatloaf." But I'm glad we did. It came with mashed potatoes, Southern green beans, and that cheddar drop biscuit. Comfort food done RIGHT. Everything we had was good. Not "it was okay" good. I mean we were sitting there eating, sharing plates, and talking about how good everything was. And apparently it was good enough for me to completely forget I do food reviews and should probably take pictures first. Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' at Disney Springs... I'll definitely be back.

This place was an amazing spot to eat at in Disney Springs and had some of the best food I ate…read moreduring my trip in Florida. 4.5/5 We came pretty late to the establishment after a long day at the theme parks. We were staying at a Holiday Inn near Disney Springs so we decided to come here for a late dinner. One of the best decisions made here. We did a late night walk through the shopping center and landed here around 9:50 pm. It was pretty late and we worried there would be no seats but we were seated promptly. The establishment was very ambient, cozy, and well furnished. I liked the warm, glowing atmosphere of the restaurant. The server was extremely polite and took our order quite soon. We were starving after a long day but the food came out in around 20ish minutes which wasn't too bad. The serving sizes were quite huge. We didn't expect this much food for two portions. For $34 per plate, the dishes were large and came with a large helping of sides. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and juicy. They originally wanted to serve the food quickly/more fresh so they served a chicken thigh to me after on a second plate. They also forgot my substitution of Mac n cheese for mash potatoes so I got a free helping of mash which was sweet. The pickled cucumber was light and fresh which tasted great with the heavier chicken. The potatoes were a little heavy and I wish came with gravy, but still delicious. I really loved the Mac n cheese and finished that up. The chicken steak was also delicious with the grits but a little too salty. Wish they added the grits to the side for me to dip as it became a little too much at times. It was better to eat it with a side of potatoes to balance the flavor. The broccolini was sautéed perfectly and delicious, could eat a whole plate of those alone. The biscuits weren't bad but tasted better eaten with the potatoes. The food was a little heavy but so so good. We had to take half of the food to our hotel and ate it the next day for dinner as it was way too much food for one meal. Even after microwaving it, the food was just as delicious and flavorful. We spent about $80 but had so much food leftover. An expensive dinner, but everything tasted amazing. Would definitely come back if I had the chance.

It was literally bitter sweet, with the sweetness coming from the fruits, and the bitterness most likely from the liquor. It was still a good and refreshing drink. For the appetizer, I had to try their unique and popular pork belly s'mores. It looked like a dessert, but a sweet and savory dish. The pork belly was braised nicely and tender, with the marshmallow adding the sweetness. The homemade crackers were very nice, and the jalapeno added a nice kick. The main dish was the bourbon chicken. It was nicely tender and had a hint of sweetness from the bourbon. The rice went well with the chicken, and the broccolini was perfectly grilled. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream was a perfect end. Moist and delicious. It was getting full, so I was able to save some and enjoy at home too. The service was attentive with my bartender checking up with me occasionally. They were quite busy, but still friendly. The dining area looked dark and a bit more formal than last time I visited. But still social and relaxing. I didn't get to see the outdoor patio, but it looked nice from the inside. I parked at the UCF/Valencia garage, which was 3 dollars per hour. Sadly, they don't validate parking. I am so happy I ate at the Monroe for my last magical dining. It's been a while since I eaten there, but the food and drinks are still great. I must say the food was definitely high in calories, sugar, and fat, but it was well worth it. It's just that good in a very nice environment. Definitely will come again when I need southern comfort food! Overall: A
