Cheesy Yuca Bites
Dennis T.

We started our vacation at Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek, and while waiting we went Escudo's Bar & Grill. Even before walking in we were greeted by Chad, the manager and Bradley one of the cooks. They were so friendly that we just had to go to go in for a drink and a bite to eat. The entire resort is so beautiful and Escudo's was no difference, great view of resort. We both had their Bonnet Punch drink (see menu) they were a great way to kick off our vacation. We also got food, we experienced a new appetizer Cheesy Yuca Bites, and OMG they were awesome! Followed by Barbacoa Fajita Bowel which went great with the appetizer. The service would say was one of the best team at a bar & grill I have seen! Shout out to Marcel, Matt, and Fernando, great conversations. I am sure we will be going back while we are here.

Empanadas
Aubrie H.

Located at one of the pools at the Wyndham Grand we stopped here for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised at all the options. Lots of signature cocktails, which were well made, some local beers and good food. Everything our table ordered we enjoyed and the service was good as well.

This restaurant is located within the Wyndham Bonnet Creek resort, where we were staying. It was a mixed bag for us. The prices are a little steep, but what pissed me off the most was the automatic gratuity slapped on your bill, as with nearly every place at this resort. That is suppose to be for the customer to decide, based upon the quality of service. We purchased some dinner here and I selected the Bacon Beast Burger. This burger was well made, phat and tasted fantastic. On another day we purchased some breakfast; which was nothing special about the eggs, bacon and sausage, while the pancakes were terribly made and for the most part went uneaten. We also stopped here a couple of times for way overpriced cocktails and beers. One time we were served fairly quickly and another time we walked away from the bar after not being acknowledged for 10 minutes. So be it...

"Loaded Nachos" (corn tortilla chips topped with queso, black bean & corn pico de gallo, tomatoes, sour cream, cotija cheese & cilantro)
Matthew L.

One day for lunch, we decided to stop at Escudos Restaurante Y Barra: a Mexican-themed restaurant and bar located by one of the pools. Some cocktails sounded good and the ones we ordered included "Mango Sunrise" (Altos tequila and mango puree with a drizzle of strawberry puree), the "Strawberry Daiquiri" (frozen blend of Big Storm silver rum and strawberry) and the "Shark Bite" (Bacardi Superior, Captain Morgan, blue curaçao, house sour mix, splash of lemon lime soda and grenadine"). For food, I had the "Tripletta Quesadilla" (flour tortilla filled with cheese, shredded beef, pulled pork, bacon crumbles and buzz sauce), my wife had the "Fiesta Chicken Quesadilla" (flour tortilla filled with cheese, seasoned chicken breast, black bean & corn pico de gallo), her sister had the "Spicy Chicken Sandwich" (crispy chicken tenders topped with pepper jack cheese, avocado, bacon & jalapeño ranch on a challah bun), our older son had the "Kids Cheese Quesadilla", and we ordered a plate of "Loaded Nachos" (corn tortilla chips topped with queso, black bean & corn pico de gallo, tomatoes, sour cream, cotija cheese & cilantro) for the table. We all had a nice experience! It was nice to enjoy a little fiesta lunch by the poolside!

Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Abbe W.

My daughter and I came here for breakfast during one of the days when we stayed with Wyndham. My Captain's breakfast was pretty good, especially when I substituted for the French Toast. The bacon was a little burned however. My daughter had the chocolate chip pancakes. She wanted the waffle but they were out of it when we dined there. However, the size of the pancakes was very impressive but I feel they were too dry so it's hard to keep them today and as you cut through the pancake, it falls apart quickly. It definitely needs a lot of butter and syrup to hold it together and make it moist. The location is near the lazy river so you'll see some of the folks floating along the lazy river.

They have outside seating only, at least there are some umbrellas to protect from the sun. Menu options are basic and simple. Brandon is waiting on us today. He's attentive, direct and on it. They do add $15 gratuity to the bill, it states so on the menu. Ordered the chip and dip to start, also asked for 2 spicy chicken wraps ilo of the chicken wrap, which is breaded with side salads with the vinaigrette dressing. I missed that the spicy chicken sandwich comes with bacon. The chips and guacamole were so-so, the guacamole is not fresh and the chips are not either. The first chicken wrap sandwich for my husband, the meat was really dry and tasteless. Brandon had them make me a spicy chicken wrap minus the bacon. My spicy chicken wrap was creamy, bit spicy at all. Our waiter was fantastic. Food was okay.

Buckets of boooze

Great food poolside. I had shrimp tacos. Although the order only came with two tacos, it was very filling. Tacos had excellent flavor. My cousin ordered a chicken wrap with fries. Safe to say she enjoyed it. My cousin's husband ordered chicken quesadilla. I tried some and it was very tasty. It had a nice spice element, but it wasn't overwhelming. Later in the day I ordered chips and dips (guac and queso) for a snack for myself and group. Safe to say we devoured it. Guac and queso were both fresh and delish. Chips were good also. Now the buckets of booze. Oh my goodness. Who doesn't want a bucket...a bucket of booze?? I don't remember what the drink was called, but it tasted like a pink starburst! It was super yummy! And it came with a bamboo straw! SAVE THE TURTLES! Credit cards only right now. Cash is not currently accepted.

Arrived at the resort before rooms were ready and decided to explore the area and find someplace to watch the World Cup. This was a great spot to land and though they were changing over from breakfast to lunch, they invited us to have a seat and wait for the lunch hour to order. Drinks were a bit weak...a lot of ice and very little booze. The food was a bit overpriced but it's a resort so it's expected. The empanadas were delish! Perfect crust! Word of warning: there are olives in the meat filling. My husband loves empanadas and hates olives - he didn't even notice until I pointed it out. Our table had street tacos, quesadillas, and wings. Overall - food was fine. Service was fine. Drinks were weak. Atmosphere was gorgeous. World Cup was a blast.

Beef empanada appetizer-could easily be a filling entree as the empanadas are huge!!!
Janet W.

The beef empanadas were huge and delicious! It came with three large empanada packed with ground beef. Even my mom who says she does not typically eat Mexican food said it was delicious!

Buffalo wrap!

The restaurant from his resort has a small menu bad very tasty! I was impressed with great flavor and the wrap and the Greek salad w steak ! The service was great and welcoming ! Keep up the good tasting food!

Escudos is a very convenient pool-side Mexican bar and grill. We ate there a few times while staying at Club Wyndham. The first time was for dinner, and my husband got a veggie burrito, and I got a veggie bowl. There was nothing extremely special about either of them, but they both tasted fresh! We also both got beer which turned out to be pretty expensive, but I understand resort prices. However, the best experience was from the server named Chris. He has never met a stranger and you can tell that he really loves his job and life in general! Another time we went there for lunch after spending the morning by the pool. You can definitely get food and drinks to-go, which we saw many people doing. One time I even witnessed a customer bring the food back (wrong order), and then saw the server get the right order and personally walk it out to them pool side. I thought that was a really nice touch! We got the same food as before since those were the only vegetarian options, but this time we opted for mudslides because hello, they looked delicious (and they were). Chris wasn't working this time, but all the staff is extremely nice and prompt. It was our favorite place to eat at the resort!

I found myself at Enzo's Hideaway for an after dinner drink with one of my friends. Disney Springs…read morehas several bars, and since we were looking for more of a speakeasy type place, Hideaway spoke to us. That being said, we made our way over. Enzo's Hideaway is the speakeasy for Maria & Enzo's, an Italian restaurant in Disney Springs. The entrance is somewhat inconspicuous - through a door underneath the restaurant which takes you down a hall into the bar. The decor definitely gives you the feel of being underground - with exposed fixtures and an overall industrial aesthetic. The bar is also a decent size - bigger than a traditional speakeasy but it's Disney so they need to account for some volume. They had some food items, but we only opted for a round of drinks since we wanted to move on. I decided on the key lime daquiri which was quite good. The key lime flavor wasn't too overpowering, and the ingredients works really well with each other. Service was good - the bartender was friendly and even cracked a couple of jokes with us. Overall, I had a good experience at Enzo's Hideaway. I only got a small sample of their offerings, so I would definitely be open to returning to explore more of the menu.

The pastas were absolutely delicious and, surprisingly, not overly expensive for a restaurant at Disney Springs. The restaurant really makes you feel like you're dining in a secret little hideaway, which fits the name perfectly! It also gave me some Italian vibes or maybe I just felt that way because I was enjoying a plate of pasta. Definitely a fun spot to check out if you're at Disney Springs!

As you enter the hotel, the bar is to your right and as you walk down the hallway, you turn to the left by the staircase, and you are there. It's a nice, small bar with additional tables and chairs on the balcony. On the Sunday evening that we went, there was no waitress to take your order. You selected the menu from the bar area and then placed your order with the bartender. We ordered the Askur Gimlet ($19.50) and the Sparkling Hibiscus ($18.50) cocktails. My friend enjoyed her gimlet, and my hibiscus drink was nice, but a little sweet for me. The hibiscus flower in the glass was edible, which was cool to experience. Overall, nice place for a cocktail, but the prices are high and the drinks were not that strong. I know this is a Disney resort and you pay extra for the environment, but I expected a little more for $20+ drinks (with tax and tip) and minimal service. However, it's a quaint spot to stop in for the experience.

Service was great throughout my visit, and the staff were attentive. The Susuru Gohan was fantastic and definitely my favorite dish of the night. It comes with a soy-cured organic raw egg yolk, sweet aged soy, onion, Japanese seasoning, and steamed rice. I added both uni and ikura, and everything paired really well together. I would absolutely order this again! Their drinks and cocktail menu is very extensive and I chose the Ultraman drink, which was great. It's made with Haku vodka, lime juice, cinnamon chai syrup, grenadine, cran-apple, and ginger beer, topped with a dehydrated apple and normally a limited mini Ultraman toy. They were out of the toy when I went, so they offered a $2 discount, which I didn't mind at all. For yakitori, I tried the Hiza Nankotsu (knee cartilage). Their skewers are prepared in-house and grilled over Japanese binchōtan charcoal, then finished with aged tare and served with Susuru citrus salt. The knee cartilage was good and had a nice crunchy texture. I also tried the Mi-So-Hot ramen which comes with pork chashu, a shoyu soft-boiled egg, corn, scallions, chili hair, and spicy miso broth. It was just okay for me. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with it, but nothing really stood out either. With so many other options on the menu, I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Susuru! The attentive service made solo dining at the bar comfortable, and the Susuru Gohan was easily the highlight of my meal. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Food was mid and absolutely not worth the wait. I came on a Saturday night at 8pm and was told…read morethere would be an hour wait. I fell asleep waiting in my car after an hour goes by and went inside to check because I saw empty tables from the outside and had heard from the hostess. I told her that I had been waiting for over an hour and she said that there was about 4 parties in front of me. I went back outside to wait for less than 5 min and she called me in saying the table had cancelled so my table is now available. That was already a red flag - she totally forgot about me!!! After being seated, the waiter took literally 15min to even come acknowledge us because he was too busy talking to his friends at the next table. Tonkotsu black ramen - 3/5 (not flavorful) Miso-hot ramen - 3/5 (bland and not creamy) Tan tan men ramen - 3/5 (the flavors were there but the noodles were super soggy) Tempura king oyster mushroom - 2/5 (bland, thick and hard to chew. they should've cut it into thinner pieces) Karaage - 3/5 (flavorful but chucks were too big and had too much batter) Inner thighs yakitori - 5/5

** Disclaimer: this review is for drinks at the bar only…read more My friend and I were having an after dinner drink at Enzo's Hideaway, when he noticed that the speakeasy had a connection over to The Edison without having to go outside and enter the restaurant from the front. Since we wanted to have one more round before drawing the evening to a close, we decided to move over here for our last drink. That being said, we packed it up and made the short walk over. I've always heard about The Edison as a popular spot in Disney Springs, but am yet to dine there myself. When we arrived, it was pretty much wrapping up and there were only a few patrons at the bar. From what I can see, it's a large space with seating on two floors; we were on the lower level which housed the bar. The restaurant is marketed to have a 1920s theme, but I honestly didn't notice to see how true that was. We had one round, and I decided on The Dame'll Sting Ya. This contained gin, ginger liqueur, honey, lemon juice, cranberry juice, and a garnish of honeycomb. Despite the ingredients, the drink wasn't overly sweet. Service was good - the bartenders were very friendly, and overall I had a good, albeit abbreviated, experience at The Edison. This place had never been on my radar before, but my interest has been piqued and I would consider returning here to check out more of their drinks and their food menu.

I usually visit for dinner, but this was my first time dining for brunch/lunch. The food was great as always, I got the TOMATO SOUP & GRILLED CHEESE, but the service left a lot to be desired. Due to a wait for a table for two, we sat at the bar to order quicker and have the rest of the day to explore Disney Springs. The bar was packed, so we were guided to a tiny table near a support beam, which was fine since we planned to just eat and go- not hang out. When going to order at the bar though, we stood for a while with no one coming up to us. When a spot opened at the bar, we moved there and still waited a long time for anyone to come over. Even the couple next to us got worried that we were all forgotten about! Bartenders came by but no one stopped at either of us. There were also dirty cups and napkins sitting in front of us for a while and when a bartender did finally come up to us- they asked if we were done! I was shocked that they didn't even realize we were new to sit. Once we were finally served, food and drinks came to us in decent time. The server that ended up tending to us was very nice and did apologize, so I felt bad, but I feel like the over all problem was staffing the bar! Two women running the entire bar when every seat was taken, which not only involved them serving the people sitting, but also making drinks for the people at the tables. I still tipped well regardless, because I understand the stress, but to the Edison please staff better! If not, then I recommend if you choose to eat here, just have a lot of time to spare if you go to sit at the bar. Don't come in hungry because it may be almost a half hour before you even place an order. On a side note- I was devastated to see they got rid of the dip trio appetizer!! This was the best thing on the menu and I am so sad to see it gone!! Please bring her back!
