Came to see if they could possibly get us in for dinner without a reservation and they were able to. We were seated at the bar which was fine we had Island punch cocktail forgot to take pic, app Mussels with grilled bread, entrees Salmon and Red Snapper. All the food was very good and the cocktail. Service was great and restaurant was very beautiful!
Flying Fish has been on my list of places to try for some time and we finally went! It's always busy, so reservations are recommended. Their bread and butter is truly exceptional. It's going to be difficult not to stuff the entire loaf of bread into your mouth, but try. We started with the mussels and they were extraordinary. The broth was perfect, especially if you dip the bread into it. I had their famous potato wrapped fish for my entree and enjoyed it. I was just so full by that time that I couldn't eat much. My husband enjoyed his scallops, but the portion was a tad smaller than expected. Service was excellent and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. I recommend grabbing a drink next door at Abracadabar while you wait.
Wow to everything. Service, ambiance and food. The service was super attentive. We did have a little mishap at one point which was observed by one of the waiters and they QUICKLY and EFFECTIVELY managed the situation with the best service recovery I have ever seen. We had a great dinner.
Elegant restaurant that charges the Disney premium, but the food is actually delicious. Service was fantastic and super friendly. The filet mignon was super tender and perfectly seasoned. The slow roasted pork belly BLT starter was flavorful. The inside of the restaurant is classy and it's a nice spot to slow down and enjoy a nice meal while still on Disney property. Even the utensils have a nod to the fish theme, how cute! With your dinner reservation you get a free 3-hour resort dining parking pass.
Our overall experience was very good; the only reason it loses one star is the final billing. Be CAREFUL if you split the check!! The recommended tipping schedule is based on the ENTIRE bill, not just your portion. I'll provide more on this at the end of the review. We arrived a little after 9pm after having a cocktail at the AbracadaBar. Flying Fish is one restaurant on one side of the bar with an Italian restaurant on the opposite side. Since we had eaten at the Italian side previously, we went with Flying Fish as we were both ready for seafood. We approached the hostess stand and stated we did not have a reservation. She asked if we would care to sit at the bar and we both said yes. We were led to our seats and greeted by the 5-star bartender, Daniel! He was the perfect bartender; he was pleasant, punctual and checked on us regularly. We had a great rapport with Daniel, and he added to our enjoyment of the evening. He made several suggestions (some of which we had already agreed on perusing the menu) and we placed our orders. We shared the appetizers as well as our entrees so that we could have a well-rounded tasting of the menu. We started with the Lobster Bisque ($19), which Daniel split into separate bowls for us based on my friend's request. It was tasty, but I don't think I found one piece of lobster in my bowl. We also shared the Steamed Mussels ($20) which included house-made sweet sausage in the pork broth and a delicious black garlic aioli on the side. We both agreed the mussels were quite small, but they were good. They were served with burnt toast which was not visually appealing. I took the charred one so that my friend could have the less burnt one. I'm surprised the kitchen allowed it to be presented that way, but it was the end of the evening. For our entrees, I chose the Plancha-seared Scallops ($54) with savory grits and sweet corn, and my friend had the Chilean Sea Bass ($54) with potatoes. The presentation of both was outstanding and the taste of each was phenomenal (we shared)! The Sea Bass was covered in a crispy fish skin on top of the filet that was translucent, and it had an interesting taste. I went with the recommended wine pairing of the Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay ($29) and my friend had the BIN 702 Rose ($21). The meal and the wine accompaniments were excellent! Which brings me back to the checks. We were having such a good time (Daniel even commented on our energy and was glad we sat at the bar), that we really didn't pay attention to the tip recommendations. We signed off on our bills and a few minutes later, I realized I gave over a 40 percent tip based on the tip recommendations! I pointed this out to my friend, and she did the same thing, too! She thanked me for catching it because hers was a business meal expense and she could have gotten in trouble for such a large tip. Daniel said we could just initial our changes, and he would take care of entering in the correct amounts. He apologized and said the computer system printout of the bills provides recommended tips on the total charge rather than individual split portions. Recommendation to the Flying Fish staff - this should be pointed out to the customer(s) when a split bill is provided or at least it should be highlighted on each split bill that the recommended tip is based on the total billing rather than your individual tab.
We had a great meal here for my friend's birthday. The atmosphere is beautiful. We started with the pork belly which was rich and delicious (Braised Greens, Crispy Cornbread, Cannellini Beans, Espellete-spiced Honey) . We then took the servers recommendation of the Char-crusted New York Strip which was fantastic. The cocktails were delicious and the service was perfect. It is definitely on the pricier side but the food and service delivers.
My husband had the lobster bisque and it was flavorful. We both had the potato covered snapper. This was salty but ok. For dessert cheesecake. It was small but delicious. The best was their bread and chive butter. Service was good. The ambience was great.
Have dined here twice now & you can't beat the ambiance or the food. Right on the Boardwalk, and the restaurant feels elevated without being stuffy (guests allowed to wear whatever they wore at the park). Food is spectacular with prices that reflect that. Great spot for special events and celebrations. Our server was great (wish I could remember his name right now, started with an A and he's been there 10+ years). A seasoned pro. I will say the one downside was we had a very poor experience with the hostess (name started with a Z) and I sincerely hope she is no longer employed with the company, such a poor reflection of Disney. When we arrived, another host was ready to seat us and the other rude hostess (Z) snatched the menus away and said the table wasn't ready. Mind you, so many tables were empty & they were not busy so I'm not sure why she created such a fuss in front of the guests. We did eventually get sat but such a poor way to start off a very expensive dining experience. I later told the manager on duty about this and he did not seem particularly surprised which leads me to believe this happens regularly, but he always wasn't particularly sympathetic, so I'm not sure he cared really. Overall, a good experience minus the interactions with that hostess.
The quest to try every Disney restaurant continues. Flying Fish is located at the Disney's Boardwalk Resort. If you are at EPCOT, you can leave through the south exit and walk to the resort in about 10-15 minutes. Or because I was tired, I took the boat and it is the first stop on the boat leaving EPCOT and it lets you off basically at the restaurant. The restaurant opens at 5pm and I did not have a reservation so I decided to show up right at 5pm. I walk in and asked if the bar is first come first serve and the hostesses say yes. I go and sit at the bar (I'm the first person in the entire restaurant) and the bartender tells me I need to go back to the hostess stand and have them seat me at the bar. I get up confused and halfway back to the hostess stand one of the hostesses is walking over with a menu and taking it to where I was sitting at the bar. I thought this is weird. And then, another minute goes by and another girl comes up to me and asks me if I asked the hostess if I was allowed to sit there. Hello make up your mind restaurant. Either this is open seating or it isn't. How many people need to check in and see if I'm allowed to eat here. Once again, I am literally the only person here. After getting that all cleared up, I then was given a bartender who might as well been Where's Waldo. She let my water sit empty 45 minutes at a time. Was no where to be seen, and had nothing to say other than what do I want? Service here is a 0/10, hence I removed a star. Now, onto the food: I sat next to these 2 guys that told me that had been coming to this restaurant for 20+ years and had seen multiple renovations. They were definitely telling the truth as half the restaurant staff came over to greet them. All 3 of us joked how much horrible the service was this night. They didn't eat meat, but said this was their favorite Disney seafood restaurant. I don't eat seafood, but they named all of my favorite Disney restaurants also as their favorites so I think we mostly agreed on quality food. The menu here is pretty small. For an appetizer I had the $19 slow-roasted pork belly. I thought it was excellent and would definitely order it again. Not a huge portion though. For my entrée there wasn't a whole lot to pick from since I don't eat seafood. I went with the $62 filet mignon. I was blown away. It was excellent. I was extra worried because I really like Bourbon Steak which is a quick walk away at Disney's Dolphin Hotel. I didn't try any cocktails here. The steak was on par with Le Cellier or Bourbon Steak. I will need to bring a seafood eater here to see their review. Very pretty restaurant.
I truly wanted to give Flying Fish high ratings, but can't in good conscience. The evening started strong. The atmosphere is refined and inviting, and our appetizers and initial dishes came out promptly. Everything felt promising. The issues began when we waited what felt like 45 minutes for our main entrées. By then, all of our earlier dishes were finished, and we were simply sitting there waiting. We understand that restaurants get busy, so we didn't make a fuss. When the entrées finally started coming out, only half the table was served. Our server mentioned something about ensuring we had finished our previous dishes before bringing out the mains, which was framed as the reason for the delay. Unfortunately, it felt more like an excuse than an explanation. Then we realized one dish was missing entirely. The server asked our friend to repeat his order and claimed he had misheard and had put in the wrong order. Our friend even offered to take whatever the kitchen already had in progress to avoid further delay, trying to be flexible and understanding. Still, it took another 15 to 20 minutes for his meal to arrive. Given the timeline, it strongly felt like the order hadn't been submitted at all and was only fired once the mistake was realized. For a premium-priced restaurant, the experience felt disorganized and full of avoidable missteps. We would have appreciated straightforward honesty. As for the food: my steak had good flavor but was tough to cut and chew. The lobster bisque was noticeably bitter. The standout for me was the scallops I ordered on the side. They were the best part of the meal. The only reason this is a two-star review instead of one is because they ultimately comped my friend's entrée after it took about an hour to arrive. Overall, the level of care and execution did not match the premium price point. Unfortunately, I would not recommend Flying Fish.
Mike had the NY Strip med rare and it was almost rare in places. We both really enjoy the Potato Gratin but we may request it without sea salt next time. The green beans were pretty al dente and not very flavorful. I didn't really care for the NY Strip when I ordered it previously, so I went with the Plancha-Seared Scallops. Excellent choice and I might choose the scallops next time, too. The Savory Grits were pretty tasty but had a Corn O'Brien vibe. Did not have dessert this time but you can't go wrong.
As a single I was able to walk right in and take a seat at the bar. I was acknowledged quickly and the service overall was very good. The Lobster Bisque was less than stellar - honestly one of the most disappointing lobster bisques I've ever had ..... just no umph. The Chilean Sea Bass over fork crushed potatoes on the other hand was excellent and went very well with the Chardonnay ..... this dish I would highly recommend.
BEST STEAK at Walt Disney World, in my opinion. I've eaten here 2~3 times, and the steak is the best. Quality food. I sat at a table, but I've also sat at the bar by myself and learned a lot about wine. Bread is good. I really enjoy watching them, real professionals there, always thinking.
Great ambience, elegant, classic and fine... the service was fantastic!! Can't expect more from our friendly server. Great job!! Food... way to go. For my personal taste, I found the mussels and lobster bisque too low in salt. Lack of flavor. The New York was really goods, well seasoned and healthy portion. The wrapped snapper, again lack of salt.. with a good flavor and a nice portion , it's their signature plate an original creation.. but something is missing.. Overall, recommended.. really nice restaurant read more

I got the New York Strip and it was cooked to perfection. The green beans were a little crunchy for me, but good overall. The potatoes were amazing, but I wish it was a bigger portion of them because they were so good! They started the service with bread and butter which was good, but basic. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was great for our group of seven. Casual dining with fine dining taste! One of the best restaurants in Disney that's actually worth the price. read more

Went here for dinner last night for my birthday. The whole experience was amazing. The restaurant is gorgeous to start. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress was so attentive and explained a lot on the menu. They are so accommodating to children as well. The main star was the food. I had the filet mignon with scallops added on and my husband had the NY Strip with a lobster tail. My daughter had pasta with butter, berries and asparagus. Such a wonderful place to celebrate an occasion. read more

Decorated nicely. Server was friendly and attentive. Started with the cheese plate. It was well rounded. Cheeses were good. It was a good value. Then I got the char crusted New York strip. I asked for medium rare and it was more medium but the flavor of the crust was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more
Came for dinner here after a day at Epcot. Highly recommend a reservation, we had to wait an hour to be seated. This seemed to be the standard though for most places, we checked several places before deciding to eat here. Restaurant had beautiful decor and the staff when seated was constantly checking to see if we were happy or had questions. Menu is quite small in my opinion and I found it a bit odd that there were no salad options. We ordered the shrimp cocktail and added scallops. The shrimp were cooked perfect and tasty. We had one perfectly cooked scallops and two that were under. We aren't normally people who comment on food but for the add on price of over $20 for three scallops we sent them back. For entrees we had the strip (which I somehow missed taking a photo) and the potato wrapped red snapper. The food came quickly and we were happy with the flavor/cook of both. The price tag was a bit high for what you got in my opinion but the food was good. read more

Three for dinner tonight. We all had the potato wrapped Red Snapper. As good as always. Only main dish ordered when we come. It's their signature dish. Also had the cheese plate. Five samples of cheeses. See photo for description. Excellent service and the restaurant looks fantastic. read more
My husband and I are on a very restricted diet so we each ordered the pan seared chicken for dinner and we loved it! The chicken was flavorful and it was a generous serving so we were both very full at the end. It came with chicken meatballs, cooked green onions that tasted sweet, and a romesco and vinegarette that we had to get on the side. The sourdough bread to start was also fresh and tasty. It was so good In fact we came back again during our trip because its been so difficult for us to find places to eat that have lean meats that aren't too oily, it was perfect and I'd highly recommend it. The inside was beautiful and romantic, and service both nights were attentive and friendly. I honestly wish I could have tried the filet because its probably delicious too. Maybe next time! read more

Ambiance: Charming and celebratory without being over the top. The perfect setting for an early anniversary dinner. Service: Fantastic! Our waiter was warm and attentive throughout. One thoughtful highlight: he brought us complimentary champagne alongside our bread, a lovely and unexpected touch that felt immediately festive. Appetizers: We shared the lobster bisque, and it was thoughtfully served in two individual, cute bowls. Perfect presentation and portioning for a couple. Rich, creamy, and flavorful, a great start to the evening. Entrées: Absolutely amazing. Every dish delivered on both taste and presentation. We were so full we didn't think dessert was going to happen. Incredible flavor and quality, exactly what you hope for on a special night. Drinks: The espresso martini was excellent. Smooth, well-balanced, and exactly what I wanted after such a rich meal. We'd happily recommend it to anyone finishing off a nice seafood dinner. Would we go back? Without a doubt. The combination of attentive service, standout food, celebratory touches, and excellent cocktails makes The Flying Fish a go-to for special occasions or anytime you want to feel a little spoiled. read more
I haven't been here in a LONG time but it was always a favorite. They have updated the interior and the menu since my last visit and I think both are even better. It's beautiful inside. Service was excellent. And all of our food was perfect. We even went for an interesting shared dessert and we loved that too. I would highly recommend this spot- esp if you like seafood. For Disney, this is a particularly nice restaurant and it wasn't totally loud and overrun. Worth every penny! read more
We had an absolutely phenomenal dinner at Flying Fish on Disney's BoardWalk. It was easily one of the best meals we've had at Walt Disney World, and honestly one of the best dining experiences anywhere. We started at the bar, where two fantastic bartenders worked together to provide top-tier service. They were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. It felt like they truly enjoyed helping guests, and they made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. They walked us through the wine list and recommended a glass of Argyle Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley. It was vibrant and smooth, with bright cherry and raspberry flavors and just a touch of spice and earthiness. It had a fresh, balanced quality that made it a perfect way to start the evening. For dinner, we ordered the salmon and added asparagus and scallops to the dish. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a crisp, golden crust and a tender, buttery center. The asparagus was fresh and just the right texture, and the scallops were an absolute highlight, seared beautifully with a sweet, delicate flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Every element on the plate worked together in harmony, and the flavors were rich without being heavy. To go with the meal, we switched to a glass of Château Batailley from Bordeaux. This was a showstopper. Deep and layered with notes of dark berries, cedar, and just a hint of tobacco, it had that classic Left Bank feel but with a smooth, modern polish. The tannins were structured but not overpowering, and the finish was long, clean, and elegant. It brought a really grounded richness to the table that played beautifully with the buttery salmon and the sweetness of the scallops. It felt luxurious without being too bold and was one of those wines that just gets better with every sip. Throughout the evening, the service was truly exceptional. Every cast member we encountered was warm, professional, and kind. The atmosphere felt elevated but still comfortable, and the team struck a perfect balance between attentiveness and relaxed hospitality. The two bartenders who took care of us were a standout -- they were fun, knowledgeable, and always seemed to be there at just the right moment. If you're looking for a special dinner at Disney that combines great food, excellent wine, and outstanding service, Flying Fish is it. We'll absolutely be back. Five stars all the way. read more
Fantastic food. The New York was fantastic. Loved the risotto. The bread and butter was fantastic. The Manhattan with the vanilla bean was great. The server could have been a little friendlier. He was a little stiff. He needed to relax and have some fun. read more

This restaurant provides class and beauty from start to finish. The table was ready at the time of our reservation although we were early so we went out to the boardwalk to wait and watched some jugglers performing. When they texted us and we returned, they remembered us and ushered us through the exquisite dining room to a lovely two top. The ceiling is adorned with glass balls and flying fish in a wave pattern and the colors of the walls are deep blue, giving a sense of being surrounded by water. The serving ware has handled slightly sculpted to give a sense of fish tails, with carved scales in them. Our server came immediately and provided the menus and cocktail lists. My husband ordered an old fashioned and I ordered a vanilla Manhattan. His old fashioned was perfect but I found the Manhattan too creamy and too strong. I think this was a "me-issue" rather than a problem with the drink. But I wish I'd ordered a glass of wine. We then had appetizers. He got a salad which he enjoyed and I ordered the hamachi, served raw. I love raw fish and it was excellent quality - extremely thinly sliced and so tender. However, I had not expected the black pepper flavor of the sauce it was on to be so pronounced. There was a strawberry verjus which I'd looked forward to but I felt the pepper overwhelmed the fruitiness and the fish. I also hadn't realized that verjus isn't just a fancy word (haha) but that it is a specific thing made from unripened grapes so it's more acidic. I'd expected something sweet and instead found it quite tangy and spiced. We both ordered the potato crusted red snapper with leeks. I'd never tasted anything quite like it before. Definitely a strong flavor of leeks but also of almost a cheesiness from the caramelization of the potatoes. The potatoes were crispy and delicious but unlike any potato dish I've had. And the fish was the moistest fish I've had, with a lovely flakiness that provided an excellent contrast to the crispy potato. Unfortunately, I found the dish very rich, which my belly didn't like so I couldn't eat all of it. My husband loved it and finished mine! We were too full for dessert but since we had anniversary pins, they gave us a free little chocolate dessert which was artistically displayed and just the perfect amount of sweetness read more

No Bang for your Buck. Don't pay for ambiance... Set the lobster soup in front of me in a 1/2 full bowl. I said, do you always serve this 1/2 full??? Filet overdone. Green beans and asparagus raw and inedible... Sea Bass very small portion... The potatoes underneath got a 10... Party of 6 adults and 2 infants for $700, we will not be back... read more

We had one of our best dinners to date at Flying Fish, and from start to finish, everything was exceptional. Our server, Stefano, was not only knowledgeable and kind, but genuinely elevated our experience. From the hosts to the staff, everyone made us feel welcomed and well cared for. We started with the lobster bisque, which we decided to share so I wouldn't get too full before the main course. Stefano took it upon himself to have it thoughtfully split into two bowls, and even though it was clearly a shared portion, the presentation didn't suffer--it was plated so elegantly that it felt just as special as if we'd each ordered our own. It also came out quickly, just like the rest of our meal. I ordered the Plancha-seared scallops, and they were cooked perfectly--tender, golden, and full of flavor. The dish was plated beautifully, and the combination of the creamy grits, sweet corn, and rich sauce was just incredible. Every element complemented the other in a way that felt refined but comforting. My husband went with the Char-seared New York Strip, which Stefano recommended over the filet mignon--his usual choice. He couldn't have been happier with the suggestion. The strip was executed beautifully, and the flavors were spot on. Compliments to the entire team--flawless service and unforgettable flavors. Everything was absolutely delicious--and the service was just as impressive. That was honestly one of the best meals we've had in a long time. And the service? Perfect. read more

My son and I had dinner here. The atmosphere was very comfortable and the service staff very friendly. The food was great. I'm all about lobster bisque and I could smell it the moment I walked in. Having said that I would grade their bisque a 6. It was a bit watery and not as creamy as I am used to. read more
#1 favorite restaurant in Disney World! Always start with a couple appetizers - seafood + veggie options. Seafood pasta can be made gluten free. Any grilled fish is fab. Forgot to take entree pics cus it was so tasty! And dessert variations also tasty with gluten free options! Get the French press coffee to cap off the night. The staff is great, feels like you're the only customer in the restaurant! read more

Service was absolutely horrible. We had a party of 7 with a reservation and our server appeared to be annoyed and angry at her job. This is what happens when gratuity is automatically added to a bill. Good service should only be rewarded. read more

Second time eating at the flying fish. The first time, I got the Scallops and adored them! This time, I got the potato wrapped red snapper and also adored it. Crispy and complex flavor profile. I do, however, think it's too salty. I was having a difficult time completing my meal because of this. Otherwise, great food, great service, and gorgeous decor! read more
Avoid the charred new york steak. I heard alot of good things about it so I came here for that. Big mistake. Their steak quality was sub-par, not juicy or tender and they charred it way too much to the point where it was basically burnt on the top layer (and I usually LOVE a charred steak). The au gratin potato was crispy outside and fluffy inside, nice but not a true, creamy au gratin that I am used to and LOVE so that was disappointing. I have a video review of this on YouTube Disneyworld Vacationer and twitter DVacationer if you are curious. The waiter came and asked how everything was and I was honest and said I didn't like the steak. He offered another dish or for it to be redone. So I got another dish... Potato wrapped snapper is the thing to get here! Really good. Crisp outside, fluffy inside like it was a thick seabass. No fishy smell or taste, wonderful creamy leek fondue and red sauce underneath. I really liked this dish but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for it. There was almost too much leeks in the sauce as you can tell in my picture but the sauce was still good. Glad I got this dish but still, california Grill is the best signature restaurant on property but this is much better than steakhouse 71 which is not a signature restaurant . And don't get me started on Narcoosees (yuck!) The ambiance is very nice inside but nothing spectacular like california grill. Wait staff was great too. Solid spot if you are in the area for dinner. read more
Last night my wife and I had Thanksgiving dinner at the Flying Fish, which is located at Disney's Boardwalk. This restaurant has been on our list for a while, to say we were excited would be an understatement. Upon arrival we checked in with the hostess, and then got seated immediately. The vibe can be described with one word, elegance. When you enter the dining area the first thing you'll notice, is the massive open kitchen and the culinary brigade. The decor is simply gorgeous, the chandeliers are works of art. Once seated our server Chelsea warmly greeted us. She gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. As we were looking it over Chelsea came back with potato and chive bread with butter with black cypress sea salt and parsley. I don't normally talk about the bread and butter during meal service... until Now. This was without a question the BEST I've ever had. The bread was nice and hot, the chive / potato combination is heavenly. When you spread the black cypress sea salt and parsley butter on the bread... nothing else can be said other than yum! Just outstanding. Ten minutes passes by and Chelsea returned and we were ready. For drinks my wife ordered an Expresso Martini and I ordered a Belvedere Dirty Martini. The drinks were made perfectly. For our entrees I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass( Jumbo Lump Crab, Grilled Asparagus, Tarragon, Ras el Hanout Brown Butter) This dish is the best I've ever had on Disney property so far. The Chilean Sea Bass was absolutely succulent and flaky. When you combine it with the crab...it is the delicious bite. The tarragon asparagus was crazy delicious. The asparagus was bright green and had a nice snap. The brown butter ties the entire dish together. My wife decided on the Char-crusted New York Strip(Mille-Feuille Potato Gratin, Haricot Vert, Béarnaise Sauce) She said this was the one of the best steak she has ever had. The strip was a perfect medium temp, the potato gratin was almost too pretty to eat... almost. Had a wonderful crust and maintained its creaminess. When I say this was one of our favorite meals, this is an understatement. It's was culinarily excellence.... I cannot wait to return to the Flying Fish. Thank you to Chelsea for being absolutely the best. Attentive, informative and funny. When we come back we definitely will as for you. Aces! read more
Of course everything in Disney is balls to the walls overpriced but I gotta admit.. it's because of the QUALITY. There was not a singular item I tasted during the week that was bad or even 'meh.' We had a lovely waitress, I believe April who took great care of us. We split the lobster bisque and the restaurant was amazing enough to split the portion into two bowls! Boo thang had the seafood trofie pasta and loved it. Looks small but had two portions out of it. I went light and had the pork belly which was fantastic- I only wish the outer skin was a bit more blistered and crispy. Finishing w the port wine flight was perfection and I'm def beginning to like port more and more. read more

As many others experienced and expressed, the restaurant has an elegant vibe. From the communication, table service and food presentation I would give them a five out of five stars. For the value of your money I'd give them a four out of five stars. The reason for this is due to the portion sizes of your main entree. We started with gluten free rolls. Although they took quite a while to get to our table, the bread was very warm and tasted good. A minor issue was that it was slightly chewy. Not something desired in gluten free baking, as it suggests that either the flour ratios are off or that too much 'gum' was used to balance the texture. To start, we had the lobster bisque, but was completely different from any other bisque I had ever had, meaning the bisque was more like thick bone broth with a strong taste of bovine. Again, not ideal but still tasted decent. My husband had the mussels with fennel, saffron and chili oil, we felt this dish was better compared to the lobster bisque. The mussels were cooked perfectly. We would recommend the mussels. Our main entrees were the sea bass with asparagus, it tasted excellent and was cooked perfectly. It came with crab on top sea bass, which was a nice addition. The dish tasted great, the only down side was the portion size of the fish. We've eaten all over the world at seafood restaurants and felt the portion size was a bit small comparatively. This was obvious when our server suggested we order a side with our entree, but she didn't clarify the actual reason why - that the portion was on the smaller aide. Lastly, dessert was delicious. They called it, "Christmas on a plate." It's called Roasted White Chocolate Bavarian Cream. It was quite good. Not too sweet or dense. The spiced caramel with the cranberry cherry reduction against the ginger cake was fantastic. I'd highly recommend it. Overall we did have an enjoyable experience, but felt the service was more geared from Disney employees and not necessarily seasoned waiters. There was an obvious bias towards pass holders compared to non-pass holders, so that put a damper on the experience. But for my gluten allergen, I will say they took it serious and accommodated without any issues. read more

Three of us had a reservation for 6:10 PM, we were sat right on time at a table in the rear of the restaurant. The staff is extremely nice and very helpful. Our waitress Adriana was an 11 out of a 1 to 10. The bread and the butter are delicious. We had one cocktail and one glass of wine that were good. Lobster bisque was more of a broth than a bisque. The seafood pasta was a little bit cold, the flavor was OK, and there was very little pasta. Our granddaughter enjoyed the mac & cheese and fruit but unfortunately she did not eat the chicken. The restaurant has a great vibe and if you're not interested in decent size portions, this might be a place for you. read more

Crazy overrated restaurant. Ambience 5/10. Nothing fancy about this place. Server was nice but very fake and rehearsed. This is no Michelin starred restaurant and I've been to many. Had the lobster bisque. Very pretentious dish in the manner served and had a fishy smell and taste. 1/10. Next up was the famous blackened ny strip with an addition of scallops. Scallops were ok..not fishy but decently cooked. The strip was definitely NOT a prime cut of beef. It was not tender and was between medium and medium rare. I ordered medium. It was very very very difficult to cut. I've eaten a lot of prime beef in my life and this was by far the toughest cut even for the worst of choice cuts. This was more on par with a select cut of beef.. The black crust was not a crust and could be wiped off with my finger. Pretty sure this was not the way a blackened crust is supposed to be. Ok so far we have a 2/10 meal which is overpriced for quality. Had one bite of the 17 layer potato which was crisp. Moved my bernaise sauce dish and low and behold I find a black hair imbedded in the potato. This could not be picked or slid out from under the potato. It was actually in one of the layers. -11/10. I notified our server who went on to say she was sorry and quickly took the dish away. Manager I assume showed up and stated she was sorry and asked if I wanted another dish or something else. Let me ask any reasonable person...would you want to eat something else after that experience? Manager went off and then silence..waiting...waiting...server returns and asks us if we have room for dessert...honestly? We politely declined. We got the bill and the steak had been removed. I didn't expect to get compensated but manager could have explained what the end result would be before leaving table. I guess this happens more often than not and the staff is used to having various hairs and other body parts in the food so much so that it's an accepted part of their business. Overall a poor dining experience and will never be back. I do not recommend. There are much nicer restaurants outside of the Disney system that are more reasonable with a better experience and better food. Don't be one of the sheeple. read more
Had a reservation, they seated us within 5 minutes of the target time. Our waitress (or am I supposed to say server) KATIE was incredibly personable, knowledgeable and very attentive. We even had a change to speak with Chef Diego - also very informative and friendly, really embodies the "Disney" spirit and way of doing things. The Slow-roasted Pork Belly, was good but a little bland. The Seafood Trofie Pasta on the other hand was absolutely delightful - lots of seafood, flavorful and well seasoned. Our cocktails were made we (and strong but not overpowering)....overall a very enjoyable meal - would definitely recommend. read more

We ordered the New York strip steak and the scallops, and both were absolutely delicious. The strip had a perfect char crust that was packed with flavor, and the scallops were cooked just right, served over savory grits that paired beautifully. Our server, Stephanie, made the night even better--she was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations not only for food but even for the park and other restaurants. On her suggestion, we tried the chocolate hazelnut bar for dessert, which was rich yet surprisingly light. Fantastic food and outstanding service!! :) read more

Flying fish is probably on mine and my husbands top 5 places to eat at Disney after our first visit. The service was top notch with great recommendations, and atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful, and the food is some of the best we've tried at Disney. This is a must eat restaurant at Disney. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back! read more
A M A Z I N G an Nate our waiter was amazing. We got in late. They couldn't find a reservation, but the manager was gracious enough to to give us a table right away. The food is simply amazing. Scallops are beautiful so were the steak and so was the Seabass I will definitely be coming back. read more
