There were six of us. Had lovely table and server. We had the Magic Dining the menu was good. We preferred the onion soup. Beef was excellent, salmon too plain. Tiramisu and chocolate cake were very good. Highly recommended.
Such a pretty restaurant in celebration. Definitely recommend sitting outside as it has the best views. I come back just for the Turkish eggs! It is seriously their best menu item.
Beautiful restaurant at the charming hotel in Celebration. My sister and I had strolled and shopped and just wanted to keep enjoying the lovely afternoon. We went in to check out the hotel lobby and discovered the beautiful restaurant with lakeside outdoor seating. Had a happy hour glass of wine and nice conversations with other guests. Would definitely return to try the food.
Very lovely restaurant. The staff are super friendly and very attentive. The food is very tasty and comes out fast. The restaurant is beautiful gives a very Florida vibe to it. And the hotel it's in is stunning.
Sat at the lobby bar after an event for work and really enjoyed the bartender, Carlos I think his name was. He knew the menu well, made great suggestions and was a good conversationalist. I ordered the blacked chicken Caesar salad and some fries (girl dinner) and everything was delicious! Cute little spot in the hotel in a great area to visit. Would definitely return
The good - the food! The bad - everything else. Parking is a nightmare - this is located in a planned community, so if you're not staying at the hotel, give yourself an extra 20 minutes to find parking and walk. Service was terrible. Server never came back after taking our order. No water, coffee, or drink refills, and we had to chase down our check just so we could leave. With all the great dining options this area has to offer, I would not rush back.
We found a new favorite spot in Celebration! We came for Magical Dining and had a much better meal than we expected! My boyfriend had the french onion soup, fried chicken, and key lime and I had the pork belly, bucatini, and olive oil cake. Seriously we loved every single thing we had. The portion sizes were generous but not over the top. Everything came out perfectly spaced out. It was just such a good meal! The staff were very friendly, including our server. The hotel as a whole is very nice and the restaurant was no exception. It was not very large but it had a great vibe. We sat inside because it is hot out but seems like they may have outdoor seating in the lake, as well. Definitely get here to try the magical dining menu, if you can, and we can't wait to return to try more from the rest of the menu!
There is no better way to enjoy a leisurely Sunday but by having a brunch meet-up with Yelp Orlando's Best All-Around Elite of the Year, Apple S. Indeed, knowing the work week lies ahead makes any activity enjoyed on a Sunday that much more sweet...or savory depending upon your brunch craving! The restaurant itself is located at the Inn at Celebration and has both inside and outside seating. Apple and I initially were located at the exterior lakeside patio however, the sun was shining at little too harshly and I didn't want to be included in any photo line-up of the most terrible tan fails of all time. So of course we moved ourselves to an interior table. And that brings us to the food. We both ordered the Beer Battered Grouper Sandwich. The Sandwich consisted of Crispy Beer Battered Grouper, Malt Vinegar, Tartar, Harissa Mango Salsa and Kohlrabi slaw on a Brioche Bun served with French Fries. The grouper serving was large and both crispy and airy. DELICIOUS! As to service, it was warm and welcoming however, somewhat slow and disjointed. Our server forgot my drink order and didn't follow-up with our table to see if we needed anything else. This is the reason for the four instead of five star review. Nonetheless, I would not hesitate in dining at this venue in the future...THE FOOD IS TASTY!
I met my yelp friend Ronnald M. for a Sunday lunch here. Reservations were easy with open table. They are a must as there's not that many tables here. This is at the Marriott lakeside hotel. We were seated outside but it was so hot in the sun we moved inside to the hotel lobby area. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. The only complaint would be the service was incredibly slow and even there was a lot of staff you wonder if they are understaffed. The table waters were warm and I could not see a server until we got the check to order anything else to drink. The food was great! We both had the grouper sandwich which was worth 5 stars for sure! The piece of grouper was massive! Overall really nice to come here and have good food for brunch, but you need patience and time. I love the honor a locals discount thank you for that!
I visited this restaurant a couple days ago with my friends. We decided to try the magical dining here, and it was definitely a great experience. The server and Chef were very nice and catering all our requirements or questions. The ambience of the restaurant was my favorite since it was a very elegant, but casual dining. Now the food was really well topped it off, appetizer was very abundant, the salmon with the rice was absolutely amazing, and the Keylime pie was big and tasty... parking was very easy since you can use anywhere celebration public parking.
We moved recently to the Area and had a wonderful Brunch with a 3 generations family group. Then we just went with new friends for Happy Hour and also had an awesome time. The Bartender Carlos is a true Pro; excellent drinks and very caring. The food; Bao Buns, Calamari, Flatbreads, etc., all delicious. Plus they have live music with a talented performer. Airy classy casual atmosphere. Very friendly staff. A place to return regularly.
Great bar, great hotel. Wonderful experience. Tried the walnut old-fashioned exceptional.. also mistletoe margarita. Carlos super helpful very nice and give us some good feedback on the area.
This place was meticulously elegant. The decor was beautiful and very romantic, even for brunch. I had the Blueberry Feta Steak salad and the French Toast. The salad was pretty basic and a little overloaded with French fried onions, but the star of the show was the French toast. It was soft, flavorful, and pair very well with the Grand Marnier syrup. Our server, Jo, was very sweet and attentive to our group of 12. Everyone was super friendly and it was well worth the trip. I would go back for another special occasion.

This is such a nice restaurant, I loved how calm it felt eating here. Also the restaurant was very clean and is so beautiful. The service was great. Our server gave us the best recommendations. The expresso martinis were so yummy. The food was made fresh and divine that churrasco has my heart. read more
We came for Magical Dining last night and will not be coming back any time soon. It's located right in downtown Celebration and the parking seems limited along the lake though there's also valet. The hotel itself is very pretty and there seemed to be plenty of seating even though we made a reservation. The server warned us service would be on the slower side and they unfortunately ran out of the chicken entree and offered no subsitituon. Most of the food lacked flavor and our server seemed a bit confused at times. When they came to bring our entrees, they had to wait for the server to come and clear our appetizers. Our waters were not refilled and they served cans of soda and there were no free refills. We enjoyed the French onion soup and chocolate dessert but didn't care for anything else. read more
We decided to try Lakeside on the Magical Dining menu just based on the French onion soup. We both ordered the soup to start. Flavor was good, but cheese definitely needed to be a bit more baked. The crouton they used was also too large so it soaked up the broth quite a bit. I still enjoyed this overall due to the flavor. I made the mistake of ordering the garlic chicken. It was just ok. As you can see, the fries were well done. My husband's steak was phenomenal though and the favorite for us both. The desserts were standard and as expected. Other things I wanted to note: Our server was on top of everything. We were auto-grated for a table of two, which we have never been before. A can of soda was $5. Don't think I would recommend this place or come back unfortunately. read more

This place has a special place in my heart. I evacuated from Tampa to Celebration and stayed in the Celebration Hotel for 3 nights. The restaurant stayed open throughout the hurricane and was super kind and accommodating to guests by running a special menu. We are here for 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts and the food was absolutely amazing. The appetizers are HUGE and should have a portion warning - the celebration calamari is truly a celebration. I cannot rave enough about the service and the kind and personable people that work at this hotel/restaurant. After spending so much time there during the hurricane they truly felt like friends & family. Even through the renovations of the hotel and restaurant, the service and food is top notch. I will probably end up driving back to this area to go to the restaurant for the nostalgic vibes and good food lol. read more
This place hits every time. I love how the location is so scenic yet hidden and not overcrowded. The food is super yummy. I love that the ingredients are so fresh. I'm not sure where or how they make the better but it was the best butter I've ever had. The sausage also was the best I've had. The fruit is fresh and such a good selection. Our waitress was amazingly nice. I need to go back asap. read more
An updated brunch menu with improved options. This small lakeside restaurant offers brunch and dinner. The menu was updated, which originally got us nervous because we loved the old options. For brunch, everything we tried was a hit! Really fresh fruit, wonderful service and a fair priced bowl of açaí (healthy breakfast ice cream!) There is usually always ample nearby parking for this location, with a good look out onto the lake as well as indoor and outdoor dining. I highly recommended! read more

Brunched here with a work party of 10. We had fabulous service from Rihanna who made sure all of our needs were met! I ordered a hot tea served in a cute little teapot as my coworkers went with coffee or water. I debated for some time on what to order and probably shouldn't have picked the Pulled Pork Benedict as I'm not a big fan of bbq sauce for breakfast, but I was hopeful and went with it. I was surprised at the lack of hollandaise so I did request some extra. The bbq sauce on the pulled pork was too sweet for me. I added salt and pepper, but it wasn't cutting the sweet so I ended up taking the pork off and just eating the egg and English muffin. The potatoes were good though! I liked the indoor and outdoor vibes, so I may have to come back and try other menu items. read more
My wife and I met up with some friends for Sunday brunch. There were five people total in our group. We had made reservations, which is highly recommended. Two of the people in our group opted for the bottomless mimosas, a couple had coffee, and I stuck with water. The bottomless mimosas do have a two hour time limit, which I think is pretty standard. For breakfast, my wife and I decided to split the Brunch Burger and an order of the Custard Dipped French Toast. I ordered the burger medium and with the tomato bacon chutney on the side. I thought the burger was cooked at the right temperature and had a great flavor. The chutney does add a nice element to the burger. The fries were cooked perfectly and had a nice crunch. While the French Toast was delicious, I didn't find it to be anything special. I guess I saw custard dipped and got excited and expected something different. It was a very well done French Toast, that is all. Now, what was exciting was the citrus whipped cream. I had a few bites with the whipped cream and a few with the maple syrup. Our friends did make comments on how delicious their food was. Our server was great and on top of things. It did take some time for the food to arrive, maybe about 30 minutes from the time we ordered. We had a nice time, and all agreed that we would like to go back and try a few more items. It is worth noting that this restaurant is mainly in the lobby of the hotel. Also, allow yourself extra time if you are visiting on a Sunday during the hours of the Celebration Farmers Market, as parking can be hard to come by. I do think the hotel does offer valet. read more

Wow is all I can say about this place! We briefly stopped here for Happy Hour and LOVED it! There are tables in the outside patio facing the lake offering a very relaxing atmosphere. The service is implacable and their small plates are amazing!!! We had great Smoked Margaritas and Calamari and Tomato Burrata.. The presentation, portion and taste of these dishes were top-notch! Lakeside Bar and Grill a must visit anytime in the Orlando area. read more

Cute spot right on Main Street of celebration. Restaurant is part of the celebration hotel. Took advantage of a nice cool night to look for an outdoor dining option. I nice surprise. Nice ambiance. Friendly staff. They had some live musician in the outside Terrace. They had lots of vegetarian friendly options. Good food. I would have liked a few more options, but selections were good. read more
This happy was AMAZING! The definition of getting your moneys worth! For $6 we got a classic cosmo and a margarita. The bites were both adequately priced and tasted fantastic. I was SO surprised by the wings. The were crispy and full of flavor. The service was also fantastic. The signs on the table say to visit the bar yo place an order but while we were seated browsing the menu, the bartenders came over to take our order and it felt like a full service meal. I really appreciated being waited on and the waitresses were extremely personable. I will be back for sure! read more

Tried a new to us restaurant in Celebration for the first time. Located in the Hotel Celebration. The server was very good. The dining area was pleasant and the lunch crowd was light. Parking is in two lots nearby or on the street. Some walking involved but not bad. We ordered the strawberry waffle and the brunch burger. The waffle was nice to look at and wifey enjoyed it. My burger came with tasty fries and an egg on top. Once I bit into the egg it juices flowed all over the burger and made the bun soggy. It was good messy eating but I used a fork near the end. There's dining on the patio overlooking the body of water. It wasn't a pleasant day in January so we ate inside. Happy eating read more

Excellent like every visit! This has become one of our favorite places for brunch. Between the food, the ambiance and the service everything is top tier. We always sit outside to enjoy the lovely outdoor balcony with views of the water and the trail that is nearby. Did I mention they have bottomless mimosas every day from 6:30a-3pm? Win win! I have came to eat with here with multiple friends and everyone loves it. The only thing I would say is missing i some music outside as it is so peaceful and quiet you can clearly hear everyone's conversations. Otherwise, this is one of the top brunch places. Food is delicious and cooked specifically to how it's ordered. After brunch you can take a walk throughout Celebration and enjoy all the little stores and other goodies available. read more
For being inside a hotel, this restaurant has some seriously good things going for it. First, the outside patio is beautiful. It sits directly on the lake, has a nice breeze, and great shaded spots to enjoy the food or drink. Also, the staff has been very friendly on each visit. My personal favorite thing has to be the apple bourbon cocktail. It is a perfect drink, extra perfect for a the 'chilly' fall nights by the lake, but stunning during the whole year, nonetheless. The pan seared snapped has been my favorite menu item so far. Went for brunch and had pretty common breakfast fare - nothing too exciting. The brussel sprout appetizer is pretty tasty and a super large portion. The Joyce Farms Chicken was also pretty standard. Although the honey glaze was nice, it wasn't anything super special. read more

Stopped by for a 9am breakfast/brunch with the in-laws. We made a reservation and was seated right away. We were seated outside where the ambiance was nice but all we could hear was screaming children. We were seated under the covering so there was nice shade and a good view of the lake. I do think some music would be nice to kill the dead air and not hear everyone's conversation. Our service was great. Emanda was attentive, would check on us to refill our beverages and to check how we were doing. We appreciated her kindness. For the food, we ordered the stuffed French toast, strawberry shortcake waffles, pulled pork eggs Benedict, and corned beef hash, 3 coffees and 1 OJ. The total was $85ish. The French toast and strawberry shortcake waffles were delicious. I'm usually not a fan of sweet breakfasts but the few bites I had, they were tasty. The cake was a little dry but that's what the syrup is for. My husband ordered the pulled pork Benedict. The egg oozed but the flavor for the pulled pork wasn't there. A bit bland. The corned beef hash: the presentation was rustic and looked great but the execution for eating it was not ideal. I ended up having to use a bigger plate to combine the two. The corned beef was rolled slices with 2 eggs on top in a small cast iron skillet. The other small skillet had the potatoes. It was difficult to cut and eat. The potatoes were cooked perfectly though. The overall dish was on the salty side though. Overall, the presentations were beautiful, the food was good, the service was good. One of the better restaurants in downtown celebration for sure. read more
