I wanted Summer House to be better than it was…read more The restaurant is beautiful, the menu sounds interesting, and the prices definitely set the expectation that you're about to have something memorable. Instead, it felt like a lot of effort went into making things different without making them better. We ordered the three egg breakfast, and it was exactly that: three eggs. They were cooked well, but there wasn't really anything exciting about the dish, especially at that price point. The bigger miss was the Mexican hash browns. The hot potatoes topped with cold salsa, cheese, and sour cream created a strange mix of temperatures and textures, and the flavor never felt consistent from bite to bite. What left me scratching my head is that the safest play here seems to be ordering the classics. That's probably fine, but it feels like a missed opportunity at a restaurant that's clearly trying to position itself as an elevated brunch spot. I came in hoping for something creative and memorable. Instead, I left thinking the menu could use a reset and a little more focus on flavor over complexity.

We rolled out of bed and found ourselves in one of the better breakfast buffets we've ever found…read moreourselves part of. LetterPress is the Hilton Buena Vista's marquee restaurant, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a family friendly setting with nice touches. We made a reservation well in advance just in case but the place seems large enough where walking in shouldn't be much of an issue. After sitting down we got right back up as we opted for the breakfast buffet, which at $30 is an absolute steal. Let's get into what we got: We started off with carbs: pancakes and waffles. Both of which were okay with there being. A decent wait on the waffle machine. Unless you're craving either we would say it's not the best bet to stack up on. For meat they have a lot of options from bacon to pork sausage to chicken sausage. The bacon was alright and the pork sausage was the standard small ones you find just about everywhere; the chicken sausage though was delicious, a nice sweet flavor to it and large. They also have eggs and breakfast potatoes alongside the meat, the eggs being meh and the potatoes being pretty good. The better egg option is the omelette bar which is fantastic. There are probably about 20 different ingredients you can toss into them and it is well worth the wait. Oatmeal is another carb offered and that's self-serve so you can make it how you like. Many different pastries are also available so you can get a fix on your sweet tooth (all were pretty good). Last, for drinks we got chocolate milk, coffee, and juices from their self-serve juice machine. For that we got mango and apple juices. Again, for the price of $30 this is just an unbelievable deal, especially for families looking to get growing kids fed in as quick and convenient a place as possible. The added convenience of it being close to the pool and just downstairs adds another layer to it. While we can only testify to their breakfast buffet this does also look like a great option to take up on their actual menu. An excellent option for a quick, filling meal before exploring all the Disney Springs area has to offer!

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.

They may not be the King of Sandwiches, but that's self-admitted by the Earl of Sandwich!…read more Okay... royalty jokes aside. They do make a pretty good sandwich with some unique items! In a mecca of food options that Disney Springs is, I admittedly don't think of Earl of Sandwich as a first option often, but after a long night at Level 99... a quick sandwich was the perfect way to go! We ordered: The Earl's Club - why not order the namesakes sammich? The bread is phenomenal - a mix between fresh baked bread and a flaky pastry, it made the entire experience level up! Plenty of toppings and delicious flavors - only caveat was that we had to open it up and redistribute the toppings evenly. The service is extraordinary. At 10:00 PM, they still had over 15 staff, so everything was well taken care of including staff ready to wipe down every used table within seconds of people vacating them. With plenty of booths and tables, the inside is nice and simple comfort. In a pinch, I found a new option.

The Polite Pig is a barbecue-style quick-service restaurant located in Disney Springs at Walt…read moreDisney World Resort. It opened in April 2017 and was founded by husband-and-wife chef team James and Julie Petrakis, along with James's brother, Brian Petrakis. James and Julie both met when they attended the Culinary Institute of America. Collectively, they have worked at a number of restaurants from New York City to Atlanta. During their early culinary years, they both gained a strong appreciation for local and sustainable ingredients. The Petrakises own and operate a number of sister restaurants that include The Ravenous Pig, Cask & Larder, and Swine & Sons. Disney approached them wanting to feature a popular, locally-rooted culinary presence among its lineup of celebrity chefs and national chains. The couple opened The Polite Pig in an effort to highlight genuine Florida-inspired wood-fired, smoked, and grilled dishes to an international audience visiting Disney Springs. My family and I visited The Polite Pig for lunch this past summer while we were on a Walt Disney World Vacation. We really liked the whole vibe and the staff were so friendly and helpful. To drink, I ordered a "Piña Colada Mocktail" while my wife ordered a "Strawberry Daiquiri". For food, my wife and I shared the "Butcher Board" (polite pork, smoked chicken, brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, slaw, house pickles, pickled onions, cornbread, crispy brussel sprouts, sweet potato tots). It was fantastic! It was a great way to sample some of their best offerings and we loved all of the different flavors. Our older son had the "Smoked Pork Slider (w/ waffle fries) and our younger son had the "Mac & Cheese" (w/ waffle fries). They also loved their choices. There was also no shortage of delicious sauces for all of us to try with our dishes. We had an excellent experience at The Polite Pig and we hope to return on a future Disney trip!

Visited the Polite Pig again today and ordered three sides for $17 that included Burnt Ends Chili,…read moreStreet Corn and Mac & Cheese. The burnt end Chili was a bit overly spicy. Not inedible but I feel like the spice level could be toned down. The Street Corn was served on the cob and while I prefer off the cob, it was easy to cut it off the cob. The corn was prepared properly and remained crisp which I loved. The Mac and Cheese was too salty and pretty basically bland other than that. I will likely not order this again. Ordering is at the counter, they then give a lager that you take to your table so your food is served at your table. Servers check on you throughout your meal and they are helpful. The dining room is indoors and open air to the outdoor seating. Tables are placed tightly throughout the restaurant making it challenging to navigate getting to some tables and eliminate the possibility of getting to some tables of you have a stroller or mobility device. My meal with iced tea was a bit overly spicy $24 so this isn't a budget lunch.

The rest of the staff was just as welcoming, and the restaurant itself was impeccably clean. As someone visiting from Southern California, my Mexican food standards are pretty high, and Frontera Cocina definitely delivered. I would 100% come back the next time I'm in Florida. Highly recommend!

Vacation expectations are funny. After a day of traveling to Disney World, sometimes I'm just happy…read moreto be sitting down somewhere that doesn't require a boarding pass. But I was genuinely excited for this meal. I'm a Rick Bayless fan and own all his cookbooks, so there was a little more anticipation involved than "please bring me food." I live in Texas and know my way around Mexican food and Tex-Mex, but I came in expecting something different. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was good, and we were well taken care of. The food, overall, was just okay for me, with a few highlights. The queso fundido was excellent. Great flavor, plus those long strings of cheese that turn eating into a small arts-and-crafts project. There were three of us, and it arrived with exactly three tortillas. The tortilla-to-person math was flawless. The tortilla-to-cheese ambition needed work. We asked for more, and they were quickly brought over, so consider this your friendly tip to request extras. I didn't need a huge entrée, so I went with the chicken flautas. These were really good, although the chicken had an unexpectedly creamy texture. Not what I anticipated, but I liked it. My bigger issue was the pile of extras on top. At some point, I wanted to politely ask the toppings to step aside so I could taste my flautas. Also, try the mango-infused iced tea. Really refreshing in the Florida heat, and one of my favorite parts of the meal. Apparently, I came for Rick Bayless and left thinking about tea. I'm glad I tried it. Beautiful setting, good service, excellent queso, and some enjoyable bites, but the meal as a whole didn't leave me eager to return. With so many other restaurants to explore, I'd probably try somewhere else next time.

I stopped by Susuru for a solo dinner and grabbed a seat at the bar. The restaurant was fairly…read morebusy, but I was seated in under 15 minutes. 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.

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.
