"Disney Springs’ newest restaurant is a calming respite from fried snacks and gaggles of wailing children. Settle in with a spritz and some of their lighter options: the tuna watermelon tostadas are refreshing, and since acceptable salads are hard to find at Disney, we’re especially thankful for the cobb loaded up with corn, cucumber, and plenty of bacon. The fluffy double chocolate cloud cookies from their in-house bakery are a perfect dessert, much better than waiting in line at Gideon’s for an hour. It's all set inside an airy dining room with huge windows facing the water, which will help you mentally prepare before facing crowds back at the park." - anne cruz, gabe bergado

Was looking for a light, fresh lunch to recover from several days of “theme park” food. This meal was incredible. My salmon was fresh and cooked to perfection, the salad greens were crisp and delicious. The poke nachos were chilled and so so good. We also tried the wagyu meatball, truffle fries, and spinach dip - all excellent. Our server, Alex, was personable, offered great suggestions, and was very attentive. We will absolutely be back.

Very fresh! I definitely enjoyed the signature guacamole dish. It was perfectly seasoned and the chips fall apart in your mouth. I also like the three dipping sauces with it. I didn't get any other vegan food that they had to offer this time. My wife had the spinach artichoke tip and she said it was very good. The kids got typical kids meals. Chicken and fries and grilled cheese and fries. They did look a little bit upscale 🙂 we would definitely go back again and I would definitely get the signature guacamole dish.

The atmosphere was amazing, the drinks were so good, especially the margaritas! The food is pretty pricey but its worth it for a special occasion or a night to splurge. I came back the next day for happy hour at the bar. The bartender recommended getting there at 2:45 for the 3-6 martini hour. The truffle fries were not my favorite, but the drinks are amazing.

Delicious food and a great experience! The deviled egg potato salad and truffle fries were absolutely amazing. Even with my food allergies, there were plenty of safe and tasty options to choose from. I really appreciated the accommodating menu. The kids enjoyed their meals too, which is always a win! We were having so much fun and enjoying the food that we only remembered to take photos after we had eaten. Highly recommend for a fun, family-friendly dining experience!

Great service, really good food. The halibut special was so good. Don't miss the gooey lemon cake for dessert! Our waiter was fantastic with great suggestions. They honor AP discount which also includes alcohol, one of only a couple of restaurants in springs that do that. We are already planning another trip

An unexpected and incredible dinner experience at Summer House. Our waitress Crystal G was amazing, attentive, and accommodating with our family. The food was excellent, but it was the service that made the night. My son wanted pancakes for dinner and boy did they hook him up (see photo!) Our poke nachos and steak tacos were both tasty and the cookie bar for desert was a perfect ending. Thank you.

The shrimp bucatini limone was okay. The shrimp in the pasta definitely made it better but I really expected more from it. The other foods that me and my family tried weren't all that either. The place is pretty inside and the lighting is very ambient which was nice. The service was great, our waiter Grace was very attentive. I will definitely give this place another chance. There is an also a cookie bar that has a great selection of drinks, fresh fruit, and cookies! I do highly recommend this place. Don't waste your time at Gideon's waiting hours. The cookies here are better!

Wonderful place to go with friends and family. Great service from entry to completion. Delicious food options for everyone and amazing warm cookies to finish the meal. The inside is a bit loud, but not overwhelming.

Love the ambiance/vibe. One of the best places for cocktails and cookie bar is amazing with little to no wait!

We love Stephen R he's the best!! Tacos are great and so are the sweet potatoes fries. The cookies are nice and hard but still doughy which is the best combonation! They are very accommodating for allergies. For a party of 4 our total came out to around $97. The prices can be pricey but the portions are huge so it is worth it and the food is great.

Fantastic service and food! The prime beef meatballs appetizer and Wagyu Strip Steak were delicious!

Wonderful lunch at Disney Spring's Summer House on the Lake. We found two seats at the back bar, with a busy but friendly bartender, and quickly got down to business! Hubby ordered a "Crisp Bois" beer, which was super delicious, while I had a fruity delicious drink - don't remember the name. Disappointed that the Warm Edamame was only on the dinner menu, we skipped the appetizer. We ordered the Costa Mesa salad to split, with an order of Truffle Fries. The salad came perfectly split with two beautiful plates! I'd love to have had more plant protein, but not available here. The salad was tasty, however, so we were happy. The truffle fries were shoestring, which is not my fave. I'd like more substantial bites for my truffle taste. They were good, but came with a weird sauce in which to dip them that did not go with the truffle flavor. After tasting it, we left the rest. Beautiful, cool day, overlooking a picturesque lake, in a serene environment with yummy food and drink...couldn't have been a better lunch place!

Summer House on the Lake Restaurant: This was our first time eating in the restaurant. We had a reservation for 7pm on a Tuesday night and it was pretty busy. We waited about 20 minutes. I imagine the weekend is even busier, so a reservation is definitely needed. It's really beautiful inside. Very bright and lively, but not chaotic. It has a very upscale vibe, without feeling the need to change out of park clothes. Overall this was a hit for us. The service was good, the food was excellent, and we felt like the quality justified the prices. I'd say this is one of the best restaurants in Disney Springs and will be top of our list when we go back in September! The cheesy dream puffs may not look appetizing, but looks are deceiving in this case. These popovers are light and airy, with the perfect amount of cheesiness. The dipping sauce is like a country southern gravy you'd find on biscuits where I'm from. The gravy is what brings it all together. I could have licked the bowl clean! You MUST try these! This pizza surprisingly very well done in that the crust was crispy (I hate soggy pizza crust) and seasoned, the tomato sauce was bright with the right amount of acidity, and the mozzarella was creamy. I would have liked a little more mozzarella. We will probably try the pepperoni next time. The spaghetti and meatballs was a favorite of our party. The pasta tastes homemade and the pomodoro was the perfect sauce. The meatballs were juicy and well seasoned. I would definitely order this again! The skirt steak was perfectly medium rare as requested. It was tender and flavorful. The fries were crispy. The dipping sauce for the fries was similar to a mix of honey mustard and bbq sauce. The butternut squash ravioli is hard to describe. I really enjoyed the ravioli themselves. They were al dente with a beautiful butternut squash filling that was creamy. The brown butter added some depth. However the sauce that the ravioli is on was kind of sweet and it seemed out of place in the dish. I would have preferred a cream or tomato based sauce or even a pesto, but it didn't work with the dish. Summer House Cookie Bar: This place has solid offerings and variety to meet anyone's current sweet cravings. My favorites are the lemon cookie (tart/sour, lemon glaze, soft), brownie (it's like fudge and brownie batter had a beautiful baby! It's moist, almost gooey, super soft), and brown butter Rice Krispie treat (slightly salty, sweet, gooey marshmallow. I have 2-3 during my stay). My husband likes the M&M cookie (it's a little crunchy, soft in the center, standard cookie). The atomosphere is so pretty and there's rarely a wait. We stop here every trip. Don't waste your time waiting in other lines for mediocre cookies and treats, when you can get great tasting sweets for lower prices and significantly higher quality.

What a cool place inside of Disney Springs that makes you feel like your in the Hamptons! Wonderful and stylish decor to match the excellent service. Everyone absolutely loved their entree choices. The sandwiches and tacos were stuffed with meat. And the rigatoni vodka was absolutely amazing! They also have a bakery out front to get cookies and treats to go. Which all looked so delicious. This will definitely be a must visit again when visiting near/in Disney!

We had a 6 pm reservation, but we were not seated until 6:25. We had a quick approach by our server, Angie, who was very pleasant. We ordered a prime cheeseburger and a margherita pizza. The food was delivered in just under 15 minutes by a very nice young man. We never got a check in from our server. In fact, we did not see her until she brought our check. About the food.... The burger was overcooked. We ordered medium, and it was somewhere between medium well and well done. Very dry. But very nice flavor. The pizza was not a pizza. It was a flatbread...cracker thin crust. The sauce was plain tomato sauce--no seasoning of any kind. Virtually no cheese. Three pieces of basil for 8 slices of pizza. (Note in the picture, I tore the basil into 8 pieces so each slice had some.) We stopped at the cookie bar on the way out for some of their yummy cookies. We'll definitely be back for the cookies, but will not return for a meal.

We went for a race weekend celebratory dinner at Disney springs. I have heard great things and they did not disappoint. Staff were friendly and for us in early for our reservation which was great. Seated in a spacious table for 4 and were greeted immediately. Tried the pineapple mocktail with habanero honey and it was Devine. Just a hint of warmth on the backside of a tangy sweet drink. Starters of potato salad deviled eggs were not too thick and perfectly seasoned. Three huge eggs was perfect to kick off dinner. For dinner it was grouper and chips alongside the rigatoni with added chicken. The grouper was huge and the portion of fries were a lot and perfectly cooked. Fish wasn't greasy and the sauces gave it a nice pairing. Husband could have eaten a gallon of the Cole slaw. My rigatoni was sweet and tangy with a touch of warmth. The chicken was the perfect add on and I loved how the peas cut through the sauce. I want it again asap! I highly recommend it here, as the service and food are on point!

This is the second time this week that we have gone to this restaurant. First was a date night which I recommend, and now this was a big family event. I have to start by saying that we were 18 people, and they were very helpful and understanding. Without the event planner or anything, the restaurant seated us all together with pretty much our own section. We did request the best waiter we have had in a while, Jordan. We did order a lot more stuff this time. My kids got a pepperoni pizza and a plain cheese pizza. This was nice. The sauce was nice and was cooked perfectly. My little one got a white pasta with chicken and fruits. We did love this, especially how it was served. The plate was great for her, and she cleaned up that plate. The fruits were fresh, and the butter pasta was great. For the adult mains, we tried the chicken, fish, and beef tacos. Out of all three, I have to say the fish was the best. The fish was seasoned perfectly and went very well. We will be back! This place is amazing.

Summerhouse is absolutely gorgeous and wow the volume they do there is crazy. The restaurant is HUGE and they also have a cookie bar. Drinks were not the best and a little overpriced so I think they could work on their consistency a little bit. Food was excellent! We went for brunch and they had a lot of great options. We left with a few cookies too which were delicious. Our server was great and the food was prompt as well. All in all would love to go back.

Celebrating my Birthday being treated to a special brunch with my Son & Daughter in Law! We had a delicious brunch! Our server David was fabulous and we all really enjoyed our meals which were enormous ! The setting is a Summer House on the lake Very elegant styling and comfortable seating. This is a great dining experience @DisneySprings

To start, our waiter, Myles T. Was awesome! The ambiance of the restaurant is very "California"....very welcoming and chic design. For appetizers we ordered the jalapeño cornbread which has just a little kick. Paired with a specialty butter, it is great! We also ordered the cheese puffs. Dipped in a nice cheese, it is also a nice lighter app. For dinner i ordered the "fish right now" which was a locally caught sheepshead. This entree was SOOOOO GOOD!!! Might be my no favorite fish!!

Stop by on my way the AMC to get cookies. Summer House on the Lake Cookie Bar was recommended by a friend. I got the Oatmeal Apple, the Oatmeal Scotchie and the Thai Banana to try. The cookies were okay. Weren't bad but wasn't what I thought they would be. After the movie, stopped by again to get something to eat. We shared an order of the deviled eggs. They were delicious. I ordered the wood grilled 'Florida fish of the moment' and a side of brussels sprouts. I never received the corn that was supposed to accompany the fish. The fish was not fully cooked and was raw in the middle. I had to check with staff to make sure that was the intended temperature and it was. I like sushi so it was ok. The brussels sprouts were delicious. The meal was expensive. I won't order the fish again. I don't think it was worth it. I would go back but try something else. I had the strawberry fields which was good. It is a bit tart and definitely not sweet. The restaurant had a warm ambiance even in the open seating area. The lounge area outside the front of the restaurant is comfortable and provides a place to sit and enjoy the cookies after visiting the cookie bar.

This may be my new favorite restaurant at Disney Springs (sorry Boathouse)! It's been open for a year, and it was time that we gave it a try, and so happy that we did. The restaurant is bright and airy. The service was friendly and prompt. And Karissa, our server, gave us excellent recommendations on things to try on the menu. The food was fresh and delicious. The Watermelon and Tuna Tostadas is a must order. The Crispy Fish Tacos were perfectly (and lightly) fried. Truffle fries were made with the skinny fries (which I prefer) and covered in Parmesan. So good! Deviled eggs exceeded expectations with the added capers and rock salt. We also bought a cookie and rice crispy treat to take home to try. This is definitely a repeat! And I'm already looking forward to the next visit.

Loved this spot. I've been to the restaurant in Chicago a lot! We had Wyatt C as our server. He was so attentive and friendly. Food was delicious and the vibes were just like in Chicago! Lovely decor and great music, not too loud. We had the hamachi which was unreal and the chicken Paillard- absolutely delicious. Highly recommend

Can't speak on much because we didn't try that much. We heard good things about this place. We just weren't really hungry. However the salads were amazing! Just remember, you're paying disney prices. The person next to us though said the mushroom pizza was amazing and it certainly looked it! Also I have to say, I absolutely love in the theming in the restaurant. It's like a beach shack meets chic! Would love to come try more here soon Sidenote: our bartender/server Ashley H was great! Friendly and very hard working

I usually stop by Disney Springs once during my week-long conference each year and it was a nice surprise to see Summer House opened up in Orlando. We went to the one in Rockville few years ago and remembered the food being great, so we made a reservation to dine there with few of my coworkers. We ordered the guacamole to share and added the crab meat to it. First time I tried crab and guacamole and it was really good. We also ordered Brussel sprouts to share and all three of us killed it. Each one of us ordered one each of the fish dish; salmon, fried cod and my fish moment of the day which they described it as similar to swordfish. The fried cod was quite hefty portion, but the salmon and the swordfish-ish were kinda small. Even so, I still walked out of there pretty full so guess the portion was just right for me. I would come back again. The ambiance and decor was just too cute not to come back.

There are many restaurants in Disney Springs. Summer House is a decent option where the ambiance is supposed to remind you of going to a beach house for a holiday or that the one cooky aunt owns that has a lot of money and likes to host parties with signage that says, "Yes" -- if you're familiar with Yoko Ono's earlier artwork you will know that is one of the exhibits that John Lennon liked that intrigued his interest. It is a lovely spot to share some casual cuisine with family and friends, especially family since you're most likely traveling to Disney with them. The restaurant has a separate entrance for ice cream and baked goods if you want to order cookies and other treats. As with most restaurants, you will want to reserve your table in advance, especially during the peak season months, to avoid a long wait. Even if you have a reservation, you might be waiting a few minutes for one of the tables to open up that accommodates your party size. I enjoyed refreshing cocktails such as the City by the Sea and Orlando Spritz. The food was okay. I wasn't in love with it, but I didn't leave hungry either. The Ahi Tuna and Watermelon Tostadas were as good as the grilled avocado. The guacamole with homemade chips was solid, while I was disappointed by the spicy salami and burrata pizza, which felt underwhelming with the toppings.

Great newer addition to Disney Springs; great food, cocktails, and sweet treats. This place can be a little pricey, but they have some really great food and drink options. Some menu options are definitely better than others, and between personal experience and word of mouth, some things are hit or miss, however; most things I've tried have been great here. It has great ambiance with lakeside views, lots of natural light, and modern design. I don't see reservations pop up very often, but I've been able to get in here several times with little to no wait. A great highlight of this place is the walk-up cookie bar, which features many flavors, a few other baked goods, to-go coffees and cocktails, etc. It's a solid option if you're seeking a sweet treat with low waits. They also have some amazing dessert options on the menu as well.

I was in Orlando with my family for Thanksgiving and ended up with a dinner reservation at Summer House and - holy cow - what an excellent choice this was! Dare I say that this might have been my best ever Thanksgiving dinner (sorry mom!)? They had a special menu for the holiday and it really hit the spot for my missed family time! The kids menu here was also super extensive and was, by far, the kids favorite place that we ate in Orlando. It was pleasing to all of my extremely picky children - offering breakfast for dinner, grilled cheese, buttered noodles - all of their favorite things! If given the option, I would definitely go back to this restaurant!

Yelp
Wow!! Everything from the ambiance, to the service, and of course - the food - was just amazing!! The decorations were so warm and summery, just beautiful. Our service was very nice and attentive as well. For the menu, there are so many deciduous dishes to chose from, it was so hard to just pick one! We started with the spinach artichoke dip, which was a seasonal special, and it was phenomenal! It was perfect for the winter season, warm and so fresh. We then got the vodka pasta and short rib enchiladas (seasonal). The short rib enchiladas were delicious, so flavorful while as being light and fresh. The vodka pasta wasn't anything impressive unfortunately, it needed more sauce and was a bit dry but the flavor was good. We didn't get any cocktails this visit but the list looked tasty! This is definitely one of the better restaurants down in Disney springs. Make sure to do a reservation at least the day before because it gets busy!! And the house made cookies are a MUSTTT on the way out. They were gigantic and some of the best cookies I've ever had in my life!!!

Summer House on the Lake, located in the heart of Disney Springs, is a vibrant and inviting restaurant that brings a beachy, upscale vibe to the area. Think Nobu, but with a coastal, laid-back twist. The restaurant is known for its stylish ambiance and a menu that offers a little something for everyone, with a nod to fresh, flavorful ingredients and modern, beachy elegance. I had visited Summer House previously just for their cookies (which are honestly the best I've ever had), but this time, my wife and I decided to make it a special occasion for her birthday dinner. The service was top-notch - warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. For dinner, I couldn't resist ordering the skirt steak frites. I've had my eye on it for a while, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the frites paired so well with it. To drink, I ordered the Frose All Day, and wow - it was incredible. I ended up having two of them because they were that good. Overall, our experience was fantastic. Summer House on the Lake is definitely worth checking out, whether you're in the mood for a special meal or just want to indulge in their amazing cookies. A must-visit in Disney Springs!

While in Orlando recently, my wife and I drove over to Disney Springs to meet relatives. We decided to meet for lunch at Summer House On The Lake. Since we got there a little early, we stopped for drinks at the bar. Good move as it was a nice bar with excellent cocktails! Our lunch was fun. The atmosphere here is very friendly as you would expect. I had the tacos, which I wouldn't recommend. The shells were too soft and broke apart. I would up just eating them with utensils. My wife thought her salad was excellent. Upon leaving, they have a great bakery with cookies and coffee. The cookies aren't cheap, but they were huge and delicious. This is a nice place to eat if you're at Disney Springs!

I didn't have much of an expectation but was positively surprised. The restaurant was very well laid out and looked like a lake house. The food was great as well. My wife and shared the shaved Brussel Sprout Salad, the Penne a la vodka and my son and I shared the corn bread and the deviled potato salad eggs. My son had a Pizza with half pepperoni and half mushrooms. The food was really well done and came out quickly. Overall, the food was really good and as far as the service was concerned, we had no complaints. The waitress was very nice and was on top of everything. Now there is also a cookie bar in the same restaurant that I can highly recommend. I am not a fan of cookies but I think I have found my all time favorite cookie I have ever had. It is the Almond Cookie. Think almond croissant but in cookie form. THE BEST!!!! Now I am sure not everybody loves almonds so you are in luck, they have so many different choices and they are all good. Well we are going back tomorrow for dinner again. Can't wait. Highly recommend this place for some really good food.

***Highly Recommend, Reservations Are A Must, Extremely Delicious*** Wow I am absolutely thinking when I can come back. The service was great and I appreciated the frequent, but not too excessive check-ins. The food was absolutely delicious (not pictured was the crab guacamole). We were absolutely stuffed. This is a must visit spot!

This is the newest big restaurant in Disney Springs with a warm Cali vibe. The interior is absolutely vibrant while the waterfront is relaxing. I had a grapefruit spritz and it was well made and presented. On weekends they don't have a separate lunch menu. Until 2 PM it's brunch after that it's dinner menu. I went just before 2 PM so was able to order off of lunch menu because I wanted pasta. The rigatoni was so good. It looked like a small bowl, but it was very filling even without the protein selection. It was my birthday, so I got a cookie with ice cream. By the way their cookies are very popular and there was a huge line just for that. This place is more centrally located and convenient to reach. Our server Daniel took great care of us. He was attentive and nice to talk to. My friend chose a gluten-free option for pizza and said it was really good.

Awesome place. Was so excited to finally make it there. We celebrated my nieces 21st birthday at Summer House. The staff was amazing. Our server was great. Overall great atmosphere and great location. My drink was the Orlando Spritzer. I recommend it totally. And I ordered the chicken tacos. Although I did not like them and sent them back, my niece loved them. And she is a picky eater. So I would recommend them too. A cool feature they offer is at night for the Drone Show at Disney Springs is you can pay an extra fee to sit on their patio. Do it. You will love it.

I recently visited Summer House by the Lake at Disney Springs during brunch, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The place itself is absolutely stunning, such a perfect spot for a peaceful and scenic brunch. My friend and I had a reservation, and even though we had to wait around 10-15 minutes to be seated, it was no big deal considering how popular this place is. Plus, there's plenty to do while you wait! On the left, they have their own merchandise and a cozy little coffee shop where you can grab a drink, which is great if you need a caffeine fix. On the right side, there's a bar area where you can sit and sip on a drink while you wait. With options like these, the short wait time flew by. Once seated, we were initially directed to an inside table, which felt a bit crowded. So, we asked to be moved outside, and honestly, it was the best decision. The view of the lake is breathtaking, you can even see the New Orleans side of Disney Springs! It added so much to the overall ambiance. Our waiter, Kyle, was beyond amazing. He was incredibly attentive, funny, and welcoming. Honestly, I would ask for him every time I visit Summer House! Kyle gave us some excellent recommendations for both entrées and appetizers. We started with the deviled eggs and cornbread as appetizers, and they were both bursting with flavor. A great way to kick off the meal! For our entrées, we both got the breakfast burrito, which came stuffed with cheese, eggs, bacon, and avocado, and it was served with your choice of hash browns or a salad. The burrito itself was light but filling, and while it could've used a bit more seasoning, I liked that I could adjust the flavor to my liking. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations. The food was great, the service was even better, and the setting was simply beautiful. Plus, the bathrooms are worth mentioning, they are stunning! Perfect for snapping a quick photo. Summer House is definitely an ideal spot for a brunch outing with friends or family. I'll definitely be back!

Walked in and was seated almost immediately. Wanted a light bite so we split the Cobb salad with salmon and a margherita pizza. The waitress asked us the temperature we liked the salmon which not a lot of places around Disney ask so we said medium. The salad and pizza were more than enough food, everything was freshly made and flavorful, and the kalamansi yuzu chiller was excellent. The waitress was attentive enough to split our salad between two plates w/o asking. We were full enough that we got a brownie to go. We were sat at a 4 top with some TVs tuned to a football game, but the sound was down and the vibe was chill.

Yelp
Food always so good. So many choices to decide from. We had reservations for 12:45 they have brunch until 2. We were not really in a breakfast mood so we had some appetizers and a round of drinks until the menu changed. So glad it did because my pasta dish was so freaking n good. It had lemon zest, garlic and olive oil with parm. Shrimp was cooked perfect. It was a perfect portion and the taste was just incredible. Everyone enjoyed their meal, we ordered steak tacos, rigatoni which was so good. Meatball appetizer was so good. Has a kick at the end. Oh and the ambiance is so nice. You forget you're in Disney - as the restaurant is on the lake. Def coming back.

This is a very pretty, new spot at Disney Springs that we decided to stop in for a quick drink and app. The espresso martini was amazing , service was great and the view was even better.

Olivia D.

Yelp
They have the best espresso martinis, although they come from a martini machine instead of being made with a cocktail shaker. Their martini hour is the best time to go. It does get very busy and in order to take advantage you just headsets at a bar. Luckily they have three! They do get very busy around dinner time but this was also during the winter holidays. Their Brussels sprouts are yummy and if you're very hungry (warning) the tostadas are VERY small. The restaurant is beautiful and has a summer vibe. Happy they now have one here since I previously visited a location in Chicago!

First time at Summer House on the Lake and was thrilled to learn how many gluten free options they have! Almost anything can be made gluten free. The restaurant is super cute with a great vibe. We had a table right next to the lake which was beautiful. I ordered a pepperoni pizza made gluten free and enjoyed an aperol spritz. I will definitely be back to this spot in Disney Springs! Our waiter was great.

Summer House is a beautiful restaurant over looking the lake. Rhe service is good as well as the food. The Kale Caesar Salad was phenomenal. The beat dish of the meal. The Shrimp Bucatini was great but the portion was a bit small to the price point. The fish of the day was the Hofish which was really good although the corn hash was a bit salty. We had a cookie for dessert. They are big and thick but was just ok. Overall a good dinner.

Had a wonderful meal at Summer House on the Lake. David was very attentive and friendly. Food came out quick. The Spicy Kale Caesar was wonderful, great flavor. The Shrimp bucatini was light and had a great lemon essence. The guacamole was a delight. The WOW chocolate cake was definately a WOW, 4 of us ate from it! Super tasty food and great vibe in restaurant. Will visit again next time we are in Orlando!

Ambiance -Bright, airy, beachy. California vibe. Service- reservation are a must unless you snag a spot at the bar which is first come- first serve. Reservations were taken on time. Friendly server, food came out fairly quick. Food- seasonal halibut, chicken tacos and house rose. All very good. Halibut was crispy on the outside and served over white beans and corn, tacos were fresh and nicely presented.

I came here for their Magical Dining (pre fixe menu for $40) Ambiance - Beautiful nice setting. Great spot in Disney Springs and also very photo friendly for the influencers. Restaraunt was a lot bigger than I thought and the view for outdoor seating is nice. Food - Fantastic. I'm glad I listened to the waitress when she said their potato salad deviled eggs is a popular appetizer. I'm a sucker for deviled eggs and I know it sounds like an interesting combo but trust me, you have to order them. For the magical dining, I ordered their Brussels sprouts, pork tenderloin and butterscotch crème de pot. BIG portions (except for the dessert) and all were So Delicious and worth it! Service - Very attentive and friendly staff. Quick with refills and bringing the food out.

Across from the Salt and Straw ice cream shop and near AMC and Splitsville Bowling is Summer House. A new-ish restaurant and dessert place to try at Disney Springs. They have seats outside on a covered porch, would not be bad on a cooler day and a few seats inside (this is separate than the restaurant). We decided to try a cookie, went with a traditional chocolate chip with walnuts. There were about a dozen flavors to choose from, not too unlike Gideons, just around the corner. Both are about the same. Oversized cookies, you can mainly cook at home... but fun to try while on vacation. From $4.95 -6.50 or so for a cookie plus coffee/tea. Spent about $20 for a snack. It was average, might just be me but tasted a bit undercooked. I am never sure when something is soft baked or undercooked. I took Gideon's home and baked them again. This cookie we just ate. Tasty and wonderful staff. The coffee was good, hot, strong and a good selection. One last note, perhaps take a quick look at the bathroom more often. I hate a dirty bathroom. Try it if you love cookies or would like a good cup of coffee.

This restaurant is a true gem! The portions are generous, ensuring you get your money's worth, and the service is top-notch. The food was excellent, especially the fish tacos--they were some of the best I've ever had, with perfectly cooked fish and a great blend of flavors. If you're looking for a place with great service, large portions, and exceptional taste, this is the spot. Highly recommended!

Came here for a lovely Sunday brunch with some friends. The inside is beautiful and I love the aesthetic and decor they have! The service and food is good too. I tried the breakfast tostadas, which were yummy. I thought they could have been seasoned a bit more but overall a good bite. I would definitely make a reservation here and stop by if you are looking for a place with relaxing vibes and a nice meal.

This is the newest dining experience at Disney Springs. Because of its new hype, it is difficult to get a reservation, but it is well worth the perseverance to get one! We went for weekend brunch, and the menu is spectacular. They have something for everyone. And it is not your mainstream pancakes and chicken with waffles. They have salads, breakfast burritos, burgers, pastries and truffle fries! The quality of the food is incredible and left me feeling so fresh and satisfied. The venue itself is the best on property in my opinion. So beautifully decorated and all themed so well. I will be back over and over again!

We grabbed some lucky seats at the bar to the left of the hostess stand. It's a big restaurant! I had the Brussels sprout salad which was massive, and pretty good, and the cheese pizza which was also good. Service at the bar was just okay. Cookies for dessert were amazing. We had the salted chocolate chip and birthday cake, I recommend trying them!

I honestly don't even know where to begin, because this place looked like it was straight out of the Joanna Gaines catalog and I had low expectations going in. But every single dish here was, frankly, amazing. The shrimp tacos? Perfect balance or ingredients and super crispy fish. The guacamole and homemade chips? Refreshing. The meatballs? Tender, packed with flavor. The deviled eggs? They are deviled eggs, which can do no wrong. The shishito peppers? Same old story, but with an amazing addition of yuzu and sesame. Our waiter was great, and the prices were reasonable. We weren't drinking any booze for this visit so cant comment on the cocktails.

Wonderful, large salads! Delicious cookies and baked goods. Nice views and Florida-vibe ambiance. Would love to come again on my next trip to Orlando. Server was very kind and attentive!

The food here is good and well cooked. The service is nice and fast and they make you feel good and welcomed. The restaurant is a nice and calm bright feel to the place not to loud nor too quiet it was a great experience.

After having a horrible experience my first time dining at Summer House, I was hesitant to return, but I had a much better experience this time. I was lucky enough to get a same-day reservation. We arrived 30 minutes early and they were very accommodating and seated us immediately. Our server came right to the table and was very attentive throughout our entire meal. I ordered the chicken tacos and my niece ordered a cheeseburger from the kids menu. I was hesitant about the tacos because the sever mentioned there were only three, but they ended up being really big and filling. The tacos came with guacamole, pico and salsa. They were incredibly tasty and the sweetness from the corn tortilla balanced the savory flavors from the chicken. The only issue with the tacos was that they fell apart and were hard to eat, but that's a natural effect from the corn tortillas. I had a gift card that management sent me after my previous experience. I was told that I had to use the full amount on the gift card. Our server was kind in helping us select cookies to ensure we met the total amount on the gift card. While it may not be my first, or favorite choice in Disney Springs, I'm glad I gave Summer House another try. I'll absolutely be back for the cookies and I wouldn't hesitate to go back for dinner.
