    We are gluten free (allergies) and this restaurant had so many options! Daniel was an amazing server. Even borough is “celebrating“ pins for our anniversary. The oysters on a half shell were so fresh and delicious that we got 2 dozen! Crab cake was delicious, carpaccio was amazing and nothing was less than excellent! We will be back!

    This food and service were exceptional as always. Giuseppe and Nick did an excellent job and we can’t wait to return. We tried the apple crisp for the first time and it was delicious. The Tomahawks were scrumptious and very tender.

    Our experience was absolutely amazing! Being from Indy, we already knew how wonderful Cake Bake was, but visiting the Orlando location exceeded all our expectations. From the sparkling lights outside to the warm and helpful staff, every detail was magical. Our server (Julian M) went above and beyond, making each moment extra special. The Indiana touches, like the Cake Bake Lemon Shakeup and Gwendolyn’s Cosmopolitan, brought a nostalgic charm to the experience. The food was phenomenal! The crab cake was exceptional—packed with huge chunks of crab and no filler. The pomme frites with the garlicky aioli were irresistible, and the po’ boy was both massive and delicious. We ended with the chocolate peanut butter pie, which was absolutely divine. The perfect finale was the Glitter Wish—such a whimsical and memorable touch! We never felt rushed, and the entire experience felt like an extraordinary event. Cake Bake is a true gem and 1000% deserves a spot in Disney. It was worth every second, and we’ll cherish this unforgettable experience!

    Sofia who sat us was excellent. We requested seats in the main dine room so we could experience the live entertainment singers and dancers. And she was able to make it happen! Our main dinner server Alan was phenomenal, explained the appetizers and entrees thoroughly and helped us choose the breaded sausage appetizer per his recommendation. I was torn between a few dinner entrees as well and he helped narrow down and provide recommendations. Wine and drinks were fabulous. The best Malbec I’ve ever had. We loved the entire experience. Singers and dancers were so talented. Will definitely be back!
