    This was our second visit. We had a reservation and were seated immediately at the same table as last time. Without a bachelorette party next to us, the ambiance was much better! Our server was friendly and attentive. The salad and bread were fresh, and a delicious start to our meal. The steaks were prepared perfectly. The salmon’s preparation is unique, resulting in a rich and luxurious entree. I’m still trying to find a side dish that I like…maybe next time. Three desserts came to our table: the Grand Marnier Chocolate Cake, the Salted Caramel Brownie, and the Strawberry Cake. I will always pick the Strawberry Cake, as it’s a light and refreshing end to the meal!

    Good selection. Roast beef was too well done but everything else was great. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive. No-rush attitude. Very nice building. Would go again.

    We had an incredible first experience at The Cake Bake Shop on Disney’s Boardwalk, and wow, it was nothing short of magical! Right from the moment we stepped in, we were warmly welcomed by Skyler and George, which set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our fabulous waitress, Jennifer, truly made the night special! She guided us through the menu, highlighting her favorite dishes and sharing some exciting changes coming soon. We kicked things off with the truffle fries, which were absolutely divine! For my main course, I indulged in the shrimp Po'boy, savoring every single bite. Jennifer thoughtfully chose the Croque Monsieur for me, and it was so delicious I could seriously eat it every day! Of course, we saved room for dessert and couldn’t resist trying the seasonal option—it was the perfect finish to our feast. To top it all off, we had the pleasure of meeting the amazing owner, Gwen. She was just as wonderful as the food! We’re already looking forward to our next visit for breakfast and tea. What an unforgettable night!
