This was my second time here, but first time having dinner. The truffle fries and guac were fantastic, and my Brussels sprout salad entree was delish. My companion didn’t love his tuna tostada, he said it was too salty, but that was the only low point. This place is pricey, but to be expected at Disney Springs, and worth it for the excellent vibes. Hopefully next time we can get a table outside.

My spouse and I had a lovely dinner. I ordered their squash ravioli special with pieces of lobster and shrimp and the portion was perfect, the sauce was so lite and delicious. No take home needed. My husband had the Jambalaya and was very pleased with just enough spice and the ingredients we perfect. Our server was very attentive and was more than happy to introduce some wine I had not tried. My husband had the Coopershawk beer and was also very pleased. Overall experience was wonderful!!
