   Great selection of menu items in a very clean atmosphere. The view from the back deck was amazing. All the staff were inviting and attentive. It has become a must visit for each future trip to Disney World.

   I have tried to like this restaurant. This was my 10th time dining here. The service was awful. The prices are very high. Substitutions are rarely allowed. I asked for extra sauce for my truffle fries twice. It finally arrived after we finished the fries. The portions are ridiculously small. I got 14 rigatoni noodles in my entree. That about $1.50 per noodle! You could see the bottom of the bowl. The guy delivering the order to the table actually laughed and agreed about the small portion size. The manager came over and apologized, although she did not see the small portion. After almost 30 minutes more, the manager delivered my pasta. She, very loudly, said she gave me a double portion. I was embarrassed. Like I was a pig asking for extra food. There was actually at least four times the amount in my original order. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. So done with this place!!!

   I normally have nothing but good things to say about Summer House on the Lake at Disney Springs. I've eaten there for brunch, lunch, and dinner. This past weekend, we returned for brunch. I ordered the Mexican Hashbrowns, which I've ordered before. This time, though, they didn't taste as "fresh." They weren't piping hot like they were freshly made, and the hashbrowns were a bit crunchy, as if they had been sitting for a long time. My first cup of coffee wasn't super hot and didn't taste freshly made either. I absolutely NEVER do this, but when our meals came, I asked our server for a fresh cup of coffee rather than adding newish coffee to my half-drank lukewarm one. Thankfully, the new cup tasted fresher and was definitely hotter. I think everyone kind of felt the same about their meals. They weren't "hot" like normal, as if that had sat around for a bit before being delivered to us. That included another order of Mexican Hashbrowns, the Breakfast Tacos, and Pancakes (with no hot syrup). It won't stop me from going back to the Summer House because I've had so many good experiences in the past and love the atmosphere. I hope they don't think they can slack off after gaining popularity since opening.

   The ambience was great and the servers did an amazing job. Price-wise for food quality and flavor profiles were a bit of let down for how pricey things were.

   One of the best meals I've had at Disney after 3 visits. Service was great. Food and drinks excellent. Warning, the chocolate cake dessert is easily enough for 4 or 5 people. Three steak frites was very flavored. The creamy lemon dessert was excellent.

    Overall we had a very nice experience. Our server, Starr, was great! The only drawbacks were that the food was run in really spaced out increments with a 10 minute span between the first item and last item arriving to the table and there wasn’t an explanation for the sporadic delivery. Outside of that, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed the atmosphere and experience.
