    I've heard such great things about this place and was excited to finally get a reservation, however I was very disappointed. The food wasn't great especially for that price. I ordered a lobster roll which I got a a few pieces of lobster on a soggy bun and the rest of the basket was full of kettle chips that taste just like Panera's. We ordered a few appetizers and my kids ordered meals, but everything was nothing more than mediocre. I have to say our waiter Jermey was amazing , great service but the food took long to come out. I'm glad I tried it but I won't be coming back. So many other great restaurants that are cheaper and way tastier in Disney Springs.

    Wonderful place at Disney Springs. Always a priority for us and suggest that you get a table on the outdoor patio. Good food and good service. A fun place to have lunch or dinner.
