Our server, Brittany , was very attentive and talked us through some of the dishes. A word of warning - their cheese puffs are something we had not tried before and as well as being tasty, are very filling. You have been warned! Enjoy.

She got the Costa mesa salad with grilled chicken salmon poké nachos. Both were fantastic. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. Disney Springs has slightly better food than the rest of disney, and this place is definitely one of the best in Disney Springs.

Unfortunately in my pasta, I found an extremely long black hair very well mixed in to the dish. The action taken was a free desert , with a very nonchalant apology. I’m not really sure what I expected from the restaurant in such a situation, but , it felt like they really were not bothered in the slightest. Put me off going back tbh. Our server , Chris , was very good.

We arrived on property an hour prior to our reservation and it took almost another hour to park. I was worried that the restaurant would not hold our reservation but was told not to worry. Once seated and our server, Chris, came to the table, the experience more than made up for the parking fiasco. Chris was very attentive and a joy to deal with.

Shrimp cocktail excellent. Guacamole excellent. Bucatini with shrimp very good. But, the fish and chips, poor at best. We doubt she seafood was grouper as the filet was cutlet thin, the smell was old fish and it was way over breaded and over fried. Plain old not good. We need to come back to Summer House and try another meal to really evaluate the food.

                                                                                      Is this helpful?

He came to the table and apologized for the wait and said he would cover our bill. After dinner we were also given a gift certificate for our next visit. The food was good and the prices reasonable. The restaurant was somewhat crowded by noticed others arriving after us were getting served their meals. The action taken by the manager made the experience better and we would return again and recommend this restaurant to friends.
