                  We had a family of 8 adults and two infants for Sunday brunch. We were seated within minutes of our reservation and warm, delicious, sweet dinner rolls were placed on our table minutes of being seated. Our server Jorge was perfectly attentive through out our entire experience. Since this was our first visit, he suggested drinks, appetizers, and popular dishes. They have an excellent Oyster bar, too. We were all very satisfied with our respective drinks, appetizers, meals. Our dessert was large enough to share with the entire group of 8. I highly recommend the Boathouse experience if you are in Disney Springs.

                  Sat next to car boats on the deck and a lot people crowded our table watching the boats. Service was slow took an hour to get food. Drinks way over priced. Food was good.

                  Food was very mediocre. Service was touch-n-go. Round tables - very small; 4 of us were seated at one. Very loud. One of my guests asked for side salad: it was large, tasteless and brought with his entre. Not what he expected. Cole slaw was tasteless as well. Popeye’s Chicken has better Cole slaw. I asked for coffee and I got a lukewarm cup of same which tasted like it was sitting on a carafe for a while. I was an another which was OK. Quite disappointed.

                  Eduardo was the best. No request went unfulfilled! He went over and above to make our experience perfect. Try the Crab and Avocado! The filet mignon sliders were also great!
