We had an amazing dining experience at Primo at JW Grande Lakes in Orlando! From the moment we were seated, our server, Juan C, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations that enhanced our meal.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving with Cooper’s Hawk and had their traditional turkey dinner with soup and dessert. We made reservations through Open Table and had no problems. We were promptly seated at our time and the wait staff was very good. We enjoyed a very relaxed dinner and the food was all delicious. We particularly enjoyed the butternut squash soup and the pumpkin pie. We also noticed larger family groups that were enjoying themselves and their areas were not overcrowded as we’ve seen other places. I recommend considering Coopers Hawk for special holiday meals.

A forever favorite spot. Anytime in Disney Springs, this is our go to (even making reservations well in advance). Grateful for another lovely experience with excellent service and incredible food - shrimp, salad, mac-n-cheese (adult and child versions), steak, roasted chicken, and cocktails! Yum!

Everything was wonderful for my son's graduation dinner. Only complaint would be the parking. We had to park 2-3 blocks away in the AC Hotel lot and walk to the restaurant. It would be helpful if they provided better parking instructions or a valet option - wj9ch is what I expected. I am used to valet when I dine so this was quite frustrating after being at a college graduation all afternoon.
