    My girlfriend and I had a wonderful lunch here today. 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.

    2nd time eating here as we had an excellent experience the 1st time. 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.

    Everything was awesome. We had an issue with parking due to Christmas Day parking issues. 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.

    Had to wait over 45 minutes for the food. The manager was informed by the server. 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.

    The noise was overwhelming and all three of us kept saying if we ate outside we would have enjoyed Summer House much more. 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.

    The ambiance out on the patio overlooking the lake was very nice and the cookies they had in the store were good, however other than that there is nothing to return for. Food was not good at all and terrible value for the money. The cheeseburger for 20 was miniscule and about half the size you get at Wendy's for a kids meal. Was mostly bread and the fries were dry and cold. I had the Brussel sprout salad with grilled chicken for 30 which was fair at best. Service was fair at best. Don't know what else to say but we enjoyed looking at the lake and that's about it. Much prefer Another restaurant there such as Enzos hideaway or other. Was a waste and we were looking forward to it

    Everything was delicious, but don’t go on a holiday if you expect to hear your table mates!
