First of all the service was outstanding. I can’t remember our server’s name, but I know he was originally from Greece. The service was impeccable is recommendations were spot on from cocktails to appetizers through main dishes. We had the oysters which were outstanding, crazy fresh for appetizers, and we shared the brazino and paella for our main courses and finally starting dinner with the baklava and ice cream. Food was outstanding. Drinks were delicious and Service was outstanding. Highly recommend this place. You won’t go wrong.

Wine Bar George is the best restaurant at Disney Springs. The brunch menu is fantastic, with delicious options and something for everyone. And the wine list is one of the best in America. Great food and even greater hospitality from the staff. Come see for yourself (I come almost every weekend so you can trust this review).

We did Magical Dining here and the service was great. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. I loved the lobster crema and my husband enjoyed the tortellini. Corkage fee is a bit high and their glasses of wine are on the pricier side, but overall a great experience, would definitely go back.

I heard about Bites & Bubbles all over the media. Last night, I finally went and OMG!, it was everything I was expecting and more! Starting with the welcoming Host, the coziness, the waiter expertise, the ambience, the quality of ingredients and cooking, the Chef supervising every detail…this was the dinner from last night that I’m still thinking about next day…It was so good!!!😊

I came for magical dining with a friend and we got the ceviche which I loved the sauce they put on it and the goat cheese both were so good! For entrees got the swordfish prime rib and red snapper and my sword fish was the best thing on their menu! For desserts got the creme brulee and tres leches tiramisu and loved them both too! This is a great restaurant to eat at in the grand cypress hotel!
