   Not as good as this place was when it first opened. Food quality was far below the last few times we've been here - Steak Frites used to be incredible now that they've changed it it's nothing special and was overcooked. Nobody else at table was impressed with their food. Service was mediocre - waitress was disinterested majority of the time. Probably won't return after this experience considering all of the other options at Disney Springs and quality for the price.

   Our first time and wasn’t impressed with the hostess, Lexi. Very unwelcoming and not friendly, not the type of hostess you should have welcoming your guests. A rude hostess just ruins the expectation and vibe of a restaurant. She told us we had to park our stroller on the other side of the building when she could have mentioned that while we were waiting. I told them we could fold our stroller since it was a compact one (babyzen) but she said we weren’t allowed to. As we were walking in, I saw a folded bugaboo stroller next to a table which is the same size as ours. I asked the male hostess walking us to our table why we couldn’t do the same with our stroller and he mentioned that there wasn’t enough room for ours. We sat outside with the whole back bar seating empty, no one sat there the entire time we ate. There was a huge plant we could have easily placed our folded compact stroller next to and it would not have interfered with any walk way. What saved our experience was our server Chris from Tampa. His personality was fun and welcoming. His recommendations on food and drinks were on point. We ordered the guacamole and chips, crab cake dinner, house salad, margarita pizza, kids chicken tenders and kids pizza. The cocktail he recommended was a blueberry and gin drink that I can’t remember the name but was very good. It helped me forget how rude the hostess was. The view was beautiful, so on a perfect day I would recommend to sit outside.

   We had a great experience at summer house today around 4:00pm. We had just enough time to grab a drink at the bar and then our table was ready outside with a nice view of the lake. Brittany was our server and recommended the cheese dream puffs and they were delicious. My husband and I also tried the meatballs, shrimp cocktail and jalapeño corn bread for appetizers which were all pretty good. My 4yrold daughter was being picky so the strawberry mocktail wasn’t for her and we ended up putting a shot of vodka in it and she had a lemonade with her chicken fingers. All the appetizers and drinks were pretty filling but we still had room to share the grouper and chips which was excellent. For dessert we shared the warm lemon butter cake and that was out of this world- rivals delfrisco’s butter cake. We also had an espresso martini to go which was nice bc it didn’t go to waste. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu and try to get an evening reservation:-)

   Service was excellent. Ambiance is great. Our server Josh was phenomenal. Food was average. For the price they charge portions are very small. Ahi Rueben had a little piece of fish in it that they had cut to try fill up the whole sandwich but it didn’t. Bread was just wheat bread. Nothing special. Miso salmon tasted fishy. Fish in the Fish and chips was doughy with the batter that it was covered in. Overall too expensive for the quality of food. Again service and ambiance were excellent.
