The fish sandwich could have used a bit more fish, but the taste itself was very good. The dining experience was professional, and the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed.

Nice and cozy for a relaxed dinner. Not gonna lie, everything here is quite pricey! But beautiful indoor/outdoor tropical beach vibe here with plenty of seating. Our server was Omar and he was wonderful. Very hospitable and nice. He was also helpful in recommendations for food and drinks. Everything we ordered: * Surf Rider $20 * Grilled Jerk Chicken Wings $28 * Maui-Style Ribs $26 * Crab Cake $28 * Fried Fish Sandwich $32 MKT * Pandan Tres Leches $12 Got Surf Rider with Mezcal substitute, no additional cost. Omar confirmed price was same for this sub. Grilled Jerk Chicken Wings had great flavor but wish it was crispier. Maui-Style Ribs were so damn good and I don't even love ribs, I think it was the Asian style ribs and flavor that I actually enjoyed. Fell off the bone meat too. Crab Cakes were just ok and for $28 it was not worth it for that one crab cake. Fried Fish Sandwich was my favorite as it had good texture with slaw, pickled and herbs combo along with the generous portion of red snapper fish! I was excited about the Pandan Tres Leches because I love pandan flavors but this didn't hit the spot for me. Pandan flavor was good but didn't love it as Tres Leches, maybe try a Pandan Creme Brûlée or Cheesecake? Just an idea. Lovely dinner all in all. You cannot beat the front row seat to the lagoon and sunset. But honestly, it's really expensive for the appetizers. The market price of $32 for the Fried Fish Sandwich was fair and that was my favorite so it was worth it. Appetizers costing a whopping $26-$28 each was too much. We had a lovely experience though and happy we got to check it out. Food if great quality but overpriced for the appetizers. That's all. Everything else was wonderful.

Bonus for the cool tiki mugs you can buy and add to your collection (I still have my mom's tiki glasses from the 60s and 70s). Depending on what drink you order, they may lower the lights, turn on the volcano and start chanting. I'll be honest, as an introvert, this wasn't my jam the first time I visited, because we were seated at the bar and the bartenders chose me for one of the acts. But the last two times, we were seated at a table in the very back and I love to watch from my dark corner. My husband ordered a zombie and our waitress did a hilarious zombie act as she brought it over to him. It's just so fun. I ordered a pineapple drink that featured Dole Whip and I didn't love it because the consistency was reminiscent of a Slurpee rather than Dole Whip. I feel like drinks are a little hit or miss and some are strong AF so know what you're getting into. Other things to keep in mind: if there's just two of you and you're not sitting at the bar, you will share a table. I don't love this but it is what it is. One time the couple we were seated with was cool but this last time, I made the mistake of making a light political comment that was meant with stony silence... my bad, but I don't need to think about putting my foot in my mouth if I'm not seated with strangers. All good, though, because for half the time we had our four-top to ourselves. This place is great for groups if you're willing to wait. Use the My Disney Exp app to put your name on the waitlist.

Service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience pleasant overall. Food was good overall, but the ribeye was a bit disappointing. While it was cooked well, it lacked seasoning and flavor, which was surprising since everything else we tried was solid. With a little more seasoning or sauce, it could've been a standout. Drinks were well made and enjoyable, and the overall energy of the place was nice. Twin View has a lot of potential, and with a few tweaks to the food execution, it could easily be a go-to spot.

While staying on property we decided to dine here for a friends 40th birthday. A party of 6 and a…read more7:30pm reservation. After checking the menu I was sooo excited to try this place. Unfortunately, the excitement was short lived. Our server was Anna, after our food came it seemed like she forgot about us. My husband was missing a side of broccoli. We were expecting our server to come check and see if everything was correct. She didn't. So we waited awhile and once she did we let her know. She said she would get it, and again The broccoli never came. My husband was more than halfway done with his Steak so We stopped Anna as she was walking by to ask her to please remove the broccoli that never came from our bill. She said "oh this is yours" as she grabbed a plate of cold broccoli on the other end of the table that had been given to the wrong person and they had eaten off of. She then sat it in-front my husband. He tried telling her no and she said it was his and whoever brought the food out just placed it wrong. We told her again someone else had eaten from it and he would not be eating after them. She then said "I'll get another one". Again we explained no. My husband had less than a quarter steak left. She was clearly not pleased but finally removed the plate. Everyone at our table ordered drinks when we originally sat down. No one was asked if they'd like another or waters refilled. As I mentioned before we were celebrating a birthday. Everyone at our table had finished their meals and were just looking around waiting on Anna to come by and check on us to bring our bill. Instead someone came and dropped a dessert off. More time passed, the dessert was picked over and then Anna walks up to the table and says "so stupid" in Spanish after she notices the dessert on the table. She tells us that she normally likes to bring the dessert because she sings to the table... that's odd because I could count on 1 hand how many times she came to our table. She then insists that we all sing happy birthday.... Over a picked over dessert... when all we wanted was to pay and leave. It was the most awkward birthday song I've ever heard. Anyway, after that we paid and thankfully left. To speak about the food, the steaks weren't anything special and the short rib was overly sweet. Our table totaled over $600 for horrible service an average meal. It was truly a disappointing experience. I will say the crab cakes were amazing. I should've ordered that x2 and called it a night.

From the moment we walked in, he made sure to ask us questions and give recommendations because it was our first time. He let us know that these were the best burgers in Orlando, and he wasn't lying. The food, although a little pricey, was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Bangin' Shrimp as an appetizer, which blew me away. The shrimp had a tempura fry to it, giving it a perfectly crispy crunch. The sauces that were drizzled on top helped to amplify the flavor of the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Shroom N Swiss burger. I love how thick and juicy the burger patties are. It's hard to find a good burger place that has thick patties, and The Whiskey delivers that meat. Another thing that blew me away was the mushroom that came on top. Usually, mushroom burgers have little slices of mushrooms, but this burger had a big fat slice of mushroom on top. And it tasted so good. This is a perfect atmosphere to come in, grab a couple drinks, eat good food, and maybe even catch a sports game or live music. Only thing I will say is that it may be a little loud for some, making it hard to hear conversations. But if you love a loud atmosphere, then this place is perfect!

Loved the vibes too. Next time I go will definitely be to catch the live music. I've already recommended this place to friends.

As you enter the hotel, the bar is to your right and as you walk down the hallway, you turn to the left by the staircase, and you are there. It's a nice, small bar with additional tables and chairs on the balcony. On the Sunday evening that we went, there was no waitress to take your order. You selected the menu from the bar area and then placed your order with the bartender. We ordered the Askur Gimlet ($19.50) and the Sparkling Hibiscus ($18.50) cocktails. My friend enjoyed her gimlet, and my hibiscus drink was nice, but a little sweet for me. The hibiscus flower in the glass was edible, which was cool to experience. Overall, nice place for a cocktail, but the prices are high and the drinks were not that strong. I know this is a Disney resort and you pay extra for the environment, but I expected a little more for $20+ drinks (with tax and tip) and minimal service. However, it's a quaint spot to stop in for the experience.

I have not been here in years, probably almost 15 years, so I was excited when some friends came to visit and wanted to head over here one last time. This is a dueling piano bar that takes music requests, and then the two piano players play and sing your song. It is located on Disney's Boardwalk Resort, on the boardwalk. There is a cost to get inside, which is $22. There are a few different discount codes that you can use, which we did, and it saved us $2 each. Once inside they have 2 bars, tables and chairs and then a lot of standing room. They open their doors at 7:00pm but music does not start until 8:00pm. I do wish it started right at 7, but the hour moved fast. And since it is closing soon, the line was long. We got in line about 30 minutes before opening, and we had almost 10-12 groups in front of us. We also had to save seats for 7 more people. They do have a sign that says you cannot do this, but we did. The manager at one point, asked how many additional chairs we needed, and she brought them to us. I think at this point; they probably don't care. We had 2 high top tables towards the back lower section. They do bring you your first cup of water along with popcorn. I thought the popcorn was a nice touch. If you want more water, they have big jugs on the bars, you can go and grab it yourself. The popcorn your server will refill for you. Our server was so nice, he brought extra waters to the table right away, so it looked like there were more people sitting, while we waited for our friends. He checked on us many times throughout the night. He really was on top of everything, and we didn't have to wait very long when our drinks were empty. Jellyrolls is very expensive. They have beer, a few wine options and then mixed drinks. They do have a full bar so they can also make you a drink not on the menu. There are a few specialty drinks on their menu along with their bucket style drinks. I will say I felt the drinks on their menu were very high, especially for Disney prices. We stuck with beer which was about $10.25 per bottle. Guiness for my husband and Corona for myself. I felt that was pretty reasonable considering being at Disney. The piano players play what is requested and they had hundreds of suggestions. You write your song request on the napkins and then you bring them up to the pianos, or your server can bring them. As with most piano bars, if you are tipping them with the song request, they will more than likely play it. I felt that they were picking and choosing songs. For most of the first hour I did not know the song or did not care for the song. I found myself actually sort of bored. They did a lot of older songs, and not many newer songs. At one point they sang some Disney songs, but it was mostly non-Disney. Its hard to tell in my photos but they did have hundreds of requests. I'm not sure why the songs chosen were not the best, as I said I was bored and looking at my phone. That was really the only negative. I think the excitement of this place also goes with who is in the audience. If they audience is engaged, it makes for a better experience. I will say it is extremely loud in here! It was so hard to talk to people at our table. The night we went, again, closing this month, it was packed. Someone at one point came over and said he had been standing the whole time, could I signal him when I was leaving. It was a strange request personally. I think if you are interested in going in the next couple weeks, you need to get here early. There are no questions that this place is not going to be packed. Make the effort, and go early, especially if you want a table. How do we get here? That is the other issue. Disney has made it almost impossible to park at the resorts without a reservation. If I am coming at 7:00 pm at night, I am clearly not trying to hop into the park and get free parking. I think they need to loosen their strings, especially for the Boardwalk. There is the Atlantic Dance Hall and Jellyrolls, open at night. If you do not have a reservation, you are not parking here. Park at Disney Springs and take a bus, just be mindful of when the last bus heads back to Disney Springs. You can also take an Uber, but I have heard, resorts are not even allowing Ubers to go in. I really think Disney needs to loosen the strings on parking especially at places with nighttime activities. All in all, Jellyrolls is fun but be prepared to spend lots of money. They charge at the door; drinks are expensive as well. It is sad that they are closing, they have been here for almost 30 years. I am very curious what will be replacing it. Disney does not have a ton of nighttime activities and they are about to lose one more. I would say if you can, check it out in the next couple weeks before it closes.

It's identical to Howl at the Moon if you have ever been there. They were located a Disney's Boardwalk Resort. There is a cost to get inside, which is $22. Once inside there are 2 bars, tables and chairs and then tons of standing room. The doors open at 7:00pm but music does not start until 8:00pm. We did have a line to get in, and waited about 30 minutes before opening, there were about 10-12 groups in front of us. We also had to save seats for 7 additional people. My wife got really nervous since they have a sign that says you cannot save tables, but we did anyway. At one point, the manager asked how many additional chairs we needed, and she brought them to us. So, we felt we were ok saving seats. I will say closer to 8:00pm, people were eyeballing our tables. They do bring you your first cup of water along with popcorn. This was Disney popcorn so delicious! I liked that they had popcorn, since there was no other food they offered. If you want more water, you had to go to the bars and get it yourself from the large jugs of water they had. The popcorn your server will refill for you. Our server was incredibly friendly, he brought extra waters to the table right away, so it looked like there were more people sitting, while we waited for our friends. He checked on us many many times throughout the night and was very much on top of checking on us, getting us more drinks when we needed it. Jellyrolls is very expensive, be prepared for that. They offer a full service bar, beer and wine. There were a few speciality drinks as well as larger bucket drinks. Because of the prices, we stayed with bottles of beer which was about $10.25 per bottle. The piano players play what is requested from the audience and there were hundreds of suggestions. You write your song request on the napkins and then you bring them up to the pianos, or your server can bring them. As with most piano bars, you have a better chance to get your song plated if you include money with it. They work off tips. I felt that they were picking and choosing songs and for most of the first hour I did not know the song or did not care for the song. My wife and I were actually board and just talked to our friends, we were not even really paying attention. This is very Disney-fied, so no cursing or swearing or inappropriate songs. They did a lot of older songs, and not many newer songs and at one point played about 45 minutes of straight Disney songs. I will say that your experience is indictive of the audience. If they audience is engaged, it makes for a better experience. It's also worth noting that it is very loud inside. It was hard to talk to our group. All in all, Jellyrolls is fun but be prepared to spend lots of money. I do wish it had stayed at Disney as there is not a ton of nighttime adult things to do since Pleasure Island closed. I would be curious to find one in another state and see how they compare. I am very curious to see what is going to go in here. I haven't been here in a while but I am sad to see it go.

Their vibe is dark, nautical, it matches the resorts. Everything is navy blue, its pretty dark inside, but they do have a few TVs. My wife and I prefer to come here when we stay at the Yacht Club or the Beach club but we have visited a few times just to get away from the park. We also stop here when we like to do the Yacht and Beach crawl. If you are not staying here you will need to figure out a different way to access the resort. They offer a small selection of food, mostly which are appetizers, but there are a couple of items you could order as a meal. Last time we were here we did see a few people order food to go probably back to their room. Something my wife and I always have to order is the Parker House Rolls and Spreads which has three spreads and 5 rolls. The spreads include Bacon Jam, Pub Cheese, and Citrus Butter. These are so good and actually one time we stayed we ordered these every single night, they are that good. The spreads are great on their own but even better when you mix them. I would prefer the rolls to be hot but they are still great. We also ordered the Truffle Fries served with with Roasted Shallot Mayo and the meatballs which has a porcini and parmesan cream sauce, pickled mushrooms, and chive oil. Both are really delicious and easy to share or even have both as your meal. The last thing we ordered was the flatbread. They have a seasonal flatbread which was French onion soup but we found out they also offer just a pepperoni flatbread which is not on the menu. This was a great flatbread, really cheesy, great flavor, not too heavy on the pepperoni but really good overall. For drinks I really prefer to get order off the menu and get either a dirty martini or a Manhattan. They have a full bar and can do most drinks. My wife loves their wine particularly the Dr. Loosen, Dr. L. Riesling which she finds around Disney. She also enjoys a good lemon drop martini. Overall this is a great stop, it is one of my favorite lounges. It is comfy, dark, not super loud, they have great food options and great drinks. I would say stop by when you can and check it out!

We like to come here when we stay at the resort as well as just heading over when you want some relaxation with food and drinks. They do serve a small selection of food and specialty cocktails as well as beer and wine and a fully stocked bar. I have personally tried a couple of the specialty drinks as well as just ordered off the menu. I really prefer this lounge when staying at the resort, you can head down from your room and grab dinner and drinks and then head back. If you are not staying here you will need to get over to the resort in another way. On our last visit and actually every visit, my husband and I have to get the Parker House Rolls and Spreads which has three and includes the Bacon Jam, Pub Cheese, and Citrus Butter. These also come with 5 rolls. This is such a great snack, starter, whatever you want to call it. They are so good, the spreads are each delicious on their own but even better when you pair them together. My only thing would be the spreads should be not as cold, they are hard to spread on the rolls since they are cold and the rolls are also not warm. But it is minor. We also enjoy the Truffle Fries served with with Roasted Shallot Mayo. These are a good snack, very truffle heavy but still very good. If you are looking for something more substantial then I would recommend the Seasonal Market Flatbread which will vary. But what they also dont tell you if that they have a pepperoni flatbread not listed on the menu. We ordered the pepperoni last time and it was hot, crispy, had a great cheese pull and was really good. Solid flatbread. We also ordered the meatballs which has a porcini and parmesan cream sauce, pickled mushrooms, and chive oil. These were fantastic meatballs. I really enjoyed them. It had great flavor, and came with 4 meatballs. They also serve other food items such as a burger, wings and salads. The food is great. For drinks I really prefer to get what I love which is a lemon drop martini. I also enjoy some of the wines they offer. If you want a specialty cocktail then I would recommend the Seaworthy Breeze Absolut Vodka with Grapefruit and Cranberry Juices. It was a nice cocktail, not super sweet, but more on the tart side. Overall this is a great stop. We really enjoy sitting here an relaxing with some appetizers and cocktails. You can make a meal out of the food as well if you want. No reservation required, there have a decent amount of seating. I would say stop by and check it out.
