The entire experience was excellent from start to finish. The bartenders and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the menu had so many great options. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller and raw oysters -- all from New Orleans -- and they were absolutely delicious. Next time, I would definitely try the fried oysters as well. I had the crab cake, which was huge and packed with crab meat with very little filler, exactly how a great crab cake should be. My husband ordered the fish tacos, and they were equally delicious. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely return for dinner again if we are ever back in the area!

Menu can be a bit overwhelming which is not necessarily a bad thing. We decided to do the Bite 30 menu. For one of the meals we got the crab cake as course 1, and the lobster tail as course 2. For the other meal we got the peel and eat shrimp and the grouper. We also added a 1/2 dozen order of oysters. Sides included corn on the cob, okra, mashed potatoes, and fries. Food was decent, value was mid. For the quality of the food, prices could stand to be slightly lower. Bloody Marys were the best value at $5 each on happy hour, but the taste was not great.

They have an oversized bar counter and many comfortable lounge chairs and sofas. We had a business meeting here before dinner, so we only ordered a charcuterie board to go with our drinks. I opted for a blueberry lemonade mocktail, which was absolutely delicious! When the bar is packed, the noise level is very high. It has a vaulted ceiling, which carries sound. There were only 2 waitresses for the entire place, so the wait was rather long, but we received good service. I felt the menu items were reasonably priced. My mocktail was $12 and the charcuterie board was $19, just to give you an idea. I definitely recommend this bar! Great food and drinks, beautiful ambiance!

But they could really improve in the food and the service. Food was just ok. Mahi Mahi was overcooked, wild rice tasted like industrialized food. My wife's steak was good, calamari was ok but the dipping sauce was definitely taken out of a jar bought at the supermarket. Service also needs improvement. Anna was our server, and she didn't smile one single time. And it was a very rushed service, something hard when you have kids. Overall, I might come back to try again because of the beautiful view and live music. And with no expectations for the food.

I sat at the bar, greeted the bartender Nicholas, and ordered some Bang Bang Shrimp with an espresso martini. As I was enjoying my appetizer and cocktail, I happened to mention my upcoming birthday to Nicholas. In response, he told me to save room for dessert, offering me a choice between a brownie or cheesecake. Within a few minutes, Nicholas came back holding a plate of a thick piece of cheesecake topped with cherry compote and a lit candle. I was touched by the sentiment; the cheesecake was truly decadent and the cherry compote was sweet and delicious. Thank you for making the eve of my birthday feel a bit special; I appreciate you, Bonefish Grill.

Transported into another realm, Trader Sam's Grog Grotto is a Jungle-cruised tiki bar with decor upon decor and epic theming! As certain drinks are ordered, the waitresses and bartenders have skits to do with squirt guns, interactive decor pieces, and chants for the entire room to repeat! You are fully immersed into the experience with fake windows showing volcanos and jungle views, an octopus tentacle reaching in through a port hole and around the ceiling beams, and tons of details that are just true to Disney's excellence. We grabbed a reservation before dinner and enjoyed the: Skipper Sipper - fresh lime and mint perfume the tropical juices with the zippy pops of soda water Polynesian Punch - POG with Ginger Beer! It sounds like a them park duo made for greatness. Flavor was on point and extremely refreshing! If you are around for an afternoon or staying at the Polynesian, snag a waitlist spot and enjoy this niche but epic experience!

Trader Sam's is located at the Polynesian Resort near Magic Kingdom. You are able to park here if…read moreyou have a dining reservation at one of the other restaurants, they do not take reservations, only walk up. If you are not wanting to dine at the resort, you can take a bus or monorail from Magic Kingdom. It has been a while since I did a review and we have been here quite a few times over the last year. I felt it was time to update. I have a love hate with this place, I used to love it, then we had some negative experiences however, the last few visits have been great. They now open early at 11am which is really great as it gets so busy! We love to stop here when doing a monorail crawl but also recently took my mom and dad here. You need to add your name to the list and your wait can be different all the time. It really depends on how many names are on the list. I will say that larger groups tend to wait much longer. If you are a smaller group such as 2, and are seated at a table for 4, just know that they will seat you with others. MY biggest issue with this place is I believe it should have a time limit. It is incredibly small inside and we have waited over 3 hours to go in. I just feel if Beak and Barrell at Magic and Oga's at Studios has a time limit, they need one here. Maybe bump it to 60 minutes. The problem comes with that there is so much to see and interactions happening with drinks being ordered that you could literally sit in there for hours and order 1 drink. We have had many drinks on the menu including wine and beer. I am not in love with all their drinks, they are very rum heavy and can be very sweet and full of juice, however there are some good ones. I have also tried just wine which is also fine. My husband frequently orders the beer flight which includes 3 different types of Kona beer. Some of my favorite cocktails are the Rosita's Margarita, which is Casamigos reposado tequila, bols orange curacao liqueur, fresh lime juice, falernum and organic agave nectar. It is really good but can be sour if not made correct. Don't be afraid if that happens to ask them to add a little extra sweetener. I also enjoy the Mosquito Mojito which has Bacardi Dragonberry Rum, Organic Agave Nectar, Falernum, Mint, and Fresh Lime Juice topped with Soda Water. It is a classic mojito but can also end up being sour. I usually ask for a little extra nectar. They also serve food. We love the food here and they have actually updated their menu recently. Our favorite item is the Thai Chicken Flatbread with bacon and peanut sauce which is delicious and the Pan-Fried Dumplings. They have a new Shrimp and Plantain Roll which looks great and we will be trying it next time. Some of their drinks come with an interactive experience including the Uh-Oa, the Nautilus, the Hippopoto Mai-Tai and the Krakatoa Punch. And anyone who orders it, gets to sort of take part in the interactive experience. The whole lounge has effects. Would I recommend this yes. I am torn if this is a 4 or a 3. The wait is ridiculous at times, but it is really fun. I prefer the table seats as opposed to the bar or high tops personally and you cannot really ask to sit somewhere. I do think this needs to be expanded. Outside they have a different version or Trader Sam's, same menu no interactivities. They need to take that over and make this lounge much much larger. I would say check it out if you can get it or dont mind waiting. Put your name on the list and go to a different bar and wait!
