    We went here for Sunday brunch to celebrate my youngest daughter's thirteenth birthday as she is an aspiring pastry chef. The service was outstanding, Dylan was our server and he was very attentive. I saw prior reviews that weren't as favorable, but this is Disney and you are paying for service, ambiance and our brunch was fabulous. We are a family of 6 (2, adults, and 4 teens 13-18) and we bought an entire cake to go so I believe without the cake it was probably about $50/person, we had 3 appetizers (French baguette, warm butter croissant and the French toast bites), all specialty beverages and 6 entrees. 3 of my kids had waffle entrees, 1 had pancakes, my husband had the croque monsieur and I had the ham, rosemary and goat cheese quiche. Everything was fantastic and served in exquisite form. Dylan also graciously took pictures of us at the table and by the carousel in the center of the main dining room. In my mind, the visit was well worth a special occasion/vacation. The quiche was certainly the best I have ever had and paired well with the arugula salad. The rose cappuccino was definitely a unique treat and the cinnamon donut holes served with the matcha latte were divine.

    The service and the food was amazing. Bash at the bar was so much fun. The only issue is that the entire place is so loud.

    We had a wonderful experience at Summer House. We checked in for our reservation and were seated in less than five minutes. Our waitress was super kind accommodating, always checking to refill our water and asking if we needed anything. Food was fantastic! I had the sangria and the Cobb salad, my daughter had the pizza and mu husband had the caesar salad with ahi tuna. All delicious!!! Generous portion sizes. I will definitely will be coming back. 10/10

    We had a bit of a wait after our reservation time but overall the experience was great! It was fun listening to the band and watching the tap dancers. The food was amazing and Tarin gave excellent service. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they even brought him a complimentary dessert! Highly recommend!

    Wonderful dining experience. We met the Manager, Scott who was the nicest, friendliest person who went above and beyond to make our dinner so very special. You see....we lost our precious daughter, Jenna 20 months ago. It was sudden and traumatic. The Boathouse and the Fillet Mignon sliders were here favorite. Her last birthday Orlando celebration in February 2023 was so special. We lost her suddenly in June 2023. We live on Long Island, we visit 3 to 4 times per year and T.J. has always taken care of us. Thank you to the staff at Tje Boathouse, T.J. and Scott for helping us through our grief at Jenna's favorite restaurant. You help to heal my heart! Sincerely, Jayne Hudson💜💜💜
