My wife and I ate here as part of the Jungle Book package. the package prices was much cheaper than if we had eaten here with regular menu prices. You get the same menu so it really is a great deal. Our waitress April was fantastic, she made great recommendations based on our different taste in food. My wife had the wagyu strip loin and short rib. It came too rare for her taste so April brought it back to the kitchen and came back with it perfect. I had the duck breast which was delicious. The popcorn lobster curried soup was not too spicy and very tasty. The grilled octopus was comparable to some I had eaten fresh from the Mediterranean. We will definitely eat here again when the River of Light show is open.

My wife and I ate a late lunch/early dinner here on June 3rd. There were only a few other diners in the restaurant so we were able to sit and enjoy the view and our server told us to relax and enjoy. Our server Zachariah was very friendly and helpful. My wife is a picky eater but she loved the chicken and steak kabobs. I went with two small plates instead of an entree. The calamari was excellent and the order size was much greater than I expected for a small plate. Included with the order were also deep fried peppers which had a nice kick. The merguez lamb sausages were very flavorful and I will order again. After we finished eating the hostess came over to talk with us . The personal attention and hospitality of the staff was a nice change from the usual hurry up at many restaurants. We will definitely go back.

We are DVC members and had reservations for a split stay 3 days in a studio and then 3 days in 1 bedroom (couldn't get one room for the week all booked) at the Boardwalk the studio had Boardwalk view well we were on the 5th floor and facing the Boardwalk but the balcony was all wood wall and so high I couldn't see down so I called the front desk and in 30 mins we got a call back and were given a 1 bedroom with pool and garden view for the week. This was so wonderful, room was great redone and fresh and new. The people at the Boardwalk are so wonderful especially Queniveer she was so kind and helpful. But the Boardwalk staff are and have been so accommodating any time we had issues. Love staying there
Pros:
Room updates are beautiful so accommodatingCons:

Due to the heat and threat of storms my wife and I decided to watch the fireworks from here instead. The service was excellent. Very attentive waitress. The flatbread pizza was very good and reasonably priced. The habenero lime margaritas were excellent, good Patron tequila with a slight heat, not overly spicy. The view of the fireworks from the deck was fantastic. Be aware that check in is required on the first floor of the Bay Tower. A cast member has to activate the elevator for you. We came on the monorail from the Grand Floridian Villas and tried to go up from the 5th floor. Elevators will not go to lounge from there. You must take elevator down to the first and then go back up.

As DVC members almost every detail about a trip to the Boardwalk Villas is perfect. With boat transportation to 2/4 Disney theme parks and magnificent grounds and pools you really can't go wrong. The nightlife is unparalleled with an array of table service restaurants, quick service restaurants and food carts and stores. Live entertainment is common and if you're lucky you might be able to watch Illumination fireworks right from your balcony. The rooms have been recently renovated and look beautiful. Only complaint is the joint bus transportation to Animal and Magic Kingdom that is shared with the 4 other surrounding resorts.
With over 20 WDW vacations under our belt at 10 different on property resorts, the Boardwalk Villas are our favorite.

ate here 5/17. Arrived early and was seated immediately and worked out because a storm came and people were all trying to get in early. Waiter was only attentive to select family members. Talked us into trying imported water from Italy which then cost $8 and taste just like bottled water. on dp so no apps, wanted to try pizza but could not get salad option that we all agreed on. I had candele it was bland and very small portion. dd7 got spaghetti it had turkey meatballs which she wouldn't eat. the sauce was bland, dh had linguini scoglio and he like it It actually was a good portion. We were never served bread and it took forever to get our check. Tried it but probably will not return.

ate here 5/17 party of 6. We arrived on time and was seated immediately. As far as I could see there were only 4 other families in the entire place. Characters came out right away and was able to get plenty of pics. Love this restaurant and the family style meal. The cinnamon bake was awesome and everyone had seconds. The freshfruit was ripe and all the food came hot and the waitress was terrific with refilling beverages and food. We were able to finish quickly and was the first in line to see Joy and Sadness at the meet n greet. Would do this again.

Columbia Harbor House is on our list of must quick service restaurants in MK. The shrimp platter is a real deal although I would love to try the lobster roll which has huge chunks of lobster.
Members of my family have also had the fish and it is also good. Highly recommend!

party of 6 ate here 5/20 arrived a few minutes late but was seated right away. We have ate here many times before and love this restaurant. We had breakfast a few days before so already had out autographs done so just a matter of pics with party who missed before. Food this time not as great. They had a different salad dressing and no one really cared for it, usually we have seconds of it but not this time. We also didn't get any fish. I thought this odd as we have always got fish so again was disappointed. In the past dd7 would get chicken legs as her meat but not this time. Was told that kids can eat from adult meal which I thought kids did anyway but she was looking forward to the chicken leg. Dessert was ok my kids not like cranberries so just a few of us ate it. I would recommend this for everyone to try but since we have ate here so many times I think we will explore other options
