I sent to Space 220 Lounge back in mid-December. It was a fun experience, but there were a few things that sort of missed the mark for me. They give you an admission ticket, which is fun and then you board the Stellar-vator. That was a great part of the experience. The restaurant is neat, but the astronauts seem so small and you can't always see them when they pass from one window to the next if they're moving. We were trying to get to the Candlelight Processional, so we just got a drink each. I got the Stargarita and it was very good. My friend got the Planetary Punch which she going too sweet, but the waitress did warn us about that. This may seem silly, but what I find the most disappointing was the bathroom. When I walked in there, I was expecting a unique toilet or even cool mirrors or light fixtures. It was all very underwhelming. It seemed like such a simple, missed opportunity for theming. My friend even commented that the soaps dispensers were manual. I thought this was space! It was fun to go to the restaurant, especially with it being so new, but I don't know that I would want to spend a lot of money to do so. My friend also commented that the restaurant should rotate or at least appear to.
Pros:
Stellar-vator was neat. Drinks were good.Cons:
Needed more theming in all areas.Reviewed by Debyiluvsdisney1 Review Date: 01/17/2022

We were lucky to get lunch reservations last week, the entire experience is a must. However we thought the food was not worth the price. The pop rock drink was fun. We have talked about trying it again for dinner but maybe in a few months or a year. The elevator and views were definitely the wow factor here not the food.
Pros:
Atmosphere, location, friendly serviceCons:
Price, portions, hard to get reservations, pre fixeReviewed by csfranklin Review Date: 01/13/2022

My family of four ate here over the 50th celebration weekend in October 0f 2021. There were no reservations to be had, so I frequently checked to see if anyone cancelled last minute. As we were outside of Oga's Cantina, I happened to find one! We were able to dine here the next day for lunch. The ride "up" to the restaurant was amazing! To see the lettuce window and other space decorations once we arrived was really neat. The teens in our group ordered the Moon Rocks drink in order to get the collectable cards. They loved how the Pop Rocks made it fizz and jump around. I had the Planetary Punch, and it was excellent! My husband started with the Blue Moon Cauliflower and the rest of us had the Space Greens. All of it was a great, light start to the main course. Three of us chose the burger with fried potato wedges, and one asked for the flat iron steak with smashed fingerling potatoes. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious! The waiter noticed that it was a birthday celebration and brought out a complimentary slice of cake to end our meal. Everything from the service, to the atmosphere, to the food was really well done! We consider it a one and done due to the cost, but we definitely would recommend it!
Pros:
Cool atmosphere, delicious food, special experienceCons:

I loved almost everything about this restaurant. The food was beautiful and tasted great. We had excellent service. My daughter (12) is super picky so they gave her an adult size portion of chicken tenders and fries along with her appetizer. We went for lunch and it was very expensive but we had drinks and dessert. I’m not sure I could justify going here every time because of the expense but for a one and done experience or a special occasion, I could justify it. I highly recommend the carrot cake and the galactic punch!
Pros:
Cool atmosphere Beautiful food Great serviceCons:
My only con was the cost. It is REALLY expensive and we went for lunch (but did get drinks and dessert).Reviewed by dopeygirl5 Review Date: 01/11/2022

We visited Space220 during our November 2021 trip. We were so excited to try this new restaurant! Our family of three enjoyed the atmosphere of dining in space, our server was outstanding, and the food was fun! Our favorite parts of the meal were the calamari, the short rib, the duo of duck, and the chocolate mousse. It was a very expensive meal-- but it was a nice treat to end our EPCOT day. We never felt rushed by our waiter and got to see lots of the fun Easter eggs go past us in the windows.
Pros:
Unique dining experience, fun cocktails/mocktails, great serviceCons:
Expensive, Prix-fixe menu, Hard to get a reservationReviewed by PandaCakes Review Date: 01/11/2022

For $55/person for lunch, it's just not worth it. Feels exclusive considering how hard it is to get a reservation, but overall the experience and the food was pretty disappointing.
The Space Elevator was by far the coolest part of the entire experience, but that only lasts a few seconds... Once you're inside the restaurant, the view from space is cool, but not worth holding your attention for longer than a few minutes. I think this would be better off as a walk through attraction rather than a restaurant.
As for the food, that was just ok... we went for lunch and our group got the calamari, burrata, and cauliflower for appetizers. The best at our table was the calamari. But even that was pretty standard. For entrees we got salmon, tuna, and flat iron steak. The salmon dish was room temperature, not hot or even warm which was not a good experience. The tune and steak were ok.. but nothing special.
I'm all for going to a restaurant for the ambiance and the experience, and have the food be a side note, but this restaurant just doesn't warrant it.
Pros:
It's a neat place to sit down and get away from the Disney World crowds. The experience is neat and unlike anything else Disney has to offer.Cons:
The cool parts of this restaurant don't leave a lasting impression. The food was absolutely not worth the price. You're much better off eating around the world or experiencing the festivals.Reviewed by DanielleTagarelli Review Date: 01/11/2022

My husband and I went here in November. Couldn’t get a reservation, but went to the restaurant and got a table at the bar since we are both over 21. If you have people under 21, this is where you can also go to for the lounge area. Sitting at the bar or lounge, you can order off of the lounge menu or do the prefix dinner. We opted to not spend the money on the prefix and ordered two things off of the lounge menu. We also ordered 1 drink each, and because it was our anniversary we ordered the cheesecake to share. The cheesecake was the best part of the entire meal, I would go back just for that! The food was really good, but I feel as though it was a little pricy for what we got. Very much enjoyed the food and the ambiance, the elevator ride up was so cool and I loved the windows and feel like you are actually in space. All in all I really enjoyed it, we would go back for special occasions, but may not go every trip.
Pros:
Ambiance, food was good, cheesecake was amazing, drinksCons:
Pretty pricey, even for Disney standards for what you getReviewed by Jen1203 Review Date: 01/11/2022

Our family of four dined here for lunch the day after Christmas 2021- my 4 yr old and 9 yr old loved the entire experience! Cast members did a wonderful job of keeping with theming; and we felt totally submersed into the space storyline. Husband had the Neptune Tartare and I had the Big Bang mozzarella for appetizers; both were nicely presented and delicious. Good portions. Kiddos had the chicken dish and the mac and cheese for their entrees- nothing too fancy; just regular Disney type kid meals. As for the adult entrees; we both picked the flat iron steak (coffee rubbed). It did not disappoint! I feel like it was comparable to a Yachtsman steak. Not the best on property in our opinion- but still great quality. Since it’s a pricey experience, try to plan your day so it’s not a rushed meal. Take it all in- and request a table near the window if you have kids. The best part for our children was watching the astronauts and space crafts float by…
Pros:
Wonderful theming, kid friendly!Cons:

My husband and I absolutely love Space220! From the atmosphere to the food to the awesome staff it’s definitely a must do in Epcot. We had the Lunch which consists of 1 Lift-Off( Appetizer) + Star Course( Entree). My husband had the Blue moon Cauliflower( Lift-Off), the Bluehouse Salmon(Entree) and Milky Way drink. I had the Big Bang Burrata( Lift-Off), the Terra-Bolognese( Entree) and Lightyear lemonade. Everything was excellent! I highly recommend checking Space220 out!
