My husband and I visited for the first time on my birthday in December. It was extremely hard, and I mean extremely hard to get a reservation. At our 60 day “dining opening” for our trip they were all gone, but with diligent checking for over a month I was able to secure a lunch reservation. We loved how hidden and exclusive it felt when arriving to the restaurant and the theming was awesome- it out of this world if you will. It fits very well in Epcot. We loved the food (we both had Tuna appetizer and steak entree) and both had a few sparkly cocktails that did not disappoint. Giving 9 stars because my husband was disappointed the bathrooms were not themed, and because of how hard it is to obtain a reservation here.
Pros:
Theming, food is awesomeCons:

we were so happy to get reservations for the lounge. the calamari is amazing! our kids ate every single bite of them. the kids drinks are really sweet but the trading cards were such a huge hit. the staff was the best part by far! they went above and beyond to ensure we could have a great experience. we were a group of 4 but had to split up into two groups of 2 to get reservations. the staff worked to get us tables next to each other and I was just as good as having 1 table for 4!
Pros:
the staff, the food and the elevator rideCons:
it is pricey but the experience made up for it. we spent about $110 on 5 drinks and 2 orders of calamariReviewed by AnnaL Review Date: 01/08/2022

My husband and I dined in the lounge area of Space 220 on New Years Eve.
Pros:
We loved the variety of options of drinks and appetizers! We ordered the chicken and waffles as well as the deviled eggs. Both were delicious!! Service was great!Cons:
I wish all of the appetizers were available to order in the lounge area as I would’ve liked to try on of the salads available on the dinner menu.Reviewed by BeckyC Review Date: 01/08/2022

Had an out of this world experience at Space 220 this past December with my husband! Loved the cauliflower and tuna appetizers!

I love how immersive this new restaurant is in Epcot. Not only is the food great but the atmosphere is wonderful. A good range of seafood, regular grilled meals, and great items for the kids, there is something here for everybody. The price is fairly expensive, however it is worth it for both the atmosphere, dining, and cast members being so great in bringing you closer to feeling like you are actually in space.
Pros:
Something for everybody Immersive land and atmosphere Newer restaurantCons:

we got a last minute (2 days prior) rsvp for the lounge area. It worked out well as you can order from lounge menu and not pay for the prix fix. We split two appetizers and had a dessert. Our server was very attentive and Brandon who was at the entrance was super friendly.
Pros:
like the lounge and would do that again. The trip "up" was fun as was the trip "down"Cons:

The atmosphere was out of this world (pun very much intended)! The food was just okay and took over two hours from our reservation until we left but our 5 year old literally thinks he has been to space and that’s priceless!
Pros:
Very unique atmosphere and the servers were amazing!Cons:
Huge cost for mediocre food. My husband enjoyed his quick service burger more than the burger there. Took a large chunk out of our day.Reviewed by DonGlover Review Date: 12/18/2021

We scored a late lunch for Saturday 12/11. This was one of our most anticipated meals of the trip. For an appetizer, we had the calamari which was good, but the calamari at the Via Napoli was far superior. We both had the steak which was superb.
The theming was truly magnificent and the service very good.
I will be going back.
Pros:
Theming and great food.Cons:
Very high price with a prefix menu.Reviewed by FleurDeLys Review Date: 12/13/2021

We were lucky enough to get a walk-up dining reservation - we arrived around opening time to get on a waiting list for the lounge (the process has since changed). We sat right by the "window", but I think the views would be better from a table in the center of the restaurant so you could see all the views. The sights out the windows were interesting, but repetitive. Our waiter was sub-standard - not knowledgable, and not really engaged in being part of our space experience. He did, however, explain how the view changes from day to night according to real sunset times (including daylight savings time shifts). Our entree arrived as we were taking our fist bites of the appetizer/salad course; we stated that we were surprised by the rapid timing, but the waiter didn't offer to do anything, and we chose to keep our entrees so they wouldn't get cold. The manager was doing his obligatory rounds, speaking to each table; he bluntly asked us how our food was tasted, but walked away as we started to answer. Weird.The food and drinks were well presented and attractive, but the quality was just okay. I am glad we went, but there are better dining experiences in Epcot at this price point. The theming is very good (but not excellent), but the whole experience did not live up to the hype. This restaurant is not operated by Disney, and it really shows in the staff performance.
Pros:
the space elevator experience, the food is attractively space-themedCons:
high price, poor service, just-okay food qualityReviewed by Scarr0608 Review Date: 12/13/2021

My friends and I were really excited to eat in space, but our expectations weren't super high. Walking into the elevator to go to space was by far the best part of the whole experience. Seeing the space lettuce was also oddly exciting. The screen showing space was really cool, but the novelty quickly wore off. Food was good. Not amazing, not spectacular, but prepared well and solid. It's really hard to get excited over basic dishes though in Epcot where the food is amazing. If this was in the Magic Kingdom, it may have more of an impact. Overall, glad we ate here, but prob won't again. Def a one and done experience particularly for the price
