Meh. Was in Orlando for a conference so my wife and I snuck over to Disney Springs for a dinner. We were excited to try a new place. Disappointing. Check-in process was confusing. Confirmed our reservations at the outdoor hostess stand, and told to stay nearby. As nothing happened for a while, we wandered inside, and checked with the hostess stand inside, and were seated right away. Odd.
Ordered an appetizer and two entrees. Less than 5 minutes later, the entrees arrived. No appetizer. We canceled our appetizer, and the woman who brought the food said she would check in with our server to see what happened. Nothing from the server for the next half hour, when we got an apology but no explanation other than "Not sure how that happened!" I'm not sure what we expected, but it seemed insincere at best,
The entrees weren't good. My wife ordered the tacos, which immediately fell apart. I tried the chicken basket, and did not have high expectations, and the chicken fell short of even those.
Had a drink at the bar after dinner, with the idea of watching the drone show (spoiler alert: Disney set it up so you can't see the show from the bar, only from the seats outside which cost extra to book), and the bartender was very nice. And finally, we even tried a cookie from the cookie shop attached. Again - meh. It was big, but nothing special. PLenty of better choices at Disnet Springs. Choose accordingly.

we didn't actually go to the restaurant, we went to the cookie bar. The line was very long, but with good reason! I got the lemon cookie and a brown butter rice crispy treat. They were both HUGE and AMAZING! My friend also got two different cookies and agreed that they were absolutely delicious!!
