Absolute worst service or I should say no service. My daughter and I went to this restaurant to try out the wine. We sat at the bar which was not crowded, probably between 5 to 10 people. We sat at the bar for 15 minutes before someone came over and offered water. He said that the bartender would be over shortly. Another 15 minutes went by and still no service. When we tried to signal the bartender, he literally looked through us as if we were invisible. So, we left. Went to the Irish Bar around the corner and got great service.
Pros:
Can't make a comment regarding the actual wine or food because we never had the opportunity to try it.Cons:

The food was decent but the service was not. They really need to step up their training.

The food and wine were both really good. However, our service was not the best. We were traveling with my daughter who is a toddler and our server seemed annoyed by her. She is high energy but pretty well-behaved. He did not offer us a children's menu so I didn't even know there was one, so my daughter ate the small plates with us. It was extremely crowded so we sat outside. Again the food and wine were both really good. I would not suggest going for a full meal but just to try some wine and eat some snacks. I would like to go back maybe with just my husband but I DO NOT plan on bringing my daughter back here. If you are looking for a date night location or a place to grab some good drinks and snacks, this might be a good option for you. If you are traveling with teens or kids, go elsewhere.
Pros:
Good food and drinksCons:

I was super excited to celebrate completing one of the runDisney 5Ks with family at Wine Bar George. 60 days before my arrival (62 days before my actual reservation), I dutifully logged in at 6am to make my dining reservations, including a lunch reservation at WBG after my planned 5K run.
My party arrived at the restaurant about 20-30 minutes EARLY! The entire main level was completely empty. When I checked in with the hostess, she proceeded to tell me there were no available tables. In a room full of empty tables.
Two of the people in my party have mobility/handicap issues and require low seating with backs on their chairs. While waiting for our table to be ready, the two who needed help sat at a table in the empty main level. The hostess proceeded to tell them that they couldn't sit there because those tables were \"reserved for guests with reservations\". 1) There are 8 empty tables in this room and 2) WE HAVE A RESERVATION.
The hostess finally identified a table for us on the upper level, but it was a high top table. So she was going to put us at a high top table but give us low back chairs. Anyone who has passed 6th grade math knows that this does not fundamentally, geometrically work.
Thankfully, our fairy godfather was working upstairs. The server who ended up waiting on us that afternoon intercepted us as we were walking to our geometrically challenged table situation and offered us another table. A regular height table. with chairs. that had backs. We were not in his regular section but he went out of his way to intercept the insanity and take care of us.
We finally sat down to peruse the menu. The wines were quite overpriced. The small plates were, as defined, small. Our server was, truly our fairy godfather (who was well tipped for his efforts, by the way) and took great care of us, but the menu lacked variety and felt overpriced and pretentious.
Our server was great - he did the best he could to rectify the situation but it started off awful and just didn't get great. I was excited to try this restaurant on an adults only trip to Disney. I definitely would not bring my family, nor do I recommend it to others.
Oh and when we left.. the tables downstairs were still empty.
Pros:
My fairy godfather did his best to save the day!Cons:
Rude staff at host station (not attentive to guest needs). Hostess insisted on seating us at a high top table with low chairs. Small plates are small. Limited menu. Wine feels overpriced. Not for picky eaters or those with special needs.Reviewed by DisneyLifeEqualsHappyWife Review Date: 12/04/2021

The food here was absolutely delicious, but pricey for the portion size. We went hoping to serve our family of four (4 and 5 year old kids at the time) tapas style. We spent more than we wanted and the adults left still hungry. We also had heard it was ok to take kids there, so we took the plunge, but felt awkward with most people there having a romantic date. (To clarify though, the servers were very kind to our kids) We won’t be dining there again with family, but maybe as a date night someday.

Hands down the worst restaurant I have ever been to on property. They’re rude, careless and overpriced. My sisters meal came out way before mine. She was done with hers before our absent waiter came out to check on us. He had forgot my order. Nothing was done to make a right. When mine finally came out, it was cold. The wine also tasted watered down somehow. Please listen to my advice… SKIP IT!

I need to begin this review by questioning what we envisioned WBG to be. We were under the impression that this was a mid-range to fine dining restaurant. It is not. It is a bar. So maybe our expectations were off from the start.
Not sure why WBG get such a high rating...By far our worse dining experience on this trip. Family dinners on this trip were at The Boathouse, Yak and Yeti and Bosphorous (off Disney Property) and all were significantly better than WBG in regards to service and food.
We had reservations for dinner, arrived about 30 minutes early. Asked to be seated in what was a restaurant that was maybe 50% full. First stop, high top by the front door at the downstairs bar...we asked for a non-high top table. After a minute we were directed upstairs to a rather small table that would seat 2 people at best (if eating) 4 people (if only drinking). There were 4 of us I looked at the gentlemen Host trying to seat us at this tiny table and said "There is no way this table is going to work." Why do I have to tell the host this, well he sat us near the bar upstairs while very nice tables in the dining area remained vacant.
Throughout the night we watched this same host attempt to seat parties of 4 guests at this tiny table; they all asked to be moved. I don't understand...either poorly trained or poorly managed.
As far as food, we ordered many small plates and one main. The main, Skirt Steak, was very good and the best thing we ate, the Saganaki was also very tasty and a good quality cheese...everything else was mediocre...with the meatballs being a disappointment.
Since we read all the positive reviews about WBG and saw it's high rating we made two reservations before our trip. One was for Tuesday evening the other for Thursday evening (party of 6). Needless to say only the two who were not at the first dinner visited on Thursday evening. The original four of us agreed that we were not going to deal with a host who walks you around from one crappy table to the next in order to have an average meal.
Our other two family members who went on Thursday evening ultimately agreed with our assessment...many better dining options in Disney Springs.
Pros:
Well stocked bar, unique drinks and solid wine selection.Cons:

We were there for our first time on Monday August 14th. What a great night my husband and I had. Our server,Chis, was wonderful!!! His suggestions were right on every time. It is a night out that I will always remember. The meatballs were the best I have every had and I would love to get the recipe. I ordered another round after having the first one. Just so good
Pros:
Love the whole experience of the night. Again the meatballs are so good.Cons:

Amazing wine experience here. Server was wonderful, as was the sommelier, who quickly whisked away and replaced one sample which had turned just a bit. Food selection was limited, bit what they had was quite good. But the star of the show here is the wine selection, which was quite impressive. Can't wait to go back.
Pros:
Amazing wine, and pretty good food; great serviceCons:

The food is very good and easy to share. They’re small plates so maybe order your top 3 picks and share. If you go you have to get the mac and cheese bites
