Another first visit during my most recent trip. Excellent lunch of macaroni and cheese balls and a chicken salad sandwich. I drank a French wine that was a little drier than I normally like but It went well with chicken salad. My waitress was very attentive and George came over to visit. I was amazed at how much he was hustling around the place. All those bottles of wine were so impressive. I will be going back!
Pros:
Good food, wine selection, atmosphereCons:

Having heard so much about George Miliotes and the selection of wines, this became a must for us on our trip. We were not disappointed by anything. The check-in was flawless, didn't like the first table in the middle of the rhombus it was changed immediately, the server was unbelievable, the wine incredible and the food a lot for 2 people. The whole experience was wonderful. We have gone back 3 other times already over the last few months.

Not a place for children, having only 3 main courses can be an issue for some.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 04/06/2021

Great bartenders and small plates. Saganaki on fire is cool but doesn’t taste great. Overall great experience especially for adult groups

Went here for dinner June 2021. Had the hummus as an appetizer and the sea bass for dinner. I thought both were fantastic. We needed some more bread and cucumbers with the hummus and they were brought right out. Our server Courtney was fantastic and deboned the fish in front of us perfectly. The fish was the star and was extremely moist and cooked perfectly. While the beans that came with the fish weren’t my favorite, I did enjoy the vegetables that came with it. We also ordered my 3 year old the Mac and cheese with French fries. While the fries were on the salty side, I did eat his Mac and cheese leftovers back at the hotel. I also had the frozen dole whip drink which was AMAZING. I would come back and try different dishes as everything that came out to the surrounding tables also looked delicious.
Pros:
Food was good, service was greatCons:

Dropped in on opening week in May. Had just dined elsewhere so was only planning to stop in to look at decor. Every server we encountered was so willing to assist us. We walked upstairs and a waiter convinced us to 'hang out for awhile.' We wound up getting glasses of wine anyways. Was sooooo impressed at the wine list. Would definitely come back and order an appetizer and hang out - lots of different seating - couches, bar stools, low bar area, high bar area. Loved the cork stairs!
Pros:
Atmosphere; great wine list; good pricingCons:

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.

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

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:

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:
crowded (on a weekend), not kid friendly, expensiveReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/26/2024

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.
