    We came here on one of the busiest days of the year, checked in early, and went to the dock bar out back to wait for a table. The bar was busy but had enough seats for our large party. Service was friendly and quick. We enjoyed a round of drinks before our table was ready and we moved inside. We were sat at exactly our reservation time. Server was great, and attentive. Food and drinks were outstanding and the vibe of the restaurant was perfect. Definitely want to return in the future and will always recommend to friends.

    The food is always great there.Definitely very expensive but worth it. Alexa our server was a True Professional. This particular STK in Disney Springs is in my top 5 for all of Florida. My only negative is the music can be a little loud and we only heard 2 Christmas songs all of our 2 hour Christmas Day Dinner.

    Very popular and busy restaurant, we made reservations ahead of the time, but the check in was still a bit messy. Service was great, she was very helpful and on task. There were 3 of us and we ordered a sushi platter, Pekin Duck for 2, and appetizers including ribs and shishito peppers. The sushi was OK, but the duck and ribs were amazing. The duck was perfectly toasted with crispy skin and very tender meat. The menu and taste is more tailored to American taste. Definitely highly recommend and make sure make reservations ahead of the time. They also have a casual Street Food stall outside, very interesting concept for quick bites.

    The food is excellent. I frequently can't decide whether I prefer the Fish & Chips (which is not greasy, but fresh and tasty), the Shepherd's Pie (which is very tasty and isn't overwhelmed by a large amount of crust), or the Fish Chowder (rich and creamy). My wife has the same problem with the Raglan Risotto (which she exclaims over every time she has it), the Shepherd's Pie or the Cider Salmon. And the chocolate lava cake for dessert is simply outstanding.
