    My spouse and I had a lovely dinner. I ordered their squash ravioli special with pieces of lobster and shrimp and the portion was perfect, the sauce was so lite and delicious. No take home needed. My husband had the Jambalaya and was very pleased with just enough spice and the ingredients we perfect. Our server was very attentive and was more than happy to introduce some wine I had not tried. My husband had the Coopershawk beer and was also very pleased. Overall experience was wonderful!!

    We’ve lived in downtown Orlando for years and finally tried Kres for the first time. It exceeded expectations with incredible service and delicious food. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and I highly recommend the ribeye. The Kres espresso martini was the perfect start to our meal. Our server was very attentive, efficient, and offered great menu suggestions. She also ensured we weren’t late to a work event I had that evening. Overall a lovely dinner and we’ll definitely be returning!

    Tyl was one of the best waitress/waiters we've had the pleasure of meeting: She's extremely efficient, knowledgeable and efficient. When we asked for her opinion on various selections on the menu, she knew exactly what she thought for our tastes. Tyl is a major asset to both the restaurant and the brand. The food is always the same quality as aspected. We highly recommend both The Broadside Restaurant and Tyl . You won't be disappointed

    A restaurant with upscale quality that’s alright to enter in jeans and a t-shirt, with luxurious options like wagyu beef and more familiar picks like California rolls with real crab and spicy tuna rolls with good quality tuna, not the chopped up stuff overloaded with mayo. Their sticky ribs are a highlight, crunchy and fall off the bone tender with the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and richness. Many people come back just for the ribs, we are some of those people. The lobster noodles are amazing, the ramen is yummy, and if you partake the bar has lots of really unique and exciting beverages. If you don’t partake at the bar, good for you! More power to you! They have some really tasty non-alcoholic beverages, I LOVE their lychee lemonade. Overall this is a crown jewel at Disney Springs and a must try. Make reservations, they get full, if they are full check out their street food counter. You’ll never have a bad meal at Morimoto’s.

    Our starter of Harvest corn soup was delicious; the creamed soup was topped with corn relish and a few kernels of popcorn, which added a very different twist to the overall taste. We had scallops with pork belly and zaatar coated cobia, both of which were cooked to perfection. Dessert consisted of chocolate mousse, which was a “dry” version of mousse and a glass of house made limoncello, which unfortunately tasted more like lemon flavored water. We could have done without the mousse or the limoncello. The noise level was high in large part due to a family with children having dinner. The service was excellent! We would definitely return.
