    Lovely experience. My guest was treated royally for her birthday, including a special dessert. It is unfortunate that many people dress so slovenly when attending this quality setting. Portions are large. Lots of leftovers.

    It’s been a few years since our last visit and our experience did not disappoint! My wife, son, and I visited this location while staying at Boardwalk resort. We all enjoyed our meals and were impressed by the overall service provided by the wait staff especially Alessandro who went out of his way to make our evening enjoyable. The chef provided appetizers and limoncello dessert were delicious surprises. We can’t wait to return again! Thanks II Mulino 🇮🇹🍝❤️

    What a great evening! Fine service from Geo, never a glass empty or a single thing missed. A wonderful representative of your team, truly a service professional! Big kudos to Colleen at the hostess stand, made our evening by truly looking out for our special requests! Treated us like family. Food was superb, hot fresh and tasty even with a very full, busy restaurant. Loved the holiday drink menu too. The Boathouse is our favorite restaurant and we will continue to come back.

    I must say — the STK Orlando is the best restaurant in the Disney Springs area! I surprised my mom with a brunch and Cirque show so I made reservations here. It was the best dining experience I’ve had in a while! The meal was beyond delectable. I ordered the filet mignon with eggs and French toast and mom ordered the Wagyu Burger. Not only was the food amazing, we were seated by the opening to the porch and the DJ was bumping an awesome setlist. Shout out to Shane for being a great server, and special thanks to the manager, John, who ensured we had a great experience. I cannot wait to get back soon and check out the rest of the menu!
