Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Lake Buena Vista

We went here for Sunday brunch to celebrate my youngest daughter's thirteenth birthday as she is an aspiring pastry chef. The service was outstanding, Dylan was our server and he was very attentive. I saw prior reviews that weren't as favorable, but this is Disney and you are paying for service, ambiance and our brunch was fabulous. We are a family of 6 (2, adults, and 4 teens 13-18) and we bought an entire cake to go so I believe without the cake it was probably about $50/person, we had 3 appetizers (French baguette, warm butter croissant and the French toast bites), all specialty beverages and 6 entrees. 3 of my kids had waffle entrees, 1 had pancakes, my husband had the croque monsieur and I had the ham, rosemary and goat cheese quiche. Everything was fantastic and served in exquisite form. Dylan also graciously took pictures of us at the table and by the carousel in the center of the main dining room. In my mind, the visit was well worth a special occasion/vacation. The quiche was certainly the best I have ever had and paired well with the arugula salad. The rose cappuccino was definitely a unique treat and the cinnamon donut holes served with the matcha latte were divine.

Molly was great Very crowded and overbooked. Long lag in main dish delivery. Wrong check from a guy wrong dish served to partner. He ordered shrimp and got chicken

We had a bit of a wait after our reservation time but overall the experience was great! It was fun listening to the band and watching the tap dancers. The food was amazing and Tarin gave excellent service. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they even brought him a complimentary dessert! Highly recommend!

Amazing experience. This was our 1st time there. Early Valentine’s Day date with my wife. We sat upstairs inside & loved it. Our server, Misa, was fantastic & provided great recommendations. Everything was so delicious. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it for a special occasion. I would definitely return to try other dishes like the Chilean Sea Bass. We had the Spare Ribs as an appetizer & the Peking Duck for 2. Also ordered the Buri-Bop as both our hostess & server highly recommended. Thoroughly enjoyed everything. Brought leftovers home to our children & they also enjoyed it.

Wonderful dining experience. We met the Manager, Scott who was the nicest, friendliest person who went above and beyond to make our dinner so very special. You see....we lost our precious daughter, Jenna 20 months ago. It was sudden and traumatic. The Boathouse and the Fillet Mignon sliders were here favorite. Her last birthday Orlando celebration in February 2023 was so special. We lost her suddenly in June 2023. We live on Long Island, we visit 3 to 4 times per year and T.J. has always taken care of us. Thank you to the staff at Tje Boathouse, T.J. and Scott for helping us through our grief at Jenna's favorite restaurant. You help to heal my heart! Sincerely, Jayne Hudson💜💜💜
