    Service was outstanding, from our first contact at the desk, through our entire meal with Melanie as our main Server. Food was excellent, they accompanied our request, and several employees wished us a Happy Anniversary. Open Prime is a very special place

    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.
