                    We have been here many, many times and we keep coming back because the service, atmosphere and food are generally outstanding. This time, the service and atmosphere were excellent, however, the food was a bit of a let down for one member of our party. They ordered the Mahi sandwich and it smelled very strongly of fish, which is not normal for Mahi. Our server was really great about it, but it was a real letdown because we don't get to eat here often and they didn't get to enjoy a much anticipated meal. Although this was a real bummer, it doesn't reflect all of the other awesome experiences we have had here in the past. Furthermore, Jorge was quite possibly the best server that has ever assisted us here. We hope the food was a fluke and things are back to normal when next we visit.

                    The boathouse is one of our favorites and we make the trip to Disney Springs just to have dinner here. The rolls are probably the best part besides the steak! The mac & cheese is totally worth the splurge.
