1st trip was so wonderful that we had to come back on our last day at Disney! Kimberly our waitress was outstanding!!!! She was so attentive and thoughtful!!
Thank you for a wonderful brunch!!!
That looks like a perfect split combo Fresh chopped salad and that stacked turkey sandwich with fries is a win.
“We split a fresh chopped salad and a turkey sandwich at the bar. Both were generous portions, super fresh, and perfect for sharing. Great light lunch with a lake view.”
The bar area is spacious and lively without being too loud, and the staff was friendly and attentive. It’s a great spot to enjoy a drink, people watch, and take in the lake views. The atmosphere is bright, coastal, and chill, making it an easy place to unwind at Disney Springs.
Perfect for a casual stop, sunset drinks, or just soaking in the lake vibes. Definitely a spot I’ll be back to.
We walked up, gave our name and were seated right away. Our server came right over and began going over drink options and specials.
I ordered a magerita (very tasty), and had the grilled artichoke for an appetizer. My wife ordered the shaved brussel sprout salad and I went with the wagyu tacos, which were phenomenal!
Highly recommend!
A huge part of of our dining experience was our server, Kimberly R. She brought so much cheer, enthusiasm, and genuine warmth to our table that it really made the afternoon. Her energy fit perfectly with the laid‑back California feel of the restaurant.
For appetizers, we started with the Wagyu Meatballs, which were exceptionally good.
For our entrées, we enjoyed the Salmon and the Famous Herb Chicken Breast Paillard. Both dishes were nicely prepared that match the restaurant’s West Coast inspiration.
For dessert, we ordered the Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Kimberly warmed the cookie just enough so the ice cream melted slightly over the top.
Overall, Summer House on the Lake was a memorable meal with an incredible atmosphere, and Kimberly R. made it truly special. I’d return in a heartbeat and highly recommend asking for her (if possible to be seated in her section) if you want a server who brings joy to the experience.
Caramelized Brussel sprouts, margarita pizza, pasta. And this place has awesome cookies. When Mary asked if we wanted it warmed and/or with ice cream… well. Of course. And the black coffee is very good. Strong and full body, not bitter. Very pleasant meal. Marie was wonderful. Mary shared in conversation too.

The chicken adobo tacos we had for lunch were outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and memorable enough that I’m still thinking about them. We also got the chips & guac, which came with salsa too, so yummy! The drinks were equally impressive; I would absolutely return just for cocktails alone. Everything we ordered felt thoughtfully made and well executed.

The atmosphere was another highlight. The restaurant was beautiful, clean, and welcoming, and the outdoor seating area really elevated the experience. We were initially seated inside, but once we saw the back patio, we asked if we could move—and the staff was incredibly accommodating, even after we’d already been seated. Our server was so sweet & checked in on us regularly.

If you’re in the area, this is a must-visit for either lunch or dinner. It does seem to get popular later in the day, so I’d recommend a reservation if you’re planning to go in the evening. We arrived right when they opened after flying in and wandering around for food, which turned out to be the perfect way to kick off our trip.

Can’t recommend this place enough!
