Reviews
From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a wonderful young lady. Our party of five was seated comfortably with plenty of space—always a plus. We kicked things off with a few spirits; my glass of Moscato was absolutely perfect. Then came ordering time … and let me tell you, everything we ordered was amazing. When I say cooked to perfection, I mean chef’s kiss.
We sampled so many dishes that I honestly can’t name them all, but hopefully the pictures will do them justice ♀️. Our waiter, Ryan, was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever encountered—top-notch service from start to finish.
I highly recommend making a reservation, as we did. This experience truly opened my eyes (and palate), and I can’t wait to continue exploring. Great food, great service, and great company—an all-around fantastic experience!
For starters, we ordered the Signature Ishkabubble Bread, which was perfectly seasoned and served at the ideal temperature, and the Fried Calamari, which was also delicious and not rubbery at all.
For the main course, I had the Grilled Souvlaki, and it was cooked exactly to the doneness I asked for. My mom and sister shared the Sea Bass al Cartoccio, which comes wrapped in parchment paper and has a beautiful presentation. We didn’t have room for dessert, but I’m sure it would have been amazing too.
The service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. Our server went above and beyond to make my daughter’s birthday dinner special, even surprising her with a beautiful slice of olive oil lemon cake. It was light, citrusy, and delicious — the perfect finish to a wonderful meal.
Everything we tried was bursting with flavor and freshness. The hummus was creamy and perfectly seasoned, served with warm, soft bread that we couldn’t stop eating. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and caramelized, and the fried chicken was one of the best we’ve ever had — tender on the inside with a perfectly golden crust and a hint of Mediterranean spice.
The kids’ meal pasta was a huge hit too — simple, flavorful, and portioned just right. It’s rare to find a restaurant that manages to please both adults and kids so effortlessly, but Amare does it beautifully.
From start to finish, our dinner felt like a true experience — calm, flavorful, and filled with care. If you’re near EPCOT or the BoardWalk and looking for a relaxing, five-star dining experience that combines fresh Mediterranean flavors with Disney hospitality, Amare is a must-visit.
The portion size was more than enough. We ordered the lamb kofta and calamari for an appetizer. The lamb was perfectly made (chef’s kiss) and it was beautifully plated. They gave oversized portion of calamari with an option of sauces. For the main course we ordered the Grilled Souvlaki and Swordfish Chermoula. Both were good dishes however, the chicken in the souvlaki was a little dry. It had the potential to be better but I could tell they over seasoned it which made it slightly saltier than I would like but the flavors were good overall.
Lastly, for dessert we got the Greek yogurt cheesecake and the olive oil cake. It was so much food I could not finish. The olive oil cake was the best I’ve ever had! I would definitely recommend this place for a nice date night. The ambiance was very relaxed but elegant. The service is always great. They have an open kitchen where you can see them prepare your food and the views were stunning.
For entrees, she had the chicken kebab and while it looked good, she was not happy with the texture of the thighs. I had swordfish which was also tasty, though cooked a bit long and it ended up dry. I preferred it without the accompanying sides.
The two cocktails – found that the **back** of the wine menu – were superb. The first was a Rose cocktail of sorts with Campari, Grapefruit and a Rose liqueur. It was well balanced, heavy on the citrus and not bitter at all. Rose hints were very subtle. If you’re going for floral, then the Viola is for you! I absolutely loved the Viola with gin, Violet liquor and the cucumber elixir. If you don’t like floral, you will not like this drink! I do, and I would return for drinks anytime!
On to desserts, the chocolate tahini tart was reportedly good. There is a raspberry filling in the center that is not pictured. Their olive cake is the start of the show! Think of it like a pineapple upside down cake with the right balance of light, and the flavor profile of pineapple and cake without being too rich. Add some dole whip at the park and you wouldn’t ever leave!
What keeps Amare from being spectacular is the service. It took awhile to get waters, to place our orders and then service was slow in between courses as well. We noticed an air of indifference with our server that isn’t what you come to expect when enjoying a meal at an on-property restaurant. Maybe they had an off day or someone called in sick. At then least the food was almost spot on and the drinks impeccable!
