Perched on the ninth floor, of the JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa, this unique rooftop lounge serves contemporary Japanese cuisine and creative cocktails in a stunning setting. At night, you’ll enjoy an incredible vantage point of the nightly fireworks display at Disney.

We had the most amazing meal here to celebrate my 10 year old daughters birthday dinner. The food was superb, the drinks were outstanding and our server May was amazing! They did a lovely little birthday surprise dessert for her. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Illume was absolutely exquisite. Chef Vinh and the entire team were masterful, and it was a pleasure to watch them work at the sushi bar. My meal was outstanding, and Kristin’s service was next level. I highly recommend Otoro sashimi, as well as the Firebird cocktail (see photos). That meal would have been delicious and memorable if served to me in a shack, but to top everything the view from the rooftop is breathtaking. Enjoying that meal at sundown with great service all around me was THE highlight of my work trip. I highly recommend you go see what I’m talking about. You will not be disappointed!

illume is a fantastic rooftop sushi bar and restaurant that delivers both in food and atmosphere. I went with a large group, and the outdoor rooftop patio had spacious tables that accommodated us comfortably. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and prompt, making the evening seamless. The sushi and cocktails were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. To top it off, the views of the Disney fireworks made for a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for both groups and anyone looking for a special night out.

Beautiful sweeping views and an edgy fun atmosphere and Japanese theme menu set illume up well to deliver. Having lived in Tokyo for several years and experienced some of the best quality prepared fish, I am always on the lookout for top-notch sushi restaurants. illume really exceeded my expectations across the board. I had a cup of Miso, some gyoza, a few pieces of nigiri and the Chef’s Sashimi sampler. Each cut was delicious and the portion was generous. I will definitely come back when visiting.

We had such an amazing evening at Illume in Orlando! The rooftop views were absolutely breathtaking — we could even see the fireworks from above, which made the night feel so special.
Our waitress May was incredible — warm, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Miguel, the manager, also went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and started our night off on the right foot, which we really appreciated.
And the food — wow. The quality of the sushi was unreal, truly some of the best we’ve ever had, and every single dish we ordered was phenomenal. Between the view, the service, and the food, Illume is easily one of Orlando’s best dining experiences. Highly recommend for a special night out!

The service at illume and the JW in general is top notch! The property itself is phenomenal. The view is what takes the cake with Disney fireworks going off at 9:00. A great place for a intimate date night or a place to have a celebration. The food is primarily apps style with the cocktails taking the highlight of the evening.

Everything was perfect!!! Came in on Friday, August 29, with a couple of friends and had an amazing experience from start to finish! We sat at the bar where we had amazing service from Alex and the other bartender. Everything we ordered, food and drinks, was phenomenal!!! The manager was exceptionally kind and made sure we were enjoying everything. The ribs and the Japanese old fashioned were my favorite items. If I lived in Orlando, I would be a regular here. 10/10 AMAZING!!!
