Summer House
1 Jeff Fuqua Blvd, Orlando, FL
Crema's Take
“Summer House is a lakeside brunch destination in Disney Springs where craft cocktails are genuinely exceptional—think perfectly balanced Aperol Spritzes and potent Espresso Martinis—paired with thoughtful dishes like perfectly seasoned steak frites and impossibly soft jalapeño cornbread. The real magic happens when you snag a table overlooking the water, where the combination of attentive service, vibrant interior design, and genuine warmth from the staff (regulars rave about Tim specifically) creates an experience that keeps people coming back. It's equally welcoming whether you're bringing your family for a leisurely morning or meeting friends for an elevated casual meal.”

Service and vibe are both top notch, food leaves mush to be desired, though. The structural integrity of the chicken adobo tacos was nonexistent and the guac lacked the authentic flavor I’d expect from a relatively simple dish. I’m sure there were lots of other menu options that tasted better, but this place could benefit from putting the same amount of effort that was put into the decor and ambiance into their food.
Awesome restaurant with good interior decor. The steak frite is cooked perfectly with seasoning. The jalapeno cornbread is super soft and the japeleno doesn't overwhelm the flavour. The lakeside cooler is also a nice citrus non-alcoholic drink. Definitely would retry this spot if I ever come back to Disney Springs.
Brunch at Summer House on the Lake in Disney Springs was such a great experience! Drinks (Aperol Spritz, Spicy Bloody Mary, Espresso Martini) were all 10/10, flavorful and actually potent. The deviled eggs were zesty and delicious, and the cinnamon roll is a must for a group (perfectly sweet and great for sharing). The crispy chicken sandwich and Mexican tostadas were amazing. The egg sandwich felt bland and lacked flavor, even with the sauce. The huevos rancheros were creative, but it felt more like a giant quesadilla pizza with a small amount of eggs and toppings on top. The bread-to-egg ratio was off, and I ended up leaving half because it was just too much pita compared to the toppings. A smaller portion would make it feel more balanced. Service was great, the lake views were beautiful, and the overall vibe felt special and celebratory. We’ll definitely be back!
Had lunch here with my 12 year old son and it was fantastic. We ordered the Parmesan truffle fries for our app. Very large portion and the aioli dip was yummy. My son ordered a pepperoni pizza and I had the steak frites. The pizza was large enough that both of us could have eaten it and still had leftovers. The steak frites were delicious cooked perfectly again large portions. Beautiful atmosphere and great service. Don’t skip the cookie bar! So good!
Great atmosphere and food. Make sure you request a table by the lake. Thank you Tim for an amazing brunch and taking very good care of us. Highly recommend!!! 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!!!
