Restaurants near St. Johns National Wildlife Refuge

We have been enjoying holiday brunches at the Aurora for years and I think it just gets better and better each time. So glad to have Chef Mike back - he and his team do an amazing job! The selection of food and overall quality is top notch. But, my goodness, that dessert selection is unsurpassed! 🤤 Our service was somewhat less than ideal today. We had to ask several times for drinks and refills. Towards the end, we asked 2 times for water refills and never got them. Thankfully, being a buffet, this is the only thing we had to rely on our server for, so it is what it is. Maybe set water pitchers around in the future. Otherwise, this was yet another exceptional experience and our holiday was brighter for it! Thanks for taking time away from your families to host us! We’re eager to see what Christmas brings!

We enjoyed Thanksgiving with Cooper’s Hawk and had their traditional turkey dinner with soup and dessert. We made reservations through Open Table and had no problems. We were promptly seated at our time and the wait staff was very good. We enjoyed a very relaxed dinner and the food was all delicious. We particularly enjoyed the butternut squash soup and the pumpkin pie. We also noticed larger family groups that were enjoying themselves and their areas were not overcrowded as we’ve seen other places. I recommend considering Coopers Hawk for special holiday meals.

A forever favorite spot. Anytime in Disney Springs, this is our go to (even making reservations well in advance). Grateful for another lovely experience with excellent service and incredible food - shrimp, salad, mac-n-cheese (adult and child versions), steak, roasted chicken, and cocktails! Yum!

This was my second time here, but first time having dinner. The truffle fries and guac were fantastic, and my Brussels sprout salad entree was delish. My companion didn’t love his tuna tostada, he said it was too salty, but that was the only low point. This place is pricey, but to be expected at Disney Springs, and worth it for the excellent vibes. Hopefully next time we can get a table outside.

Great food! We’ve been twice in one week. Took our friends there.
