I went to Space 220 Lounge for lunch last week. Space 220 in general gets a really punishing review in the Unofficial Guide, but for me, the lounge experience was okay.
I had the Gemini Burger, which was quite good, as were the french fries that accompanied it. All of the space station-related effects were interesting, I would say, but probably not anything diners would want to see multiple times. I thought they were clever and well done. (The "space elevator" idea, by the way, is a real thing that scientists have pondered as a more efficient way to travel into space.)
As the UG notes, this place is quite expensive, but any sit-down spot for lunch in the theme parks is not going to be a bargain. For what it's worth, it is also possible to order off the regular lunch menu in the lounge, but that crossed the line for me as that is REALLY pricey. But I would say, some lounge food and the outer space surroundings are worth a visit. If the burger is still offered, I might come back in the future--really, that was a good burger.
