Swan Dolphin Restaurant Reviews?

[SDA]

We are foodies and staying at Swan during our trip. We'll have two, maybe three non-park days for a nice dinner. Would love to hear some reviews of the nicer restaurants on this property? We may just like to stay here for dinner on those nights, but may consider traveling elsewhere on the Disney property as well.

IMHO, Swan/Dolphin has some of the best restaurants on property. We haven't tried the new steak restaurant yet, but love bluezoo, Il Mulino, Kimono's and Rosa Mexicana. If those cuisines appeal to you, there is really no need to go elsewhere for dinner if you would rather relax and stay at your hotel.

YES! This is what I was hoping to hear! Would love some relaxing time at the hotel since we are paying for it. Thank you!

I don’t eat at SwanDolphin often but in part that’s due to the AP discount factor I suspect. As well I don’t eat steak often and finally I will take a long time before I step foot in bluezoo again; exceptionally bad service ruined it for me and only about 6 years have gone by soo the elephant in me still hasn’t forgotten . Fortunately, Flying Fish (just down the road) keeps me well satisfied when seafood and fish dishes are wanted.
Sunday, had some lovely nibbles at Il Mulino: mussels in broth and shrimp cocktail were nicely cooked. Never eaten a full meal here but have in NYC; the appetizers were as good as home.
Kimonos is great for sushi and there is an ice cream fountain shop that surpasses Beaches and Cream by far.
HTH and have fun wherever you eat.

We reat Il Mulino as the best Italian food on property.

Swolphin has the best restaurants at Crescent Lake imo. Il Mulino isn’t quite as good as the og tribeca location but is still the best Italian on property, Rosa Mexicano is the best Mexican on property by a country mile (frankly had a better experience there in May than I did a couple weeks ago at the Lincoln Center location at home), have had nothing but good experiences at Kimonos, the Fountain runs circles around Beaches and Cream at a better price point, and the pool bar is surprisingly good.i can’t comment on bluezoo as I’m not a seafood eater.

I have a Bourbon Steak reservation coming up over my Labor Day trip but have heard nothing but rave reviews.

So true! I had their smash burger last week and it was really good.

I haven’t been since they’ve had that on the menu, will definitely have to check it out when I’m down again in a couple of weeks. I am always on the lookout for great burgers and I love smash style.

Smash Burger at the Dolphin Fountain. I don't do lettuce or tomato so I had that left off, but did keep the sauted onion. Oh yes, and the chocolate shake was very good too.

We were really surprised how good Rosa Mexicano was. Its elevated Mexican cusine and worth the price imo. Great drinks, apps and entrees. I highly recommend it.

YES! Thanks so much to all. Very excited to try some of these - I'm hungry now!
