Lakeside Bar & Grill

There is no better way to enjoy a leisurely Sunday but by having a brunch meet-up with Yelp Orlando's Best All-Around Elite of the Year, Apple S. Indeed, knowing the work week lies ahead makes any activity enjoyed on a Sunday that much more sweet...or savory depending upon your brunch craving!The restaurant itself is located at the Inn at Celebration and has both inside and outside seating. Apple and I initially were located at the exterior lakeside patio however, the sun was shining at little too harshly and I didn't want to be included in any photo line-up of the most terrible tan fails of all time. So of course we moved ourselves to an interior table.And that brings us to the food. We both ordered the Beer Battered Grouper Sandwich. The Sandwich consisted of Crispy Beer Battered Grouper, Malt Vinegar, Tartar, Harissa Mango Salsa and Kohlrabi slaw on a Brioche Bun served with French Fries. The grouper serving was large and both crispy and airy. DELICIOUS! As to service, it was warm and welcoming however, somewhat slow and disjointed. Our server forgot my drink order and didn't follow-up with our table to see if we needed anything else. This is the reason for the four instead of five star review. Nonetheless, I would not hesitate in dining at this venue in the future...THE FOOD IS TASTY!

I met my yelp friend Ronnald M. for a Sunday lunch here. Reservations were easy with open table. They are a must as there's not that many tables here. This is at the Marriott lakeside hotel. We were seated outside but it was so hot in the sun we moved inside to the hotel lobby area. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. The only complaint would be the service was incredibly slow and even there was a lot of staff you wonder if they are understaffed. The table waters were warm and I could not see a server until we got the check to order anything else to drink. The food was great! We both had the grouper sandwich which was worth 5 stars for sure! The piece of grouper was massive! Overall really nice to come here and have good food for brunch, but you need patience and time.I love the honor a locals discount thank you for that!

This place has a special place in my heart. I evacuated from Tampa to Celebration and stayed in the Celebration Hotel for 3 nights. The restaurant stayed open throughout the hurricane and was super kind and accommodating to guests by running a special menu. We are here for 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts and the food was absolutely amazing. The appetizers are HUGE and should have a portion warning - the celebration calamari is truly a celebration. I cannot rave enough about the service and the kind and personable people that work at this hotel/restaurant. After spending so much time there during the hurricane they truly felt like friends & family. Even through the renovations of the hotel and restaurant, the service and food is top notch. I will probably end up driving back to this area to go to the restaurant for the nostalgic vibes and good food lol.

This place hits every time. I love how the location is so scenic yet hidden and not overcrowded. The food is super yummy. I love that the ingredients are so fresh. I'm not sure where or how they make the better but it was the best butter I've ever had. The sausage also was the best I've had. The fruit is fresh and such a good selection. Our waitress was amazingly nice. I need to go back asap.

This restaurant deserves a much better review than it has. I ate here three times during my stay in the hotel (twice for lunch and once for dinner) and the food was exceptional. It is a bit on the expensive side, and it is definitely high fare, but holey moley is it good! The Brussels sprouts were some of the best I've had and the burger was delicious. Everything had a bit of a unique twist that made it just a little different, but still familiar.

An updated brunch menu with improved options. This small lakeside restaurant offers brunch and dinner. The menu was updated, which originally got us nervous because we loved the old options. For brunch, everything we tried was a hit! Really fresh fruit, wonderful service and a fair priced bowl of açaí (healthy breakfast ice cream!)There is usually always ample nearby parking for this location, with a good look out onto the lake as well as indoor and outdoor dining. I highly recommended!

Wonderful location, good menu (better if it was all in stock)...The location and ambience in/outside is wonderful, truly welcoming and relaxing. We came late in the evening (830p) and the weather was wonderful on the patio ... I'd come back just for the setting.The menu looks great ... but we came on a day / time where two things we asked for were not available (one was no pears for the pear salad, though green apples are a better replacement than, say, bananas). Another bummer was that the crab cakes aren't crab, they are a vegetarian option. Man, would have loved crab cakes!Meal was tasty - the chicken, the fish and chips, and the pear-with-no-pear salad. I'd come back.

My wife and I met up with some friends for Sunday brunch. There were five people total in our group. We had made reservations, which is highly recommended.Two of the people in our group opted for the bottomless mimosas, a couple had coffee, and I stuck with water. The bottomless mimosas do have a two hour time limit, which I think is pretty standard. For breakfast, my wife and I decided to split the Brunch Burger and an order of the Custard Dipped French Toast. I ordered the burger medium and with the tomato bacon chutney on the side. I thought the burger was cooked at the right temperature and had a great flavor. The chutney does add a nice element to the burger. The fries were cooked perfectly and had a nice crunch. While the French Toast was delicious, I didn't find it to be anything special. I guess I saw custard dipped and got excited and expected something different. It was a very well done French Toast, that is all. Now, what was exciting was the citrus whipped cream. I had a few bites with the whipped cream and a few with the maple syrup. Our friends did make comments on how delicious their food was.Our server was great and on top of things. It did take some time for the food to arrive, maybe about 30 minutes from the time we ordered.We had a nice time, and all agreed that we would like to go back and try a few more items.It is worth noting that this restaurant is mainly in the lobby of the hotel. Also, allow yourself extra time if you are visiting on a Sunday during the hours of the Celebration Farmers Market, as parking can be hard to come by. I do think the hotel does offer valet.

Tried a new to us restaurant in Celebration for the first time. Located in the Hotel Celebration. The server was very good. The dining area was pleasant and the lunch crowd was light. Parking is in two lots nearby or on the street. Some walking involved but not bad. We ordered the strawberry waffle and the brunch burger. The waffle was nice to look at and wifey enjoyed it. My burger came with tasty fries and an egg on top. Once I bit into the egg it juices flowed all over the burger and made the bun soggy. It was good messy eating but I used a fork near the end. There's dining on the patio overlooking the body of water. It wasn't a pleasant day in January so we ate inside. Happy eating

Sitting inside the Celebration Hotel, this grill boasts a water view of a serene pond. The service is extraordinary. My brunch selection was a great twist on the Eggs Benedict classic.: Shrimp & Grits Eggs Benedict with red eye gravy. So excited to have found this in the quaint village of Celebration. Truly something to celebrate.
