Chilled chardonnay on a humid Florida evening in July.
The bay area. Thirsty Fish is on the right, at the edge of the water.
Cheese plate. $9. Hmmm.

Great food and drinks for a quick bite. Elevated sports bar atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. We got the Shrimp Flatbread, plain wings, Caesar salad with grilled chicken, meatballs, and frittes and all was delicious! The service was good because we were seated 5 minutes after opening but the restaurant filled up very quickly. Go eat there!

I'll give this place a 3 1/2, we just got into the resort after a long day and needed a snack and a drink before we ventured on. This seemed nice, outside on a great day, next to the Italian bay. Prices are what you expect from a Disney resort. Not much of a menu, more just bar items, which is fine. We had the anti pasta plate, not bad, not amazing, but we ate it all. The service was a little slow, not sure if they were understaffed, it wasn't busy, or they just try to keep it in that lounge mood.Overall, not bad, nice little stop to watch the water and sunset

Cozy little spot to enjoy the hotel harbor. The service is very pleasant, and everyone greets you in Italian which is a comforting touch. Sitting on the patio Saturday 7pm, and it feels much like 7pm in Italy, breezy and calm, prior to the evening rush. Their menus are quite satisfying with a decent variety of wines, signature cocktails, a substantial number of bourbons, with flight options and even cigars! A light variety of food options with a little something for most. Bites, burger, salads and flatbreads; they even have fish and chips. I opted for a cheeseboard with my wine and it did not disappoint.If you're looking for a meal or just a sip and some people watching, The Thirsty Fish is a solid choice.Also, you don't have to be staying at one of Universals hotels to come visit! Just look for the water taxi at the end of City Walk, hop in the lane for Portofino Bay, and enjoy a refreshing boat ride down to Orlando's own Italian harbor

We had a cheese plate appetizer and antipasto appetizer, my wife had a hamburger and my daughter had a turkey club. I tried and enjoyed the liqueur flight. The service was good.

Not a full restaurant. This is a spot to grab a drink and a cheese plate. A must try cheese plate for sure at a good price and with nice selection. It was a great munchie for our group of 5. Lots of open tables and quick service for sure. Can't say we really enjoyed the drink we were served but perhaps that was just a bad choice on our part. The spicy peanut mix made my day.

My coworkers and I had drinks here late after an event. The outdoor seating is very nice with the scenery of the water and boats. We sat outside instead of the packed bar. The first time we came here on a Sunday; I had a mojito which wasn't good. It was weak had a different after taste. I had a grand mariner and pineapple on the second time we visited (Wednesday) and that was very good. I think the drinks are a hit or miss. The service is not great as I feel like they're under staffed.

Not impressed. The service was sub par. Seating was not comfortable. It was humid inside the bar. Food choices are very limited. Won't be back.

Well... the location is amazing. I'd give 5 stars to that. Who doesn't like to sit outside with your drink of choice listening to amazing music in a peaceful environment?The waitress came fairly quickly to take my drink order and she returned with it just as qiickly.But, she didn't ask for my food order, nor gave me time to tell her I wanted some. With my wine nearly finished she returned to see how I was, which allowed me to order something. Oh well.The wine was fine. The cheese plate was fine- too much for one person. There are a lot of food options- at all- so come for the drinks and stay for the atmosphere.
