Todd English’s Bluezoo Lounge

Came here for dinner as I was staying at the resort the Disney dolphin for a work business trip. Luckily, I made these reservations way in advance over a month ahead of time. The place does get full and busy. The service was absolutely impeccable and on point. The menu is a little bit limited, considering that it is Florida and with the abundance of seafood I was expecting more seafood options. However, we were very happy with everything we did order and the portions were just right and not too much. Despite only having one shirt, appetizer, and one entrée each we walked out very very full. I will definitely come back and also check out the lounge area. It is convenient when you can walk here in less than five minutes from your hotel room.

There are certain welcome surprises: Finding $20 on the ground; a LOTTO winner; a Todd English restaurant that actually is GOOD. Past experiences with the Toddae either in tourist markets, overcrowded and underwhelming, or run by franchisees for time periods so short that one suspects someone COULD, absolutely allegedly, be drying Chinese $20s in a raft of Samsung spinners in the back. NOT HERE!The food was OUTSTANDING and DELICIOUS! The fish was as good, if not better than Flying Fish, at the nearby Boardwalk. THAT, my friends, is truly a compliment. The sides were equally perfect. Ate at the bar, with an inventory as vast as the mighty Mississippi, and a bartender who was five star cool in the mixology department. For the bus and truck Dolphin Hotel, this was, as my youngest kid says, bussin' bussin'.

Fantastic! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed & loved the dining experience at BlueZoo! We went for a special occasion- a belated birthday dinner for family. (Not a place I would dine weekly due to the expected expenditure $$$$). It was perfect. Make reservations- easy check in and seating was prompt with a small wait. Beautifully laid out bar with seating and dining room. Luxuriously fun. Bold & vibrant colors. Seated promptly and brought our drinks. We ordered two appetizers to share: 1) Shrimp cocktail...poached jumbo shrimp, avocado puree, bloody mary cocktail sauce2) teppan seared sea scallops.....braised beef short rib, cauliflower silk" (copied descriptions so it's accurate)..These two appetizers set the tone for the rest of our dining experience. Shrimp cocktail was not your run-of-the-mill kind. Yes, different, but scrumptious- each sauce presented another tantalizing taste of goodness. Scallops & short ribs - yum! Main meals: veal osso bucco.....braised veal shank, heirloom polenta, gremolata, burgundy, veal jus2- angus beef.....angus beef filet, roasted potatoes, field mushrooms, sautéed onion, truffle porcini saucecappelletti pasta.....charred kale and ricotta filled pasta, lobster medallions, chervil butterWe also ordered a side of the Mac & cheese - creamy goodness! We all LOVED our meals. I can't even count the number of times I heard "umm" as in, so good! And, just about when we couldn't eat any more - it was dessert time. We ordered 1 dessert: the strawberry Angel food cake, but since it was Lori's belated birthday- she got a chocolate molten cake. Here's the delectable descriptions:"strawberry angel food cake...... marinated strawberries, crispy tuilewarm chocolate molten cake...... vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce"To sum it up. Got a special occasion or want a sumptuous dinner? This is the place to go. Service was impeccable and the food was divine.

This is the best restaurant in the Dolphin resort, far and away. The cocktails are nice, as is the seafood. I ordered the clam chowder and kale salad - both excellent. I also sampled the cauliflower dish, which was also very good. Service was a bit on the slow side, but they were busy that night. Recommended - especially over some of the other Dolphin restaurants.

Happy Hour Y'all! After a week of high dining and drinking prices at Disney, this restaurant lounge was a happy hour STEAL. We each had a $5 drink...decent chardonnay for me, and a beer for Husband. We shared the Classico Flatbread with roasted tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and torn basil for $8, the CRAB nachos with LUMP crab, black beans, pico de gallo and cherry peppers for $9, and Tempura Green Beans with Truffle Aioli for just $5. All were excellent! Superb quality and beyond good prices for a place in the midst of Disney. We were lucky to get seats at the bar on a Friday night. Highly recommend this happy hour! (hourS 5-7PM)

Excellent meal here. Definately get a resevation here if staying in swan or dolphin or neghborinv hotels by Disney. The bar is excellent as well. Great for a nice dinner - not real casual but you don't need to dress up or anything. Everything we had was good and I will be coming back.

Impressive as soon as you enter very NYC vibe, and I loved the open kitchen I'm always impressed with that. The staff is friendly an knowledgeable about the menu And the drinks. I ordered Mahi Mahi with the crab sauce and a new fashion both were very good.I will be back

The entrees were delicious! We got the Snapper and Swordfish with the white wine sauce. Highly recommend those! Also the Tempura fried green beans were outstanding! Our drinks, and the Greek octopus app were Meh. The octopus actually smelled so bad I wanted to gag. We both felt it needed some sort of citrus on it to tone the dead fish smell way down. Even though the seafood was delicious we wouldn't come back. It wasn't an all over great experience.

My boyfriend and I went here for Valentine's Day and unfortunately we were disappointed. The food was terribly bland. Our appetizer was the octopus and that was amazing, but the actual meals were underwhelming. The swordfish Marsala I had were two lightly breaded fish fillets which were cooked to perfect temperature, but the flavor was just not good. Even the vegetables underneath were squishy and not tasty. My boyfriend's meal was the dancing fish. He had some kind of red sauce on it and a white wine (?) sauce to glaze on top. Again, barely any flavor. I had two bites of mine, and could not eat it anymore and he ate half of his and boxed it up. It's still sitting in our fridge since we felt bad wasting.We actually picked this place because we came here last you and it was absolutely amazing. Last year, We celebrated Valentine's Day a week before. The service AND the food was out of this world. This year it was just not good. I'm not sure if it's because they were busier so they spent less time on our food, or if it was a different chef? Either way, I hope the quality returns to what we were spoiled with previously.

We had our dinner there . I would love more light for more good pictures (it was really too dark!!!!!!) . This restaurant is not really cheap . But there is a pretty good choice. We had the mushrooms flatbread (good portion but too spicy) , the teppan seared sea scallops (very good)the risotto tots(no interest), the Brussels sprouts(not enough cooked) . For the dessert we had the banana split and the strawberry angel food cake. Mojitos are excellent. Melanie the waitress was very professional
