Disney Springs’ west side at Walt Disney World Resort is now home to a new restaurant called Summer House on the Lake.
The restaurant by Lettuce Entertain You is serving a California-inspired menu and includes the brand’s first-ever ‘Cookie Bar’.
“We’re thrilled to infuse locally sourced ingredients and inspiration into the menu at Summer House on the Lake,” said chef Ben Goodnick.Â
“While the Summer House menu is rooted in the simplicity and variety of Southern California, our goal for this location is to incorporate the fresh, bold flavors of Florida’s endless summer, too, like Key West shrimp, grouper from the Gulf of Mexico, citrus and other local produce.”
He added: “Seasonal specials including Wagyu beef, main course salads and Caribbean-inspired flavors are a direct reflection of the people and food we have grown to love in the Orlando area.”
To create the seasonal menu, Goodnick and the Summer House team use sustainable and local ingredients. As for the Cookie Bar, this is serving 15 different types of oversized cookies and bars, from sea salt chocolate chip to apple oatmeal.
New F&B at Disney parks
The fourth Summer House location was designed in collaboration with renowned architecture and design firm Rockwell Group.
Over in California, Disneyland has filed building permits for a new $8.2 million food hall concept called Parkside Market in Downtown Disney’s west end.
The new F&B destination is expected to open by late 2024. It will include F&B brands such as Seoul Sister, Sip & Sonder, GG’s Chicken Shop, and an al fresco bar.
