Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort will soon be home to Summer House on the Lake. This newest location will be the fourth of the California-inspired restaurant from Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants. Summer House on the Lake will join existing locations in Chicago, IL, North Bethesda, MD, and Las Vegas, NV, opening this winter.
From decor to menu, here are four exciting things guests can look forward to at this newest location.
1 – The Cookie Bar
Summer House on the Lake will introduce a Cookie Bar, featured front and center at the entrance to the restaurant. Here you can indulge your sweet tooth with a variety of the restaurant’s oversized cookies, bars, and other sweet surprises. Flavors such as Sea Salt Chocolate Chip, Birthday Cake, Oatmeal Scottie, Apple Oatmeal, and Vegan Snickerdoodle will be among your choices, along with rotating seasonal flavors.
The bar will offer a selection of coffee, wine, and beer on draft as well as delicious specialty cocktails. You can choose to enjoy the goodies at the restaurant or take your selection to-go. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase a bottle of the restaurant’s own private-label wine, Summer House Rosé to take home and enjoy.
2 – Insta-worthy Rosé Cart and Summery Sips
Summer House on the Lake Rosé Cart will offer more than six varieties of rosé by the glass or bottle, including the restaurant’s star Summer House Rosé, made in partnership with California-based BonAnno Wines. A selection of spritzes, summery cocktails (including zero-proof options), fresh juices, and a largely California-sourced wine list add to the laidback West Coast vibes.
3 – Cali-Mex Weekend Brunch
With signature items exclusive to Disney Springs, along with celebrated favorites, Summer House on the Lake’s West Coast-inspired menu will delight the palate!
Brunch will be served Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with options including Mexican Hash Browns; Breakfast Pizza with applewood bacon, a sunny-side-up egg and Parmesan cream; and Breakfast Tostadas. Fluffy pancakes and waffles, salads, and sandwiches will also be available, alongside a selection of other items from the lunch and dinner menus. Guests can also expect seasonal salads, artisan pizzas, and entrees like Herbed Chicken Paillard and local Grouper Fish ‘n’ Chips with malt vinegar fries and tartar sauce. An extensive kids’ menu will be available all day – with a choice of vegetables or fries on the side.
4 – California-Cool Design
Summer House on the Lake offers a unique design, bringing the beauty of a summer day indoors. Guests can enjoy sweeping views and a relaxing lakeside breeze.
The space, which boasts three bars, an airy, natural light-filled dining room centered around a lush tree reaching toward a skylight, and greenery throughout, was designed in collaboration with renowned architecture and design firm Rockwell Group. Seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor dining, Summer House offers both freestanding tables and banquettes ideal for families and large groups.
An iconic centerpiece of each Summer House location that will be included at Summer House on the Lake is the bright blue “YES” sign located in the dining room. It symbolizes the entire team’s commitment to “saying yes” to the guest, making each dining experience a memorable one.
