    Jacob was our waiter and he was possibly the best waiter we’ve ever had. The bar staff was incredible at making off menu cocktails for us and the kitchen made us some incredible off menu sushi. We can’t wait to go back again!

    The best thing about this rest is the location. Tables are small. Portions are tiny. Bills are huge. It’s really a bar with the afterthought of serving food. Also screaming kids running around with abandon did not help ambiance. $300 for 2 people it was ok at best.

    The view is amazing. They had a DJ on the patio but only had a couple of speakers so it was blaring and hard to talk inside. The sushi station was good, not a ton of choices but the fish was fresh. The hot food was bad. Too long under the heat lamps and lifeless. Our waitress was great at filling water, but so so bad at clearing plates. They don't have dining tables so my wife and I were eating at a small end table. The bartender hated me because I kept walking the dirty plates to, and stacking them in a column on the bar. Not worth the price, would go back for maybe a drink(if enough time has passed for the bartender to forget me). Skip here.

    Leonardo Aka Leo guided me through the menu. Was very polite and energetic and knew the menu in and out which made my wife and I decide what we wanted very easily. From the wine to the dessert we loved it all. At the end we even asked him to take our picture and he gladly did so. Made our first time experience at Illume a memorable one. It was my wife’s birthday

    There is a lot of hype about the view and the fireworks that makes this restaurant attractive but that's about it as far as we we were concerned. The outdoor seating is a more casual arrangement, that's not really suitable for dining. The food was Ok at best, nothing to make you come back for more. All the servings were tapas style portions. We ordered 3-4 different entrees. The Shrimp Tempura was overdone and heavy on the batter. The Beef Short ribs were way too salty to enjoy. The Pork Belly Buns were enjoyable, but really needed more slaw. As an appetizer we got the Wellness Roll. This was the most enjoyable part of our meal. We would not return nor would we recommend this for a fine meal. Come for the drinks and the view.

    We really enjoyed our evening on the balcony eating incredible sushi and watching the fireworks from Epcot and Magic Kingdom. Weather was perfect. It is set up to be lounging outdoor furniture with a coffee table for food and drinks. The food is bite size so it works with that setup. Would highly recommend and we will be back.

    The ambiance here is great. Our 8:45 reservation was timed perfectly as the Disney fireworks that go off at 9. Service was a little slow but friendly. The food was good, try the crab meat watermelon or croquettes as appetizers the couple of rolls were tasty too. The cherry blossom desert was nice as well.
