Escudos Bar & Grill

**Review for EScudos Bar & Grill, 9560 Via Encinas, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently enjoyed dining at EScudos Bar & Grill, nestled within the scenic Bonnet Creek Resort. The restaurant's atmosphere is immediately relaxing, with views of a quaint swimming pool and an expansive artificial lake with impressive fountains. Although the restaurant fence and walkway obscure the lake view somewhat, it remains a tranquil setting to enjoy a meal. The list of amenities here is extensive - from outdoor seating to wheelchair accessibility and a full bar, they cater to most needs. I appreciated the waiter's quick and courteous service, and the establishment's cleanliness stood out. However, my experience was somewhat marred by the initial reception. Traveling solo and arriving early for breakfast to avoid the rush, I found it disconcerting to be nudged towards the bar seating - which, in my opinion, isn't suitable for a comfortable meal. Fortunately, after expressing my concerns, I was accommodated with a table. On the topic of food, while the breakfast itself was decent, the presentation left something to be desired. Serving fried eggs on paper in a metal tray doesn't exude the dining experience I'd expect from such a place. Furthermore, the pricing felt a tad high for a basic breakfast, with my meal totaling over $23. Also, visitors should note that access to the restaurant area requires a hotel stay pass card, which could pose challenges for those not staying within the resort. EScudos offers a pleasant environment and commendable service, but there's room for improvement in guest reception and food presentation. I would recommend it but with those caveats in mind.
