Summer House on the Lake is now open in Disney Springs
Summer House on the Lake has officially opened in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort.
The fourth Summer House location – others are in Chicago, Las Vegas, and North Bethesda, Maryland – features a California-inspired menu and 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,” says Chef Ben Goodnick. “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. 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.”
Highlights of Summer House’s seasonal menu include:
- Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with balsamic and Parmigiano Reggiano
- Ahi Tuna Tostadas with Hass avocado, Thai chili, and crisp corn tortilla
- Turkey Stack Sandwich
- Crispy Baja Fish Tacos
- Costa Mesa Salad with queso fresco, corn, pico de gallo, avocado, quinoa, crispy tortilla, chipotle crema, and lime vinaigrette
- Florida Corn Husk Salmon with spicy honey glaze and tomatillo salsa
- Herbed Chicken Breast Paillard with arugula salad and Calabrian chili
- Artisan pizzas, including Shaved Mushroom and Hobbs Pepperoni
- Kid’s menu featuring grilled cheese, pasta with meatballs, and “breakfast for dinner” (served with vegetables or fries)
Anything on the menu can be made gluten-free.
