We have been a few times and have yet to be disappointed. The phone communication via texting for confirmation is helpful. Once our party of six was seated they do it all. Server, runners, people to clear. They make sure everything is done just right. Our starters were salads and slab bacon. Yummy. The steaks are easy to share but there are so many choices it's hard to choose. Not a complaint but we were seated near a party of 30 finishing up so when they left the noise decibels went way down. The steaks were cooked perfectly. Sides were baked, mashed and brussels sprouts (again large enough to share). We did not have room for any of the delicious desserts, maybe next time. Enjoy!

Shula's isn't just about dinner it's about the experience. The service, from the moment we sat down, was amazing and our servers made suggestions and were very attentive. The French onion soup was very good and we had bread which was served warm. My husband loved his bourbon flight very much. My salmon was cooked to perfection and the bernaise sauce was delicious. Everything is al a carte and we shared garlic mashed potatoes and baby carrots with peal onions. The potatoes were the creamiest I ever had. The carrots needed more lavender (I didn't taste any and we really wanted to). The filet and au poivre sauce was also delicious. The lamb didn't disappoint either. The final course was dessert and the chocolate lava cake and chocolate soufflé were utterly amazing!

I made reservations in advance. We asked to come earlier and they were able to accommodate us. The place is really nice. This was a Thursday night, so lots of people. Our server was great. He went over the specials. I asked hom to bring me a cognac menu. I got a Remy XO. House pour of course. 30 bucks. My wife got the prime rib and was really tasty. I got the filet minon and it was perfect. For sides we got the Asparagus and mashed potatoes. So flavorful. Loved it. Omg I forgot about the bread. Just the right amount of crunch and Hella yummy. The food and service were amazing. I would come here again for sure.

I am local and have been here 5-6 times. It has been a while since my last visit and althoughI remember always enjoying my meal, tonight was absolutely fantastic!! I ordered the lamb Pittsburgh rare. The inside was perfect....though I would have loved more of a char, these were fantastic!! The chimmi sauce really added pop to the taste! I loved this meal! Service from Joe was outstanding, the ambiance is very nice, and being here celebrating a great friends birthday made it such a great memory!

Going to Disney always involves fantastic food. But Schula's stands out as a fine dining option with a casual vibe. Upon arrival (it's located in the Dolphin hotel) you are greeted by the host staff. We had a reservation but ended up waiting a good ten to fifteen min before being seated. Our servers were super attentive (they work in a team of two) and provided spot on recommendations for the apps, entrees and desserts (which must be ordered with entrees bc they are prepared to order). App - THEE Wedge salad Oh man, this dang salad was so dang gooooood! It had bacon jam and it was breathtakingly delicious lol the half wedge was good for two people. My boyfriend's mom ordered the whole one and it literally was two half's of a whole head of lettuce stacked on top of each other with a mound of dressing n top and in between. We had to help her out a bit This salad was recommended by our server and it will be something I dream about daily all the days of my life! Spectacular! (Maybe even the star of the meal). Bread - I loved the house made sourdough. It was piping hot and soft and delicious. The butter was also house made it was soft and salty and heavenly on the bread. The bread and butter had a kinda smokey, meaty flavor (most likely from proximity to the steaks being grilled) bc our server said there was nothing added purposely to give it that flavor. The biggest challenge of the night was ignoring the bread after having three pieces. I could have had the bread with the wedge and been happy and satisfied. Ribeye - Delish. No complaints. It was our second time getting it bc they are a steak house. Crab cake - blah. Too much breading. Not a star at all. Biggest disappointment of the dinner. Baked potato - eh. Nothing special. Lamb chops - Here we go! Freaking amazing! They were absolutely buttery tender and perfectly cooked (medium rare plus). They came with a minty puree of beans and while beans. They were kinda fatty tho. Other than that no complaints. I thought I was gonna burst by the way. I had to do deep breathing and meditation to make room for all this dang food y'all. Big portions. Mushrooms - ooooh weee they did something special to these booooy. Sooooo good! I so t know what was going on by my gosh they made those mushrooms memorable as hell! lol I'm sure I've never longed for a mushroom. Chocolate soufflé - not great. Bland. The three dessert choices were chocolate soufflé, chocolate lava cake, and apple crisp. I'm over apple desserts unless they are five and that's rare. Chocolate caramel is my jam. But this soufflé was a let down. Served with vanilla ice cream whipped cream and a vanilla anglaise. I could have just had the ice cream, whipped cream and anglaise and been happy. All in all, it's a lovely spot. Pricy but worth it. Another review giving it to you straight no chaser! Enjoy!
