One Epcot Restuarant We Won’t Return to – Space 220

- Cuisine: American
- Atmosphere: Futuristic space-themed restaurant with an immersive elevator ride to a space station.
- Specialty: Space-themed dining experience with panoramic views of Earth from space.
Critiques:
- Overpriced: We found the food to be overpriced for the quality.
- Mediocre Food: The dishes are just average, and the overall dining experience does not justify the cost.
Space 220 is filled with hype, and yes, the elevator ride up to space is awesome, but after that, well, it’s overpriced food that was just kind of meh. I will have to say, it might be because we tried it when it was brand new and they were still working out the kinks, but nonetheless, I would say there are some much better options.
Whether you’re in the mood for a gourmet meal or a family-friendly buffet, these top EPCOT restaurants ensure that your dining experience is as magical as the park itself.
