One Epcot Restuarant We Won’t Return to – Space 220
Features:
- 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 it is brand new and they are still working out the kinks, but as of now, I would say there are some much better options.
