Confisco Grille & Backwater Bar Overview
Discover international flavors at Confisco Grille featuring fare from the Mediterranean, Asia, and more. Among the menu options are house specialties including Pad Thai, Sweet and Sour Sticky Ribs, and Pumpkin Hummus. Plus, the menu also offers options for travelers with different dietary needs including gluten free and vegetarian options.
Also, just like the hodge podge menu, the restaurant’s theming is a bit random and fun too. Around Confisco Grille, and especially in the front lobby, guests can spot “confiscated goods” acquired from travelers exploring the park’s themed islands. This reinforces the restaurant’s loose theme of being the “customs house” for the Port of Entry section of the theme park.
Plus, attached to the full-service restaurant, is Backwater Bar which serves up a variety of cocktails, beer, and wine for the thirsty traveler.
