Ate here a couple days ago and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Loved the food too!! It was better than any of us were expecting.

our dining party was sick (except for me oddly) after dining here today.... whether it was just one of those things or something is wrong with this location, guess will never know. aside from that it was nice and all, however it did take one full hour before the entrees ever arrived.
starting to think they may have issues, anyone else dine here today?
what bothered me the most was you have to go through five or six check in points with various different people before you ever even get inside the dining room. just way too complicated and over done.

STE was amazing. Details. Options. In some areas it was done better the Galaxies Edge.

Its a shame it closed I thought the main experience where you got beamed up and the borg encounter were great fun. Even the futuristic slots and restrooms added to the experience.

He couldn’t have been more right 5 years ago.
But I saw mentioned in the Guardians thread that Space 220 has walk up availability? I didn’t want to go further down the off-topic rabbit hole, so how does that work?

Basically just show up at the restaurant around 10:15 am (there will most likely be a line) and when you get to the cast member they can make a reservation for that day for your party. I just did it the other day, it worked out pretty well

It’s actually somewhat easy to get…don’t book at 60…there’s a release at 30…within a few days of date people dump it and it opens up some. The egregious price is probably why they dump it. It is really expensive so if people are committed to the novelty…I think many bypass it

Is the reservation imminent or at any point in the day? And does the whole party need to go, or just one person?

Well today they definitely did not have walk-up availability. I was given the option to wait anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour and 20 minutes for a bar seat. It ended up being 45 minutes.

Reservation is for lunch or dinner, I got 5:45pm for mine. Only one person needs to be there to make the reservation for their party.

We ate there first weekend in June and the food quality and service were terrible.
Aside from the windows intro space, the interior is an awful gray box... (Think old B-list airport) The bar area is miserable looking...just part of the room with a mirror so you can see you are in space...This all could have been done so much better. Such an enormous missed opportunity to create something really beautiful and special...Unless we were just there on an off day, we all decided that this would be our last trip to Space 220... A very expensive, "mediocre at best" meal... And honestly, the interior is not nearly worth it. HUGE Boo on this place.

We ate on Friday. As someone who has a mild allergy to allium (onions, leeks, scallions etc) this was a very hard place to eat. No accommodations offered just had to pick from the adult menu and they removed items I couldn't have. I had hoped for chicken and waffles but the waffles were out. Seriously onion in waffle batter that they couldn't prepare a batch for me without it. As a non red-meat eater it was hard. Since it was an allergy and we were in the lounge portion I was able to pick the one thing I could eat (chicken and cheesy polenta - lentils were even out). Food for me was excellent. My husband's food was bland and we had the same chicken.... he just got appetizer (calamari) and the full options for the chicken. So they took care to make sure my chicken was well seasoned. His was not (he had what I couldn't finish). Kid's food (smashburger) was okay.
We did have excellent service. It was cool. It was fun in a way but as the restaurant got more crowded it was super loud. The screens became highly repetitive and never saw the darn space puppy the hour+ we were there. Being one of the first seated gave us a better view of the area before all entered. We likely won't go back unless the menu changes. It was so complicated and the chef never came out to talk to me, just kept the poor server going back and forth. Fortunately I made good guesses on what I could eat in the end.

I think she said, that they said, that onions were an ingredient in the batter used to make the waffles. You know.... every chef has got to get fancy.
Given your specific and unique food restrictions, I really don't think it's fair to knock them on the fact that they can't construct a custom dish specifically for you. I'm pretty sure they were as accommodating as possible, all Disney food locations go above and beyond basically any place on the planet to accommodate special and specific guest needs, but there is ultimately a limit.
I was there last year and enjoyed it. I wasn't expecting a gourmet experience, but between the ambiance, drinks, and the and food it was nicely done. Yes it is expensive for what you get, but what Restaurant on Disney isn't? Give it a shot. At least you can say you tried it.

I will eventually make it but as a local we are often going after work and rarely on the weekends. Our "trick" just about everywhere on site is to just drop into a majority of the restaurants and just sit at the bar. This place doesn't allow for that option apparently. It will happen, but I'm definitely not in a rush. We only live about 15 minutes from WDW property but have so many better options off site as well.
I'm not sure if it changed, but you had been able to do a walk up and sit either in the lounge or the bar. We ate at the bar once and in the lounge another time. Each time we didn't have ADRs and the wait time was minimal (20 minutes).
