Four of us had dinner here Sunday Oct 22. Food was delicious, service was solid. Always a good choice. Wine recommendations were also spot on.

After several years of not having eaten at the Wilderness Lodge, we finally made it back on Sunday 10/15. I was pleased that it was just as good as I recalled. We did not have a reservation, but were seated within just a few minutes. It was not very crowded. Our waiter was very attentive. I stared with the land greens salad, which was great. For entree I had the buckwheat agnolotti, while my mom had the Buffalo. Both were superb, and quite filling as well. So full in fact we did not have room for desert! In terms of price, it was on par with the quality (although we do have tables in wonderland, which certainly helps). Overall, it was everything a signature restaurant should be, and worth returning too.
Pros:
Excellent cuisine, atmosphere, and serviceCons:

We've tried Artist Point in the past, but it's been quite awhile. We visited last month and were happy to see that the same quality food and service are still there! Our server was terrific and made some excellent recommendations. The bread service was delicious to start our meal. I also enjoyed the Land salad. It was amazing! Our server convinced me to try the buffalo strip loin, and I'm so happy I did! Delicious!!! As was the farro side dish (where can I get that recipe???). My husband loved the salmon, their signature dish. We truly enjoyed this special dining experience.

In a word, Wow! This was our family's favorite meal of our 11 day trip. Because we stayed at two different resorts we were able to split our dining plan - deluxe for first 5 days and standard for remaining 6. During the deluxe portion of our stay we decided to try a few signature dining experiences that we either had never tried before (Artist Point & Citrico's) or hadn't been to in a long time (Le Cellier).
We went to Artist Point on Christmas Eve. This was our one "dress up" meal and we were all looking forward to it. We were not disappointed in any way.
We were seated right at our reservation time. We had a wonderful server and a manager visited our table as well. We never felt rushed but our food arrived pretty quickly too which I think is a good combination.
I had the smoked mushroom soup which was incredible. And followed it up with the salmon as my entrée. Again, incredible. My family ordered filets and veal as their entrees.
Our server was very friendly and helpful with menu selections. When a manager visited us he was happy to tell us about the chef's favorite selections as well as the history of the restaurant itself without ever feeling intrusive.
It was just a great experience. We all agreed this was far and away our favorite meal of our trip. Le Cellier was our next favorite but honestly, we felt Artist Point was in a league of it's own. The bill would have been north of $400 before tip...so glad were able to go!

Artist Point built a very good reputation for many years before taking a downturn a few years back. Based on our last two visits, it's on the rebound thanks to a new(ish) chef. The newer menu has kicked aside some of the Asian fusion elements that never made much sense and returned to focusing on the main stars--the salmon and the buffalo to name a couple. Service has been excellent, and the wine list continues to be superb. I will admit--as another reviewer noted--that the plating and sides need to be re-evaluated. I'm all for smaller portions in fine dining, but then your accompaniments must be beyond reproach and sometimes AP's aren't. Overall, though, AP remains a gem for us.
Pros:
Ambiance, wine list, serviceCons:

Our family love Artist Point. But on June 30, we had the worst meal we have ever had a Walt Disney World signature restaurant. No doubt the extensive refurb has something to do with the obviously fewer Cms in the resort, the comparative lack of guests but does this also explains the narrowing of the menu and the appalling service provided by the lady CM who plainly new little about the menu.
Such a disappointing experience.

We ate here during our trip in May. We checked in and were directed to the main podium where we waited while the cast member who was there went to speak to another cast member- something about someone being pulled to server. Perhaps TMI for a guest to overhear let alone wait while the conversation was going on. Our food and service was fine. Our table was not in the main dining room again. Main dining room was not full. We were seated at the same table along the glass over looking the walkway to Roaring Forks the last time we ate there. Atmosphere was also less than desirable as they created a table for 10 or 12 near us. Not a signature dining experience this time.

Based on the reviews, my wife and I looked forward to our visit to Artist Point. The atmosphere was less than the "magical" experience you come to expect at Disney. While the server was very pleasant, we both found the food to be very disappointing. We felt that the taste of the food suffered due to the restaurants desire for an "over the top" presentation of the food. Having said all of this, this was the only disappointment of the entire trip.

My husband and I ate here for my birthday. We are Disney passholders and have eaten at many Disney restaurants, including most of the Signature Dining restaurants. After eating here, Artist Point has entered my top 5 favorites (other stand out meals I have had were at Be Our Guest, Cinderella's Royal Table, Narcoossee's, and the former Bistro de Paris). I had the cedar plank salmon, and the olive tapenade absolutely made the dish. It was delicious!! My husband had the buffalo strip loin, which he enjoyed as well. We started out with the artisanal cheeses, which we have enjoyed at several Disney restaurants and they were wonderful, as usual. We have celebrated my birthday every year at Disney for the past decade or so, and either Disney has pulled back on their celebrations or Artist Point is just understated. They gave me a standard birthday cupcake. Nothing special. Overall, though, fabulous meal, highly recommend!

We had another great meal at Artist Point! We were a party of seven and I had to break the reservation into parties of five and two, but when we arrived, I asked if they could accommodate seven and they could indeed. The food and service at Artist Point are excellent. Well worth the price you pay.
