Ate dinner here the end of Feb. First off, the place is beautiful. For that reason alone, it is worth eating at. That being said, I'm glad we ate here once, but would probably skip for next few trips. We were seated promptly at our reservation time in the west wing. We walked through the grand ballroom, which was amazing, to a smaller, dark room. The room was perfectly decorated for beast's castle, right down to the rose. However, keeping with the theme, meant it was very dark. Nothing that I struggled with, however, my parents (60's), had to put a little more effort into reading the menu. 🙂 The french onion soup was amazing. I got the salmon on leek fondue. It was very very good. My DH got the shrimp and scallops. He said it was good, but not the best thing he's ever had. Desserts were good, but again, not the best we've ever had. DD6 ate all her steak and DD4's mac and cheese was swimming in butter so much that even she, would not eat it.
Would go back, but not for a while.

My family dined here on February 10th. First off, this restaurant is BEAUTIFUL! The ballroom is stunning, especially the ceiling & the chandeliers. My niece loved the snow falling that you could see. The food we ordered was very tasty. I ordered the steak and it was done to perfection....very juicy! The triple chocolate cupcake was heavenly! Will definitely go back on our next visit!
My only cons which I had prepared myself for were that it's kind of noisy and quite dark. It was hard to read the menu.

This is a beautiful restaurant and the theming outside and in is just great. We ate in the ballroom and it was so neat watching the snow come down.
Our food was really good, however, I think they need some other options for the kids. I got fries with my steak, but had to ask for my son. Your on vacation...fries once in awhile are OK. And what is wrong with chicken nuggets?
Our waitress was very nice, but a little slow and seemed a bit overwhelmed with her tables. We got some grey stuff (it is delicious) because it was my son's birthday. I had ordered a cake as a surprise, but had to ask about it becuase it did not come out. Still was nice.
Returning in July for another visit.

We dined here for dinner on 2/27/13. We had reservations for 4:25pm but still had to wait. We were seated in the main ballroom which was very large and beautiful, but very noisy and the tables were too close together. (where was the rose gallery room anyway?) Another note, the tables were very small and you could hear silverware constantly being dropped on the floor. I was impressed with the chef visiting my table due to my shellfish allergy. The steak I ordered was excellent but a bit on the small side. I was disappointed with the pommes frites as they were more like steak fries and not like the shoestring fries that are found in France. The kids were not happy with the food choices (why isn't there a croque monsieur (aka grilled cheese) on the dinner menu?) and they gave the kids half a plate of broccoli which was laughable. Having a glass of wine was nice though. The cupcakes were a nice ending to the meal and seeing the Beast afterward, however would have liked Belle there as well or even Lumiere. I think next time will go for lunch instead!

I enjoyed the French Onion Soup and the Shrimp and Scallops in the Pastry. My husband ordered the steak and it was cooked to perfection. The bread and seasalt butter was a nice touch. We both enjoyed our meals very much. We ordered the strawberry cupcake and shared it for dessert and found it to be good but not great.
The tables are just a wee too close together as this is an expensive dinner and I really do not want to hear my table mates conversations but it was unavoidable. A lovely restaurant otherwise!

Beautiful and Enjoyable Atmosphere, FoodCons:

Wanted to try BOG and waited on phone over an hour to get ADRs. Ate there for dinner 2/8. Server started out great but then disappeared after we got our food. DH and I both had steak. Thought it was odd to be served with fries. Especially when the server told me they are trying to offer healthier options for kids. My two DDs got steak and liked it, but there was nothing my DS6 would eat, apart from fruit appetizer (not included in ddp anymore). Fortunately, I knew the kids menu was going to be a problem for him and made sure he got a good lunch.
The steak was a little hard to cut and had some gristle. It was very thin as well. Not really juicy. I thought the desserts were disappointing, and had hoped for more than cupcakes and cream puffs.
It was a great setting and we enjoyed meeting the beast after dinner. However, we probably won't go back for a few trips.

I don't dole out a "10" rating lightly, but Be Our Guest deserves it.
Our waiter, Chris, was amazing. He told us when to have our cameras ready so we could get a picture of the Beast when he made his surprise entrance (we also got to take pictures with him in the library).
The wine was awesome (Chris recommended Conundrum--it was AMAZING), so was the beer.
The charcuterie board was delicious, but be warned it has two pates (but we love pate!).
Entrees were good--the steak and pork chops were the favorites, the seafood in puff pastry was just okay.
Dessert was awesome--the strawberry cupcake is the best. We had a birthday in our party and got to try "the grey stuff!" So cute!
And of course, the atmosphere is better than anything Disney has ever done before!

Food, service, atmosphere, pictures with Beast!Cons:

We had dinner here on February 3. We were seated within minutes of our reservation time. I had the shrimp and scallops in a lobster bisque served in a flaky pastry puff. One of the best meals I had all week. The wine pairing suggested on the menu was spot on. Number one son had the Cornish game hen and loved it, number 2 son had Salmon and loved it. Three different dessert choices all very good. Number 1 son was wearing a birthday pin and received a special dessert, The Grey Stuff....he said the dishes were right.
The service was spotty. We were seated in the West Wing. Very intimate. Not nearly as noisy as the ballroom and the tables were much farther apart. The affects are truly Disney. The after dinner visit with the Master was fun. He was very engaging for a character that does not speak. I think the big problem here is congestion. The entire new area of Fantasy land is very crowded.

My husband and I ate here at 6:05 on 2/1/13. Though lines at check-in were long we were seated very quickly after checking in. The resturant was absolutely beautiful. We were seated in the ballroom and I loved the effect of the falling snow through the large glass windows.
I ordered the potato leek soup to start which was very good. My husband had the assorted meats and sausages which he said were just ok and he would not order again. For my entree I had the cornish hen which had absolutely no flavor/seasoning at all. The accompanying potatoes were also very bland. My husband got the shrimp and scallops which he also says was very bland and seemed to be missing the creamy lobster sauce mentioned in the menu since it was really dry. For dessert, I had the chocolate cupcake which I enjoyed and my husband had the chocolate cream puff which he said was just ok.
Overall, we were very disappointed with this restaurant. The place is so nice inside, we were able to look around a little after dinner and have our picture with The Beast, but it doesn't make up for how bad the food was. This place is also fairly expensive, I think our bill was $80 or so and that was without any alcohol, but the food was only slightly better than counter service. Such a shame because the theming is great.

Pretty bad foodReviewed by JoanneS Review Date: 02/06/2013

The restaurant is really lovely and the attention to detail is fantastic. However, the meal left a little to be desired. First, it's so dark in the ballroom, you need a flashlight to see the menu. This was also a problem once my steak arrived. I hate fat, and I couldn't see the steak well enough to trim it before putting it into my mouth. Also, if you're going to serve steak, you should supply steak knives. I came very close to just giving up and picking up the steak whole and biting into it! The butter knife just didn't cut it. No pun intended. This was the most expensive meal we had on our trip and it was probably my least favorite. Dessert is ok, but it's hard to get the paper off the cupcakes without getting your hands all messy. Once again I gave up and just used a spoon to scoop out cupcake bits. The tables are also very close together. The Beast comes out every now and then and walks up and down one of the aisles, but doesn't visit with anyone or do anything, so what's the point? To top it off, we also had a rather haughty server who disappeared for long periods of time. I don't think we'll be back for dinner for a while.
