Always have to wait 15-20 minutes past appointed time - very limited waiting area. Restaurant is very noisy. Food was good but quality has declined the past couple of years. Usually eat here twice during our stay - come every October. Will only make reservation for one time next year.
Pros:
Service was greatCons:

My mom and I split the entrée Cobb salad and a filet - this was the perfect amount of food for each of us. As always, the salad was amazing, and the filet was very good. My dad had the lamb two ways, mainly because he wanted the chop; he didn't care much for the lamb belly (but we didn't think he would). For dessert we did two of the sampler trios - one with 2 crème brulee and 1 grapefruit cake, and one with 1 crème brulee and 2 grapefruit cake - so each of us was able to have our two favorites. I just wish they would offer a full size portion of the cake like they do at the lounge outside.
Pros:
Wonderful server; the Cobb salad; the grapefruit cakeCons:

If you go, save your dining credits and just order the COBB SALAD. It's amazing, and pretty much the only thing that was outstanding. I regret spending double table credits for something that I could have just bought. The triple pork plate just didn't look appealing, but server Tim was outstanding. Trust me, just buy the Cobb Salad and the dessert trio.
Pros:
Ohmygoodness the COBB SALAD!!!Cons:
Over priced for meh kind of food.Reviewed by SharW Review Date: 10/24/2016

Ate here twice during the week of 10/10. First time everything was great - service, wait time to be seated and food was outstanding. Second time, the waiter acted very indifferent - like he really didn't care. Grandson ordered the grouper both times - first time great, second time not as good as the first. I have the beef the first time - was wonderful, husband had it the second time - not very good. I ordered the salmon the second time and it was extremely bland - not taste at all, like they never seasoned it. First time we have ever been disappointed with a meal here.

This was the first time I had eaten there in probably two decades. Overall, the food was exceptional with equally fantastic service. I started with the martini flight which was well mixed. For an appetizer I tried the Carrot and Ginger Soup with duck confit and chive oil. It was much creamier and lighter than I was expecting. For my entree I had the Pork Three Ways with Georges Bank scallops. This was probably the best meal I have had at Disneyworld in the many years I've been coming here. The pork was tender and full of juice and the balsamic punch of the chimichurri sauces complimented the pork flavors very well. The sweet corn-chili spoon bread the only drawback to he meal. It was good but a bit dry and not really sweet.
The waiter had excellent timing, never bringing anything out until I was done with what I was currently eating and always made sure my water glass was full. Normally I don't care about that but I was impressed he never let it get below half full. He was very in tune with his guests tables and seemed to know exactly when to show up.
I highly recommend trying this place at least once. The menu is kind of limited and I don't know if it would be a good idea to take kids if they aren't adventurous eaters. I saw many families getting burgers which kind of defeats the purpose of going to one of Disney's more up-scale dinning options.

This was our first time eating here. We came for lunch. It was awesome. The food was great and the service was very good. I rated it a 9 only because we waited a long time for a second drink..no fun to be eating with nothing to drink. We will definitely be back again!

Hands down the best meal we had all week on our vacation! The atmosphere was a bit plain i expected a more "horsey" off to the races type atmosphere mixed with the celebrity pictures - our server was efficient but not spectacular - the food was wonderful! I will definitely go back! However, again, as far as i know this dinner experience has a dress code of nice pants and shirts...not many people followed and if you are going to have a dress code then please make sure people follow it -
