Me and my family ate here for dinner one night. While it was cool being in the castle, the food is not the best. It is a once and done kind of thing.
Pros:

Cinderella’s Royal Table was a cute experience. When I went with my daughter, she loves meeting all of the princesses and actually being in the castle. However, the food is just fine and it is too pricey for the quality of the food. You could meet the same characters at Akershush in EPCOT where the food is much better. Overall, if you’re kids are princess lovers, you should take them just because of the cool atmosphere, but you do not need to repeat. If your party is just adults, I would probably skip this one.
Pros:
You get to see a bunch of princesses You get to go in the castleCons:

Where do I begin with this review?!? Did my kids love the castle...yes. Did my kids love seeing JUST Cinderella...yes. Did my kids and us enjoy the food...NO! Way OVERPRICED for food I could easily make at home. Do I know that I was basically paying to be in the castle... yes. With that said why I am seriously disappointed in this restaurant is this, when I called to specifically inquire about the restaurant, I spoked with a dining cast member and explained that this meal was for my daughters 10th birthday, I asked about the "extra" birthday stuff they do. The cast member told me they will do a small little cupcake thing and there is a wand... I even double checked because we were going post covid, I was reassured that it would still happen because it was for a birthday. Nothing special happened. I spoke with a server who told me they don't do it anymore, who then referred me to some lady (wizard of oz behind a curtain basically) and she told me that the cast member who helped me book this restaurant was informed. She wasn't very kind or helpful in the matter. My daughter (10) who happens to be autistic was heart broken because she picked this place for her birthday dinner. I really wish all cast members were on the same page. The whole experience was average and nothing spectacular. Seriously save the money and either do breakfast or eat some place else.

Was great before covid. Now near the end of the pandemic and only Cinderella for 5 minutes waving from 20 feet away. Still paying the same $300+ for a family of 5 that we paid pre covid but getting much less for the money.

We visited in January 2021, so this is a review of the modified experience.
The servers/cast members were very kind and service was prompt. The food was average and I wish they had more choices for dinner entrees. We ordered the lamb dish and the fish of the day (salmon.) Both were cooked properly but the side dishs/ragout were a little underseasoned. The desserts were excellent though ("The clock strikes 12" chocolate mousse and "Jaq and Gus" cheesecake (pumpkin this time).
Cinderella came out on occasion and waved but it wasn't possible to get good pictures/selfies with her from where we were seated. So don't expect to have great pictures after this meal.
While I'm glad we had this experience, I don't plan on returning. I'd rather try other restaurants that we haven't visited yet, or go back to our favorites at MK (Liberty Tavern, Crystal Palace...).
Pros:
Eating in the castle is a unique experience.Cons:
Food is average with limited choices. Expensive (and you have to prepay).Reviewed by toolmanjan Review Date: 11/22/2017

The only reason to dine here is to meet the princesses.
11/14 We showed up 15min early and were turned away. No big deal I had read they do this. We returned at our time and were ushered in to the "lobby" for a picture with Cinderella. After a 30min wait in the lobby we were brought upstairs to be seated. The food and service were OK but not on par with price paid.
I would only recommend dining here if your priority was to met the princesses and were willing to pay $$$ to do so.
Pros:
interaction with Disney PrincessCons:
Price & foodReviewed by Donald_13 Review Date: 08/05/2016

Over priced, catered to more of a Disney princess dining. My boys hated every minute there.
The food was served to a high end degree, starting off with a cheese plate with cold meats.
Followed by your main dish witch was pver cooked and the vegetable's coated in a lot of butter.
I would only recommend this restaurant if you are going with girls who like the Disney Princesses and don't care about what food they eat.

We decided to go here b/c we wanted a great meal for the adults with great food. I have 2 boys, so while they liked the princesses, but it wasn't anything crazy special for them (they were more into Donald, Mickey, Chip & Dale, etc. in the other places).
I figured for 2 dining tickets, it would have been amazing. I should've read the reviews first. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't high end like I'd expect.
The pork belly confit was pretty good but not great. The steak and shrimp, which came way too quickly (I was barely finished w/ my app, and I eat pretty quickly), wasn't what I was expecting. The meat quality was ok, but it wasn't a high end steak. The shrimp were fairly bland. The mashed potatoes were good, but nothing I couldn't make myself.
All in all, I would say to only go here if you have girls that will love the princesses. Otherwise, not worth it.

We went to Cinderella's Royal Table for Dinner, mostly because we wanted to try it & see the inside of the castle. If we could have gotten a reservation for breakfast, I'm sure we would have enjoyed it more, but for dinner it is just so below Disney quality, it is surprisingly bad.
I am a Disney super-fan, addict, whatever you want to call me so most of the time, in my eyes Disney can do no wrong. Which is why I was was surprisingly disappointed with this experience. After we were checked in we were told Cinderella wasn't available to do our photo so they would come and get us durin gour meal to come down and do it, which was just really inconvenient. I would have rather done it at the end but then we would have had to wait around for the picture. Anyway the what should have been enchanting spiral staircase leading up to the dining room was well, filthy, and musty and desperately needs to be cleaned. Once we were in the dining I was surprised by the thickness in the air and the smell wasn't a smell that made my mouth water, it was more of a hospital cafeteria type smell. While our waitress was wonderful, attentive and helpful, she was definitely the highlight of this experience.
There is no way to sugar caot this- the food is bad. The rolls served before dinner were the best part. I 100% understand that you're there for the experience, but I mean come ON at least try a little bit with the food! Its Disney, there is NO excuse for such poor quality food, period. We did laugh and smile and enjoy the little wishing ceremony and the princesses were absolutley delightful but the meal itself and the poor ventilation or whatever it was kinda left me with a pretty disappointed feeling. I mean, its Cinderella Castle and it is NOT cheap, it is THE Disney World icon, you would think they would really want to dazzle whomever was able to land such a coveted reservation. But I guess they don't have to, so they dont- which kind of stinks if you ask me.
Anyway, I've heard Akerhaus in Norway at Epcot is better and less expensive so maybe we'll try it next time to compare.
To sum it up, I have dreamed of being inside that castle since I was a little girl and I was disappointed- boo hoo poor me 😉 Not the end of the world and I still adore all things Disney but seriously, LET THE BUYER BEWARE!
