My husband and I started off the first night of our honeymoon at Cinderella's Royal Table for dinner. I had heard that this was a nice romantic spot for couples, where people get engaged and celebrate honeymoons. Boy was I wrong! We had an 8:15 dinner reservation and there were TONS of little kids. Yelling toddlers, not children who would get a lot from this experience. The table next to us had three little boys dressed up as pirates who were very antsy (why would you do this to them??) We were seated at a really nice table next to the window, but the service was ho hum. Our meal was served about two minutes after our appetizers, so it was hard to focus on either and felt rushed. We both ordered the filet, which was nicely done. Princesses (Snow White, Ariel, Aurora, and Jasmine) entered the room one at a time and were announced during the entire dinner and came around for pictures. I did one or two happily, but then I started feeling like I was five. My husband received a plastic sword and I received a plastic wand. It was funny, but NOT Romantic. Very lovely to see the fireworks going off right next to our window and the novelty of being inside the castle made it worth it (although not sure $150 worth it…). We did it, but we will not be back! Will go to the French Restaurants at Epcot instead.
Pros:
Nice view of Fireworks, Food Pretty GoodCons:

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:

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 cyoung Review Date: 02/01/2016

We went there without kids so that was our first mistake. The characters weren't important to us and they all got sad faces when we said we really didn't need our pictures with them. The food was okay. I had scallops for an appetizer and it came with one not very big scallop. I had steak and shrimp for the entree and ended up with about 5 spoonfuls of mashed potatoes, a piece of steak that I could have hidden in the palm of my hand along with 2 average shrimps. The cheesecake and strawberry desert consisted of cheesecake and half of a strawberry.

The princesses all came to our table and gave the kids autographs. They were both pretty thrilled. The food was ok, but not the best we had all week. The castle was pretty awesome.

We only ate here because DD(7) went to BBB & dressed as Cinderella.
Best part was meeting Cinderella for the picture before dinner. She was lovely.
Dinner was average at best. Small portions, just ok choices. Our server was very nice & very attentive. When DD food was served, something was on her plate - possibly a strand of hair?? Server took it away & came back with a brand new plate of food.
The princesses were so rushed, you could barely get one picture with our camera. Now what bothered me was across from us was a table that included 4 girls of different ages. The princesses made such a fuss over that table - which in itself is great. That is the way the princesses should behave. But then when they came to our table - DH & I & DD(7), they were so rushed, Aurora forgot to come to our table all together!! I could sense that DD was aware of this so diner was not so magical.
Not too sure I will return again. I think Disney is missing the whole point of eating in Cinderella's Castle - so much more could be offered to make this more magical.

Delicious food, but a little confusing for the kiddo. We were seated quickly upon checking in and didn’t get any hint about seeing Cinderella. Friends had told us that when they had gone (a year ago) she came to wave from the balcony during dinner, but now you either see her before or after your meal. We were an after and didn’t really know that. So my 7 year old spent the entire dinner asking where Cinderella was.
She did declare Cinderella’s Mac and cheese the best at Disney World. She ate it all. And some of her veggies. She loved making her own cupcake as well, and took many pictures.
I had a lovely steak, properly prepared. Very good dessert as well.
The view and the beauty of eating IN the castle is really special. And we did get our turn to thank Cinderella for having us to the castle for dinner. So that worked out in the end. Just be prepared for the unexpected I guess. It seems like they’ve changed how it works a few times and I bet they’ll change it again.
Pros:
Delicious food, delicious desserts, you are IN the castle!Cons:

We really enjoyed our dinner, the characters were interactive and spent time at the table chatting. Our server was excellent and kept checking on us and did a great job explaining the food and answering all our questions. I had the chicken and polenta and both were good, my husband had the pork and also enjoyed his food. The flourless cake tasted more like a brownie, but that was ok. It’s a little pricey for the food quality, but the experience makes up the difference.
