Hubby and I ate here for the first time on 3/4/13, the first night of our trip. We were seated almost immediately after our arrival. I had the chicken parm, and Hubby had the tuna steak. The food was good, nothing spectacular, but fine for our standards. Service was slow. It took a long time for our food to arrive. Another table next to us who arrived after us with more people got their food before we did. Our server did come by several times to see if we needed anything including drinks. When we were done it took a while for our check to come too. I would probably give this place another try. Just don't go if you're in a hurry or have to be some place else in a short period of time.

Had a wonderful late lunch here on Saturday March 24. We made reservations when we entered the park around 11AM and had a reservation for 1:20. It was not crowded in the restaurant and we were seated promptly. We had a great server. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and it did not dissapoint. Four meatballs were too much for me but they gave a nice amount of pasta and the sauce was delicious. I tried some of my dining companions' chicken parm and it was also very good. I had the California wine flight and that was delightful! 2oz pours of a Zinfandel, Merlot, and Chard. if I remember correctly. Very nice meal.

We dined at Mama Melrose's on Feb. 14th as part of the Fantasmic VIP Package. Our waiter was extremely attentive and very helpful answering all of our questions. We enjoyed all of our food with one exception. My mom order the meat & cheese appetizer for two and we did not enjoy it at all. Will definitely stay away from that in the future but other than that everything was wonderful. The calamari, salad, steak, pasta, chicken....all excellent! Only downfall was that it rained almost all day and that night our showing of Fantasmic was cancelled. But we will definitely be back again next time!

Plate of Meat & Cheese for 2Reviewed by jnscook Review Date: 03/11/2013

All members of my family got spaghetti with meatballs. It was good enough. We had the gellato, chocolate cheesecake, and the chocolate cake for desert. They were all good enough. I know by reading the description of this restaurant that part of the "fun" is supposed to be nagging mothers as your servers. Didn't see any of those. Did have a waiter who was good at his job but I really don't like having waiters who act as though they are doing me a favor to be there. Not sure whether it was arrogance or boredom or the theme or the restaurant, but a friendly waiter goes a long way. Having said that...on a 6 day trip, will this be one of the places we eat...yes. It is crowd pleasing, decent food with good unfriendly service! LOL!

We ate here last year and loved our meal. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal this trip. The kids loved the bread w/ oil for dipping. The kids and adults also enjoyed the huge spaghetti and meatball cupcake!

This was our first time dining here. It was a very positive experience. Our food was delicious and the service was very good. We were celebrating my son's birthday and they brought him the spaghetti and meatball cupcake with a candle. That was really nice and the cupcake was adorable and tasty too! We will be back with the whole family this summer.

My wife and I ate here for Marathon weekend. I chose this place for the pasta as I was running the half the next day. Overall the food was good but portion size does not equal price. We did not use DDP since it was a short trip. The waiter seemed put off that I ordered water. The wife order a soda so maybe it was me. I would eat here again.

This was my fifth or sixth time booking a reservation at Mama Melrose's. Very disappointing.
The service was slow and our server seemed bored to have our table. One entree was totally forgotten!
In the past the food was marvelous -- not so this time. One of our party ordered the vodka shrimp penne - all of FOUR SHRIMP! The menu did not say the dish was garnished with shrimp!
I ordered the charred steak, and it was tough. Actually had steak at two other locations and it melted in my mouth, so it must have been the chef.
Anyhow, I won't be eating here again...so sad to say goodbye to what had been my favorite.

We ate here on 1/18/13...the food was great! I had the penne vodka, my kids had the strip steak and my husband had the chicken parm. It was all very good...no complaints!
