Review of Be Our Guest -Counter Service Lunch

This is marketed as a counter service restaurant. Yes, you do stand in line to order and you have to grab your own silverware, but they bring to food to you at your table. I think the quality of the food is really good for both breakfast and lunch. There are 3 dining rooms and they are all decorated nicely. The east room is the darkest room where there is a portrait if the Beast/Price and it would be fun to eat there - but most everybody else feels the same way and I've never been able to get a table there. However, you can go in a look around after you've finished your meal elsewhere. Large restrooms on the way out are also a bonus.
Pros:
good food, fun atmosphere, nearly table serviceCons:

Excellent breakfast option! The table starts off with a small skillet full of fabulous cinnamon rolls and a large bowl of mixed fruit. Coffee, tea and/or juice is also included. Then comes the main course - a large skillet full of scrambled eggs, sausage, Bacon, tater tot's and Mickey shaped waffles. For those with gluten allergies, you get your own skillet with gluten free waffles as well as a blueberry muffin. That food was delicious. And it's fun to have the characters come by your table and take pictures as you're having breakfast.
Pros:
Able to accommodate food allergies. Fun to rotate and to see characters in different costumes than anywhere else.Cons:

This restaurant has a really fun atmosphere. I ordered the cheese plate for my appetizer - it was delicious. I then chose the baked fish and chips for my entrée. I was concerned when The Fish came out looking a little under done, and sure enough, a quarter of the fish was not cooked through. I was disappointed when I told my waitress and she said she would tell the chef but she never even offered an apology. I also ordered the gluten-free dessert - a scone with berries and cream. I thought the scone was lacking in flavor. I don't think I would order it again.
Pros:
Great location to view the show from.Cons:

I went to the cay with my family. They are all water babies and they really loved it. Except for the childcare center, which was nowhere near as good as on the ship. I am not a water baby. I enjoyed my lunch and took a tour of the cay, but there wasn't much for me to do. I ended up going back to the ship early where I reaped the benefits of having so many people gone - lots of room for those who stayed on the ship. Next time I go, I think that I will go there for lunch (different variety of food than on the ship) and then return to the ship and enjoy it in its uncrowded version.
Pros:
good lunch, leaves more room on the shipCons:

The World Of Avatar is spectacular. The artistic ability is incredible and so is the Flight Of Passage.

The location of this restaurant is very unique. We sat in the outside area right by the water, where they show the \"reflections of earth\" performance each night at Disney's Epcot. I ordered the hummus and olives for my appetizer. It came with two flavors of hummus - plain and tomato - and a small amount of olives. Everything tasted great, but I really was expecting more olives considering they were part of the title of the appetizer. For my entrée I ordered the mixed grill. It came with two skewers of meat, Rice, and green beans. Both skewers of meat were overcooked. I had a very hard time getting them off the skewers. I only ate two pieces from each skewer.
Pros:
Beautiful setting; can see the fireworks if you are seated outside and time it right.Cons:

If you're looking for a unique experience, this is an excellent restaurant to go to. Every seat in the restaurant faces a very large aquarium tank - just awesome. For my meal I had lobster bisque, grilled mahi-mahi, and the chocolate dome for dessert. Everything tasted great. This restaurant was very accommodating for gluten allergies. Everyone at the table enjoyed everything that they ordered. Highly recommend this place!
Pros:
Amazing to sit and watch the aquarium as you are having dinner.Cons:

The food here was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is nice and calming with a beautiful instrumental soundtrack playing in the background. They have a very large indoor, air-conditioned area to sit and eat your meal and the layout of the tables allow for a nice conversation areas.
Most of the meals come in 'bowl' form. I had the beef, rice and onion chimichanga sauce bowl. It was better than anything I've had to eat at Disney in a long time. The beef is cooked perfectly and sliced thin like you would have an a roast beef sandwich. It was lots of rice and it also came with a side of slaw. The portion was excellent! Plenty to fill you up.
They also offer a beverage bar. This allows you to have as much as you would like to drink with your meal. They also have actual silverware to eat your meal with. Both are Big bonuses for Disney - where most food is fast food style with plastic utensils.
They even have employees walking around to take your trays and to get your refills on your drinks.
I can't recommend this location highly enough! I will definitely eat here every time I come to animal kingdom in the future.
There's also staff walking around to help the customers.
Pros:
Free drink refills; real plates and cutlery; indoor and outdoor seatingCons:

It's a free ride from the airport! You used to have to pay $36 or something like that from Mears. They pick up your luggage for you and deliver it to your room. There are cartoons and fun Disney videos on the bus on the way. What's not to like????? Yes, it does sometimes take a while for your luggage to get delivered to your room. So take your medications, your bathing suit, one set of Florida clothes in your carry-on bag and you are in good shape. If you are traveling with small children, this is the way to go: they can be entertained by the videos during the trip. On one trip I was traveling with a person with a mobility disability. I called ahead and they made sure that we got a bus with handicapped lift. That lift and not having to carry your luggage made all the difference in the world on that trip. One time (out of about 50 Magic Express trips)our bus had to pull over to the side of the highway and we had to transfer to a different bus. They managed to make even that seem like an adventure. Only giving a 9 for the long luggage wait. But I can live with that given all the service that you get for FREE.
Pros:
easy, fun, no extra chargeCons:
sometimes long wait until luggage arrivesReview of Paradise Garden Grill

This is by far my favorite place to eat when I'm at California Adventure Park! I ordered the chicken kabob which came with rice, taziki sauce, cucumber salad and a large piece of pita bread for $11.99. It was a full meal - of healthy food - for a great price. They also offer the same plate but with steak or veggies. The other thing I appreciate is that the food is served on regular plates with flatware - no paper plates/plastic forks here!
It is a bit away from the front of the park, but I will definitely make the trip to eat here again the next time I'm at this park!
