The food was good nothing more. There is no real atmosphere there to tell you that you are anywhere of note, could be the corner restaurant in your own neighborhood. Will not revisit unless they do something to peek my interest.

Food was outstanding, I had Kevin's Heavenly ham, the portion was too much for me, My daughter had the Salmon and my niece the Sheperds Pie. Both said their meals were very good. Sat near the stage so the band was good and not as loud as one would think, the dancers were very entertaining. Will go back again.
Pros:
Excellent food, large portionsCons:

My spouse and I ate at Be Our Guest on Wednesday, October 1st and Monday, October 6th. Our Wednesday reservation was our first time. While waiting on the bridge I was a little concerned, what do the diners do if its raining. There are no areas of coverage on the bridge and the cast member guarding the entrance is tougher than the Beast could ever be (in a good and funny way). I really enjoyed being able to carry the Lumiere figurine to our table. I bet some of the cast members have a hard time getting it back from the kids. We were seated in the Ballroom where the Beast and Bell had their first dance. This room is simply beautiful. The effect of falling snow seen from the magnificent windows is breath taking. The Ballroom transports you right into the movie. We started our first meal with Champagne and French Onion soup. The French Onion Soup was a true delight, so rich in flavor, we instantly knew we were going to start our second seating on Monday with the soup again. Dinner was Grilled Strip Steak for him and Thyme-Scented Pork Rack Chop for me. The highlights of those dishes were the great cuts of meats on both plates, cooked to perfection. The AuGratin Macaroni out of this world. On, yeah, the gray stuff is delicious. The serving staff were on the top of their game. Our second seating on Monday, October 6th we were seated in the Rose Gallery. The room was dark with a feeling of despair, but leave it to Disney to make it still give you a feeling of romance. I now know how Belle could come to love a Beast. This place will put warmth in your heart and belly. Be Our Guest instantly was added to our list of the best restaurants in Walt Disney World. Loved, loved, loved it!

We ate at Kona on Sunday, September 28th before heading over to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. This is one of our favorite places to eat in Disney World. Truth be told we have at least 10 places we call our favorites. The food and staff at Kona is stellar. We started off with the Cucumber Roll. They were perfection on a plate. You can't go wrong with some of the freshest ingredients. Entrees consisted of the Grilled New York Strip Steak each. The meat was so tender it melted in your mouth along with the accompanying molasses-bacon butter. The fingerling potatoes were roasted to such a delectable crisp. Kona is a truly hidden gem and we are so happy that we have shared this place together for so many years and we pray for many years to come.

We ate at 'Ohana on Monday, September 29th. This place is unbelievable, the food is so delicious that you have to force yourself to stop eating. As were being escorted to our table the host said we had the best table in the place. We were seated at a window table for two. To my surprise the view was a direct head on view of Cinderella's Castle. The wait staff was on point. We waited for nothing from start to finish. Excellent staff, best view and food that makes your toes curl. 'Ohana never lets us down, it just gets better and better each year.

The Biergarten has always been a luncheon tradition during WDW visits. This menu has changed ALOT!!! The entire buffet had hot delicious food, carving station with two meats and yummy desserts. Great variety of everything. The cheese beer soup was better than Le Cellier in Canada. We met a very nice couple and spent time visiting and talking and felt no rush leave the Biergarten. Can't wait to go back!!
Pros:
New menu with new varietiesCons:

It has been a 10+ year tradition to go to Ohana's during our visit. The food has always been plentiful from the appetizers to the bread pudding with fantastic mai tais. This past week's visit was quite disappointing. Early dining reservations were made 6 months ago and the request to sit near a window was not done. The hostess was not happy to satisfy our request, but did it. The mai tais were poor in flavor and no taste any liquor. The dumpling and chicken wings appetizers were cold; the chicken wings were sticky and good.
The beef was tough and grizzly; the pork was hot and delicious and the shrimp was great with the dipping sauces. The hostess was correct...to save room for the bread pudding. It was extremely flavorful and delicious.
It is doubtful about returning to Ohana's during any future visits.

We both ordered the Fried Shrimp dinners which were served up quickly.
Mine were a bit over fried but by the time I got to a table the line had lengthened and I wasn't going back.
The cole slaw was fresh and tasty.
I was surprised you have to ask for lemon at a sea food restaurant, even a walk up.
With all the research Disney does, why do walk up diners have to wander to find a seat while their food gets cold?

I had the Beef bowl, greasy and not very flavorful.
Husband had the Orange Chicken with sterile white rice. The chicken looked like beer battered chicken nuggets.
We did not get desserts, just entrees and drinks.
Cast members were polite and they managed rapid service, giving you the feeling this food sits.
For the money, not the best walk up meal in EPCOT.

We made advanced reservations months before our trip for a 1:30 lunch seating.
Haven't been to The Brown Derby in about 15 years. (Or at least when they had the piano in the middle of the room and did the Hollywood character skits).
We used the Tables in Wonderland discount program.
We were seated in the center section in a spacious booth.
Our Server was crisply dressed and knew the menu back and forth.
My husband had a Sam Addams Octoberfest and I had one of their signature Martinis. We felt miles away from the heat and sweating tank-top clad park patrons.
We enjoyed our respective meals for their taste and presentation (not so important what we ate, but that it was delivered timely and at the right temp.)
Their dessert choices involved picking 1 of 3 different desserts or 3 of 1. It comes plated on a rectangular chilled plate. The cost seems high versus the entree prices. That's a big down side as the 3 dessert servings are tiny.
The bill arrived accurately- deducting the TIW 20% discount which we returned to the server as his service deserved it.
It won't be an annual meal, but it was nice to go back this trip.
