We had a brunch here at the beginning of August. One fruit nutella waffle sandwich (without the nutella), very impressive loaded with fresh strawberries, banana and blueberries and well worth the cost.
One strawberries and cream waffle (strange that this is without fresh strawberries and with strawberries in syrup and canned cream but still good)
One strawberries and cream funnel cake (again strawberry jam type topping) funnel cake was cooked freshly but not to my taste being very greasy.
Definitely worth a try.
Pros:
Delicious wafflesCons:

The chicken and steak platter makes an unusual choice in the Magic Kingdom for counter service and was fine. The chilli cheese fries also fine. The seating packed and not very clean. It is a definite ok.
Pros:
Unusual chicken and steak choice, great toppings barCons:

If you had never visited the old Main Street Bakery there would be no complaints. The frappucinos were lovely on a hot afternoon and the largest size is still available as a snack credit. This is why I give it a 10 but if you compare it to the old Main Street Bakery pastries then you will be greatly disappointed.
Pros:
amazing frappucinosCons:

Even though we all claim to have outgrown character meals we can't resist this one. Had our first meal of a two week trip here for breakfast. Lovely choice, kept very clean, early entry into the park can't be beat and a beautiful restaurant.
Can't wait to return.
Pros:
location, choice, charactersCons:

Nice platters of shrimp and a fish/chicken combo. We ordered broccoli as a side but unfortunately got the incorrect side of fries. After such a long wait we were unwilling to argue. That was our only negative. Seating upstairs always seems to be some of the most plentiful in the Magic Kingdom. Dessert of the cobbler was unusually good for the Magic Kingdom, apple and cinnamon cobbler.
Pros:
freshly cooked fried food and plentiful seatingCons:

We used a good percentage of our snack credits here on frapuccinos and found it to be a great use of a credit on a hot August day. Not being a starbucks customer here in the UK it was all new to me and you could order any size of the coffees or cold drinks as a snack credit. We enjoyed coffee, strawberries and crème, vanilla bean and choc chip at various points over our two week trip.
The value of a counter service credit wasn't so good with the option of a pastry, piece of fruit and drink as a counter service credit.
Great addition to Walt Disney World.
Pros:
frappucinos and pastriesCons:

we booked here kicking and screaming at our daughter's insistence as we have always refused to take a nine hour flight and then eat in the 'UK'. She felt that after ten days in Florida she would need a taste of home and as we all choose a percentage of our reservations we went along for the ride. Suffice it to say that we weren't looking forward to this in the least - big mistake.
The only negative as per the previous poster is that we were automatically sat outside in the sun on a very hot August day.
Typically British we sat there without even considering asking to be moved but in hindsight we ought to have done so.
The view from outside however is beautiful and if like me you enjoy the heat you will love it.
We had soft drinks to start with (all served in pint pots - my Dad would be horrified to see a woman drinking out of a pint glass but hey when in America...............)
I then succumbed to a nice glass of English Lager and it was certainly as delicious as it is at home.
My husband ate the fish and chips and said it was as good as at home.
The other three of us had the surf and turf. A bizarre concoction of half fried fish and the other half roast dinner with steak instead of a normal roast beef but all was cooked to perfection. This was accompanied by an English 'Aunt Bessies' type of Yorkshire pudding.
For dessert my son had the trifle which was actually more like an old fashioned jelly and custard dessert rather than a traditional English trifle. The rest of us had an amazing sticky toffee pudding.
Rose and Crown you did us Brits proud. Our only suggestion is that you offer the choice of indoors or outdoors at the podium.
As an additional mention our server took lots of time to explain to my very interested twelve year old daughter exactly the details of her time working at Epcot, the interview procedure and all about her time in the USA. Fantastic!!
Pros:
excellent food, drink and serviceCons:

Our first time eating at Palo as we have always cruised with children prior to this cruise. Mo is an absolute treasure! He had wonderful suggestions and I went with all of them! We dined three times in our five day cruise with him. This is a must on all of our next cruises, we cannot wait to return to the Magic!

We had a couple's massage on the last night of our cruise so that we would be relaxed for our flight home the next day. Wow, was that a mistake. My husband's was fine, I felt like I was being beaten up and I enjoy a deep tissue massage! The up selling at the end was another turn off. I won't bother with this ever again sadly.
Pros:
Husband's massage was goodCons:

During a day of browsing the counter service and stores of Epcot my daughter chose here to eat. She had a steak (declining the red wine sauce) with broccoli and potatoes. Nice to see a good choice of fresh veg at a counter service meals.
She went with a chocolate milk and her pudding was a rocky road brownie.
She enjoyed it all and it looked fantastic. Plenty of seating inside and out even on a busy August day.
