Ok, that's fine if the food is exceptional which it is not. The pizza was very good, other appetizers and dinners were just okay.
Service was very slow and we had to ask more than once for certain things.
Skip this one and go elsewhere.

The food was not good. The restaurant is noisy. The service was okay. They do not take Tables in Wonderland but give DVC 20% but only on two dinners.
Overall I would skip this restaurant since there are many other choices that are far better.

The absolute best dinner we had. The service was wonderful. The atmosphere perfect.
The filet mignon was wonderful, the desserts delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and stop by the lounge prior to dinner. I will definitely put this on my next visit list.

Dinner at this restaurant is one of the best on property. It has a casual feel, beautiful water and Magic Kingdom views. The menu has wonderful selections. Service is attentive. It is, however, rather expensive and I would assume not for everyone.

Unfortunately, as I have experienced with other DVC locations it is showing wear and tear.
The carpet was stained and when we pulled out the sleeper sofa there was garbage behind the headboard area.
There were leftover items in the drawers in the kitchen.
They missed towel replenishment on day 4 and when we contacted them they said we would need to pay.
DVC is a wonderful idea but for the annual dues we pay we expect a fully cleaned room upon check in and top rate service, not second class. I wonder if anyone else in DVC feels that way about the upkeep.

This was by far the best meal we've had at Disney World EVER (and I've been going for over 20 years). Two things that really stood out in my opinion: 1. Service -- Excellent! Monica (waitress) was beyond fabulous with helpful recommendations of the Alaskan King Crab and Steak. My 5 yo son asked for Spaghetti and Meatballs (they do not have meatballs). However, a few minutes later she came to the table and said the chef was going to send someone next door to Portobello's and get him a meatball. (It was a meatball the size of a baseball and was fabulous - he ate his entire bowl of spaghetti! Definitely going above and beyond!) 2. The food was beyond fabulous - we were stuffed until lunch the following day! Absolutely worth the 2 dining credits - I will NEVER skip Fulton's on my future DW trips!

Today my family ate at Coral Reef (DH, DS (5) and myself) - it was AWFUL!!!!! The aquarium is really the only positive. The service was mediocre -- the lady who seated us told us to order immediately otherwise it would take 30 minutes to get our food - then our waitress said she knew we were in a hurry (we NEVER said anything about being in a hurry - were actually NOT in a hurry AT ALL). But we ordered immediately (like she suggested) and we did get our food quickly. I ordered the lobster/shrimp pasta -- OMG it was terrible -- there was ONE bite of lobster (and it was not a big bite) and then about 6 shrimp and lots of soupy sauce with shell macaroni. I had to put lots of salt and pepper on it to even make it edible. My DH ordered the steak - not a good idea! It was obviously cooked at least a couple of hours ahead of time and reheated (probably in a microwave) -- he ordered it medium -- he added lots of salt and pepper as well. My DS's choice of mac and cheese was somewhat of ok - he ate most of it - but he'll eat anything if he's hungry (he is not your typical 5 yo). The bread that was brought to the table was TERRIBLE - it was the driest plainest no taste bread I've EVER had - and I'm a bread nut! Lastly - the dessert - we got the signature wave (lava) cake - simply put DO NOT make this mistake. And it was the best part of the meal. Do not waste a table service credit on this meal like we did and absolutely DO NOT pay cash to eat here. Go to House of Blues or Fulton's Crab House -- those two meals were beyond FABULOUS. Halfway through our meal - my DH and I both looked at each other and asked "are we sure this is run by Disney?" - it was most certainly NOT up to Disney standards.

We stayed at the POFQ from 1/26-2/1. We had 2 adjoining rooms. Our party consisted of myself, husband, 4 kids and my parents. My room requests were all met. We had a major flight delay and the hotel kindly held our rooms until we got there the next morning. Our rooms were updated and clean. I researched a long time before deciding on which resort would be best. We had last been at Disney nearly 5 years ago and stayed in the All Star Family Suites and wanted to try a Moderate this time around. My dad has bad knees so what appealed to me about this resort was the small size, very easy to get around. We were about a 5 minute walk to the main lobby and bus stop. My kids were able to find the room by themselves when they ran ahead of us from getting off the bus. The boat ride to Downtown Disney was also great. We never really knew about the busses though. Sometimes we'd go straight from the resort to the park or sometimes we stop at the POR. Even when we did, it wasn't a problem, it didn't take too long. This resort was exactly what I thought it would be from reading all of the reviews, no disappointments at all. I knew that it didn't have an over the top Disney theming but that was alright with me, knowing that beforehand. It was cold and rainy practically the whole week we were there so some disappointments in the weather department. That being said, no disappointments at all at the resort. Trying to decide now about the next trip, definitely would stay here again but also thinking about trying a deluxe.

We had never eaten here on our past trips and did so when we were recently there during April break. I was leary because some of the reviews were not good but we loved it and would go back. My favorite was the pork tenderloin. It had the best flavor. I like to eat vegetables on vacation and this offered just that. It is served family style and you can ask for as many refills as you want. I did read one review before we went that said to ask for the Cranberry sauce so we did and my husband loved it. I don't do cranberries but he was pleased. Don't rule this option out if you read a bad review. I never base my decisions on reviews just get a taste for how it may be. I wish the beef was cooked a little longer because we don't like real red beef. I guess that would be my only dislike but it still tasted good.

We love Tusker House! We have gone in 2009, 2011 and recently in April of this year. We always make lunch reservations and this time they made the lunch a Character lunch. In the past it was only a Character Breakfast. It was great!! You don't always get a chance to see Daisy and Mickey, Minnie, Goofie, Donald and Daisey were there.
