Again, Narcoossees didn't disappoint.
For starters, I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail and my husband enjoyed the bbq shrimp and grits.
My husband and I both had the filet and lobster tail as our entrees.
For dessert, I had the apple tart and my husband had the candy bar.
Everything was excellent.

I've said it before and I will say it again, Olivia's is a hidden gem. I have dined here too many times to count and have never been disappointed.
My husband and I had breakfast here on March 11th. He had the pancakes and eggs and I had Olivia's breakfast. Everything was delicious.
The service was great as usual.

My husband and I had dinner here on March 10th. Everything was phenomenal, from the service to the food.
We were seated promptly at our 5:30 pm ADR.
For starters, I had the spring rolls and my husband had the lobster bisque. Both were very good.
For our entrees, I had the Cobb salad and my husband had the filet. I totally understand why the Cobb salad is their signature dish. It was excellent.
For dessert, I had the 3 minis: creme brulee, cobbler and cookie puff. My husband had the 3 mini desserts as well: grapefruit cake, the banana toffee cake and the chocolate sphere. Our waiter also brought him an extra chocolate sphere with a candle and sung happy Birthday to him.
We were also given our priority seating passes for Fantasmic (located in the dead center of the theater).

Be Our Guest was everything I had hoped it would be. It was truly a magical place to dine, with outstanding service and food.
My husband and I ate here for dinner on March 9th. I made reservations 180 days out at 6am central time. It was totally worth getting up early to do so.
We were seated promptly at our 6pm reserved time. Our table was in the Ballroom. It was beautiful. We were able to walk around and view the other rooms, while our meal was being prepared.
For starters, I had the French onion soup. It was AMAZING!!! My husband had the trio. He said it was all right.
For our entrees, I had the strip steak, and my husband had the lamb rack. Both were very tasty.
For dessert, I had the strawberry cupcake and my husband had the chocolate cupcake. Both desserts were delicious. Our waitress brought us out the gray stuff with a candle and birthday card signed by Beauty and the Beast to celebrate my husband's big day. Nice touch!!!
I highly recommend dining here. It was a GREAT choice.
Also, visiting with the Beast after dinner was a special treat!

My husband and I had lunch here on March 9th. We started with the soup kettle and fried cheese. For entrees, my husband had the pasta and I had the fish and chips. For dessert, we had the fruit crisp and toffee cake. Everything was really good. And, everything that's said about the ooey gooey toffee cake is dead on. It's AWESOME!!! It's one of the most delicious sweets I have ever had in my life.
I gave the rating of Liberty Tree an 8, just because the service felt a bit rushed.

My husband and I dined here for his birthday dinner on March 8th. We had reservations at 6:55pm and arrived at 6:45. We were seated right away.
Our table was just ok. We had to go outside to view "Wishes." But, that was fine, the view on the deck was amazing.
We were on deluxe dining, so for appetizers, we had the ravioli and California roll. For our entrees, we had the bison and dragon roll. Dessert consisted of the seasonal tasting and the creme brulee. Everything we ate was delicious and fresh.
The service was VERY slow and often lacked the kind of attention one would receive at a high end restaurant. The entire meal took over 3 hours. Our waitress was so loaded down with tables, that she couldn't provide adequate or reliable service. That's the best way to describe it.
I saw her leave our bread where the wine glasses are housed, and bring it to our table 20 minutes later. Needlesstosay, it was cold. She did comp us a glass of wine and a cup of coffee. We didn't even have to ask for it.
I would totally dine here again, just hope for better service.

My husband and I ate here on March 8th for his birthday lunch. We were on the deluxe dining plan, so I had the crab cake appetizer and he had the soup special. My entree was the lobster roll and it was overflowing with lobster meat. It was delicious. My husband had the fish and chips, which were equally yummy. For dessert, I had the Braeburn apple buckle, and my husband had the chocolate cake. We were also presented with a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the waitress brought him a balloon with Mickey weights. This place is a hidden gem, and I highly recommend it. I have now dined her for lunch and dinner.

This was our third time staying at POFQ, and again, it was an enjoyable stay. It was just me and my husband this time. We were given Building 4, room #4304. We stayed 6 nights, and had a parking lot view, however, it was obstructed by all the beautiful trees and landscape. The location was extremely quiet. All of our room requests were met as well (floor, king bed, and corner room).
We had the refillable mugs, and never had an issue with filling them up, which we did several times. We were on the deluxe dining plan, so we only picked up a few snacks at the resort, never actually ate there this time. The dining area was always clean.
Mousekeeping was awesome. Violet was the Cm taking care of our room, and we always came back after a long day to an extremely clean unit. She left towel animals on 2 occasions, and always restocked our toiletries and towels.
We enjoyed the pool and bar too. We never had a problem finding a place to sit, and the bartender never failed to deliver a good, strong cocktail.
Buses were good. We only had an issue waiting for a bus to Epcot, so we drove after waiting 15 minutes with 3 AK buses, 2 HS buses. a DTD bus, and MK bus passing us by. We only went to POR once to pick up guests. We spent 5 days in the parks.
I would not hesitate to stay here again. I have stayed at value, moderate and deluxe Disney resorts, and I rank POFQ as my favorite ( I have stayed at GF, Poly, CR, WL, AKL, FW, POR, ASMo, ASMu, Pop, and AoA).

I may have a favorite breakfast place now! Everyone raves about the Tonga Toast (which was good with the strawberry Compote) but the real suprise for me was the macadamian nut pineapple pancakes! AMAZING!!! I didn't think I would really like it, boy was I wrong! Everything was great! (service was a tad slow, but the food more than made up for it!)
