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!)

So glad we were able to have dinner here on our latest trip. I had a steak and it was great! The waitress (who was amazing and very helpful) reccomended I try the baked mac and cheese with it and I'm so glad I took her advice...Outstanding! I had a chocolate cupcake for dessert and it was everything you hoped a chocolate cupcake would be. Moist, great frosting and beautifully decorated. The whole dinner met all my expectations! And we got a picture with the Beast afterwards!

I'm glad I tried this because the food was great! We had meat skewers and Harissa Chicken Roll
with Harissa Ketchup. It's small plates so we stopped to just try a couple things, not to fill up. Our waiter and the staff was nice, but it took forever for our waiter to get us our bill and to even follow up with us after we received our food. That was frustrating.

I do not like having to plan so far in advance. If you wait times can be filled.. Way too many rides have fast passes even the ones that are usually not crowded....the old way seemed like it helped the standby lines , but all it's done this way is made the standby line longer and the fast pass line is even a long wait. I feel like the way the fast passes are now is just a way to track where people are...plus the more people stand in line the less time they are buying things...the purpose was to get people in and out quicker and in my opinion that is not what is happening.
