1 adult no DDP. Ate here Sat 2-8 at 12:45 for the 1st time and it didn't disappoint. Place was pretty quiet but so was most of the WS. Quickly ordered and had a very enjoyable lunch. Chicken platter was warm and tasty. Large enough portion you could share. I want to try the wrap next.

One of most of the enchanting experiences I have ever had. As a child who grew up watching Beauty and the Beast over and over again on VHS, it was a truly magical experience to eat in the castle. I'm sure my husband got extremely tired of hearing me say "look at that!!". The food was the best counter service of our week. Both my husband and I had the croque monsieur, which was fantastic. The fries were also good. The star of our meal was the gray stuff cupcake, it truly was delicious!! We loved our entire experience here and will make dinner reservations here for our next trip!
Pros:
Enchanting atmosphere, the gray stuff cupcakeCons:

We ate here immediately after arriving, my husband had the chicken tacos, which he loved despite the enormous portion size. I ordered the nachos, which were covered in a generous layer of cheese, they were decadently delicious. The chips and guacamole were delightfully and surprisingly fresh!! We ordered the popsicles thinking they would be a healthier and fresher item (after indulging in copious amounts of greasy cheese) however, they were sickeningly sweet (not an easy thing for a dessert lover like myself to say). My parents had an order of the churros, which were significantly better.
Pros:
Nachos, guacamole, chipsCons:

While the ambiance of this restaurant was spectacular, the meal was nothing memorable. My husband ordered the chicken alfredo dish, which he described as bland. I had the lasagna, which also could have used more flavor. Dessert was the star of the show, and everyone enjoyed the offerings, the tiramisu was creamy and not overwhelmingly sweet. We probably won't go back on our next trip, unless its for dessert!
Pros:
Atmosphere, AMAZING desserts!!Cons:

In planning our trip, this was the ADR we were the most concerned about. However, it ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip!! We checked in early, and were seated early. The meal started with bread and salad, its hard to choose what was better! The rolls were buttery and warm, and the salad was fresh and delightfully crisp! The main dishes were all good, however, at our table the fish and beef were the favorite and we asked for extras of all. The dessert cobbler was cakey and delicious. As an all adult group, the characters were unobtrusive, and even conned my father into taking a picture with them! We loved our meal here, and will definitely go back the next time we're in Disney!!
Pros:
The food, character interaction, seeing inside "Living with the Land"Cons:

We ate here on our final night in Disney World. My parents had eaten here 2 years ago and raved about the food, however, none of us had that experience this time. We were seated about 30 minutes after we checked in for our ADR. Menu choices are very limited, I settled on the steak and it was average. My husband and mother ordered the fish and chips, both felt they were very salty. Dessert was a tasty surprise, as when we were presented the menu no one was sure what to order. The highlight of the meal was the alcoholic beverages with the glow cubes… Our server was very kind and helpful, however, the food definitely marred the experience.
Pros:

We ate at Les Chefs de France 1/28. My husband, parents and I all order off the Prix Fixe menu. The meal started off well with soups and salads. The salad was fresh and dressing was tangy. The main courses were tasty but not memorable. Next time, we all said we would order from the regular menu next time. Dessert was the star of the meal, the creme brûlée was stellar!
Pros:
Friendly service, ambiance and dessertCons:

We dinned here with my parents on 1/29. We were seated a few minutes after our ADR time, however, it was no longer than a 5 minute wait. The restaurant was busy, as a conference was being held at the Yacht and Beach Club. The restaurant managed to keep up well considering the number of patrons inside. We started with a caesar salad, which was incredible, and one I wish I could replicate at home. A nearby table was offered a charcuterie board from management, however, they declined. Our waiter immediately brought it to our table, explaining that it was complementary, and we accepted. My parents had never experienced a charcuterie and enjoyed nibbling on the various items! The steaks and potatoes were all delicious and cooked perfectly. Dessert was outstanding, I am not a peanut butter fan, but our waiter and the manager (who was making rounds around the restaurant chatting with guests) recommended it so highly, I had to try it. It was top notch, layers of peanut butter and chocolate deliciousness, I left nothing on my plate! Our service at this restaurant was incredible, the waiter and the manager were delightful to talk to and helpful in selecting what we wanted to eat. It was definitely one of our favorite meals of our trip!

Friendly and accommodating waitstaff, a great meal for meat loversCons:

My husband and I went to the California Grill on 1/27 to celebrate his birthday. We had ADR's for 7:45, and despite a crowd at the check-in desk upon arriving to the Contemporary, we were seated promptly at 7:45. The table was covered in Mickey Confetti, acknowledging the celebration. Our waitress explained how the firework viewing worked, we ordered drinks and sushi, both were delivered to our table in time for the fireworks. Our table was in a prime spot to watch the fireworks, and we never had to get out of our chairs! We were able to eat and watch the fireworks at the same time, from the comfort of the restaurant. Everything that we ate was fresh and delicious. We ordered the tomato flatbread (which is one of the best items I've ever eaten), garden salad and the scallops. By the time dinner was over and the dessert menu arrived, we were stuffed. The waitress did bring a complementary order of the creme brûlée. It was phenomenal, definitely on par with the rest of the meal. The California Grill was by far our favorite meal of the trip.
Pros:
The view, ability to watch the fireworks while dining...Cons:

We stayed at the Yacht Club from 1/26 - 2/1. We had a standard room room. Due to noisy neighbors (think crying children middle of the night, early morning and during the day) the extremely helpful staff found us a new and quiet room, so that my husband and I could sleep. Food choices in the lounge were fantastic, my husband had the ranch dressing and chips each day and missed them greatly when we returned home! We ate breakfast in the lounge each morning, pastries and baked goods were always fresh! The convenience of being located between Hollywood Studio's and Epcot was wonderful! We really enjoyed our stay at the Yacht Club!
