We've been to Disney four times in four years and never eaten here. We finally went for lunch on the last day of our vacation, 9/16. This restaurant really does itself a disservice with the lack of indoor seating. The theme is great and very Main Street USA. Its a shame customers only get to enjoy it while they order. We were lucky to find a seat in the shade as other families baked in the sun. A pesky duck bit a little girl next to us who was minding her own business. I'm sure she was more scared than hurt. The food was good, but didn't feel so great walking around with a heavy stomach full of chili dog, in Florida heat. This chocoholic enjoyed the brownie more than anything. Not so sure we will be back, but I wouldn't rule it out.
Pros:
Cute themeCons:

As a child, DD loved this restaurant. The whole rotating restaurant thing fascinated her. She enjoyed the characters and the changing scenery.
As an adult, I would categorize Garden Grill as just okay. The food was decent. The dessert was mediocre, as I've noticed most Disney restaurants have been on the dessert side recently.
Biggest complaint has got to be how terribly awkward it is when the seats rotate toward the front of the restaurant, where people are standing around watching you eat. One couple pulled out a camera and took pictures of Mickey in the seats above us. I've got to say, it's not very comfortable trying to eat while people are staring and snapping pictures That we will be in. That restaurant couldn't rotate us out of that section fast enough, lol.
If you have kids, I'd say try it once.
Pros:
Revolving restaurant with changing sceneryCons:

Dined here on 20th September, can't fault this place as it is our third visit, we both ordered the lamb shank , this was cooked to perfection then followed by the chocolate mousse and Banana Sundae. The waitress couldn't be more helpful. A big thumbs up in our opinion.

We had the dinner buffet at Boma on September 13th, 2013. We were staying at the AKL so it was convenient. We have eaten at Boma before; however, this time around we found it to be very noisy and unorganized. Although it was busy, we did get our table rather quickly. Our party consisted of 6 adults, 4 on the dining plan, two not. I tried to explain that to our waitress when we sat down but she seemed confused and said she would take care of the details later. We used the wrist bands all week, so we knew what to expect. To be truthful, she never did take care of the details, at the end, we got billed for the full amount as well as an 18% gratuity charge. Believe me; the service was not worth an 18% gratuity. We finally did get the bill straightened out. Overall, the food was just mediocre, not bad, but nothing to write home about. More than likely we will not go back. Maybe the breakfast buffet is better?
Pros:
Nice theme, convenient if staying at AKLCons:

Kidani is our DVC home resort and love the 2brm villa but when we arrived we were given room 7761 on third floor... walking 436 steps from elevator to room is no problem but when you get there you hope that the room is up to date and not rough. Room must have been sitting empty for a long while, the AC was not even on and temperature in the room must have been at least 85+ degrees and stuffy. The view was of part of the savanna even though we were supposed to be in a standard view. Always saw animals but the inside condition of the unit was a shame.

Stayed at the AKL the week of Sept 8, 2013. Overall a very nice experience, friendly staff. The resort is beautiful,clean and nicely themed. Somewhat disappointed with the room, small in comparison to Disney's other Deluxe resorts. Our room was showing signs of wear and tear, has a worn look not what you would expect from a deluxe resort and price. Lighting was a big issue, very poor in the bathroom sink area. Had an issue second day with house keeping. We returned back to our room at 3:30 p.m. from being gone all day and our room was still not cleaned. I complained and they said that they have until 4p.m. By 4p.m still no show. We had early dinner reservations and needed to shower. After making a fuss, they came back at some point after we left and cleaned the room. No other issues for the remaining days. Overall the resort is beautiful, well themed. The rooms are not great.
Pros:
Quite, Friendly check-in, Nice theme, Animals, PoolCons:

I had the sandwich with the chips, which was very good. There was plenty of seating and it was a nice and cool spot to sit and relax while we ate lunch. Lines were long but moved quickly.

There were many of us in our party. We ordered several cases of beer from Garden Grocer. They were about $25 for a case of 24 beers, about $7 to $10 more per case than we pay at home but much much cheaper than buying from Disney. The order was brought on time with no problems.
