Review of Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast

One of my favorite breakfast spots. We didn't have an ADR, but we were seated right away, at a lovely table towards the back of the restaurant, which was thankfully very quiet.
We started off with Mimosas for the table, wonderful as always.
I'm a bit of an eggs benedict snob, and this place is the reason why. You couldn't ask for more perfectly cooked benedict. I substituted the asparagus for their breakfast potatoes. A new addition to the meal, at least since December, in an Au Gratin Tomato, which was, of course, perfectly done. Also at our table was the classic eggs and bacon, the vanilla laced french toast (which i tried - wow!) and the pancackes. No one was disappointed - but how could they be?

We just returned from a great stay at Riverside. The upgraded/renovated Alligator Bayou rooms were great especially the fold down bed. We were able to be part of the wrist band beta test and loved it. Not loving the new 'auto-fill' cups because of the size (I drink a LOT of tea) but will say it cut down on the kids playing with the soda machines. Food court offerings are still okay but getting better (loved the MYO pasta and salad options but the pesto sauce could use some work.) I do wish they had Riverside and French Quarter designated boats especially late at night.

Without fail, my favorite restaurant in the world.
The food is amazing, the atmosphere can't be beaten, and the service is always wonderful.
My friend and I sat and had a few drinks in the lounge before dinner. We checked in, and within 10 minutes, we were seated. Our 'cousin', Sam, was really wonderful. Very attentive and quick to help us. The food, as always, was excellent.
Cousin Sam, at the end of the meal, took our jibes to our friend about how much he eats seriously, and brought him his own dessert. Awesome. Can't wait to get back there!

I love this restaurant. It's my 4th time since 2010 eating here. It's always been exceptional. This time, not quite as wonderful. Our waiter played a big disappearing act through the entire dinner. He'd come, act as if we were imposing on him, then disappear for 25 minutes. It really put a damper on this meal.
The food, as always was great. My friend and I started with the Avgolemono soup. One of those dishes that your mouth waters when you think of it. The same friend and I both had the sampler platter. The Greek lasagna was good, as was the chicken and orzo. The lamb burger, not so much. To me, it reminded me of bad breath. This third of the sampler was actually what I was most looking forward to, and I was so disappointed that I didn't like it. I really wanted to. Another friend at the table really loved them, and finished both of ours, however. The dessert selections were outstanding as usual.
I'm eating there again next trip, so a little bad service won't keep me away!

The atmosphere was really cool and fun for my family, but there were many kids who cried every time the "show"/animatronics started and it got darker. Food was lacking and overpriced. I'm not sure why it's one of the harder Disney restaurants to get into, because there's better food to be had. Paying for dinosaurs- there are plenty of rides throughout DW where you can see dinosaurs.

Clean rooms, fun things around the resort, hotel is convenient to the parks we went to. Kids loved the pool and poolside activities. The only drawback was the overpriced food at the restaurant, but that's part of any amusement park.
Pros:
Good value, fun for kids, cleanCons:

Enjoyed sitting in a car at the drive in, but the food was not good at all. Cheap, bland burgers, one of my kids got like 5 fries, and my salmon burger was terrible (very fishy). The service was good, though. Would not go back. For the same price we'd rather eat at the 50s Prime Time.

I've found the food here to be far better than other restaurants in HS, especially for the price. If you have kids it is a must do- the servers treat you like family, including putting you in a corner for bad manners. It's a hoot!! And they have a fantastic lounge with "day's liquor cabinet" to get into while you wait and while you dine. Fun experience, yummy food!

Best food in HS, super fun atmosphere, good valueCons:

We return to Chefs de France on every trip, and we do so for good reason. The food is absolutely wonderful, and the staff equally so. My table split a bottle of Charles de Fere Champagne, which was easily one of the best Champagnes I've ever had.
We split the Assiette Campagnarde, the assortment of meats and pate selection. Wonderful as always, especially with the ridiculously good bread service this place routinely turns out.
I typically get the Prix Fixe dinner. The onion soup is just out of this world. You will NEVER eat it at your local diner again after you eat it here. For my entree I tried something new for me, the Short ribs with pasta. Yet another spectacular dish. For dessert, always the Profiteroles. If you like dark chocolate, this is the dish for you. It's hard not to lick the plate.
The service is always spectacular here. Our waiter, Florian, most definitely went over and above for us, recording a string of French words for us, as my group is all in a show right now with a good bit of French.
I can't recommend this place enough!
