I had the Grilled Tenderloin meal and it was awesome. The service was great and the staff is knowledgeable about the food and the resort. I always ask what they recommend and it has been the better choice. great food, great service ! I feel it is a great hidden Gem!

My biggest dislike was that we had to wait 30 minutes just to get in the castle, and then another 15 to order once we got inside. Ordering is done on computer screens, which was a little confusing. One thing I did like about the computer screens was that you could enter in your allergies and it would automatically filter out dishes that weren't safe. It was so much more convenient than having to wait for a manager like at other quick service restaurants.
That being said, the wait was completely worth it. The castle is beautiful, and the food was amazing. I had the tuna nicoise salad, french onion soup and a lemon-raspberry cream puff for dessert. My DH had the braised pork, french onion soup and a cupcake. He said it was the best meal he had all week.
So bottom line, yes you will wait, but it will be worth it!

Stayed here from May 3rd thru the 11th. This is the second time that I stayed here. Last time we stayed in a studio but this time we stayed in a two bedroom.
The only reason I did not give this review a 10 was because of the negative customer service that I received checking in. First, she was extremely slow checking us in. Second, when asking her to add the park passes on my room key, she said that she could not do that and I needed to go to concierge later. When I questioned this because I have always been able to do this at check in, she almost made me feel like she was accusing me of lying. She said that this was never done. Third, we checked in at 3:00 and when I asked her if our room was ready she was very snippy with me and said that check in was at 4:00 and I would receive a text even though the woman next to me received her room at the time. After this bad experience, we left and got something to eat.
We later walked over to Bay Lake where we spoke to a very helpful person who, surprise surprise, was able to add my park passes to my key even though she wasn't concierge. The last thing that upset me was that this was around 4:00 and our room was still not ready and according to this woman, our room still has not even been touched yet. I have never waited this long to check in to a room. Thankfully she was able to switch us into a room that was just finished.
Other than that, we had a wonderful 2 bedroom villa. It was clean and spacious and the third bathroom came in very handy. The view was a lake view where you could see Epcot and Hollywood studios in the distance. The pool was great and the slide was a lot of fun. I would definitely stay here again!
Pros:
Great location, great view, lots of room, cleanCons:

My dad and I decided to eat here for our first night and we weren't disappointed. For an appetizer, we had crawfish bites topped with Remoulade sauce. This appetizer was much, much better than expected. We couldn't get enough of it!
For the main course, I had the slow roasted prime rib while my dad had the grilled pork chop. The prime rib was superb, much better than I expected. I ate everything, which is very unusual for me since I chew slowly, allowing me to get full faster. The asparagus spears were delicious, along with the Yukon potatoes. I'm literally drooling as I write this, that's how good the meal was.
The only bad thing was the lack of waitresses/waiters. While our waitress was very nice, I felt she was over-burdened and could have used some help.
For the price, you can't beat it. It's a great meal in a great atmosphere with friendly people. Boatwright's definitely keeps it's place as one of my favourite restaurants.

Love the theme of the restaurant. It was lovely. We actually got the table right in front of the rose. the kids loved that room.
The food was very good for a quick service meal. It was nice to have your food find you. The cupcakes were very good.
The line was long but it moved pretty fast. I would eat here again.

We love this resort. Just stayed here 5/9 to 5/13. The pool is great. Our room was roomy with plenty of space for a family of 5. My 13 year old son who is a big bot slept on the murphy bed and loved it. It had plenty of room for him.
I requested building #14 and got that building, which was great it was close to everything.
The only complaint I found with this resort is I found the staff in the quick service food court rather rude. I have never come across this before at Disney. Not everyone was rude but the majority of the staff was.
I love this resort and will stay here again.

We ate here 5/09/13 as a last min. sit down meal. I would have to say the service was terrible. They were not very busy and the waitress took forever to take our drink order as well as bring us our drinks. My 7 year old daughter spilled her Ice tea and no one came over to the table to help clean up. I told the waitress and all she did was bring her a new drink. The floor was soaking wet to the point where we had to put our feet up off the floor.
Our food also took a very long time to come out. I actually ordered dessert to go because everything was taking so long.
That being said me and my son had the strip steak and it was very good. the corn bread was tasty as well.

We waited almost a half hour on the bridge after checking in and before being seated. Then we waited for our server to stop by our table, because we didn't get a kids' menu and needed one. Then we waited for her to come back. And waited. And waited. I had the shrimp and scallops (minus the shrimp) in the puff pastry, it was very very good. Daughter had the kids grilled steak. It was also very good, but it took FOREVER for the server to check on us in order for us to ask for steak sauce. We were done with dinner for over ten minutes before she asked if we wanted dessert, and then we ended up getting the check without even having dessert because she never came back. The place is HUGE but I think she only had three or four tables, so it wasn't like she was completely swamped, she just seemed to be on her own timeframe. There was a single diner sitting behind us who had a completely different experience--but then again, she also had a completely different server. It was nice being able to see the Beast afterwards. I would recommend this restaurant for the experience, but I don't know that we would ever return--yes, the waiting was that bad!!

My family has eaten at this restaurant during every trip we've taken to Disney (this past trip makes 9), and we've never had a bad experience here. Our most recent visit was no exception. We arrived slightly early and were seated very quickly (we did have an ADR), our waitress was very nice (as one would expect at Disney), and the food was delicious. It's a must do for us, and I highly recommend it!

This restaurant has so much potential, but it missed the mark for my family and me. When we dined here on May 13, the cast members seemed like they were just going through the motions and the service lacked that "Disney" touch. It also took quite a while for our server to come to our table and take our order. The food was nothing special; we all agreed that the ABC Commissary next door was just as good (if not better) and far cheaper. This was our first time to dine here, and unless something changes, it will be also be our last.
