Great restaurant with good food. We ate hear twice during our 5 nights in Disneyland resort. The Salmon and the chicken parmigiana we our favourites. Both really moist and succulent. We also had a lasagne ( a touch dry) and seafood pasta ( a touch salty).
Great draft beer and food portion sizes were spot on for our smaller English appetites.
Pros:
Good food, quick service.Cons:

We are DVC members and have stayed at nearly all of the WDW resorts. This was our first stay at the Villas, and we loved it. The rooms are beautiful, and our studio had the same layout as most of the WDW properties. The only annoyance is why do you you only get 1 bedside table and light for double beds?
Our room had a view of California Adventure, which was a nice bonus, and despite the noise from the park as soon as you close the sliding door you can hardly here it.
One of the best perks in California is that you can walk to everything (both parks and downtown Disney). You can also get early magic hotel admission which is brilliant for Cars Land and a must use if you want to avoid the queues.
Overall a great resort and a great vacation.
Pros:
Great location, beautiful rooms.Cons:

Hotel was over booked with tour groups it clearly cannot handle. Apparently individual families don't matter, only the money they get from these groups. Food court is overrun, yelling screaming, stomping, it's a nightmare.

We ate here on 18 January. My son and I had the steak and thought it was excellent. My wife had the Scottish salmon and also thought it was great. Our server was attentive and checked on us in a timely fashion. For dessert we had the chocolate wave and the Champagne Sabayon Tart and were very happy with both. The only negatives were that we had to wait about 25 minutes past our reservation time and a "tour" was in the aquarium for the last half of our dinner - they came over to waive to the restaurant guests but that kept the fish and other inhabitants out of our view.
Pros:
Food, Aquarium View, ServiceCons:

We had a wonderful dinner with excellent service. My son and I had the steak and both thought it was great. My wife had the shrimp and scallops and said it was "very good". The atmosphere in the ballroom was wonderful and we enjoyed meeting The Beast.

We stayed here in January and had a great experience. We stayed in the Alligator Bayou section and loved the theming in our room. We had a long walk to the food court but were happy with the quality and selections offered, as well as the cashiers' knowledge regarding how to best use the dining plan. The bus transportation was the best we have experienced in our stays at WDW (this was our second stay at Riverside and 7th on property). We do enjoy YeeHaw Bob.
Pros:
Loved the theming, value, transportationCons:

We dined here 2 times this trip. The first time we considered the experience was a 2. A week later we dined there again giving a 2nd chance. Still a 2. Service was poor and food quality was only acceptable. Not to our expectations of a Signature restaurant. Our party of 4 is dry. It seemed to us that after ordering water (both times) it was the kiss of death. Our waiter came to the table and asked if we were ready to order yet. No suggestions or recommendations. The table next to us all ordered alcohol and his helpfulness to them appeared exceptional. The tuna was brought out cold. Fish quality was good, but seared tuna should be served at the right time.

Our family stayed here 1/26-2/1 Great time, quick check in. We made a room request and it was honored. Stayed in Royal Room in Oak Manor. It was really pretty and I'm sure those with little princesses would appreciate it more. Don't know if I'd pay extra for the Royal Room again but the building was centrally located. We often walked across the parking lot behind our building to the East Depot. I agree with others that this resort is very large and I can imagine staying in other buildings would require quite a walk to food etc. Our stay was wonderful. Mousekeeping was just that, no frills or extras. Would definitely stay there again and next time I'd like to enjoy the resort more. Thanks.
Pros:
Beautiful grounds, good foodCons:

Hamburgers were great. Wonderful self service area for adding extras to your burger. Quick, great options for seating. My son and I shared a burger and it was more than enough for the two of us.
