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.

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.

This was by far the best meal our family had. While I can't remember the name of the dish I ate it was steak and shrimp and was absolutely delicious. Everyone agreed that this was a really good meal.

We love Mexican food and stop here when we're not looking for a full blown meal. The amount of food this location provides is more than enough for me anyway and most of the time, my husband helps me finish the meal. The last time we were here was during the week of 1/20/13 and we both ordered the shredded beef tacos (don't recall the actual name) and it came with chips and salsa. We've never had a bad meal here and the week of 1/20/13 was no exception. The food is wonderful.
I like being able to sit outside when possible and this is the perfect place. The only time we have not been able to find a seat was during the Food & Wine Festival. As you can imagine, it's very busy during that time.
Highly recommended. Love the food, seating, location, and sites.

We had dinner here on 17 January. This was our first time here and I followed the consistent recommendation on this site to try the Charred Strip Steak and 5-cheese macaroni - it was one of the best meals I have had at WDW. My son had the spaghetti and meatballs and thought it was pretty good, my wife had the Penne alla Vodka with shrimp and thought it was excellent. We enjoyed the Chocolate Cannoli Cake and Gelato for dessert. Our server was very friendly and attentive, it was a very nice evening.

Good food and atmosphere. Waited a little past our ADR time but it was worth the wait. Shrimp scampi was delicious as well as the steak. My son had the steak skewer on the kids meal. The waiting area is crowded and it can be difficult to hear your name called.

Large portions, large seating areas. The best quick service of our trip. I had the fish and fries. Great deal for $9.99 but we were on the dining plan so it didn't matter. Chicken nuggets on kids meal are different than other restaurants, in a good way. Desserts were delicious as well. Healthy options also available.

This place is always busy. There are a few seats indoors but for the most part you have to hover outside in the hopes someone gets up from the tables. Food is good with large portions. There isn't a kids menu here so it's a good choice for older kids that are still on the kids meal plan. Great spot in front of the castle. We timed our visit right to enjoy the piano player as well.

This was the best "experience" we had while at Disney. The food was delicious. French onion soup and the appetizer of cured meats etc. was fabulous. Four of us had steak, including my son. The will substitute fries for the sweet potatoes on the kids meal. The Beast's walk through was a little lack luster but the pictures taken in the study were nice. We had a 7:20 reservation and had to hurry to catch the Beast for pictures before he left at 9. The wait staff gave us plenty of time to go back and explore the West Wing. We were seated in the ballroom and it is very beautiful.
