One thing that we must have at the end of a long day of running around the parks, standing in lines, and darting through crowds is a nice sit down meal. It is a highlight of our day and it is always nice to know that we got a discount on our food by purchasing the plan and that all I have to do is hand them my room key to hand over my "entitlements". Beware, if you have not done this plan before or recently...you do still have to pay tip. And the table service meals are pretty expensive...therefore tip runs you about $20 for 3 people at best. That is for Liberty Tree type of meals. There are plenty that would cost you a lot more. So, do your homework on AllEars.net by looking at the menus and ratings. Then make reservations. You can find a lot of really good food for your table service meals. You have to work a little bit to find quality food for your table service...but it can be done. My only other complaint...the refillable mugs are ridiculously small in capacity. Not usually even worth the time to stand in a line to get the small amount. My favorite table service : Liberty Tree Tavern, Rainforest Cafe. Decent food on the counter service: The Cantina in Mexico and the cafeteria style place right outside of Soarin.

Food was reasonable but average. Servings were generous. The ordering and pick up process was quite disorganized - order and pick up at the same location but as it took quite some time to put each order together there were too many people stuck in a very limited amount of space. The staff seemed stressed out and overwhelmed. The garden seating is very attractive, but difficult to get a table. Off-hours would probably be best for this location.
Pros:
gardens seating is beautifulCons:

We dined at Mama Melrose's on Feb. 14th as part of the Fantasmic VIP Package. Our waiter was extremely attentive and very helpful answering all of our questions. We enjoyed all of our food with one exception. My mom order the meat & cheese appetizer for two and we did not enjoy it at all. Will definitely stay away from that in the future but other than that everything was wonderful. The calamari, salad, steak, pasta, chicken....all excellent! Only downfall was that it rained almost all day and that night our showing of Fantasmic was cancelled. But we will definitely be back again next time!

My mom, my brother and myself ate here on February 15th and it was wonderful! My mom order the pulled pork sandwich and my brother & I both ordered the combination chicken & ribs. We all enjoyed our food. The meat just feel right off the ribs. This was possibly our favorite meal of the trip! Will definitely make this a regular stop on future trips.
The only con I can possibly list is that finding a table was a little difficult. Yes there are several sitting areas but even with that it was very crowded and hard to find an empty table.

My family dined here on February 10th. First off, this restaurant is BEAUTIFUL! The ballroom is stunning, especially the ceiling & the chandeliers. My niece loved the snow falling that you could see. The food we ordered was very tasty. I ordered the steak and it was done to perfection....very juicy! The triple chocolate cupcake was heavenly! Will definitely go back on our next visit!
My only cons which I had prepared myself for were that it's kind of noisy and quite dark. It was hard to read the menu.

I ordered the seared tuna which comes atop noodles. The tuna was very good (sushi grade quality) nice sized pieces and the noodles were delicious too. I had a tiny bottled water too. Service was fast, you order and pay then take your food to a table and eat it. After tax, the overall bill was $12-$13 which is a bit pricey, but really not that bad, just a couple bucks more than eating out at a nicer fast food place like Panera or Chipotle. I would definitely go there again and recommend for families too as there are different stations with different food options. The food is higher quality and much better than fast food and you get your food very fast so can get in and out quick so kids can get back to rides and attractions unlike a sit down place in Epcot which is much more expensive and will take considerably more time.

Ate here end of Feb. Has been many years since last time, but decided to go again. Still the same fun as I remembered. DH had the sampler plate (he said my meatloaf is better, but the fried chicken was the best he's ever had). I had the meatloaf and agree with DH. Although it was good. Kids meals were good. Desserts good as well. We are a family that the servers could really play around with, although our waitress, while good, didn't go too overboard with the gags. Very good and will return again.
Pros:

Ate dinner here the end of Feb. First off, the place is beautiful. For that reason alone, it is worth eating at. That being said, I'm glad we ate here once, but would probably skip for next few trips. We were seated promptly at our reservation time in the west wing. We walked through the grand ballroom, which was amazing, to a smaller, dark room. The room was perfectly decorated for beast's castle, right down to the rose. However, keeping with the theme, meant it was very dark. Nothing that I struggled with, however, my parents (60's), had to put a little more effort into reading the menu. 🙂 The french onion soup was amazing. I got the salmon on leek fondue. It was very very good. My DH got the shrimp and scallops. He said it was good, but not the best thing he's ever had. Desserts were good, but again, not the best we've ever had. DD6 ate all her steak and DD4's mac and cheese was swimming in butter so much that even she, would not eat it.
Would go back, but not for a while.

Ate here end of Feb. Excellent time. Eating while being surrounded by the fish is wonderful. DH said that his meal was one of the best fish meals he has ever had. DD6 ate all her salmon and some of mine. DD4 enjoyed her meal as well. Will come back here in a second. Glad we tried it.
