dh ate here 5/19 we were a party of 6 and everyone went their separate ways to find lunch we all met up at Norway to eat under shade. It was extremely hot and humid so it was nice to find this place. dh ate the salmon and poached egg sandwich. He loved it. Wasn't very large but enough for him. He was able to get the school bread as dessert. I really wanted to try this I heard so much about it and was going to use a snack credit for it, I'm glad I didn't. I just didn't like it.

Ate here 5/18 got ham & cheese sandwich on baquette. Really enjoyed it. ds17 and dd7 got the same and dd7 ate the whole thing. I loved you could get crème brulee for dessert LOVE IT!!!. dd7 got macaroons as she is a huge American Girl Grace fan so waited all year to get a macaroon. I bought her an assortment of macaroons which were pricey but got them anyway and dd7 decided that she didn't like any of them. I guess it is a matter of taste. Will eat here again if only they get more seating and better restrooms facilities. We ended up carrying our food to Norway to meet up with other family members and ate there.
Pros:

Ate here 5/21 asked for deck seating to watch Illuminations. Only had to wait 5 min. This is dh favorite restaurant and we eat here every time we visit. This is only the second time we were able to be seated water front and it was beautiful. We were on dp so we knew we could sub dessert for soup. All ordered the potato leek soup which was awesome. All ordered fish and chips. The food took longer than expected and came just as Illuminations started. (We had waited almost an hour for our food.) The restaurant was not busy at all which is unusual. My ds17 loves the unsweet tea which is Twinings Lady Grey. be aware it does have a different taste than normal black tea that is served elsewhere in the parks. I have to buy this at home and their is only 1 store that sells it. He says it reminds him of Disney. Illuminations didn't disappoint however, two little girls came running down right next to our table to watch the show which I didn't mind at first but then they would scream and was waiving this blinking light up wands in our faces almost hitting us. The couple next to us was getting irritated because they were trying to enjoy the show and couldn't because of these two kids. I looked around to see where the parents were and didn't see anyone around. The final straw was when one of the girls who had to be around 9yrs old told my dd7 to move that she was in their way. Excuse me. This was our table and I had to bite my tongue not to say something. But I noticed on this trip that also of children were left unattended more times that not and in todays society I don't think this is a good thing. The fish was greasy and there was more breading than fish. The only thing I enjoyed was the soup. I will try to talk my dh out of eating here again when we return in sept.
Pros:
viewing Illuminations, atmosphereCons:

First time eating her 5/26 our last day of trip and although on dp we were out of credits so wanted somewhere inexpensive. Party of 6 and was crammed into a small table that didn't fit us. The couple next to us wasn't able to get out of their seats because of us. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed and it took forever to get drinks and orders. She scanned our bands first which it seemed all restaurants did. We were on dp but was out of credits. Waitress said no that we did have 1 meal left and scanned our bands twice to make sure so we used them. I had reuban which was average but good. others had chicken sandwiches and hamburgers and again average. I probably will not eat here again just average. Just a note that I ended up getting billed for this meal and I didn't have any credits left. I didn't find this out until I checked my bank account several days later and seen it posted to my account even though I asked at checkout if I had anything pending.

Ate here 5/21 this is a must every trip and never disappoints. Love all the variety of foods and fresh fruits. The characters are wonderful and you get such nice pictures since this restaurant is so open and bright. Love that you get to be in the park without the crowd for pictures. The restrooms are also very clean.
Pros:
characters, early entry into parkCons:

I had booked this tour 180 days in advance along with carriage ride. I checked again at the 90 day mark no issues. I had coupon for discount which was noted. We arrived after eating at Garden Grill for breakfast as we wanted the first tour. My dh went to check us in and they couldn't find our ressies. I forgot to bring confirmation # with us so lesson learned. I do have to say the castmembers tried everything to locate this. My concern was that I had reserved it with a credit card so I didn't want it billed twice. I had to keep checking my bank account to make sure this didn't happen. Missed the first tour because of this which messed up our fast passes. We were able to get on the next tour and was very nice but since it was at noon it was very hot. You tour the greenhouses. I have read earlier posts where children are allowed to release butterflies. My dd7 was the only child so they didn't do this. She was able to feed the fish and taste cucumbers. Everyone enjoyed this tour and glad we did it.

It had been a long time since I stayed at PO Riverside as I try to get FQ or CB but I was pleasantly surprised during my Memorial Day trip to Riverside. Everything was great except the king mattress is about 10 years overdue to be replaced, nothing but squeaky bouncy springs in your back. It was awful. We wrote to Disney and they offered a free night which was more than we could ask for, we will definitely stay here again in a double queen room next time.

We usually go to Mama Melrose's on the first night of our visit. After checking in a bit early, and surviving the typical chaos of the waiting area, we were lead to our table about on time. Our waitress was a bit older and less peppy, but she did a great job attending to our needs--a real veteran. We had 3 different flatbreads and the lasagna and all were excellent. My carne d'italia was a real star; enormous hunks of pancetta with the crust crisped just right. The mixed green salad was also good and big enough to share. My DDs had tiramisu and enjoyed it. Meal with tip came to about $25/pp (no alcohol) which I thought was reasonable. We will continue our tradition in the future.
Pros:
Food; fair valueCons:

We tried Harambe Market a week ago. The windows for ordering are now clearly marked. Had the gyro sandwich. After ordering, you move to the next window. The food was ready within 30 seconds and was very hot. You can watch how they put the order together through the open window. The meat and sauce were very good (though not like a gyro where the meat is sliced from a rotating spit). The papaya salad was good but the bean salad was the star. I could have eaten a pint of it. The pita bread was the mass produced version available at any supermarket; thick, stiff, and barely grilled. Good value and good alternative to burger/fries/pizza.
