Review of Artist Point

Our family love Artist Point. But on June 30, we had the worst meal we have ever had a Walt Disney World signature restaurant. No doubt the extensive refurb has something to do with the obviously fewer Cms in the resort, the comparative lack of guests but does this also explains the narrowing of the menu and the appalling service provided by the lady CM who plainly new little about the menu.
Such a disappointing experience.

We were walking over to the Frozen ride just to see how crazy the line was (we were not planning on standing in it, we were just curious) I'm glad our curiosity brought us to the World Showcase around 9:30am because if we hadn't, we would have never found this gem of a breakfast place! Seriously, the best breakfast you can get in Epcot. I HIGHLY recommend the Chilaquiles con huevos. SO GOOD! We were the only people there for about an hour. We will definitely be back!
Pros:
Delicious! Affordable! Quiet!Cons:

My family of 6 stopped in for drinks and appetizers on July 1st. We sat outside, and shared Air Pirate's Pretzels, Fraulein's Flatbread, Sallah's Falafel, and Tanis Tuna Tacos. Everything was wonderful and the drinks were fantastic too. The Safari Sangria was very refreshing and I highly recommend it. We enjoyed Jock Lindsey's so much, that we stopped in again on the 2nd for drinks after dinner. We were just as pleased the second time. My husband had been here twice before, and I'm glad he suggested the rest of us try it.

My family of 6 dined here on July 1st. We had 4 pm reservations and were seated promptly. The restaurant is beautiful, very modern. Unfortunately, that's the most positive comment I can make.
The service was excruciatingly slow, and the waitress forgot to give my husband his dumplings. She seemed to be very distracted.
The food was just ok, nothing to write home about. We had chicken fried rice, California rolls, Lo Mein Noodles with Chicken and Pad Thai - Veggie.
This was the meal I was most looking forward to this trip, and the biggest disappointment.

My family of 6 had breakfast here on July 2nd. We had 830 am reservations and were seated right away.
To be honest, I was NOT looking forward to this meal. We have done this character meal a few times before, and I always walked away feeling unsatisfied. The food just seemed blah. The only reason I agreed to it, was because my ADULT children begged me to make reservations...Well, let me say...this meal was AWESOME!!! I am so happy we gave it another try.
We have always enjoyed the character part of the meal, but as I said earlier, the food just wasn't that great. The food this time was absolutely perfect. The bacon was crispy, the waffles were plentiful (both Mickey and Stitch), the juice was chilled nicely, the scrambled eggs were yummy, the bread was super sweet, and the sausage and potatoes were cooked just right. Oh, and the fresh fruit was great too.
Again, so glad we gave Ohana's another try. The service we received was very good. The food was the best we have ever had and the characters were a lot of fun!!!

My family of 6 stopped in on July 1st to pick up a few cupcakes for dessert. The cupcakes were amazing, but the ordering part seemed a bit off...We had to wait outside (in the rain), because the store only lets about 10 people in at a time. At least this is how it was when we visited. I thought this was very strange, as the store's capacity is much higher...

There were 8 of us for dinner on July 2nd. We were seated as soon as we arrived for our 530 reservation.
The service and food were top notch. There is absolutely NOTHING negative I can say about this restaurant. I only wish I remembered the name of our server, because she was honestly the best I have EVER had.
Among us, we ordered: Crab Cakes, Crispy Calamari, Tempura Shrimp Roll, Margherita Pizzas, the Barbecued Chicken Pizza, Spaghetti, and a Specialty Sushi Roll. For drinks, we had the Sunshine Sangria - Carafe for Two, and some of us ordered a few glasses of red wine (I can't remember which ones).
We will DEFINITELY be back, as this restaurant rated very highly!

My family of 6 popped in on July 1st to pick up dessert for a few of us. We ordered a sundae and shake. Service was fast and the ice cream was delicious! We always try to visit Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop when we are in town, and again, I'm glad we did...

My family of 6 had breakfast here on July 3rd at 10:10 am. We waited a half hour past our reservation time to be seated. I don't understand why this happened, as there were many empty tables for 6 or more available...This is why I am not giving 1900 Park Fare a higher rating.
The food was great, always replenished when something was running low. The strawberry soup was just as yummy as it was the last time we dined here in March of 2014.
The characters were great, the Mad Hatter especially. He made a HUGE fuss over my 8 month old niece and even fed her some of her baby food. It was really cute.
I'm sure we will be back again, as this is one of our favorite character meals...

Let me start by saying that this restaurant was not high on my list after our dining experience here on July 4th of 2013. In my post, I said I wouldn't be "rushing back." We made reservations here, specifically so we could view the fireworks from the MK after dinner...I didn't have high hopes. That being said, I will DEFINITELY be back again in the future.
My family of 6 dined here on July 3rd. We had 6:30 reservations and were seated right away at a corner table overlooking the beautiful gardens of the Grand Floridian. Our waitress was amazing and the food was delicious. We ordered: Caesar Salads, a Seasonal Strawberry Salad, Chilled Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Pan-roasted Chicken Breasts, Surf and Turf Burger, Shrimp and Grits, Artisan Made Spinach-Ricotta Ravioli and a New York Strip Steak. We had red wine, Fess Parker Riesling, Santa Barbara County, and a whiskey flight. For dessert, I pre ordered a white chocolate glass slipper for my sister to celebrate her birthday, which we all shared. Our waitress also brought out a cupcake and sang Happy Birthday.
This meal was beyond perfect from start to finish. As I said before, we will return...
