In our 10 days of dining, this was our favorite meal. Everything was done to perfection. The waiter was excellent from explaining all aspects of the menu, specials, dining plan questions, etc...The food was delightful and flavorful. Everything was cooked perfectly. This is one hidden gem that will be on our must do list for next trip.

The food here (if you like seafood) is always delicious and the selection is wonderful. We really enjoyed everything we ate. Our experience was not as good this time because of our waitress. At one point she disappeared for 25 minutes. I had to leave early with my daughter who did not feel well and had to go find a manager to let them know my husband would be handling the bill once the server was found.

Made reservations: arrived early and was admitted right away. Vinny was our server and quite helpful. The entrees were very good, but the salads were a bit ordinary. The desserts were a bit disappointing: the self-serve ice cream was just plain. The Chipotle pasta and green beans were our favorites.

I made advanced reservations thru Disney for 8:55 for breakfast. We changed plans and were wanting earlier dining, so we were there at opening. They were very willing to accommodate us. (Generally, we found all the restaurants for which we had reservations willing (eager) to let us eat early, as much as 30 mins.) Wife had scrambled eggs and i had frittata. Hers was very good, mine was good, but I'm just not that fond of mozzarella. Server was good and friendly. Very filling.

The CM that checked my wife and I in was GREAT. She led us to a shorter line to order and pay (the CM there was also jolly). The food was OK, but the drink service was slow; we were in the large dining room. Had another great experience with same CM upon leaving: We asked her to take our picture and she said laughingly, "No, that's asking too much." She took our picture and the second CM joined in the picture (lots of laughs and kidding about ice cream!)

The order was delivered as promised. Everything was top notch except green apples (brown inside), but could not have known until eaten. Would use again.

Stayed through 9/16 for 6 nts. Greg was especially helpful at check-in due to magic band not working at door at first. Afterwards, the magic bands worked great. The hotel was full, but seemed to run smoothly. The hotel is wonderful because of proximity to Epcot and Studios. Staff was friendly and the Concierge helped with tickets. We would definitely stay again.

It certainly has an air of festivity, but the crowds were suffocating. This was my first time visiting during September. I know some people love the F & W festival, but not me! It was as hot as the surface of the sun, and most of the kiosk queues and tables were smack in full sun. It's enough to give you heatstroke just looking at people waiting. Even if you are visiting Epcot solely for the rides, it was difficult to navigate with the crowds. I will definitely avoid Epcot during the F & W festival in the future. This is my first visit that I have not stayed for Illuminations!
Pros:
Interesting choices and lovely smells of food cookingCons:

I attended the party on 9/16/16, a Friday night. It certainly was festive, and many costumes were almost professional looking. I had no idea people went all out on their costumes. There was a lengthy torrential downpour just as the party began, which lead to standing room only in the Emporium. I thought it was quite crowded (more crowded than 2 of the Christmas parties I attended last year). There were lines for candy, lines for photos, lines for party merchandise, and humungous lines for characters! Wait times for rides were pretty low. Hallowishes was amazing! The Celebrate the Magic was the same version shown every night. I was unable to see the show, which is supposed to be great, and saw most of the second parade on Main Street (could see easily; crowds low). The 5 hours of the party goes by in a flash. Some tough decisions need to be made.

We just returned from Disney, staying at Pop Century...never again! Room smelled, food court beverage station had horrible tasting drinks. Customer Service is non existent. Very rude at Front Desk! I will spend a little extra and go for a moderate. Just a note..I have been to Disney World 36 times, staying on property, and this was the worst ever.
