We ate here twice on our trip September 4-10, 2016! We have eaten here before and love that the menu has something for everyone! My husband and I had the shrimp platter and fries and our youngest daughter had the chicken pot pie and veggies on the side. Our oldest daughter had some chili and fries! We loved sitting in the upper section! It was quite and spacious and the two times we ate here it was crowded but we always found a place to sit! We already have another trip booked for next December and plan on stopping here a few times during our stay!
Pros:
Great location, Great food selection! Something for everyone!Cons:

Love staying at Kidani Village. Room was clean and ready upon check in at 2pm. Resort staff are very friendly. It is more peaceful here than at other resorts. It is a plus that the buses serve only Kidani and Jambo house, so it is more efficient than other resorts. Although there is no quick serve in Kidani, the Mara at Jambo House is one of the best. The third bathroom really comes in handy. Theming is very nicely done. Resort is really a mini museum.
Pros:
Quiet and peaceful, friendly staffCons:

Food very good. Our server kept our group of 8 adults laughing. Porkchops were excellent. Ordered the Dad's Brownie Sunday for dessert and could not finish it. Entree and dessert were very large portions. Always have a good time and a great meal here.

Arrived at 5:45 and left at 8pm. Service was very, very slow. The food when we got it was very good.

Stayed here Sept 15-22 in a 2 bedroom. Very nice all around.
Yes, it's spread out but that was an advantage in that the resort guests are also spread out and not concentrated around one pool. Very relaxed visit, no complaints at all.
There is no overt Disney/Mickey theme here, you can almost forget you're at Disney. Almost.
No complaints for transportation either - except for the departure Magical Express. Pick up at 8am for a 12:15 flight, a bit much.
I would definitely stay here again, staff were beyond polite, friendly, helpful.
Pros:
theme, distance to parksCons:

I boarded here for the first time as family were visiting WDW with a puggle. This is more of a dog spa than a kennel. Very happy with the boarding experience here and would not hesitate to board again. And I am very particular about kennels.

Always on my meal list, never disappoints.
Fantastic, knowledgeable servers, nice variety of menu choices.
Their crab cake appetizer is not as good as it used to be, far from it actually - choose something else
The pork chop was excellent, the strip steak as well (I've also had the beef tenderloin in past visits - highly popular for a delicious reason).
A bit of a hidden gem, like most resort restaurants.

Sixth visit to Disney, sixth meal at Marakesh. Very, very good as usual.
My friend and I shared the Jasmina salad appetizer - light, flavourful selection of prepared vegetables and olives served with Moroccan bread.
I ordered the lamb shank meshoui, my friend the lamb couscous. We both enjoyed every bite and the portions were too much for us to finish. Neither of us had room for dessert.
I was happy to confirm that Marakesh continues to be one of the better meals at Epcot, remains top 10 on our list.

This was the first time I had eaten there in probably two decades. Overall, the food was exceptional with equally fantastic service. I started with the martini flight which was well mixed. For an appetizer I tried the Carrot and Ginger Soup with duck confit and chive oil. It was much creamier and lighter than I was expecting. For my entree I had the Pork Three Ways with Georges Bank scallops. This was probably the best meal I have had at Disneyworld in the many years I've been coming here. The pork was tender and full of juice and the balsamic punch of the chimichurri sauces complimented the pork flavors very well. The sweet corn-chili spoon bread the only drawback to he meal. It was good but a bit dry and not really sweet.
The waiter had excellent timing, never bringing anything out until I was done with what I was currently eating and always made sure my water glass was full. Normally I don't care about that but I was impressed he never let it get below half full. He was very in tune with his guests tables and seemed to know exactly when to show up.
I highly recommend trying this place at least once. The menu is kind of limited and I don't know if it would be a good idea to take kids if they aren't adventurous eaters. I saw many families getting burgers which kind of defeats the purpose of going to one of Disney's more up-scale dinning options.

Ate here last Thursday, first time staying at Saratoga.
Arrived on time for ADR, waited 5-6 minutes. Restaurant very loud, boisterous. Our server was a very nice young man who delighted in practicing his French with us.
I had the tomato bisque to start. Tasted very much like a bowl of rose sauce - slightly creamy, slightly acidic with chunks of tomato in it. Just ok.
For the main I ordered the spice rubbed tenderloin. Also just ok, while the pork was not overcooked, the spice rub was a bit heavy on cinnamon. An odd flavour that threw off the rest, was better after adding salt. The green beans were the best part.
Remove the noise level here and I would try it again, it wasn't amazing but wasn't horrible either and deserves a second chance.
