Review of Captain's Grille Lunch/Dinner

We had lunch here last month. Since it in a resort it still has a lunch menu unlike many of the park restaurants. Since my husband and I are no longer all day park people taking the time when at Epcot to come here is no big deal. Especially since Chef's de France and Le Cellier have gone to an all day dinner menu.
We ordered the lobster roll which was very good. Had a good amount of lobster with minimal mayo and filler. We also ordered the soup and sandwich combo. The last few visits one of the options was shrimp salad on a croissant which we love.. Again it was mostly shrimp (medium to large size not the mini) with very little dressing.
Two great sandwiches to split. Our Server was very good even though he had an other table that needed "attention" as they thought they were the only group in the room.
Pros:
Good lunch optionCons:

This has been our go to restaurant for lunch when at DHS. We enjoyed the casear salad and split a flatbread pizza.
We asked the salad first but either the waiter or kitchen messed up. This was the 1st time in 7 visits that has happened so no big deal.
Service was fine and the food was very good. Like a lot of park restaurants they have gone to a lunch/dinner menu so there are no sandwich /lunch entree options here unless you do salad or flatbreads
Pros:
Flatbread pizzasCons:

Stayed there from 11/8 -11/13. Beautiful grounds, stayed in Trinidad South. Very far from everything. 10 minute walk to food court. Quiet pool and beach was beautiful.
Busses were ok but if you need to get back to main house you have to wait for an internal bus or take one to Barbados and walk. There are 6 bus stops throughout the resort so sometimes you had to wait for another bus to come.
Too big for my taste.

The Wilderness Lodge has been on my bucket list for a long time, so perhaps my lower rating should be taken with a grain of salt. I'd built up expectations for years. The resort is beautiful. The theme is great, and you really feel like you're in the Pacific Northwest from the moment you enter the lobby. We especially loved the pool, and the splash area was perfect for my 3 yr old DD and 8 month old DS.
Unfortunately, I was really surprised by how thin the walls were, especially for a deluxe resort. Our neighbors were night owls, and they woke us up every night when they returned from the parks and the cranky kids argued about going to bed. One morning, I had to call down to the desk because we could hear their alarm going off for about 15 minutes.
I loved having the option of taking a boat to the Magic Kingdom, which we did several times. They also had boats to Ft. Wilderness and The Contemporary. We took advantage of this one night to eat dinner at Chef Mickey's.
If we decide to stay at a Deluxe Resort again, I will probably save a little longer and try to choose something on the monorail loop.

We dined here 11/4/16 for lunch. It was a short wait before we were brought to our table. The server seemed to be trying too hard to be funny. The menu is different, which we liked, but I made a bad decision. I ordered the fish and I really wish I hadn't. It was a weird consistency, like mashed potatoes almost and quite salty. I only ate about a third of the dish and told the waiter that I didn't really like it. He just replied, "oh, I'm sorry." We ended up paying $80 for a meal I didn't enjoy at all. My DH said is vegetable dish was ok and the bread was good. Next time, we try something else.

I had to change a few of our dinner reservations to fit Homecoming into our end of September vacation. I am SO glad I did. This was an opportunity to introduce my husband to southern cooking. As soon as we walked through the doors we were greeted with the warm hospitality you expect from a great restaurant. We started our meal with the Bee Haven Bay Fried Green Tomatoes, Bunch of Puppies and Cheddar Cheese Drop Biscuits (as I said this was my husband's first taste of southern cooking and I wanted to sample as much of the menu as possible). Our meal was Art's Fabulous Fried Chicken (my husband only eats white meat and this was not a problem for us our waiter was wonderful) and Shrimp and Grits. Dessert Shine Cake and Aunties Chocolate Cake. I have eaten southern food all my life and let me tell you, this is southern cooking at its BEST! I said to my husband that I wish Art makes this a chain. His response was "babe, we can't move into a restaurant." Art Smith bless you for sharing your God given gift with us. You now have us as customers for life!

We stayed at the BWV 11/7-11/13. First night was in a SV studio as we added that on kind of last minute, rest of trip was in a SV 1br. Studio was down far end of hallway,not much of a view. 1br was pretty close to elevators which was great! Both were newly refurbished, and looked fresh and clean. Was a little disappointed that nightstand in 1br had neither outlets nor USB ports available. If you're going to remove alarm clocks, you need to have access to these for your phone!!! That is a minor complaint, however. BWV is one of our home resorts and always a favorite. Had a wonderful stay and will be returning in May!

We ate an "appetizers for lunch" here on 11/11/16. We have dined here before, but this time featured a new menu that was a HUGE upgrade from our previous experience. We had wings, ribs, fish tacos, and sliders, all of which were amazing. My DH and I had glasses of wine to relax with that were very nice as well! Service was excellent. Be sure to keep the menu after you place your order since it is an excellent read on how they developed much of the Animal Kingdom park. We will return here for sure!

The food here is very good, it is a QS restaurant that brings the food to your table. We don't do any dining plan but we eat here 3 times a visit.
We had a couple of pizzas, ravioli, meatloaf and spaghetti with meatballs along with the caesar salad at every meal.They have beer and wine ( including a glass & a half pour). It is more expensive than other QS locations but the quality of food is equal to many TS restaurants.
Since we stay at POFQ we do dinner several nights at DS (no longer spend all day in a park). It has been a go to location since our 1st visit 18 years ago.

Ate dinner there on our recent visit in October. Fish and chips were very good as was the chicken & mushroom pie my husband got.
Food came in a reasonable period of time.
Negatives are limited seating, having to go to the outside bar to get a beer or wine and the menu choices were less than those on our prior 2 trips (Nov. 2014 & 2015)
Still as long as the fish n chips are good and there is another option for my husband on the menu it will be one of our stops in DS.
