Review of Rose and Crown Lunch/Dinner

We have been looking forward to dining here for several years and finally got the opportunity for lunch. It was very disappointing for our entire party. The only positive experience was being greeted with friendly hosts and servers. We requested inside sitting but sat outside overlooking umbrellas instead of the beautiful World Showcase. The drinks were just okay, not much liquor. The pot pies were served in bowls filled with hot mashed potatoes and very little stuffing. The food was very bland, not much flavor. The fish and sticks were cold. We will not return to the Rose and Crown...been there done that.

We decided on a 5:30pm reservation, which was surprisingly busy. There were several groups dining that evening. We were seated after about a 20 minute wait. We received water and bread service almost immediately, which was appropriate. However, we then waited at least 15 minutes before our server showed up. She was so flustered and apologized that she had a big table and was busy. She continued to give us poor uneven service the rest of the evening. She never pulled her composure together. That is unacceptable at this level of dining. The amuse buche was set down and she barely gave a description to us while talking to the table next to us about something else. I had to eat it to figure out what it was. The food was delicious, and she did get the orders right. French onion soup and lobster bisque were enjoyable. Steaks were cooked properly and nicely seasoned. We selected the creamed spinach and potato gratin sides which were both good. By the time dessert menus finally arrived we just wanted to leave though. I just can't recommend this restaurant. It's unfortunate since the food was enjoyable. The service was that bad.

While we did find the food we ate to be good, we were disappointed in the limited selection. Also, we went down to buy breakfast at 6:30 one morning since park opening was at 7. However, they didn't open until 7. I was surprised that there was no where in the Hotel to get breakfast that morning before park opening. Very inconvenient. I had been expecting more of a restaurant like Roaring Fork at the Wilderness Lodge. This place is even more limited. You order hot entrees (3-5 choices per meal) from the cashier and they bring it to your table. Not quite up to par in my opinion. Cashiers were all very friendly and accommodating, though.

Friendly Service, Decent FoodCons:
Poor Selection, Inconvenient HoursReview of Kona Cafe Lunch/Dinner

Had dinner at the Kona Café on 12/9/16. The Kona Café is my favorite restaurant anywhere. This is the 1st time I would rate it less than a 10. The food was great as always, dessert perfect. the Pressed Pot of coffee has changed to Jofferys coffee from 100% Kona. So now you pay more for coffee much less quality. Kona blend is a better cup of coffee. This being said I will be back because it is still the Kona Café.

Went Bass Fishing on 12/7/16 from the Grand Floridian. This was my 6th and Best trip. Our Guide Carrie was excellent. We were 5 adults, 2 being women who never caught a fish. Carrie made them very comfortable and took the time to make sure they caught fish. The result: Gary caught 3, Vanessa 3, Steve 4, Nicole 5 and Frank (yours truly) caught 9. That's 24 bass for 2 hours of fishing. A great day by any ones standards. If you book a trip ask for Carrie and make sure you tip your guide.
Pros:
Great time had by all, caught fishCons:

Had breakfast at the Trattoria al Forno on 12/6/2016. Every one of the 4 of us had something different and all of us were happy. My wife had a the Breakfast Pizza and she said it was excellent. The pressed pot of coffee was very good. This change was a step up unlike the pressed pot at the Kona café.
Pros:
Good selection of breakfast food, very differentCons:

My wife and I recently stayed here, 12/2 to12/10. As DVC members, this is our home resort and the first time staying here. We have stayed at Bay Lake Towers, The Boardwalk and Beach Club, all which were very nice.
This resort is nice and quiet. We had no problems with the bus transportation.
On our 3rd day there, upon returning to our room, I noticed I had lost my Magic Band. I went to the Registration Desk at 11:30 pm and explained the problem to Wendy, the night receptionist. She asked what color did I want and replaced it for me. Thank you Wendy!!
My wife and I both agree that we would stay there again.

Love this resorts location to parks. Nice Cast Members. Good price! Fewer children at this resort. When you are visiting Disney without children,this is nice. We made a request that was granted! Thank you! Food is just average(was better a few years back). If we are able to visit next year, more than likely we will be staying here!
