Review of Teppan Edo - Japan

This was hands down one of the worst meals of our 4 night stay on the deluxe dining plan. I hate to say this, because Teppan Edo has always been a positive experience for us.
My family of 5 had reservations here at 6:30 on July 3rd. We arrived a bit early, and were told we would not be seated until our actual reservation time. We were handed a beeper, and told we could walk around the entire pavilion, and when our beeper went off, to come back to be seated...This was fine, because there's a lot to see and do within the area.
Once seated, the service was fine, but the food was awful...The quality of the meal has gone down hill from prior visits. For example, the salad consisted of a small portion of lettuce with a little bit of dressing on it. There are no longer mushrooms in the grilled vegetable portion, and a lot less veggies at that. The beef rice was bland, and the quality of the main course selections was smaller and not as tasty.
There are so many other restaurants at Epcot to choose from, that I probably won't be returning to this one...

My family of 5 had breakfast here on July 3rd. We were seated right away at our 10:15 am reservation time.
This has become my absolute favorite character meal. The food and character interaction was great, and the service was spot on. The entire meal from start to finish couldn't have been better...

My family of 5 had dinner here on Sunday, July 2nd. We were seated promptly at our 6:30 reservation time.
The food and service was top notch. This was my second time dining at Yachtsman Steakhouse, and I will definitely be returning.

My family of 5 had brunch here on Sunday, July 2nd at 10 am. We checked in and were brought up to the top floor of the Contemporary Resort within about 10 minutes. The adults were given Mimosas before being seated, and the kids were offered white cranberry juice.
Our server was excellent, and we never lacked for anything. The pacing of the meal was perfect.
Before we ordered, we we told to help ourselves at the buffet. The food was very good, and definitely the best meal of our trip.

We had dinner here at 5pm on the 4th of July. We were a party of 7. We were seated promptly at a table in front of a window with a view of the castle. The food and service was perfect! We have dined here several times and have never been disappointed. We will definitely return, as this is a much do each time we visit, which is often...
Being able to watch the fireworks from the porch was an added bonus, especially since it was the 4th of July...

My family of 5 had breakfast reservations here on the 4th of July at 9:15 am. This was the meal I was most looking forward to. The food was great, and the selection of offerings huge. There was so much to choose from, and everything we ate was delicious, and constantly being replenished.
However, our server was AWFUl. She spilled a pitcher of juice all over my daughter's right side, and then almost did it a second time down her back. She wasn't very apologetic, and it put a damper on the entire meal. She then proceeded to ignore us for the rest of the meal, while our plates stacked up and our drinks remained empty.
I later spoke to the manager, who was very apologetic, and credited our room charges $50, to cover the cost to buy my daughter a new outfit. This was very generous.
I would definitely give this place another try, simply because the food was so good...

Our party of 8 had lunch here on July 5th. We were seated on time, at 11:15. The food and service was awesome, and the price even better. This restaurant is truly under priced for a Disney table service.
The fried green tomato sandwich was divine, as were the loaded fries. The other members of my family enjoyed the mac and cheese, burgers, chicken sandwich and wedge salad. The ice cream was delicious too. A few of us took our shakes to go...
I've dined here twice now, and will be returning in the future...

It pains me to give BOG a negative review. I have dined here twice before, and loved every aspect of the experiences. That's why we made reservations again, 180 days out, at 6am.
This time service was awful from the moment we tried to check in. We were told it was too early and to come back in 20 minutes and wait in line again. Really?
Thank goodness, a woman overheard the CM telling us to come back and told us she WAS allowed to check in 20 minutes early for her reservation. This prompted me to seek out another CM named Caraleigh. She was the BEST part of the evening. She immediately called down to the restaurant, and not only checked us in early, but had us seated immediately as well. Side note, I already contacted WDW and complimented Caraleigh, who was presented with a certificate for her wonderful customer service.
Unfortunately, service from this point on went down hill fast...Our server was unfriendly, slow, and lacking in the customer service department. For a restaurant that was only half full, I expected a little more attention.
The food was AWFUL too. 3 of us ordered the steak and couldn't eat it, because it was full of fat. When I brought this up to our waitress, she just shrugged and walked away.
I later spoke to the manager, who asked us how things were as we were walking out. I was honest, and told him about out experience that night, and he apologized.
I would really like to give BOG another try, but I don't anticipate that happening any time soon...

Stopped in here twice on July 5th for a LeFou's Brew. It's honestly one of the best non alcoholic drinks in the MK, and it helps satisfy your thirst on a hot, summer day.

As you can see from my other reviews, we like this place A LOT!!!!! We make a point of having breakfast here every time we visit WDW. It was our last meal of the trip this time, and it was the perfect way to end our vacation. Food and service was awesome, and my party of 8 couldn't agree more. You know we will be back...
