Review of Ariel's Grotto Lunch/Dinner

We went to the last lunch seating, which includes the characters. The princesses we met were Ariel, Belle, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Tiana. They were nice, but not as interactive as at some meals we've been to in the past. The food was nice enough. There was no choice for dessert, just a preplated trio for each of us, including two children & three adults.
Pros:
Characters, foodCons:

Nice for counter service. We had chicken sandwiches & nuggets and kids power packs. Plenty of food and lots of seating. But quite a bit of the seating was outdoors with no shade. We were there in the summer, which meant large portions of the seating area were abandoned because everyone wanted shade.
Pros:
Food was decentCons:

Loved Flo's. Great theming. The Veggie Tater bake was very filling and tasted great. Other members of our party had turkey sandwiches. The only problem was that all of the seating available wasn't obvious. We saw the seating area to the left of the ordering window and went that way. There was only one table on that side, directly beside the waitresses cleaning station. After we were all settled in, I took my youngest to the bathroom. On our way there, we discovered the seating area to the right of the ordering stations that was previously hidden. That side was virtually empty. But, where we sat had perfect views of Radiator Springs Racers, so we were fine with our choice.
Pros:
Good food, good viewsCons:

After being seated, the wait staff forgot about our table. Other tables were getting food out before we ever got our drinks ordered. With three kids, the youngest was 4, this was not a good thing. However, once they were alerted to their mistake, they were attentive & the food (we ordered a pizza to share) was good.
Pros:

I have to preface this that WL is our favorite resort. I love the closeness to MK, as well as multiple modes of transportation. This was our first stay at BR - rented points. We will definitely do it again, and hope to buy into DVC.
We had 5 adults (myself, my husband, and 2 adult children, one future DIL). The plan was for the two girls to share the bedroom, our son to have the pullout couch. Let me just say, the couch was extremely uncomfortable. So, I let my son stay in the bedroom with his sister and fiance' (separate beds - sorry I'm still old school). The couch was even uncomfortable to sit on, in my opinion - so if you plan on using the pull out, I'd only recommend for a small child. I understand that the couch is easier to keep clean, but if you plan on spending any time on it, I'd go to GP or the lobby for more comfortable seating.
We loved having the kitchen - I ordered Garden Grocer delivery, and made breakfast every morning - saved money and calories. 🙂 Also loved having laundry facilities right in the room. It was a walk from the bus stop, or from the boat (Rm 3553), however, we felt it was an easier walk than at Pop from the 80's to the bus stop or food court.
Another plus was having 3 tv's! 🙂 For our afternoon nap/relax time, there were 3 different shows on in 3 different rooms!
This was the worst time we had with buses - we waited 40 minutes on two separate occasions for buses to HS and to EP. At AK departure, we had to wait 45 minutes for a bus to arrive, completely fill up to standing room only, then change out drivers, with an inspection mixed in. If we had had reservations, we would NOT have made the reservation - over an hour wait with all. We love the boats to MK, however, we even had one evening headed back to MK that we had to wait through 2 boats loading because there was no enough room on the boats for all that were standing in line waiting. One night there were people in rented pontoons that were blocking the way for the boats to even get to MK - we had to back up to let another MK boat through, and then coast because 3 pontoons were blocking the path for the boats. I was surprised that they let rented vessels out after dark.
We still love it - would go back today. But thankfully we can return, and do often, so we aren't as worried about getting everything in as others.

We requested a view of the dancers and singers (Birthday occasion) and were told it may be a longer wait, resv. was for 8:30, checked in at 8:10 and we were seated by 8:45 pm, pretty happy about it. Server came quickly and took our drink and appetizer orders. Singers started their show, drinks and water came quickly, appetizer followed. We ordered dinner and tucked into the Dalkey's Duo, The Scallop Forest and the Dubliner fish & potato dip (personal fave), all piping hot and delicious. Family from France thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. 3 braised beef (tender and flavorful) 1 Burger (cooked as requested, 1 Lambo (mine, succulent w/ creamy mashed potatoes)and 2 roast chicken. Been here many time, and tonight was no different, great entertainment, pleasant service and wonderful food. Going again in Oct for son's 21st birthday!
Pros:
Really good food and wonderful entertainment.Cons:

The pricing is wayyyy out of our budget, but come on, you're eating in Cinderella's Castle! We've eaten there twice and can't imagine a trip without doing so. Love the atmosphere, food is good. Can't wait to go back!!!
We've done breakfast and dinner and found both to be fairytale perfect. I'm sure if you go in with any sense of wanting to nitpick you could find reasons to complain, but we just are delighted to be in the Magic Kingdom, eating in the castle! Last time we had dinner right after the fireworks. The stained glass windows are so pretty. After dinner my daughter fell asleep on a bench looking at the castle we had just eaten in. Totally magical <3

This meal was definitely not worth 2 dining options each! Did not enjoy much about it at all. Food and atmosphere were very disappointing. The next day we did La cacienda de san Angel in Epcot and thoroughly pleased.

We loved the atmosphere, our waiter and host.
However, fam was disappointed with no chips and salsa, tacos, burritos or rellano pepers on the menu. The fajitas were very good but tiny, tiny tortillas. Guac was excellent. It's good but many will be disappointed with selections. We used dining plan and there were three signature items we could not order. Personally I would eat there again but my taco bell aficionados are out!

My 17 y/o daughter and I ate dinner here the week of Sept. 11th. We also stopped by a few days earlier for just a soda.
When you walk in there are 2 signs. One if you ordered ahead and one if you didn't. Be aware that CM are stationed to stop you from coming in if you aren't eating.
We both had the roast beef bowl. I had the sweet potato and red potato hash and she had the mix of whole-grain and rice. We both ordered our sauce on the side. I had the charred onion chimichurri and she had the creamy herb dressing. Both sauces were good.
The servings were large. We could have shared. We weren't able to finish-and I tried! I really enjoyed my hash. Besides the potatoes there were onions and peppers. So good! Too me the rice was a little dry (better with sauce poured on?) but she enjoyed it.
The beef was so good! Great flavor and rare just like I like! The slaw was also tasty. The boba was interesting-we each ate one plain. A little sour. The rest just disappeared into the food.
You serve yourself your soda-which I love! Refills!
We would eat here again.
