Food was plentiful, service was great, characters were very good! The food is the standard breakfast fare you get everywhere else in the park, but we had no trouble getting more of what we wanted. The potatoes were actually different and very good. Yummy juice. Ouadi was our server and he was very good, efficient and polite.
Pros:
good food, characters, serviceCons:

We ate here on the evening of the 12th. It was outstanding. Our server was Trevor, and he was wonderful. The food was very good, and there was far more of it than we could eat. Wonderful atmosphere. We will DEFINITELY eat here again!!

The only reason I do not rate this place a 10 is our server was rather brusque and the service was a little slow. Our service was not bad, just not very friendly. We had lunch here on the 12th. We had reservations and were seated promptly. We had the antipasto platter for appetizer and the blue cheese was awfully strong, and there was too much of the blue, there was only two types of cheese. Otherwise, we really enjoyed it. I had the strip steak with macaroni and cheese and it was outstanding. Husband had the chicken parm and he said it was good, but not great. Kids had cheese pizza which they loved. . . as it was not the standard pizza served everywhere else in the parks. I had the chocolate cheesecake for dessert and it seemed sickeningly sweet and I did not care for it. Husband had gelato and he said it was ok. Will definitely go back to this one.

We really liked the food we got here, but our children would not eat anything offered on the children's menu, so we asked for fries for them, which our waitress did accommodate and brought them each a -platter- of fries that no one person could possibly eat. .. . our only issue was on our bill we were charged approx $25 for french fries, she had billed us for six orders of fries, and while we were on the deluxe dining plan and it didn't matter that much, she had to know no child could eat that much and it seemed like bill padding for tip purposes. Otherwise though, service was very good. I had the fish with sweet and sour sauce and my husband had the ribs. The fish was very good and my husband thought the ribs were just ok. we had the sampler for our appetizer and it was good. We would definitely go back.

Breakfast on January 11th. Our server was Angela B. She was VERY nice and accommodating to our needs with an autistic child. We enjoyed having her as our server. I had the steak and eggs which were quite good. The coffee could be better though. Our wait was minimal and service was excellent.

We had dinner here our first night of our trip. Our server was Mohammed. He was very accommodating to our son's picky tastes. He was efficient and pleasant. I had the lo-mein noodles, my husband had the strip steak and we had the pot stickers for appetizer. And when my son (who has autism) decided the meal was -over-, he boxed up our desserts so we could take them with us. We were very grateful.

Very mixed review here. We checked in, and were taken to get the photo in a timely manner. but after that, we were JAMMED into that tiny, dark lobby for twenty minutes waiting to be called up. Cinderella did not seem very happy to be there, her smile and cheer seemed forced. The dining room is nice, our server was polite and efficient, if not very cheerful. Some of the princesses seemed harried and not particularly happy to be there. But all came around in a short time. The food was better than expected. we both had the beef short rib. They need more/better options for kids though. Their food wasn't very good and my son would not touch his at all. We knew the 2 table credits was for eating in the castle, but the adult entrees turned out to be good. the pumpkin cheesecake was very good, the flourless chocolate cake was so sweet and rich it is pretty much fudge.

This was our first breakfast of a ten day trip. We ate here twice. Jan 10th and again on the 16th. Service was good both times, good variety of food, although the potatoes are the same potatoes served everywhere in the parks and they are never cooked all the way through. The characters were great, and it didn't take long to get them all.

Party of 12. Wendi, our waitress, was outstanding. Everyone enjoyed the experience. even our 1st timers. I think this was their favorite restaurant. Food was hot and good and enough to go around. Only order 2nds on what we would eat. The waffles were really good. Can't say enough good things about our waitress. It is true that they make they experience. She called the straws (silly straws) the teenagers still call them that. They want to go back only if we can get Wendi. Went there last year and the hostess Casi was really good and that is why we went back. Casi wasn't there anymore but Wendi made up for not seeing Casi. A new friend to visit next year. Thank you Wendi for the great time we had.
