Fodd was fabulous! We shared three appetizers... the Potstickers, The Lump Crab Cakes and The Steamed Pork Sliders.. all mwere fantastic.
I ordered Island Chicken Sandwich and it was amazing. Per slaw was delicious.. the sweet potato fries were ok.
DS & DH ordered the Surf and Turf Burger... both are still talking about how wonderful it was. I agree.. it is.
For dessert. I had the Banana-Chocolate Creme Brulee - absolutely amazing. Wish I could have had more though I would't have had any room for it. DS ordered the Warm Apple tart with Bacon-Macadamia Nut Brittle.. he loved it. DH ordered the Jasmine Tea-infused Cheesecake. he also enjoyed it.
Overall, one of the best lunches we've had at WDW!

Had 8:30 a.m.reservation for breakfast. seated quickly and order taken.
I had the Benedict Bamba - it was very tasty. DS ordered the Cha Cha's Wild waffle and he enjoyed it very much. DH ordered the Cisco and Pancho and loved it.
It was a bit too loud at times to carry on a conversation and I realize that's part of the experience, but it did get annoying after awhile.
Overall, was a good experience and we might try it again the next time we go - but for lunch or dinner.

It will be hard not to cruise without a Veranda from now on. It really made the room feel more open and spacious. The bed was more comfortable than most Hotel beds. I loved every aspect of this room and trip!
Pros:
Spacious room, Veranda is great, Stateroom Host was always polite and helpfulCons:

We didn't have a reservation when we decided to do Animal Kingdom on a whim the last day of our trip(May 12th). Luckily, Y&Y wasn't booked and we were seated in about 10 minutes. We decided that we didn't need appetizers (as we discovered on the dining plan, all that food can be overwhelming) and since we used our last TS credit at breakfast that morning, we didn't feel compelled to order the appetizer or dessert.
I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala...loved it... ate every but of it even though I was way past full (glad we skipped the appetizers).
DS ordered the combo Shrimp and Chicken Lo Mein. He loved it as well and barely finished is (was also glad we skipped the appetizers).
DH ordered the Kobe Burger...again, loved it and he too was thankful we hadn't filled up on appetizers. None of us wanted to be miserable walking around the park in the heat of the day.
We skipped dessert as well... just didn't have the room.
We all agree the meal was delicious and the atmosphere more laid back. Will definitely do again 🙂

My son and I ate here on May 13, 2015. While it is cool to be inside the castle, this dinner is ridiculously overpriced. I paid $147 and i thought that included the photo you take with Cinderella prior to the meal. Turns out since January of this year, it is no longer included and you now have to go on the disney photo pass website to purchase it separately for about $15 more. For $147, I feel the photo should be included. the food is decent, i have a food allergy and the chef did come out and speak with me. i had the salmon and it was good. my son had the steak, and he didnt think much of it. if you have little ones who want pics with the princesses, you might not mind paying the $147 just for that but since my son is already over 20, this was pretty much a wash for us. would have preferred to have spent that money elsewhere.

The salmon was my favorite meal all trip. So good. My wife also couldn't decide on dessert, so our server brought all of them. The Grand Marnier Souffle was great.

This was our first dinner onboard. It was fine. Our server was great, the food was good. As good as many sit-down restaurants elsewhere. It would be a restaurant I'd return to if I were off the boat.

ate here on May 12, 2015. I had an ADR, and was taken in at the exact time. The staff here is excellent, that's the good part. the not so good part, i ordered the swordfish (something i cook regularly at home so i know what it looks like thoroughly cooked) and the chef left the middle pink. i didnt touch a bite of it. the noodles and veggies were good. the rice was so-so but the sauces they give you are pretty tasty. my dining partner had the steak and enjoyed it. Everyone else at the table seem to enjoy their dinner. Personally i wouldnt eat here again.

Le Cellier has long been a tradition of my friend and I and when we can get a table, we go. We've actually waited standby a few times successfully but not without some stress in the lobby. This time, though, we were able to get a reservation for dinner. My friend ordered the cheddar cheese soup while I had the soup and a New York Strip steak, cooked medium. We were quite satisfied with our food and our server was very friendly, attentive, and we were very happy with our experience. Could I get a steak of this quality elsewhere for much less? Absolutely - but I wouldn't be at Le Cellier!

My dad and I went to the Crystal Palace for dinner last Tuesday, 05/12/2015 and were less than impressed. We had a reservation for 7:40 pm but weren't seated until around 8:20. While the food wasn't bad, I expected better. The mashed potatoes were very good, along with the shrimp. I've had much better roast beef at places that weren't nearly as expensive as Crystal Palace. While I might go back again, it won't be for dinner which was sub-par for the price.
