We didn't plan on eating her this trip but we hadn't had lunch and it looked like rain was coming. We ducked in and while there isn't a lot of seating we were able to find a spot. We were on the dining plan so we ordered 2 cali rolls and 1 spicy roll which is a combo or tuna and salmon. For dessert we got the green tea cheesecake. The sushi was like you'd get any where. The cheesecake didn't really taste like green tea at all. We used a snack credit to get a miso soup and I think that was a good use of a snack credit. We were happy with our lunch and will go again probably in the future. Do to the rain it was standing room only and not enough tables once the storm hit so only plan to sit here either in good weather when you have outside seating options or you get in before a storm hits.

The trip we ate here twice for lunch, once for breakfast and once for dinner. We had never done lunch before and it was great. It is my new favorite for QS lunch in MK. We used the DP. DS 11 had the croquet monsieur and the grey stuff cupcake. While I felt his sandwich was thin compared to others it was huge. Half was equal to a regular slice of white bread. DS had the tuna niscoise salad. The tuna was really peppery so the 2nd time he made sure to take a little off. He had the dressing on the side and enjoyed it. He had the lemon raspberry cream puff. I had the roast beef sandwich. It was huge. One time I couldn't finish it and the other time I managed to. The first lunch I had the éclair but found it a little to orangy so the next lunch I had the lemon meringue cupcake. We will definitely do this every trip from now on. I liked that I didn't feel rushed or crowded while it was still busy and we could pre order. The first time they took us to a front register scanned our band and found our seat the next time we were sent through to the kiosk and were seated. not sure why the protocol was different.

June 8th we did breakfast and were the first family in! We saw them open the restaurant and have the staff come out before the doors opened. That was neat and special. We pre ordered our food and it went really smoothly. Upon entering we walked by the armour and to the kiosks which was different than when we preordered at lunch. We all had the open faced poach egg sandwich and everyone enjoyed it. We are in the west wing and it is too dark in there. We will not sit there again. We were allowed to sit anywhere we wanted. The pastries were fine a chocolate croissant, fruit Danish, mini muffin(bran) and a plain croissant. The fruit that came with it was good too. We will eat here again and would order the same items again. It was not skimpy and satisfied my husband as well as DS 11 and myself. We used the dining plan and I felt this was a great QS option.

We looked forward to lunch here. Last trip we tried it for the first time and this will now always be our lunch stop. We visited 5/31=6/14 and we were on the dining plan. We all ordered the ham and apple sandwhich with fruit cups as our side and a Viking helmet and one school bread for dessert. I didn't care for the schoolhouse bread. there is a spice/aromatic that just reminds me of soap and makes it unpleasant to eat. But that's just me. Seating outside is small but clean and out of the sun . Best to eat here at an off time or it is crowded and has long lines.

This is our second time doing dinner at the castle. We ate there on June 2. We were on the dining plan and we all go the steak. DS found it fatty but overall it was good and to everyone's liking. For dessert we had the grey stuff cupcake lemon meringue cupcake and lemon raspberry ceam puff. As a special treat they brough out little amounts of greay stuff on two plates that said had happy anniversary! After dinner we saw the beast and had our picture taken with him. It was good as always. I think this is a good choice for a dinner in the park.

We really enjoyed this restaurant this time round. Prior to the trip I knew I wanted the mugs that they sell. We got there and I asked to buy them and they had non in stock. They sent the manager over and Casey was very helpful. He gave us the option of ordering new ones and having it shipped to our home or taking ones from the restaurant. I opted to order them. We got 8 of them. Within a week of being home they were at our door. The food was the usual fare like a traditional thanksgiving dinner. At least that's what we enjoy the most. The salad had dressing on the side which was different than the past but alright. the rolls and butter were good. We enjoyed the turkey and mashed potatoes nad green beans. the corn was the only thing that didn't appeal to any of us a little too scorched tasting. The dessert was good as always.

We had a lunch here on June 8th. We were on the DP. We ordered 2 shrimp platters and 1 tuna sandwich. Everyone was pleased. For dessert we got two cobblers and 1 chocolate cake. I enjoy that I can get malt vinegar here for the fish and fries. We found a table easily even though we hit it at the busy lunch hour. The shrimp was good although there was more shrimp on one platter than the other. roughly 11 pieces. They were a decent size and the fries were average like anywhere else. It was not very greasy which I appreciate. I like that there are options other than burgers. We work very hard at not eating burgers on vacation and this location helps with that. the tuna sandwich was large and could have been shared. the chocolate cake was prepackaged to go so we took it for later but the cobbler need to be eaten there because the crust went over the side and made it hard to put a lid on.

We were on the DP so most mornings we got cheese Danish as breakfast which is a snack credit on the DP. If you go early it is quiet and you can just walk through. the closer to 8 am or later it gets crazy in there.

We went on June 3. We had the DP. We always eat here on a Wed. since their menu rotates with the day of the week and we like what they offer on Wed. We enjoyed all of our favorites from the roast to the chicken curry soup to the new lobster curry this visit. We'll be back.

Used to love the menu here especially the chicken marsala. This time it was gone and they had a new chef. more of an Asian flare between sushi rolls and noodle dished and a beef dish. Probably won't plan on it next trip. I would rather try breakfast. Characters are very interactive which I like but found prince charming had changed too since Dec 2013. That makes it hard for pictures when one still believes in characters. I feel drizella was also different the others were the same as past trips.
