Great relaxing ride for those with mobility issues.
Pros:
Easy access for someone in a wheelchair.Cons:

My daughter & I stopped her for lunch in June. Though the hostess was not very friendly ( this seems like a common complaint & happened to us at Homecomin’ too) we found a table for two and a waitress greeted us promptly with menus. We ordered Teddy’s Tea & the Diving Bell with the Loaded pretzel. Everything was really tasty. The pretzel was huge, with a soft texture inside. It came with an assortment of meats & cheeses but also a beer cheese dip and ground mustard. They did not skimp on the toppings! We couldn’t even finish it, though we tried! The theming of the lounge was right on with fun nods to other Lucas films.
Pros:
Good food & drinks Excellent themeCons:

We were looking for a place to get a drink & cool off. Unfortunately we could only do one of those things here. It was a very hot day in June when we decided to try the Coca Cola rooftop bar. There was no A/C though there were seats and some shade. We ordered the mocktail flight with the Lavender Lemonade, Fanta Sea & Mango Kick. All the drinks were pretty good but I liked the Fanta Sea the best. This is an ok place to grab a drink. I wouldn’t recommend it in the summer but a cooler time of year would probably be fine.

Still the best chicken in WDW! My daughter & I ate here in June when I dropped her off at the Disney College program. We didn’t have a reservation but were able to get a seat at the bar. The service was great, she was very friendly and never left us setting too long. I ordered the Hard Sweet Tea & my DD had a regular sweet tea. My drink was just right - not too sweet or too strong. We started the meal with the fried green tomatoes. They were so good, crispy with that bright flavor you get from prefect green tomatoes. The sauce was a nice addition but not needed as the tomatoes themselves were delicious. The only thing I didn’t love was the ham - it was a little too salty for my taste. For our main entree we split the chicken and doughnuts which we upgraded to all white meat chicken with mac’n’cheese. It’s was fantastic! The chicken was tender, juicy and crispy. The Mac’n’cheese creamy with a wonderful layer of melted cheese on top. The doughnuts were sweet but not overpowering. I’ve never had chicken anywhere that is as good. It really is one of the best restaurants on property
Pros:

We were very disappointed with this restaurant. We waited an extremely long time to be served and got a lame excuses from the waiter and no apology for the wait. The prix fixe menu is very overpriced, portions are small, and the menu choices are very limited. Our food was fine, but for the price and the poor service, it was not a good experience. We won’t be back. It’s no wonder it is so easy to get reservations here now. Just go somewhere else.
Pros:
Unusual location and good fireworks viewsCons:

Seriously. Closed for 18 months and all they did was change out some animals? They took away any of the creative features and put up some green leaves. And it breaks constantly. Do NOT pay for a LL. Do VQ or nothing. They won’t give money back if you have even one day left on your visit. I’d give it less than a 4 but I like Disney to much.
Pros:
VQ. Period. BCons:
VQ only but don’t hold out hope of riding. It breaks constantly. lame decor, no creativity, no relatable characters, even the gift shop has little to offerReview of Columbia Harbour House

I mobile ordered lunch here in early August and got the kid's salmon as I had had a large breakfast and just wanted something small. This was one of the best meals of my trip! The salmon was well-cooked and seasoned, and the rice and green beans were a refreshing change from the usual quick-service fries. If I were on a longer trip, I can see myself eating here multiple times because finding a good quick-service meal that's filling and refreshing rather than heavy is tough. The cons would be a chaotic entry/order pickup process since this place is so popular. There was a line to get in that the cast members were trying their best to manage, but there were many confused guests that held up the line by somehow not knowing how restaurants or lines operated. There was a long line at mobile order, so I waited quite a bit but it was worth it for a nice meal.

I booked a last-minute lunch here in early August to have a break from the heat. I'd always wanted to try this place since the theming and area seemed cute and certainly the dining room is exactly what you'd expect - very nicely themed and comfortable. Like Chefs de France, they will not bring you bread or tell you they have it until after you've ordered something, so I ordered garlic bread not knowing there was ciabatta incoming. It was just as well, the garlic bread was delicious and the ciabatta was not. Note that the menu says parmesan for the garlic bread, but it's a thick layer of mozzarella. Delicious, but not what I was expecting. I also got one of the fancy lemonades, which tasted great but did not have free refills which the waitress did not warn me about. For my meal, I got the alfredo with chicken. The pasta and sauce tasted great and was cooked well, but the chicken was bland and dry and they clearly keep it in a bucket to sprinkle over whatever meal needs it. There were only a few pieces - I'm not sure it would have made it to 4oz of protein. The pasta itself was pretty small, too - maybe 1/2-2/3 the size of an Olive Garden alfredo. I might come here again since it was nice and cool and dark and easy to get a reservation, but it wouldn't be for the food. The total for garlic bread, alfredo with chicken, two fancy lemonades, tax, and tip was $66.36.
Pros:
Dark and air conditioned Alfredo tasted good Easy to get a last-minute reservation or walk-inCons:

I ate here in early August 2024 for dinner on my birthday since I remember this having been quite good for a theme park. Unfortunately, that is no longer true. First, they will not bring you bread or even say that there *is* bread until you have ordered, so you can't have something to nibble on first so you're not making an empty-stomach decision. Had I been less ravenous, I probably would have ordered a better choice. I got the strip steak, which was at least half fat/gristle that was not really edible. It had grill marks, but seemed like it had been cooked to temp and held, then tossed on the grill to finish so it was generally grey and sad-looking on the outside (I ordered medium rare, which it was). My steak came with a compound butter topping, but since the steak wasn't hot and freshly-grilled, just kind of lukewarm, and the butter was hard out of the fridge, it didn't melt. It tasted fine but it was very difficult to get an appropriate amount with each bite.The roasted potatoes had obviously been kept under a heat lamp for a long time, as they had a terrible, rubbery texture rather than a nice, toasty, roasted texture. The green beans were unseasoned and overcooked, and the portion on the sides was very very small - I got more green beans with my kid's meal at Columbia Harbour House! Overall, the meal was pretty bland with nothing interesting going on outside of the butter. The bread, however, once I got it, was very very good. The service was fine, but definitely rushed. I was looking forward to enjoying my glass of wine (house pinot noir even though I pointed to the nicer one on the menu) and bread, but my steak was brought out not 10 minutes after I ordered it. I understand that this is a theme park restaurant and they want to churn tables, but that was a little much. They didn't even pretend the steak was actually cooked to order. I skipped dessert because I had no faith it would be worth the money. I probably should have ordered the salmon, since that looked like it may have been cooked fresh. Such a disappointment. With tax and tip, my steak and house wine was $71.54.
