    The food was good but we miss the a la carte menu. We simply don't eat a prefix volume, thus food is wasted.

    My mother and I went here tonight for the first time in four years. My wedding is on Saturday, and every single person that visited our table to check on us congratulated me and was just above and beyond sweet and efficient. The ambience, service, atmosphere, and food are as delicious as I remembered! They now serve only a prix fixe three-course meal for $100 per person. I loved the surf and turf sushi, filet, blueberry cheesecake dessert; and blueberry lemon drop martini. It was quite a great way for me to treat my mom after all her help with the wedding, and it really helped us relax and de-stress. Thank you! It was so nice.

    It was a great experience all around. Booked it easily through the Disney experience app, checked in via app, got to the restaurant by the designated elevator on the 2nd floor promptly and was greeted with hostess and got seated. Appetizers were good. Main course was amazing. Kids loved their fish main course and chicken noodle soup appetizers. And absolutely loved their ice cream sandwiches. I had one of the best steaks ever. Presentation of the foods were amazing. 5/5, highly recommend it. It’s worth the money.

    I used to love going to the California Grill. Food is great. As well as the fireworks. However the service isn’t up to par. Bartender’s will ignore you and immediately serve another guest talk to them conversation and give immediately give the people their drinks. Meanwhile I had to wait quite a while for the bartender to ask me for a drink order and if I would like bread service. The Proprietor is excellent however the bartenders need to not ignore anyone .
