  The people were amazing and the views were fantastic. However, for a high end restaurant I wasn't impressed with the food. The preparation was horrible. I am a medium well to well done kind of guy and that is what I asked and it came out medium or worse. Not to mention the steak wasn't great either. They say filet but it was more of a flat iron. Not much flavor and I didnt eat but two bites casue of the Red. The potatoes that came with it were great and the cheesecake but thats it for me. Paid almost 300 dollars and it was maybe worth 80 bucks tops.

  Let’s just say my experience was fantastic - the view, the drinks and company. Although it would be negligent to not say that the sushi chef Steven was by far the most entertaining, brilliant person in the building. On top of being a wiz with my allergies, he created a beautiful sushi display for me. My friends at the table were impressed and thought I had ordered something extra special. That’s what Steven is, extra special. I will be returning again and again just for the care this man provides. Give him a raise Disney!

  Reduced menu with limited flexibility for allergy adaptation. Every dish was very good except for the dessert options, nothing so special. All gluten free / allergy-friendly options were clearly marked (last picture is the gluten free bun available). Extra points for the beautiful view, and also the rooftop reserved for watching Magic Kingdom’s fireworks. If you’re looking for the late 90’s Disney experience that must be the place.

  The $99 dollar pp dinner package is worthy it. Food is 10 out of 10, but the check in experience was awful: no instructions whatsoever and people are all confused for what lines for what purposes -- I checked in on the 2nd floor at 7:34 for 8:10 dinner reservation. Waited until 8:44 still didn't receive any message regarding the table availability. Went up to the check in personnel to inquire and was dismissed to wait for the text message... Not until I went up to the 15th by myself and asked the greeting desk of the actual restaurant and got an apology saying the check in guy downstairs must have made a mistake not checking us in appropriately which result us never getting the second message. We were not compensated for anything for the 1+ hours unnecessary wait. The food was amazing, but the whole check in experience really put a big dent in the whole experience. I won't go back again.

  Enjoyed the food. Did not appreciate the elevator and receptionist NaZi. Had to explain to them that we had a delay with a guest due to a wheelchair being returned. Took three times to explain it to them. Table was ready but party was incomplete... Had a wheelchair to return. Food was very good. They take DVC discount and meal plans. My tofu appetizer was good. Not amazing. Scallops, two per serving, were good. Bed of rice below them was very good. Entree of fresh salmon was properly cooked. We like it med rare. The dish was very good. Desert was too rich. Chocolate heaven. Service was wonderful. Dealt with an allergy issues well. Getting up on the elevator was a PItA.
