  OMG, we went here for my birthday and it was soooooo good. The salmon is top tier, same with the sushi. Plus I tried caviar for the first time which was also really good. The servers are also so kind and to top it all off we saw a rainbow cloud. Totally Recommend

  It’s been a decade since we’ve eaten here and it was so much better than we remember it from back then. It was a fixed menu where you select an appetizer, entree and a dessert for $99 per adult. Delicious rolls are provided with your meal. We had the goat cheese ravioli and the filet and both were delicious. The steaks were prepared just as requested & with a Pittsburgh char. The wine menu is amazing, filled with choices from almost any wine region of the world. It also offers a good selection of wines by the glass, in case you don’t want an entire bottle or prefer to have a glass of two different wines. The desserts were very good as well. Jason M was our server and he did an excellent job and was very personable, making our dining experience memorable. The views at sunset are absolutely gorgeous!!! Can’t wait to dine here again on our next Disney vacation!!

  Food was pretty good, service was very good, atmosphere is very casual. They have a dress code, but many people were dressed with shorts and a t-shirt, some with baseball caps (although the dress code says it is not allowed). It is an expensive restaurant, however. The best thing: if you dined that day or have reservations for that night, you can come to the 15th floor when it is time for the Magic Kingdom's fireworks show and see it from the balcony.

  I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. We had a largely positive evening, the food was delicious. We tried the sushi roll, the tenderloin and the crème brûlée and mille-feuille and everything tasted delicious. The sourdough bread rolls they bring out are also scrumptious. We were also very lucky to see the fireworks from “Magical Kingdom” so that was a great end to our evening as well. What let the place down is the service…. For an establishment that wants to charge fine dining prices- it definitely does not have fine dining level trained staff. While our waitress was lovely, I couldn’t help feeling she was rushing us. To the extent that she brought the bill while we were still eating dessert (which I refused to acknowledge) even though we were still firmly within our reasonable “eating window” slot. When she noticed we were not particularly interacting with the bill waiting at the table (we were still enjoying our wine), she came over and asked if we were ready- to which I snapped and said “I’d like to finish my wine”, which was enough to get her to back off… also, we were actually discussing getting another glass before we were rudely interrupted. All in all, the establishment needs to sort out its service.

  Our dining experience at California Grill was nothing short of exceptional, and a huge part of that is thanks to our incredible server, Jim. From the moment he greeted us, Jim radiated genuine warmth and happiness. Within the first five minutes, we felt less like guests and more like friends. When we learned he’s been with California Grill for over 20 years, it made perfect sense, his professionalism, confidence, and effortless hospitality are the kind that only come from true passion and an unmatched work ethic. Jim’s recommendations were spot-on, including iconic menu items that have been around for 30+ years which added such a meaningful layer to the experience. He didn’t just serve the food, he told its story. To top it all off, when I misplaced my bag, Jim immediately took action and personally ensured it was turned into Lost & Found. His attentiveness never wavered. He also made sure we knew exactly when and where to go for the best fireworks view, turning an already special night into a truly magical one. My husband and I both have years of hospitality and restaurant management experience,and we can confidently say: Jim completely blew us away. He is the gold standard of service. Honestly, he should be cloned and case-studied so the entire industry can learn how it’s done. When we return and we absolutely will, we will 100% request Jim. Thank you, California Grill, for an unforgettable evening and for having someone so extraordinary on your team. This is hospitality at its finest.
