Came here after a big long day at Disney Parks. Wanted a nice dinner, and I had heard great things about Chefs. We figured it was time to check this place out. You need a reservation, so make sure you prepare ahead of time.
Ambiance was great. Really grandiose, elegant, and very French, I assume. I certainly felt like I was in France. Our server was from France, a bunch of them were. Disney really went the extra mile to theme this restaurant very well. I loved it all.
As for the food, it was good, of course. We got the Menu Francais (One Appetizer & Choice of one selected entrée (Filet de saumon, Gratin de macaroni, Rataouille sur quinoa, Poulet Cordon Bleu, Boeuf Bourguignon) & One Dessert & Choice of one glass of: Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon Georges Duboeuf, Non Alcoholic Beverage).
All for one set price, which was nitfy. We did one of that, an extra entree, and we were set. I totally recommend you do that, as long as one of the entrees in the offering appeals to you.
We started off with the Cassolette d’escargots de Bourgogne au beurre persillé (Escargot) (Casserole of Burgundian escargots baked in parsley and garlic butter). Very buttery and unctuous, baked in with a flakey pastry on top, and the escargot themselves were large and very tender, very well cooked. Big fan.
I went on to the Fruits de la Mer, tarte aux èpinard, sauce au homard (Gulf shrimp, sea scallops, spinach pastry, creamy lobster sauce). This dish entirely depended on the cook of the few shrimp and scallop on the plate. They nailed it. Perfectly plump and succulent. Accompanied with that wonderful sauce that was creamy, acidic, but I ate all of it and didn't get any GERD. Very good dish.
I also got to try the Poulet Cordon Bleu (Breaded Chicken breast, smoked ham, potato puree, peas, bechamel). Very crispy and juicy chicken cutlet, impressive for a breast cut that small. Potato puree that was smoother than probably you've ever had before at this price point. Very nice.
We finished off with the Baba (Vanilla soaked brioche, tropical compote, whipped cream). This delicate little patisserie was fun. A well-soaked brioche that held its own and didn't make it too soggy. Potent compte to liven up the plate, and a nice whipped cream that splooshed everywhere and made this dessert fun and memorable.
Overall, I have eaten all over Disney property. Bang for the buck is usually lacking, but this place was very good bang for the buck. I liked it, you'll like it. I'd love to come back one day.
