My Wife and I took both our children their, one is 18 and the other is 21. We were sat beside the glass windows. It was absolutely breath taking with the fireworks. The food was tremendous, and the service first class. Made us feel like we were the only ones there. It is a bit of money, but the experience... More

What a fantastic way to put an end to my vacation at Walt Disney World. The view was so beautiful, and going out to see the fireworks was awesome. The food was AMAZING, very expensive but after all the junk food at Disney it was nice to sit down to an elegant, quiet, breathtaking meal. Servers were exceptional and I... More

I should make it clear to begin this review I am a foodie, and when we are travelling to disney I have an itinerary of places I want to go and eat. California Grill is on that itinerary every time. The first thing I should begin by saying is the food is expensive, however for what you pay the quality... More

We had an amazing dinner here - the service is out of this world, they really go above and beyond to ensure your experience is great. The sushi was incredible, the salad was fresh and perfectly dressed, the bison and filet of beef were perfectly cooked and the sides and desserts were exquisite. Beyond the incredible food and service, the... More

The California Grill is easily the best restaurant at Walt Disney World. Very hard to get a reservation so book early. We even booked our park days around an available dinner slot. The service, atmosphere, and food quality is outstanding. Wine list is fantastic and being able to see fireworks is a bonus perk. Make sure you save room for... More

Very happy we ate at California Grill. The atmosphere was amazing and we had an excellent table for 2 that looked right out onto the castle. My main disappointment was our waiters look of disappointment when we only ordered Iced Teas. They have an extensive wine list, however we choose not to drink any wine that night. He seemed very...

I make it a point to eat here whenever I am at Disney. The food and view are fantastic. One of the best Steaks I've ever had. The sushi is out of this world as well. Great staff and service. Fireworks were delayed due to a thunderstorm on our last visit (the view of the lightning over the park was... More

Dining at the Clifornia Grill is a fun experience. For me, it was the first time I have had a meal that far in the sky. The prices of food were as to be expected for this type of restaurant. The service was excelent. I enjoyed watching the light show on the Seven Sees lagoon from my table. Upon finishing... More
