Bad service, slow, unfriendly, tired menu but that's only dinner - just bother with breakfast and make sure you get Rola - she's awesome and this place does breakfast well. Dinner is blah and those uniforms are a joke. We used to love this place but now it's gone downhill!

This was our first meal on our Disney trip. We were seated on time. I had the burger with lobster and it was fantastic. My husband had a steak and he said it was cooked perfectly (MR). The service wasn't great and our drink refills were slow. The dessert sampler was cute and tasted ok. I would definitely go back... More

Ate here on our first night at Disney World. We were told at checkin that we should lock up our cards and IDs in the room safe and just use our Disney World issued card to pay for everything, so that's what we did. We figured that the card was used as ID as it is on the Disney cruises... More

This is a nice place to grab a small to moderate breakfast on your way to the Magic Kingdom. The atmosphere is very keeping to the great Cafes and Resorts along the New England coastline from the early 1900's. The food is fun and inviting, a bit more expensive than other restaurants around WDW. This is a frequent morning ritual... More

On our Magic Kingdom day, we decided to get outside the park to eat dinner and go back to watch the fireworks.. The food is usually better and we were certainly not disappointed. The service was great eventhough we could not hear everything our server had to say (strong accent). He kept bringing juice and chocolate milk refills to improve... More

If you've ever eaten at some of the restaurants at Disney's Grand Floridian resort, you know that some are more formal than others. The GF Café falls in the middle. It offers a formal sit down eating experience without being too fancy. The drink menu offers various "sweet" and "serious" adult beverages. The dinner menu also had good offerings we... More

Not great service, not great food, overpriced for what you get. Also this was the only restaurant in disney anywhere that did nothing for us for our anniversary. Such a disappointment - choose narcoossees just outside instead. Same prices but much better food, service, view etc.

This is one of our favorite breakfast locations in Disney, but the last 2 times we have noticed less and less food quality and amount. Still a beautiful restaurant, but we will not visit it multiple times on future visits.
