This is a must for fine dining and a beautiful view of the Magic Kingdom!

Summary Amazing.....

Reviewer's Comments

This place has the best birds-eye view of The Magic Kingdom. If you make your priority seating around the time the Magic Kingdom fireworks are, they pump in the music into the restaurant and dim all the lights...it is truly amazing. They also have top of the line service and their food is just as good. The sushi is a must here.

Summary Great View

They had a great view for the fireworks, but the food is a little to much $$.

Summary Food, Service & View

We ate here the first week of October 2003, for the first time. Always forgot to visit or ran out of time.We had priority seating and were seated very quickly with the grill about 75-80% full. The menu is "fresh," printed everyday. Some noted the prices are too high, but the California Grill is a top tier dining experience where you are not only paying for the fresh food prepared by a true chef, but also the high level of service atmosphere and overall experience. Great view (we watched an approaching thunderstorm coming in)and walked out on the observation deck as I waited for our main course to be served. We enjoyed our selections and the recommendations we asked for from our waitress. We tried the spicey chicken flat bread she referred to us since we enjoy "warm" dishes, as an appetizer and it was great. Our 7month old was well behaved while our 3 year old enjoyed here meal wrapped up by a bowl of ice cream. We also enjoyed our desert selections too. This is a worth while place to visit if you are oriented toward dining at a top tier WDW dining establishment. If price is concern you might want to visit the observation deck to see the 360 degree view and dine at another establishment that fits your budget or palete.

Summary Wow!! What A View!!!

October 2004 my husband & I were celebrating our 12th anniversary. He surprised me by taking me here for dinner. We had priority seating & it took no more than 5 minutes to check in & someone came down to escort us to the restaurant. What a fantastic view! Our Waiter Ron was such a joy! We will definately be back & ask for him. The food was delicious. After dinner, we ordered dessert. On the plate was a piece of chocolate that said Happy Anniversary. Details like that is what makes this restaurant so wonderful. After dinner we walked out to the observation bridge & watched the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom. The whole night was magical! We will most definately be back.

Summary The best meal ever!

My husband and I were celebrating our 25th anniv. I made the priority seating arrangements 1 month before. We arrived just before sundown and took the private elevator. We were seated with the most amazing view of the Magic Kingdom. We had the Artichoke appetizer, which was fabulous. Then our entree' came, we had filet mignon, it was delicious. Then the waiter suggested the choc. molten cake with white choc. ice cream. It was so devine it was obscene. The service was the best, very attentive but not intrusive. A night to remember!!

This was the best meal we had our entire trip. Make sure to get seating as far ahead as possible if you want to see the Wishes Fireworks. We had reservations at 8:00 pm so we arrived at 7:30 so we could take a glass of wine out on the roof to watch the fireworks.

We sampled several appetizers, first courses, entrees and deserts. ALL were fabulous!

Be prepared for waiting along time before being seated. We had priority seating but still had to wait for 35 minutes in an overcrowded enviroment, as there was no where to sit whilst waiting, before being found a table.
The service was good. I ordered the pork loin which I have had before at this restaurant, it came to the table cool in temp and had to be sent back.
I don't wish to give a bad review as we have eaten here before and previously had a wonderful experience. If you have excellent service and a wonderful meal in a sensational atmosphere you don't mind the over inflated cost...I wished I had booked Artist Point (Wilderness Lodge) instead!!
