Also of note the California Grill Lounge can be found in the lobby of the restaurant and is a great place to relax with a drink before your reservation or while you wait to be seated.

    California Grill is my favorite place to “splurge”! Great service, great food, GREAT view, what more can you ask for in a Disney dining location? Yes, it is pretty expensive, but I believe for that one evening of a “splurge”, it is well worth it. They do not rush you, they let you take your time and enjoy drinks and dinner, and encourage you to watch “Wishes” from their location. Top notch in my book!!

    Took my mother and father there for the first time, have been there several times. We were a party of 9. Six adults and three children. The service was wonderful and we did not have to wait at all under 5 minutes. Our reservation was for 5:30 we arrived the 20 minutes early that they ask and were seated before our reservation time. My Husband, myself, and my mother had the beef and it was cooked perfectly to our request and tasted delicious. My father had the pork and he said it was perfect and very moist. My mother in law had the chicken which she ate all of and loved. My father in law had the yellow snapper and he said it had a great flavor and was not to “fishy” The Triple cheese flatbread was unbelievable and they were nice enough to let my mother to taste a piece a cucumber roll free of charge. My children all had Mickeyroni and cheese.. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The Wine Jade Mountian is defiantly something to write home about.

    Oct 1, 2011 Dinner
    Fam of 5 went there for hubby’s bday. Sushi was terrific, Steak was terrific but they switched mine with my MIL so mine was not cooked to my liking: too overdone. Didn’t figure it out until after the meal. They made a chocolate sign in dessert for hubby. Overall, great food. Really, nice service. Pleasant atmosphere. Modern. Cool bar area wrapped around. We should have stayed there for fireworks instead of fight the crown at MK on the 40th anniversary. The rooftop overlooks what seems to be the back of MK and closer than I thought it would be.

    We usually go to Chef Mickey’s the first night we arrive… It lets the kids (and me :) ) see the characters right off the bat which allows us more park touring and less line standing…

    Character Dining is a great way to get autographs without having to stand in line in the parks.
