I keep reading poor reviews and can't find any good ones. Do people actually have a good reviews for it?
There are good ones, even rave ones mixed in..
You have to find someone with similar food preferences and dining styles to you if you're going to use their review since dining is SO subjective.
For instance, someone who thinks Golden Corral and Old Country Buffet are decent dinner places, would have zero merit in their reviews FOR ME, because I find both of those places to be disgusting.
So if they're raving about a place, we're going to have vastly different interpretations of food and service.
When we do character meals, we only go for breakfast, as it's hard for even a buffet to mess that up.
Even with our breakfast experience with Chef Mickey's, we weren't happy. During our trip last year, we dined at 1900 PF, Crystal Palace, Tusker House and Chef Mickey's. CM had the slowest food replenishment of all locations we've visited. The food staff would clearly see mixed utensils and food in other trays and just left it there until it was empty, if it ever became empty. Untouched items would be left under the heat lamp, crusting over. So if it's something you may have wanted, instead of keeping it fresh, it's left out until it's low enough for them to swap out.
To me, the sustained hype and struggle for an ADR has lead to a decline in quality of the place as a whole because they know people are fighting to get an ADR there. The food replenishment is slow, the staff come off hurried and the whole place seems hectic. The character time at tables was rushed more than any other as well. The only plus side is characters and it's on your way into MK.
