We recently stayed 4/10-18 and our overall experience is table dining is worse than past years, from wait staff issues, to wait staff looking like they had too many tables to deal with, and chef inconsistency from previous years. I would say food at the Springs was definitely better than the "Disney Owned" restaurants.
Breakfast
2 x at Kona cafe - Good wait staff, got tonga toast both times was made well, wife's food first time eggs watery, second time grits were over salted not able to finish it.
Olivia's cafe - Good wait staff and meal
2 x Whispering Canyon - Good wait staff and ok meals
Wave - Ok wait staff, Ordered ham and cheese omelette, got cheese just draped over top like they forgot about putting it in, wife went with safe bet and got fruit/oatmeal.
Grand Floridian Cafe - Wait staff was good but he had too many tables, food overall good.
Lunch
Chef Art Smiths Homecoming - Wait staff was great, food was amazing, had friend chicken and the mashed potatoes, wife had grilled chicken salad.
Beaches and Cream - Wait staff was great, got ice cream was good, wife had gluten free french dip which was great
Dinner
Raglan road - Wait staff good, food was good, AC was not working, hotter inside than it was outside, was sweating during our dinning time there
Trattoria - Wait staff was great, Chef was told of dietary restrictions for my mother, food comes out with item specifically told couldn't have all over the top of entree. Mozzarella cheese appetizer made fresh, was like a piece of rubber sent back., Chef a bit condescending during ordering.
California Grill - Wait staff horrible, inattentive and never around, finally had to ask the manager to bring my drink over, when she realized this tells me she has no idea where she is right now. My steak was not cooked well and over salted, wife's food contained gluten when told would not making her ill over the next day.
Wave - Wait staff below average, food brought out at wrong times, drink orders forgotten, food was ok.
Chef Art Smiths Homecoming - Wait staff was great, food was amazing, had friend chicken and the mashed potatoes, wife had braised short rib that was amazing.
Stand out good experience - Chef Art Smiths homecoming was amazing both times we visited, food was great and so was wait staff.
Stand out worst experience - California grill, if you have been there in years past you know how excellent the wait staff is and the food, will not be returning for some time.
