Garden Grill
We arrived early, but the very nice lady at the check in desk said they should be able to squeeze use in shortly! We waited in the waiting area with all LOTS of other families. I was very surprised, because I didnt see this as a super popular place to eat!
We were taken to our seat on the upper level, and given menus.
This was our view as we were seated. Because the restaurant turns through the living with the land ride we were able to see several of the scenes as we dined!
Josh was very excited for this dinner, it was his request! He is a big meat and potatoes type of guy!
As we got our drinks we were headed out of the rain forest and into the dessert!
Our server Cory was beyond fantastic. From the start of the meal to the check he was fantastic. He explained that some of our salad greens were grown right there in the green house!
I have to say this was one of my favorite things in the meal. I am not normally a fan of the salad being dressed when it arrives at the table, but this wasnt overdressed, and the dressing was very yummy, so it wasnt a problem at all!
With our salad we enjoyed really yummy rolls with honey butter! These are not the normal rolls you get around the parks, they are much yummier!
As our meal progressed, we continued to turn .
Once we were done with that amazing salad, Cory brought us the main course, and explained if we wanted more of anything just to let him know!
Roasted All Natural Turkey Breast with Lemon Caper Sauce and Artisan Bread Pudding
This was delicious. The turkey was juicy, the stuffing well seasoned, and it went so well together! We ended up asking for a bit more stuffing and turkey!
Sustainable Fish of the Day with Roasted Tomato and Pepper Compote with Garden Fresh Vegetables
Josh liked the fish! I am not a fish eater, but I took a nibble. He says the beef and the turkey were better, but the seasoning was interesting! I did eat the veggies under the fish (they didnt taste fishy!) and they were very good. They were fresh and not over cooked!
Char-grilled Filet of Beef with Red Wine Butter and Buttermilk Smashed Potatoes
This was a real winner. We ended up asking for more of the steak! It was cooked perfectly, and was really well seasoned. The buttermilk potatoes were super yummy as well.
Of course we were still turning as our dinner came
As we enjoyed the amazing food, and view, a few friends stopped by!
And this whole time, we kept turning I loved that you could see in the window of the house!
After eating more than our fair share of the amazing food above, this delicious treat appeared.
Fresh Baked Harvest Fruit Cobbler with Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream
YUM YUM it was so tasty, and with the ice cream and the filling it was just amazing. I would order this as my dessert in a restaurant in a heartbeat!
I was surprised they dont have an oven mitt for the handle (like they do at Chillis) instead they used a wad of napkins?
This was a GREAT meal, the service was outstanding (I went to guest relations and filled out a card) and the food was great. I loved the characters as well, way less pressure than any other character meal I have ever been to!

Ok I feel like a cool kid now! You will be glad you did!
The more I read about Garden Grill, the more I want to book an ADR there on our next trip. It looks like such a fun (and delicious!) time!
