We ate at Chef's de France for lunch - French menu (French onion soup, grilled ham, tomato and cheese, small salad and creme brulee) is excellent value for lunch at $14.95. Love the French onion soup and creme brulee. I had the onion soup and as my meal I had an appetizer - the Alsacienne Tart - to die for. It is about 10" diameter with carmelized onion, bacon and creme fraiche. Very, very good. If dinner is on par with lunch, the food will be excellent.
Sci Fi is basic lunch food. Woud not do it for dinner food. Burgers were big and good with fries. Ruben sandwich was also good. Milk shakes are good and thick. It is a nice atmosphere if you have kids and have never been there. While the glow in the dark ice cubes are nice - beware - $5.99 each. That can really add to a bill. Burgers run about $10.50 each.
Yacht Club Galley Breakfast was very good as usual. More quite than Chef Mickey's. Characters that came to our table were Minnie, Goofy and Chip in their swim suits and they spent plenty of time with us. Got some great pictures. Dale must have called out sick that day because he usually comes to the table and they have Minnie standing at the entrance, but not the day we were there. Food was very good. This buffet is kept very clean. Plenty of fresh fruit, Mickey waffles, pancakes, strawberry sauce, whipped cream, bagels, muffins, tons of Krispy Kreme donuts, french toast, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, hash brown patties (like McDonalds), omelette, all kinds of cereal, and a parfait bar with yogurt, and the fixings. We always do this for a character breakfast.
Yacht Club Galley - The word isn't out on this one yet as it was empty when we were there for dinner which suited us just fine as we were there with our friends who live near Disney so we could have a nice dinner and catch up with them. That night there were 9 total. I had the crab cakes as an appetizer - very, very good. Dinner choices we had were half of roasted chicken - must have been good because all I saw at the end were bones. I had the the penne pasta with sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, broccolini and asiago cheese. Very tasty but no way could I finish it and I can eat!!! My BIL had the filet which he they over cooked slightly so they took his meal off of our bill. Others had the pork chop (12 ounces) - all that was left was the bone. They all loved it. Our bill, with soft drinks for 9 was around $200. WE would go back again although I thought the past dish they had on the menu was better. We also suggested they bring back the chicken pot pie which was to die for and the cheesy bread. Good food - no wait.
Will definitely return to all of the above except Sci Fi as we will not be travelling with children. If you stick with lunch items there it is not bad and the atmosphere is great. We traded off Brown Derby for Sci Fi this time.
One other comment I would like to make is about the Clam Bake. We had the best server there (Pui) and the chef was very accommodating. We love steamed clams plain with butter. In the buffet they are seasoned with a garlic butter. We asked for ours plain and the chef and Pui brought to our table 11 heaping bowls of clams. When we got in line again he pointed to us and shook his head no and sent over another round of plain steamed clams. Needless to say we were stuffed, but very pleased with our service there.
Any other questions, let me know.
