California grill for drinks and appetizers?

[andera42]

I would like to try California grill for drinks and appetizers only. Do I need a reservation for this ? I'm going to be there in mid October and will be with 3 adults.

No, you don't need a reservation if you let the host downstairs know you would like to sit in the lounge. Unless you are trying to go up just prior to the MK fireworks, you should almost always be able to get in.

The cocktails, craft beer selections and apps are really good at CG. And, while sitting in the Lounge, should you decide to dine from the full dinner menu, the staff will serve you there.

You could just go to the lounge and have it, but seating there is on a first come first serve basis and you aren't guaranteed to get in. Best bet is to go right at open to have the best luck of getting in. There is also no reason why you can't make a reservation and just have apps and dessert. We've done something similar with just sushi and dessert

I'd recommend getting a reservation if you don't feel like waiting around until there is availability in the lounge, it can take hours before you can go up if it is busy in the lounge.
