We have never been to CG and want to try it this time around. There will be 7 adults and want to know if sharing the following would be enough food (not big eaters--four of us are tappas people): 3 flatbread apps, 3 sushi apps, the cheeseboard, 2 dessert trios, and of course, drinks. How large are the portions? Should we do more or less? Thanks!
 
unless you have really small appetites, I would not think that would be enough food. Those appetizers are small appetizers...gourmet-size apps, not feed-the-whole-table sized apps. Basically, on the cheese plate, you're getting several bites of cheese...it's not like it's a lb. of cheese sliced up: don't think there's 3 ounces total cheese on there, along with a couple of cracker-sized breads and a dab of chutney, a couple of olives, etc. Probably not as big as one person's entree, much less a sharing quantity. The flatbreads are smaller than what most people would expect for an individual-sized pizza. Definitely appetizer size, not entree size. One flatbread might be enough for one person's full meal (if you have a small appetite) but the way I count it, you're ordering 7 appetizers, each meant for one person, to split among 7 people. Even with a couple of desserts, I think you're going to be hungry when you leave there. I think you'd do better to order more than one app per person...closer to 9 or 10. The dessert trios are small, also...maybe a bite or two per each dessert, so even as a "trio" it's still only the quantity of one not-overly-large dessert.
 
Thanks so much! I guess the pics made the portions look larger. We will probably still eat there with everyone ordering what they want...it really looks like a neat place!

yeah, it's hard to tell from pictures if there's nothing in the picture to give you an idea of size...but we felt the appetizers at California Grill were very much what my hubby would call "frou-frou" sized...i.e., high priced small portions but boy-o-boy are they presented very nicely, lol. So, beautiful to look at, and amazing to taste. Just not enough to fill you up. Even the entrees are small by the usual Disney standards.
 

We are very small eaters and we would be fine getting what you have described. We are tapas people too and I find the sushi servings generous at CG and I can be full on half a flatbread with nothing else. The cheese selection was disappointing but the sushi and flatbreads are good.
