I wrote it off after my last visit there last December as the food quality was at chain buffet level - just didn't impress me at all. Had eaten there many times previous and it was usually reliably good. I'm hopeful some of the more recent comments I've seen over the past few months are that maybe they course-corrected and improved.
I've had so many Disney restaurants that were great, then mediocre to poor, then pretty good again - as chefs change menus and overall food mission changes, things can fluctuate.
Maya Grill was a regular go to for my family for a decade when it had really creative European/Mexican spiced foods with cuts of meat and great flavors - then at one point, it was down to almost Taco Bell level, with bland stereotypical American Mexican food for a few years. It recovered since, and while not as good as the original, is back to decent grilled meats blended in with more typical American Mexican dishes - at least those are better prepared and cooked too.
Turf Club at Saratoga is another - it started out as a great hidden steakhouse with good cuts of meat and preparation. Then it tried to go 'Friday's' with burgers and chicken fingers with more families and kiddies, and was bland as dirt. It had a few attempts to improve back towards steakhouse during a few chef changes, but it was never more than mediocre. About a year and a half ago, a new chef came in and overhauled again - and I found the food quality and preparation had notably improved - it's now back on my list as a good secret spot to book (unless it changes again).
There are the restaurants that have generally always been fairly poor to mediocre that for a brief flash had something really great, restaurants i had never booked for years and suddenly tried it and thought 'WOW! This new version is so great it's on my permanent list!' Then when I went back the next time, it was back to terrible, and I never went again.
Tony's Town Square I always considered pretty bad and never went there, then one time after I heard of some changes, I decided to try it and found it surprisingly good - it was some kind of deep bowl with pasta, meat, and cheeses baked together and was very good. So much so I went back a year later, and even saw 'baked rigatoni' on the menu - figuring that was it, I ordered it and NOPE! Back to out-of-the-can tomato sauce, overcooked pasta, and just not very good. I think they had a chef there that tried something new and really improved things but then they moved somewhere else, and it went right back down hill again.
