I just recently posted this review (on the restaurant review board, titled "February Dining Review") from our dinner there on 2/5 - it was fabulous!!! We were there around an hour and a half, and Remy came around to each table. He's adorable!!!
After sloshing around in the rain for a while, we headed over to Les Chefs de France for our 5:10 ADR. We got there around 4:40 and they were able to seat us right away - a nice break from the downpour. This is a really pretty restaurant. We were seated right next to the windows in the atrium portion, and it was a great day to people-watch. Our waiter, Vincent (veen-sahn, as he said with his cute French accent) was really attentive. He brought us a crusty, warm baguette that was really delicious - DS1 and DS2 especially loved that it was wrapped in paper. Little things amuse them! And the little thing that amused them the most was Remy! He was so cute, squeaking at them from his silver tray. That truly was a magical Disney moment. But I digress, so back to the food. Ah, the food. Yum, the food. Delicious was the food! DH had the french onion soup (which we paid for OOP), and he said it was really, really good. He loved the cheese on top. He had the beef tenderloin filet with au gratin potatoes and green beans for his entree, and he said the green beans were cooked perfectly (and he was given a huge portion of them). Again, he's not a big potato fan, but he did like the au gratin. I had a bite and it was creamy and rich, with a crispy crust on the top - yum. His steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and had a nice crust on the outside. It looked great, but he did say it actually tasted a bit bland, so he used quite a bit of salt on it. Alas, he still ate it all. I had the French menu, which is a great deal on the dining plan because an appetizer is included. I had the lobster bisque, which was creamy and smooth, with chunks of lobster in the middle... very delish. I had the gratin de macaroni for my entree, which my DH thought was hilarious because why order "just" mac & cheese in a fancy restaurant? I told him - it's FANCY mac & cheese! And that it was. It had a rich cream sauce and the gruyere cheese melted on the top was slightly brown and bubbly. Sigh. I could eat a bowl of it right now. The portion was huge; I only ate half and took the rest to go. DS1 had the cheese pastry for his appetizer, which came with a side salad. He nibbled on the pastry and refused to eat the salad because it had a viniagrette dressing on it, but DH and I had a few bites of each and it was very tasty. The pastry was flaky and didn't have a strong cheese flavor, but it was good. The salad dressing was yummy - nice and light. DS1 had a cheeseburger and french fries for his entree. The burger was a good size and the fries were thin and crispy - very, very good and a HUGE portion that he shared with DS2. DS2 had a salad for an appetizer and also would not eat it because of the dressing. He had the breaded chicken strips and pasta with butter. These were three actual chicken tenders, and good-sized ones at that. He gobbled them up and ate a few bites of his pasta, and a bunch of DS1's fries. DS1 and DS2 both had chocolate ice cream for dessert, which was rich and tasty. DH and I had the creme brulee, which was delicious. Now DH is a bit strange, you see, and doesn't like the caramelized sugar on the top of his brulee - so lucky me, he peeled it off and threw it on top of my dish. Double sugar - woo hoo! We both scraped our dishes clean... yum, yum, and YUM. I would highly recommend this restaurant as a great use of TS credits on the dining plan. The food is delicious, the kid's portions are huge (the biggest we encountered the whole trip), Remy is adorable, the service is wonderful, and the atmosphere is really, really nice but not too stuffy for kids. This one was a big winner in my opinion!

The ambience is lovely and the food is really good! The bacon/onion flatbread is nummy
Dh and I have ate there on a no kids trip and I am taking dd there for lunch on the upcoming trip. We never got to experience Remy so that will be cute!
