We love to dine there!!! It is sort of a calm oasis right next to the chaos of Chef Mickeys (which is really fun, but loud, hectic and always busy)....we have always had excellent food there (although I have read several ho-hum reviews)...we have never had to wait for a table and service is usually good. It is open, the monorail goes right over your head and just feels a lot less rushed than many of our Disney dining experiences
We have reservations there for our first night at the CR in November!! Can't wait (7 weeks from today actually!!)
