Garden Grove?

[grannyminnie]

DH and I will be heading down to Disney next month and I'm looking for a different dining experience. He likes buffets, and I just read about this one at the Swan. Can anyone who has been recently give me some feedback? I read a few reviews and they are mixed. I've never even visited the Swan or Dolphin, so this would definitely be something new to my Disney visits.
Thanks in advance.

We've only had breakfast there and we really liked it!! We thought it had much more food variety than the WDW buffets and the food quality was much better as well.

NOTE: Effective 7/17/13, the Seafood Buffet is served Fri & Sat, only. The other buffets
have been deleted. Dinners are now ala carte. However, there still remains the daily Breakfast
Buffet Weekday and the Weekend Character Breakfast Buffet from (6:30am-11:30am). Dinner
service is very spotty and more frequently slow or non-existent.The food is below-par. We
found the Prime Rib to more cooked fat than cooked meat, and the chicken to be overcooked.
This might be a good place in an emergency, but not on a list when voluntariy chosing eateries.
We actually found the Vegetarian choices better than the meat and poultry. (Until now, we
thought "Vegetarian = Bad Hunter".)
