I don't know if it's the same for a Grand Gathering, but Tony's is a table service restaurant with an upscale Italian menu. The theming is based on Tony's restaurant in Lady and the Tramp. I don't believe they do character meals; at least we've never seen a character there. The food is good, if not great, and a step above the typical pasta place. We've been there for lunch or dinner on three different occasions. I don't know if they even serve breakfast.
The first time we went our server was so great that we made plans to go back for another meal on that same trip. We didn't get the same server again, but she was there and made several stops by our table. It was a great experience again. The last time we went, our server was a flake and the meal was decidedly less satisfying.
