Sorry...negative review from us. It is one of only two Disney restaurants that we will never step foot in again (Whispering Canyon recently joined the list after our visit last week). We've done H&V twice--both times terrible service (if any service at all), dirty conditions, and bland food which was luke warm and portions slow to be filled when they were empty. Depending on when you are going, you might not even need the VIP seats. We were there on Labor Day and did the Fantasmic Package at Mama Melrose. We showed up 30 minutes prior to the show and could have had seats nearer the middle and down front if we had wanted.
