We ate here the end of Feb. this year and loved it! The decor of the restaurant was very Art Deco with lots of stainless steel. The buffet was really delish, we all love it and DH can be kind of picky! Jojo and Goliath and June and Leo from Little Einsteins came around to the tables. My kids loved it and the characters were so friendly. Everything was laid back and relaxed, no rushing. Frankly, I was prepared to NOT like this place since so many people here on the disboards posted negative reviews so I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy it! Just goes to show that with food, it's very subjective as to who likes one place or dislikes another, you know?
My DD9 has tree nut allergies (pecan, walnut and pistachio) and ate here no problem. We did not request an allergy meal. Hope that answers some of your questions.
We did it in November and loved it. The breakfast buffet was great and the characters just kept coming and coming. They had a time when the kiddies were invited to get up and dance with the them and parade around a bit. I believe there are different characters on different days so when you call to make reservations be sure to ask them which ones will be there on which days.
I have a slideshow on my trip report site. Click the link in my signature below, then on vacations, then on November 2008.
We were there in May '08. My sons (6 & 2 at the time) LOVED IT!!! The character interaction was great, they spent a lot of time at our table came by more than once, got the kids up to dance, just great!! As for the food, that was great too, it was one of my DH's favorite breakfasts the whole week.

We went last week of May, 2008. We scheduled the breakfast for 10am so we wouldn't have to eat lunch in the park. The food was good. The character interaction was excellent especially since there were few patrons in the restaurant at the time. We went with our best friends who have a special needs daughter. Seeing the smile on her face when June came over (several time, I might add) was worth the whole trip! It was her best day of the entire week.
Ooh, am so glad they have breakfast here! We had lunch here in 2007 and the girls had a blast, food was excellent!
The OP was right about the food being subjective. I review the posts and restaurant menus here before booking our ADRs, and have taken a chance with a couple of places that got negative reviews, never had a problem.
This is on our list and I am so excited to read so many of you enjoyed it. I figure, even if the food is SoSo, my kids LOVE the little einsteins (2 and 4yrs old)
