How long for Steakhouse 71 dinner?

[slvc1996]

Can anyone share their experience with how long to allot for dinner at Steakhouse 71? Just two adults here, we may split an appetizer and wanted to try the chocolate cake but also willing to cut those and just do a main course. When I made reservations I booked for half an hour after MK was scheduled to close, and of course now they've extended the hours but there are no other reservations.

Ideally with MK open until 11 now instead of its previously scheduled 8pm close we'd like to head back into the park after dinner, if only for a short time, to take advantage of the shorter waits post-fireworks. Trying to gauge whether that's worth it and how much time we'd realistically have. Thanks in advance!

It's not a super long meal; the food comes out fairly quickly. Maybe allot an hour and a half if you're planning on an appetizer and the cake.

I'd schedule at least 45 minutes if you are eating more than an entree and 60 minutes if you are ordering an ap and the chocolate cake (yum!) Enjoy!

I would plan on 90 minutes and I wouldn't skip the app or the cake (especially the cake - it's SO good!)

I would say about 90 minutes. DH and I ate there in November and shared an appetizer, had steaks and shared a piece of cake. I can't remember exactly how long we were there, but I would say it was probably about an hour and a half. The spacing of the courses was excellent and we didn't feel rushed, but we also didn't feel like we had long waits between them either.
