I ate there last night.
My ADR was for 5:25 and they sat me at 5:15. This is very early for me, but was all I could get.
There were many tables open at that point, by they all were filled by 6.
They probably have everyone staggered so that everyone is not sitting down at 5.
I would say that the meal lasted about 1.5 hours. Disney may not plan for this. So it is likely that follow up ADRs will be delayed.
For my starter I had the Chickpea Soup. It was good but not spectacular. It was basically a minestrone broth with chickpeas and hummus. It really needed some spice. The hummus was also flat and really needed some garlic.
For my meal I had the whole fish. It was excellent. It was a 2 pound red snapper. I get the feeling that it will always be snapper. If you order this I would recommend asking the waiter how large it is. They are planning on serving a 1 pound fish, but they are currently serving a 2 pound fish. If it is a larger fish and you are on the
DDP I would recommend one of you get the fish and one get the Kouzzina Sampler as a meal.
I have seen people complain it was messy. I had three different waiters offer to de-bone it for me, so they seem to be on top of that.
It is served on a bed of greens (Braised Greens, Greek Olives, Fennel, and Smoked Chili) These were very tasty.
This is an excellent plate. It is not as good as the whole fish at Blue Zoo, but for a Disney run restaurant it is a breath of fresh air. I wonder how long it will last. It is large and takes a while to eat. This will reduce table turnover.
I also had a side of Sautéed Brussels Sprouts (with Capers and Lemon). They were excellent. I would normally put a lot of pepper on sprouts, but there was no reason two. They tasted excellent. (BTW there is no salt or pepper on the table)
For dessert (I can't believe I still ate dessert after all this) I had the Loukoumades and an espresso. The Loukoumades were tasty but not great. I think they are not made to order, but cooked in advance and reheated. They are served with two dipping sauces. Raspberry and a thick crème (like Boston creme). I had expected these to be like the beignets at Pat O'Brien's in universal. Those are made fresh to order and are amazing. I would not recommend this dessert. BTW: They served 5 or 6 of these. I had seen someone complaining that they only got three or that it was small. They are obviously listening.
As for the espresso I would also not recommend that. They do grind there own beans, but they were not espresso roasted, so something was missing. It tasted very flat. This was the same problem I had with spoodles espresso when it was at this location.
Also with the meal I tried both of the Greek lagers. (Alfa and Mythos) There were a very standard lager, nothing exceptional.
During the meal the head chef came out several times and spoke with customers randomly.
At the end of the meal she came over and asked me how my fish was. She seems very nice and new I had had the fish even though I was finishing dessert so she is on top of things.
Overall I would say it was an excellent meal and I will be returning next week. I would say eat here well you can because either it will be mis managed by Disney or become the next Le Celler with impossible reservations. (probably both)
