I believe that you're talking about the California Grill. I haven't tried it yet so I can't help much. I'm sure there are others here that have though.

It is called the California Grill. If you are lucky enough to have a window table the view is amazing. They have an observation deck you can go out and watch the fireworks. I have seen and read posts about children going to that restaurant. Sometimes, even with a PS your wait time for your table could be 1/2 hour or so, so you may want to factor that in.

Have a great time!

We love the CG!!! Easily one of the best restaurants, if not the best, at WDW. The 8:30-9:30 PS's (fireworks) are hard to come by so get them early. You can check out the menu on allearsnet.com, to make sure it's up your alley, but I can't imagine how it wouldn't be!!

We ate there during our honeymoon and did not think the food was that great. We had a PS for an hour before the fireworks and requested a window seat. after waiting 45 min after our PS they finally seated us at a table far from the windows and said they could not guarantee window tables and they were given out as they come available. since the fireworks were about to start anyway, we just took the table and went out on the CROWDED observation deck to watch the show. The view is nice, but IMHO not worth the high prices they charge for just ok food. If you are lucky enought to get a window seat, or another table with a decent view, it might be worth it, otherwise it is just another expensive restaurant.
