We just got back Sunday. We were at WDW from Nov. 21st. We ate at Raglan Road three times. Once for lunch and twice for dinner. We had excellent service and good food all three times. In fact, for lunch we even got a special treat.
There are three of us in our family and we were on the dining plan. My husband and 17 year old son decided to have a starter to share (baby back ribs in a Guinness sauce) and I was looking at the solo ones when the server came back with our water and asked me if I liked scallops. I love them and he said those were his favorite and if I wanted the scallop forest I could order that even though it was meant to be a starter for sharing and counted as two. Technically I couldn't order it as one on the meal plan. He offered, I never would have thought to ask, but I jumped all over it! I shared with Hubby and son and they were awesome. I liked peeling the breading off but my family said the breading was very good.
We had steak sandwiches which weren't on the menu but were the special of the day. I think those sandwiches were my favorite meal of the trip. They were so good. I didn't eat the bread and it was still filling. We each ordered a different dessert to share.The desserts were nice but we all loved the bread pudding. That was incredible. I eat low carb and the only time I wasn't very careful was at Raglan Road. I had a taste of every dessert. Not a big one but still, it was the most sugar I've had in over two years LOL. I always ordered a dessert too on the meal plan even if I don't eat it because my guys will.
A few nights later my husband and I had tickets for la Nouba and we went to Downtown Disney early to find a place to eat (no reservations this time). We saw people eating outside at Raglan Road so we asked if they had room for two. We had moved from Coronado Springs to Orange lake when the rest of my family joined us last week so we weren't on the dining plan anymore. We didn't have starters or dessert, but I ordered the Raglan Romaine Salad with chicken and my husband had the Serious Sirloin Steak. I enjoyed the salad very much and he liked his steak. We got our food quickly and the server was nice. She checked on us often. I enjoyed sitting there watching people go by!
We decided to eat there one last time and treat my parents before we left. My Mom loves Irish music and dancing so we made reservations for 8:30 one night (the entertainment starts at 9pm). it was much busier that night but we were seated quickly. We got a good table near the stage. We ordered the same starters from the other day and they were just as good as before. My mother and I split the steak and ordered a side of asparagus to share. My husband had the bangers & mash and our son and my Dad had the Guiness stew (Sod ... the Stew). The stew was wonderful. They both loved it and I had a bite of sons and it was very delicious. The steak was very good but it wasn't outstanding like Le Cellier's. My husband thought his was only so-so. He said he wouldn't order it again, the sausages were a little too spicy. He drowned his sorrows in bread pudding for dessert though
For dessert my parents split a pavlova (I forget the name), it had strawberries, champagne and meringue, my husband had the bread pudding (everyone tried!) and son had the Bailey's Creme Brulee Tart. I had a taste of that and thought it was very yummy! He liked it too. The entertainment was fun and my parents enjoyed the night.
All in all, we had three very good experiences there. We enjoyed all of our meals at WDW (I'll write reviews on the other places later) but Raglan Road was a definite favorite. I had worried about it too since I remembered some of the reviews not being so great.

I have the recipe for the Bread Pudding if you are interested!
