Kona-- 
Not as good as in the past. We felt the Kona coffee in the press pot was not the pure version (seemed to be blended with a Columbian) and we mentioned it to our server who was supposed to look into it, but she never returned with an answer. (We have had many, many press pots of Kona over the years and have ordered many bags of Kona from Disney and pressed our own at home) Food was pretty good. (Love the sticky-wings and steak) Thought the desserts were not up to the usual standard (my banana creme brulee, for example, was pasty instead of creamy). Still, a pretty good meal.

What a great meal! Much better than our past experience! So glad we gave it another try! My son said his buffalo steak was the best meal of his entire life! Everyone at our table raved from the first bite of everything to the last. (Wait, I would have swapped my salad for my mother's mushroom soup in a heart-beat! It was perfection in a bowl! Every rave you have ever heard about that soup is right-on!!!) I loved the cobbler with blackberry ice-cream!
The Wave (lunch)--
Best chicken sandwich on the planet. Fantastic salad with chicken and grapes! Incredible salmon (the day's sustainable fish). Loved the little desserts. Custom cake was fantastic--chocolate with chocolate mousse filling and an Irish Creme wash over the cake. Iced tea was...weird tasting. Coffee was not as good as expected (considering we read they share the same coffee with V&A) We will go back again!!!!!!!

Who told me to give it another try? Thank you! Oh, my! This was the highlight of our trip! My beef ribs with potato mash (you must like BBQ sauce) were the single best entree I have ever tasted! We liked the Taste of Africa appy, LOVED the flatbread with bacon, and everyone just raved over their filets and macaroni and cheese (as they did before--I still didn't care for it!) Desserts were phenomenal! The creme brulee was the best of the trip. My lemon curd was a real treat for tart dessert lovers--very unusual!!! The pressed pots of Kenya coffee were a real highlight. My press pot of loose-leaf tea (Eros--which I saved for dessert) was heaven. Mmmm....

Fantastic breakfasts and dinner! Wow!!! Go for the breakfast pizza with applewood bacon! (Yes, I give it five Mickey heads--but keep in mind that this is for counter service--in that category only--it is NOT in the same category as the above mentioned table service venues)
