I can't remember exactly what day I was here. It was a week day in late May /early June, so not to long ago.
It was just me, my 3.5 year old and my 17 month old. We went to Downtown Disney just to get out of the house and have a fun day together.
We were there about 1 or 2 in the afternoon, and the wait to get in wasn't to long. Maybe 5 minutes. We were seated in the comet room (I can't remember the exact name they called it) and had a view of fire where they do the chickens, as well as the Ice cave and the ocean room.
First, the tables are kind of close together and made it hard to maneuver high chairs around. Our hostess was nice, as was our waiter. However, we didn't find out he was nice for quite a while as it took him a bit to come over to take our order.
I ordered one order of the kids pasta for them to share as neither will finish a whole order on their own and I ordered myself just an appetizer for my meal. I tried the two dip appetizer with the queso and creamy shrimp dip. So not worth it.
First it took a long time to get our food. At least my boys had the light up cups to keep them occupied. Then, when we received our food, mine was wrong- they brought me sliders. My boys didn't eat much of their pasta, which is unusual for them as it's their favorite dish. It was kind of cold when it came out, but they usually prefer their pasta to be room temp.
Finally after about another 10 minutes I received my appetizer. I had to eat it fast as the boys were starting to loose interest fast in their food. The occasional sounds from the animals and the dimming of the lights helped keep their interest. But it turned out that eating it fast wasn't a problem as it was horribly gross.
The queso wasn't hot- I wouldn't even call it warm- and that made it clumpy. The red and blue chips, while decorative, were chewy. The creamy shrimp dip was more like a thin soup with a few pieces of shrimp thrown in. I would have said something to our waiter, but he was no where to be found and no one else stopped by so after a few bites and $10 wasted, I gave up. As soon as our waiter reappeared I asked for the check. I didn't even get an apology for the wait to get my food, or the fact that my order was wrong to begin with.
So my verdict: If you're looking for lunch or dinner skip it. It's not worth the price for the quality of food you get. We basically spent $23 on one kids meal, one appetizer and 3 drinks.
However, several people around us ordered the volcano dessert- that did look yummy and people were liking it. My advice would be to go there just for a shared dessert to enjoy the decor and a little bit of cool air or to sit out the afternoon rain.

We had a fabulous time there with good food and great service.
!! They over charge me.. and they can't do anything about it. I told her I'd never eat there again. I truly have never heard of such a thing. She didn't at all care if I never ate there again or if I gave them a bad review because of it. My next step is to write to the corporate president. If he can't fix it, then I definitely will tell everyone.
