The Garden Grill Restaruant

[Eeyoreluver]

We are thinking about getting reserved seating for the Candlelight Processional. Has anyone eaten at The Garden Grill Restaurant, are they good, and what do they serve? This will be our first Christmas at Disney World and we are just a little excited.
Thanks,
Gina

I ate there just a couple of weeks ago for the first time. It is a really cute restaurant, it is above the Living with the Land ride and the restaurant rotates so you see different scenery throughout your meal.

The characters that were there when I was are Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale. They were really cute in their farmer outfits.

The food they served at lunch was beef tenderloin, fried catfish, sliced turkey breast, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetable, stuffing and bread/butter. It was all very good. I don't know if the dinner menu is different or not.

Hope that helps.

Ate there in October for dinner. Food was good. Character interaction was excellent.
The menu was the same, plus we had a tossed salad and apple crisp (which was excellent) for dessert.
It is all you can eat, so you won't go away hungry!
The restaurant revolves and to be honest, I had a little problem with the movement. I am very sensitive to that sort of thing (no thrill rides for me) - it felt like I was on a boat
I was OK once we left.
I would recommend it

We liked it too. Will definatly go back there to eat. Food was plentiful and good. My dh liked the catfish, but I didn't. So, they brought me more of the meat that I liked!!

Yummy! It is wonderful! My word of caution is that you will be stuffed when you leave.

Ah yes, Salad and desert, how could I forget those! LOL

You are so right about the characters too! They were a loving and affectionate bunch to be sure! Except Dale, he wouldn't even stop at our table Chip more than made up for it though. As a whole they were the best group of characters I've ever encountered.

We did the rehitching ceremony at the Garden Grill this past August and loved everything about it. The food was delicious and they even brought a second bowl of mashed potatoes without the gravy for me (the gravy has mushrooms and I'm allergic). We loved the character interaction, Pluto even begged for food at our table. My husband offended Chip by accidentally calling him Dale and when I corrected him, Chip hugged me and signed to me that he loved me. I highly recommend this restaurant, but if you need to go to the bathroom, you might have an interesting time finding your table in the revolving restaurant.

We've eaten dinner at GG twice and enjoyed it both times!

Thanks for all the information. This sounds like the place for us. I just hope we can still get PS for the Candlelight Procession. I thought I would arrange for the PS when we go this time. It seems that people are already reserving PS now for Christmas. Maybe there will be some time left the week of Christmas. Thanks again for all your help.

This is going to be the longest week!

Eeyoreluver- Someone gave me this advice and I was really glad I heeded it so I'm going to pass it along to you.


Make your reservations for the CP package as soon as you are possibly able. I'm attending it on December 2nd and I made my reservation earlier this week. When I called the CM that I spoke with said that they were selling out quickly and he wasn't even sure that there was room at the restaurant (not GG) for the seating I needed, there ended up being room but if I had called any later there might not have been. This is my first one so I really didn't know they sold out so quickly.
