Just finished, thanks for the reviews, they were highly enjoyable, and now I need a snack before bed!

If your going to get a snack before bed, make sure you have enough for everyone here. And also brush your teeth afterwards. Got it.

Great reviews here...I'm going back to read your previous year's.

And thank heavens for your Cali Grille review...finally someone who agrees with me! We were just there in May 2008 and were also seriously disappointed in the foods we ordered, including that same steak...and tell you what, we like ours rare and they delivered it rare...but it still tasted "meh". Main problem is the seasoning I think...they're overly concerned with coming up with a cutting-edge-trend-setter recipe, and kind of forgot about that other important issue: yeah but does it taste good? At least you did get a view...we had a window seat, but they kept the blinds down the whole time we were there (waiter said they'd raise them once the sun went down...so we use 2 credits per person on the Paid-for DDP to dine in a restaurant with a wonderful view...and we don't get to see the view. We won't be going back there...

Thank you. My past years reviews are not as witty (too lazy to get into writing it), but just as honest.
I usually don't see many negative reviews on such coveted places, but as most have read I never pull any punches and tell it like I eat it.
I said it before, a lot of people are blinded by others reviews and go in those restaurant with blinders on. Now I know not all of you, but a lot of you. Thats fine I hope my honest reviews have helped sway any fence sitters.
After all it's only food "opinions", thank you for reading. (where are my fireworks)

This was a cobb salad for one. We asked if they could do it and the waitress she had to find out, she said since they were not busy they would do it, but normally they don't. Why the hell would it matter if they are busy or not. They still have to throw a salad together, just put in a little less OH WISE CHEF OF THE SALAD WORLD. It's a bit odd of a comment but anyway the salad had the meats on the side for my wife. We both thought it was just OK, sure as hell nothing special and certainly not something the derby should be all high and mighty over. It's L E T T U C E, and some fixings, Jeez. I wouldn't boast about it like the do. Look at me I invented cheese on bread and then toast it, I am a food genius. If your expecting something so awesome just forget about it. I hope I helped someone out there.


Sucks about your salad. I hear SALADWORKS makes a mean cobb salad. All those desserts look so effin good. Wish i was there right now I dont know how your wife doesnt eat meat."no meat? you dont eat no meat?ok i make you lamb"(my big fat greek wedding).

One of my FAVORITE lines from that movie. It is just brilliant!

Toyman - Thanks for the all the great reviews. We are trying Cali Grill this time after avoiding it for years. I live in California. I can get California cuisine all over the place here and it is GOOD. I'm still trying to figure out why we booked it for our trip. Your filet review scared me as that is what DH was planning to order.

I guess I would keep her. Sometimes it just seems better to get a new model.But for now, she'll do.

Thanks for enjoying my food eating memories.... I would avoid the filet.
I do not think in any way it was worth it. I really think sometimes on the reviews here at DIS, that either some people are so happy that they are in Disney, they left the taste buds at home, OR most people don't really eat at "good" restaurants and think that the food they are getting is "great" especially since it's a signature restaurant. That is just "my"opinion and I am not outing anyone. Please use your judgment on the filet there, plus there are WAY more places in the state of Cali. to get a better steak than there.
WOOOSH all that for some friggin meat. I'm done talking about this... for now.
Enjoy!

You are welcome,
I forgot to mention, there is no more crab or steak in Disney, so I hope you
didn't have your mind set on that.

What do you mean that there is no more steak?

I ate it ALL

You are too funny. I have been reading all these posts that they are pulling steaks from the menus, so I thought they finally did it! You did a great report.

New model? Sweetie she's the best one yet. You can't upgrade that.

You could if you get another "newer" one. Maybe one that runs smoother.
