Overall RatingFoodServiceAtmospherePrice/ValueRomanceSuitable for ChildrenOur dinner at the Garden Grill on Saturday, September 10, 2011 was steatrd off with a welcome from Farmer Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale. All of the characters gathered on the upper tier of seats and waved to waiting guests. One lucky family was chosen to be the first family in the restaurant and had their photos taken with all four of the characters together.The restaurant opens at 4 PM daily and our reservation was at 4:10 PM. We were seated shortly after 4 PM. A chef came out and spoke to us about our allergies and what was safe for us to eat. Disney has implemented this policy in all of their restaurants. We steatrd with pomegranate lemonade that was delicious. Our family style salad was served next. The chef pointed out that most of the ingredients were grown in the Land pavilion.Our main dish was served family style on a long rectangular plate. We had the fish omitted from our plate. The turkey was tender and juicy and served with a wonderful cranberry orange relish. The mashed potatoes were thick and creamy. The rice pilaf was fluffy and complimented the flank steak. We asked for seconds and received them promptly. We also had a side order of the kid’s Mac and cheese with the crush Gold Fish crackers on top. It was perfect. Dessert consisted of a fresh cobbler. Today it was a berry cobbler with fresh whipped cream.Throughout our meal the restaurant slowly rotated. We were able to enjoy the entire rotation during our meal. The characters were fabulous. They took ample time at each table joking and interacting with guests at the table. During this visit, every character, except for Chip visited our table twice.This hidden treasure eatery is one of our family’s favorite restaurants. The hospitality is outstanding. It is a perfect family meal to all sit together and have the characters and food come to you. I would highly recommend the Garden Grill.
