California Grill Review

The view of the surrounding Disney parks from this 15th-floor restaurant—which just celebrated its 15th anniversary—is as stunning as the food, especially at night when you can watch the nightly Magic Kingdom fireworks from the dining room. The menu changes regularly, but choices might include oak-fired filet of beef with smoked bacon-Dauphinoise potatoes (baked with cheese and cream), ginger-scented carrots, and teriyaki barbecue sauce; or pan-seared Florida snapper with roasted fig risotto, forest mushrooms, and a Pinot Noir reduction. Dozens of wines are available by both the glass and bottle.

    My husband and I went there on our honeymoon and they brought us a beautiful dessert that said congratulations. It was wonderfull. the staff was nice, the food was great, and the restaurant was neat looking. We watched the MK fireworks to. It is our favorite restaurant.

    A wonderful place for the Adult crowd at Disney. Food and wine were great. After reading other reviews, I am thankful that the manager has enough guts to say something to the parents of a running 3 year old. This is not the Magic Kingdom!

    We really enjoyed our meal here except for the manager getting on to us because our 3 year old was running around a bit...this is Disney after all....lol

    I would say that the filet at Jikos is better than the filet at California Grill. The California Grill has a great wine list and has diversity within its menu. The service was outstanding aside from the manager's comments....the guy ought to be re-assigned to a walk-up.

    The decor was very dated and the temp quite cool along with the manger's attitude towards small children.
