"Delicious food. Only downside was the burger had some very wilted lettuce. Otherwise was great."
"Have visited this restaurant before and had a very good experience, but the pizza I ordered today was too salty and greasy, and it didn't taste fresh - as if it had simply been thawed and overheated in the oven, since the dough had already gone hard. Because of the "buy 1 get 1 free" promotion, they delivered two pizzas, and neither of them was edible. It's a real shame."

"The Grilled Chicken and Avocado Club and Ahi Tuna Poke with Mixed Greens* were fabulous! Great flavor and big enough for leftovers. And the Caramel Pecan Turtle Cheesecake and Lemon Raspberry Cream Cheesecake were perfect."
"Cheeseburger Spring Rolls there were only TWO small rolls @ over $5 each, it's impressive to spend over DisneyWorld prices from a restaurant. First time I had these was Magic Kingdom in FL and loved them -- they were $5 for 1 roll, and $8 for 2, these were nowhere near as good. So NOT a good value, and not all that tasty....They tasted mostly of wrapping and no real cheeseburger joy. The cobb salad was very good and a huge tray with 2 servings in it. "
