The one time we stayed at Grand Floridian we were going looking for somewhere to eat the day we arrived, it was lunch time and we got a table for 10 without a wait or problem. The server was good and the prices were not bad considering we were at the most expensive resort. Everyone found something they liked to eat. We liked it so much we changed another reservation later in the week to eat here again. I think if you tried it you would like it, no characters so you can eat without a problem.

While the Grand Floridian Cafe doesn't have the atmosphere of Narcoosee's or Citricos the meal we had there was very enjoyable. I had the ribeye with parmesan fries and vegetables. The steak was tender, well seasoned and cooked to perfection and the fries were some of the best I've had in my life. My only complaint about the food is a minor one, I would have liked to have had a better balance of fries to vegetables. There was a metric ton of fries but only two brocolini and two baby carrots. We shared the dessert sampler at the end of the meal and enjoyed it. It was very good but probably not a standout in the world of desserts. The service was good as well. Overall, if you're looking for a casual sit down meal I'd highly recommend the Grand Floridian Cafe.

Unfortunately, this is the one bad dining experience I had at Disney. We went for lunch and just had awful service. Our server was quite unattentive and not friendly at all. And the food just wasn't enough to make up for it. I'm sure most experiences aren't like ours, but it was really disappointing to have a bad experience in the happiest place on earth :(

We ate here for the first time on our trip back in Sept. '09. The decor was lovely! But there were also touches that my two boys liked as well. We had breakfast here and had a great experience. We were seated right away and the service was friendly and prompt. DH ordered the Lobster Benedict and said it was really good, which is a great compliment from my DH! He said there was plenty of lobster which surprised him. DS#1 had the Eggs Benedict for the first time ever and thought he didn't really care for the hollandaise sauce (it was very heavy on the citrus) he liked the rest of it. DS#2 had the kid's Chocolate Chip pancakes and was in heaven! I ordered the Vanilla-Maple Challah French Toast and it was the best I've ever had! The bread was wonderful, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was so flavorful, I loved it. We all liked it and will definitely eat here again on our next trip in 2011.

OMMIGOD! This is my favorite restaurant at WDW! The rueben is juicy and warm. The atmosphere is similar to an old-fashioned tea room. It is the most casual place you'll find at the Grand Floridian, which is a plus for midwestern me.
It's the desserts that are nirvana for women, however. The GFC has created a beautiful concept: MINI-desserts!!!!!! It's like getting a light yet satisfying taste of a dessert. I could drink the peach sauce that goes with the key lime pie by the gallon! Skip the chocolate-hazelnut mousse, though. It's got an aftertaste like bitter cherries.

This is not a counter service restaurant.
You actually can make reservations for this and you sit down and eat in a dining room with a waiter/waitress.
I would reccomend breakfast. Stuffed french toast is delicious.
Dinner is great too.
If you are looking to slow things down for the night and have a nice meal that is delicious and not over priced, this is the place to go.

An average resturant all around! Prices are pretty good compared to some of the wildly expensive disney meals. What was of interest to us was the table next to us..those of you with children will know who I mean1 We sat next to Dan Zanes!

I would love this if I go there for lunch. It would be much better than 1900 Park Fare. I love the selections of lunch because they're really good.
"Pretty Good!"

This place is nice if you are looking for a small lunch or early dinner! The menu is pretty well rounded and everything comes in good proportions! The cast members are great and their costumes really add to the theme!
