I digress, this is after all not about breakfast but Lunch...the first lunch ever served at Chef Mickey's to be exact.
We had a party of 7 (including two 2 year olds). As we arrived we noticed 2 things in particular that didn't bode well.
- Some staff had no idea about a lunch service (I guess they viewed it as an extended breakfast shift?)
- No lunch menu was posted by the greeter. Just breakfast & dinner menus where up.
Reservations are a must! This is a very popular spot to eat due to the characters.
Arrival
You check in at a main podium where a greeter will access your reservation. You are then cued up for a group picture with a little mickey statue. I believe the picture is over $30 if you choose purchase it. They have improved on seating times and we sat almost right away.
Decor
We where seated in the back portion of the restaurant that has a glass wall with a good view of the castle. The tables are spaced far enough apart for the character to dance and move about table to table without giving you a feeling of being jammed in or claustrophobic. It is a very plain decor not many notable Disney trademarks other than the characters. The bathrooms are located down a very tight hallway toward the front of the restaurant.
Service
The service was adequate. This is a buffet so not much to expect other than drink orders.
The Food
I wish I could end this review on a positive note however I found the food to by slightly over cooked and bland. NO FLAVOR. I tried just about everything except for the salmon and nothing is memorable enough to comment on. They have a decent dessert bar I guess but I was just so disappointed in the main entrees that it was just a footnote instead of a cherry on top.
I give it 2 out of 5 stars and I would not recommend for the food. If you have small children and you want to meet the characters without long lines this is your best bet.
