ONE ravioli is called a "raviolo."
We ate there a year ago and the service was horrible. It took over 3 hours to serve a 3-course meal. We arrived just before 8 and weren't able to get out of there until after 11. Several of our entrees were ice cold when they finally arrived. The view of the fireworks was spectacular and I loved how they're able to play the music for it like we were in the park. But it's not worth getting a meal there. It was a major disappointment overall.
Thanks to the new prix fixe menu, my family of 5 – including two “adults” aged 13 & 11 – is on the hook for $400 before taxes & tip (and wine, lol). As much as my wife & I have loved our past meals at California Grill, I can’t justify that price moving forward.
If someone promises Ravioli I want several ones, but they give you one big raviolo so they do not even know what they are doing (menu) 🤗🙈
happy Easter, y’all. 🎩🥂🖤
So no more making a meal out of sushi. No more gourmet pizza and salad combos. Variety was one of the features that made California Grill great. Looks like Disney has used COVID and 50th Anniversary shenanigans to ruin yet another formerly great restaurant.
I ate at the California Grill in June 1994
It’s perfect you get the best view of magic kingdom I’m going April 17
I am scared if elevators bit for Disney world I’m going to be brave I have been taking stairs up to 25 flights it’s time I get over my fear I have been on an elevator since 2020
Happy Easter everyone if your going to Disney have a magical day🐣 🐰
I wish the pixie dust annual pass had more open holidays but ig so others who have regular tickets it’s fair since we can go everyday in Florida those who don’t live here they deserve holidays
11:53 I’m excited to try the peanut and banana torte dessert because the hibiscus 🌺 and I wear one everyday with different colors
I never been to chefs Mickey I wanna go their first and try Mickey waffles 🧇
Love this restaurant. We have eaten here twice, first time a la carte and second time fixed price. The a la carte time was fabulous from start to finish, best ever meal at WDW. The fixed price menu was okay to good but was nowhere near as good as the first time we were here and not worth the price charged. Won’t return while it is a fixed price meal, which is a shame.
I tried California pizza kitchen I loved it now I wanna try California grill and go on that premium private balcony seeing the fireworks 💥
The last time I was at California Grill, I saw a man with his family wearing shorts, sandals, and a Mickey hat, and I’m still wondering till this day how the hell did he get past the elevator?
Hello, I was just wondering if you had a video rounding up vegan options at Disneyworld? Lots of love from Switzerland ❤❤
Are there on my last trip 4 years ago, very good food. Doing Ohana this year
I'm sorry, seeing the orange lighting over that parking……much less the parking…..KILLS THE MAGIC! Who the HELL planned that?
Ate there in 2017 and it was a wonderful experience. Obviously, not nearly as expensive as it is now! We had the fillet for our entrée and it was spectacular. Also watched the fireworks from outside on the observation deck, and that was fun (but I definitely recommend seeing them for main street for the full experience). We shared a dessert, and that is a nice option. Too bad they have structured it to make it so crazy expensive now – but what isn’t these days!?
I really wish they would get rid of the prix fixe menu
I’ve always wanted to take my family here but I don’t think it’s worth $356
(Not including drinks or Tip)
It would definitely be my dream to become a Chef here
I absolutely love your videos. Not just for the information value but they are just so fun to watch! I don’t know why but they make me so happy.
Sounds good but $85 is a lot
For that price, one of those fancy napkins might just find its way into my purse 😉
Love seeing you eating more of the plant based options! Going to Disney world for the first time soon and trying to scout all the Vegan eats!
We went there for my Birthday dinner on Feb 2. We had a table by the window for fireworks viewing (pro tip: always wear your birthday button). The deluxe wine selection add on to the prix fix price was worth every penny & then some. With my braised beef short ribs wontons I had BV Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Goethe’s de Latour ‘18. With the fire roasted venison main course, I enjoyed Duckhorn Merlot Three Palms Vyd ‘19. I went with the selection of California cheeses and had the Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Brut. Ruinart is the best Blanc de Blancs not named Krug Le Mesnil.
Outstanding dinner. V&A also has a more elaborate dinner w/wine pairing… but Cali Grill is more accessible, and the. There is the Fireworks.
Before the pandemic they used to do Sunday brunch here and it was amazing. It was also prefix, but you had bottomless mimosas, and could come back that day for fireworks.
I appreciate that your review included plantbased options. Thank you!
Doesn’t look good
We solved the money issue by only having two people dine at CG and the others at a counter service option. It was a wonderful mother/daughter meal (in honor of my daughter's high school graduation) and the males in our party were not going to eat and enjoy 89 dollars worth of food so they were very content to skip the fancy restaurant. Food stellar, service amazing, views unsurpassed. I say find a way to eat here if you possibly can.
Without the view this should be around $40
I was very interested in this review but the audio was so low I could not hear most of it. Please improve the volume. I turned it up as high as I could but nope. Could not hear.
I dined at Cali Grill once back in 2016 as a special birthday dinner during my DCP and it was one of my favorite meals ever. Even though I'm someone likely to order the full app-entree-dessert regardless, I'm sad to see the prefix menu sticking around. :
can we get a face reveal?
