Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 5 - I will be going back here again. Steak was cooked perfectly and the shrimp rolls are AWESOME!
Service: 5 - very attentive
Atmosphere:5 - has the small cafe feel.
Okay for Children: Yes
Okay for Couples: Yes - wonderful meal and being a small location you dont have to yell to hear each other. Plus with the setting of the lobby just feet away, it transplants you away from everything Disney.
Be Sure to Try: Everything above. I could not find anything wrong with this dinner. Even my picky eater 10 year old son cleaned his plate of everything that was put in front of him
General tips: Like most sit down locations you must have ressies because this is a small seating location.
Extra Comments: Because this is in a resort most people will not think of eating here. This is a much better decision for a sit down meal than any other table service that you will find at the Magic Kingdom. Take the Resort Monorail and enjoy your meal!

Atmosphere: 9
Okay for Children: Well, they were very accomodating for my (then 11 week old) son.
Okay for Couples: Absolutely! Great lighting, and fairly quiet.
Be Sure to Try: EVERYTHING!! The menu is not enormous nor is it limiting. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious! We especially loved the Filet Mignon, and Creme Brulee.
General tips: Though this gem is often overlooked for flashier places such as Ohana or the Spirit of Aloha, it is VERY worth the time, and they are very good at getting you in at your ADR time.
TheMouseForLess tips: Very good choice for the MYW Dining Plan TS.
Extra Comments: Been there,did it twice, doing it again, and again,
and again... :)
