The Storytellers Cafe at the Grand Californian Hotel<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that I adore the Grand Californian Hotel. We haven\u2019t been able to stay at this beautiful place in years, but that doesn\u2019t stop us from enjoying it\u2019s beauty and atmosphere.<\/p>\n

I recently had dinner at the Storytellers Caf\u00e9<\/a>, the hotel\u2019s casual restaurant. We had a 6:00 p.m. dinner reservation and were seated immediately. Even though it was a Friday night, we passed many empty tables.<\/p>\n

This restaurant offers a buffet or a la carte options. Of our party, only my Dad chose the buffet. He was very pleased with the options available. However, at $32.00 per adult, the rest of us felt we wouldn\u2019t get our money\u2019s worth by going for the buffet, and opted to order a la carte.<\/p>\n

We started with a nice bottle of Malbec. Our server brought the bottle to the table and allowed my Dad to sample it before pouring it for everyone. It was dry, and delicious!<\/p>\n

A good way to start the meal.<\/em><\/p>\n

My husband ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, which he enjoyed. As we perused our menus, the bread basket arrived. The miniature corn muffins were a huge hit.<\/p>\n

I ordered the Grilled Lobster Salad. The lobster was cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were crisp and fresh. I do wish the greens had not been left whole. I don\u2019t like using a knife to eat my salad. The dressing was light and tasty.<\/p>\n

My husband ordered the pork chop, which he enjoyed very much.<\/p>\n

My daughter ordered the kids\u2019 cheese pizza. They asked her if she\u2019d like to make it herself, which she did. Our server brought out the dough, a bowl of sauce and a small bowl of cheese so she could assemble her pizza herself. Then he whisked it off to the oven to be baked. I stole a taste and the crust was very nice. If only Disney quick service pizza tasted this good!<\/p>\n

My sister and my Mom both ordered the catch of the day which was Chilean Sea Bass. My mother ordered hers plain with no spice at all. My sister ordered hers with no modifications. Both of them enjoyed their entrees.<\/p>\n

For dessert, my daughter received a Mickey cupcake, while the rest of us shared a Dessert Trio. There was a miniature cr\u00e8me brulee, chocolate mousse, and apple gallette. I honestly cannot tell you which was my favorite; they were all delicious.<\/p>\n

We split the check, but my husband, my daughter and my order came to $78.53. (Somehow my Dad got stuck paying for the entire bottle of wine. Thanks, Dad!)<\/p>\n

The Storytellers Caf\u00e9 is a delightful place to enjoy dinner if you want to escape from the crowds in the parks. It is a very easy walk from the Grizzly River exit from California Adventure. It\u2019s also not very far from Disneyland Park or Downtown Disney.<\/p>\n
