    Cold Water Salmon
    Ronald E.

    The salmon was perfectly prepared and the aioli made me want to "lick the plate" (I didn't but not sure what I would have done if there hadn't been people around). Service was on point and very professional. A great mid day meal

    Got a last minute random reservation. Two of us ordered against the $62 pre-set meal: pasta $62 bread $14 IPA $17.25 shrimp entree $62 The meal included a salad and soup. Ambiance was nice. Service was slow. Food was ok. Bill ended up to almost $200. Could be a nice change from regular Disney food, but likely won't come back. Menu is pretty limited.

    Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Portion to Price: 2/5 Overall: Came here for a nice sit down dinner. The extended review... Food: Duck Schnitzel- 3/5 - An interesting dish. Definitely wouldn't have imagined something like this. Since I'm a big fan of duck I went for this dish. Pretty standard fare. Service: 3/5 - Standard service. Ambiance: 3.5/5 - We sat outside on the patio since we didn't have a reservation. The outside wasn't as glamourous but the interior was definitely nice. Portion to Price: 2/5 - Pricing was a little pricier since you are at a sit down restaurant in the park.

    I finally had a chance to try Carthay Circle Restaurant and had a good first experience. It is the upscale/pricier, table service restaurant of the Disney California Adventure (DCA) park, but the interior, service, and menu options definitely reflect this. If you're looking for a quality experience and sit down meal, the Carthay Circle Restaurant is definitely worth checking out. We were a party of four adults and two toddlers with an advanced dining reservation. We came in on a Thursday for dinner and had a minimal wait past the reservation time slot. The interior of the restaurant is nice and really gave the ambiance of old time, upscale Hollywood. Service throughout the meal was attentive, friendly, and prompt with requests. We ordered a few appetizers to share for the table and, of course, entrees. I really enjoyed the Salmon Carpaccio with Potato Crepes as well as the Roasted Artichoke Hearts for appetizers. For my main course, I tried the Signature Thick-Cut Pork Chop. It was exactly as described; thick cut. The cook was done well but the more I kept eating it, the saltier it got. Perhaps, I received a one-off piece, but as is, I could not recommend it. Our purpose of the dinner was to celebrate a birthday and the meal at the Carthay Circle Restaurant truly allowed us to do that with fun and class. I would return in the future for a special celebration being sure to try something other than the pork chop. (NOTE: You will need a park ticket to enter Disney California Adventure to dine at Carthay Circle. At the time of our visit, the Magic Key Passholder discount was accepted for the meal.)

    This is a nice sit down restaurant option. While they do offer walk in, I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance. We came here for my kids' birthday. We were seated upstairs close to the kitchen, so there was a lot of traffic, people going in and out of the kitchen area. Our server was decent. She was as attentive as she can be. She was clearly busy with other tables. We have had more friendly servers in the past, so this was a one off. I would have appreciated more attention even if it didn't appear that we needed more. Our dishes were served as expected. We ordered just the right amount. All the dishes were cooked to our request. I would recommend this place as one of the nicer sit down restaurants in CA Adventures. They do also have lounge seating down stairs if you prefer something less formal, casual and quicker.

    In 2020 I had been a long time Disneyland Annual Passholder and had reservations to celebrate my 44th birthday at Carthay Circle on March 19th. As you know, Disneyland closed on March 15, 2020 for over a year due to COVID. Since that time, Annual Passes have been replaced by the ridiculously expensive Magic Keys in an effort to decrease the amount of locals at the park (mission accomplished) and as a result, I have only been to Disneyland once since the closure. Anyways, I decided that this year on my 50th birthday we would try again. Hilarious how much you have to go through to eat dinner at this place. After obtaining reservations from the Disneyland app, I had to get park tickets and reserve the same day at the parks. We also had to buy the 3 day local ticket offer at 250 bucks each because buying a 1 day park hopper would only be 50 dollars cheaper for 1 day rather than 3 days Ok, on to the restaurant- it's beautiful. Think Musso and Frank in Hollywood, just not actually 100 years old. The recreation of old Hollywood is on point in every way (check out the sconce in the bathroom). Service is fine, but not exceptional. They give you the schpiel as you are walked up the stairs to the dining room, but their heart really isn't in it. Look for the hidden Mickey on the ceiling mural in the main dining room. Our waitress was friendly, but also just going through the motions. No suggestions on what to order or casual conversations here. As for the food, it ranged from excellent to OK. I ordered the pork chop and it was amazing. It came with an apple compote with bacon or pork belly and was perfectly cooked- moist and smokey. My wife ordered the short rib ravioli, which were tasty but surprisingly dry. I had read that in the past they had amazing fry bread, but now if you want bread you have to pay 14 bucks for rolls. I'm sure they make them there, but they really aren't special. I don't even think the butter is special either. At Remy's on the Disney Fantasy they told us the butter came from this exclusive farm in France that only makes butter for them. Also the brussel sprouts were tasty, but they were cooked to a mush, so if you like crispy brussel sprouts, don't order these. Finally, we weren't given a wine list. There are wine suggestions listed on the menu for each entree, which we did order, but for a fine dining restaurant this seemed off. I'm glad I finally made it here, but I won't be returning. If I want to spend over 100 bucks per person for dinner at Disney I will be going to Napa Rose. Still the king of fine dining at the Disney Resort. Hope the quality doesn't drop off with chef Andrew Sutton leaving Disney. I guess we will have to go to find out.

    What a wonderful, special experience. We waited a bit for our table and perused the menu outside. We were seated upstairs in a private room with a cozy booth. The artwork and ambiance around the entire restaurant was classic and timeless, very Old Hollywood. We sat in the Buena Vista room. The service was top tier and on it, filled with great recommendations so that we could all try a bit of everything. Their cocktails are delicious & strong, you can tell each one is made well. The brussel sprouts, the bread, the salmon app, all of it was divine. Not too large of portions except for the pork chop, but the flavors make up for it. Wow I cannot wait to come back

    Said bread !

    A nod to old school Hollywood in the middle of California Adventure! The name comes from Snow White's debut theater. The bread was so good! They were very alert to my hubs allergies. He had the pork chop. Service was great and love the vibes here. Many photos of Walt and Hollywood.

    The top restaurant in DCA. It is highly recommended to make a reservation ahead of time. The quality of the food, atmosphere, and service are impeccable. I have never had my glass of water refilled so fast, they have servers walking around ready to refill at any moment. The food was perfectly made and presented, everything tasted delicious and had big portions. Wonderfully decorated with lots of seating as well as private dining rooms.

    So! It's tough to give one of the most beautiful places a less than spectacular rating. BUT, for as beautiful as this place is, the food is absolutely just not worth the incredible cost it comes with. It's not. For amusement park food? Amazing.... But when a single skewer cost 4x more then Bengal BBQ's and somehow taste old and under seasoned, you are clearly just paying for ambiance and "the experience." If you have the money to blow, sure go ahead and go, but I promise you that if you are any type of foodie, this isn't going to wow you.

    We've eaten at Carthay Circle Restaurant twice now while visiting Disney California Adventure, most recently on 2025 NYE. Both times we left full and very happy. The restaurant itself has a vibe as if you're entering another time, with beautiful decor both upstairs and downstairs. The sweet potato Parker House rolls are always a great start and I highly recommend you save room for two desserts. The staff is always very attentive and friendly, the menu has a lot of variety, and the drinks do not disappoint. Pros: Delicious sit down food within the park and a good way to take a break from all the rides Cons: Can get very busy and making a reservation ahead of your park visit is highly recommended

    Updated. 2nd Visit 01.12.2026 Made reservations for the actual restaurant vs a walk in bar. I wanted to try this place one time as a Magic Key Holder. Was greeted and seated. While walking upstairs, the fancy ambiance was felt. The decor was really nice. Felt old school, like a 1940s place. There was a wine bouquet along with portraits on the walls displaying retro Disney. As we were greeted by our server, adult beverages were ordered. Wine and Bloody mary. Ordered main entrees. Received our Main entrees within a 15 minute time frame. Service was prompt and friendly. Fresh and Delicous! Overall no complaints. This place is nice for / Brunch dinner dates. Nice ambiance and good food. As a warning, with fancy eats this place is pricey. Be prepared to pay over $100. This place is usually booked and requires 6 months advance reservations! I recommend. Big Kudos to Lourella! Friendly and professional.

    Carthay Circle Restaurant at DCA is a beautiful spot with so much ambiance and history--definitely a classic Disney experience. We ordered a few dishes and overall enjoyed the meal. The Peruvian sashimi of hiramasa yellowtail was good, though I've had better elsewhere. The shrimp & calamari fritto miso was my favorite dish of the night--lightly battered, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The garganelli pasta with blue lump crab and basil pesto was solid as well; good flavor and a generous amount of shrimp. The pear martini was hands down one of the best I've had. Super refreshing and not overly sweet. We ended up having a late lunch by accident right before and were a bit rushed since we had to check in for the World of Color dessert party, so I feel like we couldn't fully enjoy the experience. That said, I'd definitely come back again when I'm not full and can take my time. The ambiance alone makes it worth another visit.

    Carthay Circle Restaurant Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Carthay Circle Restaurant

    Do we have to be in the park to make reservations?

    No, in fact you need to make reservations as far in advance as possible to even have a shot at snagging one.

    Do they have kid's menu?

    Yes, they do

    Are there walk ins?

    They have some availability for walk-ins, never hurts to check.

    I made reservations on my app for August 3 at 2-230pm; however Yelp indicated Carthay Circle is closed? I can't seem to find my reservation confirmation on my app or my email.

    I don't think Yelp is updated

    When can we make reservations?

    Starting 2/3/2021 at 11am

    Do you need reservations?

    You don't need reservations, as there is sometimes walk up availability, BUT, would recommend it if you can. Can also do it far in advance in the Disneyland App.

    Do they have TVs to watch the NBA finals?

    No TV's in the lounge or restaurant.

    Do we have to order entrees or can we just order the introduction dishes for a sit down dinner?

    Yes, there's a bar area downstairs that is walk in only and you can get appetizers and awesome drinks. Highly recommend it!

    Do you need to have a pass to eat there ? I had a friend that told me you didn't that they gave you a special pass and someone from the park would walk you there if you had reservations. I don't know if that's true ....

    You need to have a paid ticket to get in.

    Does anyone know if the tour is at 10:30am each day? Most reviews are quoting this time... And does it usually take about 30 minutes?

    The tour runs daily at 10:30am and it averages about 15 minutes.

    Can I find out what's being served in March? Heard the menu changes every season?

    The Menu Doesn't Change A lot Maybe A Few Items The Best Way To View The Menu Is Use The Disneyland Website And Select Dining Then Carthay Circle Restaurant, Disneyland Resort Keeps The Menu 100% Up To Date, Hope That Gets You In The Right Direction

    Do you need to enter the theme park to dine here?

    Yes you do. Unfortunately it's exclusive to people with a California Adventures Theme Park ticket.

    Can I watch world of color while eating dinner here?

    Short answer- No. However, dining here does provide an option for World of Color Fast passes when you order from the special menu.

We truly honestly regret selecting this restaurant to host such "intimate" dinner to say the least. The "' private rooms " aren't even private ... we were sat infront of a big party which I think they were hosting a mad hatter event at the time and they kept the curtains wide open for many passing customers to pry at us and it was a very uncomfortable ( found out that the bathrooms are right next door at that ) experience . I was under the impression that the word private ment curtains will be closed private . I'm not sure if it's because the party was " too small " to even treat it as a courtesy event but omg ? Ambiance was not fit for us & There's truly no excuse for it . We even requested to have curtains closed but he just undid the rope ever so slightly still having us in full display . We had this server which I unfortunately didn't get her name all I could remember was her high slicked bun and her loud practically screaming voice . It was all our first time here so we were looking at the menu to figure out what we'd like to order but this lady kept rushing us not allowing the table to coordinate our orders for a smooth process I mean it's 10 of us. So that was just a mess to order. We all put in our orders for drinks first to allow us to look at the menu since she kept being pushy like she didn't even get 2 of our guests drink order in either ?? So we had to wait until she came back which took a very long time .... Once some drinks came back to us one of the servers SPILLED some the of the drink on one of our guests dress ! And all over the table . It's truly so embarrassing to experience this in general as a person and a customer let alone someone that is celebrating a special event. The food and drink were decent but I truthfully think the experience overshadowed the actual enjoyment of the food and drinks. Once we had our food the waitress popped in at very long sparse times to yell out if we were okay in the middle of our dinner which honestly most of us grew irritated by it because there's absolutely no need to scream at us while we are eating ....our guest honestly felt uncomfortable to order because there was already that drink mishap and just the poor service overall . There was a point where a server came in to set down the food and practically tossed it on the table& made a comment about the amount of food one of our guest had ordered ? Like are we missing proper serving etiquette at this point ? If I could have a do over I wouldn't select this place for events like that . Maybe a casual dinner but if that was the case maybe I should've just opt for chilis for better service honestly because this wasn't it . We had brought a small cake to cut and she would come in at times just to yell out " cmon now everyone it's a celebration " like please read the room. If you're like me trying to host a small dinner for a special celebration don't do it here. If the automated gratuity wasn't in place I don't even think a tip was worth it.

Parking: I had no problem finding parking spot as the lot is huge and shared with many other businesses. Interior: We were seated right away without any wait time as we arrived when they just opened. We were seated in a dark area of the restaurant (think bar vibe) so I was a little not sure at first. Most brunch places I went to were always filled with sunlight and bright colorful interiors. This place embraced a classic, quiet feel, something like a Steak House would have. Service: Our server's name was Susan I believe, who was nice and attentive through the whole meal, despite the crowd slowly built up and filled the restaurant. She never failed to check back on us, not just once but twice and refilled our water. She probably isn't as familiar with the brunch menu favorites but seem to know more about the Main menu. The General Manager came out and greeted us because most of their customers are regulars and it's uncommon to have first timers like us visiting. This nice hospitality made us feel very warmly welcomed and impressed. Food: I couldn't decide whether to go with the Slow braised beef on the brunch menu (braised beef benedict) or the main menu but ended up going with the Main menu to get a good portion size. It was a perfect choice because the beef is just amazing. It was cooked to a soft perfection, well seasoned, the roasted vegetable was also cooked just right and not super raw/ crunchy like other places. Then the star of the show arrived - the butter cake. As Susan suggested, this is their most popular dessert and I can see why. The butter cake comes piping hot with the ice cream on top. There's a nice sugar crunchy feel near the bottom of the cake. It's so delicious that I want to come back just to eat this cake. We had a great time overall and would love to come back.

My Delmonico, which is normally super juicy and tender, came out closer to medium instead of medium rare and was also a touch cold. That said, The Ranch is still one of my favorite spots in OC.

    Lovely atmosphere and bites. Service was pleasant. Food was unique and tasty. Have been back…read moreseveral times.

    Cute, ambiguous corner, with greenery and peaceful vibes. Very much enjoyed the nature aspect of…read morethe interior design and it made a great photo opportunity for me and my friend. Service went well, checked in here and there, made sure we got our order. We tried three dishes and two drinks LAVENDER HAZE (Mocktail Version) - 3/5, very pretty, but tastes a bit watered down. Someone try the alcoholic version and let me know what it's like haha. BENCHMARK BLOODY MARY: 5/5 my friend liked it and it was spicy! ENCHILIDA SUIZAS, lobster + shrimp filling, corn, poblano cream sauce, pickled red onion, cilantro, queso fresco, I give 5/5, I enjoyed the combination of the sauce and enchiladas, it wasn't overcooked and had a great refreshing savory flavor. Plated very nicely, visually appealing. BULGOGI KIMCHI FRIED RICE, fried eggs, gochujang, green onion furikake, pickled radish, cilantro, I give 4/5, overall I enjoyed this plate, but I do feel the beef could have been slightly stronger in terms of flavor? The rice was holding all the spices and taste. DULCE DE LECHE FRENCH TOAST, crème fraîche chantilly, brûléed banana, chocolate sauce, maldon salt, I would give 5/5, presentation was beautiful, taste wise I really enjoyed it, had a very good balance of sweetness and not too strong. I know my ratings are less than a 5 in general, but I really felt the whole experience was pleasant, enjoyable, good food and good vibes, therefore 5 out of 5

    Natalie is the BEST!!! We have always by-passed this place during our bike ride but will no longer…read morebe doing that. We decided to check it out today and really enjoyed the friendly,warm service. Nat (lol) was so helpful and sweet she made our first time at this brewery a GREAT experience and we look forward to coming back. The happy hour food and drinks specials are excellent. Karlitos mexican lager with tajin rim was my final choice of drink but i loved how we were offered tastings to make our choice easy and fun! Great place overall, we will be back very soon

    We were craving to come here and enjoy their beers and food. We had no idea that the Monster truck…read moreevent was taking place. They were charging for parking so we paid $30 plus processing fee. Kevin the manager couldn't care less that we were here as customers not for the monster truck thing so they didn't give us a table and we had to sit at the bar. He initially said that there was a 30 min wait even though we could see empty tales. We had already paid so we had to stay to get the $30 discount on your bill when spending $30. He was not willing to refund since they were not technically the ones charging you. Once we sat at the bar, the bartender was nice and made us feel comfortable so we could enjoy our night. The place was crowded with families with kids, adults just overindulging and being very loud. The moment the event started time got closer, all of this crowd started leaving which allowed us to really enjoy our night. The food was great as always. The poke nachos are really tasty with a good balance of fish and nachos. The fish and chips is one of our go to dishes they are always perfectly cooked. We have noticed that shrinkflation has happened throughout the years, but after enjoying a few beers you don't notice anymore. This was the first time trying their burger and it was amazing! The patty was perfectly cooked and the flavors just worked together. We also decided to give the beeramisu a second try and we enjoyed it. It is a creative and unique twist to your traditional tiramisu. Since it had been a while, we didn't even know that they have a club now. We gladly join and got the poke nachos as a welcome gift. Overall the experience started on a bad note but we left happy after good food, service and drinks. Also, Kevin came by after the mess to check on us and apologize for the inconvenience. Make sure you check the angel stadium for event before you come, they will be busy.
