Dinner on 5/9/2026. My sister and I had the tuna crudo, short ribs and pork chops for dinner and we felt stuffed and unable to finish the pork chops because that was the saltiest out of the bunch. Tuna crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend! Short ribs was interesting and tasted like it was an experiment. The flavors felt like it would've been better on a steak instead. Pork chops was just ok and tasted salty. It's good to enjoy the ambiance as it has you forget about the amusement park environment. Service is a hit or miss depending on how busy they get. The beginning was good as my server checked on us but after the food came out it's like the server was too busy to check on us. read more

Exceptional experience from the staff and food. Everything was so delicious. We were sat near the kitchen and watching the sous chef take charge was fun to watch. My only complaint is the way the system is setup. Why bother with a mobile check-in, if we also HAVE to check-in in-person AND still had a 10minute wait after our reservation time. It was such an obnoxious process for no reason. And they really pack the restaurant, so no matter how quick and great the cooks are, you will be waiting. The atmosphere was worth it, but that doesn't help the check-in portion. read more

Carthay Circle Restaurant - Signature Thick-Cut Cider Pork Chop* - New American Near Me - Anaheim, California

I've been here twice. The first time we came, we sat inside at the bar and the ambiance is old school, regal, dark, and cozy. Perfect place to unwind after a long day at California Adventure. This time around, we had patio seating at one of the high tops, and it's a great place to see the characters walk by. We waived hi to Mickey, Chip, Dale and other characters several times as they passed by. Their food is good, but the standout things for me would be their cocktails. I've had their espresso martini and double pair martini, and both are 10/10. Our server was great. She checked on us regularly, and even though we stayed for a while, she made sure our glasses were always filled. 10/10 on service as well. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

One of my favorite places to sit and grab a bite to eat and have a cocktail. There is plenty of seating inside and outside (great for people watching). The drink variety is great (vodka martini with blue cheese stuffed olives and the awesome ice sphere is one of my favorites). The food for me is hot and miss. I do wish they would bring their cheese/charcuterie board back. Everything must change though which isn't always a bad thing. My son enjoys the pasta dishes a lot. The menu rotates per season usually. Prices are around the same as the surrounding restaurants in the area. Overall enjoyable and the staff is always on point. I love sitting at the bar and watching the bartenders do their magic. read more

Such a solid dinner spot inside Disneyland if you want something elevated without feeling stuffy. The ambiance is classic, warm, and very "old Hollywood," which makes it feel like a true sit-down escape from the park chaos. I had the Tequila Daisy and it was perfect light, delicate, not overly sweet, and super refreshing! One of those cocktails you finish way too fast because it's well balanced. Huge appreciation for how thoughtful they are with food intolerances. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole process seamless without making it feel complicated. I felt genuinely taken care of Food-wise, everything hit: - Roasted winter mushroom & gnocchi. It was cozy, flavorful, and comforting without being heavy - Roasted Brussels sprouts - crispy, well seasoned, and addictive (I could have eaten 10 plates of this) - Sustainable fish cioppino - fresh, rich, and deeply satisfying! My partner and I loved the dish more than we even thought we would! Honestly loved everything we ordered. The food felt refined, intentional, and actually worth sitting down for which isn't always the case inside a theme park. If you're looking for a dinner that feels special while still being inside Disneyland, Carthay Circle is absolutely the move. Highly recommend booking ahead and taking your time here. read more

This place was surprisingly good!! The price point eas decent and they had great cocktails! We ordered salmon, chicken curry, penne pasta and the beef skewers. Only thing is I wished the food came out hotter, we had to send a dish back bc it was cold. Other than that, I'd be back to try other items on the menu and for the cocktail menu. We sat outside in the patio area and got to see the parade as they walked by. read more

Carthay Circle Restaurant at Disney California Adventure is one of those places I really want to love more than I actually do. The setting is beautiful and it definitely feels elegant for a theme park restaurant. The food is good, but for me it never quite reaches the level that matches the price tag. I understand that higher prices come with dining inside the park, but most of the menu items just are not compelling enough for me to justify regular visits. It's nice for a special occasion or a slower park day, but it's not somewhere I personally feel drawn back to very often. read more

Another great experience, and we were able to request Holly be our server again. Lovely, personable, attentive. Sat upstairs, so beautiful, with a prix fixe menu. Drinks were delicious and light. The butternut squash soup was not as creamy as I am accustomed to, plus I wasn't expecting the chicken. Guess I didn't read the description, but the blintz my daughter had was fantastic ( see menu in photo). I had the braised short rib pasta which was excellent, as was my husband's chicken schnitzel . No room for dessert: beautiful macarons, got them to go. Outstanding ancillary wait staff, expected and appreciated as a Disney fan. Definitely my favorite place in DCA. read more

Wow! Took me by surprise! Wasn't expecting this type of quality of food at an amusement park! To start off service was excellent (given this restaurant is at CA Adventure Park).

Located inside Disney California Adventure, where there is a restaurant seating and a lounge. I visited the restaurant this time as it was my first stop before I got moving about the park. From the greeting to the goodbye, everything was top tier! It was my first time visiting and it wont be the last for sure. I also want to try out the lounge area. The aesthetic gave me Lawry's Beverly Hills vibes inside. I was amazed! Sadly I forgot to take a picture of the braised short rib raviolis but it was amazing just like the salad and dessert. read more

This is your high-end restaurant without the business casual located in Disney California Adventure. I see many visitors on here not able to be seated at a table upstairs. A hint on getting a table at the top floor with the gorgeous interior, is to reserve early. Through the app, reservations are opened 60 days ahead. There are two different reservations, you have to choose Carthay Circle Restaurant and not Carthay Circle Lounge. The earlier you reserve, the more time slots to choose from. I would recommend planning 30 days ahead, the earlier the better. Reservation does get fully booked as the days get closer. The server was very informative and tentative. The food and drinks were delicious. Everything was great. Experience was wonderful. Great atmosphere for dining after a long day in the parks. read more

Ambiance This is a reproduction of a famous restaurant which hosted Disney premiers during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Hosted Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs December 21, 1937. The architecture is phenomenal and this place is majestic. Got seated on the patio. Service Scott was great. I wanted a unique cocktail and he recommended the Tequila Daisy and for dinner the Pork Chop. We had reservation, hostess could not find it however we were seated anyway. Rate 5 Rose Pedal Soda Refreshing sparkling soda has a sugar coated rose peddle. Tequila Daisy Cointreau, creme de violette liqueur, egg white served up, coated rose pedal, spirit forward. All I can say is wow. Rate 5 Peruvian Sashimi of Haramsama Yellowtail I love sushi with yellowtail so I thought I would try this. Has leche de tigre, j-cama, and crispy cancha. Lots of flavors and textures I liked it alot. Rate 5 Plating was a work of art. Hangar Streak This was disappointing. It was not hot, a little tough, over cooked ordered medium rare. My wife stated 'yuck, dry and gamey'. Don't order this. Waiter did try to steer us away from it. The corn chowder and blueberry poblano salsa very good. I would have ordered seafood pasta but don't care for basil pesto and the option for a different sauce was not available. Rate 2 Pork Chop This was thick, so moist and tender. Had glazed peaches on top. Delicious. Sauteed zucchini. This was probably one of the best pork chops I have ever had. Rate 10 Mashed Potatoes Very good, creamy and full of flavor. Rate 5 I will return but wont order the Hangar Steak, everything else was stellar. read more

This is our favorite restaurant in California Adventure. So much so, we dined there for lunch and dinner during our most recent trip. They offer only a $62 2-course Prix fixe menu for lunch. Our server was great and personable, helping us with the meal options. His recommendations were spot on! Loved the burata toast, gochujang-honey glazed shrimp, and the tri tip. Flavors were amazing! Only downside to our lunch experience was the extra long wait to get seated. We checked in with the app, and still don't get seated til 15 minutes our reserved time. The check in process seemed a bit hectic with everyone waiting around outside and staff hunting for parties. For our dinner experience, we loved all of the dishes we picked! Enjoyed the calamari, sashimi, garganelee pasta, fish of the day, and their cheddar rolls. To finish off our meal, we ordered the peach hand pie and they surprised our daughter with a special birthday touch. Their service was awesome, always topping off beverages, replacing silverware, and being courteous. The dining areas were a bit chilly though. Always love to return and see what new seasonal changes they make to their menus. read more

This is actually my favorite restaurant at Disney, I like to visit it yearly. It's such a classy restaurant with great food and the servers are always so kind. Unfortunately my last visit (April 2026) wasn't the best experience. It started off great, the hostess greeted us with love as my partner and I were celebrating our anniversary/first pregnancy. We ordered two meat dishes and mashed potatoes. We had asked about our main dishes as they were served luke warm and then they were sent back to the Chef. We were seated right next to the pass and noticed the chef use her finger (no gloves) to check the temp, my short ribs were sent back to me (just a reminder I am pregnant) and was told it was colder because of the salad on top. Fine, I had to ask the waiter TWICE which piece she touched and he hesitated to point to which one. I told him I'll pay for my dinner but won't be eating that piece. My partners dish was reheated as opposed to remade. It was quite unfortunate as I had emailed the manager and the Disney company with no response. I didn't expect Disney's standards to be so low. In all honesty if I went to a fast food restaurant I can guarantee I would get a fresh batch of food without hesitation if there was inconsistency. I'm glad to know Carthay Circle has no time to spread Disney magic. read more

I'm pretty sure I've written a review for this spot before so incase this is listed as an update then I my review will be made in the sense that I already made one. This is my 5th or 6th visit here, 2nd time officially checking in with Yelp (I think) and off the bat I have to say this spot is consistent with food quality and service. I dined at the lounge which is downstairs and outside on the patio and I have eaten in both aforementioned areas of the lounge. I must make not of the fact they have a full bar and bar seating area and have not been seated there. Infact I wanted to ask if the bar was open seating (leaning towards a no but still wanted the info, sorry) On this visit I wanted to try something I havent tried before, at least food-wise since I believe I've already conquered the drink menu... well at least the type of drinks I know I'd like. On this visit, I was seated in the main hall, just outside bar seating. Very calm and classy vibes from this establishment. Have to mention that I always feel uncomfortable inside, I don't have class and the inside is classy! I had the Jamaican Chicken Curry, in the best way possible to describe it... It reminds me A LOT of Thai Yellow Curry and I LOVE Thai Yellow Curry so this was a very good gamble on something new. read more

Carthay Circle used to feel like a Hollywood premiere. Tonight felt more like a rerun no one asked for. The steak was aggressively pedestrian -- the kind of meal that makes you wonder how something so expensive can taste so... beige. Every bite felt like a reminder that hype can't season meat. Our waitress, Serina, seemed nice when she appeared, but tracking her down felt like a side quest. Water glasses sat empty long enough to qualify as historical landmarks, and plates lingered like they were considering signing a lease. What makes it disappointing is that this place used to be great. Now it feels like it's coasting on nostalgia while charging Broadway prices for community theater results. Beautiful room. Forgettable food. Fading magic. Poor value. read more

When it comes to fine dining, this takes the cake the heirloom tomato salad those tomatoes taste fresh from the vine and I could eat just that but beyond that everything we had was delicious on a cold December night I would recommend getting the drink in the bar that's made with Tawaka instead of Irish cream.

I knew this was a 5-star restaurant as soon as I had the first bite of food because I couldn't stop smiling. Everything is absolutely AMAZING! Anything I marked with an asterisk below is extremely memorable & something I would order again. We ordered: *Spanish Potato Croquettes: 5/5 - if you're a potato croquette lover, you will LOVE this. I could literally eat this entire appetizer by myself. *Roasted Artichoke Hearts - 5/5, did not know what to expect from somebody who only tried Deep Fried Artichokes before. So much flavor, very soft, & worth trying! - Roasted Chestnut & Apple Soup: 4/5, delicious with a subtle sweetness. - Roasted Brussel Sprouts: 1/5, as a Brussel sprouts lover, this did not taste as I expected (off flavor/sauce) & would not recommend *Holiday Mashed Potatoes: 10/5, love love loved this!!! Best mashed potatoes I ever had. *Signature Thick-Cut Porkchop: 5/5, probably the best porkchop I had in my life. For such a thick cut, it was soft and flavorful with the vegetables. *Roasted Korean Style Angus Prime Rib - 5/5, so worth it!!! Extremely tender and flavorful & love the touch of gochujang on it. *Warm Sweet Potato Parker House Rolls: 5/5 - Absolutely must have. Love the softness of the bread rolls and sweetness of the apricot walnut butter. Service was amazing & ambiance was cozy, but luxurious. Would definitely come back again! read more

Food: 4* Service: 5* Ambiance: 5* Enjoyed lunch here with colleagues. Unlike pre-Covid, there is inky a prix fixe menu for lunch on weekdays at $62 per person. However, you get to select an appetizer and a main course. Appetizers: I ordered the green chickpea appetizer (think falafel), it was tasty and surprisingly ample with 4 discs provided in a roasted red pepper sauce with pomegranate seeds 5*). My partner had the gazpacho, which was melon (cantaloupe) based. It wasn't orange but tasted of cantaloupe and was white-ish. He said it was good and gave it 4*. A friend ordered the prosciutto bruschetta with heirloom tomatoes. She said it was fresh and juicy but small (4*). Main course: I ordered the chicken schnitzel. It was crispy and tasty, well seasoned and ample with two large flat chicken breasts it was filling (5*). My partner had the Santa Maria marinades trip-tip. I had a piece and it was pretty well seasoned, a good temperature, but was a very small portion (4 small end pieces). He and I would give it 4*. Another friend ordered the shrimp with gochujong and friend rice. They provided 4 lathe tail on jumbo shrimp and it was tasty. She gave it 5*. I tasted it and I agree. Dessert: the only option was a Mickey ice cream 'pop'. It was fantastic. It tasted like a Ferrero Roche candy (minus the chocolate) over a vanilla ice cream scoop. As one would imagine, it was delectable. 5* read more

Good food in a very cool space. The menu has a decent selection, and while it's quite pricey compared to what you're getting, it's expected when you consider the Disney premium. We shared the potato croquettes, two entrees, and sides of mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts between three of us. We weren't that hungry after snacking in the park all day, and our server told us that the entrees were very large portions so it would be enough. While the pork chop was pretty huge (and really good, and I don't usually like pork chops), the fish was very small, so the entree sizes seemed pretty inconsistent. However, everything tasted very good, and the mashed potatoes were a sleeper hit. I would come back just for those! In addition to serving fancy Disney food, Carthay Circle is designed after a famous movie theater (or something of that sort, tbh I wasn't paying great attention). The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the building and its history, making dining here a full Disney experience. Overall, this is a good choice if you're looking for a nicer meal within the park. read more

Was lucky to be able to snag a reservation on the same day! Didn't know what to expect coming into this but we've been meaning to try all of the restaurants in Disneyland. Dare I say, it's better than Blue Bayou. We got the Fritto Misto and Warm Cheddar Park House Rolls to start. Both had great flavor and were addicting to eat! We also got the Half Chicken Shawarma and Paelle for our entrees. Both proteins were cooked to perfect and had incredible flavor! To finish our meal, we got this dark chocolate custard flan with warm bananas on top. The best way to end of meal! If you like history of Disney and old Hollywood decor, this place is for you! They have plenty of photos of Walt and other iconic celebs and figures surrounding the walls. And the most gorgeous mural on the ceiling when you enter! read more

First time dining at Carthay Restaurant and it was such a lovely experience. I accidentally booked a reservation for the lounge, but the team was gracious and able to accommodate me in the main dining room, which I really appreciated. I started with the Double Pear Martini, refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced. For my entrée, I ordered the sustainable fish cioppino, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The interior gives classic 1950s Hollywood glamour vibes, elegant, nostalgic, and perfect for a special evening out. Aya was my server and she was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything flowed seamlessly throughout the meal. The only small negative is that they don't offer mints after dinner, especially after a seafood dish, that would've been a nice finishing touch. Overall, a wonderful first visit and I'd definitely return. read more
