Went for a fun weekend and in all my years of Disney, I've never been here before, but have always heard about their amazing lobster nachos. Friday night we tried the lounge, Saturday afternoon we tried the boardwalk lounge. For the lounge itself, we checked in and were seated promptly at the bar. It was a hot day and we had a more special occasion so we asked to move from the bar to a table. They were super quick and friendly to accommodate us, despite showing small annoyance at us for the request. We were sat at a two seater. The breeze was much nicer and the seats were so comfortable! We were given ample time to mull over the menu, the server was patient with questions and gave amazing suggestions. We opted for the blooming onion, the Thai seafood pasta, and the rosemary chicken with veggies and whipped potatoes. The blooming onion and pasta were amazing! The chicken and veggies would have been a lot more flavorful had it been seasone and I had to ask for salt and pepper. We tried the dole whip shot, the sarcasm-chasm, and one other that I cannot remember the name. On Saturday, we wanted to try the lobster nachos so we did the walk up waitlist. The time said it would be an hour wait; which felt really long but we took it and were pleasantly surprised were called within 15 minutes. The text alert told me I had to be back at the location in 10 minutes. Luckily we were nearby. That seemed a bit harsh considering there's a lot one could do while waiting for an hour though, so I always recommend making a reservation if you can and just planning your day. We were sat at the bar outside on the boardwalk and the breeze was great where we were sitting. It felt like air conditioning. We ordered the lobster nachos and a few drinks. The bartenders were the best part of this experience. Super nice, answered all our questions, and one even noted that I liked cold brew and offered to make me a drink they used to have but didn't have on the menu anymore. I tried it and it was so delicious! Overall, I loved both experiences but I have to say I loved the boardwalk more. The vibe was amazing and it felt super casual and fun. I highly recommend this place for a great spot to rest your feet, get out of the direct sunlight, and try some great food and drinks. read more

My second time coming to Lamplight Lounge and another great dining experience. Make reservations ahead of time! My group was seated at a table right next to the water with a lovely view of the pier. We shared all of the dishes to try a bit of everything. Also ordered their special mock tails including the 2319 which was okay, I didn't like how there were icy chunks in it. The goofball and mint to be drinks were yummy though. Aguachile Verde (4/5): 7 slices of fresh hamachi in a refreshing lime bath topped with avocado, cucumber, and some micro greens. Pretty tasty app. Pork Belly Baos (5/5): One of my fav dishes we had. Each order comes with 3 baos and the pork belly inside is cooked deliciously and every bite is flavorful. Get these! Chef Special Al Pastor (5/5): 2 years later and this is always the chef"s special lol, they should just make it a standard menu item atp. It is delicious and probably my fav menu item here. The polenta paired with the savory sauces is incredibly good. Blooming Onion (2/5): Veey disappointed in this one. The presentation is beautiful but the concept fell short. I've had this dish at other restaurants and you can easily just pick a piece of with your hands. This one we had to cut into and it was messy. The onion was too wet or something. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and would recommend for a nice lunch or dinner to splurge on. I do wish their food menu was more extensive or if they switched up some of the items. read more

Lamplight Lounge is always a must-visit whenever we're at Disney California Adventure. The location can't be beat, with beautiful views of Pixar Pier, and if you time it right, you even get an incredible view of World of Color while you dine. The service was excellent from beginning to end--friendly, attentive, and never rushed, which made the experience even better. For drinks, the Old Fashioned was smooth, well-balanced, and perfectly crafted. The chef's special pork chop was cooked beautifully, tender, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The cheddar burger was another great choice--juicy, satisfying, and packed with flavor. Between the food, cocktails, outstanding service, and unbeatable waterfront atmosphere, Lamplight Lounge continues to be one of the best dining experiences inside Disney California Adventure. Definitely worth making a reservation whenever you visit. read more

Made our dining reservations thru the app. Checked in about 10 minutes before reservation time. Got a text when my table was ready. So easy! Seated promptly and had an excellent view! The beer battered onion blossom was phenomenal! We were thinking it was going to be like the blooming onion from outback but this one took it up a notch! This thing was massive and nice and crunchy. The sauces paired perfectly as well! Definitely enough for the 3 of us to share and we couldn't finish it all. My go to entree is the al pastor pork chop and I substituted French fries instead of getting the cheese polenta (which is also very tasty!). Fries were nice and crispy and the pork chop never lets me down. So juicy and tender! I hope they never take this off the menu! read more

The lamplight lounge is a sought after, iconic focal point of Pixar Pier. Split into the lower deck reservation only lounge and upper, walk-in/waitlist friendly boardwalk dining, the views of the bay, the Ferris wheel, and Incredicoaster are my favorite in the park. I recommend table seating over the bar, as the bar will have your back to these views. We have been three times now, and after having tried both the barbacoa and the lobster nachos, I'd recommend the former over the latter. The lobster serving was skimpy on our last visit. The drinks are STRONG. The strongest I've ever had in the park, and one will render me unable to ride Incredicoaster for hours afterward. Drink carefully, my friends! Sometimes service is prompt and other times it takes awhile to flag a server or bartender, it just depends. read more

One if my bestie and my fav place on the DCA side. Huge portions we often order two meals and split both and a drink each. Prices are reasonable especially for the quality and quantity, love the pond view while eating, we've enjoyed at the bar twice (you get constant service there). Photos are from 4 separate trips this is our 7th time in two years. read more

Ok so this time I have to reduce the rating a bit. So we did lamplight boardwalk a couple times. And the lobster nachos portion was not the same. Also we did the beef nachos and it was better than last time but we had to return it once because the chips were essentially burned. Korean wings 3/5 Came with 6 wings and some cucumber kimchi. Taste was ok. Sauce was good. The coating is a little different. It's not what I expected Korean wings to be like. But not bad. For the price really expensive tho. We also tried Brunch at lamplight downstairs and it was to me better than dinner. Chilaquiles 3.5/5 Taste was good. The server was right that they need to add some more protein to this dish. Breakfast burger 4/5 Burger was great Potato was really good with seasoning. The point taken out for the burger bun. Not sure why Disney buns are so crumbly. Overall I would give it a 3.5/5 read more

Lamplight Lounge is a wonderful space to have some creative cocktails and enjoy the view from Disney's Pixar Pier. This lounge is located in Disney California Adventure right against the pier. You can see as you go on the San Fransokyo bridge away from Ariel's Grotto. I made reservations for Lamplight Lounge at 6:00 AM. and only the morning was available with one spot left for the evening. Reservations fill up very quickly here so I'd suggest booking as soon as you can. We were seated at the circular bar with our sides towards the fun wheel. They have lots of cocktails on their menu and some secret ones, too. Being an old school Disney goer, I asked for their Mickey's Fun Wheel, which is not on the menu. I don't recall which alcohol it has, but it's aesthetically pleasing and beautiful to look at. We decided to try their fried cauliflower, which was advertised for vegans. We also tried their fish tacos. The food came out quickly and we were quite impressed with their cauliflower; it had pickled cucumbers as a side and their cauliflower was tossed in a soy sauce, spicy marinade. Their fish tacos were quite long and had a mild kick to it, too. It was quite dry. I love to their gimmicks and designs. Disney does a fantastic job at creating a wonderful ambiance. Food was subpar and so were the drinks. The cast members were sweet and kept checking on us. We did take home their coasters since it had character drawings on them. Quite a great stop if you've never been here before. You can also ask the front desk if you can come in to get a cocktail to go. I'd recommend this place for a great pier experience. read more

Went in for brunch! Got the steak and eggs Probably one of the best steak and eggs I've had in a while. A lot of breakfast joints won't use a thick or a heavy cut as this but it was so worth! Asked for medium rare and it was perfectly cooked! The whole dish was excellent! Would order again! I got the cinnamon toast cocktail and open ocean with a splash! The cereal cocktail I wished there was more cereal and less ice but over the drink was very yummy The blended cocktail was sooo good like a rocket pop slushie! I loved that we had a nice view and the staff was very friendly read more

The food here is amazing. That is the simplest way I can describe it. My girlfriend and I were seated outside at the bar, which made for a really enjoyable dining experience. While the menu itself is on the smaller side, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Little Gem Salmon Salad and asking about the chef's special. During our visit, the special was roasted chicken served over mashed potatoes, and it completely exceeded expectations. The salmon was incredibly delicious and practically melted in our mouths. I am usually not a huge fan of mashed potatoes, but pairing them with the roasted chicken completely changed my mind it was so good that it made me want to lick the plate clean. We also ordered two drinks: the Hero Work and the Find Your Spark. I personally ordered two Hero Works because I enjoyed it that much, it reminded me of grape Kool-Aid. The Find Your Spark tasted like raspberry soda. You can still taste and feel the alcohol in both drinks, but they go down so smoothly that it almost feels like drinking juice, which can be dangerous in the best way. This is definitely a place I will come back to, and honestly, I would probably order the exact same things every time I am in the area. read more

Have not been back since 2024. Got to say, the food is pretty good here. Service was exceptional. Big Kudos to Jeremy! Nothing has changed from my last review. Nice ambiance and nice setting at the California Disneyland roller coaster area. Keep in mind, food quantity is small and expensive. But you should already know that since you are at Mouseland. I recommend reservations here. It has good energy, good service and good food! Kudos read more

My family and I came to Lamplight Lounge for Saturday brunch and had an incredible time! I had the chiliquilles, which was very delicious (9 out of 10) but probably could have used some sour cream to balance the heat. I also had the seasonal donuts which were the best donuts of my life (10 out of 10); they were cinnamon roll flavored with crushed pecans. To drink, I enjoyed the mimosa flight (8 out of 10). The flavors were peach, watermelon, ginger, and grapefruit. The grapefruit mimosa was the worst -- tasted a bit bland and artificial. But the watermelon mimosa and peach mimosa were full of fresh flavor and quite delicious. The ginger mimosa was great too but definitely had a kick to it with the spice. We were seated at a bar top facing the Incredicoaster. For our family, it was perfect since it is my son's favorite ride and he had a blast watching the coast keep launching. But if you are someone who doesn't enjoy loud noises during a meal, the constant screaming from the coaster may be much for you. They do offer seats inside and closer to the main water that would probably be less noisy. Highly recommend! This was my first time for brunch but I've been for dinner as well, and always have had a great dining experience. read more

We were walking around Pixar Pier near sunset hour and suddenly started craving drinks, so we stopped by Lamplight Lounge to see if we could get lucky without a reservation. Thankfully, one of the cast members near the patio bar helped us get in for quick to-go drinks. The view during sunset was honestly beautiful. Between the roller coaster, ferris wheel, and California's clear sky, the whole atmosphere felt super relaxing and scenic. If I ever come back for an actual dinner reservation, I'm definitely asking for patio seating outside. The bartender was friendly and helpful. We ordered the Find Your Spark and Red is a Lucky Color. At first I asked if they could add an extra shot, and the bartender was totally willing to do it... until he came back a few minutes later and told me it would be an extra $17. Suddenly I discovered moderation. The drinks came out pretty quickly, around 5 minutes, and visually they were gorgeous--definitely very Instagram-worthy with the DCA background. Taste-wise though, both drinks were VERY sweet. Like borderline syrup-level sweet for me personally. That being said, the alcohol content was definitely there because I did feel a little tipsy afterward lol. Overall, the drinks themselves were just okay for me, but the atmosphere and views really made the experience worth it. read more

We snagged some last minute reservations for Lamp Light Lounge (downstairs). Completely different menu than the former "Ariel's Grotto". We ordered a few IPAs, pork bao buns, potato skins, and brussels sprouts. We enjoyed the food especially the potato skins. Definitely on the pricier side for entrees ($25-$35). Appetizers around ($18-25). They have a fun menu of themed cocktails. For our party of 2, we were seated on the bar chairs by the shared firepit counter. I was hoping to get seated by ourselves but we were elbow to elbow with different parties on that shared space. I felt like that took away from the dining experience. But we loved our server that day. Forgot her name but she made up for us sharing tables with a lot of people. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with my first time dining at the Lamplight Lounge. At first glance, I wasn't too impressed by the selections offered on the menu, but I was curious to try it out anyway. You truly can't beat the view of the beautiful California Adventure waterfront & boardwalk. It felt like having dinner with a show. Our service was just fine, our waitress wasn't too enthused but she was efficient which is always appreciated. The cocktails were fun, festive & refreshing! They were themed after certain Disney/Pixar references as well as correlation to the park itself which I thought was really fun. I ordered the Impossible Burger, it was absolutely delicious. The patty itself had a charred taste to it which you don't get often from plant based patties! The house sauce on the burgers was sweet & slightly spicy. The fries were perfectly seasoned & crunchy! The Charbroiled Cheddar burger was jam packed with toppings & sauce. A truly perfect bite paired with their delicious fries. The Lemon Rosemary Chicken was juicy & well seasoned. The mashed potatoes were buttery & delicious. Veggies were cooked to perfection. My family & I had the best experience visiting Lamplight Lounge & I highly recommend it not only for a unique dining experience but for some delicious food! I hope to come back & try the brunch specials soon! read more

3.5 stars, rounded up. Things didn't go smoothly with miscommunication between front and back of house, but they at least took the dish off the bill... and the dish when prepared properly was actually really good. Let me start at the beginning... the table got potato skins as an appetizer. It was delicious and I'm wondering why this restaurant has 3.7 stars. There's comfortable seating with a great view. So far so good. For entrees, everything else on the menu looked too similar to meals we've had up to this point both at and around Disneyland so I decide to get the Thai Seafood Pasta. I've had some spice sensitivity lately due to health reasons, so I ask about the spice level and also if there's a way to make it not spicy. I point out that I understand a lot of preparations can't adjust spiciness at many places. The server told me it could be done. Great. The dish came and the seafood tasted great but the pasta tasted bland. Like plain noodles. I flag down the server to let her know that my pasta had no flavor, and I thought I was asking for less spice, not no sauce. She said she understood and that wasn't what she had conveyed to the back of house. She went to the kitchen then came back with a bowl of sauce and my original plate, and said that the kitchen suggested that I pour the sauce over the noodles to accommodate my spice levels. I said OK. I spooned the sauce over the noodles. It wasn't great but it had flavor. Someone else in our group hadn't gotten their order of the same dish (no spice adjustments) yet; then later, theirs came and I noticed it looked different from sauce. I tried it and it was delicious, and within my spice tolerance. I could taste coconut milk in the sauce. Made sense, it's a Thai curry. I flag the server down again and pointed all this out. She went back to the kitchen again. She came back out and said yes, the bowl of sauce they gave me had no coconut milk because they didn't cook it. At this point, we had a time to catch the Incredicoaster, the rest of my group was done, and I was over it. I asked if they could take it off our bill so we could move on with our lives. They did. Between that whole thing, and bumpy service upon arrival (took forever to get waters, then drinks, then just plates for our appetizers), I see why this place didn't rank higher even though the food was good. Leave a time buffer for service issues. Anyway... went on Incredicoaster twice after and honestly that redeemed the evening. read more

Lamplight Lounge - Boardwalk Dining is a place I've walked past so many times at Disneyland without realizing it was actually a restaurant. I've always been curious about it, and after seeing it on TikTok, my cousins and I finally decided to make a reservation and try it out. Everything went really smoothly. After checking in, we were seated in about 10 minutes and got an amazing view of the Ferris wheel and the Incredicoaster, which made the whole experience feel even more special. Our server was super nice and helpful. I asked if they could make one of the drinks as a mocktail, and he took the time to walk me through the options and help me choose something that would work well without alcohol. I ended up getting the Virgin Sea Monster Smash, and it was so good. It reminded me of a blueberry version of Mint to Be, which I personally liked way more since I'm not really a fan of watermelon flavors. I also tried the 2319, which tasted like a strawberry piña colada, and the flavor combination was really refreshing and well balanced. We were recommended the beer-battered fish tacos, and I'm so glad we listened because they were amazing. The fish was crispy on the outside and tender inside, paired with corn tortillas, creamy avocado sauce, a bit of chipotle sauce for a slight kick, and fresh toppings like cabbage, pico de gallo, radishes, and micro cilantro. The squeeze of lime tied everything together and made each bite really fresh and flavorful. Since I already love fish tacos, this completely exceeded my expectations, and everyone at the table loved them. I'm really glad we finally tried this place after being curious about it for so long. Between the view, the service, and the food, it made for such a great experience. I'd definitely come back again, especially for the fish tacos and to try more from the menu. read more

A nice escape from the crowded California Adventure walkway! With a view on the water, you can enjoy a meal or sip on house crafted drink from the front row seats of the water show. I came during the food and wine festival at Disneyland and tried the featured pistachio donuts which are a must order for Dubai chocolate lovers. Another favorite of mine are the pork belly buns with the pillowy bread mellowing out the spice and pickled onions and with a satisfying crunchy topping to balance the softer textural elements of the bun and tender pork belly. read more

I have eaten a couple times at Lamplight. It's always such a great escape from the chaos of California Adventures. This time I got the onion blossom and it was fantastic!! The onion is so tender and very lightly breaded with some spicy aioli sauce drizzled on top. It was the perfect app to pair with a refreshing drink on a warmer spring day Our server was very attentive and we did not feel that we were waiting around long for our drinks or food. Water was always refilled and paid attention to. The lounge is very cozy and the patio area is open and airy. Whether you feel like beating the heat inside or getting some fresh air and an escape from crowds, this is a perfect spot to grab some food and drinks and unwind. read more

Lamplight Lounge - Beer-battered Onion Blossom - New American Near Me - Anaheim, California

Lamplight Lounge redeemed itself after our recent dining experience. We made a reservation for lunch through the Disneyland app. We were seated promptly at 2:50pm at a lovely table on the waterfront with a view of the Pixar Pal-A-Round.Our server was Alex. She was very charming, bright, and super on top of everything. It felt like Alex and the other staff went the extra mile to make our experience magical. For cocktails, I am usually a "Fun Wheel" guy. The Fun Wheel is a drink from the Lamplight Lounge secret menu. It features a bright, pastel, summery gradient of layered colors. The drink is very pretty as well as sweet, fruity, and tropical. This visit, I decided to step outside my comfort zone and order something new. Alex recommended the "Over Budget," which is a passionfruit Moscow mule. It was a great recommendation. The passionfruit added a fun, summery twist on the Moscow mule, adding sweetness and tang to a crisp, refreshing drink. We started with the onion blossom as our appetizer. It was very good. The batter was very crispy, and the onion was seasoned beautifully with just the right amount of spice. One of the runners (I think his name was Jason?), also grabbed us some ranch and ketchup without us having to ask!The entree section of the lunch menu seemed to have gone under a couple changes since my last visit. Notably absent were the lobster nachos, which are now exclusive to upstairs (sigh). Also gone is the P.L.T., which was a salmon burger which I surprisingly enjoyed while it exists. In their place, our party ordered the Thai seafood pasta and the charbroiled cheddar burger. The Thai seafood pasta was really good with a delicious spicy and sour broth. However, I was a little let down by the burger as it was not as juicy as I would have liked.However, I'm willing to overlook the one lackluster entree as the rest of our dining experience was very nice. I loved the ambiance of sitting at the waterside with our view of Pixar Pier. The drinks and appetizers were stunning. And the service was impeccable. I am already eagerly anticipating my next visit to Lamplight Lounge. read more

Generally speaking, I'm more and more impressed with dining options at California Adventure. They seem to be chef-driven with seasonal menus...very California authentic. We'd already had dinner and just wanted to try the Chocolate Pistachio Donuts at Lamplight. The wait wasn't great...we checked in on the app and were given a 15 minute estimate. In reality we weren't called in for 45 minutes. We expect to wait at any Disney experience...it's part of the deal...but if they tell you 15 and then it turns into 45...something isn't quite right in Anaheim. Once we were in, we realized there were bar seats which we could have taken without waiting. it would have been amazing, especially since we had told the hosts we were just there for donuts, if they had informed us of this option. It looks like there's a well stocked full bar which is cool. If we were eating a full menu I was happy to see a handful of vegetarian options (including an Impossible Burger). We had come for the Chocolate Pistachio donuts and that's all we ordered. They were certainly gorgeous. We are always appreciative of a dessert that isn't sickly sweet to allow flavors to balance...but these tasted like an almost complete lack of sweetness...the pistachio came through a lot. The texture of the yeast donuts wasn't as light as we'd wanted, and overall we were disappointed. They do list a "seasonal donut" option on their menu...and as suckers for donuts, that enough, especially knowing we could likely just grab seats at the bar might have us give it another chance. read more

Lamplight Lounge - Chocolate, pistachio donuts! - New American Near Me - Anaheim, California

Lamplight Lounge is a sit-down restaurant and bar at Disney California Adventure Park. It's located on Pixar Pier right across the way from the picturesque Mickey wheel making it a good place to watch fireworks and shows at night time. There is the bar area on the top floor and the more formal dining area below. You put your name on the waitlist on the Disneyland app or with the host and wait for a text message when your table is ready. We ordered the lobster nachos ($27) and the beer battered fish tacos ($22). The nachos were good, had big portions, and had a hint of spice. The fish tacos had a light batter, were easy to bite through, and were really good. For drinks the tennessee passion ($17.50) was gingery, whiskey-forward, and refreshing like a Moscow mule. The sea monster smash ($18) was fruity from the blackberry, easy to drink, and also refreshing. The seasonal lunar cocktail ($17.25) was artificially sweet from some sort of syrup and I wasn't a big fan. The lobster nachos are the most popular dish here and we saw pretty much every table ordering it. They have a large cocktail selection and even have a happy hour here, making it an extra adult-friendly place that you don't see at most other places at the Disney parks. Out of all the food at Disney California Adventure Park I think this restaurant is the best one. read more

One of my favorite places to eat inside Disney California Adventure. I definitely feel the food is much more elevated and they offer better food options inside this park over Disneyland. We made a reservation through the Disneyland app and sat at the bar on. Sunday evening. It's a full bar so they can make you any drink. We ordered for dinner: - aguachile verde: wow this was so good. Fresh himachi fish, with salsa macha that had a good kick, I love spice. Lots of lime and great flavors. It's served with 3 tostadas, but wish it was served with 4. So delicious - burger with cheese: cooked to my liking. It was so juicy with house made pickles. Lots of lettuce, tomato and grilled onions. So good. Its served with shoestring fries that were perfectly fried and crispy and delicious seasoning. Definitely recommend coming to eat and have a drink. Aliyah was so welcoming and always had our drinks refilled. read more

I had a wonderful date night here on a Sunday around 7 PM with my partner. I was able to make a reservation through the Disney app--it's not quite as competitive as Blue Bayou, but definitely plan ahead. Honestly, I ended up enjoying Lamplight Lounge more than Blue Bayou, mainly because of the price-to-deliciousness ratio. We were lucky enough to get a spot by the water, so we were able to enjoy the World of Color show while we ate, which made the experience even more special. SERVICE: Fabulous. Our server really worked hard to maintain that Disney magic and made sure we had a great time throughout the evening. FOOD: Chicken - absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. It felt elevated and well thought out. Burger - very filling and a little messy, but still really good. Overall, I would definitely recommend Lamplight Lounge over Blue Bayou. read more

Was excited to try brunch here since I've only really come for drinks/apps. I will say this was definitely not worth the $60 for 2 entrees. Lamplight is cute, the decor is fun but the service was terrible. I think it took about 5 minutes before anyone even came to ask us for a drink order or bring us water. Our food took close to 30 minutes to come out, to the point where we debated just canceling our order & leaving. We let a manager know & he didn't seem to care much. If I had known this was how the experience would be, I would have saved my time & money. read more

Lamplight Lounge is definitely designed as a bar lounge. They only have appetizers and have an extensive selection of libations. We came with kids so we were glad they offered kids meals my friends kids were happy to eat. The barbacoa nachos were delish but the cauliflower wings were the best. The flavor of the sauce was so good I think it's Korean chicken wing sauce inspired. I had the fish tacos which were decent I just wish they had more cod. The non alcoholic drinks are ok.

We ate at the Lamplight Lounge Boardwalk Dining area, as we were able to make reservations through the Disney app + we knew that the Lobster Nachos were exclusive to the Boardwalk section. The seating is outside and upstairs, compared to the actual restaurant. It has a pretty view of the Pixar Pier! If you go at night, make sure to bring a jacket as it can get chilly. The Lobster Nachos are SO good! The chipotle aioli has so much flavor and there is a good portion of lobster included. They definitely live up to the hype and are a must get if you find yourself having time to spare on your DCA trip! The service is normally very kind, and once they were able to give me the full set of coasters for my collection. Each coaster showcases different sketches from the Pixar movies. The drinks we got were Falling in Style, which was a bit one note to me and Mint to Be that had a lot more different nuances in flavor! read more

Made reservations for Lamplight Lounge a few weeks ahead of our Disney trip for a 4:30 reservation, but from the looks of it, if you go on a weekday you should be able to join the waitlist pretty easily. We checked in 20 minutes ahead of our reservation and we were seated 15 minutes early, which was really nice! It was just my boyfriend and I, and we got seated along the water facing the Wheel and Incredicoaster, and the weather was awesome! For our appetizer, we got the Onion Blossom, and it was delicious! I'm one to like my food piping hot, so I might just be a bit nit picky when saying I would've preferred if they were a little warmer. I appreciated that it came with both a lime and lemon wedge as a lime enjoyer. The sauce they drizzle on top was delicious, but I'd recommend asking for an extra side as it's not nearly as well distributed as I'd like. The onion pieces don't pull apart easily and you have to go in with a knife and cut it, but as an onion lover this was delicious! For our main, we got the Chef Special and asked for the beef to be cooked to Medium. I'd say it was cooked more medium well, but it was still pretty good! The marinade on the steak was really good, and the veggies really helped brighten up the whole dish. The noodles were also pretty good and were a great compliment to the steak. Our server was incredibly nice and helpful! They made great recommendations and were extremely friendly. Lamplight Lounge is always a must stop for me, and after not having a great experience during their brunch service my last visit, I'm glad I had a better time with their new menu, especially the Lunar New Year adds! read more

Dined at Lamplight Lounge (bottom floor, NOT the top floor Boardwalk) for dinner during a park visit on 10/2/2025 and had a mostly positive experience overall. For drinks, we got the Mint to Be and the 2319. Both were refreshing and tasted great, though they leaned more like elevated slushees. For bites, we ordered the potato skins and crispy brussel sprouts. The potato skins were a standout. As someone who loves anything potato, these really hit the spot. The brussel sprouts were also well done with great texture and not overly vinegary. For bigger bites, we had the Thai seafood pasta and the prime rib steak. The pasta was really enjoyable, a little bit of heat with a nice hint of coconut, and the mussels were fresh. The prime rib was the only real miss. I ordered it medium rare but it came out well-done and pretty tough, and the mashed potatoes on the side were just okay. Service was amazing and really above and beyond, as expected from Disney cast members. And the view is phenomenal, which is what this place is known for. As of 3/3/2026, it looks like they no longer offer the crispy brussel sprouts and prime rib, which honestly makes sense for the latter. Also worth noting that the portions here are massive, I'd honestly treat the appetizers as full entrees. Would certainly come back again, if not just for the view, assuming I'm able to get a reservation. read more

Was able to snag a brunch reservation and really enjoyed eating at Lamplight! The service was great and food was delicious. We were seated immediately when getting there (even a bit early) and had a comfy table. Sadly we didnt get a view of the park, but nonetheless, great food , great service & great vibes when we went! read more

New seasonal menu! Tried their Lemon Rosemary Chicken, Thai Seafood Curry and Onion Blossom. Everything was super tasty once again! And large portions, good value! We were seated at the high table which was not the best ambience, but at least it was outside-- just not facing the view. Service was just okay, they were definitely busy, and didn't bring utensils. read more
