Where's breakfast again?…read more Was that at Susan's? No. Daisy's? No. Minnie's? Oh! That's right! We're going to Olivia's Cafe for breakfast! And so we did. NOTES 1. Located in the main building of Disney's Old Key West Resort. As one might expect, it's very nautical themed. 2. We arrived before 9:00am, and thankfully the restaurant wasn't very crowded and we were seated immediately. Thanks to the lovely cast member that sat us in a both at the end. However, there were noticeably more people dining when we left. 3. We dined at Olivia's Cafe in November 2025 (yes, this review is a bit late), as we were guests of Old Key West. Our server introduced herself and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. In the end, I chose the sombrero omelet, while my partner chose the Buttermilk Chicken with an add-on Mickey waffle. Our very own coffee carafe completed our meal. We liked the food honestly. There's no better way to express it. The portions were decent, and the food was delivered in a timely manner. Also, I thought the option of the adding the Mickey waffle was just magical. SERVICE Our server, Cara, provided outstanding customer service. We appreciated her patience, knowledge and expertise regarding the menu, as well as checking on us periodically throughout the meal. Well done, Cara! side NOTE Cara did explain to us that their breakfast potatoes were on the cheesier side of the dairy spectrum, and that it was not to the liking of some former customers/diners. And to be honest, the potatoes are mixed/tossed in cheese, but it wasn't like they were drenched IMHO. BOTTOM LINE A wonderful breakfast at Olivia's Cafe. Its a great breakfast option for guests at Old Key West. Recommended.

My main issues with the place have to do with inconsistency in sizing, as well as receiving a wrong order. After a long day at the park, the worst thing was definitely grabbing a pick up order and getting to our room-- finding out after the walk it's the wrong order-- to then walk back and they've closed the grill at 10:30pm. This + traveling with an infant was pretty defeating! I think if I stayed at this resort again I might venture off more just based off this experience.

For one, their menu offers some great African-inspired options, like bowls and flatbreads. If you really just want standard fare (burgers, chicken fingers), they have you covered too, but I would strongly advise going for one of their more themed offerings. Their staff is usually pretty friendly and helpful. I've never had any negative interactions. If you're dining in, they have a fairly spacious seating area, which is nicely themed to the resort itself. It's quick-service, though, so a lot of folks seem to take their food to-go. The prices are what you'd expect for Disney dining. You can find options on a budget if you're really focused on that, though. Don't skip dessert! They have seasonal rotating options, plus standard menu items that do not disappoint! I found it very difficult to decide between them, and I was always quite happy with my choices! It's a little hidden, Disney-priced, and does not have an exceptionally big menu, but what they do have is diverse, delicious, and convenient. I really do think this is one of the best counter service options in all of the Disney World Resorts!

This was a nice little break from walking around the park & ended up being the last ride we went on, before leaving. The wait queue for this ride was definitely the LONGEST of all the rides we went on, guessing mainly for the nostalgia? (It was ~1 hr long wait vs the 20-30 min wait we experienced for all the other rides) The skipper we had really did make up for the atrocious wait time lol. I was reading up on this ride while in line & many people were saying your experience really depends on which skipper you get. Luckily, ours was pretty hilarious haha. I highly recommend trying to get on the boat & sitting close to the skipper, it's worth it!

Those Cachapas things were too good for their own good and would of could of made a meal of themselves. Overall, was some pretty good Jungle Jim's like eats albeit a touch blandish, if anyone's from here long enough to remember. Our server was excellent without being Disney awkward, so that was nice.

We went here for magical dining and unfortunately will not be returning. Bread Service - the wheat roll was great. It had some nuts and raisins in it. The cheesy roll however was incredibly oily and not appetizing at all. DRINKS: * Raspberry rouge - tasted like cough syrup. * Old fashion - strong APPS: * Black bean & chorizo soup - good flavor however the rice that was in the soup was hard and grainy. * Queso fundido - Took one bite and was DONE. The cheese was gritty and starchy. I've tried other queso fundido in the past and this one was just NOT it. To make it worse, the chips were stale. ENTRÉES: * Half mojo chicken - had great flavor and I liked that I could pick 2 sides of my choice. * Salmon - wow was this bad. My fiancee took one bite and didn't touch the rest of it. I tried it and instantly thought FISH TANK. Thankfully the mojo chicken was good enough so I can share with him. DESSERTS: * Chocolate chip lava cake - unfortunately dry and nothing lava about it. * Caribbean rum cake - they need to ID if they're going to be serving this !!! There was nothing cakey about this. It was straight rum with ice cream. PARKING: If you're going to valet just know even after the restaurant validates your ticket, you'll need to pay $5.

While staying at Sapphire Falls resort, we decided to eat at Amatista Cookhouse…read more The night started out nicely. We received the bread service and appetizers. The waiter took our selection for the main. That was the last time we saw the waiter. Apparently the waiter has two tables plus the bar. Not sure who thought this was a great idea. So we were definitely not given the service we deserved. There was a lag between him coming to the table between courses. I had to find someone to place a dessert order to go. And even that took a while to get. While the food was good, the lack of service completely detracted from the entire experience.

We went with the all-you-can-eat platter, which is $38 and comes with smoked pork ribs, baked chicken, beef brisket, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, seasonal vegetables, and sautéed corn with bacon. And yes, you also get cornbread with honey butter! There's a lot of food for the price, and everything was flavorful and filling. The variety on the platter makes it easy to try a little bit of everything, and I especially loved that the meal comes with all those classic comfort-food sides. For a Disney resort restaurant, $38 for an all-you-can-eat platter with this much food is a great value. It's a relaxed, rustic setting that fits the Port Orleans atmosphere perfectly. Definitely a meal worth adding to your Disney dining rotation!

Boatwright's Dining Hall is a new restaurant for me personally and one that was delicious and I…read morethink very underrated. I do not see a lot of people talking about it. It is located at Disney's Riverside Resort which is a moderate resort so I don't think that people are running to this resort just for food, when you compare it to other higher end resorts. You do need a reservation if you are looking to park at the resort. It was not super packed when my wife and I went so you may be able to walk up and get a table. It is table service. This restaurant is not new and was here when the resort opened. My wife actually visited a few times as a child but again has not been here in years. They recently made a few changes to the menu and it was a part of the 40% discount for annual Disney passholders this summer. This is exactly why my wife and I went. 40% off dinner was awesome! You are directly next to a lounge and the quick service cafe. However, it is not very loud and you cannot tell there are two other things on the sides. They have all tables, and really feels more homey with a fireplace and such. We did make a 6:00 pm reservation, and checked in about 20 minutes early. Even though there were many many empty tables, they refused to seat us early. We even asked. They also seated us late, we were called until 6:15pm. There are no seats to wait so we really just stood there staring at them. We were both really disappointed in this. They knew we were here and most the time there were around 3-5 cast members at the check in desk, just chatting. Our server was friendly but also sort of seemed annoyed with everything. I'm sure they have been busier than normal because of the discount. She did recommend items, tried to add additional items and honestly made some good suggestions. She only came by once to check on us and we needed more water, she never filled it. We decided to try a bunch of things since we got that 40% off. Everything I have to say was delicious. We did not have anything bad to say about the food. It was great. I would pay full price for these again! They did bring some bread and butter, but the bread was cold and the butter rock solid. It would have been better warm. For appetizers, we ordered the French Onion soup and salad. The French onion soup had a rich broth and was one of the more flavorful onion soups we have tried. It was very good. The salad was topped with bacon bits and had a green goddess dressing. For entrees my wife ordered the prime rib and because of our servers suggestion, upgraded the mashed potatoes to a loaded mash potato. It was topped with cheese, bacon, green onions and sour cream. I am not a huge fan of mashed potatoes but these were really good. My wife loved them and even ate them the next day with left overs. The prime rib was a nice thick cut. Some Disney restaurants are becoming skimpy with prime rib so it was a pleasure to see a thick piece of prime rib. I ordered the Panko Crispy Chicken which came with Seasonal Risotto-style Farro and Greens. This was very crispy, had great flavor and I love the farro. I highly recommend this dish. Overall, this is a great underrated restaurant. I would suggest checking it out! ACES!

Coming here they take you through the dinning room where they tell you about the wines with them having one of the largest collections of South African wines outside of South Africa incase you wanna get your drink on! Once we were seated we were given some of what they call giraffe bread and some butter that had a blend of an African spice in it that gave it a bit of tartness to it but it was still good and just hit the flavor profile a bit different but in the best way possible! Once we ordered for me it was all about the bone marrow crusted filet and I must say that was such a flavor packed piece of meat cooked perfectly with just the right amount of sauce on it making for one incredible meal, and if that weren't enough it came on top of some Mac and cheese and that right there was also super delicious some of the best mac I've had in a long time! So I chose to go with one of the enhancement and added the shrimp to my order and let me say these were awesome cooked perfectly with a bit of a chili sauce over them making them a little spicy but not too hot but definitely delicious in their own way! Overall this was a chill vibe to grab dinner on this given night and I definitely hope to return back here again in the future as that was definitely one of the best things I've ever had at Disney!

First, mickey, goofy, daisy and Donald were amazing, they appeared many times and always bringing magic moments. Our server was bellow average, didn't refill any drink, was kind angry (or tired) Last time to seat was 7 pm, but at 7;20 they closed some food islands and didn't replace the food, also some plates like the beef one was really chewy and dry, well overcooked. For 64 per adult + tip + tax you expect more But still my favorite character restaurant at Disney property, but don't arrive 30 min before the last call as we did.
