 When we are on the dining plan we typically use our counter service points here multiple days as the food is really good and even better than many WDW table service restaurants. The service is good too. You walk up, order, then they bring the food out to your table and are very attentive even though they do not take your order and it is not a table service place. The pizzas are delicious (I have had chicken, meatball, and other all great, better than the more pricey sit down Wolfgangs on the West Side). The non-pizza items are also great and I always get the creme brulee dessert which I liked better here than at Yachtsman Steakhouse (which is much more expensive). It is amazing that on the dining plan that you can use your counter-service points here versus a burger or hot dog place in the parks.

 We normally eat at Wolfgang Puck Express (our favorite counter-service place in WDW) which is on the opposite side of Downtown Disney all the way over at the end of the Marketplace. However, we had gotten as a gift a $50.00 gift card and were on the West Side of Downtown Disney and there was no line so we decided to eat here instead. Bread was good and I ordered a pizza which was good but not nearly as good as Wolfgang Puck Express which has different pizza options I like better. Also, the other food options at Wolfgang Puck Express are different as well and I like them better. So while this is not a bad option, I recommend eating at Wolfgang Puck Express in the Market Place instead.

 Overall a nice addition to Fantasy Land. The pork shank is very tasty. It reminds me of the turkey legs you see at the park only it is pork and more flavorful so a nice change of pace from the standard turkey leg. Also, LeFou's Brew is a nice different drink. Yes it is very sweet, but nice to get a signature drink you cannot find anywhere else and a much nicer change of pace from the typical boring Coca Cola products offered throughout. The pork shank is messy and hard to eat. However, that is the point, this is Gaston's place, a macho/manly place where you can gnaw on a pork shank so it does fit in with the theming nicely.

 If you just want a quick bite on the go while at the park, then definitely get the corn dog nuggets. They are delicious and you can simply get them by themselves with no combo (one of the cheapest snacks in the park) and you can munch them while walking around or standing in line. Do not use your counter service here if you are on the dining plan. Use your Counter Service at Wolfgang Express or Columbia Harbor House or Sunshine Seasons, not here. We had one Counter Service meal here and the hot dog combos were messy/too much bun weird chili/toppings with lackluster not very good fries and seating is hard to find.

 I have eaten here a few times and each time liked it less. Now the atmosphere is good and the PBJ milkshake is good but the food is pretty ordinary and nothing special for the high price (fried chicken, meatloaf, pot roast etc.). I have had the traditional food in the past fried chicken/meatloaf/pot roast which is good but nothing exceptional so this time I thought I would order the fish. I wish I hadn't as the portion was small and it was fishy. Also, the waitress was annoying, Usually the waiters/waitresses are smiling/funny/playful/teasing. She didn't have the funny/playful part but tried to tease a couple times but without the humor like she wasn't really trying so it almost came across as rude. I know how they act as I had been here before but tourists new to the place may not have appreciated this. So if you do go, stick with the fried chicken/meatloaf/pot roast and try to request a male server so you won't get the waitress we had.

 I ordered the seared tuna which comes atop noodles. The tuna was very good (sushi grade quality) nice sized pieces and the noodles were delicious too. I had a tiny bottled water too. Service was fast, you order and pay then take your food to a table and eat it. After tax, the overall bill was $12-$13 which is a bit pricey, but really not that bad, just a couple bucks more than eating out at a nicer fast food place like Panera or Chipotle. I would definitely go there again and recommend for families too as there are different stations with different food options. The food is higher quality and much better than fast food and you get your food very fast so can get in and out quick so kids can get back to rides and attractions unlike a sit down place in Epcot which is much more expensive and will take considerably more time.

 I went for lunch recently. Now lunch and dinner are the same price which makes for a very pricey lunch. I had cheese soup $9, Filet with risotto $43, and iced tea I think was $3. They give you free bread (3 different kinds, the pretzel bread is the standout). So basically lunch was $55 BEFORE tax and tip. The food was excellent and cooked perfectly so A+ to the chefs. However, service was a different story, it was super slow (slowest I have ever had at WDW) so not sure if they had a bad day or were short-handed or what because other times we have eaten here in past service was great. The other negatives would be portion size (bowl soup came in was very shallow) and the filet was very tiny. I have had filets at other restaurants and realize that the filet is typically much smaller than strip, rib-eye, or t-bone, however, this was very small even by filet standards, probably just barely over half the size of a typical filet. It was delicious I easily could have eaten two of them. Hard to rate because food is a 10, but service this time was not good and small portion size/steep price drag the score down overall to an 8. I would say it is a good place for an adults to dine out and splurge but leave the kids at home. I am kind of sad of the changes, as you used to be able to dine there for lunch at a reasonable price, now lunch prices and menu is the same as dinner and it is now 2 points on the dining plan. It was a nice reasonably priced place in the past that everyone loved going to. Now it is priced more like the more upscale resort dining places like Yachtsman Steakhouse or Artists Point.

 I ate here twice, once for lunch in June of 2011 and once for dinner just recently September of 2011. I would have to say lunch was better. I had an eggplant Parmesan dish that was great and price seemed reasonable. So at dinner I was a bit disappointed that eggplant was not on menu. Waiter said he thought that eggplant was only at lunch but did not seem too sure so don't know. So instead I got the chicken Parmesan. The chicken was a good size and prepared well. However, the spaghetti it sat atop was nothing special at all, fairly bland, not enough sauce for my tastes. Plus at $17.99 it seemed pricey as did the pork tenderloin dish at $19.99 that another in my party ordered (some slices of pork with mashed potatoes). Its a nice cute little restaurant, just don't expect to be wowed by the food. It's a good place to go to in the park if you don't want fast food and not in the mood for characters or a buffet. Plus though it is not cheap it is not expensive either, as it is much less expensive than either the Crystal Palace or Cinderella's Royal Table. It's a nice place to sit down, have a meal and relax. Overall I would rate lunch an 8.5 and dinner a 7.5 so give it an 8.0 overall.

 The food quality is good but nothing really stood out or "wowed" us. The portions are small and the price was extremely high for what we got (maybe because of the location inside the Grand Floridian?). Our meal for 2 people came to just over $126.00 BEFORE TIP. All we had was 1 glass of Sangria each (OK but not enough fruit). I had the heirloom tomato & mozzarella appetizer which was good not great. There were not enough tomatoes for price and they were nothing special, though the freshly made mozzarella was very good. For my entree I had the grouper fish. I was surprised how tiny the serving was, I was like seriously? It was OK, nothing remarkable, like any other piece of white fish I could have gotten elsewhere for less. It came with 3 good sized scallops which were the highlight of the entree and 2 super tiny shrimp mixed into the lentils it was served on top of. Overall the dish was good but unremarkable for the price and I was still hungry because the portion size was so small. The fish portion was so small, it should have been twice the size it was. The other in the party had a sauteed shrimp appetizer which was good and ordered the pricey beef filet which they were a bit disappointed with as it was pretty good but not the "wow" they had been hoping for based on the price as we have had better filets for much less at other places. If you are on the dining plan, I would not use 2 points per person here. If you really want to eat at a nice 2 point Disney restaurant, I would highly suggest either Jiko or Yachtsmen over Citricos. In summary as mentioned the food is good but for the high price we expected much much more so cannot recommend for most people. We saw guests in jeans and/or t-shirts as well, not what we expected for fine dining at the Grand Floridian. I know this is fine dining so expected the high prices, however, I would recommend management to increase portion size a bit, improve the "wow" factor of the food, and not allow t-shirts, jeans, or shorts in the dining area to improve on the dining experience for guests.

 We did this in August 2011, caught boat at back of Fort Wilderness. We did 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM excursion. The first hour was nice then it started to get hot outside. Everyone on the boat caught around 2-5 fish. This is very much geared to the novice or families with kids who have never fished before. The skipper baits the fish for you and un-hooks them for you so you can hold and take a picture before releasing them. All the fish caught were the bass you see pictured, more variety would have been nice. It was all catch and release (so not tasty fish dinner, darn). There complimentary sodas and water on the boat but no food. We had 3 fishing stops all anchored to docks near the resorts or Magic Kingdom (I had hoped for a more scenic fishing setting like tucked away in the middle of a little hidden cove that only the skipper knew about). Its a fun thing to do once for the picture and to say you fished on WDW property. However, at $270.00, not something we would probably do again.
