We elected for a later seating after enjoying a Couple's Choice Villa Treatment at Senses earlier in the day during the DVC Member Cruise 1/10-1/13/13. Remy's called to say an earlier seating was available due to cancellation and we were happy to accept (glad we did as this seating was approximately 3 hours of delight and wonderment). We each chose one of the dining options (American or French) and also the wine pairing experience. Nabil (our head server) and our sommelier (I apologize, but can't remember his name), were both fantastic. The food was just delightful. A full explanation of each course and each wine was very helpful. Rather than review each course, just do yourself a favor and try the Remy "Experience". In our view (both from a lengthy food and beverage and hospitality background), well worth the time and additional cost.

didn't try the cheese course

This was so worth the extra charge. I did the a la carte menu and the champagne cocktail was refreshing. I was seated in the private dining room and I had a window view. I didn't have the cheese course. I told the head waiter that I would like to be finished with dinner so that I could watch the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night football. I loved it when he explained to the servers that I wished to watch the match on the telly. He was from England. I was so spoiled from everyday meals. I didn't have the wine pairing because I had gotten a bottle of pink champagne in a gift basket. I do wish that I had tried the cheese course.

Our server choose our menu based on our likes/dislikes. It was the best meal we've ever had!!! We recommend paying the extra surcharge over Palo - see our Palo review. After 6 courses, we felt satisfied but not over full.

My wife and I visited Remy October 6th on the Fantasy, and I must say I was very disappointed. I had large expectations, having enjoyed California Grill, Citrico's, Le Cellier, Narcoosee's, Jiko's and loved Flying Fish. However, I would choose Flying Fish every day and twice on Sundays over Remy. While the attention to detail was apparent, and it is a fine dining experience-- there are several people detailed to each table in varying capacities-- I can give good ratings on the service but the food.... was just not that enjoyable. Remy enjoys over twice the number of chefs than the normal dining rooms, and as such the presentation is excellent. My problem is that we had no options but to order from the menu. While you can mix and match from the two presentations, substitutions were politely declined. This resulted in much of our dinners remaining uneaten, something the waiter should have picked up on and asked about. Customization is something that any restaurant, especially Signature dining, should easily handle. However, despite the extra kitchen staff, this was frowned upon by our wait staff. At Remy's price point this is clearly unacceptable. The main dining room dinner, while prepared en masse, was great... and if you don't like it you can ASK FOR SOMETHING ELSE!
We literally went to Luigis and ate pizza afterward- we were still hungry even after spending $150+tip above and beyond the cruise cost.
While we can say we went, we have no interest in returning. We may try Palo, but advise all--- the service is there, and if you find the menu attractive, you probably will enjoy Remy. If you don't like it as is, I recommend you enjoy the fabulous regular dining rooms, save the money,and enjoy a dinner at one of WDW's signature restaurants.

Food that was artwork, both in appearance and taste

None as long as you are a bit adventurous in your eating

We were the first table seated for the evening and the restaurant never got very full, so we got a lot of really special attention and had time to ask about the food and joke a bit with our servers and the sommelier.
The food was exquisite! After having read other reviews, it would appear that the menu changes depending on what is available because some of the items mentioned, we didn't have. So, I won't describe each item. Just know that everything is prepared with the utmost care and love and served beautifully.
We did the wine pairings (an additional $99/person) and enjoyed them very much, but it was probably more wine that I personally cared to drink. I would have been better off just purchasing a glass, maybe two.
Food, setting, service, atmosphere was all perfect. Couldn't have had a nicer evening.
One thing though, you have to look at the whole evening, not just as an expensive meal, but rather as a total "experience." If you just think about the food, it's probably not worth the cost. If you look at the experience as a whole, it is a reasonably priced evening of food, drink and "entertainment." We loved it!

My friend who highly recommended we do this said this;
"think of eating as Remy as eating at Victoria and Alberts but with a 50% off coupon"
Dead on description! LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS PLACE!!
The food was insanely good! The Wagyu beef was just crazy delicious. 4.5 hours later we had reached food nirvana.
The service was just as insane as our waiter upon seeing me excuse myself to the rest room raced to pull my chair out and escort me ALL the way to the restroom door.
Sounds weird BUT it allowed them to allow no gaps in the exceptional service they were providing. Very professional.
I think I would only do Remy on a 7 Night as 4.5 hours on a 3/4 day would take up a large portion of a your night.

OMG!!!!!!!
While being lead to your table, you are shown Remy and that he is keeping watch. After being seated, you are given a delicious champagne concoction with fresh fruit. I like it. My husband enjoyed a few sips but he's not a champagne person.
Our waiter explained the menu if great depth. He also recommended that one of us take the American Chef's and the other the French Chef's menu for the evening and share for comparison, which we did. But let me tell you, we both had a difficult time sharing. One course, my husband devoured within seconds!!
Before we decided, he brought out the signature dish, Ratatouille!!!! This set the bar for us for the night ... each course after just kept raising the bar!! Each bite was completely magical. It made you really take time to enjoy each little morsel. You will understand by the 6th course why the portions are so small.
Thoughout the meal, we were treated to special surprises.
Interesting as well ... they have a waiter that looks just like Luigi, one like Claire, and the Chef ... Gusteau!!!!! But apparently, according to our waiter, he doesn't like the comparison. :D
They suggested prior to the meal to meet with the wine sommelier. We didn't have the time but he came by the table to make suggestions. Perfect choices.
The price is worth it!!! On our next Disney Dream cruise, we will spend at least two nights here!!!!
