We had a ADR for lunch on Saturday the 14th. Within 5 minutes of checking in we were in our seats. Kevin, our server was very pleasant and stopped at the table several times to check on us. My DW and myself both ordered the chicken which was very good. My kids had a little trouble ordering due to the somewhat limited lunch menu items. Remi stopped by to say hi although his human companion stole the show. Overall, a very nice restaurant.

We had an ADR on 10/23/09 for dinner. We were seated on time in the front room by the windows--perfect for people watching. We were lucky enough to catch Remy's last trip around the dining room. He stopped briefly at our table--the kids really enjoyed meeting the "little chef." Our server, Gwendoline, was fantastic--properly pacing the meal and keeping up with drinks, etc. My husband had the scallops/shrimp which he obviously enjoyed because he didn't share. I had the salmon which, while not over-cooked, seemed a bit bland because the bearnaise sauce was served on the side (sauce was also a bit cold). My daughter loved the onion soup, additionally, the carb queen adored the rolls. My son had another unmemorable kid's meal. Kids had dessert. Creme brulee was devoured by son. Chocolate cake was delicious and so rich my husband and I were lucky enough to get a bite or two. Overall, a good meal.

First time for dinner 10/21/09. Emilie, our server, couldn't have been more pleasant. However, about three minutes after we ordered our apps and entrees, our entrees showed up. Don't know who forgot the soup and salad, but it was corrected in a jiffy. What concerned me more, was how quickly two filet mignons and two pasta dishes were prepared so quickly (pre-cooked?!) Fortunately, we couldn't taste the assembly line that must be in the kitchen, because everything was delicious. I've been having dreams about the soup ever since, it was that good.
Only advice, let your server know if you'd like to take your time, or they'll have you in and out before you know it. We let our server know to take her time once our apps were brought, and we weren't rushed after that.

We dined here on October 28th and had looked forward to our meal here. We had dined here a few years ago and had a wonderful meal. This time however, we had limited menu choices on the DDP. But there was fish for me and beef for my husband. However, my salmon was quite bland, and the sauce was served on the side and was barely warm. We had better salmon at the Crystal Palace. the lobster bisque soup was quite good however.
I get frustrated by the limited offerings for kids. My 4 year old will eat things like sushi, mahi-mahi, and any kind of soup (she loved the bisque too). Most of the restaurants menus only featured chicken nuggets and mac and cheese for kids. This gets old after a few days.
We had very good service for this meal. We were not intending to stay for fireworks so we didn't care where we were seated.

Watching Epcot go by as you eat!

A friend and I dined here on Oct. 19. This has always been one of my favorite restaurants, and once again, it did not disappoint. We were seated next to the front window, so we sat and watched Epcot go by as we ate. Love it! Service was, as usual, impeccable. The courses were timed just right, drinks quietly refilled, without our even noticing. My friend had the chicken which she said was wonderful. I had my usual mac 'n cheese. Outstanding. Remy came around. I must say, I'm on the fence about how I feel about this. The idea of a very realistic looking rat in a restaurant is a bit off-putting. For me anyway. Also, this is one of the last nice, sit down establishments where one can have a quiet adult dinner with out characters or games, or the like. I think I want it to stay that way. Regardless...I'll be back...every trip!

We ate dinner here on Saturday Oct 23. We like getting reservations near park close, it makes the trip out so much nicer and easier, and being at the back of Epcot, it was a wonderful walk back to the front. Now for the restaurant itself, I have wanted to try this place for years, and Saturday we did. Our waitress was great, she made sure we were taken care of. Carrie always orders her drinks without ice, and our waitress brought our drinks, and just before she sat her tea down, she stopped and realized it had ice and took care of it. We did the prefix meals, the Lobster Bisque was the best I've ever had and the short ribs were so tender. Gotta give this place a try.

Never ate here before, probably won't go back. Food was very good, nice atmosphere, it just didn't ''click'' for us. Recommend you try it once anyway.

Prix Fixe 3 Courses Menu, Waitstaff
|
|
Cons:
|
None
|

My boyfriend and I ate lunch here on Oct 18th to celebrate my birthday. We had reservations for 12:20 and were seated in the back room with all the windows. We both ordered the prix fixe 3 courses menu. We both had the French Onion Soup which was really good and a large serving. It was different from any that I have ever had - it had a chicken broth base and no onions in mine. For our entrees we both had the Gratin de macaroni which which was also really good and a huge serving as well. For dessert I had the Gateau au chocolat (chocolate mousse cake and vanilla ice cream) which is not on the allears menu as a selection, but is on the menu at the restaurant. My boyfriend had the Creme brulee which he thought was excellent and a huge serving.
The waitstaff all sang Happy Birthday to me in french when they brought my dessert out to me with a candle lit in my cake. It was an awesome disney moment!
My boyfriend and I both agree that for $20 you can not beat the 3 course menu at Chef de France.

We went there on our 25th anniversary on September 22, I had written the time down wrong and we showed up late. They were very pleasant and went ahead and seated us after only about a 15 or 20 min wait. We had a wonderful waiter. He was very young and french. He was very sweet with our grandson (2). We both had the Prix fix package. I had the Onion soup and my husband had the lobster they were both fantastic. Our meals were just perfect tender and the service was great. I had chicken and it was wonderful. We always love their desserts. We will be returning on our next visit.

It took along time for us to be seated. Our server was friendly, but often forgot about us. The food quality has declined a bit. The French Onion Soup, ham and cheese sandwich, and mac and cheese were all just ok. The creme brulee was wonderful and the only reason I would return.

Terrible food

Ate dinner here on Oct 4, the hostess was turning away walk ups until the manager noticed and told her not to turn anyone away, they had plenty of seats open.
We waited 15 minutes and were seated in the back along the windows. Our server was the same one that I had for my solo lunch in June. He was not as good as he was then...forgot about us a lot.
We started with the escargot and the French onion soup which was cold...we sent them back...this was a common occurence at the WDW places, I think everything is prepped and ready way ahead of time hoping someone is going to order that item.
The bread was piping hot and great with the butter from the escargot.
DH had the filet, it was a bad cut and very dry and tough..and over cooked. He didn't like the wilted sting beans or overly nutmeg flavored potatoes.
I had the terribly fatty and flavorless (from what little meat there was) short ribs and the pasta was dry and rubbery.
The chocolate covered vanilla ice cream filled profiteroles were excellent.
What a waste of $92 (with TIW card) and I will eat here for lunch only

Best Meal I have ever had at WDW
|

Cons:

Tables are somewhat close

This was without question the best meal I have ever had anywhere at Disney World (previous "best" was at the now closed Concourse Steak House). We had ADR's which was a good thing because they were not accepting walk ups, and we had to wait about 15 minutes but we were early by about the same amount so it worked out well. There are shaded benches outside the entrance, so it wasn't bad. The maitre d' noticed that we were celebrating our first anniversary on this trip, so he arranged for us to be seated near the windows (a nice touch, I thought). Our waiter, Bryce, was excellent. The tables are somewhat close, but other than that, everything was perfect. We both had the french onion soup (among the best I have ever had), the beef tenderloin, and the creme brulee. The beef was excellent, lean and tender and cooked to perfection-exactly as ordered. The creme brulee was absolutely out of this world. Far and away the best I ever had. The lady at the next table declared it better than a three letter word not suitable for a family review. My wife commented that she could not believe how quickly they were clearing the empty tables, resetting and seating new parties, but we never felt the least bit rushed. This restaurant will now become one of our "must" meals for all future visits.

We ate here on Oct. 7th. Even though the restaurant was very busy, our party of seven was seated about 10 mins past our priority seating time. Our waiter was fantastic, explaining the dining plan choices and was very attentive thoughout our meal. The four adults in out party had the beef tenderloin which melted in your mouth. My husband and I enjoyed the cheese potatoes however my brother and sister in law did not enjoy them as much as we did. My nephew had the salmon which enjoyed except for the sauce which he was not used to. My children both had cheese puff apps which they loved and the French version of a hamburger which they also enjoyed. All of the desserts were amazing, the apple crepes were perfect and the childrens chocolate chip cookies were huge!! This is a must stop for us on every vacation and again this restaurant did not disappoint!!!

My husband and I dined here on Sept. 15, 2009. It was my birthday and we were celebrating our honeymoon. We had a short wait for our priority seating and then were escorted into the restaurant with a wonderful welcome. This was starting out to be a fabulous experience.
Unfortunately, it stopped there. The waiter offered suggestions, but then tried to push entrees on us. We chose what we both wanted, the duck for me and the chicken for my husband. The food came out so fast that it seemed like a quick service.
I ate the duck, but didn't love it(the Hollywood Brown Derby's duck was wonderful). It seemed like it had been sitting out for quite a while, which would make sense considering our dinners were out to the table in about 5 minutes.
My husband is a slow eater, but was enjoying his chicken. Remy came by and my husband proceeded to take pictures. Without realizing it, the waiter came and took his plate away. He had eaten maybe a third of his meal and was not happy. We told the waiter and he said it was already in the trash, and asked what we wanted for dessert without an apology.
I had the blackberry sorbet to keep it on the lighter side. It was tasty, but the skin of the berries stick to your teeth, so that wasn't so fun. My husband isn't a dessert person and ordered a coffee.
I wouldn't dine here again. There are so many wonderful restaurants on property. This one is off the list.
