Disney's Be Our Guest

Atmosphere

                The restaurant is inside the beast’s castle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.  When one enters, he or she sees finally carved statues of animals, holding up the castle.  

Then one is escorted through a corridor with knights into a room with drapes where he or she will order his or her food at a touch screen location; there are multiple locations available.  Then there are three locations that one can eat at: the ballroom, the mysterious (and forbidden) west wing, and the library.

                On a side note, the west wing includes a rose, which many took pictures with, and the ballroom’s windows displayed fake falling snow.  Walking into this castle was like walking into the movie.  It was enriched with such specific and colorful details.

Service

                I went to this restaurant a few days after New Years for lunch and there was an estimated hour and a half wait.  However, my parents and I were able to eat within 45-minutes, so the service was rather quick.

                While we were ordering our food on the touch screen, there was a man helping us the whole time (and we had a lot of confusion).  He was patient and kind, giving us directions and mixing our mistakes

                Our food came about five minutes after we sat down.  Keep in mind, however, that I was there for lunch, which was a quick service.  It will probably take longer if one goes to dinner here.

Food

                Lunch

There were many sandwich options during this visit.  I ordered to Croque Monsieur sandwich, a ham and cheese sandwich with a side of green beans and French onion soup.  The soup was the best I had ever tasted, the green beans came with some other chopped vegetables and was flavorfully seasoned, and the sandwich was fair.

A turkey sandwich, roast beef sandwich, vegetable quiche, braised pork, etc are also offered.  These options range from $9-14.  The soups – French Onion and Potato Leak – are $5.

The drinks are mostly standard: Coke products, juices, teas, milk, hot chocolate, coffee, and bottled water.  These range from $2-3.

                Dessert

The dessert options for lunch included cream puffs and cupcakes.  I ordered the strawberry cream cheese cupcake, and it was also the best cupcake I ever had.  The cake was moist and flavorful, and the filling and frosting too were filling with rich, strong flavor.  The cupcake was topping with small, pink strawberry balls, which was unique but flavorful as well.

There was also a triple chocolate cupcake, lemon meringue cupcake, chocolate cream puff, passion fruit cream puff, and a lemon-raspberry cream puff.  These were $3.

                Kid’s Meal

The meals for lunch included meatloaf, a turkey sandwich, pulled pork, whole grain mac and cheese, and mahi-mahi for $7-8.

                 

Specials

                Reservations can be made for dinner. 

Conclusion

                Though the main meal cost more than the Applebee’s or the Arby’s, the taste and sites make it worth the penny for any Disney lover.
