If there’s one place that I love to splurge for when on my Disney vacation, it has got to be a fantastic meal at the California Grill. It doesn’t matter if you want a high end steakhouse meal, sushi, or a simple flatbread, this Disney Signature Dining establishment and it’s team of culinary masters has something that will tickle your taste buds and make you smile.
In February my companions and I made advanced dining reservation for the Grill just about an hour before it was time for the fireworks. Many people want to eat here for the window view, but my delight was being set at the perfect table to watch the chefs working in the spectacular show kitchen. With Executive Chef Brian Piasecki running the expedite station, it was a truly extraordinary show. We started with cocktails, and I had a wonderful ‘French Martini’. It’s a cocktail I had always admired when eating there, but had previously passed by in favor of the award winning wine list. I will not be passing it up again. To eat I started with some delicious custom sushi, followed with the phenomenal pulled pork flatbread that was upbeat and modern, then finished with raspberry cheesecake. I simply don’t have bad thing to say about any of it. Magnificent is the only word that I can use to describe one of the best meals I’ve had. It’s no real surprise to me that it happened at the California Grill.
Make sure to get to the California Grill this year on your Disney vacation so that you can get your last look at the current décor, and while you’re there, be sure to have a fantastic meal and tell Chef Brian hello!
