California Grill

I came here for one of the 50th anniversary dinners where you choose an appetizer, entree and dessert from a set menu. They had an allergen menu and the executive chef came out to explain how some dishes could be modified to be gluten-free and took my order. We had gluten-free bread, sushi, pork tenderloin and crème brûlée overlooking Magic Kingdom. All food came out separately and with the Disney allergy stick.

For a $175 meal, I was extremely disappointed. This was a special anniversary dinner and I came home sick. Not only did they not us our Passholder discount but I got sick to boot! It wasn't the worst case if gluten I've ever had but it was definitely some sort of cross contamination. I'm extremely sensitive.

In addition, my filet was unseasoned and had no flavor at all. I had to ask for salt and for extra sauce that came with it.. maybe this was how I was glutened.. I don't know. I don't know how or what it was but it happened.

My husband ordered the scallops and lobster was also extremely disappointed with only 2-3 scallops on the plate and the lobster was covered in some sort of disgusting cinnamon sauce. Since when does cinnamon go with seafood? Although our server was friendly, we had an overall disappointing dinner. We will never ever go back. They only reason I gave two stars was because of the fireworks show. Everything else was a huge let down.

No

So I used to love this restaurant. Once upon a time nearly all the menu options were gluten free and the food was delicious - well worth the hefty price. However, we went last night and had a bad experience. No one was glutened, the food just wasn't good. And those of us with allergies felt like after thoughts. One member of our party also has a garlic allergy. They served her plain, grilled chicken with mashed sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts - charged her $42!!! I ordered California roll and it was too plain - too much Crab with no flavor. Honestly if your party has allergies, go to Narcoussee's instead. They were amazing and well worth the mark up

Chef Jonathan came out to speak with me and assured me regardless of Celiac or simple gluten intolerance, they are very careful. He personally took care of my meal. I had the swordfish with kale and a potato purée. Was amazing.

Ordered the filet and it was phenomenal! I tested it with my Nima sensor and it came out gluten-free.

Very accommodating and knowledgable servers and kitchen.

My wife and I ate here this past weekend and it was great. The Disney allergy friendly menu is very informative and gave her many options to choose from. The server knew exactly what to do and gave us a great experience.
