Reviews Character Dining Restaurants

Garden Grove is a restaurant located in the Dolphin hotel. The dining area is circular in shape and is centered around a large tree. During this visit my wife and I each ordered the biscuits and gravy. It also comes with home fries and eggs any style. I chose scrambled eggs and it was a very healthy portion. The home fries were also seasoned well and had a nice crispiness to them. The biscuits and gravy were also good. Overall I would recommend visiting Garden Grove for breakfast.

My wife and I visited this restaurant on the last day of our trip to the Walt Disney World Dolphin and Swan. We had originally planned on attempting to go on a weekend since the breakfast buffet features characters but we ended up going on a Monday morning around 10:30am. The restaurant was not busy at all. In fact, I would say there were no more than ten tables of Guests at that time of day. The atmosphere inside has all the tables circling a large tree with flickering lanterns in the middle of the room while the buffet was in a small area on the outer wall. As for the selections available I must say that it was lacking compared to what other buffets have offered in hotels such as Hampton Inn and the like. We were surprised when our server told us that if we wanted toast we had to ask her for it and she would go and get it, unlike most other buffets I have ever been to where bread is readily available. Even the Mickey shaped waffles that are standard at all Disney buffets were not on the buffet itself and had to be asked for. However, despite the limitations on offerings the food itself was very good and I could not have been happier with the omelet station and the taste of the food I had. The only other negative I would say is that there were a group of kids from one family who kept running around the restaurant playing hide-and-seek and otherwise causing commotion, even so much as almost running into one woman carrying a plate of food. The servers and other staff did not say anything to the parents (who were just sitting at their table oblivious to their kids) in an attempt to get the youngsters under control.

Went there for Xmas eve. We were the first ones seated, so the dishes were warm and looked perfect. It was pretty limited, but the dessert table was fabulous! The creme brulee was pretty weak and didn't have that crispy burnt sugar topping that I love, but the eggnog custard was divine!

Reviewing for breakfast - both the cappuccino and the overnight oats were to DIE for, but be warned- the amount of overnight oats they give you is enough to fill a small swimming pool.

Enjoyed breakfast this morning. Met our waitress Karen who was so friendly and attentive. The Taylor Pork Roll scrambled egg and cheese bagel was tremendous. Recommend this breakfast highly.

Food was amazing! And the kids loved the company with dinner! They were very intuitive and so friendly.

The seafood buffet was incredible. I thought I was goofy put met the real Goofy at dinner! Excellent staff, white sangria was delicious!

Our server Kevin Kieler 904681693, was OUTSTANDING! We came for breakfast - a party of 4, we each ordered multiple items, using different discounts, and Kevin’s attention, detailed customer service with a smile was AMAZING! Each order was itemized and correct to specifications. His friendly, professional demeanor put us at ease as we knew that our orders could be complicated. THANK YOU KEVIN for getting us off to a great day at Disney!!
