This place is perfect if you aim for the Disney princess theme. Unfortunately, it fell short on the food and services. The mussels in the appetizer was not fresh. Though the broth was quite good. The pork on the Magic Carpet Ride was super dry (charred and rock solid to the core). Pesto sauce on the grilled chicken pasta was super overwhelming. It threw me off and I could not finish my plate. Chocolate mousse on the Clock Strikes Twelves was super dense and rich to the point that it was hard to swallow. Though, the caramel ice cream that came with it was delicious - light and not overly sweet. The best dessert you can get is the Jaq and Gus cheesecake. It was light and creamy and it is what fine dining dessert should be like. Also, you can pay extra to order the "Lost Slipper", it is a perfect dessert if you want to surprise someone. Gratuity was already included in the prepaid amount. However, non of the waiters and waitresses tell us and Disney was slick enough to still include the tips section on your bills. Be careful with that.
Book reservations the day you're allowed to (use the Genie+ app and it will let you know) as there is almost no way to walk up and get in unless someone cancels right as you walk up.This is a MUST DO in my opinion if you have younger kids. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, the food options are not great for kids. Yes, the food options may not be great for adults if you're just looking for chicken fingers and fries. But the experience is unbeatable. From the moment you walk up the winding stairs and your kids are treated as princes and princesses, to the first time you see your kids' eyes go wide when Cinderella comes out, to the make-your-own cupcake dessert, to when you leave the restaurant and are given fairy wands and little swords... every moment was special. I really can't recommend this experience enough!I posted a video to give just a small sense of what it's like to walk up to the restaurant. A great surprise for a parent or parents to give their family. Unforgettable.
These days it's only Cinderella rather than a combination of princesses, presumably due to less space on the restaurant floor for social distancing. We met Cinderella downstairs before heading up for breakfast. Nice selection of pastries provided on entry, huge strawberries. Usual menu for breakfast, I had the French Toast which was nice but a little dry. I think without the extra princesses, you are basically paying a premium for being seated in the castle which bumps it down a star rating for me.
Overall, a VERY cool experience! Nostalgia at it's best!Appetizer salad was small but tasty, unfortunately, no bread basket which seems odd for such a Royal experience! main entree was good, dessert and coffee was quite nice afterwards.
Been here 5 times over the past 5.5 years… it’s amazing. It’s a must in every Disney trip. From the dining, to the Disney characters, to the breathtaking firework show after. I never thought I’d get excited about Disney Princesses, but this place has got me doing that as it throws my mind back 30 years as I’m walking out of there every time with a new plastic sword through my belt loop.
I have seen mixed reviews about CRT. We had the best time. Our waitress was amazing and so sweet! Tomato salad looked weird but tasted so good! Fish and desserts were great! My daughter got the grape and cheese, Mac and cheese, rice and corn, and the cupcake. Hers was nothing fancy but she loved it! The cupcake was her favorite part. The Royal flight was great! The red is actually really sweet. We were far away from Cinderella but we got to see her when we left. Thank you Disney for a magical lunch for our little princesses!
Every year, the wife and I travel to Disney World to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. This year in honor of our 15th, we got lucky and scored a reservation to CRT. The food and service were excellent. You will receive an appetizer, entree, dessert, and non-alcoholic drink, and Disney does require you to prepay for the meals. The food was a little slow in coming out, but everything was nicely seasoned and cooked as we asked. As we waited for our dinner, there was plenty of awesome Disney decor to examine and find cute touches. Cinderella herself visited the dining hall several times during our meal, waving and lighting the room with her smile as the surrounding children lost their minds. It is a heartwarming experience to see something so simple bring happiness to the little ones. While expensive, especially if you have a large family, if you have the luck to score a reservation, I say do it as it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
This was such a magical ending to our trip to Disney. Eating inside the Castle! Yes. The atmosphere was amazing. Your name announced to enter, while being hailed as royalty throughout. It was truly magical. The food was very good. I was a little disappointed with the Royal Cheese platter as it mentioned it was various plant based cheeses. Instead, it was just myoko's garlic & chive cheese. Still good. The meals were tasty, the serivice great, and the Clock Strikes Twelve dessert was one of the best desserts we've ever had. Loved Cinderella. She did a great job.
Amazing experience-venue, character interaction with Cinderella (modified due to COVID, but still amazing)! Our family of 4 ate lunch in December 2021. We ordered drinks (non-alcoholic), appetizers, entrees and desserts, spent a little over 250 tip included. Overall, wonderful experience. Appetizers-charcuterie board, salad (amazing) and cheese/grapes for littles. Entrees-filet mignon (delicious) and pork belly/pork loin. Desserts-clock strikes 12 and build your own cupcake for kids. If you have little ones, ask your host/hostess if you can sit closer to Cinderella’s walking path. It will not hurt to ask. We scored reservations on the 60 days before arrival date, but you can sign up for dining alerts to score a reservation.
Magic! My daughter loved - I think I loved even more lolFood was great.Dessert O-M-G deliciousIt was magical.We were sad because Cinderella doesn’t come to the tables (due to covid)
