So I just had reservations here two weeks ago. And it was an interesting experience. There were some high points in the meal. Some of the food was exceptional. There were a handful of misses though.  The meal and service started off top notch. But there were a few dishes that my wife didn’t enjoy and I noticed, servicer attentiveness went down after the two dishes she only tried but didn’t like went back. The biggest issue? The time. I researched and read that this was a longer meal, of around 3 hours. Our meal, was 4 and half hours and we had them box dessert because it was simply taking too long. Had we not told them we were ready to go, our meal would have been likely over 5 and half hours. The service drop off and the extremely long wait time kind of soured the meal. For the price, I’ve had far better experiences at other Michelin stared restaurants. Overall? The experience was a disappointment.

It seems like opinions about Disney’s Michelin star restaurant are split between the Disney die-hards who can only see it as magic and those who find the place overpriced for what it offers. As someone who finds a restaurant less appealing if visiting it requires me to brave the crowds and chaos of Orlando theme park land, please hear me when I say that this restaurant is awesome.

After waking up at 5:55am to unsuccessfully attempt to snag a reservation, we signed up for a free MouseDining account and—this is where the magic comes in—happened to score a reservation for the Queen Victoria room. One of our servers mentioned that calling and asking to be placed on the waitlist can be a good way to do it, but patience is required either way.

Arriving at the Grand Floridian, we had to wait in a line of cars to get through the security gate. This process took about 5 minutes. Security asked for a driver’s license and last name on the reservation before waving us on to the hotel valet. From there, the restaurant can be accessed on the second floor, down a hallway and to the left of the check in kiosk for another dining place. We were greeted by name and welcomed into the dining room and guided to our table. They had a small ottoman/stool set up which was super convenient for setting down a purse, sweater, etc. Such a nice touch! The seats were incredibly comfortable and the wallpaper is this beautiful, cushiony fabric with intricate details that helped to dampen some of the sound.

We were fortunate to have Jenna and James taking care of us, with visits from Maître d’hôtel Israel Pérez and other team members. The hospitality they extended to us was really incredible. From describing each dish or zero proof drink to answering questions with proud enthusiasm to the perfect balance of checking in on us and being there when we needed while otherwise giving us space to enjoy things, there’s really nothing more I could ask for.

Having tried a few fine dining tasting menus in Orlando, one thing that stands out about the dining experience (other than a live harpist!!) in the Queen Victoria room at Victoria & Albert’s is the portion sizes. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so full after a chef’s tasting menu, which may help to explain the price point beyond the “Disney tax,” so to speak. Each course offered more than just a bite or two; you get to really savor the dishes for a few minutes before hitting the bottom of the bowl.

Everything was prepared and plated with precision and skill. The creativity of each course stands out as well, with excellent zero proof pairings that enhance the flavor and complement everything from ingredients to colors and textures. Everything tasted fantastic, and they do such a great job of pacing the courses so that you get plenty of time to enjoy without feeling like you’re wondering when the next dish will arrive.

While our budget and (the near Olympic sport of securing reservations) really doesn’t allow us to visit more than like once a year, this is definitely somewhere I’d be thrilled to go to again in the future. Victoria & Albert’s deserves 2 Michelin stars for sure, and it’s no wonder they’ve been a AAA five diamond restaurant for so long. We went in with tempered expectations based on other reviews and just the Disney vibe that isn’t quite our thing, but we left feeling like our expectations had been far exceeded, in a bit more of a joyful Disney spirit than we’d probably care to admit ;)

What an incredible dining experience this turned out to be! From the atmosphere, the presentation, the wines, the food, the service, and the company, everything was perfect!

We were promptly greeted at the entrance of the restaurant and escorted to our table. Everyone there knew it was my wife's 40th birthday, and wished her a happy birthday.

The atmosphere was so relaxed and upscale with a phenomenal harp player who just made it better. The decor was beautiful and the personalized envelope with the menu inside a very nice gesture!

Our servers Matt and Christina truly went above and beyond to ensure that we had such an incredible dining experience! They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very personable!

The sommelier and GM Israel and Rado were both very attentive and courteous. The wine selection was insanely huge, and everything we tried was delicious. My wife ended up doing the wine pairing (additional $155), which was the equivalent to about 2 1/2 glasses. Great pairings, and bit pricey though.

Every courses we had were perfectly prepared with dietary needs for each of us. The plate presenations were spectacular and everything was delicious. My personal favorite had to be the Ox Tail, just AMAZING! My wife loved the lamb and my friend the Wagyu!

Yes, it is the most expensive dining experience in Orlando, but absolutely worth it. The attention to details is bar none, and the service is top notch. Two thumbs way up to the incredible team of Victoria & Albert's for such an outstanding evening!

Chef Gabby is creating culinary mastery which we delight in on the regular, as a favorite pastime. Christina took us on a marvelous journey throughout the evening with pacing, presentation and details. She listened attentively as we shared the story of our 13 yo dining companion yearning for a grilled cheese on a faraway adventure as she found herself yet again in the throes of embracing a degustation menu of fanciful food. Like the pure, unexpected magic that is Disney, the kitchen wasted no time and chef Connor presented a Michelin Star grilled cheese - never done before! We erupted into laughter and were filled with joy at the wit and humility!! Absolutely made our night even more enjoyable. The pure thoughtfulness, surprise and humor.  Everyone loved the evening, there were 5 of us. Every bite was savory and divine - we left satiated on multiple levels.  Stunning harpist, elegant ambiance, but not pretentious- this is a delicate balance they have achieved.  If fine dining is your passion, this is a must while in Orlando. Thank you! We will be back!

What a wonderful experience on 2/9/23.  Christina our server was attentive and knowledgeable.  She took the experience to another level.  Outstanding service by the staff as a whole.  Food presentation was great and almost nearly perfect.  Just one inconsistency but no big deal.  As a chef for 26 years the only suggestion I have is the Madeline cookies were underwhelming at such a critical stage of closing out the dinner.  We were very pleased and we would like to return in the future.  The fine dining is worth it and I recommend it to anyone wanting a beautiful night out of 3.5 hours it honestly goes by quickly leaving you wanting more. Thank you, Asher from Sorrento.
