Ariel's Grotto

Table service

Description

A three-course, fixed-price meal for adults and children, hosted by The Little Mermaid's Ariel and her "beachcombing Disney friends." (Note that this restaurant is no longer operated by Wolfgang Puck, as it was when California Adventure opened and it was called Avalon Cove.)

Depending on the season, you will either get great service or mediocre service from both the characters and the servers. Pretty good food, and great views, but there have been a few instances of gnats at the outdoor seating. Hit or miss, but when they're on point, it's great. - Brandon Mendoza

A real disappointment. This lunch cost $118 with an additional $30 for pictures, and the chldren are offered macaroni and cheese? Where were the steaks? Aurora wasn't there, the one we came to see. The princesses were genial and quick on the uptake to answer quesitons. Food was mediocre, decor tawdry, and I wouldn't do it again. Compared to Goofy's Kitchen, this one was a bomb. - DOCTOR WHEELER
