I'll say it's more sliced steak than roast beef, but I imagine that's beside the point.Thanks, we go for food and ambiance, not the characters. I do love Living with the Land - just not crazy about roast beef.

We tried it twice. We weren't impressed the first time, but will always give restaurants another shot later. The character interaction was very nice both times. The characters came over many times. The food just isn't that great. Although it's "all you can eat", the waitress was noticeably unhappy when she had to bring over more food. She gave my husband an index card with some sarcastic comment about being a champion meat eater. He's honestly not a big eater. I don't know what the big deal was except we asked to have more than the one plate. We've asked at LTT too and it's never an issue there.
We had a wonderful meal at Sunshine Seasons and will go back there again. There was a wonderful variety of tasty, hot food and it's a pretty and exciting pavilion in which to dine.
They bring you all the food like Ohana. There's a salad course but it's not a bar.Is there a menu you choose from or do they just bring you the food (like 'Ohanas)? Is there a salad bar? I thought I saw one in some pics and that would appeal to my husband.
If you want something a little more exotic at a lower price, Sunshine Seasons in the same pavilion is quite good.
The location near the soon to be dead fish creeps me out to much to venture out and try it.
We ate dinner there last year, end of April. We paid around $160 for 3 adults + tip. No adult drinks or anything additional was purchased from the menu.1. I don't know where you got that price, but no, it's not $60. It's about $40, with fluctuations due to seasonality.
2. Character meals all carry a price premium above and beyond the value of the food. Crystal Palace breakfast is $30 for pancakes.
3. I'm not sure what you're getting at with "ordinary American food." Not every menu is going to be exotic like Boma or Marrakesh. Yes, it's turkey, fish, and roast beef, but that doesn't mean it's not delicious. If your goal is exotic, then no Garden Grill would not be worth it for you.
Are you disagreeing or agreeing? With tax and tip, $160 total would be right around the $40 per person I stated.We ate dinner there last year, end of April. We paid around $160 for 3 adults. No adult drinks or anything additional was purchased from the menu.
That is just a few bucks more than the peak price for 3 adults and a 15% tip.We ate dinner there last year, end of April. We paid around $160 for 3 adults. No adult drinks or anything additional was purchased from the menu.
that was without the tip. Sorry should have been more clear. What I meant was that we went in "moderate crowds/price" season and the price was close to "peak" season. It costs more than $40-$45 per person, from my experience.Are you disagreeing or agreeing? With tax and tip, $160 total would be right around the $40 per person I stated.
It is directly over Living On The Land, on that ride you go through greenhouses where they farm fish and crocodiles that will be eaten in Disney Parks...Please explain...

Let me ask y'all this, would you rather eat at Garden Grill or Via Napoli? (Or, are they too different to compare?)
Last I ate here the restaurant went by a different name and wasn't infested with characters yet. But I do remember how great it was to just sit there and slowly revolve around the LwtL scenes. ^_^Oh yeah, that's the reason why I want to eat there. I love Living with the Land!

Everything else about the place may be overpriced and under quality, but that one unique aspect remains. If LwtL is your thing - and it is easily the second best ride in EPCOT after SSE! - then I'd give it a try.
Also, for me the American fare they serve is part of the attraction. Why, it ties in nicely with the farm and the locally produced foods.
....if you ask nicely when there is barely anybody there, you can take a walk around the restaurant and see the show scenes from above without actually eating there....I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't care about the characters lol. My whole reasoning for going there would be LwtL and I like the idea of locally grown foods. I still say it's a lot of money for the type of food it is. Such decisions...
