Back in the beginning of BOG, the lunch french dip and onion soup was a big surprise. We had tried dinner there when it first opened and were underwhelmed. We tried lunch and loved it. We used to try to go for lunch every trip after that. But since they changed the format of the restaurant, we haven't been back since.
BOG has had such a strange lifecycle and I feel like it has settled in to its current state, which I would (perhaps generously) label mediocrity, by equal parts traditional Disney cost cutting and traditional Disney pandering to the lowest palate denominator.
When it started it really seemed like they were going for an elevated French-inspired cuisine (it was still Disney, the middle American sensibilities still had to be considered). The menu was more varied and even earlier versions of the prix fixe had some slightly more adventurous fare. Seems like between cost considerations and analytics that likely showed the most Americanized dishes were most popular they devolved to the current cruise ship experience.
