I am thinking of booking the California Grill for my DH and I for our May trip. We are on the dining plan so I just did a quick calculation of what we would eat (appetizer, entree, and dessert). Total comes to $97 plus tax and tip. Considering this will take 4 of our ts credits - do you think it is worth it?
Tax on about 100 would be 6.50 plus a 15 % tip. Did you add the drinks? If so chalk up another 5 bux.
I'd say that total would come to about $124 which would be $31 per credit.
Yes. It would be over the threshold of getting full value out of your credits.
For adults. I figure the snack and counter are worth about $11 together so that leaves the threshold of about $27 per sit down credit to get your value out.
Hope that helps.
We found it was worth it. But to be honest, if you're not going to do a fireworks time, I would suggest heading over to Spoodles. It's got as good of food, (we actually thought it was better at Spoodles) and it's only one credit.
But if you do go to CA Grill realize a few things going in.
1. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic, formal type atmosphere, this isn't it.
The noise level was significantly louder than we expected. It wasn't louder than your average Disney establishment. People were very well behaved as where the kids. It's just that with an open kitchen and not much to deaden the noise, it gets loud.
2. You might not get a table with a view unless you ask for it and are willing to wait.
3. If you're lookiing for speed, this isn't it. Service is very pedestrian. Though you might ask em to hoop it up if you're in a hurry.
