I went with my family to Be Our Guest for the first time yesterday and thought it was mediocre at best. We had 4 sit down meals in our two days at Disney, and it was, by far, the worst.
We ate at Chefs de France the night before and it was cheaper, better French food, with a more enjoyable ambiance.
We ate at Chef Mickeys for breakfast, and while the food is nothing to write home about, the characters make up for it.
We ate at California Grill and while more expensive, the location, service, and quality of food made it a perfect night.
The food at Be Our Guest was fine, but wasn’t 250 dollars for a family of four good. We were seated in the main hall in the table closest to the entrance. If you hadn't said anything I wouldn't have known the theming was Beauty and the Beast. We went to peak at the other two rooms which were much better themed. The Beast made what seemed like a 15 second appearance from a distance. I'd argue that Gaston's Tavern offers a better experience, with better theming, and better food.
