My daughter and I ate at Be Our Guest on Friday night. The big change we noticed was how long dinner took. It was two hours from the time we were seated until we were walking out the door, which was too long for my 7 year-old. I hope this time will become shorter as the staff becomes accustomed to the new changes.
The food (which I photographed and can’t upload here from my phone or iPad; will try again from home when I am back) was a change. A good change for me, although my daughter was disappointed she could no longer order pomme frites with her dinner. The rolls that came out seemed the same as before, which was slightly disappointing. I was hoping for something better from the signature experience. The rest of the food was really good. We are vegetarian so our food choice might not be too exciting. I had the field greens appetizer, which was very large and quite good. I liked the topping, which was a crunchy and slightly sweet seed "brittle". My dinner was the tortellini. The presentation was beautiful. It was very good, although nothing that truly stood out as exceptional. My daughter had the fruit and cheese appetizer and macaroni and cheese for dinner. I dislike the new pricing to the menu because we are vegetarian. I did not feel what we ordered was worth the price. Possibly I would feel differently if we ate meat. The vegetarian dinner, however, was not worth the $55.
The dessert was cute. I didn’t care for the macaron, oddly. Usually I love them. My daughter’s was a standard macaron with the “jam” consistency layer between the two halves. Mine had an oddly flavored (herbal or maybe mint, kind of? I can’t quite describe it) center with three real raspberries. My daughter didn’t want hers so I ate it instead of mine. The children’s dessert was very cute. It was a plate with grey stuff, a chocolate truffle, a macaron, a white chocolate Chip and some “paint” in the colors of the French flag for my daughter to paint chip! It even came with a (nonedible) paintbrush!
Overall, it was very nice not be rushed through dinner at Be Our Guest. In the past, our entrees would arrive after we had hardly touched the appetizers. I always felt like we were being hurried through dinner just so they could keep up a high turnover and seat more. This experience was completely different. We did not feel rushed at all. In fact, as I mentioned in the beginning, dinner felt like it took too long. Two hours was too long my daughter and felt long for me as well. Our reservation was at 5:00. We had almost no wait to be seated. We were finished and walking out the door (waited in a very short line to meet the Beast) at 7:00. The menu is a nice change. I enjoyed my dinner there but, especially as a vegetarian, did not feel it was worth the $55 price tag. I was able to use my Tables in Wonderland card for anyone interested.
I have more photos I will work on uploading once I am home. These are the ones I’m able to post from my phone. Apologies for the bite out of the macaron- my daughter was eager to try her dessert! The children’s dessert was photographed from across the table, so the side you aren’t able to see was facing my daughter.
