Having recently returned from the new Fantasyland we had the pleasure of dining at Be Our Guest for Dinner.  This reservation was a tough one to get our hands on but was well worth the effort and I can easily say it is now the BEST Table Service option within the Magic Kingdom!  The restaurant is also transformed into a Quick Service dining option during lunch but we did not get the chance to try it out.

Upon arriving at Be Our Guest I was immediately pleased at how immersive the experience is.  You must first cross the bridge with the Beasts Castle looming overhead and gargoyles guarding along your way.  You are taken into the main lobby area when your table is ready and from there will be seated in either the West Wing, the Ballroom, or the Rose Gallery.   For our visit we were seated in the Ballroom and I was truly astonished with how massive and breathtaking this space was!  The Imaginears did an amazing job of duplicating the Beast’s Ballroom from the movie.  Every detail, the painted murals on the ceiling, the sparkling chandeliers, the tiled floors, and even the snow falling from the balcony window outside.

The tables were lit romantically and each table setting had a beautiful napkin arranged in the shape of a rose.  This would be a great place to celebrate an anniversary or special occasion!  As it was I had a table with a 4 and 6 year old, who were eyeing the dessert cart parked next to us.

For Dinner I, and many others ordered the Pan Seared Salmon on Leek Fondue, two others ordered the Grilled Strip Steak with Garlic Butter Spread and Pommes Frites.  Those who ordered the Salmon all agreed that this dish was a knockout!  It was cooked to perfection and the leek fondue with Saffron potatoes was amazing.  I can easily say that this was the best meal I had during our entire trip, I’m still dreaming about that Salmon!  There were conflicting reports on the Strip Steak though.  One said that it was cooked perfectly and the other said it was a bit tough and gristly.

The kids ordered the Grilled Steak and the Whole-Grain Macaroni.  The steak was a winner and both brother and sister helped out with that.  The macaroni was not a hit, but it had been a long day and neither of the kids were very hungry. Well, at least until the dessert cart pulled up!  Each table is served by a dessert cart that is filled with a selection of assorted cupcakes and crème puffs.  I am not a big crème puff or cupcake girl so I wasn’t too excited for the options however they did a great job on all of the choices in the cart.  Each crème puff was filled to the brim with passion fruit, lemon meringue, or chocolate crème.  And our strawberry cupcakes had some of the ripest and freshest strawberries I‘ve had in a long time.  Most of us took our desserts to go since dinner was so delicious. Which we then got out to snack on while watching Wishes!

Halfway through the meal the Beast walked through all of the dining rooms and announced that he would be in the library available for a meet and greet once you had finished your meal.  I don’t know if this is a limited time opportunity but I hope the restaurant keeps this around!  It was a quick and easy way to get some great pictures with a character and the kids all loved it.

Overall I give this restaurant a 10 out of 10.  The atmosphere was amazing and the majority of us were really pleased with our food with most of us agreeing it was the best meal of the trip.  So next time you are in the World make sure to make some ADRs for Be Our Guest!
