California Grill

Set on the 15th floor of Disney's Contemporary Resort, this restaurant flaunts a dramatic setting complete with a bird's eye view of the Magic Kingdom. While the décor may feel a dash dated, a stunning open kitchen and wall of glass offering breathtaking vistas lend an updated feel. The contemporary menu demonstrates clear Californian leanings with local inflections, like Florida citrus, as well as the occasional Asian inspiration, like short rib wontons or sushi. The cheese board is a thrill, while desserts run the gamut—imagine a Grand Marnier-laced crème brûlée with candied kumquats. Cocktails, sake and wine flights are a balm for Mouse-weary adults.
Reservations can be challenging with slots booking out 60 days in advance, so plan accordingly.
