I have been coming to this bar/restaurant for about 20 years at least and it never fails to amaze me. Wonderful staff, great drinks and always chill. And excellent food. The NY is always delicious but pizza, everything is great. Today I had Seffy as my bartender and I believe Jenny and she made the most delicious Empress Gin/lavender/limoncello cocktail ever. 10 out of 5 stars!!!! Excellent

Overall, this is a nice restaurant with plenty of choices. As with anything in Disney, it can be expensive to eat here. Service is nothing special, but the bar opens at 4 pm.

Surprisingly sub-par overall. I made reservations here because my family was going to Disneyland for one day and we wanted to go somewhere nice and splurge a little to experience food we don't normally go for. The prices are high but that wasn't an issue, I expected to pay a little more for a unique experience. The tragedy here was the quality of what was brought out. I got the Black Truffle Macaroni & Cheese and added chicken for $15, making the meal overall just over $43. The chicken was so dry I couldn't even choke it down without begging for some Ranch dressing (which was actually delicious—they have a unique Ranch sauce that's light and refreshing). The Mac & Cheese itself was okay but I have no idea what the truffles added (if anything) and it was just a huge glob of overcooked noodles and very thick sauce, so thick I was adding my ranch dressing to it near the end just so my mouth wouldn't dry out. My aunt's homemade Mac & Cheese beats this any day and I was sorely missing it during this meal. The consensus from the rest of my party was that the meat was fairly dry and nothing to write home about (One had the chicken sandwich on Brioche, the other had the beef sandwich on Focaccia). The only meal that was well-reviewed was the Sea Bass, which my cousin loved, and thank goodness since it was the priciest ($45) so it would have been extra disappointing if that was bad. The alcoholic drinks were so-so; some tasted like medicine, some were sweet, all were small and the wine wasn't worth entertaining (splurge or not, $20/glass for mediocre wine is just silly). The lemonade was basically just simple syrup with a dash of lemon juice—don't order it unless your blood sugar is low and you need a boost ASAP. Overall I just wasn't impressed. We were the second people seated and ordered before the bar even filled up so how and why was the chicken dry and overcooked like it had been sitting under a heating lamp? The menu is tiny and efficient and there are hardly any options vs. many other gourmet restaurants so how can they justify not doing everything in their limited selection well? Being brought lukewarm water and forgotten about a few times by the server didn't help but I would have forgotten those peccadillos in a second if the food was actually good. On the way in the hotel manager saw us and said the entire menu had been changed recently; I wonder if that was really a good decision?

A wonderful replication of the wilderness lodge in Disney World! Great routine, and if you are lucky you will get couch seating. Drunks range from 13.00 to 2200.00 (amazing bourban).

Chorizo poutine was delicious as well as the citrus-habenero wings. Received a portion far bigger than expected. They even had themed Star Wars drinks. Setting was relaxing and a great getaway from the crowd.

I want to thank Nick, who I believe was the manager there for the restaurant. The rain cancelled our reservation at another bar there, but he helped us get to the lounge. It was an amazing experience with such amazing food! The staff was so kind and they even brought our 1 year old a cupcake for his birthday! Please take time out of your Disney visit and enjoy this beautiful place!

Definitely a nice little spot to relax and catch up with friends or family. We decided to come by for birthday drinks and try an off menu item. It was a cute IG drink called Friend like me and also a villain themed drink. The waitress is someone we had before and she is very sweet and helpful. She offered us almonds and olives as snacks along with a cute birthday button! No food this time around just great talks and drinks. Off menu drinks are not made by every bartender so they are hit and miss.

So cold!! Every time we eat here the food is good, and the service is great! However the air temp is so cold! They even offer blankets….
My daughter & I came and it was our First time here! The food was good! I ordered a hearthstone burger with steak fries & iced tea. She ordered a parmesan crusted grilled cheese with steak fries. We also ordered garlic patmesan dough twists with white cheese & marinara sauce. The waiter was friendly and attentive but the food took a little longer than anticipated. The food was tasty and good quantity. The atmosphere was a little noisey but it was a Saturday evening.

The perfect spot to get away from the big crowds, relax, and have good food/drinks. We got seated immediately but there's also an option to wait in line for the bar area and get your drink to go. We ordered an exclusive drink called 'The First Order' and the presentation was immaculate, however the taste was mediocre. It had an odd spice that overpowered the taste of the drink. I also got a mocktail that was delicious! I loved that they had that option because after the Food & Wine Festival I was done drinking for the day and just wanted a good drink without alcohol. As for food, we ordered a charcuterie board and 2 desserts and everything was amazing! I'd definitely come back without hesitation.

Decided to try this Lounge on one of our Disney trips. We decided to stick to an appetizer, drinks and a dessert. We ordered the cheese board, a Blackberry Bamble, and The First order, Cookie Butter Creme Brûlée and Apple Tart. All the food was really good. The drinks were not the best. The blackberry had very little flavor and the First order had a very prominent spice that made it really over powering. The cheese board and desserts however were very tasty. All the board selections were delicious and complemented each other well. The Creme brûlée was just sweet enough and the apple tart came with ice cream that made it even better. Service was great. Didn't wait to be seated, so I think we went at a great time. It was a very chill spot to relax and enjoy.

We stayed at Disney's Grand Californian hotel and dinner reservations for any of the nights because reservations that when we called the hotel to ask they said they also had lounge didn't take reservations. We ended up eating there two of our three nights and we were thrilled with it. Our favorite was the Parmesan crusted grilled cheese, the charcuterie pizza, the garlic dough bites, the Wagyu burger. My husband loved that they had a whiskey library and tried some of their fun craft cocktails and I enjoyed wine from their wine menu. I would say it's not super friendly for kids and on the expensive side but when you're staying at the hotel you kind of expect that. So if you forget to make plans and you want a quick bite and you're staying at the hotel, you can't beat the Hearthstone lounge. We had great service and one of the nights they said us in these cozy little chairs in a corner it was so cute! They brought out a birthday cupcake for my husband too.
