Had a great experience. Maria was amazing!! We usually go to Goofy's, its pretty similar. But they don’t have a photo booth to take pictures. Look forward to coming back here again.

Dinner buffet was a great treat for the adults and kids! We loved the variety and fresh ingredients. Felt satisfied and happy after eating semi quick/unhealthy foods for a whole day inside the Adventure park. Totally recommend!

We went here to get a little taste of Disney while on vacation in Cali for spring break. Last time we went to Disneyland we went to Goofys Kitchen and didn't have the best experience. This was so much better. We didn't have to chase down characters or wait for hours to see them. I think their outfits are so fun and unique. The food options were much better here in my opinion and they seemed a lot more fresh. They had a wide array of fruits and meats. As well as lots of pastries for breakfast. I do wish their dessert section had some more options. The cast members where friendly and quick. I wish the price wasn't so steep, but when you go to Disney, that's just what you should be expecting.

I don’t know how often the cast members and crew check reviews but I just had to thank them for such an incredible experience for my family. My son is on the autism spectrum and this was the perfect way for him and his little sister to have a personal experience with the characters. Mickey stole the show and made us feel so welcomed and loved. I know they see countless families and the job can be exhausting but this is a memory we will never forget. Thank you from the bottom of my mom heart. It truly made our trip.

We've gone a few times now, and every time has been fantastic. I learned on our last visit that I prefer the lunch options versus the breakfast. It's on the expensive side, but the service is stellar, and the characters and the smiles from my kid are _amazing_. His favorite is Minnie followed by Pluto (thank you Pluto for always letting him give you the biggest hugs!). For lunch there are a variety of meats (chicken, beef, and salmon) as well as lots of veggies (roasted and raw). Plenty of variety in the sweets/pastries as well.

Food was overall decent, very surprised by their pasta. Creamy and delicious. Mashed potatoes were great. Their pork belly was awesome: juicy and flavorful. Bbq chicked was overcooked. Salmon was a little overdone. Their shrimp was well marinated/seasoned. Salad was decent. Shining star was the desserts! Were really yummy but not at all overly sweet. We had a very nice waitress, always good about refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything. Noise was pretty average given it's a buffet. It's not a bad place but a tad pricey. Would I come back? Maybe on a special occasion, but not on a regular basis.

Do not reserve after 1pm!! No where in the website tells you the place closes down at 2pm. I reserved 1:10pm by the time we got seated there was only 35 min left to see the characters and eat. When they sat us down the characters were on the other side . When they finally came to our side the worker mentioned they will be leaving so take any last pictures. $500 down the drain .
First time eating at Storytellers Cafe. I will say that the food was mediocre and really would compare it to any other buffet style restaurant. The problem is how much it costs to eat here. For two adults and a 5 year old it was roughly $180. This is a price one would see at a five star restaurant not a buffet. The only saving grace for the price is that it is a buffet and one could technically get as much as possible. The ambiance was alright, but it was fairly messy at the food line. A lot of items were empty and we had to wait for plates and food to be replenished. Overall we most likely will not come back.

Went for brunch today before heading to the park. It's my autistic 6 year old's birthday an he loves pancakes. Once we were there, we found out that unfortunately,this place does not serve pancakes. He's finally gotten into meeting the disney characters since last year. Before he wouldn't care. But now that he does, what better place to go. Or so we thought. Food was decent. Our server was nice. We had issues with Minnie's reactions to our son's interactions with her. Or attempted interactions. The character seemed to not want anything to do with our son. I understand it can be awkward or confusing to deal with an animated autistic child, but this person really seemed to have no training. She ended the interaction by aggresively crossing her arms in an X motion towards us and walked away. This was probably a 10 second interaction total. Mickey and Dale were great with him. Seemed to handle him perfectly.

The characters are cute and make kids feel special! However, I had some sanitation concerns as the plates smelled very bad - like wet dog garbage - and the smell overpowered the food which was otherwise tasty. Time to deep clean the dishwashers!
