Cafe Orleans!

Being a three day weekend, we stopped by the park tonight and for the first time in quite a few years, enjoyed dinner at Cafe Orleans. Last time we visited there, it was relatively simple cuisine, nothing overly fancy, just a comfortable place to take the family.
Now however, reservations are requested, immediate seating is sometimes available, and the dinning is full service via a very well trained crew. Pretty big change, but all that said, it was quite enjoyable!
My wife enjoyed the Ratatouille with French Onion Soup and I had the Creole Style Chicken Caesar Salad with Gumbo.
Approx. cost was $23.00 per person with soup, drink, and entree.
Service was efficient, our waitress took the time to make sure everything was prepared correctly. It was a beautiful night, so dinning on the patio was splendid. Formal dinners at the club are exceptionally enjoyable, but for a nice rather low stress evening out, I would highly recommend Cafe Orleans.
A huge number of guests were ordering the Monte Cristo and I heard a number of them commenting on how tasty it proved to be. OK, maybe next time we'll try that!
Honestly, the brains behind Disneyland Food Services appear to be putting a great deal of effort on improving park food. While yes, the prices are a bit higher than similar restaurants outside the park, one does not mind paying a slightly higher price for the park's unchallenged ambiance. Enjoy!
