I have been here a few times, but this was my first time in 3 years. I felt the menu was hard, but now it has changed and it’s so much better. The Brussels Caesar was so good we want to come back just to get them. The potato skins were also very special. The drink menu is fun and there are so many options. I will say, I feel like it is not as decorated and special as I remember, not sure if it’s leaning more toward adults and lounge style(it’s in the name duh) but it’s definitely less cute and exciting than I remember. I would still come again though!

4 of us came during the Lunar New Year celebration at Disney California Adventure. We tried all 3 special dish: Lunar Cocktail, Coconut Pandan Donut, and Chef's Special Mongolian Beef with noodles. Reservation process is quite streamlined, make the reservation using the app, then 10 minutes prior, check in on the app and once the table is ready we receive a text message. Prices are high but normal Disney level. The lunar cocktail is very sweet 6/10. The Thai Seafood Pasta is quite spicy with small portion 7/10 The Mongolian Beef noodles is actually quite tasty with good portion 8/10 The Coconut Pandan Donuts (5 pieces) are not good at all (4/10).

We had a reservation here, and it’s a good place to come to rest and have a drink. We ordered the peachy vibes beer and the blue ocean beverage. The peachy vibes beer was really good, it was a refreshing beer with a nice subtle peach flavor. The blue ocean drink tasted similar to a blue icee at the theater, but with alcohol. Next time I visit here, my husband and I will probably both get the peachy vibes beer. The potato skins were very good. The burger was decent, my husband did not care for it though. My recommendation is to come here for some drinks and appetizers. We did have great customer service.

We got to sit on the water with a great view. My food was good even though the picture looks just okay. It was nice having a real cheeseburger in the theme park and not just a frozen patty heated up.

Great restaurant to escape from the heavy foot-traffic of the Disney Parks. The seasonal donuts were a hit for brunch. The Brunch Burger was recommended, but I found it to be a bit underwhelming. The bun was stale and the burger patty was overcooked. It was stilly tasty, but for a burger in the mid-$20 range it wasn't worth it to me. The service was excellent and overall this place a great option for full-service dining in the park.

That Food was really good flavor! We got the chicken and the hamburger. The mashed potatoes tasted amazing, the reason I gave 4 stars was cause I felt like you loose so you your full serving. For example for potatos with my chicken and you get like 3 oz of potato’s. Where did the rest of the potato go. But the food tasted amazing!!

The potato skins were pretty good, nothing out of the ordinary. Service, atmosphere, and view were great! Steph was very nice! Be careful when making your reservations because there is a Lamplight Lounge downstairs and a Lamplight Lounge Boardwalk upstairs and they have completely different menus.

Wow. This restaurant was not the experience we were expecting. We were seated outside despite our best attempts to get seated indoors and 2 words…overstimulating and loud. Repetitive elevator type music playing so loud we could barely hear each other’s conversation. Then…we sat at our table for at least 15 minutes with zero service. No drink service, nothing. That is until Izzy, a person who was not the waitperson normally allocated to our table, saved the day. Izzy was warm, friendly, responsive and made our dining experience really great. It’s such a shame because the person who then took the check and received the tip (not him) was none of these things. We tried to find Izzy before we left to personally thank him but he must have been on a break. Food was absolutely exceptional and despite the atmosphere and initial service hiccup, we would return.

My most recent visit to Lamplight Lounge was… still good, but perhaps a little less magical than I would have liked. For starters, we had issues with the walk-in waitlist. We had a party of 7, and even though we were trying to enter as soon as the waitlist opened, we could not queue for a party of 7 on the app. We were, however, able to queue for a party of 3 and 4. We then asked if we could combine those tables to seat 7, which we could. So I don’t understand why it was so difficult to queue for 7 people on the app. I am, however, grateful to the staff for making it happen. This was also my first time sitting upstairs instead of in the downstairs Lamplight Lounge - Boardwalk Dining area. I wish there was a separate Yelp page for the downstairs dining area, because my experience there has been 5 stars every time. A notable difference in these two seating areas is menu variety. Unlike its downstairs counterpart, the upstairs Lamplight Lounge lacks an entree section in its menu. In lieu of this, they have the lobster nachos, a dish that is exclusive to upstairs. I thought the lobster nachos could have been better. The flavors were good, but the chips were a bit stale. The drinks, on the other hand, were good as always. I always get the Fun Wheel cocktail, which is colorful and delightful. Mostly everyone else remarked that they liked their drinks as well. Service was.. Ok. A little less peppy than I was used to, but decent still. We had a nice view of the Pixar Pal-A-Round from our table upstairs, but honestly, I think I prefer sitting downstairs on the Boardwalk. You still get a nice view of the ferris wheel downstairs, the ambiance is a little livelier, and you get to eat real meals.

We did the Boardwalk outside dining option which requires a separate reservation and has a different menu. Note that this could give you one of many seating types depending on what is available when you arrive. Some parties get high tops or bar seating, while some get standard tables or couches which could very much affect your experience. I didn’t feel like the drinks were all too special but did enjoy the lobster nachos which were plenty of food for 2 or 3 people. I would probably skip doing the outdoor dining again as we were still in the sun and kept hearing the Incredicoaster launch announcement every 30 seconds during our meal.

Service was excellent. Views were spectacular. But the burger that I got wasn’t too impressive. It was kinda dried out. Our reservation was at 7:20 and we were able to stay and watch World of Color that started at 9.

We had a reservation for Dinner. The drinks were refreshing and not too strong. The pork chops were cooked perfectly. The service was great. The views were amazing. We got our food fast and it was hot and fresh. It’s a little pricey but good and service are worth a visit. The restrooms are very clean. Ten out of ten recommend checking it out.

It's pouring rain and they are making everyone wait outside. The hosts are rude, but warm and dry in the very spacious foyer. When I asked if I could check us in early, the host (who treated the front door like a bouncer) allowed myself to go in and made the other 2 in our party wait outside. When I approached the desk, the taller host was very sweet while the other informed me they weren't taking early check ins. I totally get it, i'm sure everyone with a reso was hoping to do the same. So back out into the rain we went. We were sat 10 minutes after our checked in time. They were going sit us outside... because the lounge is mostly outside, but covered. They were kind enough to accommodate my request to stay inside. So beware- the pic that is used to represent the Lounge is deceiving. I will say, since they have quite a bit of unused space in the foyer they probably could put several 2 tops for dining. They have an impossible burger, but not oat or almond milk.... and apparently not coffee mugs. Order coffee and a cocktail- no water offered. Our server was an order taker, not a person of service. The bao bun and potato skins were delicious, came out quick, hot and flavorful. Kitchen seems well run. Maybe the Chef knows a front of house manager... We ordered 2 apps- no side plates- We waited for our server so we could ask for some. She was obviously put out. Not check back on food quality. Melvin the server assistant, was doing a great job clearing plates and was very pleasant. Andrew, the server next to us was also doing a great job with the table next us. He was engaging and stayed close to his tables. We ordered the rosemary lemon chicken, the impossible burger and regular burger. Our silver had been cleared, so we had to wait for our server to come back and ask for it, along with more drinks and water. The food was good. Not exceptional, but good. In conclusion..... dont waste your time or money here.

LACKLUSTER LOUNGE Service was spotty and we were being rushed to finish/pay at 8pm when we had a 7:30 reservation. I was even told the soda machine was closed when I asked for a refill of my Diet Coke at 7:50. Server did find me a Diet Coke when I pushed back… The lobster nachos are super overrated, as the chips were so stale I only ate the toppings. Gf daughter’s cauliflower was soggy likely due to oil in fryer not being hot enough. Since you can no longer dine there for WOC, it’s not worth making a res.

Apparently its 2 different restaurants. Downstairs dining the first day. There's no nacho lobsters down there. Food was good, it just takes awhile to get. Which im fine with if you keep up on the drinks. Which they didnt. Finished my ordered beverage, my water and my coffee. Sat empty the whole meal until we got our check. 2nd day did the upstairs dining. Lobster nachos were great, and service was better, but you can't order coffee upstairs. Even though its on the menu. Terrible engagement anniversary experience.

Wow they really reduced the menu...got Thai pasta and Onion blossom. They arrived at the same time cold! THE ONION IS an appetizer! The pasta was so gross seafood not fresh at all. The onion you could not pull apart, cool and stuck together. Got it exchanged for roasted squash panzanella. That salad was pretty good. This place has really changed from a great place to eat to a bar with sub standard food. So disappointed!!
