Magic Keys Terrace is a great addition to DCA. I hope they keep this place around. 4 stars only because of the wait, and when we got upstairs, they seemed confused to find us a spot.The server was nice and service quick. The food was excellent, and I can't wait to try more. What is great about Terrace is that it feels completely separate from the park. A little escape from the noise and crowds.

If you consider yourself a Foodie then it's no surprise that you've been here! Next to Lamplight Lounge in DCA, this is a must to receive amazing food from Cast Members that serve well!You might be thinking, I'm not a Magic Keyholder! That's ok, as long as ONE of your party guests is a current Magic Key Holder and is present the whole time, to quote "Wayne's World", "Party on!"I have been through two menu cycles since their menu changes throughout the year and every food item I've experienced, or friends have had, has left us dreaming of more!Everything about this place is amazing from the food to the staff to the views! Definitely put this on tour list of places to eat!

Have you ever been to a place and the staff was rude right off the bat and immediately ruined your experience? That’s what happened to us here. We were waiting in line wanted to buy a food festival item. The lady in front of us walked away, as I’m walking up to the server (Alexis), I was tearing off my PREPAID food tab right in front of her. I approach and order and before I can finish, very rudely she says, “I can’t accept that, you’ve torn it off, I need to tear it off”. No where does it say this in it by the way. So immediately it put us on the defensive because we have already paid for these tabs. And they weren’t cheap. Plus the way she said it and her delivery was such that she was tired of customers and was way combative. First time to Sonoma Terrace, we are Magic Key Annual Passholders and Sonoma Terrace forever holds a bad taste in our mouth because of the server Alexis. Very much not up to Disney quality staff.

The impossible meatball flatbread was delicious. It looks like it has way too much garlic, but it's wonderfully balanced.

Great sliders but too expensive and poor service.

Great spot to relax and have a glass of wine or a beer while you people watch.

I like to give the benefit of the doubt when it comes to writing reviews, didn't want to be super skeptical about other reviews but it seems like they are right. Our Server Marcy passes our table proceeds to ask other tables if they're ok but passes thru us like we are not there. Seems like they have more time to make conversation. Than to ask if you need any help with anything else. Food an drinks are great but not servers are not the best.
Bad service, mediocre food and had to wait an extra 30 minutes with a reservation. There are tables available inside, but servers are busy just hanging out. Ordered sliders and charcuterie plate; fruit on plate was soggy and pretty sad-looking. Our server got us a couple bucks off for the sad-looking charcuterie plate which was really appreciated, but I'd still definitely recommend going to other restaurants/lounges in the park. My theory is the servers may be tired of some of the uptight, demanding "Magic Key" holders, but the experience was really underwhelming and just feels like another failure of the parks' "customer service."

Been here for lunch before and wonderful. But this time had lunch at Magic Key Terrace Restaurant above this place. Limited offerings for munchies but was top notch and staff super attentive.

Nice shaded patio. Food was ok. Had some weird things on it, I wasn't a fan of. But overall ok. Feel like the menu could be better. Drinks were also ok. Disney drinks are always a bit sweet for me, but for many I know it's what they like. Nice view of that part of the park. And did I mention shaded. Will make reservations again

Great place to dine at Disney's California adventure. You're sitting upstairs surrounded by beautiful vegetation dining al fresco. The food was also surprisingly very good. You just have to be a pass holder to dying there.
