The food was mediocre at best. Not much veggie options. The eggs were powder eggs... it was free so we can't really complain, but I wouldn't have paid for it that's for sure.

Didn't realize that with a reservation there would be such a long lineup to get in. I would get there before your reservation time to get in on time. The buffet had good variety and the Monte Cristo sandwich was excellent.

The quality was not the best, but the selection was good and price reasonable. Considering that this is for the kids, then it is more then adequate. I just remember the food being much better prior to the pandemic, but also costing more.

Sensory overload! This place was completely packed, total chaos. And I sympathize with the people working there - it must be terrible. That said, if it wasn't serving free breakfast with a hotel stay it would be a crime to make someone pay. There were no plates or silverware available. The lemonade was water. The juice machine was continuously leaking quite a bit of water but still somehow made decent apple juice (but not OJ). The food was standard fare - some edible some not. Hard boiled eggs tasted weird. Strawberries were clearly recently thawed. The pork sausage was a hit! Scrambled eggs tasted like paper. Coffee bar was pretty bad. Honestly next time I think we will go offsite for breakfast or bring something light from the store because this place isn't worth the time or stress.

Make sure you book your reservation for the rest of your stay at Legoland Hotels. That is the recommendation. We always had breakfast between 7 to 7:30. There's always a wide selection of food. It's clean. Food tastes good.

Food was pretty ok for a place like this, the servers were exceptional, kids were happy. We enjoyed the burrata appetizer and the spicy shrimp pasta. The mango sorbet was pretty good too. The chocolate cake was like a bigger hostess hoho... I was disappointed in the use of disposable cups and silverware, a sit down restaurant should use proper dishes to reduce waste. Yes they are “compostable”, but the reality is that is it waste. Also didn't like drinking my $13 glass of wine out of a plastic cup like I'm at a frat party. Strangely my husband got an actual glass for his cocktail.

Better than expected for a themed restaurant. The food quality and presentation was great! Even the cocktails were impressive. Keep in mind this is not “affordable” or inexpensive, but the experience is worth it.

The service is always amazing during our visit. The food is fresh, the place is, surprisingly, clean, despite all the little hands touching everything (lol), the food is delicious (we look forward to the breakfast buffet and the dinner and drinks are yummy as well), and there are so many things to keep the kiddos entertained while waiting in line. The wait time can be very short, so long as you make reservations, at least, a day in advance.

No response when emailed the large party reservation email. Made two separate reservations, since more than 8 ppl in the reservation, and asked for them to be combined since for my son's birthday dinner. When arrived onsite the hostess was extremely rude and said that it was impossible to combine them or even seat us next to each other. The restaurant was wide open at the time, so I asked if we can move up our reservation and again the hostess was snarky at best, saying other people made reservations and she would not accommodate any changes to the reservations we made as they were super busy. Again, the restaurant was empty and the Legoland park was still open during the time we were requesting. I asked if I could speak to anyone else and she just looked at me, rolled her eyes and walked away. She never came back. I left, decided to door dash to the hotel and set up my son's birthday dinner outside instead of paying somewhere near $500 for dinner when I received such disrespectful behavior. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, and as a travel advisor, will steer many clients away from the castle hotel at Legoland.

Food needs work. Very cool experience but food was not very good. Drinks also not made as good as bar at the other hotel. Service was okay no one really checked in often but that's ok

The service was great, staff was excellent and very helpful and friendly. The food was not good, we had breakfast there but food lacked taste and flavor and most items were dry, bland tasting and we would not recommend or coke back for dinner.

Slightly above average resort buffet. They have at least one special interesting item on the weekends like monte cristo or pork tacos, both very good. The coffee is horrendous though. Environment is very cool with all the LEGO decorations.

Always enjoy dinner here,but when asked for a whole cake for my sons birthday waitress immediately said you know it's $40 ,this was the second time someone treated us as if we couldn't pay that price,we had a party of 8 people n did not just want 1 slide of cake...

Absolutely terrible service, our server ignored us almost the entire meal. We had very few requests - water and condiments. We were there over an hour and no refills at all until we flagged down a manager. Then it took yet another 20 minutes. Captive audience, but eat anywhere else!!!

It was over the top expensive for what we ordered. Food was okay. Definitely skip dessert-it was terrible. Service was good. Ambiance is what we were looking for and expecting friendly and fun.
