Spectacular. I had limited expectations due to the location but the entire experience was truly Spectacular. The service was incredible but friendly. The food was mind blowing. The wine pairing was perfect. The best dining experience we've ever had. Elizabeth the harpist was a highlight. So friendly and courteous. Couldn't recommend every staff member more. Magnificent!

Wow what an experience! We were blown away by the elegance, service, and of course the food and amazing wine pairing. I don’t know how they only have 1 Michelin star. They are definitely acting like a 2 Michelin star establishment. Beautiful from start to finish, unexpectedly one of the best dining experiences we could have ever asked for. Very accommodating for our friends who don’t do seafood, and also still catered to my adventurous palette. Loved every minute! The harpist was also a nice touch, as well as the semi-formal to formal dress code. I love getting dressed up and it made it that much more special!

Wonderful meal....from the moment you are seated and presented a personalized menu the evening exceeded all expectations of what to expect at this Disney Restaurant. By far the best meal and most exquisite service I have ever had.....multicourse meal with wine pairing. Wait staff well versed in the chef courses and knowledgeable with the sommelier chosen wine to go with each course. Meal can be 7 to 9 courses based upon chef choosing for the evening. Bu the end of the evening you feel full but not overly full. The total time for the meal was close to 4 hours. Which seemed to fly by. They did not rush you and made each person in our party feel special....my wife and I were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary.
I am posting some of the courses but not all as one should have some surprise at a venue such as this.
Yes it is expensive but worth every penny for this experience.

I love this place so much I've gone for years. But disappointed that chefs table can't accommodate any allergies. Was looking forward to that for my honeymoon. Still worth the experience, but for most people I see how it's a do it once experience. My partner doesn't like trying new foods like me so we go when we go to Disney so we have a nice night out and he tries stuff for me. This isn't for everyone but the music and food are an experience. My siblings think I'm crazy for going every so often but it's a treat.

As disappointed as I am about the chefs table, I'd still give the place 5 stars. It's still nice and though the other lvls don't do much special anymore after Covid it's still an experience I think is nice to have.
My fiancée and me had special nights here, he was gonna propose here. I'm thankful he didn't only because......don't hide a ring in my food or drink. I know some people find it cute.....I'm a surgical assistant, that screams unsanitary so no. And this place is so quiet and gentle.....it's not the place I'd have wrapped my arms around him for a kiss the way I did in animal kingdom.

Amazing experience at Victoria & Albert’s! I finally found the perfect time to go and was lucky enough to secure a reservation. The restaurant is located inside the Grand Floridian Hotel.

From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. We were greeted by name without even having to introduce ourselves and escorted into the dining room, passing a harpist who happily takes song requests. We reserved a table in the exclusive Queen’s Room, which accommodates only four couples per night. The hostess carefully unfolded our napkins and placed them in our laps, and on the table was a personalized birthday menu with my name printed at the top—a wonderful touch. We chose the nine-course Chef’s Tasting Menu, beautifully outlined with each course described in detail.

Our servers, Sherry and Matt, were outstanding. Sherry began by helping us select water from an iPad featuring a collection of international bottled waters—such a unique experience. We also opted for the wine pairing, which began with a glass of bubbly. Each pour, about two ounces, complemented its corresponding course perfectly.

The meal itself was extraordinary. Every course was unique, layered with complex flavors, and presented with incredible artistry. Sherry and Matt explained each dish and its wine pairing in detail, adding to the experience. The wines were exceptional as well. After two decadent dessert courses, we enjoyed coffee brewed tableside using a gravity siphon—such a fascinating presentation. To top it all off, we were sent home with a selection of dessert treats.

Overall, the service and attention to detail were beyond impressive. It’s easy to see why Victoria & Albert’s is so highly acclaimed and boasts a Michelin star. Be prepared for the cost: the Chef’s Tasting Menu is $375 per person, with wine pairings at $200 each. The dress code is formal, so plan accordingly. This was truly one of the best meals and dining experiences I’ve ever had—I highly recommend it!

There are several other dinner destinations in the Orlando area which provide a much more enjoyable experience and higher quality food for the same price. Unfortunately wouldn’t recommend Victoria and Albert’s to anyone. Two of the dishes were very tasty, but most left us disappointed. The wine pairing included good wines, but they did not complement or elevate the food in the way a wine pairing should.

Highly recommend Victoria and Albert's for those visiting Disney. The ambiance is beautiful with world class food. The service was impeccable. They even had a stool for my purse.

This is a one of a kind fine dining experience that is incomparable to anything we've ever experienced. World class service, exquisite food and wine and the staff still found a way to treat us like family. Special thanks to Chef Nathan for coming out and presenting our son with a signed Michelin star hat. An experience we will never forget

It seems like opinions about Disney’s Michelin star restaurant are split between the Disney die-hards who can only see it as magic and those who find the place overpriced for what it offers. As someone who finds a restaurant less appealing if visiting it requires me to brave the crowds and chaos of Orlando theme park land, please hear me when I say that this restaurant is awesome.

After waking up at 5:55am to unsuccessfully attempt to snag a reservation, we signed up for a free MouseDining account and—this is where the magic comes in—happened to score a reservation for the Queen Victoria room. One of our servers mentioned that calling and asking to be placed on the waitlist can be a good way to do it, but patience is required either way.

Arriving at the Grand Floridian, we had to wait in a line of cars to get through the security gate. This process took about 5 minutes. Security asked for a driver’s license and last name on the reservation before waving us on to the hotel valet. From there, the restaurant can be accessed on the second floor, down a hallway and to the left of the check in kiosk for another dining place. We were greeted by name and welcomed into the dining room and guided to our table. They had a small ottoman/stool set up which was super convenient for setting down a purse, sweater, etc. Such a nice touch! The seats were incredibly comfortable and the wallpaper is this beautiful, cushiony fabric with intricate details that helped to dampen some of the sound.

We were fortunate to have Jenna and James taking care of us, with visits from Maître d’hôtel Israel Pérez and other team members. The hospitality they extended to us was really incredible. From describing each dish or zero proof drink to answering questions with proud enthusiasm to the perfect balance of checking in on us and being there when we needed while otherwise giving us space to enjoy things, there’s really nothing more I could ask for.

Having tried a few fine dining tasting menus in Orlando, one thing that stands out about the dining experience (other than a live harpist!!) in the Queen Victoria room at Victoria & Albert’s is the portion sizes. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so full after a chef’s tasting menu, which may help to explain the price point beyond the “Disney tax,” so to speak. Each course offered more than just a bite or two; you get to really savor the dishes for a few minutes before hitting the bottom of the bowl.

Everything was prepared and plated with precision and skill. The creativity of each course stands out as well, with excellent zero proof pairings that enhance the flavor and complement everything from ingredients to colors and textures. Everything tasted fantastic, and they do such a great job of pacing the courses so that you get plenty of time to enjoy without feeling like you’re wondering when the next dish will arrive.

While our budget and (the near Olympic sport of securing reservations) really doesn’t allow us to visit more than like once a year, this is definitely somewhere I’d be thrilled to go to again in the future. Victoria & Albert’s deserves 2 Michelin stars for sure, and it’s no wonder they’ve been a AAA five diamond restaurant for so long. We went in with tempered expectations based on other reviews and just the Disney vibe that isn’t quite our thing, but we left feeling like our expectations had been far exceeded, in a bit more of a joyful Disney spirit than we’d probably care to admit ;)

What an incredible dining experience this turned out to be! From the atmosphere, the presentation, the wines, the food, the service, and the company, everything was perfect!

We were promptly greeted at the entrance of the restaurant and escorted to our table. Everyone there knew it was my wife's 40th birthday, and wished her a happy birthday.

The atmosphere was so relaxed and upscale with a phenomenal harp player who just made it better. The decor was beautiful and the personalized envelope with the menu inside a very nice gesture!

Our servers Matt and Christina truly went above and beyond to ensure that we had such an incredible dining experience! They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very personable!

The sommelier and GM Israel and Rado were both very attentive and courteous. The wine selection was insanely huge, and everything we tried was delicious. My wife ended up doing the wine pairing (additional $155), which was the equivalent to about 2 1/2 glasses. Great pairings, and bit pricey though.

Every courses we had were perfectly prepared with dietary needs for each of us. The plate presenations were spectacular and everything was delicious. My personal favorite had to be the Ox Tail, just AMAZING! My wife loved the lamb and my friend the Wagyu!

Yes, it is the most expensive dining experience in Orlando, but absolutely worth it. The attention to details is bar none, and the service is top notch. Two thumbs way up to the incredible team of Victoria & Albert's for such an outstanding evening!

If you're looking for a dining experience that truly goes above and beyond in Disney World, Victoria & Albert’s is the crown jewel! 🏆✨ This Michelin-star restaurant is like nothing else you’ll find on property—or anywhere, really. It's a one-of-a-kind experience from the moment you step inside.

The Food: Next-Level Gourmet
The food here is so magical, even Remy from Ratatouille would be impressed! 🧑‍🍳🐭 Every dish is prepared with such precision and creativity that it could easily be a showstopper in the kitchen of Gusteau’s. The Wagyu beef and teff macaroni were absolute highlights—so tender and rich that you might think Fairy Godmother sprinkled a little extra pixie dust over the plate. ✨ Trust me, you’ll be humming “Be Our Guest” after every bite. 🍽️🔥

Ambiance: Elegant and Magical
Victoria & Albert’s gives you that exclusive, magical Disney touch with a sophisticated twist, like Cinderella attending a royal ball. The service? It's like having your very own team of Genie—completely at your service, making every wish come true. 🏰 The elegant atmosphere transports you away from the park hustle and bustle, and into a world where Lumière might just be lighting the candles for dinner. 💫 It’s Disney magic, elevated to gourmet levels!

Reservations: A Little Pixie Dust Goes a Long Way
Getting a reservation can feel like tracking down Aladdin’s magic carpet—but don’t lose hope! Just like Tiana, with a little hard work (or using the MouseDining trick), you’ll find yourself at the table of your dreams. ✨ And for those who are flexible, being on the cancellation list can be your golden ticket to this incredible dining experience. Remember, "the flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all," as Mulan would say! 🌸

Final Thoughts
Victoria & Albert’s isn’t just a meal—it’s a magical experience. You’ll leave feeling like royalty, whether you’re Prince Charming or Queen Elsa. From the unforgettable dishes to the impeccable service, it’s Disney World’s finest. So if you’re ready to have a “tale as old as time” dining experience, don’t miss out on this enchanting adventure for the senses. 🍴👑
