Food was good. Father in law gave it a 4, MIL 3, wife 3.5, me 4. I did appreciate the allergy accommodation for my son (no egg) Mac n cheese. Service was slow though, had zero table touches. Not sure if bread is offered but with the prices it would have been a nice touch. read more

Not what I was expecting...I should have checked Yelp first :/ Food was absolutely delicious, HOWEVER, the portions were small for the price. I do agree with the other 3 stars reviews, it was not worth the wait or the money. The waitress informed us that the dishes were shareable but they were NOT! The cocktails were also tasty so maybe just go for drinks lol read more

Magic Key Terrace - Magic Key Holder Dining - Burrata salad and half chicken - Wine Bars Near Me - Anaheim, California

The Magic Key Terrance is for Disney pass holder only. Cute and breezy place to grab lunch/dinner. Reservations needed and there is a strict checking in system. Slow moving so if you are on a time crunch it might not be a good option. Waited 15 to get seated with a reservations. Waited another 10 minutes for a server. We got what it appears to be the menu but it was just the cocktail and prefix option. The prefix is for world of color front row seating which is $75/person. read more

Special restaurant for only annual pass holders (Magic Key) that is a semi hidden gem. The food is great, the Tuscan soup is fantastic, the meat & cheese was a nice surprise with the variety of items. Serivce was good with items coming out in a nice pace. The decor makes you feel like you are in Italy. Wonderful wines offered. read more

WORST FOOD AT DCA WINNER Everytime I come here to give them a chance to redeem themselves I regret it. The food here is NOT GOOD. Charcuterie board barely has enough meats to share and instead of grapes or berries it's huge slices of dry oranges taking up half the board. Gnocchi is hard and stale as if they microwaved it and left it out. I had to return it. Clam pasta was tasty and the only thing we enjoyed. Kids meal Mac n cheese with a tiny thimble of yogurt and strawberries was just okay. Their white wine flight cocktails was super watered down and not good. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Go to Hearthstone Lounge for a real charcuterie board or GCH Bar & Grill for tasty drinks and large portioned kids meals and properly executed entrees. read more

We stopped here for drinks and snacks, and were so glad we didn't stop for a full meal. We ordered the arancini (good) and the focaccia (stale). The chipotle jalapeño butter that came with the focaccia was very bland. We don't eat meat, so we had plain butter in place of the bone marrow butter. We had the kids' pizza meal for our son, which he enjoyed. The drinks were ok, but nothing exceptional. Service was good. Overall, we felt it was not worth the price. Especially the focaccia at $18; for a small-ish portion of stale bread with unexceptional butter, it felt like price gouging. There are so many places to eat in the parks that have better options for the same prices (or lower) that we will not be returning. read more

Being members only makes it feel exclusive, and you can get some good views being on the higher floors. We found our food to be hit or miss, some of it (soup and salad) was really good and others we really didn't like (Aranchini and fondu). read more

Had a chance to try this restaurant as new Magic Key holders. The location is great and it is a nice reprieve from the hectic crowds in the park. We went for lunch and both opted for multiple appetizers rather than an entree, as it was a hot day and we thought lighter fare would serve us well. Food was quite delicious and the atmosphere was relaxing! The only downside was the poor level of service, which was surprising as access is limited to Magic Key members and there were plenty of staff members! It just was amazingly bad service! Maybe a bad day, we will go back and give it another try. read more

*MAGIC KEY HOLDERS ONLY* (Only 1 person in your party needs to be a holder) AMBIANCE: In DCA it's where they serve wine, just go upstairs! It's an indoor/outdoor type patio which overlooks the park. Seems secluded because it's for Magic Key Holders only. FOOD: $31 ROUTE 66 FRIED CHICKEN: it was a whole Cornish hen. It's fried perfectly, comes with a delicious gravy and great for one person! OVERALL: I'd go back to try some of the other dishes. read more

I ike to do my research before going to Disneyland because I like to be prepared. I checked the weather app several times during the week just to make sure it was not going to rain up until the day before we flew down to Anaheim. So when it started to rain when we were here last month (November 2, 2024), I was completely unprepared. No rain jackets, no ponchos-- nothing. Don't even talk to me about buying a $20 poncho (or however much they charge these days) because I wasn't about to buy one. When my bf told me that he knew where we could park ourselves while waiting for the rain to stop, I was all for it even tho he said we needed reservations. I pushed the stroller up hoping for the best and lucky us-- we got in. =) Our time here was well spent because not only did we get to hang out for an hour while we waited for the rain to stop, but we also got to eat some of the best food I've had at California Adventure. The menu was pretty simple with a small list of offerings, but the 2 items that we shared were absolutely perfect. **Route 66 Fried Chicken $31: Fried Cornish Hen with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Seasonal Vegetables and Mushroom Herb Gravy. This not only looked picture worthy but was so tasty. The chicken skin was done exactly how it's supposed to be. Tender, deep fried and not too salty. The Garlic mashed potatoes were whipped and creamy with a slight touch of garlic. And let's not forget about the Mushroom Gravy. Chef's kiss. **Silly Symphonies Churro Sandwich $10: White Chocolate Mousse, Strawberry Compote, Strawberry Crunch topping. I've never had a dessert like this before. I love churros but served as a sandwich? Never. There's a first time for everything. They took a churro and swirled it to make a top and bottom part of a sandwich. On the inside, it was filled with White Chocolate mousse. This was unexpectedly good. Crunchy on the outside and the mousse filling was light and airy. Topped with the Strawberry crunch gave it a surprise twist. Loved this. I would definitely get it again. Service was also pretty great here-- They knew we wanted to stay for a while to wait for the rain to stop. We felt more than welcome to stay as long as we needed. The restaurant wasn't crowded at all either (Perks of being a Magic key Holder)-- also a nice haven from the all the bustling people walking in the parks. read more

My 1 year old daughter and myself got severe food poisoning from this place and have been sick ALL NIGHT. We both had different meals she had the cheese pizza and I had a pasta. After running a half marathon and wanting a nice meal. Absolutely horrible. Although I am a magic key holder I WILL NEVER come here again. I do not recommend this place. read more

I made a reservation weeks before my trip and I have to say I'm pissed. I checked in 20 mins early as the app allows. We wait, and waited, and waited some more. 25 mins after checking in on the app I checked in with a real person. She sent me to another desk where that person informed me that our table will be ready when we receive a text. We waited a bit more. Now I'm getting antsy, 30 mins after check in, 10 past my original reservation time. I politely ask again, another new person, the other girl is gone. I am now informed that they are "running behind", it will be about 30-40 more mins?? What is the point of the reservation I ask. She tells me they are just behind. So I politely asked her to cancel. Ridiculous. read more

Magic Key Terrace, we accidentally stumbled upon this when making reservations - it's for annual pass members only, but they let us stay anyways! The ambience is very comfortable and welcoming, the service is incredible! Food is great, but portions are small. Really, you come to places like this for the world of color dining seating package cause that is needed! Good spot, greatly appreciate the heightened hospitality, but if it wasn't for the world of color seating, I'd prefer other options around the park for better pricing and value. read more

Came here to celebrate my mom's birthday. I booked a reservation on the Disneyland website for their World of Color Package: which comes with a starter, entree, and dessert. After you eat, they will give you the World of Color Voucher in which you go to a standing area-section for the package. I also asked for a chocolate birthday cake to surprise my mom, and it's like a chocolate mousse cake in the shape of Mickey Mouse! Service is great as it always is at Disneyland. Overall, it's nice to go here when you want to have a nice ambiance dinner, or celebrate an occasion. read more

This place gets no stars. 610pm reservations and get seated at 655pm. We get seated another table get seated 10min later. At this time we have ordered our food and drinks. 15min later their food comes out before ours. Same freaking order as ours give or take 2 items. Spoke with manager and she just said sorry! This is no MAGIC AT ALL! Disney get your act together! We love you but come on! It's already robbery on the prices! The service too? read more

The good: Ambiance is amazing. Especially on a hot day, you get shade, a breeze, a quiet spot, and a great view overlooking San Fransokyo. Service was very friendly also, and the cocktails were amazing. The bad: Very limited menu. You'd think for a Magic Key holder experience they'd have some more variety. Food was ok, nothing special. In fact the chocolate birthday cake was not good at all. While our server was friendly, she seemed to forget about us. We spilled a drink and had no napkins, once she saw she said she would get someone to come over and clean but never did. We were also never given any utensils, had to ask for them. Overall, this was an underwhelming experience. This was our first real perk as new Magic Key holders and we were a bit disappointed with our experience but it was good to try once. If you want a nice break from the chaos of the park, definitely try it out. If you're looking for a great culinary experience, skip it. read more

You're better off sticking to the place downstairs with the better menu. The magic key terrace kids food options were a joke. The cheeseburger would be ok if there were 2 or 3 of them and the adult options were better down there as well. I know they change so maybe just check both and see which has the better options. read more

While visiting Disney California Adventure, I had dinner at Magic Key Terrace because I wanted to check out the new menu. I was informed they were running about 10 minutes behind for my 7:45 reservation, this seems to be a recurring issue, as every visit tends to have a bit of a wait. Once seated, the experience improved. I ordered the Strawberry Peach cocktail, focaccia bread, Bucatini alle Vongole, and the Spumoni mousse cake. Everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. The cocktail was refreshing, the pasta was well-cooked with a nice briny balance, and the dessert was a fun, nostalgic finish. Overall, the wait time keeps it from being a perfect five, but the food and ambiance make it worth returning for. read more

Went here for my boys bday celebration. For an "exclusive" restaurant you would think the service would be much better. When we went they say us an our reservation time which was nice, but it took some time for the our waitress to come out and greet us. Once she finally came out she was very friendly. The food was ok. I got the fried chicken, my sons got the pizza and braised short ribs. Nothing special with the flavors or presentation. When we were finished with the meal I had to remind the waitress of the bday cake I preordered. This was disappointing because you would think they would want to make 8 year old kids day special. The ambiance was nice, had a great view of the pier. It's a nice 1 time experience. read more

Yesterday we decided to come back here for lunch and when we got there, there was at least 15 to 20 empty tables and we still have to wait for 15 minute for reservation. We sat there for 20 minutes next to empty tables and received nothing not even water. Wasted 40 minutes because of these clowns. The workers were all just standing around talking to each other. If you're actually trying to enjoy a meal, I suggest going to downtown Disney it's way faster. read more

This spot isn't bad. The food is good and the service is super friendly and nice all times I've visited including this time. It's just, I mean Disneyland is already expensive so making a spot for just Magic Keyholders seems like something that would be cool. It's just as if they think since you ponied up for the key you should be able to afford this too. Just disappointing to me personally to see this spot being so much more expensive than say, Lamplighter which I can get more at for less. So this visit I tried the Lucas Seafood Pasta for the first time and the seafood portion was great. I wasn't all that much impressed by the pasta or the sauce. Watery sauce and rubbery noodles. Not bad but could have been much better. My drink was always a first for this visit. I got the Strawberry-Peach Cocktail. It was a game changer for sure. All around great drink. Today's theme for me and drinks is sweet and fruity.... shut up. If your ever here though, give that 5,4,3..2.....1 a try. It's my personal favorite. read more

*Magic Key Holder access only* We've try this for the first time not really sure what to expect. It didn't disappoint, the fried chicken is great, juicy and so flavorful. The outer layer skin is crispy without extra breading to over power the flavor, it helped out to get the natural flavor of the chicken. I'm not a big fan of breast part of fired chicken but this one is an exception. I will recommend this dish to family and friends. On the other hand, my wife ordered the Luca Seafood pasta , which also has a good flavor with fresh seafood taste. My son ordered the Mac and cheese, a little watery Mac and cheese but my son likes it so I'm ok with that. You're inside the park so the price will be in the higher end. If it's worth it? Maybe yes, but not every time that we will go to the park we will go there. Maybe for some special celebrations. Overall great experience. read more

Magic Key Terrace - Magic Key Holder Dining - Route 66 Fried Chicken Luca Seafood Pasta - Wine Bars Near Me - Anaheim, California

We came here with dear friends (4 total adults and 2 kids) the other day and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. Magic Key Terrace was a welcomed respite from the frenetic craziness of California Adventure on a very crowded Saturday. My better half and I shared the Emperor's New Flatbread and the Harissa Cauliflower...both were very good. The Flatbread was Huacatay-marinated Chicken, Oaxaca and Smoked Mozzarella, Radish, Huancaína Sauce, Huacatay Pistou and Micro Cilantro. The Harissa Cauliflower was this delicious roasted Cauliflower with White Bean Hummus, Fried Chickpeas and Kale, Lemon Zest, Chili Oil and Dukkha. They were fairly pricey and definitely not huge, at $17 and $23 respectively, but really delicious. Our little guy got a Disney check meal which consisted of a single tiny Angus Beef Slider on a Toasted Sesame Slider Bun, served with Seasonal Fruit and Fried Potatoes. It came with a water or a milk. I feel like the Kids menu option at Carthay Circle Alfresco Terrace sort of puts this place to shame, but it was a very "good" option for our little guy and he ate everything! The best part of the experience was the service. Our server was incredibly nice and when we had a couple snafus with the food, they were quickly fixed. We'll be back! read more

The best thing about the Magic Key Terrace is the service we received. The arrincini was the most flavorful and best items we ate. It was crispy on the outside and delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, as it felt like a nice Californian terrace. Now for the worst part. I was reluctant to eat here as reviews were mixed. They changed their menu again and unfortunately I got what reviewers stated was their best dish. The Buccatini a la Vagole which was not very flavorful or tasty to my palate; it came with 6 clams and half a lemon. The portion size was fine, but the lack of flavor in the dish was disappointing. The Osso Buco was very dry and lacked seasoning. The portion was okay, but the dryness of the pork was not good. The drinks which I have had her prior were okay, but not the same. I would recommend eating downstairs at the Wine Country Trattoria. That is my go-to, and have always had a fantastic meal there. read more

Beautiful ambiance, great service. The view from the terrace is great. The only reason I gave 3 stars is that my pork milanesa la Marsala had a very brown crust on it..I think that it got burnt! the pork meat was a bit on the dry side but tasty. Ill give the service 6 stars not 5! read more

It was our first time here even though we have been a magic key holder for awhile. Service wasn't good today. It took awhile for our server to come after we got seated. We ordered the charcuterie board and the flatbread. Flatbread $17 and charcuterie board $20 was good. Flatbread was a bit small but shareable. Not too spicy. Wish there was a bit more chicken on it. The pate was delicious but the olives were a bit on the saltier side. The cheese were good. read more

Disappointed. The restaurant didn't honor our reservation due to poor optimization of table seating space availability. We waited about 20 minutes after our reservation time. The server Chris Y. forgot to put in my order and didn't even realize it. He checked in about 15 minutes after my family was served, which was when I informed him he forgot my entree as well as our table appetizer. When we left old him we wished the appetizer arrived before our entrees he completely ignored us and proceeded to tell us about his he tomatoes used in it. I ordered the clam linguine and a few clam shells were shattered and there were fragments in my pasta. This place is too expensive to treat us like this. Not happy with the food, service, or ambiance. I get better service from outdoor snack kiosks and they have a larger rate of food output than this restaurant. Besides the clam fragments, the linguini sauce was good. Take a look at the color of the receipt paper they gave me. Refill the roll. read more

The service here is great! The food is not bad, but don't come here if you're looking for a variety of menu options. I had to settle for the flatbread, which was good, but didn't fully satisfy me. Portions are small-ish, and honestly nothing on the menu sounded appetizing to me. I was happy with my choice, but it was a little too spicy. My drink was okay, but don't take my word on alcohol, I'm not much of a drinker! If you came to eat, this is not it. It's a nice place to grab a drink and decompress after a long day, and perhaps order a dish (snack) if you're feeling peckish. We were still hungry when we left lol Relatively pricey, but good considering it's at Disney. 4 girls with 1 drink each approx cost $150 (not bad!) Probably won't go out of my way to eat here again, but it was a nice experience! read more

Pros: beautiful ambiance and views, amazing customer service, and provides respite from the crowds. Cons: small menu selection, even smaller food portions, and overpriced. One small slider from the kids' menu was $12. It came with potatoes, fruit and small beverage, but I expected at least 2 sliders. Everyone was still hungry. Ordered another item and got churros elsewhere. I recommend to try this place at least once because it is al fresco dining exclusively for Magic Key holders in a tranquil environment, but it really is a "one and done" type of experience. Maybe we will give it another try because they seem to change their menu seasonally, but that would be a last resort. read more

Honestly, I would have NEVER recommended MKT to anyone in the past because their menu sucked. It was until they added a very special item to their menu (many months ago that I didn't know of until recently). Oh my goodness of deliciousness! The gods of fried chicken have spoken! I never would have imagined anywhere beating Plaza Inn's fried chicken ever. My fellow friends...allow me to introduce the Route 66 Fried Chicken at MKT! It's by far the best fried whole hen I've ever had. It's so balanced in flavor + juiciness + crispiness that only a mad man could ever perfect such a recipe. I am in awe and growing hungry for more. On a side note, it's the only item on the menu that will make it super worthy for your visit and is the only reason why I'm giving it a 5-star rating. Indulge and savor! May your taste buds get blown away! read more

We made a reservation for the World of Color package ($62 pp), which involved a pre fixe menu, followed by reserved area viewing of the World of Color show. The Magic Key Terrace entrance is right next to the check in area for Wine Country Trattoria. Once our seats were ready, we climbed the stairs to the Terrace. Our pre fixe menu included an appetizer (soup or salad), choice of entree, and raspberry macaron, along with a non-alcoholic beverage. We opted for the tomato basil soup, which was hearty, rustic. Great flavor and a nice way to start our meal. After reading reviews, we both decided to order the short rib and pay the extra $10 each. The short rib was perfect. Tender, didn't even have to use my knife. Loved every bite. Unfortunately, my wife got a very fatty piece. Our server was very accommodating and asked if she could replace the meal, but we were short on time as we had to head to the show, so declined. She did provide us a discount though, which was appreciated! They ran out of macarons, so we ended up with the churro for dessert. Please don't order it. So disappointing. The strawberry crunch topping tasted stale. And I think I'm too used to the Disneyland churro that has that nice crunch and fluffy center. These are more traditional. Would rather of had a dipping sauce with this one. Overall, some hits and misses tonight. For the price point, would have wanted more consistency. The reserved viewing area for World of Color was pretty sweet though. Had a directly center view in a small courtyard area and not crowded at all! Great experience. read more

The Magic Key Terrace is a private space away from all the crowds in California Adventures. As far as that goes, it does a fantastic job at being a rest and reset space. All the staff were very friendly and quick to seat us at the time of our reservation. The two dishes we ordered were pretty flavorful, particularly the short rib. The flatbread was good as well, but you can skip on it and get another short rib haha. Pricing was a bit high, but that is to be expected from any dining at Disney Parks. You can certainly dine better if you leave the park for the price that you're paying here. However, you're also paying for the convenience of not having to leave. Alcoholic Drinks (not pictured) were pretty good. Overall, if you are a Magic Key holder, I would recommend you visit this place at least once to check it off the list. But it certainly isn't one of our go-to's every time we come to the park. read more

This is the first year I gave in and have become a Magic Key Pass holder and one of the perks is having access to the Magic Key Lounge in DCA I've been a couple times since being a member, and on the plus side, it is a great spot to take a break with friends and avoid the hustle and bustle of DCA, especially on crowded days. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. The food quality is good and I definitely recommend the fried Cornish hen option...it's super filling but has an overall delicious comfort food vibe. Where there could be room for improvement is for having quite a limited menu, that is on the pricier end of Disney dining, it's takes them quite a bit of time to serve food from the time orders are placed. Also, it would be nice to have more dishes that are conducive to sharing vs. hearty entrees...going back to the park after a heavy meal is always a bit tricky so lighter food fare would be a great consideration. read more
