Editorial Review for Wolfgang Puck Cafe – by Mary Meehan
The Scene
The look of Wolfgang Puck's restaurants--wild mosaics, non-traditional colors, open kitches--are almost as notable as his legendary California cuisine. Tables are crowded very closely together, making it difficult to maneuver a stroller or wheelchair. While waiting, look for the hidden Mickey in the multi-colored tiles over the cash register.
The Food
Start off with the assorted sushi platter, which includes tuna, scallops, lobster and various rolls. For an entree, sample one of Puck's well-known pizzas. The four-cheese pizza with goat cheese, parmesan, fontina, and mozzarella on a lively pesto sauce with sundried tomatoes is a favorite. The spicy Chinois chicken salad with honey mustard dressing is also worth trying. The spinach papardelle is a pleasing blend of textures and flavors--strips of egg and spinach pasta are combined with sun-dried tomatoes, Chenel goat cheese, basil, and double-blanched garlic cloves. The meringue Key lime pie is a tart, light finish to the meal.

This was my third time dining upstairs (work gift certificates) and it will be my last. The food is average, I had the NY strip and my girlfriend had the lamb. Both were about average suffering mostly from high prices and sides that were better than the main dinner item (awesome horseradish mashed potatoes). Also, there isnt anything on the dessert side that is worth trying for $10-$15. In all, we spent $190 minus $75 for the certificate , minus $45 for the tip, so we definitely are not cheap rookies. My other complaint is that they do not enforce their dress code. This is okay if you are eating downstairs but not if you are spending the money upstairs, not to mention, why have one if you intend to allow Disney tourists to dine there in t-shirts and shorts? The skinny of it all? Eat here if you are already there and don't want to leave the area, if not, save the gas money and dine at Charley's or Houstons where you will find a far better dinner experience, it will be cheaper and you wont regret having spent the money. Better yet, eat at Coq Au Vin and fall in love with a true Orlando treasure.
Pros: interesting sides
Cons: dress code, high prices

This is my favorite for sushi, and if you go to the sushi bar you get seated right away and they take care of you right there, avoiding the other reveiwer's service gripes.
Pros: Great food, fun atmosphere
Cons: Its Disney, so it's very loud and usually crowded
