quite got to experience , but also seems so comfortable and familiar . The restaurant is charming inside and out , with Victorianstyle millwork wall trims , framework , and finials . Ample windows and lightly colored wallpaper keep the restaurant bright and airy inside . While this is a Table-Service restaurant and reservations are strongly encouraged , the atmosphere is very casual and relaxed . There ’ s no dress code , and despite some of the fancy-looking decor , this is actually one of the most affordable sit-down restaurants at WDW .
COMFORTING CLASSICS The menu at The Plaza Restaurant is best described as American comfort food . While the Bangers & Mash entree is distinctly British , the rest of the offerings are decidedly homegrown all-American classics . At the time of writing , the restaurant is not offering breakfast , and the lunch and dinner menus have been trimmed down a bit , but you ’ re still going
to have an excellent meal , and the most popular menu dishes are all still here .
What We Ordered
• Wedge Salad ( iceberg lettuce , tomato , cucumber , and plant-based “ ranch ” dressing )
• Plaza Loaded Fries ( crispy fries , melted cheese , bacon , lettuce , and tomato )
• Plaza Club ( smoked ham , turkey , bacon , lettuce , tomato , and mayonnaise )
• Home-style Meatloaf ( hearty slices of meatloaf , mashed potatoes , and seasonal vegetables )
• Original Banana Split ( a ripe banana and three scoops of ice cream — vanilla , chocolate , and strawberry — topped with hot fudge , strawberry sauce , crushed pineapple , chopped nuts , whipped cream , and a cherry )
