Well, I might just have a new favorite restaurant at the Studios.

It is a cafeteria-style buffet, but your cafeteria never served food like this. Everything in it seemed to have a special touch. The wide varieties of salads, for example, had ingredients like cranberries or walnuts or roasted red peppers. Just little things like that to lift them from basic fare to something special.

There were several choices of high-quality meats, too. The roast beef was delicious, and thankfully, was available medium or well-done. (I like my meat good and dead.) The accompanying wine sauce was delicious, too.

Parents, don't worry: The kids assortment had the usual chicken nuggets, etc. But it also featured some delicious meatballs that I snuck onto my plate when the grownups with me weren't looking.

Desserts were delicious ... a trifle-like strawberry-shortcake offering, a berry cobbler with soft-serve ice cream or a hot vanilla sauce, mini Key lime pie tarts... There was chocolate mousse, but alas, that ran out before I could get some. My only quibble, in fact, was that is was never refilled.

The nitty-gritty details after the jump.

The food is all-you-can-eat, so for $24.99, you can get a good deal if you're a big eater. Even if your appetite isn't huge, the quality of the food makes it worth it. Kids pay $12.99.

The menu changes from day to day, but always includes fresh fish, carved meat, a selection of salads and that dessert bar. Also, non-alcholic beverages are included in the price.

Hollywood & Vine is located right next to the Prime-Time Cafe, toward the front of the park.

I would make reservations. Right up until closing time, the place was mobbed. (Must be everyone else already knew how good it is.) As always, Disney restaurant reservations can be made at 407-WDW-DINE or in the parks at the restaurant or at a Guest Relations location.
