The California Grill & Cantina

Food is delicious!
Service is great!
All of the waiters & waitresses are very tentative & they want make feel welcomed! Right in the hotel, but I’m sure is open to the public. They have a great selection of beer & wine & they TBA sandwich & garlic fries are to die for.

This place was totally remodeled. What an excellent place for lunch. I had a flatbread pizza and my friend had a chicken salad and we will be back soon

We came during the restaurant remodel and were sat in a ballroom which seemed a little weird at first. We were skeptical about the lack of reviews but had such a large group this was the only place that could accommodate us last minute. The menu has a very wide variety of options which was overwhelming so I ended up asking the waiter for a recommendation– he said to order the Cajun blackened salmon with mashed potatoes. It was amazing. The sauce was so good and I left uncomfortably full because I couldn’t stop eating! Get the salmon!

Oy, this was a rough experience. There’s just no sugar coating it.
As a hotel guest, we popped in here for breakfast before heading to Disneyland. At $ 15 a person, I expected a lot more options. Mostly it was cereal, yogurt (and only Trix yogurt, ugh), a couple bread options, scrambled eggs and bacon.
Our server brought us drinks one time and then never returned again with refills the entire time we were sitting there. He never returned at all, for anything.
Food when fair to poor, service was poor, and price was much too high. We did not return again during our stay.

I was delighted with the servers especially Rogelio who saw to our every need. I experienced your restaurant four times during the course of my stay at the Crowne Plaza. Each meal was delicious, delightful and served to perfection.
Thank you. #goodeats

The only thing that was good is the waiter, he tried to make us feel like we were in a fine dining restaurant but he had the odds stacked against him. Took 45 minutes to get our meal. No atmosphere at all, feels like you are eating a steak in a diner, but price doesn’t match. It’s fine if you are a hotel guest, just returning for Disney and want casual Mexican, which is the majority. We unfortunately were not, we were looking for a nice lounge or restaurant to have dinner and drinks before an event we were attending at the hotel. Wish I had gone somewhere else, we were trying to avoid the chain restaurant across the way because hotels generally have a nicer atmosphere, wishing I had stuck to the chains.

Very expensive, but very large servings. Service was good but food took forever to come out.

Tucked away in the lobby of the Anaheim Crowne Plaza, I tried Shrimp St. Louie Salad ($ 12) to-​go when I was attending a recent conference in one of the ballrooms.
The salad was standard, shrimp was good, and dressing tasted oddly familiar to the Kraft brand thousand Island. Not bad. Just A-​OK.
For a to-​go, non-​cooked item, it did take them close to half an hour to get that and another entrée (turkey club sandwich $ 10) out for a friend. It seemed long to me, but they were busy with quite a few to-​go orders from the same convention so I won’t bristle too much at the wait. Prices were a bit steep for the size of the dishes, but I assume it has much to do with being located in the Crowne Plaza.
The service was polite, and the décor was actually quite nice. I wish I had time to dine in the restaurant itself.

Located within the Crowne Plaza, we went for the breakfast buffet and it had all your standard buffet food. Not bad but they have this Sweet Potato Coffee Cake that was quite amazing.
