We got one of the last seatings here at almost 10PM on Christmas Eve (also my birthday.) Our waiter was just the right combination of professional but friendly, and quite attentive considering the large party he was serving next to us (around 8 adults and as many kids, much more demanding than our little two-top.) All support staff are equally good from what I saw, and the place runs as smoothly as everything in else in Disney manages.We started out with cocktails (an Aviation and a pineapple caipirnha, both well-made and very good, and with a ton of fresh fruit in the latter.) While the full menu was available and looked solid and reasonably diverse for a steakhouse, we opted for the special holiday three-course prix-fixe. I asked for a modification to the starch on the main course and our server accommodated it with no fuss. We started with a duck confit salad of generous proportions for an appetizer. The duck was beautifully cooked, as was the bison in our second course (we asked for medium rare and it was exactly right, warm and red in the centre and pink everywhere else.) Boyfriend loved the mushroom risotto too. Desert was a fruit tart served with ice cream, with a very good handmade pastry shell, and all three courses were nicely presented and very well-seasoned. I had a glass of wine with dinner as well, and was happy with the by-the-glass wine selection.While the menu isn't extremely original, modern, or high-end, everything we ate was delicious, prepared with care and with thought to presentation, and not unreasonably priced. I've eaten at more ambitious, upscale restaurants, but I was extremely happy with this meal when judging against other mid-range sort of dining experiences. Excellent value, in my opinion, and very well-run. If you're expecting something very high-end, you'll probably be disappointed (and might be better served trying Napa Rose if you want to eat at Disney). Steakhouse 55 is more of a slightly old-fashioned steakhouse experience, but there is nothing wrong with that. They're not charging world-class amounts (our 3-course prix-fixe was $65pp...we're not talking Michelin-starred prices here. Pretty darn average, really.) I bartended in a (well-respected) steakhouse with an almost identical price point and Steakhouse 55 blew it out of the water. For that reason, it gets full marks from me.

Steakhouse 55 is one of my favorite places. The staff has pride in their service and food. Some of the wait staff has been there for years and they are a classy bunch that truly cares about your experience. The food is divine, presented well and always hot when delivered to the table. The decor is classic and the walls are lined with old photos of some of the restaurants most famous diners. They have an excellent wine collection. If it's not too busy, your server may take you to their wine room for a personal tasting experience! Although the staff is wearing formal attire, diners can wear pretty much anything as long as it is Disney appropriate. Some diners are donning their formal wear, or sporting some business casual attire, but as most guests are coming from the theme park, they are dressed in their comfortable-wear. The steakhouse is located in the Disneyland Hotel so anyone can eat here, no park admission is required. However, to guarantee you get a seat, call Disney Dining for reservations!

Orange County Restaurant Week is a great way to try out new places. Since we were going to Disneyland, adding a trip Steakhouse 55 was a grand idea. I highly recommend making reservations at Disney Dining, so you minimize your wait time. Our $40 pre fixe menu included a starter, entree, and dessert. First off, the bread was delicious. It came with softened butter with a sprig of thyme. I should have held back to make room for my meal, but I was hungry and it was too tasty. For starters I tried the chilled shrimp with cocktail sauce and the "Steakhouse 55" seven onion soup. The chilled shrimp starter consisted of two large shrimp butterflied and light salad. The shrimp were well cooked and had plenty of flavor. No rubbery shrimp for me. 4 stars. On the other hand, the "Steakhouse 55" seven onion soup was salty on the verge of inedible. To make the dish easier to eat I used bread to soak up the soup. If they didn't have a heavy hand salting this dish, it could have easily been a 4 star dish especially because of the great fried shallots. So it gets 2 blood pressure raising stars. For an entree I choose the roasted prime rib medium rare. Perfectly cooked and packed with plenty of ribeye flavor. The au jus for this dish was too salty. Probably made from the same stuff as the onion soup. I only used a small portion of it. The horseradish was nice and creamy with just a hint of kick. Really pleasant on the meat. The side dishes were perfectly cooked long green beans and a chunk of tasty au gratin potatoes. 4.5 stars To cap off our meal we had creme brulee and the chocolate mousse cake. They were both standard desserts, so 4 stars for both of them. There were hits and misses with this visit. The service was very good and everything was high end professional. Our server was kind enough to split checks too! Even with soup, it's a solid 4 stars.

We visited Steakhouse 55 again returning after a few years. Both times it was an enjoyable experience. Even though this restaurant is hidden within the Disneyland Hotel it remains a favorite of ours. The food is good, as is the service. On a night when we tried to get reservations at the newer Carthay Circle and Napa Rose locations Steakhouse 55 was able to accomidate us.A drink in the lounge and the following dinner were very good and I'd return again in a heartbeat.

A very good restaurant to go to to celebrate a special occasion, for it is a very classy and fancy place, though not pretentiously so. I myself went here for my birthday, and I of course went for their famous rib-eye. It was tender and flavorful, but a little tough in some areas. The potatoes au gratin that I got with it was fantastic. As for dessert, I got the famous 24 layer chocolate cake which was absolutely AMAZING!!! And I got a free decadent birthday dessert that was pure chocolatey goodness. Overall, a great restaurant for special occasions.

We went to Steakhouse 55 for my wife's birthday. In typical Disney fashion, the service was excellent! The food quality was delicious. The steak and eggs was the way to go. The Hollindaise sauce was wonderful! The ambiance was a very nice touch too!
(5)Steph M.
The setting was elegant, food phenomenal and service superb. Def a favorite for me. I high recommend making reservations ASAP through the Disney dine line.

My family and I came here to celebrate my parent's 25th anniversary and my sister's 21st birthday. The service and the food are always excellent at Steakhouse 55! We were seated in a quiet corner and our waiter was very friendly and helpful. The bread was warm, flakey, and amazing. The butter was soft and spread easily on the slices of bread. My parents ordered the Steakhouse 55 crab cakes. They were creamy, yummy, and full of crab. The special sauce added a sour, spicy tone that enhanced the crab flavor. I ordered the preset meal of a caesar salad, steak and fries, and creme brûlée for dessert. The caesar salad was the best caesar salad I have ever eaten. It was topped with parmesan crisps and an olive tapenade. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. It was tender, flavorful, delicious. The fries were thin and crispy and the green beans were crisp yet tender. I don't know how I did it, but after eating my first two courses I finished off my creme brûlée. My parents and my sister got their own special celebration desserts for their anniversary and birthday. They were served a dome of chocolate mouse cake with two chocolate Mickey ears. This is a great place to celebrate any special occasion. The food is delicious, the service excellent, and the atmosphere magical!

Steakhouse 55 is a hidden treasure on the Disneyland Resort. Located inside of the Disneyland Hotel, Steakhouse 55 has a wide selection of entrees besides your typical ribeye or filet mignon. They also offer chicken, rack of lamb, pork chop, fish and lobster. I was excited to finally try Steakhouse 55 during OC Restaurant week. The promotion was a 3 course meal for $40. // PARKING // They offer valet and also self-parking. Make sure you get your stamp card validated and you'll get 5 hours of free parking. // SERVICE // We had a reservation for 8:15pm, but arrived early at 8pm. The host told us they were running late so we just walked to the store and took a seat by the lounge area. We ended up waiting for 50 minutes to finally be seated. Once seated the servers and wait staff were all friendly and on top if everything. They constantly came by to check up on us, clear plates and refill drinks. // FOOD // Complimentary sourdough bread: AMAZING! They bring out a loaf with about 6-7 pieces. Basically, I ate a whole loaf by myself! The outer crust was crispy and delicious! "Steakhouse 55" seven onion soup: The soup was similar to a French onion soup base, but without the bread and cheese. The flavor was delicious and it went well with the sourdough bread. Chilled shrimp with tartar sauce: Your typical shrimp cocktail. The shrimps are meaty and tasty. Short rib and mushroom risotto: Risotto with chunks of short rib, mushrooms, peas and topped with melted cheese. This was the only disappointing item. It wasn't that great to me at all. Filet mignon with potatoes au gratin and green beans: The filet was cooked perfectly and really tender! The potatoes au gratin was absolutely amazing! One of the best ones that I've ever had. Creme brûlée: The cream was good, but they sugar coating on top wasn't hard. It was soft and didn't have any crunch to it. Overall, I was impressed with the food and service at Steakhouse 55. I would definitely come back here even though the prices are pretty high. It's definitely better than Napa Rose which is the more well known "fine-dining" restaurant on the Disneyland Resort.

Steakhouse 55 was the venue for our 2nd annual Christmas Dinner PYE. Never reviewed the first PYE, yet a year later I'm reviewing the second one! How did that happen? I (and everyone else) enjoyed last year at The Ranch, but I wanted to wait till I returned to have a regular (public dining) experience before reviewing - still haven't got around to it though! This year, wanted a similar experience at a place that nobody had been to before - in our party of 14, only one person had been to SH 55. This was not only a PYE, it was private dining in their Oak Room. The Oak Room seats up to 20 and is named after an exclusive members only restaurant that was located in the Disneyland Hotel from approximately 1955 to 1970. One nice thing about getting to know your fellow yelpers is being able to rely on their opinions - in this case everyone's reviews have been consistent on SH 55 - in a nutshell - 5 star service and experience, 3 star food. Has been averaged out to 4 by everyone - I'm guessing everyone would go 3 - 3.5 stars - and they rounded up due to the great time that was had by all. Let's start with the good - Matt, a manager and a sommelier was incredible! We went through several emails and met once to set this party up - he made every effort and accommodation to ensure we would have a great time. - A Prosecco toast, hors d'oeurves, and small group wine tasting before dinner went flawlessly. The room was very nice, hotel decorated for the holidays and free valet parking - Executive Chef Allie and Sous Chef JC came in and welcomed us before dinner - our serving staff split checks for everyone - all of these things were much appreciated. The food: Enjoyed the hors d'oeurves. Tried the Wasabi scallops - I liked them a bit more than others - 4.25 stars, Sautéed Spicy Shrimp with blistered tomato and roasted red pepper sauce 5 stars, Lobster bisque 3 stars, French onion soup 3.5 stars, Mac and cheese 4 stars. I read great reviews about the Au Gratin potato stack, my expectations were too high I guess, 3 stars. Steak wasn't seasoned enough for me, and was cooked a little more than I expected - 3 stars at best, easily do better at home - disappointing when Steakhouse is part of your name! We didn't have dessert - opted for chocolate fondue and hilarious gift exchange at our house afterward. I am a big fan of Matt, but not so much SH 55 - 3.5 overall. Unfortunately we don't expect to return - at this price point I would choose The Ranch, Napa Rose, or try out a new place every time over returning. That being said - it was a very successful PYE with an all star group of great yelpers and great friends. Thanks to all for coming! Already have some ideas for next year!!

I consider this a special occasion place. We celebrated our 18th anniversary here. Wonderful food! Awesome ambiance! Onto the food. They are known for their bone in Rib Eye. I had it topped with a decadent herb butter. Delish! The sides were crispy spinach and fingerling potato casserole. My partner had a fish dish with veggies. We were full from dinner but they brought us a fantastic, complimentary chocolate dessert. All in all a truly magical evening! I highly recommend Steakhouse 55 for a special occasion place!

Another Christmas another steak or was it mis-steak? Most of us think aw crap, the annual X-mas dinner, but not when Bob T. is the master of ceremonies. An epic time is sure to unfold. My homeboy is always coming up with a winner for dinner like last years awesome trip to The Ranch. See my profile picture you'll get the drift. Bob is the man! Arrived fashionably late (the diva that I am LOL) actually I got sort of lost. I've lived within a stones throw of here for almost 30 years and I fudged the directions! Doh! A senior moment battling the GPS. So I missed the chance to meat (pun intended) the chef here to pick his head on what bovine choice to order. Which steak? And while I was not thinking this could top, last years dinner I did have high hopes for SH55 being at least on the caliber of Morton's or Ruth Chris's Like I said we arrived late. And after a semi goose chase at the hotel we found the restaurant. We were pointed to the private Oak Room yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… in the back of the restaurant. Pretty nice room with it's pictures of yesterdays romantic couples. yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… By the time we sat down most of the ladies in the group were already in the wine room embarrassing themselves in a room they thought had one way mirrors. I can only imagine the thoughts the diners outside were having. Late or perfect timing? There were appetizers and some sparkling Presecco awaiting our taste buds as soon as we were seated. The trio of appetizers included prosciutto wrapped cheese filled dates, flatbread with palmetto olives, sun dried tomatoes with a vinaigrette, and lastly spinach stuffed mushrooms. I liked the dates the best but I thought the shrooms (I ditched the spinach) were good too and seeing as how nobody else was eating them more for me! Fun guys love fungi. About that time our last group of 5 was escorted out of the private dining room by Matt our solemner to the wine tasting room for a nice sampling of the reds. A very tasty Cab (cant remember the name), Ridge Zinfandel, EnRoute Pinot and another Napa pinot. A nice experience in the boom boom room! yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… I ended up getting a bottle of the EnRoute pinot and it paired very well with my steak. yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… As we returned there was fresh bread. yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… A tasty sour dough . And they were taking orders. I had the rib eye med-rare, asparagus with hollandaise sauce and a lobster bisque. She had a salmon and Sautéed Mushrooms with Madeira. My neighbor Linda had an end cut prime rib that I stole a bite or two and loved. For starters I had the lobster bisque and unlike others I really enjoyed this. 4***Star yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… The side I chose Asparagas with hollandaise was cooked perfect and tasted great. 4****Star yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… If only all veggies were that tasty I might join PETA and renounce (WTF was I thinking!) meat. Ain't gonna happen. The rib eye looked to be overcooked but it was a perfect med-rare, yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… the quality however was not prime but rather ("premium" per 55 web site) and had a bit of a chew. Nonetheless it had a nice seasoning and I ate it all like a good boy. 2.5**Star yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… Food I borrowed from others. I loved the Sautéed Mushrooms with Madeira and ate most of them, 4****Star yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… The chef's Au Gratin potato stack was bomb! 4****Star yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… And the end cut prime rib was way tasty! yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… 4****Star Great service A+, classy décor, nice wait staff, great bar, nice wine selection but it missed the mark with the quality of the Meat. Should be 3.5***Star but hey its X-mas! 4****Star Overall Still another great night with friends. The company you keep will always make up for shortcomings in life. Thanks Bob and Matt a fun filed evening that just started at 55.

We had a great experience here for our Fourth of July dinner. It was my first time visiting, and our waiter, David from Walnut, CA, (DMC) was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly attentive and knowledgable, and quickly able to answer all our questions; even the obscure ones unrelated to the food (like "who's in this picture on the wall?"). Our busser, Fabian, was excellent as well. He never let our drinks get to even half empty, and was always ready with more bread, water, the crumb scraper, and a smile. Pearl, the food runner, was adorable and pleasant, and made sure our food was the best it could be before it came out to us. All the staff were great sports, happily putting up with our jokes and chatter. Overall, a fabulous experience at Steakhouse 55; everyone should go here again and again.

When you go to a 5 star restaurant this is what you expect. The service is absolutely amazing... My drink stayed completely full the whole time. I recommend the lobster bisque, filet and lobster as well as the risotto. I always leave this place feeling so satisfied and that's why I have been back 2 times since. Its a must do if you have the time and money.

WAAY over priced. It was my birthday celebration with friends from out of state that happen to be enjoying Disneyland. My steak was cold. Tasted ok but the temperature was cold. Everyone else was 'ok' with their meals. For what we paid we could have went to Ruth Chris or Flemings and had a fantastic meal. I would not return nor would I recommend.
(2)Morgana D.
I love this restaurant. There are old pictures of Walt and famous people all over the walls. Also the food was delicious. I got a drink called a Magical star (?) and it was very good. It had a glow cube in it that was pretty cute. We all ordered the lobster bisque and it wasn't very good and definitely had too much salt. I had a ribeye and it was amazing! The rest of my family also got steaks and everyone loved their meal. The only negative would be the service. Our waiter was soooooo slow. We had our soup bowls in front of us for at least 30 mins and waited for our check for an additional 30 mins. There was a huge table next to us, but service should have been better. Other than that we had a great time and will definitely be back!

AMAZING! My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary and my birthday here . To start the sourdough loaf and butter they start you off with is GREAT and warm and toasty!! We are starting to develop our palates for wine pairing so when we asked the waitress , Selena, for suggestions she took us to the wine room. We knew we wanted steak so we tried selections of Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet. The En Route Pinot Noir won! So yummy and it went great with my bone in rib-eye with the steakhouse 55 rub. My boyfriend got the porterhouse and he loved it too! Our steaks were tender and full of flavor! For sides we got the 4 cheese macaroni and cheese and the sauteed spinach. The macaroni and cheese was rich in flavor and the spinach was fresh and sauteed with garlic so it was great! We had the happy birthday/happy anniversary dessert which was a rich chocolate mousse decorated as a Mickey mouse head. If I wasn't so full from my rib-eye i would've ordered the 24 layer chocolate cake. OMG it looked amazing. We definitely want to come back! We heard the menu is changing soon! Our compliments to Chef Marcel St. Pierre!!!

Came here for Bob T's Christmas gathering of friends. Parking was a breeze with a nearly empty Disneyland Hotel valet which is free with restaurant validation. Restaurant was a bit hard to find. My wife and I were wondering around dazed and confused until I finally asked an employee where the hell the restaurant was. You enter the hotel lobby and then go out into the court yard. Hang a right and walk in the doors for "Conference Rooms". Since we got there a bit early we hung out in the lounge with Dave G, Christina G, and Craig F. Christina was drinking something with a bright flashy light in it. They have these plastic ice cubes with color changing LED they put in the foo foo drinks. My wife was hypnotized by it and ordered one. No clue what it was called or what was in it but my wife liked it enough to have two. I had a Rye Manhattan which was smooth and strong. For a theme park hotel I thought the drinks were fairly priced and heavy poured. Those LED ice cubes provided lots of shenanigans throughout the meal. Service was fantastic from beginning to end. Since we're a loud rowdy group we were put in the private Oak room in the back of the restaurant. The restaurant was quieter than a funeral home so it was a smart move to give us the fairly soundproof room. The manager (Mark I believe was his name) gave us a glass of presecco and some free appetizers to try. It included a cracker topped with kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and balsamic glaze.... frickin' fantastic. Also a date filled with some sort of cheese and wrapped in prosciutto..... also fantastic. And lastly a very boring tasteless mushroom stuffed with boredom. Still.... it was gratis and the other two appetizers were heavenly. Much appreciated. They also brought out a delicious loaf of bread with butter. After placing our orders Mark broke our party into three groups and took each group one at a time into the wine cellar for tastings. From what we heard the ladies were pretty crazy in there and they didn't realize at first the glass window in the wine room was two way allowing the dining room to see the hijinx. My group was mellow and I personally really enjoyed every wine I tasted. I was going to order a glass but I was already buzzin from my Rye Manhattan & Presecco and since I was driving I decided to pass. To start with my wife and I both had a Caesar salad ($10). Even though it didn't have anchovy filets(and I forgot to ask if I could get some) it was one of the better Caesar salads I've had. They put a unique twist on it by topping it with Parmesan cheese that was pan fried into a crisp and topped that with olive tapenade which gave was a great alternative to anchovy filets since anchovy is traditionally blended in with tapenades. The dressing was an excellent traditional Caesar dressing and the salad portion was huge. For my entree I went with the 12oz Roasted Prime Rib ($30). 5oz of that was pure fat. I know prime ribs are fatty but this was the fattiest cut I've ever seen. The meat part though was a perfect medium rare, melt in your mouth tender, and had a nice seasoning rub along the outside. Au jus was poured on top and into a little dipping cup. I also asked for fresh ground horseradish which really cleared my sinuses. If you like prime rib I'd recommend this one. My wife had the 8oz Filet Mignon($35) topped with blue cheese ($4). She ordered it medium rare. Her steak was truly pathetic. It was cooked beyond well done, was chewy, dry, and completely flavorless. I don't think a single grain of seasoning was used. For 35 bucks it's sad a place called "Steakhouse 55" can't properly cook a steak. I know others at the table had to send their steaks back so I'm not sure why my wife didn't given the price. If it wasn't for the great service I'd probably be giving this restaurant 3 stars based off this filet alone and we definitely won't be coming back due to it. The blue cheese topping was pricey but they really did load the top of her dried out steak with it. Very good quality cheese too but my wife said even the cheese didn't save it. Sides: First was Mac-n-cheese($9) which had four different cheese and bacon. My wife and I both loved this side dish and couldn't get enough. We have a strong enough marriage to share but if you're on rocky ground I highly recommend you get your own order of this since you'll be tempted to take it all for yourself. Next was the broccoli with roasted garlic($8). Like my wife's filet mignon this was one pathetic and uninspired side dish and an insult at $8. The word garlic can be used as a singular or plural description. Here at Steakhouse 55 they use the word in the singular since there was one teeny tiny roasted garlic clove on top of the mound of crunchy barely cooked flavorless broccoli. In Summary: Great service, great company, strong drinks, hit or miss food. Probably wouldn't come back. Probably should give it 3 stars but it's Xmas time.

My 400th review! This was was a PYE organized by the dynamic duo of Bob and Ruth T. to ring in the holidays! We had planned on arriving around 6:00 pm, but Mother Nature and the traffic on the I-5 had other ideas. We didn't make it to the steakhouse until about 6:25 pm and most of the people were already seated in the Oak Room. We were immediately given a glass of a sparkling wine (don't recall the name) and a short time later several plates of a trio of appetizers ( yelp.com/user_local_phot… ) were delivered to our table. The appetizers consisted of Flatbread with Palmetto Olives, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and a Vinaigrette, Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms and Prosciutto Wrapped Dates. The glass of wine and appetizers were complimentary for dining with them. A majority of our dining companions thought the dates were the best of the three, with the flatbread coming in a close second. The mushrooms were good, but just not as flavorful as the other items. Once everyone had arrived, we started ordering from the menu. Laina selected the 8 oz. Filet Mignon ( yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… ) with a side of the Potato Stack Au Gratin ( yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… ). For my order I went with the 18 oz. Bone-in Rib Eye ( yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… ) with a side of Wild Mushroom Risotto ( yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… ). There were some minor communication issues during ordering, I had to repeat myself once and had some trouble understanding our server. The restaurant's manager Matt had also arranged for our party in small groups to go into their wine closet (as opposed to a cellar) and sample several of their choice wines. He introduced us to their selection process and the background on each of the wines we tasted. The wife and I are not big on wine, but both of us were impressed enough with the sampling to order one glass each. When my group went we were offered samplings of three of their red wines: ( yelp.com/user_local_phot… ) ( yelp.com/user_local_phot… ) ( yelp.com/user_local_phot… ) I think most of the people in our group preferred the Pinot Noir from EnRoute, but I actually thought the Nero D'Avola from Prinicpi di Butera had a more interesting flavor. This was the wine I chose to have with my meal ($14 per glass and $125 per bottle). Throughout the restaurant there are paintings (reproductions of photographs) of famous people who had eaten at the restaurant. Among the people we were able to recognize were Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio, Jack Lemon and Ursula Andress, Walter Matthau with Walt Disney, Louie Armstrong and Walt Disney with Shirley Temple. When the food arrived, my wife's steak was cold and looked a little bit like a Charlie Brown filet and the Potato Stack Au Gratin was bland and boring (don't get the hype here). Both items were returned, the side being replaced with Garlic Mashed Potatoes (which were very good) and the filet came out hot and it was larger than the original. My rib eye was decent, but it was a little tough. All three steaks were strangely dry, I am not sure if it is the quality of the steak, the dry rub used or a combination. The bright spot was the Wild Mushroom Risotto, which was creamy and well seasoned. The service was a little sketchy at times, but the manager quickly addressed any issues during the meal and checked on us several times during the meal. One more minor annoyance was a lack of a restroom in the restaurant. The nearest restroom was the one located in the hotel lobby. After the meal ($149 including tip), we headed to Bob's and Ruth's house for dessert and a gift exchange. When you get old like Roy B., after a good meal it is nice to have a good movement! (I have just been informed the pic I posted here was found offense and Yelp decided to remove it ...) When I saw this t-shirt ... all I could think of was how great it would look on Roy! Rohlinism: Loacoon said "TimeÅ DanaÅs et dÅna ferentÄ«s" ... "I fear the Danaans (Greeks), even when bringing gifts." Loaccon never received a gift from me! A very special thanks to Bob and Ruth for arranging this event and for opening up their home for the holidays! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The boyfriend and I visited D-land months ago, and we wanted to celebrate a bunch of stuff- being together, having a great day at Disneyland, life... you know... awesomeness. We started looking at our options on the downtown Disney strip because we didn't want to spend another dime on the disgustingness that is Disneyland food. Yeah they got Churros, but unless you get into the Bayou restaurant or want to go spend a lot of money at California Adventure for meh food, your options are limited. Boyfriend said he wants Steak, so we started the 10 minute treck across the whole downtown Disney attraction to get to Steakhouse 55. It was 6:45 and the closest reservation was at 9, so we decided it was worth the wait. We went back to the park, rode on some rides, then walked back again just in time. Our server was Nick, who came and asked for our drink orders and I told him I had Celiac disease. He asked if I wanted to speak to the Chef about my meal considerations, and I said yes. The Chef came out, was very sincere and nice, and told me that the hollandaise sauce on the asparagus, the only thing I saw that would be of concern to me, is thickened with corn starch, and that the items I had chosen (Ahi Tuna Tar Tar, Lobster Tail, Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli) were all gluten free. Yay! About the deliciousness that was our meal: The Ahi Tuna Tar Tar was something to mention, as it comes out with a glass dome over it (slightly resembling the glass globe from "Beauty and the Beast")and clouded from dry ice so that when the dome was removed, the cloud ruminated on the tar tar and spilled off the plate onto the table, making it awesome to look out while you devour it- fancy. The Chef specially made an herbed gluten-free flat bread for me... I felt really special because of this- Nobody ever does that! And to top that off, it was probably the best gluten-free bread I've ever tasted. The Steak my boyfriend had (T-bone, which I feel is the easiest cut of meat to mess up) was DELICIOUSNESS. Medium, melt in your mouth meat. I had the Lobster and it was really good- not overcooked- perfect consistency. Mashed Potatoes were my favorite- Chunky not too creamy, and they had real roasted garlic in them. Dirty Martini was amazing, and so was the service. Nick was so nice and attentive, and although this meal was pricey, Nick exceeded our expectations of such a restaurant that we didn't mind it. We loved every second at this restaurant and look forward to coming back again. Thank you for supporting Celiacs also- some might say in a restaurant of this Caliper, it's mandatory, but as a server/bartender, I know that customer service is subjective so you will not be disappointed here if you have any dietary restrictions. Thank you Steakhouse 55! We will be coming back soon!

Dear Steakhouse 55, I am an emotionally high-maintenance girl. I don't ask for a lot; I only want to feel special. Thank you for making me feel like I am the luckiest girl at the happiest place on earth. Well..actually inside Disneyland Hotel. Making online reservation is honestly frustrating and it is much easier to just call. Complimentary sourdough bread and butter. Your hot bread melts my butter. I can't stop eating you. Malibu rum and coke ($7.25): I am so love drunk and malibu rum and coke is my true love. I love you the most my sweet Malibu rum. Lump crab cakes with remoulade ($16.00): One of the best crabcakes I've had. They were charred on the outside and soft on the inside. You melt in my mouth and I taste your yummylicious sauce when I take a bite.

Service I say 5 stars for the food it's like a 3.5-4 I mean it's not terrible but it's not exactly amazing that will blow you out of the water. However if you want to compare it to other choices at Disney then yes this place is delicious. But comparing it to other steakhouses then I say it's so-so what we ordered Cream of corn: sweet like as if they poured a whole cup of sugar in there. Personally I say pass steak with bone and bone marrow: ummm if you want to spilt the steak it's extra charge the steak itself was cooked medium than medium rare but it wasn't terrible and the bone marrow was dried out so it was crispy Cesar salad was good that was the only thing that was actually good Price was about $100 something after tip don't forget to use your disney annual pass if you have one!

Day 20/25: So this is what happened to Clarabelle Cow. Steaks are high with Disney. Other puns and/or jokes. In all honesty, Steakhouse 55 gets recognition mainly for being a surreal experience. Just imagine walking out of Disneyland, walking through Downtown Disney, passing under a giant pointy hat, into a hotel, and BOOM fancy looking steakhouse. But it gets weirder. Now imagine sitting in that restaurant, the fancy, dimly lit restaurant, and see a woman dressed as Minnie Mouse at the table across the floor. This was not a character in the restaurant, it was a patron dressed head to toe as Minnie Mouse...my brain just sort of twitched there. But wait...there is somehow still more. The service we received was...how shall I put this? Out waiter would approach our table and just stand there, smiling at us, saying nothing, staring...I mean, literally I do not believe he spoke once unless we asked him a question or said something. Not even at the normal part of the meal when the waiter usually comes by and just says "How's everything tasting?" He just smiled there, creepily, until we finally had to pipe up and say "Everything tastes great!" That being said, it wasn't exactly "bad service", just...like being waited on by a serial killer I guess. The food was good though. Not the best steak I've ever had but it wasn't too shabby. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to relive my nightmares anew as I lay awake in bed and slip away from sanity.

We truly enjoyed our experience last Tuesday evening. We had a 7:30 reservation for 5 and we were seated within 10 minutes. Some people side eyed us when we brought in our two year old, but they had crayons and an extensive kids menu, so we didn't feel bad about it. My husband had the bone-in ribeye and it was amazing. I loved my roasted chicken and the truffle Mac and Cheese was delicious. With out alcohol it was about $50 a person-but that was fine for the delicious food and good service.

We came here Christmas morning to have brunch with friends. I have very mixed feelings about my experience here. Atmosphere: Very upscale and classy. There aren't any noisy kids running around (although my inebriated friends were kinda loud haha) Service: This was mixed because everybody was nice to us but we had to wait a REALLY long time for food. My friend and I whispered to each other that our food was taking a long time, however, we didn't want to say it outloud to ruin the vibe and fun we were having amongst friends. But for breakfast food (steak and eggs x 3 orders, and eggs benedict x 2 orders) we waited a good 30-40 minutes for our food. And i would have been fine if someone just acknowledged we were waiting a long time and apologized for it but maybe that's normal here. When the food finally came, they didn't give the correct plates to the correct person, which caused some confusion (I asked for fruit with my plate and got a sad 10 grapes with my eggs benny, only to realize they gave my fruit to someone else) Food: Again, mixed reviews on this. My eggs benedict were outstanding. The hollandaise was smooth and creamy, just perfection. Eggs were poached just enough to give them a firm texture but still runny when you cut into them. Biscuits were fluffy and light and the ham was just straight up yummy! The mixed review is for my friend, who ordered her steak medium rare, which she received medium to well, and was a little dry. She sent it back, and her second steak was seared on the outside (barely seared) and straight up raw in the middle (I'll post a pic from my phone). Not sure if this was their idea of a joke but it was pretty sad. The manager came by to check up how the steak was done a 2nd time around, and offered to have it fixed again. However, since we had waited 40 minutes in the first place, then everybody else had finished their food already, my friend opted to just forget the whole thing. They took it off the bill, but it is still an overall negative experience. My experience overall was good, aside from not getting my fruit plate initially with my entree, and waiting 30-40 minutes for food. So minus 1 star for the 40 minute wait, and minus 1 star for the chef's comically preparation for medium rare. I'll keep coming back as long as they don't mess up my order :)

Ahh I love this place, food tastes great and prices are really reasonable compared to the fact that they could raise the prices because of the whole "Disneyland" thing but they don't!
(5)Natalie S.
When I walked into Steakhouse 55 I was prepared for shitty food with outrageous prices considering it's part of the Disneyland Hotel and on Disneyland property. However our waiter was wonderful and very generous. When we received the food I was amazed at the beautiful dishes, generous quantity and it was delicious. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised and happy I got a good meal to my buck. For breakfast I recommend the egg white omelette it was really good.

Exceeded expectations. For me, replaces Catal (in Downtown Disney, which I'll now declare as "Perfectly fine but indifferently run") as the go-to venue for nice on-campus meals during Disneyland visits. + Well-prepared steak. Porterhouse was done excellently without excessive seasoning, done rare to order, with a very tender filet portion. + Steaks arrive with bone marrow on the side. Yes! + Speaking of filet, the tartare prepared at the table was also delicious. And delightfully theatrical. + Outstanding staff, as you'd expect in a "cast member" operation. + Wine list is surprisingly interesting, and priced surprisingly reasonably. (We ordered a Quady North Syrah, 2008 vintage, for $54 which was ~2X retail. Come to think of it, that makes it remarkably reasonably priced.) + Piping hot bread. Kids will devour these. + Speaking of kids, their amuse-bouche was a mini-PB&J, which caused a minor panic with our peanut-allergy kid. Situation was well-saved when the replacement amuse, a mango sorbet, showed up. Desserts for amuse, WHAAT? - Lobster bisque was a creamed-down miss. - Service at the outside bar was disorganized and slow. - As reported elsewhere, table was not ready despite hurrying group to be fully present on time. Recommended. We will be back.

First time here and it was such a great experience! Our server Pearl was such a sweet lady. Our steaks were amazing! It was my mom's bday so we wanted to treat her somewhere fancy! And since my little brother works at the park, he used his cast member coupons. We ordered the famous 24 layer chocolate cake for dessert. Heaven! Definitely coming back! With or without coupons! Just have to save enough to spurge!

I have come to view the better Disney restaurants in Orlando and Anaheim as one of two classes: pricey and not so hot and pricey and completely worth it. This one is the former for a couple of reasons: 1. The steaks, while thick and seasoned, are not as amazing as stated on the menu. Also, in my case this night, it came out undercooked and after a bunch of little annoyances (10 mins to greet and then another 10 to get back to our table), I was underwhelmed. 2. The menu is expensive but nothing really warrants it. If anything, this menu reminds me of the Brown Derby in Hollywood Studios, which has a number of what appear to be stellar entrees but honestly it just falls down in execution. My recommendation is to stay away until they get the menu redone as they need to up their game if they are going to be at the flagship hotel at Disneyland and priced where they are.

Well I'm going to buck the trend of my friends and fellow yelpers at Bob's Christmas dinner PYE. 3 stars is being kind taking everything into consideration. We were in the Oak Room, which was very stylish and exclusive and the manager was great. Said manager Matt arranged to start our dinner party group off with some nice freebies: a glass of Prosecco to drink, and an apps-trio which included a stuffed mushroom, a prosciutto wrapped date and my fave, the olive & sundried tomato flatbread. Small little groups of us were treated to free wine tastings in the wine room and that was very nice and I ended up ordering a beautiful glass of a white wine from Germany. Warm sourdough and softened butter were on hand at the huge/long table and that was delicious, and tough not to fill up on those carbs! So it all sounds great and then wah, wah, wah, it fell apart. My filet mignon was bordering on cool and was sent back. Photo: yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… The potato stack was dry, boring and not worth eating. To Steakhouse 55's credit, both were replaced with a hotter and slightly juicier filet mignon and garlic mashed potatoes, which were a definite improvement over the other potatoes. I had a few bites here and there of other "sides" from my friends and was again unimpressed with anything. Disneyland Hotel's Steakhouse 55 is set up ala carte, with prices very similar to other fine steakhouses (think Flemings, Mortons, Mastro's, etc.). Unfortunately the food and especially the quality of the steak is definitely not up to par. Another tiny nitpick I personally have that nobody else has mentioned is the ladies room (and men's room for that matter) situation. There isn't one! You have to go back out the restaurant, back out through the entrance and lounge area, and you are back with the general public in the Disneyland Hotel and into the general public restroom, filled with bright lights and everything else that goes along with that. So a big shout-out of love to Monsieur Bob T. and his beautiful wife Ruth for arranging all of this and looking forward to next time! Thank you Matt for your generosity in pours in the wine room and other kindnesses.

After years in my bookmarks, i finally dined at Steakhouse 55 recently during OC Restaurant Week. Located within the Disneyland Hotel, they didn't seem to mind guests in park clothes. I myself spent the whole afternoon at the parks and were glad a dress code wasn't strictly enforced. I planned on choosing the pre fixe menu but couldn't resist ordering the ribeye. The annual passholder discounts didn't apply to the OC Restaurant Week menu plus i preferred the regular menu items. The filet serving size was smaller than normal and prime rib just isn't a bone in steak whether it's a great deal or not. The beginning of our meal started out perfectly. The sourdough bread was fresh and hot. I normally pass on any complimentary bread to save room but wound up eating half the loaf hah! We started off with the creamy lobster bisque. So good I could have and probably should have ended my meal after that. The ribeye came out many moments later... WELL DONE. No amount of butter could make up for the dryness. The kitchen was most likely overwhelmed with a packed dining room. Either way, i asked for medium and have high expectations of Disney signature dining and asked for another. They were very apologetic and a new dish was sent to our table shortly after. The ribeye was much better but halfway through the steak i realized we were missing our order of mac n cheese. Again, they were sorry and comped the side dish. We passed on dessert to avoid any more hitches. Overall, the food can be so good! I think consistency is just as important though. Unfortunately i don't know if i will return anytime soon.

I rarely give 5 starts, but when I come across an establishment that I find I rave about, then it gets it! We've been here about 6 times. A couple of times we brought folks with us (including a party of 10 - all relatives). Except for one time, they knocked it out of the park for the food. The staff has ALWAYS been very helpful to us, including some great wine suggestions. For a Disney "geek", the ambiance simply can't be beat. It's wonderful - and a complete departure of a 'theme park' restaurant. The place is pricey. Anybody can look it up and see that you'll easily spend about $100 per couple, more depending on which drinks you order or if you go for the best cuts. If you love food, then you know you get what you pay for. My wife usually has the Prix Fixe and has no complaints - about $40. I'm not sure why folks compare this place to the Napa Rose. Probably because they're both Disney and both in the Disney Resort area - but really, they're different restaurants catering to different people. I've been to both but prefer Steakhouse 55. (Yeah, NR is great - but it is way to pricey for me.) We can't afford to come here as often as I'd like (even with the AP discount), but would jump at any excuse to do so.

I came here on Friday with a bunch of pals to commemorate a reunion. I've eaten here many times before and absolutely LOVE it! The service is the best part, the food is amazing, and the ambiance is romantic and intimate. It's a great place to take a date, but be prepared to pull out the big bucks because this place ain't cheap by any means. It's akin to Morton's or Ruth Chris without the food chain effect and ridiculous wait times on weekends and provides a more intimate and close knit setting. You'll find a picture of Walt Disney hanging by the entrance way and plenty more frames of black and white movie stars throughout the restaurant. Though small, the service is incredible and the wine selection is a plus. I ordered a glass of the Malec, which paired perfectly with my steak and also went well as a drink. Our server, Nick, was very professional and gave us a lot of attention. We enjoyed making fun of his Romanian accent in front of him. I had the rib eye steak medium-rare, which was yummy in my tummy but not as flavorful as it once been in the past (I wonder what changed back there?). The sourdough bread and salted butter was a really good palette cleanser, and also helps stave off the hunger a bit. The creme brulee for dessert was super delicious and had the right amount of sweetness to it. Once again, a great experience!
(4)Sean C.
I was a little hesitant because I didn't want to venture outside the park very far. Reservation was important. Food is killer, server was extremely helpful.
(5)Martin G.
This is the second time I have had the pleasure of dining here. I got the bone in rib-eye, which is the house special, and it did not disappoint! This is literally the best steak I have ever had, and it will keep me coming back for more. The restaurant is nice, with a "classic steak house" vibe. This seems to be a negative point for some reviewers, but I feel as though it adds charm. One step inside the restaurant, and you can just feel the history. Service was top notch and everything you would expect from Disney. I highly recommend it!
(5)Stacey P.
Okay so the atmosphere was nice, Our server was pleasant and attentive, and the dessert was really really good. However the prices were outrages for the portions we received and they weren't even cooked properly. This is supposed to be a steakhouse. . . That apparently can't cook steak at the correct temperature. . . Also a person in my party ordered the short ribs and I kid you not, half of it was nothing but fat. The sides were very tasty. Honestly not sure if I would come back though, not for how much we spent. For me and my partner it ended up being about $150.00.

Well not quite as good as our epic 2012 Christmas dinner at The Ranch, but still a great time with some of my favorite Yelpers and their better halves. Bob T had set up last years dinner, and I started bugging him a month or so ago about following up with another holiday bash this year. Happily he said he would be up for picking out another local spot, and would get to work shortly. He not only set us up in a private room, but somehow hornswoggled management into allowing us a private wine tasting in their wine cellar hosted by Matt their sommelier. Gratis BTW, plus some gratis hors d'oeuvres as well. It is well known the man can deftly plan a party. Matt didn't have the elegant air about him that Michael Jordon did last year, but was still very knowledgeable, with a very casual approachable demeanor. It felt like hanging out with an old friend. During the tasting I asked him if he had a Zinfandel to recommend for my soon to be ordered filet mignon. He uncorked a 2008 Ridge that was perfect. It really opened up after 30 minutes or so, and was gently spicy enough that it went wonderfully with my seared bovine flesh. For my meal in addition to the filet, I ordered a Caesar salad, and asparagus with hollandaise. I should have eves dropped when Donna D also ordered the filet, and chose the blue cheese option as she did. Doh! Rookie mistake. The steak was decent, but slightly cooked past my requested medium rare, and for me, under-seasoned. I was thinking I should have ordered my second choice, the double cut pork chop. To be honest, I am kind of bored with beef lately, as I much more enjoy lamb and pork for my occasional meat heavy meals. As the soon to be famous novelist Sidney S would say, your mileage may vary, especially if you are a huge steak fan. If it wasn't for that Ridge pairing up so nicely, I would have been more disappointed in my selection. The Caesar was excellent, if a tad too dressed. The asparagus was cooked perfectly and the hollandaise was well made, if begging for a little more lemon, but that is a personal preference. The service was great for a party this large, not the most gregarious waitstaff, but pleasant and efficient. That is fine by me. Another incredibly fun holiday soiree Mr. T, and thanks again for your party planning expertise put to good use! Definitely worthy of my 600th Yelp review.
(4)Amy M.
I travel for business and have been fortunate enough to have experienced some amazing food. I can confidently say that Steakhouse 55 served me the best meal I've ever had. Filet, augratin potatoes, asparagus and creme brûlée. All out of this world!!! We are annual pass holders and frequent DL several times a year. We never miss the opportunity to dine at Steakhouse 55.
(5)Aaron J.
We were very excited to eat here since we always eat at Carthay circle and love it. First off the restaurant is very cozy and reminds of old Hollywood. We were seated and it took along time to acknowledge us. The table next to us were seated 5 minutes after us and had drinks before we were asked for drink order. The food...We ordered rib eye with the add on for lobster. We also had the Gruyere potatoes. We ordered the steak medium rare which should have been a little red but mostly pink. This steak was upper medium no red and a bit tough. The lobster was two bites and way over cooked. The potatoes were under done but tasty. We sent the steak back and were PROMPTLY served another. After cutting in the middle it was raw just seared, I guess that was a FU from the kitchen. By this time we had enough and just wanted our check.
(2)Mike C.
I wasn't impressed with the steakhouse. Specifically noting that the service was not up to par. I had a corner booth that was shared with another party. It seemed that the server, Martin, only came to my table if there were issues with both tables...ie knocking out both tables in one trip. And so there were many times where gaps between visits were extremely long. You pay for the service and as such, the prices do seem elevated despite not having Prime grade meat, but my bone-in rib eye was decent. At least they cooked it to my liking. As a side, I chose the asparagus with Hollandaise sauce. I probably would rather just have the asparagus by itself if I come back here. It really didn't compliment the steak. And as for the dessert, I chose the 24 layer cake...the main reason why I came here this evening. I really enjoyed the ice cream and toffee that came with it. And of course the 24 layers is a lot, but just by looking at it once they present it to you...it was like "this is it?!?!" Still it was a pretty good piece of cake. The lounge just outside the Steakhouse 55 is a complete joke. The bartender guy is slow and clueless. I purposefully sat at the lounge area and not at the bar because of this guy. The bartender guy still charged me for my drink despite telling him that I wanted to keep the tab open. What part of "keep this tab open" did you not understand? And he acknowleged it too. The only positive is that they have a free wi-fi, so I'll be defintely bring my laptop next time...if I come back. The minuses include said bartender, the super high priced semi-alcohol free drinks, and the lounge is open to both patrons for the Steakhouse 55 and the Goofy Kitchen. So families with loud kids will be congregating around this lounge as well The lounge chairs are pretty comfy though. Still, the overall experience came out to be neutral because my steak was decent and besides the 24 layer cake, they do have some really nice looking desserts. So if I come back here, I would want to taste the other desserts on the menu.
(3)Brandon W.
Went here for a date night and my BF's birthday while here on vacation. Food was amazing, service was good. Both had prime rib that was melt in your mouth. Garlic mash was sooo good as well as the 4-chz and bacon mac-n-cheese. The way Disney has decorated the place was so nice. Will def be here again if we are ever back here from Florida. I would say top 3 steakhouse that i have eaten at, and I have eaten at many all over our country.....
(5)Jarryn H.
Made a reservation for 6 pm, the hostess up front was very nice and inviting. And she quickly seated us at our table. The decor and lighting was perfect and all the staff were professional but not snooty. Made us felt welcomed the whole time. I've got the New York Strip (medium well) which was cooked perfectly and my fiancé got the Filet Mignon (medium well) which was also delicious and cooked perfectly. Side dishes were the mashed potatoes and the risotto dish, very delicious. And for dessert we had the 21 layer cake with a scoop of ice cream very good. Definitely this place was worth spending $140.00 for a two person meal.
(5)Michele L.
This place probably deserves more of a 3.5. Very classy and elegant setting (but no need to dress up in formal attire for). If you're planning on ordering a steak at any of the other restaurants in Downtown Disney, Disneyland, or DCA, please save yourself the disappointment and come here instead. Like any other high-end steakhouse, your steak does not come with any sides. I would highly recommend the Potato Stack Au Gratin (cheesy, creamy, and delicious). One tip to save yourself a few dollars if you plan on ordering scallops is, ask to complement your entree with seared scallops for $10 rather than ordering it as an appetizer for $14. It comes out prepared the same way and same portion (two scallops). The Filet Mignon ($35 for 8 oz) and Prime Rib ($30 for 20z) are solid choices and the best you will find during your Disney adventure, but they will most likely not be the best you've ever had. With that said, I would definitely recommend this restaurant for special occasions, a date, or simply because you're craving a steak. You will leave happy. The service is a little slow but the servers are definitely friendly and personable. The restaurant is also a bit hard to find. It is located past the pool of the Disneyland Hotel right next to Goofy's Kitchen. Also, don't forget to use your annual pass or employee discount!

My husband surprised me on our Honeymoon with dinner at Steakhouse55. We usually do Blue Bayou, Cove Bar and Trader Sams, but since we were celebrating we decided to try Steakhouse55 and...IT WAS AMAZING. Martin our server was great, had us laughing and did a great job showing us the wine menu and even bringing us out wine samples to pair with our dinner. My husband and I both had the filet minon mine with blue cheese his with butter.. and WOW! My taste buds were in heaven. We also got green beans sauteed in garlic and bacon and the potatoes Au Gratin they were exceptional. The whole dinner was perfect, the atmosphere was beautiful. I will definitley be going back to Steakhouse 55!

I don't think I've ever been in a restaurant for so long. Our reservation time was 7:00PM. Got in at 7:06. Were promptly seated in a nice and secluded corner of the restaurant. Behind us a large poster of one our servers "ex-girlfriend", Marilyn Monroe. The mood was nice, dark, and very relaxing. I've never been so relaxed at a restaurant. Our servers were amazing. Constantly pouring drinks, and giving us updates on our food. Took one hour for our steaks to come out. For some reason, it didn't feel like an hour. Time flew by, and I didn't mind the long wait. Weird. Usually when food takes a while, you get all grumpy, and moody. You're hungry, and you just want some damn steak in your belly. I have no Idea why this didn't happen here. The food arrived, and Jesus, sweet baby Jesus. it was fucking delicious. I ordered the Porterhouse, with butter on top. The damn meat melted in my mouth. The mix of the butter, and the meat, oh gawd, my mouth is getting all wet again. The potato stack, holy shit. 9:00 PM hits, we are done. At this point, after stuffing our faces, that should have been it. But no. We stay for desert, and order the 24 layer cake slice, with ice cream on the side. This was the only downside to the night. The cake was good, but I'm not a huge fan of dark chocolate. 10:00 PM arrives. Our server brings out a little fudge cake, with a happy anniversary chocolate in the front. I forgot that the hostess, had asked me if we were celebrating anything special today. It amazed me that they even did this, and it was on the house. It wasn't very good, maybe I was still too deep into chocolate to enjoy it, but its the thought that matters. If you're not a fan of waiting for your food, or coughing up more than usual for steaks, this is not the place for you. All I can say is, I had a very nice experience here. The time just flew by, and I really enjoyed every moment. After dinner, we headed on the empty monorail headed to Disneyland. My wife in my arms, passing by all the rides. Such a good night.

Good, but not great. 4 stars for a Disneyland Restaurant, 3.5 stars compared to other steakhouses in general. Appetizers: Ahi - delicious, but over dressed. My favorite dish from everything we ordered. Shrimp Cocktail - good, but nothing to write home to mom about. Comes with 4 shrimp and a really good side salad/garnish. Warm Sourdough bread served with room temperatutre butter - always brownie points in my book Main: Filet - good Ribeye - good, well seasoned Side: Broccoli with garlic - a bit bland, but edible Garlic Mashed Potatoes - really good Dessert: 24 layer Chocolate cake - good, better when you can share it. It's huge! Prices were reasonable. 15% off for premium annual passholders. Service was great. When you order a glass of wine, they bring the whole bottle over for you to take a taste before they pour you a glass. Nice touch! It was actually pretty busy for a Wednesday night. Reservations recommended. Enjoy!

I made reservations which help it was a busy Friday night. Customer skills need to improve the food was delicious I have no complaints I had the t-bone and my girlfriend had the fillet they were both cook perfectly.

I am a huge Disney fan, and I also loveeeee steakhouses! So when I found out about steakhouse 55 I just had to try it! It took a whole bit I finally found myself here for dinner tonight. The service- the service here is excellent! Everyone was so nice and cheerful. I actually had to end up sending my prime rib back twice( I know I felt just awful about it;( ) for being too well done, and out waitress was so nice and sweet about it! The food- the prime rib was defintely not up to par but my boyfriend had the bone in rib eye and that was excellent! The mashed potatoes were absolutely amazing, a little spicy with a few dashes of pepper corn or something like that. And the mac and cheese! My boyfriend doesn't even like Mac and cheese and he was fighting me to finish every last drop! Simply amazing! Overall I would definitely come back, for another special occasion or something like that. But if you are a fan of prime rib definitely skip this place!

I made reservations here for breakfast on my boyfriend's birthday. We waited about fifteen minutes until we were seated. Upon entering, I noticed all the wall decor and pictures. I was tripping out! I loved every single one. A little ol' lady came by as our waiter. My boyfriend ordered steak and eggs, with orange juice. I ordered a simple breakfast plate with over easy eggs, bacon, sausage and a short stack of pancakes. In between waiting half an hour, we watched another table get seated, order, and had their food delivered. By that time, we were asking ourselves where our food was. We did not ask our waiter because we tried to be as patient as possible. Later, she noticed that we did not have our food and then said that she accidentally dropped the receipt order. What?! We were thinking, great, we needed to move on with our day, but yet we still needed to wait for our food. We watched as the few tables next to us finish and leave until our food arrived. It took an hour. Management had come and ask if we needed anything. Our waiter was nice, so it was hard not getting frustrated over her. Both ends were courteous. By the end of our breakfast, we received the orange juice free of charge, along with a complimentary birthday cupcake. Steak was pretty juicy, and I loved the pancakes! Both dishes came with fruit. I will come back to try this restaurant for dinner.

Our first experience was for the 5th anniversary of our 21 yr old daughter birthday. (she died 4/09) it was a very emotional time for us and we wanted to celebrate this day someplace really special and nice. I had informed the hostess what the night was and she told me she would take care of everything. We were seated immediately and our server was amazing. I had the pork chop with apples and it was heavenly. We also shared the green beans and potato au-gratin. The food was amazing and beyond out of this world. My husband loved the green beans and he isn't much into veggies. After our dinner the server came by with the mickey face dessert and told he he understood this was a special night for us and happy birthday to our daughter. It was very special that he didn't make a big deal out of it but that he seemed to understand the significance of the day, When I returned to celebrate my BBF of 43 yrs not having cancer I knew we needed to have dinner at Steakhouse 55. Once again this did not disappoint. We were seated right away at the table with Lucille Ball's and Richy Ricardo's picture. My friend had the salmon and told me it was the best she had ever had. We again shared the green beans and potatoes. Afterwards the mickey dessert was brought to us for our celebration. This is a place I plan to dine at every time I come to Disneyland. It is fabulous.

We were here a few wks ago for the OC restaurant week. The food and service was great. my only issues is the traffic getting there... we got there late, they were understanding. We had prime rib and steak-good.

Overpriced food for mediocre steaks. My party ordered all different steaks and even the lamb. Everyone said it was mediocre. Very disappointing! Even found a hair under one of our steaks. They apologized and took it off the bill. Verdict: Better off going to Ruth Chris. We regret coming here. Service is mediocre as well.
(1)Thuy H.
The food was OK. A little pricey for what it was, but enjoyable. My friend and I ordered the prime rib, New York steak, mac&cheese, mushroom, baked potato, and ended it all with the 24-layer cake. We never did finish any of it so I'm not sure if they served too much food, or if it just wasn't amazing. My only real gripe is that it took FOREVER for them to give us our check. Some people just want to eat and go, you know?
(3)Christine C.
Holy smokes. What an amazing meal. Martin was our server and he was top notch. I enjoyed my ribeye and the scrumptious risotto. (TO DIE FOR) and the green beans (YUMMMM) and my hubby had the porterhouse (SERIOUSLY MELTED IN MY MOUTH). Enjoyed a Blue martini. (If you like Sour Patch Kids, you'll love the Blue Martini). Highly recommend this place!!
(5)Allen H.
Food is awesome! I've been here about three times and I am never disappointed. The service can be slightly sketchy at times, but just focus on the food.

I've had dinner here three times in the last year at business meetings or conferences, most recently two weeks ago. Every single time I've been let down by the unpolished and seemingly untrained staff. Disney likes to call their employees "Cast Members", and apparently at Steakhouse 55 these "Cast Members" are all dressed up and pretending to be fine dining staff, when it's obvious they have no real fine dining training or skills. Without fail on each visit, the waiters and waitresses and particularly the hostesses were unpolished and unprofessional. They don't present the menu well, can't explain the sides except to say everything is "very good", and have a working-class level of diction and deportment. Their patter with the table was always awkward and/or brusque. Often the table was left unattended for 15 minutes or longer. But because Disney has uniformed them in fancy duds and decorated the dining room gorgeously, these "Cast Members" serve up their lack of skillset with a dollop of attitude. As if attitude covering their lack of training somehow makes them "fancy". Anyone who knows the service received at Morton's, Ruth's Chris, Pelican Hill, or any number of OC's fine dining restaurants knows that snotty attitude is not how you impress your customers, nor does it excuse your lack of training. And not once has a manager stopped by my table to check on us. Is there even management running this place? The sad thing about this is that the food at Steakhouse 55 is really quite good. The side dishes were all perfect, and I've tried almost a half dozen of them. My favorite is the creamed corn, truly spectacular. The wine list is impressive, although the waiters won't help you with a choice (I suspect they just don't know much about it) and will expect you to do that work for them. Desserts and sides are large and can easily be shared, but the staff won't tell you that. The steaks are really very good, a nice touch is the marrow bones provided with most cuts. The chef and kitchen staff are very talented and are working with top quality ingredients. The dining room itself is lovely and posh. Table linens and serving ware are top notch. The bar out front is less so, as you get a theme park crowd in tank tops and mouse ears right next door to a Mickey Mouse Buffet joint. Fun if you are 8, less so if you are old enough to drink. The hostess staff does absolutely nothing to keep the bar and restaurant entry area picked up and straightened, and their level of polish and personal presentation is sorely lacking the moment you check in with them. I love a good steakhouse, but I won't return to Steakhouse 55 unless I have to for business reasons. It's a lovely room with excellent food, served up by a messy staff who clearly have no idea what fine dining service is supposed to be like. Sorry to say it Mouseketeers, but dressing up in a fancy outfit and pretending to be snotty is not how you do it.

It was just ok. We went for Easter dinner and my wife's birthday. Poor selection on the kid's menu (we were at a steakhouse and there wasn't a steak option on the menu.). Had to buy my 11 yr old daughter over $50 worth of steak and potatoes. I had a rib eye that was excellent but my wife and daughter had filets that were just ok. Didn't even stay for desert since the service was very slow.
(3)Angie R.
I had my first date here with my boyfriend back in July of 2013. I had never been here because I felt too poor/ghetto to come here. It was silly of me to think that! Now I always want to go back. It is super quiet and the staff is friendly. The bartenders are amazing and funny. My boyfriend enjoys interacting with staff so if the staff can joke with him then it's made our day. The first time I went I had the pork chop (it was really good, I recommend it!) with an appetizer and a side with some wine. We had some scallops, really good, and some asparagus. That was yummy too. Now I don't for that as much. I've gone maybe 5 times since last year and I just head straight for the rib-eye. It's just so nicely prepared at this restaurant.
(5)Laura B.
Probably the fanciest breakfast I'll ever have while at a theme park. This restaurant is very classy with pictures on the walls of classic celebrities who have dined here throughout history. The service was very good, however the gentleman who refilled our water was friendlier than our actual server. The food was delicious and you definitely get the bang for you buck. I ordered the two times four, which came with pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, and fruit. You'll have to be rolled out.
(5)Jim P.
What a horrible experience! The area that our table was in, was freezing. I had to put my napkin over my arms. When I told the waitress, she said she would talk to someone. The food was ok, but overpriced. I live and work in Vegas where we demand customer service, this place fails! Nothing was done, no apologies, nothing taken off the bill. On top of it, my wife and I both had the Steakhouse 55 salad, and both of us spent most of our evening with upset stomachs!!! Never again.

My wife and I have been been coming to Disneyland since we met over eight years ago. We've eaten at every restaurant on the Disney property except for the steakhouse. Last night we celebrated our anniversary and decided to try out Steakhouse 55. We made reservations the week prior and were seated almost immediately upon arrival. The ambience was very relaxing and the overall appearance was clean. The atmosphere was a jazzy 40s and 50s style with retro black and white photos of celebrities from that era on the walls. The menu is very straightforward in typical steakhouse fashion; each guest orders their individual entrée and the sides are served family style Unfortunately that's about The only nice thing that I can say about this restaurant. Even though we were seated almost immediately upon our arrival, our waitress Selena took her sweet time to even address our presence. We were brought a tough burnt loaf of sourdough bread with butter and that was the last time we saw anyone for almost 20 minutes. Selena's attention must've been on anything but work that night as she finally came back to the table to take our order. I mentioned to her that my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and that it was our first time inside the restaurant. Afraid that we wouldn't see our waitstaff for another millennia we opted to just do water instead of soft drinks,wine,or mixed drinks. We decided to just order our appetizers and entrées while we had Salinas attention. My wife ordered the mixed house salad and the 16 ounce ribeye. I ordered the onion soup and the prime rib. We split a side of the scalloped potatoes. The starters were subpar and the onion soup was lukewarm. The assorted variety of different types of lettuce did not impress in the salad and the house dressing is just ranch mixed with the steak rub spices. Selena returned to the table after her 25 minute hiatus away from us to enjoy our lack luster appetizers. She promised us refills on our water and after gathering our plates she disappeared for another 14 minutes. She returned with the entrées and our shared side of potatoes. The food was luke warm and generically presented on odd shaped plates. Although my steak was cooked to perfection it absolutely lacked in any flavor. It came with a side of creamy horseradish and what I can only assume was an attempt at aus jou. There wasn't enough salt and pepper at the table to breathe any life of flavor back into my prime rib. My wife's ribeye however was very tender and had a fantastic flavor. It was cooked with a dry rub and was very delicious. The one thing I did marvel at with the food was the scalloped potatoes. They were extra creamy and extremely delicious. Had I known that my steak would have lacked in flavor so much I would have made a meal out of the potatoes! Selena returned after being away again for quite some time for some small talk while we were trying to enjoy our meal. I mentioned again that we were celebrating our anniversary but we were rudely interrupted by her ringing phone in her pocket. She was abrupt with her conversation with us and left to go answer her phone. Another 20 minutes goes by and Selena comes back to offer us dessert. She puts away her phone after sending a text message and gives us two desert menus. Every other restaurant we've dined at in the parks has always gone out of their way to help us celebrate our special occasions. Unfortunately because Selena was so engrossed with her telephone she missed an awesome opportunity to help us celebrate our anniversary. When I mentioned it again during dessert she was surprised to find out that we were celebrating anything and still didn't care to accommodate for our special night. We order desserts and tried to enjoy the peacefulness of the restaurant. However the wait staff were so loud joking and playing games in the back room that it ruined the ambience for all of the guests. One of the servers had rolled up in a napkin and was hitting another server in the butt all in plain view of the restaurants guests. At one point the table adjacent to us actually had to get up to retrieve the waiter for refills on drinks. The table behind us had to fetch their waitress just to get their check. A huge restaurant FAIL. Thankfully the train wreck of table-service finally came to an end and she brought our bill. Appetizers, two steaks, a side of potatoes, and two desserts $140. If you're looking for bland food at premium prices with mediocre service I highly recommend steakhouse 55. If you expect any kind of standard when it comes to food service preparation and overall friendliness from the waitstaff look elsewhere as this is not the restaurant for you. Thank you Disneyland for ruining our anniversary dinner, it was certainly memorable.

Ordered the prime rib medium rare and it was pretty good, I really liked the horseradish sauce that came with it. Also ordered the potato gratin stack and it was good as well but I was not expecting a tiny little square of potatoes for $9. Was too full to try the 24 layer cake but maybe next time!
(4)Arthur T.
Best restaurant in Disneyland that I have visited so far. The food was the best!! Our waitress was a small filipino lady and my girlfriend being filipino, they had MUCH to talk about so I can work on my food instead of making conversation LOL! But anyway!! Lobster bisque was just perfection, they show you the amount of lobster before the pour the actual soup in to show you that they're giving you the best quality that they have. Also, the New York Strip is the way to go for meat lovers such as myself. Finally, to end the night, we had a 12 layered chocolate fudge cake of some sort and it was literally the best cake I ever had. Mouthgasm and im sorry for the inappropriateness but mouthgasm is the only way to explain it.

For us, date nights come far and few in between so we take them pretty seriously. More often than not, we choose a steakhouse because he's not much the adventurous type. I usually save weirder cuisine for my girl friends. We were debating over our usual Ruth's Chris, Capital Grille or maybe we needed the thrill of something new --Steakhouse 55. I suppose this time, thrilling and new won over tried and true. Parking is relatively easy, and once you check in, you are ushered towards their lounge area which seems to also serve those adults who need a drink or two, after spending the entire day with them damn kids at disneyland. The dining area is dimly and amber lit, with an old, vintage feel but we were slightly thrown off by the lavender lamps. Strange. Almost as if the lavender lips were a poor afterthought. We were unfortunately seated next to a huffy man and his family who appeared as if trying to get whatever he could for free and then some. Anyway, he was annoying but that had no bearing on this review. The sourdough loaf was a great way to start that meal. It was served with an impressive amount of butter. Needless to say, we killed that quick. We both ordered rib eyes, and I was a bit thrown off that they charged $4 for it to be topped off with butter. I ordered mine with butter and discreetly rolled my eyes. This damn butter better be good. We also got a baked potato and their famous au gratin potatoes. The steak was bone in, 18 oz, cooked to a nice medium rare, but it was completely lacking in flavor. The actual steak in and of itself wasn't $$$ quality, relative to its pricing. The butter was also a vast disappointment and didn't add anything particularly special. The au gratin potatoes were delicious--creamy and comforting. I should have ordered two of those. We ended the meal with a creme brulee which was beautifully presented, but it was just OK. after you break through the crispy crust, the custard beneath was just, well...just OK. I will not be returning to steakhouse 55. Considering my date nights come very rarely, I would much rather spend the time, money and appetite towards a meal that would be on point from start to finish.

Everyone is raving about the dinner, as it should be raved about. But let me take a moment to rave about BREAKFAST. This breakfast is incredible!!! Huge portions and you can share. The Two Times Four was great, get it!

Hubby and I are frequent visitors to prime steakhouses such as Flemings, Mastros, Morton's and Ruths Chris. We were very impressed with Steakhouse 55. Our prime bone in ribeyes were great .Mine was well done instead of the medium well I asked for, but I did not deduct a star because everything tasted so great and the service was wonderful. DEFINITELY get the crab cake--no bell pepper to drown the taste (can someone please arrest the idiot chef who started the "bell pepper in crab cake" craze?), no fillers, just incredible deliciousness served over a mushroom fricasse and garnished with pomegranate kernels. Need I say more? Great cocktails too! I would skip the broiled oysters next time--very small, barely any oyster meat. Next time, I'll get their lobster bisque instead. The steaks were really good and OHHHH, the sides; truffle mac n cheese--yes, I know every high end place has a "truffle mac n cheese" but NONE of them compare. I couldn't stop eating it--it was SCARY. Now to the gruyere delmonico potatoes. To call this "scalloped potatoes" or "potatoes au gratin" does not do it any justice. The only side I didn't care for was the duck fat fries. Not crispy enough, and the sweet blood orange sauce served with it was totally out of place. Desserts were yummy though. Great wine selection as well.
(5)Deana C.
Ok. I know it's a Disney place but you forget that when you're here! What a great steakhouse. I will say that it is excellent steak. So many reviews of steakhouses say they have great appetizers or sides or dessert. Want I want to know is how is the STEAK. Here the answer is great! Pricey but who isn't?
(5)Jennifer L.
Started off with the scallop appetizer which was awesome. Smokey with a great crust! Then followed with the porterhouse steak medium rare, and loved it. Had the scallop potatoes (peppery and delicious) and the green beans with bacon as a side (best green beans I've ever had!)!! Also had Fairytale Cuvée which was delicious! Loved my meal and would come again!!
(5)Chuck P.
A small, intimate throw back steakhouse with a nod to the glamour of the past with its large images of movie stars shown at restaurants and night club tables. The service is excellent (make sure to ask to be seated at Nicks tables). The wine list is decent. The dishes here are deliciously prepared. My favorite is the prime rib, but the filet minion and the salmon are also excellent. Be prepared to spend a bit more than usual, but it is well worth the occasional visit.
(4)Sabrita R.
Very elegant and nice place,the service was very good and fast and we started with lobster bisque and for main course we have ribeye steak which was over cooked we asked for medium and they came out well done and I had yellowfin tuna which was soo horrible and it had no taste,dry and smelt soo fishy that I couldn't eat my dinner at all. The mashed potatoes were good and dessert on the house since our food was not at all good. We had the 24 layer cake which was one the best cake I ever had.i think it's over priced for the food that was not at all good.
(3)pamela h.
A Fantastic steakhouse in Disneyland hotel. Would go back again and again. As expected it has a hefty price tag but every bit was delicious and the atmosphere calm, which is what you want after a hectic day in the park.

My parents took me here for my birthday and I was so excited! I had the filet mignon and it was perfect. We also shared the steakhouse salad, potatoes au gratin, sauteed mushrooms, and green beans with bacon. Needless to say, I was stuffed and I ended up taking home half of my little filet. My only criticism is that the side dishes were super salty - the green beans clearly had added salt on top of the salty bacon. We had a little trouble finding it at first because the directional signs kind of stopped in front of Goofy's Kitchen. It's actually inside the building, so go in. The entrance is right next to the Goofy's Kitchen entrance. Make reservations in advance. The dining room was not full when we went on a Monday night, but we heard them tell another couple that they had to reserve. Good alternate to Napa Rose if you're looking for a fancy dinner.

1st anniversary dinner with my boyfriend service and food was flawless i have a couple food allergies so the exec chef came out and sat down with us to customize our menu and make everything safe for me! he was super friendly and accommodating. i had a glass of albarino white wine which was delicious and a HUGE pour :)) we split: shrimp cocktail asparagus potatoes gratin herb crusted rib eye our total was around $120 which is beyond reasonable for 2 ppl. cant wait to come back
(5)Sergio B.
A very solid place. This place definitely met my expectations. The steaks are done well and the sides that we ordered were good. Very tasty!!! The 24 layer cake was fabulous. Service was good. I had a coupon that cut our price in half so the price value of our meal was tremendous! I would recommend this place! I don't think you'll be disappointed. Oh yeah beware of the crying kid.
(4)Amanda F.
My girlfriend took me here for an anniversary dinner, & although I might sound slightly pretentious, it was honestly one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had. The waitress (Selena) was incredibly personable, and knew her menu up and down, back & forth. We started out with a lump crabcake & seared beef carpaccio. I've never had anything like that carpaccio. It was amazing. And the crabcake was easily the best I've ever had. Thanks to a little magic from the chef, we also tried the tagliatelle pasta, & the seared scallops, which of course were seared to perfection. Our main course arrived, dropped by the adorable runner (Stephanie). My girlfriend got the filet mignon, & I had the 14 oz. New York strip. They were the perfect definition of "melt-in-your-mouth." Again because of the chef, we got sides of creamed corn, mashed potatoes, crisp spinach, & seasonal risotto. The star of those sides was the creamed corn. It was so clearly fresh & had such a pop of flavor. Throughout our entire meal Selena was checking on us, making sure everything was to perfection. When our meal was over, the chef brought out a slice of 24-layer chocolate cake right to our table, & it was one of the most delicious, rich cakes I've ever had. I could not be more pleased with my dinner this evening. Thank you so much to everyone at Steakhouse 55. It was unforgettable.
(5)Christi Lynn C.
This is one of our new favorites. For breakfast ask for Juan Jesus! He is adorable. The manager is always on the floor and the hostess are very friendly. The atmosphere is fun old Hollywood. I love the big cozy booths. Food is soooo good! Especially for the prices.
(5)John S.
We had a birthday dinner and breakfast here. First time at Steahouse 55 but we've stayed at the Disney Hotel many times. The food is pretty good, I couldn't complain. It's not the best but it's a nice atmosphere and decent food. We had dinner one evening, got a fish plate and a steak plate and both were good. We had breakfast a couple mornings later and it was good too. We had recently got engaged and our server, a japanese lady asked about it. She was so nice to us. She gave us Mickey Mouse cupcakes to celebrate, I left her an extra big tip. It really made our morning special. We also had a celebrity sighting when we ran into Adam Scott from Parks and Rec that morning at the restaurant. He sat at the table right next to us.
(4)Cassy H.
We went here for my husband's birthday with the family based on reviews on Yelp and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and food was very good. Our server Martin was very helpful on the wine selection and completely attentive through out the evening. He really helped make our celebration special.
(4)Rob H.
This place is really good. Great wine selection, good craft beers to choose from. It's Disney so the wait staff is always going to be very friendly and accommodating. The appatizers were alright , more geared for seafood fans. Side dishes were good but not amazing. Steak was very good, not fatty, not under/over cooked, very moist. Desert was very good and selection was good too. Kind of a nusance to get to unless your staying there. Bathroom was a good distance away from resteraunt requiring a little of a journey. ..I feel it should be located within the confines of the resteraunt. ..really enjoyed but there's no 4.5 stars so they get a 4...the ranch is still king of nice steakhouses!
(4)Candace K.
Ordered the prime rib and got it cooked medium rare, but when they brought it out it was more like a medium well. It wasn't juicy and tender like lawrys. It was kind of tough to chew on actually. The potato au gratin was excellent however and very flavorful. For dessert we ordered the creme brûlée and chocolate mousse which were also good. The mousse had Mickey ears! Service was fantastic and our server and the bussers were very attentive, clearing our table and refilling our glasses. I would probably be back to try their steaks, but for prime rib I will stick to lawrys :).
(3)Anthony G.
We went here for our anniversary with our family. Very nice atmosphere. We had good service and good food. Loved the fresh bread and butter, the mash potatoes, Mac and cheese, and asparagus. The 12 layer chocolate cake was amazing. I had the rib eye which was average. I ordered it well done. It was kind of burnt on the outside and very pink on the inside. But overall was a great experience.
(4)Andy V.
When I heard there was a steakhouse in Disneyland, I naturalyl thought it'd be a bizillion dollars and there'd be a long long long reservation wait. Not so! Steaks are actually decently priced! One thing is that when you order the meat, you gotta order sides on your own. I had the risoto and mac and cheese. Great. Prime rib is also good too. Not House of Prime Rib calibur, but still decent for the price. Drinks were also good. I had 2 manhattans. This is a good change of pace for those looking for something less 'family' oriented at Disney. I love Disney and all it's magic, but this was nice too.
(4)Daisy K.
I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate his new promotion. We were excited to have a nice meal, especially since I've been reading so many positive reviews in the past year or so about the steakhouse. We parked in the Downtown Disney parking lot, as we were told we'd get up to 5 hours of free parking with validation. It was an easy walk from the parking lot to the hotel. Finding the steakhouse was another issue - it's tucked inside the entrance of Goofy's Kitchen with no obvious signs that it's also an entrance for the steakhouse. Next door were raucous children waiting for Goofy to drop in on their dinners. Nothing wrong with that, but I was crossing my fingers hoping that none of those loud children were in the steakhouse... and they weren't! My only qualm is that service was absurdly slow here - waiting for our waitress, for our bread, and for our main entrees. We got several apologies, which is a great sign you are paying attention to your diners, but it really felt like they were understaffed. The drink list is strictly wines, but you can request the bar menu as well and they will make signature cocktails for you at your table as well. I ordered the crab cakes as starters, then their signature bone in ribeye with their special Steakhouse 55 rub as an entree, and a porterhouse for the boyfriend. The crabcakes were $16 for two, but I should have known they'd be the size of dollar coins. So small... not sure it was worth $16, even though the crab was moist and flavorful. Our steaks took some time to come out and while we both ordered them medium rare, both came out fairly well done. Oops? The porterhouse was overcooked and tasteless, so we sent it back. It was somewhat unfortunate, but they actually did comp his meal even though he did get a new steak order in. This was something the restaurant didn't have to do, since my boyfriend wasn't putting up a fit. Overall, with the comped steak, the price was good for two people. However, out of all the steakhouses I've been to, I'd say Fleming's or Ruths' Chris are better options in this price range.
(3)Catherine M.
First time here last week for friday dinner. We made reservation and was seated promptly. The atmosphere and design was very old school hollywood. There was a lot of pictures of celebrity that have dined. We had crab cakes for appetizers. It was really good. For entree, i had the pork chop with apple sauce on the side. It was cooked perfectly and tasted great. My hubby had the signature prime. For sides we had the mac and cheese and the potato au gratin. The potato was yummy. The mac and cheese was a bit light. I guess i expected something richer when 4 cheese are used. The best part of the meal is the 24 layer chocolate cake. BEST chocolate cake i've ever tasted.
(4)Amaryllia L.
Three coworkers and I were in town for a week-long conference and staying at the Disneyland Hotel. We were exhausted after our 4-hour flight and starving so this was the easiest option. We ordered: * Calamari for appetizer * 2 18-oz Porterhouse * 1 7-oz Filet Mignon * 1 12-oz Prime Rib * Asparagus, Broccoli, Rosemary Roasted Potatoes for the table to share * 2 glasses of Reisling * 4-6 beers * Creme Brûlée for dessert Grand total pre-tip: $220 My main gripe with this place is that my prime rib came out overcooked and cold (around room-temperature). They were able to redo it for me but it was still only average tastiness the second time. Everyone else liked their steaks but we all agreed that the sides were just okay. The best part was the creme brûlée...much larger than I had expected and quite delicious. All in all, standard steakhouse with a good bit of markup for being in the hotel... I wouldn't come again. For a short walk, you can get better priced food and better selection in Downtown Disney.

My husband and I love eating at Steakhouse 55. The first time we ate there was about 4 years ago after a long day at Disneyland. It has since become our "go to" date night restaurant. The service is always top notch! Our favorite server is Nick. He is the best...friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and always has a smile on his face. We have had other servers there as well and they have all been great. The food is fantastic. The sourdough bread is always hot and fresh. I LOVE the caesar salad, better there than any other steak house. I have tried several entrees, but I always go back to the filet mignon: tender, juicy and always cooked to perfection. They also have a wonderful selection of side dishes which are portioned to share. Make sure to save room for dessert...the chocolate cake is great, but my favorite is the creme brulee. I would highly recommend dining at Steakhouse 55 if you haven't yet.
(5)Lori E.
Amazing dinner! But the dessert is something to save room for. The Root beer Baked Alaskan with a Root Beer Float Shot! Oh it is what dreams are made of.

I was staying at the Disneyland hotel for the week for a conference. Some coworkers and I decided to go here for dinner since it was easy. We didn't want to drive out to a chain steakhouse nearby (Ruth's Chris, Morton's, etc...). I give this place 3 stars because of the quality of the food. We relied on the waiter for recommendations for our meal. We started with the Ahi Tuna appetizer- two different types of Ahi- Poke and thinly sliced- this was extremely fresh Ahi which was delicious. Next up we ordered the garden salads- spring mix, pecans, and rasberries. This was just OKl- we ordered bleu cheese crumbles on the side to enhance the salad. What was most disappointing about the meal was the recommended Ribeye- ordered Medium Rare. Extremely tough, excessively fatty (more than a normal marbleized ribeye, and overdone. We were so hungry we decided to eat it- mistake for an expensive steak. The sides were broccoli and greenbeans- extremely al dente so if you like them a bit soft order them that way. All in all the service was great but the steak was horrible. We should have given them the chance to remedy the situation but did not. I might give this place another chance while I'm here but wanted to warn people about the 'signature ribeye'.

This place was a bit of a surprise for Disney dining. Hubs and I got some cocktails from the bar in front before being seated. For a hotel bar the prices were pretty fair. I enjoyed a simple Kahlua and cream and he got himself a chocolate martini with a little swirl cocoa straw. About halfway through the meal we were feeling pretty good. (We are not big drinkers.) I convinced the hubs to get the prefix menu with me. What a great value. Salad to start with a steak, vegetable, shoestring fries and creme brulee to end out the meal. Service wasn't overly friendly but they were polite. We both enjoyed our meal without feeling rushed and the place wasn't too crowded. Kind of odd that it's next to a kiddie restaurant but once inside I only heard a few really loud screams. If I'm ever back at Disney I would consider eating here again.

All I got to say is this place is worth every cent. Not meant for kids and people without palettes. I say this place is way better than Morton's. The rib eye was cooked perfectly, my partner ordered the New York and wished he would have spent a bit extra for the rib eye. The spring green salad was awesome. Potatoes au gratin and Mac and cheese was to die for. Nick and Alfredo were our servers they exceeded expectations for service. Wow!

This review is based upon breakfast at Steakhouse 55 . I found it to be a charming restaurant. The decor is very nice, and, the service was outstanding. A friend and I each ordered different things and shared. We had the Sunrise Burrito (eggs, chorizo, potatoes & cheese in a tortilla with sour cream & guac on the side) and Eggs Benedict. Both were awesome. I'd have both again in a heartbeat. In fact, next time I'm headed to Disneyland, I plan to go again! It was so nice to start the day in a low key, lovely restaurant, where there weren't a million screaming kids (like character breakfasts....since we were all adults) and where we could relax with coffee and a decent meal before hitting the park where we'd be eating churros, ice cream, popcorn & total non-foods all day! Highly recommend Steakhouse 55! If not for dinner, try breakfast. The prices are reasonable as well.

My friends and I ate here last year and we all honestly had one of the best steak dinners ever. This year, it just got better. As the screaming kids are lining up to see Goofy at Goofy's kitchen, there is a quiet and swank location just to the right of them. Here is where the magic of Steakhouse 55 begins. The friendly maître d' takes your name and seats you. This allows the server to arrive calling you by name, which is a great start! I enjoyed steak and eggs for three consecutive days here and will always consider this as my favorite breakfast and dinner location at disneyland. The steak is a perfectly cooked-to-order 7oz sirloin, eggs served as you like, along with some country-style potatoes with just enough onion and red pepper. Ask for a free side of warm, fire-roasted salsa and you are set! The coffee is REALLY good and after your breakfast, the staff will be more than happy to do your final refill in a to-go cup so that you can continue to enjoy your coffee as you walk to the parks. All of this for only $20! I mean, I spend more at IHOP for breakfast and definitely don't get the quality and excellent service that this place provides. There were families present, also. They do have a kids menu, but without the screams or cries at Goofy's kitchen. On to dinner... Wow. My friends and I were blown away, again. The bar serves up some great libations, but we tend to stick with their excellent French 75 cocktails. This year, we were seated right next to their glassed-in, temperature-controlled wine room, and as we were being seated we made a fun comment about being so close to the wine and we were told, "ask your server for a free wine tasting inside." We were blown away that our server took the time to take all four of us back during a busy, peak-hour saturday and let us taste six varieties of red wines to go with our steaks. We got to experience some excellent wines and the server got to sell us a great bottle that we all enjoyed. My filet mignon was only $36 (not a bad price at all for an upscale steakhouse) and I got a side of gooey blue cheese for it. Note - that some of their sides like the awesome broiled mushrooms are enough for an entire table of four, so order these one at a time. Tip - ALWAYS have a reservation. The really good dinners at the disneyland resort sell-out way in advance. You might want to even call and get your reservation before you leave for your trip so that your table is waiting without you stressing out. This place will always be our favorite dinner spot at the resort.

Came here in a large group on Sunday morning for a breakfast/bunch birthday celebration. We had reservations so we had several tables reserved in the center room. The staff seemed like they really want to work with us since we were a large group sitting at different tables. Staff was nice. Older staff members, I noticed. Nothing wrong with that. Food was good. Fancy breakfast. I wanted steak and eggs ($17), but things were so hectic I opted for the simple French Toast ($12) with coffee. Had a premium AP discount so that helped with the group gratuity. Def want to come back and try the lunch and dinner menu. I also want a chance to take in the beautiful restaurant.

I can't believe I forgot to share my "unedited" notes of the Winemaker event: Winemaker Dinner - Chappellet Winery I don't really Xanga as much anymore, unless it's something important. This past Friday, my brother took me to the Food and Wine Winemaker Dinner at Disneyland. It's an event where they invite a winemaker to tell a story (isn't that what they always do at Disneyland) about their wine and the chef creates a menu that pairs with the wine. The food was pretty good and the wine complimented the food well. I'm not big on wine yet (I swear I'm not an alki), but it's interesting how each wine paired perfectly with the food, but if you tried another wine with the same food, the wine wouldn't taste as good because it isn't as smooth, or would overpower the food. I'll just post some pictures and my unedited rough notes that I typed out on my phone during the dinner with the price per bottle. The event was at Steakhouse 55, next to the Disneyland Hotel. 0. Good beginning wine not as much flavor as the signature chardonnay. Lacking cheese to go with the wine. $41 Here is the menu. The Kurobuta pork was like no other pork I've ever eaten. It's like the "Kobe Beef" of pork. 1. Wine is buttery and oak taste. Pork is very flavorful, balanced out with the beet applesauce. Compliment the wine well. $62 2. 75% cabernet bordo blend, with blackberry and spicy oak in the red, earthy full body wine. Las piedras means the rocks. Osso bucco veal is a bit light so the bold wine goes well and gives the wine more credibility. Braised sauce is flavorful and the garlic green sauce is a light compliment. Too much and thick potatoes. $75 3. Wine is a little smoother than than the previous. Same fruitiness and oak. The special steakhouse 55 rub I'd very good, a little too good enough the mast the ribeye. The Cabernet is definitely a lot smoother than the previous wine. The previous wine is gross with drunk with the steak. The risotto has a nice crust to compliment the strong flavora of the steak. $75 4. Merlot is like a cherry coke. Cherry and strawberry with herbal and soft tannens. Kind of gentle. Favored by cold vinages. 17% Cabernet. The goat cheese cheese cake isn't too great I don't like goat cheese and it is a flavorful version of cheesecake goat cheese version. If you like goat cheese you'll like it. The chocolate pate is very smooth and lovely. And feels like you're drinking chocolate. The merlot is a great balance. Neither overpower each other. $45 Here's the chef of Steakhouse 55 and I. He's pretty good and nice. The last picture is of my brother and I. After 8 glasses, I'm a bit red. Thanks Brother! xanga.com/swoosh225/6520… -- for x-linked post with pictures

Ah yes, the much coveted 5 star rating. As elusive as the crack bugs your cousin, Carl, the crystal meth addict is scratching at. Note the scabby sores on his forehead and residence listed in Riverside. Yet, here I am, handing out a 5 star rating to a steakhouse with a glaring 3.5 star average given by other yelp reviewers. We had reservations for 1930 hours (that's 730pm in military time for you civilians). We were early so we bellied up to the bar. I had enough time to suck down 2 tall Kettle Tonics. The girl had a couple of Mojitos. I'm starting to feel better=) Time to crip in. Before we are seated, I throw my set up in the air to let the patrons know what's up. Loud conversations became whispers and snot nosed kids were ushered into the dumpsters out back. We are seated next to a very classy couple . Joe and Marilyn were their names. A nice well-to-do couple. The were nice enough to pose for a picture yelp.com/biz_photos/lPjV… . We got started with their sourdough loaf and butter. I ate half of that bad boy no problem. Don't sweat mah technique yo. The sides we ordered were the green beans with bacon and potatoes au gratin. The green beans made eating bacon seem healthy. The au gratin taters were mad tasty too. The show stopper though.... The bone-in ribeye with 55 steak rub. I would come for Armageddon armed only with a head of lettuce and strike down the antichrist for one more mere morsel of this hunk of well marbled bovine flesh. I would set one foot on top of my fallen foe and bask in the ribeye's mouth-watering glory and in victory as well. Protec' yo' neck, Beast. I'm a bad bad bad man. If you have high cholesterol. Or if you are a Birkenstock wearing vegetarian, don't look at this. yelp.com/biz_photos/lPjV… I'm not one to ask for discounts. But when you know you're bill is going to cost you over a Benji, plus 4 drinks we had at the lounge outside, I'm taking advantage of the 15% annual pass discount. Belee dat. Don't worry, I tipped the amount before the discount. I'm not a savage. Also, forget the fact that it's in the Disneyland hotel. No churros here.

Steakhouse 55 is located in the Disneyland Hotel. The atmosphere is more adult and upscale with a shout-out to the olden days. Most importantly, the service and food here were both excellent. The bread came out nice and hot, which is always a good sign. Both our filets were cooked perfectly. I ordered the chef's special mac and cheese as my side, and my bf ordered the chef's potato stack au gratin. I'm obsessed with M&C, but I actually like the potato stack better. I love gourmet M&C, but this one was extra rich - one bite and you get the picture. One of the cheeses in there just threw me off... but I can't figure out which one. We were stuffed by the end of the meal, but we shared the vanilla bean creme brulee --- and it was so worth it. Best creme brulee I've ever had and the garnishes they add to the dish were delicious and fun to eat. Also, they gave a great wine list. Definitely a nice way to class things up or enhance a romantic meal. Definitely will come here again... once I can afford it.
(4)Jack M.
Very upscale, but not as expensive as Club 33. But nontheless, extraordinary. The appetizers here are the best, sorry RingSide! The Dungeness Crab Cakes were perfect and topped with a nice saffron sauce. Delicious. The filet mignon was great! Juicy, perfect at medium rare, and it went perfect with sauteed mushrooms. The atmosphere is very cozy and has a comfortable feel to it. It's also real intimate and luxurious, which makes this place get 5 stars. Servers here are well-trained and top-notch. They always are kind and give great advice on what to order. And they have a large knowledge of wine pairing. I could go on and on, but the reviews below mine are the same thing--Come to Steakhouse 55!
(5)Ellie F.
Disney usually impresses me like crazy with food and restaurant experiences. Sadly, not this time. Service was slow (and not as formal as the setting, which was a little odd). The kicker though - was that our server / sommelier (still not totally sure I believe that) could not point us to a bottle of wine. We wanted something with some spice or pepper to it, and she could not recommend anything remotely near our price range (~$60 for the bottle). She brought some stuff for us to try that was open, and over $100 a bottle. So who cares if we like it? We aren't buying it. Everything else she brought us was fruity, and she couldn't recommend something that they didn't sell by the glass. I can think of a few spicy zins I can get at Safeway for $10, so I'm sorry if I don't believe you that there just aren't spicy wines at our price point. Grrrrrrrr. Sorry - I'm a bit of a wine snob, and was really upset by the experience. THAT SAID - if you aren't drinking wine, or just want some slightly fancy American-style dinner for the kids. This place is probably just what you want!

I wanted to love this place. Looking at the ad for this place on the was up to our hotel room made me drool. However, I felt this place was just ok. We weren't really impressed :( The atmosphere is ok. It was dimly lit during dinner. The service was good. Our waiter was nice and friendly. I love Disney for the fact that most of their employees have good customer service skills. The one minor annoyance was that a server kept trying to sweep all the crumbs off the table to the point we would have to stop eating so he could get to them. I was eating with 3 kids so crumbs were here and there with the bread. Please find an opening maybe between the clearing of plates or courses to clean the table. As for the food... I'm not quite sure what it is with me and steaks lately but I just can't seem to enjoy them as much as I used to in restaurants. Maybe I should have ordered something other than the Prix-Fixe Menu. My 12 year old, who loves to eat various foods, was not impressed with the prime rib and my mom felt that the fish she ordered was on the dry side. Dessert was good though. :D Sadly, I don't know that we will be back to Steakhouse 55... Maybe we should have tried this place for breakfast instead...
(3)Shari P.
Delicious, delicious, delicious! I had the best steak ever at this restaurant, and the wine collection is nice. I liked the prix fix menu, which had bread, salad, steak entree ( steak with vegetables), and dessert for $40. The creme brulee, was so light and crispy on the top, it felt like it was a thin cookie, lol. This place is expensive, and reservations fill up quick, so plan your visit. The only negative is they chill all of their wine, and I overheard one unhappy customers who were served a chilled red wine. I was ok with my red wine being chilled because it was a sparkling wine. That's a preference thing.
(5)Taylor N.
I went here for my birthday dinner and it was good. I ordered a NY steak, rare, but got medium rare, which was slightly disappointing, but the flavor and quality of the steak made up for it. The sides I got, broccoli and spinach, were alright, but not anything special. I got a chocolate dessert for my birthday and it was delicious, so rich and smooth, best chocolate I have ever eaten. The atmosphere was nice and would be date worthy if it wasn't Disney. What I mean by that is, tourists with little kids running around, and people dressed like they just left the park. Overall a good restaurant and would come here again.

Steakhouse 55 is definitely one of the more upscale restaurants on Disneyland property. It's secluded from the hustle and bustle of pedestrian traffic and perhaps a little hard to find, as it's located in a small corner of one of the older hotels. The ambiance is cozy and lavish. The dining area is relatively intimate compared to other restaurants at Downtown Disney, so it doesn't necessarily cater to the masses. No one's complaining. The service has been impeccable on every visit. From the way they serve the wine, to the way they take your order, to the way they say "Pardon my reach" when cleaning your table, it's clear that the staff is very well trained and enjoy what they do. Ironically, although this is a steakhouse, I can't comment on the steak because I usually order the salmon or lamb (which is quite good, by the way). But if you're going to dine here, you really should order the steak...so they say. And be sure to order a nice bottle/glass of wine to compliment your dining experience.
(5)Bambi C.
Been here for breakfast and dinner several times and it has been good on all occasions. Nice escape from the hustle and bustle of the theme park. The Ribeye Steak is excellent and the desserts are to die for. Love the Creme Brulee.
(4)Dianne G.
Located at the Disneyland Hotel - we ate here for breakfast. We had intended to go to Goofy's Kitchen but didn't make a reservation in advance, so we couldn't get seated. We were directed to this place and I thought it was rather nice. It's definitely a fancy pants place though fancy pants are not necessary for breakfast, I believe. Our server was great and really cool - even nice enough to warn us about a big party arriving so he tipped us into ordering quickly before the kitchen gets too busy. I had the French Toast with bacon and eggs. Very good! My friend let me have a taste of her steak and it was delicious.
(5)Kevin G.
Steakhouse 55 is like a time portal. It's seriously sweet. If you watch Mad Men and think "I wish it was still like that", stop by and get a proper Old Fashioned and a juicy steak. No annoyingly loud music or tvs here. Just old school, intimate dining. If I were you I would get a wedge salad, I'm a sucker for these, a bone-in ribeye, sweet and tender, the chefs au gratin potato and asparagus spears with hollandaise. Add in your company of choice and drink of choice and I guarantee you'll have a fabulous night.
(4)Kristopher C.
Came here to celebrate my lady's birthday. Theres hotel parking and theres the DIsney Walk parking which makes for a nice little evening stroll. The hotel the restaurant is located seems as if from a bygone era and long over due for a renovation. The dining room is fairly small with a comparative bar and lounge w small tv. We were seated promptly at the time of our reservation.. i was patiently waiting for someone to offer us a drink but nothing, nobody.. after looking through the menu for about 10-15 minutes still with nobody to greet us, offer us drinks or let alone acknowledge our presence, i spoke up to the server helping the table next to us and he just as defensively blurted out that he would find someone. a very uninterested server came out and slowly took our orders. we finally ordered. great. we were starving, it was a very special night and we couldnt wait to dig in. medium ny strip, rare ribeye, lobster, oscar style crabcakes, calamari, asparagus w hollandaise, and G potatoes.. calamari is hard to mess up. fresh and light, very tasty w lemon. ny strip was too well done, absolutely nothing special here, could have been made at home. ribeye was a little more well than id liked, 55 rub was again nothing special, very plain tasting. gf said lobster was best shed had in awhile. the tiniest crab cakes ive ever eaten, mostly breading too, a little on the over cooked side. asparagus was peeled and every tender, hollandaise was a little salty and overpowering. potatoes are potatoes. for the prices they charge and the ambiance they display the service and food and total experiencecould have been exponentially better.. very disappoint.

This place has become one of my go to places. I took my husband here for his birthday and he is one picky fellow when it comes to steakhouses or prime rib houses in general so his judge of how good a steakhouse is or prime rib house is, is whether or not they can cook a prime rib or steakhouse exactly how he wants it which is medium to medium well. Every other steakhouse or prime rib house always gets it wrong according to him and this is the 2nd place he has been to where they actually got it right. And then DESSERT...their 24 layer chocolate cake was so good. I am not a big fan of cakes being super sweet and this fit the bill right away. Not to sweet but super moist and super decadent. The atmosphere is fitting for a family or just for 2. We look forward to coming here again on our next trip. The service was wonderful. Our waiter was extremely helpful and always checking up on us to see if we were okay. Reservations are definitely recommended.
(5)Rachel F.
Angus burger was good, service was lax & unfriendly. I guess lunch isn't their strong suit.
(2)Lisa V.
I had a reservation for another dining establishment in the park but couldn't make it. So my party walked in to Steakhouse 55 to see if they would take us. We were seated immediately and our server was Whitney. I was unsure about two types of wine and Whitney offered tastings of both. They were generous portions. For dinner I had the prime rib and the potato scallop dish. My husband had the rib-eye and both were incredible meals. We had to of course try the famous chocolate cake and everyone had to have a taste. If you love chocolate it's a must! Overall the dining experience was excellent as well as the service. We will all be back the next time we visit the mouse.
(5)Lawrence L.
I found Steakhouse 55 to be quite a delight. From service, to food presentation, stunning courses and plate clearing desserts created a "magical," impeccable dinner. A simple and charming steakhouse that caters to the casually dressed and allows a person to indulge their carnivorous palate to the tune of various classic cuts of meat cooked to perfection. My friend and I were in the mood to treat ourselves after a week of stress-filled reality. We decided to splurge on a hidden gem known as the Steakhouse 55 located in the Disneyland hotel. Although we didn't have any reservations, we were promptly escorted to our seats by a charming older woman after about a 10 minute wait. Our dinner began with a couple glasses of merlot, cold smoked ahi with cucumber relish and wasabi vinaigrette, and the dungeness crab cake with saffron sauce. Each starter was superb. The crab cakes were fresh, moist and flaky and perfectly accented by the saffron sauce. The cucumber relish left a mini-explosion of flavors to be enjoyed, a wonderful contrast to the delicious smoked ahi. Next came the main course. I ordered the porterhouse: 20 oz of pure medium rare succulence and combined with a peppercorn demi-glace created a "magical memory" worthy of the disney name. My friend opted for a medium-rare rib-eye marinated with 55's signature spice rub. Both entree's deserve an award by their own rights but I feel the peppercorn demi-glace took the race by a nose. For side dishes we opted for the asparagus with hollandaise sauce and the Potatoes au Gratin. Both exceptional side dishes. We definately were going for the full nine yards with dinner. I opted for the classic vanilla bean creme brulee; in hindsight that dessert would have easily satisfied two people and I feel was the most value for cost. My friend chose the vanilla bean yogurt cheesecake with seasonal berries. I was unsure of what wine to pair with the dessert and my friend recommended the Magicale Brachetto. In a show of excellent customer service, the waiter brought us a small sample of the 3 most commonly paired wines with dessert: vin du glacier riesling (a bit too sweet to be paired with the creme brulee), the waiter's personal suggestion Cockburn ( a port that tasted of caramel, but still too heavy for my tastes) and the Magicale; Disney's own special creation. In the end the magicale was the winner with its robust fruitiness. I could drink bottles of that wine because it was so delicious. I know what I'll be stocking up the pantry in the future. From start to finish I must say that that was one of the best services I have ever had. Our food was exquisite, our service was outstanding. Shame some of the other reviewers had less than stellar experiences. I for one will continue to come back whenever I feel the necessity to splurge once again.
(5)Pete G.
Had breakfast at this place. I don't mind spending money on good food. This place has good food an service. I'm still staying away from the prime rib. I went to 5 stars because of the outstanding morning meal.
(5)Don B.
The absolute BEST place to get breakfast at the Disneyland Resort. And one of the CHEAPEST places, too. You wouldn't expect it to be so cheap given the $$$ rating, but the $$$ rating is for dinner, the breakfast is a completely different story. Everything is around $12 except for the Steak and Eggs. But even tho the prices are so cheap, the quality of the food is still top notch. I had the Eggs Benedict, and my wife had the Two Times Four. Both were incredible! We went again on Monday morning. I got the Steak and Eggs, and she got the Sunrise Burrito. Once again, awesome!! I've heard the Omelettes were really good, too, so I'll try that next time. My two favorite items were the Two Times Four and Sunrise Burrito. We also enjoyed their coffee. I had a regular coffee, and she had a mocha. Another plus is that it's never crowded. Everybody likes to go to Goofy's Kitchen next door for breakfast. Most people don't even notice Steakhouse 55. We went on Saturday morning on Labor Day weekend w/ the Half Marathon Expo going on next door. This had to be one of the busiest mornings of the year. Our wait for Steakhouse 55 was less than 15 minutes. The service was also great! Our server was extremely nice, attentive, and made overall experience that much better. The only things I was disappointed with was the cost of the Mimosas. $12.50 for a glass. I'd expect free refills for that price.
(4)Lisa A.
I forgot to write a review for this place! Mom and Dad were in town and we hit up this place for dinner a few weeks back. Mmmm it was delicious! Started with the spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. HOLY CRAP Mickey Mouse! Warm bacon dressing? Does life get any better than that? I think not. The spinach was crispy against the warm bacon. Heaven. Mom had the Caesar salad (excellent!) and Dad had the onion soup (looked delicious!). We all got steaks (who wouldn't?) and they were great! My prime rib was tender and flavorful. I wasn't too keen on the baby potatoes on the side, but the green beans were great. Mom had the NY Strip and ate about half of it, it was that big! That was delicious too! Dad's filet mignon was tender and perfectly cooked. We shared the green beans, pototoes, creamed spinanch, broccoli and mashed potatoes. All were great, except the potatoes. Check this place out!! :)
(5)Katie H.
If you are looking for a non Disney restaurant when you are trapped at Disney- this is it. That being said- I would never go out of my way to eat here. Food was adequate, ambiance was nice but it still was a Disney restaurant just with a bit better quality food and a much more expensive price tag.
(3)Ashley P.
Went here a few weeks ago unplanned. The service was wonderful and the food was incredible. Had a wonderful red here as well. If you order the ceaser salad it big so make sure you're super hungry if you do. I ordered the filet and the baked potato. There were three of us and for dessert we ordered the chocolate cake. The cake was so massive we were all able to share it and still have some left over. My steak was very tender and juicy. Happy I got to eat here and hope to do so again in the very near future!FYI make reservations way in advance place fills up quickly.
(5)Julia G.
My husband really wanted to take me here while we were in town for NYE. He went years ago and loved it, and wanted to see if it was just as good. We didn't try to make reservations for NYE, but he got one for the next night. Our reservation was for 9, but we showed up at 8:30 and got seated ten minutes later. It's a very classy space, with dim lighting and relaxing music playing softly. Even with the nice atmosphere, it's Disneyland, so I didn't feel out of place wearing my jeans and running shoes. I went with their New Year's prix fixe menu. It included a salad with apples, vinaigrette and baked brie, lobster tail and filet, butternut squash risotto, and root beer baked alaska. The husband went with the calamari, chicken, green beans with bacon, and potatoes au gratin. The portions are pretty good for a nice restaurant. Everything was delicious. The husband loved his food and was sad he couldn't finish it all. The lobster was fresh, sweet, and didn't need the butter or lemon that came with it. The filet was a perfect medium, with a smoky char on the outside. The baked alaska was crazy; it consisted of a root beer float shooter, two pieces of shortbread, and a little baked alaska with root beer ice cream. So good. I'm leaving a star off because the service, while friendly and attentive, was a little slow at the start. Otherwise, it was awesome, and we'll go back when we can afford to splurge. (The annual pass discount definitely helps.)
(4)Jeff R.
Amazing steaks. Classy atmosphere. If you're thinking of eating at Carthay Circle Restaurant, consider Steakhouse 55 instead. The food is better and the atmosphere is almost identical.
(5)Cheralyn H.
If you want Prime Rib, I'm guessing you have to get there early. My reservation was at 8:20 on a Monday and there was none left. Went with a filet instead and it was cooked to perfection. 7 onion soup tastes like it's made from beef drippings - it's excellent but it's just onion soup, not "French". Rather than eat it with a spoon I dunked the hot sourdough into it. Wedge salad was pretty basic, but nothing special. Mac & Cheese seemed to be missing something. Next time I'll order a different side dish, maybe the au gratin potatoes. Free chocolate mousse desserts for our birthday was a nice touch.
(4)Lowell G.
While spending some time at Disneyland, my wife and I joined her sister and husband at Steakhouse 55 for dinner. the service was outstanding, great choice of wine, and the steaks lived up to the expectations that we had. The Steakhouse 55 rub that they use is extremely tasty. My wife's filet mignon was cooked to perfection and the taste was spot on. All in all, it is well worth the price.
(5)Salina M.
This place is great! It's decorated with legends such as Walt Disney (dressed sharply) and Marilyn Monroe. My daughter and I went for breakfast on the day we were leaving to go home. I ordered the meal (2 by 2 or 2 by 4). It included eggs cooked to your request, 2 sausage links, 2 bacon slices, potatoes, and your choice of 2 slices of French toast or 2 pancakes. All for $12.00. We also ordered hot chocolate. Delicious! I would definitely go back. Great service and nice atmosphere.

Walt Disney wanted a magical place for families to come together & be happy...so it only makes sense their restaurants are that magical too! This is located inside the Disneyland Hotel...and it is gorgeous inside. When you enter the restaurant, which is not far from the entrance, it smells like the restaurants on a cruise ship (not a bad thing in my book). It just has that feel to it. What I liked is that you didn't have to get dressed up but it still had that air about it. Our waiter was from Transylvania, a place you don't encounter people from every day, or at least I don't, so that was very cool. Nick was very friendly and made our stay comfortable. I went with the pre-fix menu for $40 so that I could indulge in some wine. Two others in my party went with that. The steak was to die for!! Wow. No words. The mashed potatoes were out of this world too. My sister had the salmon and creamed spinach, which I tried and loved. My brother had the filet mignon and he also really enjoyed it, though I didn't try any of this. He's a tall kid and since it wasn't the biggest piece, I knew he'd want it all. But despite the size, I was STUFFED by the end of the night! Can't wait to get back to Disneyland to have another meal here. Yes, it's on the $$ side but it's not like Peter Lugers where you pay $100 a steak. When you're on vacation, you got to splurge a little...and this is the place to do it!
(5)Daniel N B.
Finally got to eat something off of the show "Best Thing I Ever Ate!" "The 24 Layer Cake" My Rib Eye steak was cooked PERFECTLY! With sides of sautéd mushrooms and spinach. I was at bliss and awe. Even kept the bone to chew on later. (Haha) I'm not going into great detail, because you NEED to try it for yourself. Excellent wine selection! Great ports. Nice ambience. And you know what to order for desert already! Do not hesitate! Spend the day with your lady at Disneyland. Get a room at the Disneyland Hotel. And dine at Steakhouse 55. You won't regret it. I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE DISNEYLAND!

Steakhouse 55 was a bit surprising, it's located in the DIsneyland Hotel. The atmosphere was very well elegant, right when you walk in it's dark, and quiet. We got seated and our waiter gave us our menus and it's just one sided. There wasn't a lot of choices to chose but i did enjoy their Prime Rib, Mash potatos, and Cesar salad! The prime rib was cooked medium rare, it was so juicy and perfect. I loved it! The cesar salad dressing was reallllly diffferent compared to many that i have ate but i did really like the new taste. The portions are pretty big as well. What i didn't like was the Mac n Cheese, it didn't taste anything cheesy. The noodle was very small, something my boyfriend didn't like either. The sauteed mushroom were tooo salty. I usually love mushrooms with steak but how they sauteed it made me not even finish 1/4 of the dish :X over all, i would go back here if i was in town but i would chose other side dishes than mac n cheese and the mushrooms lol.

i was very impressed with the quality of food and the excellent customer service from the staff. Came here with the family for my wedding night. had the fillet mignon which was excellent. garlic potatoes are yummy & the pork & ahi were delicious also. loved our waiter, wish i remembered his name. this is a great place to go for a celebration, romantic evening or just a nice meal with the family. kids wouldnt appreciate it and for the price i wouldnt recommend bringing them. will definately eat here again! ps. creme brulee was wonderful also!

Amazingly delicious gem in the Disney resort. The presentation on the Chilled Smoked Ahi - With cucumber relish and wasabi vinaigrettes was magical as is the flavor. It is served in a smoked filled clear glass dome lid. Remove the lid, smell the smoke, and watch the smoke disappear. Very bold flavor on the "Steakhouse 55" Seven Onion Soup - with Parmesan Crisp also with an excellent presentation. I had the Bone-In Rib eye with our Signature "Steakhouse 55" rub - 18 oz that was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Do not order the optional sauce or butter. It was perfection as it was. The other diner had Double Cut Pork Chop - 14 oz., and I was lucky to have a taste of that. Pork Chops that thick can get very dry and this was not. Perfectly moist and tender. Sides we had Chef's Potato Stack Au Gratin and Macaroni and Cheese - with 4 cheeses and bacon, both of which were beyond excellent. the Macaroni and Cheese also had a smoked flavor to it. We wanted the 21 layer chocolate cake but ran out of room so we went for the crème brule instead. Very creamy with a slight caramelazation on top and full of flavor. Steve our server delivered an extremely high level of guest service who apparently had been there since the Granville Steakhouse days. A note on attire. The price a décor say business casual or higher - we went with business casual and felt comfortable. Being in a resort, you will see those who just came from the park in t-shirts and shorts.

Very good food, impressive wine list, beautiful dining room with historical black & white photos of the stars from Hollywood golden age. Great servers I personally love Bernice, foods always great. Your annual pass will get you a discount on your meal here. Like all Disney owned restaurants doubles only run $1.75/2.50 more! Dark and classy atmosphere.

Steakhouse 55 is absolutely amazing! For the price, it's seriously as good as it gets! Service: The service was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!! My server was on top of things, even recommending their popular dishes for a friend who didn't know what to get. I didn't like how the server was literally putting words into my friend's mouth, but he okay'd it. Also, the server was super kind to take off a dish that didn't fit my friend's taste. You don't get that now a days in restaurants, but I figured it should because the server recommended it. But who would have thought that it would be taken off in a jiffy, and without the drama! Food: My meal consisted of: ~7 Onion Soup: Amazing French onion soup! The bussers/servers pour the soup right at your table! Without spilling a drop either!! Very impressive! The soup quality was amazing! You could definitely tell the soup was boiled quite a bit, because it wasn't salty, but it had a lot of flavor. Please don't get mixed up with flavor with salt. You have to try it to believe it! ~ Filet Mignon: Don't get me wrong. When you come to Steakhouse 55, you HAVE to get the famous Steakhouse 55 rub - which I tried (courtesy of my friend). It was, of course, really good, so try it next time. However, I'm more of a soft meat type of girl, so I of course loved the filet mignon! It was magnificent! Very soft and tender - as expected - but still very flavorful! Of course, my side - which you had to pay extra for - was very tender, young, asparagus in (I think) a hollandaise sauce. Magnificent as well! Cruncy, yet tender and succulent! It was made absolutely perfect! ~Creme Brulee: This was my all time FAVORITE dessert, and Steakhouse 55 made it so delicious!! Plus they don't give you a ridiculous, small tiny bowl, but a pretty good, worth-your-money square bowl that's pretty deep as well! They also give you these caramel/chocolate/almond crisps that go so well with the creme brulee! The caramel and chocolate crisps taste like the Sees Candy lollipops!! It was seriously really good that I ate some all by itself!! Overall: 5 stars; you get an amazing meal worth the price! Of course, it comes with exceptional service!

The hubs and I went here for our final evening in the parks for a fancy dinner. We made a reservation, but it was off season so we probably didn't need it. The place was pretty empty upon arrival. Lots of empty, white table clothed tables greeted us. Which I guess is why we were baffled we were put at a tiny table in the corner next very close to another dining couple. This made the hubs really uncomfortable. He felt like he was sitting on top of someone else so he moved his chair around to the side of the table. The panicked restaurant manager came over and told him he couldn't sit like that because he was violating fire code. Okay?? So, we were moved to another booth in the empty restaurant next to a family of five, with one screaming toddler. Color us confused. But at least there were not any other glitches with seating during the rest of the evening. The booth we sat in allowed us to gawk at every passing cart of food. Food: I had a rib eye, which was delish! Hubs got the filet, which was dry. How unfortunate. He ordered the mushrooms, which he enjoyed and then we split the signature au gratin potatoes. If I had any room left, I probably would have enjoyed the potatoes a bit more. Definitely save room for dessert. The baked Alaska, with a shot of root beer, was the perfect portion for a light dessert treat. We split it though.

Came for here breakfast and it's a nice looking restaurant. No dress code (that was nice) only disadvantage was that it was kind of far from the rest of the resort unless you are staying at the Disneyland Hotel. It wasn't too bad a walk from Grand Californian, just involved cutting through the parking lot but despite the walk it was worth it. I liked the pictures they have around the restaurant of celebrities of olden times (event Walt makes an appearance). As with many Disney restaurants this one is on top of food allergies. Breakfast can be very hard for me sometimes because of a couple of food allergies (see my review of Carnation Cafe at Disneyland) but they were on top of it here. The waitress knew to bring out the chef right away and he offered me several options including offering pancakes/waffles. I ended up getting the pancakes (which is really rare for me to get at a restaurant, and by the way they are the same that you would get at Goofy's Kitchen if you have gluten/dairy/eggs allergy). The other meals at the table looked delicious, as was confirmed by the other members in the party. The plates were decent sizes and if I remember correctly the prices weren't too bad considering we were in the middle of the resort. Bottom line, I'd come back and especially want to try dinner.
(4)Michael B.
Very nice atmosphere, yet family's are welcome. We've gone dressed-to-the-nines and very casual and felt comfortable both times. The food is AMAZING, the menu was different this visit but just as delicious! It's quickly becoming our go-to restaurant for special occasions/celebrations.
(5)Amy N.
So my buddy and I have been wanting to check this place out for a few weeks now. We finally made it this evening after our day at Disneyland. The staff was so great and really cater to the customer! This place has such a great atmosphere. The walls are lined with photos of celebrities form the 50s at all the Hollywood hot spots of the era. Food wise, I'd have to say that I've never had a better steak. I had the NY Strip topped with blue cheese and my buddy had the Rib Eye with the Steakhouse 55 rub. Steakhouse 55 gets my vote! A+
(5)Jim E.
Showed up without a reservation on a Friday night about 8pm and we were told it would be 45 minutes to an hour wait, it was actually more like 15 minutes. Tom our waiter came over and took our order, wife's bowl of French Onion soup came out quickly, after that it seemed like forever but it was really only about 45 minutes before our Prime Ribs and Stacked au gratin potatoes arrived, Tom kept checking in with us and apologizing for the wait. When they finally arrived the prime ribs were cooked perfectly but the potatoes seemed to have a little less cheese than they normally do but they were still good. Overall the food was good but the wait for it to arrive was much longer than usual. The portions are large, so large that we were unable to order a desert. And we were so looking forward to the crème Brule, oh well maybe next time. It's a very nice place in the Disneyland Hotel and usually not nearly as crowded as the in park restaurants and is a very nice place to relax after a tiring day at the parks.

The food and our server Steve were great, but the treatment we received from the "Guest Services Manager" was crap. Word of advice, don't use a debit card here as they will likely eff up the charge transaction and end up freezing your account. Apparently, debit card transactions are a known issue, but Valeree, "Guest Services Manager" (jacked up spelling, I know AND her title, complete joke) knew this, but proceeded to try and charge my friend's card 3 times which resulted in a frozen checking account. Awesome. Okay, so this was bad, but people make mistakes, I could have lived with this, but OH NO Miss Valeree with her jacked up spelling decided to be a condescending, judgmental bitch. She came over to our table and insinuated that my friend didn't have sufficient funds to pay off the bill. When I went to go chat with her and sort things out (calmly and discreetly) she then insinuated that I didn't have enough to pay off the bill. She was incredibly rude, disrespectful and didn't know a lick about proper customer service. I get that mistakes happen and things aren't always perfect, but her attitude and condescending demeanor really disappointed and disgusted me. (Also, she really should learn how to treat ALL customers with respect as at one point I wanted to scream in her face "Newsflash, Miss Middle Manager Disneyland Bee-yotch, I probably made more money than you this quarter than you do in an entire year.) All in all the experience almost ruined our entire trip and my friend's bank is still working on sorting out all the weird transactions. Don't dine here unless you want to be treated like crap by some pin-headed moron who thinks she is better than you. Go drink at the Tiki Bar and let Kelly and Christian show you what a TRUE Disney dining experience should be like!
(1)Stacie B.
We had an amazing experience at Steakhouse 55. We ordered the caesar salad, onion soup, bone-in rib eye, filet oscar style and ended with the root beer desert. The food was excellent, the service was also wonderful. We would return!!!
(5)Lily E.
Was there for dinner last night to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. Originally, I had made reservations for the Napa Rose, but since we go there all the time I wanted to take him somewhere new. BIG MISTAKE! The service was CRAP! Poor waiter had like 20 tables to assist, long wait for food and when we were done eating, we asked for our leftovers to be packaged. All of a sudden, we heard plates breaking in the kitchen. My bf even joked and said, "watch that be our plates. If we see the manager come our way, you know those are our plates on the floor). A few minutes went by and sure enough, here comes the manager. She shared with us what happened and apoligized for the incident. She mentioned that due to the accident with our leftovers, she would comp our dessert. Again, loooooooong wait for dessert. Dinner was such a disaster at this place! Thank GOD for my bf who is such a nice guy and made the best out of this situation. Never again will we EVER dine at the Steakhouse 55! Napa Rose RULES!

This review is for breakfast, not dinner. We wanted a real, sit-down breakfast our last day when we were heading to the airport rather then the park. And we didn't want it to include Disney characters. Without heading into Downtown Disney, we were pretty much limited in the month of March to Steakhouse 55 next to Goofy's Kitchen in the Disney hotel. (Previous visit we had a good breakfast at Hooks near the pool, but it wasn't open this visit.) Classy decor with black-and-white photos of stars from days gone by adorning the walls: Walt Disney, Shirley Temple, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnez, etc.) Had a good eggs Benedict and kiddie pancakes. Food and service OK, but nothing special. Decent prices compared to other on-site places. $14 for the benedict and $6.99 for a single pancake and tiny bowl of fruit for the kiddie. $2.79 for the coffee that was never refilled but didn't matter cuz it wasn't very good. A quiet retreat from the Disney hyperactivity.

I guess I only write when I get upset or have really great experience. This is one of the times where I didn't get a good experience. Now, I've dine here before and didn't write a review. Previously it was for breakfast and the experience was actually very good. The food and service was excellent. This review is actually for dinner. I order the fillet Mignon which was not good. It tasted bland and not particular juicy. It was cooked right which is medium rare but it was not at all juicy. My wife got the rack of lamb. That was good. I would suggest the rack of lamb over the fillet. That fillet was very disappointing. But my biggest grip is that the service wasn't that good. Like I said on top, I've been here before and actually recently. The service that night was completely difference than the service I got for breakfast in almost every way. During breakfast, the service was prompt, friendly and attentive. Dinner was the exact opposite. Breakfast, it seem like they didn't care how long we stay but at dinner they seemed rush as they wanted to rush us out. Breakfast, they asked us the usual questions, "Did we have any questions?" etc. Dinner, nothing. Just wanted to know our order. Breakfast, they refilled our drinks, got extra napkins etc. Dinner, had to ask for refills twice before actually getting it. Breakfast, they knew who order what so served it that way. Dinner, they didn't know what people order. I did learn 2 things while dinning here. 1 - past experience does not indicate or guarantee future experience 2 - I have a new pet peeve that I wish everyone would write about. I wish people would write how long the wait is even if you have a reservation. It seems like everywhere makes you wait even if you have a reservation. Host: Do you have a reservation? Me: Yes for right now. Host: I see you reservation here. Please wait while we make sure your table is ready. Isn't that the point of a reservation? To reserve a table. Why are they making me wait. I wish people would write down how long that is because some places its too long. Actually now that I write, I have another pet peeve. When I make a reservation, what difference does it make if everyone here? Seat me. Don't make me wait. Maybe I like to have a drink and look over the menu. I made the reservation for the table.
(2)Cherie T.
can't believe I didn't write a review for this place. i was here awhile ago and i enjoyed my meal a lot. For a place in disneyland property, it is considered the better ones on my list. i got the Prix Fixe menu..for $30 it includes: caesar salad, petite steak, dessert. you have to keep in mind this isn't Mastro's, Ruth's Chris, or Morton's.. you have to remember that you're still in disney's property. i wouldnt mind coming here again to dine in when i'm at disneyland. it's quiet, less kids, and the service is great! the restaurant is located inside of Disneyland Hotel; right next to goofy's kitchen.
(4)Tabitha B.
we had breakfast and dinner here for convenience. breakfast was good, but server was to overbearing... Dinner was great, I have had better steaks, but this was up there. Cozy, atmosphere, excellent service, food great. A perfect choice for your family.
(4)Jason C.
The steak was Ok but by no means anything special. Especially for the price. I love Disneyland and always find the food to be very good. Steakhouse 55 is not the kind of place you can complain about based on the food, service or ambaince. In fact the setting inside and staff were friendly and welcoming. The au gratin potatoes were some of the best I have ever had. The issue I had was the steak itself. I had a medium rare cooked filet with their signature steak butter. I thought it would melt in my mouth, but sadly it was a disspointment. For a la carte style dining I would expect the very best and this restaurant just was not.
(3)Thanh P.
Maybe my expectation was too high having gotten used to Mastro's steaks. But my dry aged NY strip here was a disappointing experience. It got a good flavor, but was overcooked (I went with medium rare but it came out medium well) and a bit chewy. For appetizer, the smoky tuna carpaccio was very good, however only 4 slices of paper thin tuna came out. It was like a joke. Factoring in the price, I must deduct another star.
(3)Lida K.
Holy Mickey balls! This place ROCKS! First off, there's a picture of Walt Disney dressed like a fucking pimp with a cane where you walk in. Amazeballs. Step aside Club 33 and your crap uninspired menu! Step aside Napa Rose and your bullshit service and asshole French manager! The Disney resort has found their star restaurant. Yea yea yea...I know what you're thinking. It's a steakhouse so it's only going to serve steaks etc. But the steaks are amazing...like melt in your mouth amazing...like I want to lick the plate I don't care who's looking amazing. That kind of amazing. And the side dishes are soooo AMAZING. The scalloped potatoes, M&C, veggies.....rawrrrr I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. And you know I HATE Disney fanatics. But you have to appreciate the history. You get to see old man Charlie Chaplin after being kicked out for being a commie. And I love the picture of Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball...who doesn't fucking love Lucy. Amazing service. Amazing food. Amazing amazing amazing. but do expect to drop a buttload of money. hey...you're still in Disney!
(5)Emily S.
My husband took me there for my birthday dinner. When we arrive the hostess was "cold" both ladies did not have smile and just told us it will be 10 mins wait (we had a reservation). After we were seated, the waitress was friendly but kept forgetting our order or request. Then finally the food came.... It was disappointing, everything was so salty! My husband order the Prim Rib and I had the Bone In Rib Eye along with a side of green beans... I can't stop drinking my water! Also my cocktail, I ordered a Pink Cadillac it came out all wrong.... Overall, it was very disappointing.
(1)Joy G.
i love their house made sourdough loaf and churned butter that comes with the table. the service has always been kind, even when we were much, much, younger. the steaks come, classic steakhouse style, devoid of any sides. Also, the appetizers are on the small side.. i love the classic wedge salad and always make room for the creme brulee which is accompanied with their three delicious cookies.
(4)Katrina P.
Of all the restaurants I've tried at Disneyland Steakhouse 55 has to be one of my favorites! Well, second to Napa Rose... actually... I can't really compare a nice juicy slab of steak to anything else. STEAK, FOR THE WIN. Like many of the guests who visit this place, we started off with a complimentary bread/butter and water combo. It was a delicious starter! The high-class feel of the restaurant didn't stop me from taking my knife and spreading big heaping scoops of butter all over my sourdough bread. A++. Seven onion soup + tri-tip + potatoes for dinner. Vanilla bean creme brulee for dessert. K, just lost my train of thought --- visit this place and make reservations because its pretty effin good.
(5)Scott W.
Breakfast is a MUST. it's one of the hidden treasures of the resort. Most people dont know that they serve breakfast and it's great!
(5)Tiffany N.
I only had breakfast at Steakhouse 55 which may seem silly since it is a steakhouse. But, they did offer steak and eggs! But, I didn't get that. So, really we're back where we started. Our food was really good. I had a create-your-own omelet with cheese, bacon and avocado. There was a ton of bacon in bite size pieces and even more avocado so I thought it was pretty delicious. My breakfast also came with a blueberry muffin that tasted homemade. My only complaint really was about the potatoes (home fries? hash browns?) but, that's because I don't like onions and they were full of 'em. If you're staying at the Disneyland hotel and want to avoid the $30 character breakfast buffet at Goofy's Kitchen then this is a nice alternative. It feels very grown-up inside and has a pretty hushed atmosphere with competent service. And I wouldn't say it's terribly expensive compared to the places I've been to in Denver for brunch.

If I could marry a restaurant, I would pick Steakhouse 55 because he's such a sexy stud. :D Moving on, situated in the Disney Hotel, a little walk is all you need from the park til you are at heaven's gates. I would never come here for it's excellent service, I would also never come here for its fan-fucking-tastic food. Ok. I lied, I would. 2 Hit Wonder: 1) Service: the service is amazing. It's a welcoming staff and they never fail to meet your needs. Also, unlike some snooty high class restaurant owners, you can come in casual attire! I thought this was a plus because after a long day at Disneyland, I just want to eat amazing food. 2) FOOD: The steaks are, to say the least, delicious. Also, they have this great pre-fix deal for only 30 bucks! You get a starter, a entree, a side (?), and a dessert! I think it's pretty cheap for what you get. The creme brulee is drool worthy as well as the other desserts. Also, try the 3 cheese mac & cheese... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Damn, I just drooled on my keyboard ):. Anyways, everything meets your standards of what a steakhouse should be. But, the thing that will surpass everything and that will make you wonder what you've really been missing out on life is the Potatoe Au Gratin Stack. For all the potato & cheese lovers out there, this is the potato God. Thinly sliced potato cuts are stacked up with cheese cementing it. If there is one thing you must get, it is this. Thee end. Screw Disneyland, the adventure, the rollercoasters, and the excitement are all at Steakhouse 55.
(4)Manny L.
Great atmosphere and great food. Ordered a New York strip steak with a side of green beans. Until this day I consider it to be the best New York steak I have ever eaten. Cooked perfectly the way I wanted it ( medium rare). I would say the money you spend here is well worth it. You can also call ahead of time for special occasion treats.
(5)Reza M.
Hands down best food for the price at Disneyland. I've been to Napa Rose and I was not impressed and thought it was over priced. The steaks here are amazing. I get the Rib Eye with Bearnaise. The sides are amazing, I think I got the scallop potatoes and creamy spinach. You also get a nice romantic atmosphere with lots of classic pictures on the wall. There is also a bar in front of the restaurant that's great to grab a drink while you wait. Highly recommend it if you're planning to have a great meal at Disneyland.
(5)D G.
Check out the breakfast!! Yes, you read correctly. While moms and dads are stressing out with their rug rats and paying way too much for a buffet at Goofy's Kitchen, we leisurely walked into a gem of venue. Great decor and upscale like ambiance. We felt like VIP. French toast, bacon, eggs, pots, and grapes graced my plate. YUM! Hubby had lox and bagel. He said salmon was high grade. When walking out, we giggled just watching the hysteria at Goofy's kitchen. Go to Steak 55 for breakfast people. Also, we hope u bring only well-behaved kiddos who don't need an IPad at the table. Just sayin'.
(5)Chris W.
Service was impeccable. Food was good not great. Based on previous reviews here on yelp , my expectations were high. I left full, but disappointed. As steakhouses go this was just average.

Came to steakhouse 55 for valentines dinner this past weekend and I will admit i was not totally impressed since its supposed to be a high end steakhouse. We had a reservation were sat within 5-10 mins which wasnt too bad... we were sat at a table that was in the main walk way which was VERY ANNOYING considering there were plenty of other open tables available for us to have been sat; we were forced to deal with high traffic coming by the entire time. Our server was Al, who was nice and polite. But he did seem preoccupied with his other tables than us. I ordered Filet Mignon and bf had porterhouse steak with mac and cheese and mashed potatoes as sides. The mashed potatoes were COLD and way to SALTY!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so glad i ordered mac and cheese because i hated the mashed. It also took a long time to get our steaks and even a couple who got there after us got their steaks before us which makes no sense....I think this place is too hyped up for what it actually is and its totally pricy which doesnt match up to the quality of food. I most likely will NOT return, ive tasted better homemade mashed potatoes than the ones made here -.-
(2)Connie D.
Prime rib was over cooked, we asked for rare & got medium well. The string beans were undercooked. The service was great. Dessert was the multilayered chocolate cake which was over hyped!
(3)Mar C.
We went in for our anniversary dinner upon recommendations from my classmates. This place is absolutely our new favorite "special occasion, once a year" place. Every detail from the service (server was Khan-I think) to the perect food to our special personalized dessert was top notch. Crab cake app was great, bone in ribeye w/blue cheese topping devine, sides of potatoes and asparagus with hollandaise sauce just right and dessert sinfully wonderful. I whole heartedly recommend this place, worth every shiny nickel we spent ($165 for two).
(5)Greta Y.
This review is for dinner. Haven't been here for a while, but stopped by recently on a trip down south to San Diego and we stopped at the disneyland hotel as a treat for the kids. This is a great steakhouse option for people traveling with kids that don't want to inconvenience other patrons at other adult-oriented steakhouses. They were very warm and welcoming of our kids, and I appreciated their asking if we wanted to get the kid's food started right away. Though I was dressed up somewhat, my parents were comfortable in their casual clothes (having just come from Knotts Berry Farm). It was a wonderful place for a nice event dinner, bearing in mind the clothes we were wearing and traveling with kids. The kids got a kick out of eating at the Disneyland hotel and I must give them props for not begging to go to the park itself (we had the conversation beforehand...yay kids!). It is expensive. For a dinner for 3 adults, 2 kids, with 2 glasses of wine, it wound up being somewhat over $200 when tax and tip is factored in. I ordered the prime rib which was perfectly cooked, but blandly seasoned--- they do it up old school without a rub or marinate, simply au jus, which I find unusual given modern trends. The prime rib was fresh, however, and they did a good job on counseling me re medium v. medium well (I like it medium but so many places undercook a good medium)....they did it just perfect here but I ordered medium well. Mom had the salmon which honestly, for the price, was a little dry. Sides of fries, asparagus and baked potato were well seasoned. Kids had the chicken and spagetti with a side of fresh fruit....they loved the chicken and fruit, found the spagetti a bit bland. The chocolate cake at the end was the highlight, and enough for all 5 of us (though the kids jealously guarded the frosting section of the cake all to themselves). Wine by the glass was pretty good....a zinfandel...they have those glow cocktails from the tron party I want to try next time. So pretty good for an experience. Not sure I would do it too often since there are better places to take kids at the resort (such as the character dining or the world of color dinner). Food though is better than at other resort restaurants (depending on whose cooking, many of the resort restaurants notoriously underperform), but you will pay for it. Overall, it's a little expensive for what you get. Was not crowded on a Friday summer evening and I ran a half hour late because of traffic...they were still able to accommodate us. Complimentary valet parking.

Yummy!! Steakhouse 55 is inside the Disneyland Hotel, a more upscale place to eat. The atmosphere is great with pictures all over the walls. I would recommend a reservation (714-781-3463) in advance if you are planning on eating here, as there is not a whole lot of seating. We got the crab cakes (wonderful option) as a starter and did the prix-fixe menu with a Caesar Salad to start with. The main entree was a flat iron steak with green beans and potatoes, which was very tasty! I would have this again!!! The dessert had apples and ice cream with sauces decorated on the plate. The dessert was probably my least favorite. A good value and nice proportions for the prix-fixe option.

Great breakfast we couldn't get into Goofy's kitchen...so we popped in here and had a wonderful time. Prices were fairly reasonable for the area too, your at Disney and no need to drive off the park. Staff was great.

DH and I like to go to Steakhouse 55 to satisfy our craving for steak and just a week ago, we have also tried their breakfast menu. It is true that this place is pricey but that is how typical steak houses are in the area. With our 15% annual pass discount, it is a pretty good deal at this place (think of it as a free desert or glass of wine!). Dinner (4 1/2 stars) We always order the same thing every time we eat here. The Wedge salad (iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, gorgonzola), 7oz Filet Mignon for me and 14oz NY Steak for DH, both cooked medium with sides of Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Madeira and Yukon Gold Smashed Potatoes (or the Chef's Au Gratin). I love Chianti so I get that with my steak and DH gets either a Pinot or Merlot. They have a warm crusty bread roll with butter which we devour while waiting for our meal. The salad is good for two so we always request to have it split into 2 plates (no split charge!). The steak is always cooked to perfection, juicy, moist and very flavorful. Yummm... ! For dessert, even though we are already bursting at the seems, we never leave without having their Creme Brulee. They use real vanilla beans making this dessert ultra rich and creamy. A perfect ending to a wonderful meal! Breakfast (3 stars) We had a reservation for 2 at 10am on a Saturday morning. There was only 1 other table with guests so we have the place all to ourselves. Compared to dinner, the place is brightly lit during the day time. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with 2 poached eggs, corn tortillas, salsa, beans, guacamole, sour cream and cheese. They served it with a cute sun shaped fried tortilla which made the dish very appealing. DH ordered the Steak and Eggs with a side of fresh fruit. I loved my huevos and how I can have the eggs poached rather than fried. There was just too much cheese on top of it so I had to scrape off most of it. DH said his steak was just ok and was not the same quality as the steak that they serve during dinner. The eggs were very light and fluffy, the fruit was not sweet. Overall, we were glad to try it for breakfast but would definitely still come back for their steak dinner.

Steakhouse 55 is my place for special occasions or just a place to get away from the Disneyland crowd. I've eaten here for my past 2 birthdays and I would like to keep the tradition going. The cesar salad is great and it has diced anchovies on top of the tapenade crouton. Their french onion soup doesn't have melted cheese so I don't order it. The popcorn shrimp is good as an appetizer and I've also eaten it as my main dish. I'm not much of a steak person so I always order the lobster tail and it is so delicious. My boyfriend usually gives me a taste of his steak and it is so tender and juicy and that satisfies my need for steak. The service is great and I can't wait to go back.

I was just at this restaurant this past weekend after a long day at Disneyland. I really enjoyed the food. My favorite part was the apple tart! It's pricey, but for an upscale restaurant at Disneyland, its not so bad. I really appreciated the great service. The restaurant itself is very small and intimate, but it definitely has a cool vibe with all the old Hollywood pictures that line the walls. I would definitely return!

We went here last weekend during our three day vacation for my daughter's 7th birthday. I really enjoyed our server David who was very nice, however, there were a couple of issues. There was some sort of medical convention going on and there were some completely drunk doctors in the lounge. Having worked in a restaurant that had a bar before we generally tried to not serve extra alcohol to patrons that were conspicuously drunk. Being a higher end restaurant and lounge and given its location I would have assumed it would have somewhat higher standards of etiquette for their patrons. It was somewhat embarrassing to withstand their rather aggressive advances while waiting with my 64 year old mother for the rest of our party to arrive. Furthermore later in the evening while my daughter was taking pictures with my father in law she backed up and was ran over by a server with a dessert cart. The server muttered something brief (it may have been "excuse me") and continued forward. While I recognize it wasn't necessarily the servers fault (although she could have announced herself as being behind them) she could have stopped a moment to assess the damage. My daughter was cut and bruised on her leg and ended up crying. I imagine probably not the best birthday dinner she had.

Nice to escape the Mickey toons et al right in the Disneyland Hotel but definitely over priced for the fare we received. Maybe my expectations were too high. We're foodies, so love a good meal. Underwhelmed with preparation...everything so simple without creative/yummy sauces to choose from. Also, everything a la carte so you're tallying up a major bill with a starter, entre, side, drink, and maybe, a dessert. At about $40ish for a steak, how about a brocoli spear or two on my plate? Good things to chat about? Warm sour dough to start, filet mignon yummy, service and atmosphere nice (quiet!). Reasons not to return? Underwhelmed on the onion soup (6 spoonful wonder...no really...serving so small, it took about 6 spoonfuls to finish); service, while nice, lacked attention (never received a refill on kids' sodas or offer for another cocktail until the end); over-priced; no sauces for entres offered (very plain/boring presentation); sides only okay (had sauteed mushrooms and mashed potatoes to share). On balance, disappointed. We could have done better in the Disney Market area.

The first place I've eaten at that is Disney-related that was actually WORTH the money and not ridiculously overpriced! Loved this place...the steak was really juicy and tender, and the service impeccable. Thank you Steakhouse 55 for a lovely evening! We felt like bums all tired out after a day at the park, but felt very welcome and got to rest up (and eat up) during our time here. Highly recommended to check out at least once!

Excellent service, low lighting, great steaks and cool ambiance. A fantastic place to get away from the crowds of the parks and unwind with a cocktail. Celebrated a birthday so they brought out a small cake with candle. Top notch Disney! Kudos.

We just ate here last night and we were really impressed. After reading other glowing reviews we were not surprised by the incredible service but it was a wonderful treat to experience nonetheless. My wife and I visited Disneyland for our tenth wedding anniversary and we wanted somewhere nice to celebrate. Steakhouse 55 stood out as a good choice and we made reservations over the phone with Disney's dining reservation service. During the conversation they asked if we were celebrating anything special (birthday, anniversary, etc.) and we informed them of our occasion. When the night of our reservation arrived we found ourselves in Downtown Disney about two hours early so we took the Monorail over to Disneyland and bought some souvenirs while we waited. Still, we arrived at the host desk about twenty minutes prior to our reservation time but we were informed it wasn't a problem and were seated after about five minutes waiting in the bar/lobby. The dining area is well appointed with dark woods, gray and purple fabrics, and over-sized photographs of Golden-Age-of-Hollywood stars (a young Walt Disney can even be found in more than a few). The ambiance is calm but inviting and the waiting staff are knowledgeable and professional. Our waiter in particular, Steven, was incredibly accommodating. He helped my wife with her meat selection and went out of his way to find an answer to a trivial question we had about shopping even though it had nothing to do with his service to us. Fantastic. We started the meal with a bottle of Pellegrino and an appetizer of crab cakes. The crab cakes were small but very tasty, especially with the accompanying saffron sauce. For the main course I ordered the Bone-In Rib Eye, Medium-Rare and my wife ordered the Prime Rib, Medium. We opted for sides of a baked potato and sauteed mushrooms. My steak was very, very good; as good or better than any I have had at any steakhouse. The marbleized fat of the Rib Eye was just at the point of melting through the meat and the steak itself was cooked to perfection. I also sampled my wife's Prime Rib and, although a little more cooked than I prefer, just as good as any I have had elsewhere. The only fault I could find anywhere with the meal was with the sides. My baked potato seemed a little undercooked to me; still a little crisp on the inside. The outer third of the potato was fine but the center was firm and not hot enough to melt the butter. All in all a small setback to an otherwise stellar meal. At the end of the meal we were treated to a complimentary desert of chocolate velvet cake with an edible "Happy Anniversary" message attached. Honestly, up to that point I wasn't sure the message was received during the reservation process but it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. I would highly, highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a nice place to dine at the DLR and we can't wait to visit again on our next trip to Anaheim.

Located in the Disneyland Hotel (which looks like a Soviet Era Apartment building), this used to be the Granville Steakhouse. It was renamed for Disneland's 50th anniversary. We ate there several months ago. The bar at the entrance looks very outdated. The restaurant itself is pleasant. I found the steak that I had was one of the best I've tasted. It had great flavor. The only other one I liked as much was surprisingly also at a Disney Resort, at Le Cellier inside EPCOT Center.

Food isn't bad considering its location. Bone-in ribeye was delicious.

My boyfriend and I go here every year for our anniversary. Our server is almost always Bernice, she's really sweet, but last time we saw her she was pregnant, so I don't know if she'll be back. The place is dim, comfy (hope to death that you get a booth) and the bread that comes on a wood board with a big knife is a great start. The salads are great (I get the wedge) and the steaks are very good. The sides are usually great but not huge... I love their creamed corn and wish it wasn't a seasonal item. Their potato stack is good too! I'm not sounding super overzealous about this place because as of late it's seemed to become more popular and the last time we went it was overrun with kids and families coming in from the parks and our server wasn't Bernice, and he wasn't great... we waited forever to get our order taken. Because of this I don't know if we'll be back again for our anniversary, but I'll be sad about it if that tradition is broken. The food is expensive, standard higher-end steak house. If it's your bday or anniversary they give you a cute platter with ganache and write out "happy birthday", etc in a chocolate sauce on the plate. The place is very classy and nice, quiet (when kids aren't there), and it's really a usually enjoyable experience. Note that the sides are almost all seasonal, and the menu is on the small side.

Chef Jason Martin and his team put out some of the best food I've had. I love Ribeyes, and his is amazing. Great service, great ambience, great food and wine.
(5)Toby C.
my wife and i were down in disneyland to celebrate our 1 year anniversary (the parks mean a lot to us and our kids...dont judge) and we wound up going to steakhouse 55 on a recommendation. the place was nice and suited families who wanted more than a character buffet and also suited for people who were dressed up for a special occasion (us). food was excellent. we ordered both the ny strip as well as the ribeye. both had perfect crusts and went well with the two sides of creamed spinach and potatoes. additionally, they went above and beyond by giving us some really good chocolate mousse for dessert to celebrate our 1 year complete with an edible chocolate label stating "congratulations!" best part of all? the bill was NOT too shabby at all since we were able to use our annual pass discount. we got the bill and spent way more at places that were not nearly as good. just a thought for those who get tired to constantly screaming kids and disney characters who do the puckering sound all the time....you know what i mean.... i think the only downfall was the wait staff. our waiter was nice but seemed very awkward when trying to engage in conversations and sometimes kind of stood there....waiting....for.....something?
(4)Nathan H.
Move over Ruth and Morton hello Mickey Mouse Steaks! Seriously, this place is FREAKING DELICIOUS. Got the Rib eye with the house "rub"......that rub must have some of Tink's pixie dust because I just about swallowed the bone! FYI, I'm not a stupid "Disneyoid" who gets a chubby over Disney crap either....this place is LEGIT!

It was good (again). Another birthday dinner for my boyfriend. Last year they didn't do anything even when I called and said it was his birthday and that was very disappointing I think more for me since I wanted it to be special. He liked his ribeye so much he wanted to go back so I made certain they knew what happened last year and the cast member that took the reservation assured me it was noted. We arrived and were seated exactly the time of our reservation which is nice they are on time. We were pleasantly surprised to see a personalized menu wishing him happy birthday. Our wait staff was on point and everyone wished him happy birthday. We got the nightly special risotto with sweet corn, lobster and Parmesan it was so good I will be talking about it for a long time. He got the ribeye and sadly it was unevenly cooked one half was medium rare and the other half was really well done. He doesn't like to make a fuss but it should have been correct. I got the Moroccan salmon and it was a suggested choice and our waitress was right it was delicious. I was nervous because I always got the pork chop and it was the best I've ever had but unfortunately off the menu. He was treated to a decadent Mickey Mouse flourless mousse cake with candle and Happy Birthday chocolate and then we ordered the berries and sorbet and crème brûlée. Both wonderful. It would have been a perfect meal if the ribeye was better for the birthday boy but all and all a special and romantic evening.

My girlfriends birthday dinner was delicious however it was marred by terrible service by a very unattentive and most likely racist waiter. Unfortunately did not catch this older gentlemen's (and i use that term very loosely) name however he is older (mid to late 60's) man who is either bald or balding with a closely shaved head. Started off okay but noticed immediately how attentive he was to the party next to us (all caucasian table) in stark contrast to us. After dinner was served he did not once come over to ask if we needed anything, in fact he stood with his back to us while he joked and waited on the neighboring table. Tried making eye contact with him a few times, but never once looked over. About 20 minutes of waiting on him to ask for a dessert menu (by this time he had taken a dessert order as well as served the six desserts to the table next to us) and still left us waiting. I finally got up and spoke to Courtney (manager?) who i shared my experience with and she apologized profusely and went to talk to the waiter i believe ( i went to the restroom to cool off from my anger). Shortly afterwards the waiter comes out with a birthday dessert for my girlfriend and asks us if we wanted a dessert menu..no apologies or nothing. He was trying to act nice but in a condescending, fake, arrogant way. I think the dessert was part of what the restaurant does for birthday celebrants anyway, so it wasnt his way or the restaurants way of apologizing. Really frustrating and annoying to know that people like this still exist in this world and of all places in the service industry :( Restaurants need to do a better job of screening people like this. Sad. I tried not to let this ruin my gfs bday dinner, but i couldnt help it. Still gave this guy a decent tip.. i always leave 25% but not this time. He didnt deserve it, but i did not want him to think we were cheap (yah i know dumb logic). Steakhouse 55 do the right thing and discipline this employee and send him to cultural sensitivity classes at the very very least. No place for staff like this at what is suppose to be the Happiest Place On Earth. :(

My husband and I came here for a quick breakfast before I had to leave for meetings inside the Disneyland Hotel. Wanted to try dinner here, but they were booked on the day we could do it, so had to opt for breakfast instead. It's hard to rate a restaurant based on its breakfast fare, as I'm sure the dinner offerings would have been much more satisfying. However, this is an A-OK restaurant for me, and if I was a local I'd definitely come back for more. Looking through the breakfast choices, I opted for the Egg White Omelet. It came out very fluffy and tasted really good. Nice load of veggies; a very healthy portion overall. I couldn't finish it all as usual - my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. Hubby had the Steak & Eggs, and he said his steak was cooked perfectly. That's a big deal to a steak lover as you probably know. We did have a couple of café mochas, but they weren't that great. Not enough mocha, so the bitter espresso taste was too strong for me. I was able to add a couple packets of sugar to help cut down the bitter, and it was drinkable but ultimately not enjoyable. A little sad about that considering the price you pay for lattes. All in all, everything was fine. Nothing out of this world, but I wasn't expecting to be that blown away by an egg white omelet.

Hidden in the convention area, just outside of Steakhouse 55, is a small bar where you can grab a nosh with friends. Though, you may have a wait for a seat, and deal with the tourist, family environment around you. After choosing some wine, the waiter offered us the full menu from Steakhouse 55, which you can order from if you sit directly at the bar. We quickly axed the crudite platter for crab cakes, split salad and truffle mac and cheese. Note, the chef from Club 33 has moved here, so this is really a treat! We had a full set up and free, hot french bread and butter to boot. Not a bad way to spend a quick minute with a friend. "Magic", our waiter, was very attentive, as was the other staff. Don't forget to use your Disney Pass for a discount on the food!

My best friend and I wanted to come here for her birthday also it was conveniently located downstairs from our hotel (disneyland). When we walked in it automatically sends me back to 1950's in old Hollywood. The decors was truly gorgeous. Our waiter, Nick, had asked us if we've been there before (no) and afterwards he came out with a beautful presentation spoon of duck confits complimentary of the chef. I thought that was pretty awesome and special. By the way, absolutely delicate and fancy. I had ordered the Rib eye and my friend ordered the Halibut. She said her fish was absolutely delicious. My steak was up to par. I compared it close to Mastro's. The price here is better than Mastro's. We both enjoyed our risotto, it was creamy and cheesy. They also brought out a birthday mickey mousse it was wonderful. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

It was our first time coming here for OC Restaurant Week, and wasn't sure what to expect. Then again, it IS a Disney restaurant, so I already knew that customer service would be good. Just as I thought, the service was great! Our waiter was very friendly and nice. We decided to get the wine pairing option, just to get the whole feel of everything. The prawns (appetizer) and prime rib were tasty! I like my meat prepared medium rare - not all restaurants get the cooking right. Sometimes it would be too cooked for medium rare, and sometimes it looks like it just came out of a cow. This restaurant cooked it just right. Another waiter saw my struggle taking pictures and decided to offer his assistance lol. That was pretty awesome. All in all, my experience at Steakhouse 55 was great. A little bit on the pricey side, but worth it.

I went here for breakfast the other day. The food was pretty good and priced fairly. I got the pancake combo and the pancakes were nice and fluffy, the eggs were nice, and the bacon and sausage were good. Service was awesome. The ambiance was really nice. My wife really enjoyed all of the old pictures of celebrities on the wall. We will definitely come back here a lot now.
(4)Sharon E.
Heavenly Meal! Our waiter "Oscar" had the greatest personality and the biggest smile. Made our night. The busser "Arturo" was equally as wonderful. Food was heavenly. Must try the risotto, the lobster, the crab cake, the truffle Mac n cheese. All of it absolutely delicious. Can't wait until our 31st anniversary to return to this lovely place.

We came yesterday morning for breakfast. My husband ordered the eggs bene and I ordered the breakfast with pancakes eggs and meat. Super excited they had gluten free pancakes! Food came out quick and was delicious! Great coffee! Gluten free pancakes amazing. Sausage really great too. Hubby loved the eggs bene. Karen was our server and she was so great/funny/accommodating that we asked for her again this morning! Owning a breakfast restaurant ourselves, makes us a bit picky when we go out. To be able to dine in a beautiful restaurant, at our hotel, that is well priced, with great food and service was an amazing treat for us! Karen went above and beyond, even packing up some cookies for us to take back to the kids in the room. She made our dining over the top for us, and we are so thankful she was there to keep us laughing all breakfast long. Thanks for a great time! All our best, Nick and Rosemarie Ramponi

This restaurant is located inside the Disneyland Hotel. Came here on a Saturday night on a double date with friends. We had reservations and were seated upon our entire party arriving (my bf and I came a little earlier than my friends so we were seated in the bar area while we waited). Service from the very beginning and throughout the meal was fantastic. Our server was very nice and checked up on us just the right amount of times. We even got a look at their wine collection and tasted some very delicious wines. The ambiance of the restaurant was also very unique. There were photos of past iconic stars and it was nice to look around. The place was dimly lit and had a romantic feel. We were there kind of late so there were no kids or loud parties around but since it's in the Disneyland hotel, I can easily see some people bringing their loud screaming children or wearing tacky vacation clothes while being there and making the atmosphere kind of weird. Haha. The Food: I ordered the rib eye and my bf ordered the porterhouse. Both were large, tasty and cooked just like we requested - medium well. We also ordered for our sides, risotto (mine), mac and cheese (share) and mashed potatoes (his). I loved the risotto. The other sides were good too. He finished the mashed potatoes but we had risotto and mac & cheese left over. The other girl and i split a dessert (creme brulee) which was also good. Everything was delicious and met our expectations. The Cons: - Self parking was a bit inconvenient. Since it's a hotel, you don't get to park close to the restaurant. I think there may have been valet but I'm not sure. - I didn't finish all my food. I was sad to find my food - which included risotto, steak and mac and cheese was all put into one box and was mashed together. I opened it and found a mac & cheese risotto mix. That was not cool. I couldn't eat any of my leftovers except for the steak. - Price wise, obviously it's not the cheapest - it's a steakhouse in the Disneyland hotel. However, I thought that other steakhouses in the comparable price range outperforms this restaurant in terms of the food taste and quality (personally, I prefer Morton's steaks). Still, it's a good place to go if you're looking for a new steakhouse to try.

Not usually someone who has enough cash to thriw around in a place like this so I am not going to lie, I did have a coupon that was used with 7 other diners and one of those diners does work for the mouse. This being said, our service was no different than being another person or tourist in the area. It was excellent and thorough and anything I could expect from a steak house. We made reservations for 8 and even getting before that time they didn't seat us until our reservation time. My party did not seem to have a problem with the steaks they ordered nor did I hear any complaint from the service we received. I order the lamb chops and for the first time having them I thought they were cooked perfectly and now set the standard for how they should always be cooked! The sides were standard and nothing that stands out from any other steak house. All was cooked nicely. So if you want a nice steak and dining experience and don't want to travel to far if you're visiting Anaheim then stop here.

Birthday dinner! Located at the Disneyland Hotel. This place was so delicious! The filet minion ;) was deliciously cook to my liking. The crab cakes were tasty and delicious. I wanted to order more and make a sandwich out of them! Very classy inside and dark. Makes it romantic. :) hopefully you'll have great company like I did. It makes it that much more special. The little birthday treat was awesome! Very creatively made and put together. So cute. Recommend this to everyone that loves a delicious steak. Good thing i didn't order the chicken, I'm sure it's yummilicious but it's a steakhouse so makes sense to eat a steak. So full. Gained like 10lbs. So remember go with a huge appetite and savor every morsel. Best birthday dinner ever!
(4)Ivy L.
We ate here for the first time last night - loved the ambience, had a very nice server, and both of our steaks (the 18 oz bone-in rib eye, and the 20 oz porterhouse) were a PERFECT medium-rare. We were pleasantly surprised by an amuse bouche (sea scallop in some sort of watermelon puree and greens) compliments of the chef - and that the steaks were served with bone marrow on the side. For our sides, we had the crispy spinach (which was just okay for me - at least the generous portion is enough for two to share) and the gruyere potatoes (tasted good enough - but barely enough for one person). We finished our meal with the 24-layer chocolate cake (which was served with peanut brittle and pumpkin spice gelato) which was pretty damn impressive both in appearance and taste! Only thing I didn't love is that for nearly $50 a steak, you'd think they could include the seasoning - instead of charging another $4 for your choice of their special butter, red wine demi-glace, etc etc. That being said, my husband absolutely loved his porterhouse with the steakhouse 55 butter! Final note - don't forget to take advantage of your annual passholder discount --- 15% off, yay!

I get that it is Christmas. I hope the staff is being paid extra to serve other families on a holiday instead of being with their own loved ones. I also know that problems are bound to happen when you're trying to feed unpredictable crowds in a busy location. But it took almost an hour and a half for our breakfast to arrive, and when it did it was only about 75% correct. Fine. These things happen. The bill, however, arrived promptly and with 100% full charges. No comps, discounts, no apologies from the management, no free beverages while we waited or anything to account for the fact that our family spent Christmas morning in the restaurant equivalent of a broken-down ride line. This is management's failing, not the staff. I'm not naive enough to think that I can avoid Disney park restaurants due to this, but I will certainly book fewer of them and avoid this one in the future. (Food was just OK, but certainly not memorable.)

Short Summary: For Dinner (3/5): -Even with being punctual on a reservation we had to wait 15 minutes to be seated (2/5) -Outside lounge area had comfy seating and waitstaff was attentive, but shared space with the Goofy Kitchen literally two steps away (noisy) [3/5] -Tables and seating in restaurant were set close together (again, noisy) and the lighting was extremely dim [3/5] -Entrees did not come with sides. Had to pay for those extra. The steaks were cooked well enough, but didn't wow me (2/5) -Waitstaff was very attentive to clearing your table of plates and refilling your water glass (5/5) For Breakfast (4/5): -No reservation, but were seated immediately (5/5) -Brightly lit restaurant during the day made me appreciate the framed pictures of 20s movie starlets on the walls (4/5) -Food was made well and not too heavy for breakfast (4/5) -Waitstaff still very attentive to clearing plates and refilling water (5/5) Recommendation: Go for breakfast to enjoy a well decorated, intimate restaurant. For dinner, be prepared to pay lots of cash for a steak that is so-so and doesn't come with sides. However, the famous Disney service will not let you down. Long Summary: ((Dinner)) Our reservation was at 7:00 and we arrived on time. The lounge area shares the outside space with the Goofy Kitchen next door and so it was a bit noisy and open for what was supposed to be a romantic dinner. I was immediately irked that we had to wait 15 minutes to be seated, even with a reservation (my pet-peeve is professionals who aren't punctual). Once seated I noticed that we were given a corner space closely set next to a party of 6. The noisy level in general was a bit loud and I couldn't have much of a flowing conversation with my honey. The lighting was also fairly dim, much like the Indiana Jones ride indoor waiting line. The menu selection is small, but our waiter was very friendly. I asked if the entrees came with sides and he informed me that everything was basically a la carte, but did comfort me in the fact that the sides were made for at least 2 people to share. He recommended the mushroom risotto which the chef had just recently altered for the seasonal menu. We decided on a medium Prime Rib for him, a medium rare Filet Mignon for me and risotto and creamed spinach to share. The portions for the sides are built to share and we definitely took home leftovers. The risotto was great, but the creamed spinach wasn't as "creamed" as I expected (more like sauteed spinach with cream drizzle). His Prime Rib was a good size and well cooked. My Filet was also well cooked. But the plate presentation was missing the wow factor of accompaniments and sauces and honestly I've had better, juicier steak elsewhere for half the price. ((Breakfast)) The next morning we decided to give the restaurant another shot for breakfast. We were seated immediately without a reservation (we were early birds, arriving about 9am). Our waitress was just as friendly as our last and the waitstaff were as attentive as the night before. Definitely A+ for excellent Disney service. This time he had the Huevos Rancheros and I had the Eggs Benedict. I liked my breakfast, but the hollandaise was a bit on the mayo-y side. The Huevos Rancheros portion was enough to feed two or more, so his breakfast was hearty and delicious. With the restaurant almost emptied out and the lights fully lit it was a different experience from the night before. The atmosphere was classy, silver-screen stylish from the large framed photos on the walls to the crafting of the cabinets and seating.

Steakhouse 55 is my absolute favorite steakhouse. I always get their filet mignon with sh55 butter and it just melts in my mouth. Side dishes and desserts are great too, and service is always excellent. I also love that they accept annual pass discount. One tip I have is to avoid coming here during holiday weekends. My fiance and I went here for dinner this past Sunday for dinner (amidst Valentine's Day and President's Day weekend) and the wait was terrible. We were seated right away due to having a reservation, but once we placed our orders it took about an hour and 15 minutes before our food was placed on our table. Due to the long wait I noticed they gave out a free sample of a popcorn shrimp on sticky rice to all the guests, which I really appreciated. The bread and butter also helped to ease the wait and hunger too. I know this was an idle incident due to the busy weekend so they still get a 5 star from me!
(5)Adolfo S.
Great place. I haven't eaten a great meal in a long time and I'm glad to say chef marcel and his crew are doing great things here. Dinner was amazing from the 1st course to last. Thank you!
(5)Henry T.
Ate dinner at the bar. Ordered a Manhattan cocktail up. Well made but it was a small pour-half a martini glass. Ordered the Chef's sample. Tiny portions, huge ripoff for $55. Tomato and mozzarella was one small tomato with 3 tablespoons of buratta. Flank steak was tough, and there was literally a teaspoon of polenta with 2 slices of mushroom. 2 stars because they comped me a glass a wine for waiting 45 minutes for my main dish, and I had a mini loaf of Sourdough bread.
(2)Neal P.
This is on the first floor if the Disney land hotel and I went there for drinks. The bartender was mighty nice and let us sample multiple wines before we ordered our choice. That was pretty cool of him. In terms of drinks they had some top shelf liquor and I got a Hendricks gin with tonic. The drink was adequate in terms of alcoholic content and taste. I cannot comment on the food since I didn't get a chance to eat, but I wouldn't really consider this a place to go hang out. It's more of just something to do when you are at this hotel.

Second visit to a Steakhouse 55; thanks to having a family member that works at Disneyland. First time around, we made sure to have the infamous 24 layer cake which was very impressive and tasty (if you are a lover of chocolate cakes, like myself). The most recent visit, we came with my husband in tow, the connoisseur of steaks. He wasn't impressed. I actually wasn't that blown away either; by both steaks and service this time around.
(3)Fred M.
My wife and I came for dinner. The steak was great but the sides and appetizers were phenomenal! We had the filet tartare, and it was fantastic! I had the cream of onion soup and it did not disappoint. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the duck fat pomme frites were super tasty. But the crispy spinach was the best dish ever. I'm not a huge spinach fan but I couldn't stop eating it. It melted in your mouth. A definite must have! The service was great and we were well looked after. We will be coming back every time we are in Southern California.
(5)Leslie H.
I've had better for less. They did cook our steaks to order, but the sides, though they sounded special and savory, were just alright. Their flash fried spinach tasted like grease and I couldn't taste the Gruyere in the Mac & Cheese. Also, the sides were advertised as big enough to share and then they weren't enough for our party. 4 of us were sitting there, the portions were more like 2 people per side. One really bad thing was the temperature. Its a fancy place, so the cold blowing AC is great for guys in suit jackets, but not for ladies in slinky dresses. I ate dinner with my leather jacket on - uncomfortable! We didn't bother to stay for dessert.

Reservations were set about a month in advance for a Birthday dinner for the wife. Made the long walk from California Adventure, through Downtown Disney, all the way to the Disneyland Hotel & finally to Steakhouse 55 (directly adjacent to Goofy's Kitchen). Checked-in & sat in the lounge area for about 15 minutes before we were seated. Throat was parched, though a server swung by the lounge asking if anyone in our party wanted beverages as we waited... (nice start off the bat) Shortly thereafter, our party was called & escorted into the restaurant... Very modern/elegant, with glass display cases showcasing various top shelf liquor, as well as an impressive, visible wine room towards the back of the restaurant... Menus arrived & now it was now onto the daunting task of selecting one of their signature entrees or alternate items from the prix-fixe menu... I'm a sucker for rib-eye & the server (following a detailed description of the cut/marbling) left no doubt it my mind that the Bone-in Rib Eye with their signature rub was the way to go... Topped off my selection with a side of sautéed mushrooms with madera, their Seven Onion Soup, a Caesar Salad with Olive Tapenade and Parmesan crisp, all washed down with a Chimay Tripel (White)... In regards to the soup... I've had onion soup in the past, but their rendition was on another level... The server brought a large, empty bowl sprinkled with parmesan crisp, then for dramatic effect, (using a gravy boat) poured the soup into the bowl at the table... Soup was very hearty with a rich & tasty broth... The flavors/taste & textures paired quite well with the tender onions, crispy parmesan, fried shallots, cheese, etc... Not your typical ooey-gooey french onions soup, though delicious nonetheless... Caesar was good; a typical Caesar/presentation with an added + of having a bold dressing with a distinct taste of anchovy... The complimentary fresh baked sourdough & softened butter was extremely addictive as well. Warm, with a crisp crust & ultra-creamy butter that required zero effort to spread. In regards to the steak..., it came out with a nice char/blackened rub, garnished on the side with greens/red onions. First slice revealed a deep-red medium-rare, as requested... First bite was no let-down as the combination of the rub + the quality of the cut was quite harmonious. Great marbling as well, as each bite from beginning to end was consistent, assuring a juicy & flavorful experience from start to finish... It wasn't until I was about 2/3rd's of the way through the steak, where I decided to slice the veggie/onion garnish & stack with the remaining bites. Complimented well & wish I would've paired the steak with the garnish from the get-go... The wife opted for the free-range double breast of chicken which she too enjoyed... Breast was served with a similar presentation, having the greens/red onions on the side. She was quite impressed, stating the breast was very flavorful & juicy. I was able to steal a bite as well & too confirmed her 10 second synopsis... (so juicy in fact, I'm assuming preparation may have included a brining process) Sides included the Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed Potatoes (very creamy) & Sautéed Mushrooms with Madeira (great steak accompaniment as well), though I wish I would've tried their signature mac & cheese which was a fixture on most every table around us... In summary, the quality of the meat outclassed most of the other options in/near the park vicinity... Blue Bayou doesn't have much in regards to a steak option anyway & is more of an overall experience/ambiance type of joint... Braised Angus Beef Short Rib at Napa Rose is absolutely amazing, though I've yet to give any of their steaks a try... Opted for the prix-fixe World of Color package at Carthay Circle (entree being the rib-eye), & though good, marbling/seasoning could've been better & was a bit dry/bland at times... That being said, if you're craving a steak & don't feel like making a trip outside the Disney grounds, Steakhouse 55 would probably be your most legit bet... Great quality meats , tasty rub & several options to complement the steak should you wish to go that route, i.e. (bernaise, peppercorn sauce, chimichurri sauce, blue cheese or 55 butter, etc...). I however for my first steakhouse experience, relied solely on their signature rub & it did not disappoint... In regards to desserts? Unfortunately, the only available slot booked for dinner (almost a month in advance) fell too close to the start of the must see "World of Color" show at California Adventure... Had we more time, the 24 Layer Chocolate Cake was definitely calling my name... Oh well, gives us an excuse for another visit (though this was already unanimously determined following completion of our meal anyway) that we've added yet another go-to dinner option to our Disney-meal repertoire... Top this off with their amazing & friendly service & there is very little I can complain about... We shall return...

Came here to celebrate me and the husband's 1 year wedding anniversary! We had our first date at Disney, he proposed at Disney, and we had a lot of Disney at our wedding. So when I told people we'd be spending the day at Disneyland, no one was surprised. Whenever we celebrated a special occasion at Disney, we would either go to Napa Rose or to Carthay Circle. This year, we decided to try something new. We arrived a little early for our reservations, so we hung out at the bar and grabbed a couple of drinks. Then, we were seated in this beautifully romantic dining room. We decided to split the bone in ribeye with a side of mac and cheese with bacon!! After we placed our order, we were treated to some fresh bread and butter! Yum! The ribeye came already split between two plates (I love it when they do that). The meat was overcooked, but when we checked with the waiter, we found out that he wrote down medium instead of medium rare. I guess that was our bad for not double checking. The meat was seasoned well and it was a great piece of meat for the price. The mac and cheese was really good. I wasn't a huge fan at first, bit it really grew on me. I didn't really taste the bacon that much, but it was still really great. At the end of the meal we were treated with a little chocolate dessert for our anniversary! Very nice touch, Steakhouse 55. Overall, we had a great experience and I would definitely come back for a nice meal while at the Disneyland Resort =)

My boyfriend and I were highly disappointed by this restaurant, especially because it was the first thing my boyfriend was experiencing at Disney Land, since he had never been before. We knew we would be shelling out some money for the food, that wasn't a problem necessarily. But our food took FOREVER to get out. I had the prime rib, and he had the filet mignon, and it was NOT a busy night. These cuts don't take long to cook, especially the prime rib which basically should be ready to go. We ordered two glasses of wine, and that also took way too long to serve. I thought it was strange that no sides came with the meats, especially with the price of the entrees (but honestly this wasn't a main issue, it just was amplified by everything else). Mostly we were so hungry, we ended up eating all of the bread waiting for our food to come, so when it finally did come out, we couldn't eat what we had really paid for. Both of our meats weren't very well seasoned, and were fairly disappointing, especially after waiting so long for them. We also got the potato gratin, which kind of tasted like the ones you get from a box, and garlic mashed potatoes, which were weirdly sweet. We were trying to eat there, and then see the fireworks, which shouldn't have been a problem...but we ended up missing them, which was a shame. Maybe it was an off night, but I felt really bad that my boyfriend's Disney Land experience started on such a weird note.

Amazingly good and reasonably priced! Love the decor and the professionalism of the staff. My husband and I won the Disneyland diamond sweepstakes and our Disneyland tour included dinner at any of their Resteraunt. I've never even knew this place existed in the park. I've eaten at other steak house in downtown Disney for double the price and half the customer service this place has! We will be back!!!
(5)Tania Z.
So I came to the bar to have some drinks and appetizers but it's been 35 min and my food is still not out yet ... Idk if it's a busy night or what's going on but sadly, I'm disappointed. Thank god for our waitresses awesome personality or this would've been a complete bust. Thanks to her for her awesome attitude!

Everything is a la carte, very expensive but it's a steakhouse and the food is wonderful. ... if you have room for desert get the brulee

I looked this place up on Yelp and seen some pretty decent reviews. The reviews giving just did not do this place justice. Here's my experience: We were staying in the Disneyland hotel so it was very convenient. We had a couple drinks in the lounge while we were waiting for our table. Reservations are VERY important to most Disneyland places. Steakhouse 55 was running about 15 minutes behind on reservations, which for me was fine because we were having a good time drinking. I ordered the Long Island and the queen ordered a sangria. We both agreed we've had better. Not bad, not amazing. 2 drinks each costed $44.86. kind of pricey. HANDS DOWN THE BEST STEAK I'VE EVER HAD. Me and my girlfriend are from Las Vegas. I've pretty much had the best of the best here, from The Steakhouse at the Circus Circus to the Capital Grille. This place KILLS those places. I got the bone in Rib eye. Cooked a perfect medium. We also got the mashed potatoes and green beans. She ordered the filet which she said was very very good. The bill was around 150.00 with a 20.00 tip. With how good my steak was it was absolutely impossible for me to give anything less than 5 stars. I WILL BE BACK!!!!

As is my tradition, I spent my birthday at the Disney parks. And in keeping with this tradition, I made reservations at a restaurant I haven't tried there. Lucky for me, It was Steakhouse 55. The atmosphere is upscale, but there were people there (like ourselves) dressed casually. (I didn't mind, but the BF felt he would like to bring one of his short sleeve button up shirts to wear over his T-shirt on our next return. Which there will be.) We went her on 12/6, with reservations made for 7:15pm. Our server was Nick, and he was sure to wish each of us a happy birthday upon noticing our park buttons announcing the special day for us. We had ordered a bottle of red wine and met a very sweet woman (and her name escapes me, I'm kicking myself for forgetting!) She poured our wine and we asked her opinion on our steak options, what she recommended. She steered us towards the Steakhouse 55 butter topping. We placed our order: Him: Porterhouse, medium (which was perfect, pink throughout) topped with the Steakhouse 55 butter. He LOVED it - raving it was one of the best steaks he's ever had. I took a bite and had to agree; I'd order it myself. He opted to order the side of Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, which were delicious and shareable sized. Me: I ordered the Garlic & Peppercorn Lamb Chops - amazing! The best Lamb chops I have had, which isn't a whole lot, but this meal definitely hit my top 10 ever list. The lamb was ordered medium and was a perfect, almost melting feeling with each bite. I had ordered the Truffled Mac & Cheese side (also shareable) and this was a recipe I need to try to make myself. Prior to our meals, we were served a spoonful of the chef's complimentary appetizer (it looked like all the tables got this, but I'm not sure.) Tonight's was a blend of crab, asparagus and a sauce that was really delightful. I'm not a fan of most seafood (and I'm allergic to lobster) so I had to make sure I knew what was in it before tasting it. But the meat melted into the asparagus flavors seamlessly, and the sauce was a gentle pop of flavor to wash it down. After our dishes were cleared and we accepted the fact that we were going to miss the holiday fireworks in DL, Nick brought each of us our own "Happy Birthday" dessert plates - a delicious chocolate mousse under a chocolate shell, with raspberries and a candle. (It was such a treat to not have to share a dessert, as typically places will bring one dessert for all the bday people, at least in my experiences elsewhere.) Overall, our experience was very pleasant, everyone who interacted with us was polite and friendly, I never got the feeling that anyone was just getting through their shift. The man who cleared our tables (I think his name was Geraldo? Ugh why am I forgetting all this now?!) was very nice and always greeted us with each trip. The chef had come out to a couple of tables around us and was kind enough to stop (I had waved at him) and ask how our experience had been, we wanted to make sure he knew how much we loved their food. He was very polite and gracious. Our Sommelier was friendly and helpful and of course Nick, who really did set an great tone for the evening. The bill was just under $220 for 1 bottle of wine ($55) two entrees and two sides. With my premium pass the discount brought it back under $200.

I really wanted to give this steakhouse a 4-5 star rating but unfortunately I cannot. This steakhouse was one of the candidates for OC Restaurant Week 2014. I took a look at all the reviews and a lot of people spoke good things about it, not only that it's inside The Disneyland Hotel, how can it possibly go wrong? Well let me tell you, I made reservations for Saturday for a group of 5. It was an early birthday dinner for my sister and I wanted it to be great! Upon making reservations the hostess said she needed a credit card number to hold the spot, I specifically asked her if my card was going to be charged for the reservation and she said no. Ok gave her my cc number and reservations were set. Saturday came along and we arrived 10 minutes early with a party of 4, unfortunately one of them couldn't make it. I let the hostess know I had reservations and she couldn't find my name, apparently the girl I spoke to on the phone put me under a different name. My new name was Max, fortunately the day I made the reservations, I was given a reservation number. After checking in she let us know it would be a few minutes to be seated and we could just relax in the lounge area until she came to get us. No biggie I assumed it would be 10 minutes tops, boy was I wrong. It ended up being 35 minutes! We were really tempted to leave but stuck it out. Finally we were seated and took a look at the regular menu and OC Restaurant week menu. My friend, myself and my sisters bf went with the restaurant week pre-fixe menu. My sister got to order whatever she wanted and went with the regular menu. We ordered some cocktails which were pretty tasty. Food: Petite Filet Mignon w/ potato stack Au gratin and green beans - the filet was ok, we all agreed the potato stack Au gratin was the best part of that platter. New York strip - my sister said it was ok and had to much fat. She prefers the New York strip from Mastro's. Chilled Shrimp w/ cocktail sauce - was ok, nothing special, only two pieces of shrimp. "Steakhouse 55" Seven Onion Soup - my friend and sisters bf said it was ok, tasted a little bland. Mac N' Cheese w/ bacon - sister didn't really like it. Not enough flavor. Sautéed mushrooms - I thought they were too greasy and salty, I like mushrooms but I just didn't like these ones. Sorbet and Berries - sisters bf didn't like it, he thought the sorbet was too sour. Vanilla Bean Creme Brûlée - my friend and I really enjoyed it. I was very disappointed with this experience. On top of that when I was checking my statement online, I saw that they charged me $40 for the reservation, so I called Chase right away and disputed the charge. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of our server, she was really nice and attentive otherwise I would be giving 1 star. I expected better from Steakhouse 55. I should have gone to Mastro's, Ruth's Chris or The Ranch. I don't think I'll be coming back here by choice.

I rarely give out 5 stars to the places I review for Yelp, but this one deserved it through and through. If that's not enough, I actually tipped our servers 20%. That's how highly I thought of their service. I'm a 10% tipper. If they're pretty good, I'll go to 15%. But I think I have tipped maybe 20% about three other times in my life, and I turned 38 when I ate here. What I loved: 1. Atmosphere: what glorious black and white reproductions of famed celebrities of Hollywood's Golden Era. Monroe, Gable, Becall, Sinatra, etc. Just glorious. The entire restaurant is very visually appealing. Lots of things to look at in a clean, modern design. 2. The service: I've been to places that were more expensive than this, and none of them had the service we received last night. Pearl was our waitress, a short, I'm guessing Filipino woman who was no more than 5 feet tall. We never had to ask her for ANYTHING: no water, no extra napkins, not an extra plate - she just got it all out for us at the perfect time, spoke in a gentle, calming voice, a friendly smile on her face always. Everyone from the hostess to the bus boy were generous and polite. I can't say enough about the service of this place. 3. THE FOOD: What we ordered - calamari - Porterhouse steak (20 oz) - green beans with bacon That calamari, which was only $12, was very decently priced and DELICIOUS. The crust was crunchy but thin, and the dipping sauce was great. I would order this appetizer every time. I read in a food blog about this place as one of the best places to eat at Disneyland (which is a little misguided since this is actually located at Disneyland Hotel; very close to the ESPN center at Downtown Disney) that they do a GREAT porterhouse steak, which I have read in several different places is difficult to cook well. We also got it because it's so big and figured it would be a good way to limit how much we ate if we would just share a plate. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Other than the steaks I've grilled for my family, this is the best seasoned and cooked steak (I like mine extremely rare) we've ever had. It's aged to perfection and cooked EXACTLY the way I wanted it (which just doesn't happen). I would gladly order this again and share with my husband. We are both HUGE eaters, so we were shocked that we were full with all of our food. The green beans was my least favorite of all the food we got. I really wanted something green and fibrous but this was overkill. The beans were not as soft as I'd like them to be, though it is well seasoned, so the flavor was great. I forgot to mention the bread. The glorious bread that is warm right out of the oven and perfectly textured: crispy crust on the outside, soft and slightly chewy on the inside. Just exceptional. And of course, they gave you high grade real butter to slather onto it. SO GOOD we ate two loaves. 4. Surprises: we didn't order a dessert (we were about to burst) and Pearl surprised us with a MM chocolate dessert. I don't know exactly what it is (not cake, cookie or pie) but it was rich and scrumptious. We forced ourselves to eat it because it was way too good to simply let them throw it out. What I recommend: 1. It's worth getting a reservation. The place wasn't crowded but why take the chance? 2. Park at the downtown Disney structure. Plenty of time to get there. 3. Try the 21 (???) layer cake. Every table that ordered that looked like they died and went to heaven. 4. Dress up. There are lots who went in shorts and tshirts (like us) and I felt downright bad for doing so (we were at the park all day though). It's a nice place to put on your pearls and your best shoes to. It's an atmosphere that deserves your best show. Sure, there are kids at other tables, and people with their baseball caps and visors, but because of the atmosphere of the place, and the demeanor of the servers, I think everyone was on their best behavior. So lovely. 5. Try the steak. There were other things on the menu like salmon and pasta, but c'mon, the place is called a STEAKHOUSE. Order a steak. Share it with someone if you're trying to limit your intake on red meat, I don't care. Totally worth it. Our bill, including a coke came up to $77 with tax and tip. Not even joking. We are HUGE eaters and we were SO FULL. I hope you will love it as much as we did.

There is a nice bar and lounge area to grab a drink before dinner. The restaurant is decorated like an old school steakhouse. There are pictures all around the place of famous people who I am assuming ate there at some time. Our server was attentive and very friendly. He did a very good job. For our sides, family style, we ordered the Chef's Potato Stack Au Gratin and the Macaroni and Cheese. The potatoes au gratin were tasty and had a good texture. The mac and cheese had four cheeses and bacon, which blended well together. For my meal I ordered the Filet Mignon. It was a solid steak. It was not great, but it got the job done. It was prepared as ordered. I would have liked a little more seasoning. That is not normal for me to say, because I normally like my steak very simple. Food wise this place is probably a 3.5, but the service put it above a four. The cost is not that bad for Disney.
(4)Paul L.
The food here was fantastic. The waiters were very friendly however the service was very slow. It is worth the wait because the steak is fantastic. It is expensive and I would not recommend this for kids. It is also a good idea to make a reservation. The breakfast was equally tasty but again the service is very slow. No fault of the sever. I would 100% recommend this restaurant for breakfast or dinner.
(5)Marc M.
I have eaten at Steakhouse 55 about 55 times...I usually eat here 2 times per visit to Disneyland resort. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the US, the bone in Rib Eye is perfect, the ambiance is awesome, the service is good, and the cocktails are top notch. I am disappointed that after a recent Chef change that Steakhouse 55 has also removed some favorites from the menu. My family will miss the Au Gratin Potato stack and more importantly the amazing Root Beer Float dessert. 6 years ago they stopped making Soufflé and my family was equally devastated although Rootbeer Baked Alaska was my favorite by far. The new starches are not as good and the new salads are weak, but there are good new desserts. Pros: Great Steaks (55 rub) Great Desserts Great Wine Selection Cons: Menu Changes Red wine kept in a very cold cellar
(4)Doug R.
They now are offering full menu items at the adjacent bar. Hoorah! A good option for walk-ins as they're fairly rigid on maintaining a reservation-only environment.

Steakhouse 55 delivered one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long while! Not to mention, the food was delicious across the board. I expected this from such a highly praised Disney restaurant, but experiencing it for myself made me an adamant fan. FOOD. The menu wasn't too big. The entrees consisted mostly of different cuts of steak, chicken and some seafood. - Prime Rib: This is what I personally ordered for dinner. WOW. The prime rib was perfection. I've had my fair share of amazing prime rib and this one is definitely in the top 3. It was medium, just like I wanted it, and it was extremely juicy and succulent. Also, the cut was huuuuge! I couldn't finish it. A grown man might've found the serving just right, but for a person of my size and appetite, it was huge. It's served with au jus and horseradish on the side. They put the au jus on top if you allow them to. - Filet Mignon: Though not the biggest slice of meat in the world, it did the job of filling you up. This specific steak wasn't as juicy as others I've had before but it was still good. I think filet mignon cut fans would like this steak a lot. - French Onion Soup: Not your traditional looking French onion soup. It's very tasty and recommended by the French man who had it that night, so that's saying something right? - Yukon Mashed Potatoes: If I could eat these mashed potatoes everyday, I WOULD. Oh my goodness, these mashed potatoes are delicious! The serving is good to feed 3 people generously, unless you're sharing with me (I ate a lot of this stuff). I'm a huge fan of mashed potatoes and I give these ones two thumbs up! - Broccoli with Garlic: So yummy! Huge serving, as well. - 24 Layer Chocolate Cake: THE BEST chocolate cake EVER! Kudos to the chef who created this dessert. You can watch a video of how they make it here: ( youtube.com/watch?v=jcRd… ) It's alternating layers of chocolatey goodness that you just cannot skip out on if you're dining at Steakhouse 55. A must try! SERVICE. The service here was superb, from the hostess in the front to the waiters who helped us during our meal. We were early for our reservation, but the hostess was ready to seat us right that moment or anytime until our scheduled reservation. We got seated right away and the hostess gave us a little history about the restaurant and the inspiration behind it. Our waiters, Alfredo and another man (can't remember his name!), were very nice and attentive throughout our meal. They brought us bread right away, took our orders in a timely fashion and attended to our every need. They never let our waters get low and cleaned up crumbs off our table. Also, at the end of our meal, they brought us a complimentary "Happy Birthday" chocolate mousse cake with a lit candle! That was so sweet of them. I hadn't mentioned to them that we were celebrating a birthday, but it was noted on the reservation. I had totally forgot I mentioned it in the reservation so it was a nice surprise. PRICE. For a fancy Disney hotel, the prices aren't that bad. If you have an annual pass or a cast member ID, you get anywhere from 10-15% off. Can't get that discount at any other steakhouse! ATMOSPHERE. This restaurant is 1950s themed, as our hostess informed us upon entering the dining area. There are black and white pictures of famous people from that time, a lot of them taken with Walt Disney. We had a view of their wine room, which housed a ton of wine bottles. The whole place is very simply decorated but it was classy. LOCATION/PARKING. This restaurant is located in the Disneyland Hotel. Parking is free with restaurant validation, both valet and self park. OVERALL. Love this restaurant and the awesome service I received here! Steakhouse 55 is doing just about everything right and I will definitely return next time I am celebrating something worthy of that amazing prime rib! :)

It's like Norms but classy! Ladies and gentleman, get ready to eat some really amazing food! Came here after running the Disneyland 1/2 marathon. Hey, ya burn 1,200+ calories, I think I can afford to eat some BACON! Anyway, came to eat brunch with my fellow runners and we had reservations at 10:45am. We got seated at 11:00am. Not bad of a wait! Got to enjoy some cartoons and stretched in the kids' theater room. Note: make sure to have reservations!! Once seated we were greeted by our server, Aiko. She was so so sweet and adorable! Great customer service! We got our beverages...coffees & cappuccino! One of my friends' is vegan, so it was really nice of Aiko to get the chef to explain or discuss her options. The chef came and spoke to her, she ended up getting gluten free pancakes with warm berries...yummy! It looked very tasty! Let's see, for the carnivores, we ordered eggs, sausage, carbs & of course...BACON! Canadian or American, bacon is bacon! I got the "America Breakfast" ('Merica! which included 2 eggs any style, 2 bacon strips or sausage or ham, toast or bagel, & potatoes!) and my cousin got the 2 x's 4 (it comes with 2 pancakes or French toast, 2 eggs any style, 2 strips of bacon, 2 strips of sausage & potatoes!). My friends also got the Eggs Benedict (a must try!) and another set of the 2 x's 4! All this food for under $15.00 each...score! The food is amazing and delicious! My mouth is salivating just writing this! Ahhhh, I love breakfast food and this place takes the cake! The place is very classy and seems formal but we showed up after running 13.1 miles. So they take you as you are! Definitely a great place to eat and you pay for what you get! Very clean environment and the presentation of the food is beautiful! Thank you Aiko for your kindness, professionalism, and more importantly serving with a smile!

My parents took my husband and I here for our joint birthday dinner. We have already been to Storyteller Cafe, Blue Bayou, Carthay Circle... but hadn't eaten here. The menu looked delicious and our waiter was very knowledgable. They start you off with bread. I was pleased to find that the bread was warm and the butter was room temperature. That almost never happens. We started off with calamari. It comes with a spicy aioli, but no matter how fancy a place is, I only like my calamari with tartar sauce. I asked a waitress for tartar sauce and she looked at me and repeated it as though I asked for a cup of apple juice with it... I wasnt aware that was a strange request. Regardless, the calamari was delicious. For my meal, I ordered a medium rare filet mignon. As did everyone but my stepdad who ordered the bone-in rib-eye with the Steakhouse 55 Rub. My steak was really good and the rub on the rib-eye was delicious... but the sides... this is where two stars fell off. I understand everyone has different tastes... and I can imagine why this place gets 4 stars on average, but one thing I hate with steak is sweet food. We ordered the yukon gold garlic mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and 4 cheese bacon macaroni. The potatoes were sweet-ish and pretty underwhelming overall, actually I already forgot what they taste like. The spinach was the most heartbreaking for me, as creamed spinach is one of my favorite foods. It was way too sweet and tasted as though it were marinated in nutmeg. The macaroni came in a processed cheese soup with no bacon to be found. We opted to not waste money on dessert because we are afraid of further disappointment in foods that should, in theory, be delicious. They did make up for it by bringing my husband and I these cute little birthday desserts... our waiter really was wonderful. His name is Nick if you are lucky enough to get him. If you like sweet sides, this place is good. But its a lot of moolah for the quality overall. Pretty ambiance though.

Amazing find inside Disneyland Hotel! It is an upscale restaurant with great 1940s feel. The food and service is amazing and portions are generous! Ribeye is the best I've had in Anaheim. Special celebration or quiet evening out its a perfect fit! I recommend to anyone!
(5)Sarah B.
Naturally you want to come for the food. And let me tell you, it is delicious. I suggest getting the Chef's tasting if you're on a budget. I come here at least once a year and honestly that's all I'm going to say about the food because it's delicious. What you're really going to remember, though, is the experienced your server takes you through. And there's no server you want more than David from Walnut (DMC). He is knowledgeable and genuinely cares for you as a person. I am young, just out of college and don't look like I have a lot of money. He treated me like I was the queen on the world and didn't made me feel even a little unwelcome unlike most high end restaurants. You also might get the pleasure of meeting Fabian from Anaheim who will fill your water without you knowing it and give you the best smile and some great laughs. At the end of my meal, the manager Claire came over to check and make sure we had the best experience. And we did. I love this restaurant and these servers and I promise you that if you ask for David, Fabian and Claire, they'd be happy to meet you.

If you're one of the millions of visitors that flock to the Magic Kingdom to create memories and drop a ton of cash...here is one more place you should consider for lightening your wallet. Steakhouse 55 is a relaxing, intimate steakhouse restaurant located on the grounds of the Disneyland hotels and convention center (points with chin). It is without a doubt one of the best dining experiences my family has ever had in or near the park. Come here if you enjoy biting into a perfectly prepared steak or go big with your own 10-12 .oz lobster tail. Its also a good idea to pair your entrees with a side. I opted for the fully dressed baked potato with my New York strip. The whole thing was spectacular. A decent wine selection is available and recommended. Other items to pair your food with: Asparagus with Hollandaise Sautéed or Creamed Spinach Macaroni and Cheese, 4 cheeses and bacon ...and more. Its all here....including a 24 layered chocolate cake for dessert! Not in to red meat? Seafood, chicken and pork are available. Not in to any kind of meat? Stay away. If I had a do over...I would have started with some crab cakes or calamari. This is definitely a place to splurge and bust out a credit card. It ain't cheap but the experience is great and am looking forward to my next return. Its an alternative if you can't get in to Club 33. Sigh if only. Cheers!

This year, for the first time, we decided to have an impulse dinner at SH55. I mean, how bad could it be? We expected steak, vegetables, cocktails, and a comfortable table. We were right, plus so much more! This dark, cozy space belies the sparkle and youth of the Disneyland Hotel. Can this warm, classy restaurant really be steps away from Goofy's Kitchen? Our service was magical, with an invested, intelligent, competent waiter who seamlessly directed assistants as needed. We ordered practically 1 of everything and had so.much.food. Literally every bite was delicious---creative to a point but not overly complex as to scare the teens or have dinner double as 'art'. We had a ball. As a family, we have eaten at several high end Disney restaurants (oh, le bill was steep--$400+ not including some alcohol----and FYI, get a Manhattan! Their cherries are not plucked from a can of fruit cocktail. I should have ordered a side of cherries) and next visit, if we needed to pick just 1, it would be SH55.

Every time we go to the parks (about once a month) we eat at SH55. Like all things Disney... they never let you down. I always order: SH55 Ribey: This is possibly the most amazing thing I've ever put in my mouth. If I could give a sixth star just for this steak.. I would. The rub on it is magical. Mash: Whatever the flavor of the mashed potatoes (it's changed a few times in the past year) it's always delicious. Creamed Corn: I know... how old am I? But this is the best creamed corn I've ever tasted.. and I'm make some damned good creamed corn. My GF orders the Lobster Bisque every time. She loves it.. sometimes she feels they're a bit heavy on the sherry. The deserts are all good. The 60th anniversary Diamond Banana Cream Pie is pretty cool and uber delicious if you like chocolate. With our AP discount, with Drinks, Appetizers, Steaks, Sides and Desert, it runs about $150. That is super cheap for a steakhouse meal. I'll also say this.. I work in a Law Firm and have to wear a button-up and slacks every day.. and I hate it. One of the thing I love about SH55 is that it's at Disneyland which means I can wear a pair of shorts, t-shirt and flip flops.. and nobody bats an eye. LOVE IT!

Here's a pro tip: If there's a long wait for dining and it's a small party, consider ordering food from the full menu at the bar. This is available at the bar only and not in the adjacent lounge area. My friend and I were pleasantly surprised when we meant to just order drinks and a small bite or two. Our bartender, Magic, let us know that we could order anything from the restaurant menu as well. So we ordered the crab cake, a steakhouse salad (split plate) and the truffle mac & cheese. Great call.

The food and service were magical! Have always wanted to eat here, so this was my birthday dinner! My husband and I loved it! They brought nice warm bread with most amazing butter! We then split their romaine salad which was very pretty. We shared the Yukon gold mashed potatoes and the Mac n cheese for sides! Both so deliciously creamy! For our main entrees we ordered the 20 oz. porterhouse and the 18 oz. ribeye and OMG they were so tender and perfectly cooked! YUMMMM!!!! Our server, Oscar kept checking on us and was so attentive. He made our dining experience so pleasurable. Our dinner ended with a delicious and adorable complimentary Mickey cake! So chocolatey, creamy and super cute! I can't wait to go back! Plus they offer a discount to annual passholders!

One of the best steak places ever!!! I went here for my anniversary dinner and we had an amazing time. Made reservations one week in advance and we were seated right away. The ambiance was classy with a touch of Disney flair. FOOD// For appetizer, we ordered the Mac and Cheese Truffle which was delicious and didn't seem too heavy. Can definitely taste the truffle. The chef also gave us complementary appetizers which had a mango sorbet to cleanse our pallet before the main entree. I ordered the Prime Rib that was tender, juicy and perfect flavoring to match the horseradish and gravy sauce. For dessert, we ordered the Creme Brûlée. It looked like a huge portion but it was thin, crisp crust and just the right amount of sweetness. We also got a complimentary Anniversary dessert in a Disney Design. SERVICE// Service was hangs down excellent. From the Valet parking guys who were super friendly and informative. Waitress was friendly, attentive, and continuous checked up in us. Two thumbs up to the chef for the comp dishes. After dinner we were able to walk around the Disney hotel and Downtown Disney. Overall, absolutely loved Stakehouse 55. Highly recommend!!!

Must order: bone in rib eye, truffles Mac & cheese I was racking my brain on a good place for us to have our special anniversary date night. Last year when we first moved here, I sort of bombed in my selection since I was looking for a place that has marrow (it didn't) and turned out it also wasn't a special spot (it was a hotel restaurant). Since we haven't been to Disney in awhile due to our blockout period, I though, why not a Disney spot? We'll at least get our fix. Enter Steakhouse 55. I had low expectations because it was another hotel restaurant and usually theme park restaurants aren't known for their cuisine. But, I was pleasantly surprised! The environment was definitely finer dining (no baskets of food here!). Although I was disappointed to see other guests in shorts and tshirts when my husband and I were in a dress and a suit. The service was impeccable (although you really can't expect anything less from Disney). The food was amazing! We were given a hot loaf of bread which was delicious with their butter. We almost couldn't stop eating it! We started off with the shrimp cocktail appetizer, although plump and juicy, it was a small blip compared to our entrees. We were then offered an amuse buse and unfortunately because it had crab, I couldn't have it. My husband loves it though! And they came back with a melon one for me. My husband had the bone in rib eye with a crab cake. His steak was amazing! Just one bite made my eyes roll back! I also loved that it came with a piece of bone marrow which was equally as good. I had the scallops and although I think I should have stuck with the appetizer portion instead of the entree. I was already full and couldn't finish it! I also had the truffles Mac and cheese which was so delicious and decadent. Because I had called ahead to tell them that we were celebrating out anniversary, they treated us with the cutest Mickey ears chocolate mousse. It was the perfect cap to our evening! All in all, it was a great anniversary dinner and I'm so glad I took the chance on another hotel restaurant!

Our family of five dined here on the night of the 10th of July. Dinner here was excellent - the staff are attentive and helpful, the food is plentiful and well portioned, the steaks well cooked. I had the slow cooked ribeye, which was pink in the middle, extremely tender, and served with a tasty jus and horseradish sauce. My wife had the filet mignon, which was beautifully cooked. But what we really loved (and this is a bit funny to admit) were the side dishes. The risotto with calamari was utterly superb. By itself it would have been a 5/5 dish. The beans with mushrooms were also delicious. Again, it is amusing that a steakhouse would have side dishes that eclipse the main entree meals, but I kid you not - the side dishes are as good as it gets. We really enjoyed Steakhouse 55 - it was a welcome night out with the family as a part of our stay at the Disneyland resort.
(5)Daniel R.
Absolutely amazing. Definitely one of the best highlights from our Disneyland visit. We were in awe of how amazing our waiter was, Oscar. He was by far the best waiter you will ever get.
(5)Leslie R.
Was fortunate enough to eat here for my Bachelorette party at Disneyland! We came for breakfast. The menu was limited but enough choices, both healthy and not-so-healthy. Our server Steven was super sweet although he was a little lagging in taking our orders. It wasn't very busy so I don't know why it took so long. Our food also took awhile to arrive. This was fine for us because we didn't have any plans after but I wouldn't go here if you expect to hurry off to the park. The prices were not that bad for a restaurant in the Disneyland hotel. In fact, it was only a few dollars more expensive, if that, for a breakfast platter in the actual park. All in all, I am glad we came to the restaurant. It's tucked away behind Goofy's Kitchen but definitely more for the 'older' crowd, which we appreciated :)

Steakhouse 55 is amazing. Reasonably priced compared to other steakhouses. Everything from the appetizers to deserts are nothing but superior. We ordered the 16oz prime rib which was extremely tender. The horseradish cream sauce that came on the side was amazing, I could take a bath in it. The 20oz porterhouse was also delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. It came with a side of bone marrow. Not a fan of marrow though. As side dishes, we ordered the truffle Mac and cheese and loaded baked potato which had pastrami, creamed corn, and green chili. The Mac was absolutely amazing. One of the best I've ever had. Potato was ok. I probably wouldn't order that ever again. For desert, the 24 layer cake looked better than it tasted. Next time, I'll try the banana cream pie. Our server was named Selena. She was very sweet and attentive and made conversation with us. One of the best servers I've ever had. The service is what will keep me coming back.
(5)Josefa Y.
We rated this as one of the best restaurants we ate in while on our Vegas/Cali road trip. Excellent food and staff. Whilst I appreciate this is Disneyland, I was a little surprised people bought babies to such a high end eatery - particularly after 9pm. Very expensive, but worth it!

My Dapper Day and anniversary dinner rolled into one, with OC Restaurant Week on the side. The only reservations available for Sunday night when I called on Wednesday was for 9:30 pm. Was able to move it up to 9:25 pm when I called on Saturday. When Sunday rolled around, checked in early in the evening at 8:30 pm and got seated at 8:45 pm! Anything past 8:30 pm on a Sunday night before the start of work on Monday would be rough, but I didn't want to pass up on a Steakhouse 55 experience when it was Dapper anniversary OC restaurant day! BF ordered a side car, a drink invented by a WWII general that became his favorite drink. It's pretty much whiskey with sours. Seeing how the drink was concocted by a war general, it was both weird and unexpected that it came in a martini glass. 0_o At least the drink was very smooth, not enough to get you hammered yet, but not too much on the watered down side. As for the much anticipated meal offerings, they had ran out of the prime rib, which was an option off the OC Restaurant Week menu. Disappointing to say the least, since it was the first night of OC Restaurant Week and plus, we were able to be seated earlier. Imagine if we sat for the 9:30 reservation...I wonder what would still be available from the menu at that time! The run down of the prie-fixe meal: ** TABLE BREAD: a loaf of warm sourdough bread with butter. I suspect and hope it was the sourdough made fresh from the Boudin Bakery location in California Adventure. Soft and so so good! ** TIGER PRAWNS: first course. We both got the prawns, which came in threes. HUGE!! ** PETITE FILET MIGNON (comes with side of delmonico potatoes and sauteed French green beans): it was a VERY VERY small petite filet mignon. The most petite I've ever had. So ridiculously tiny. Cooked perfectly to medium rare though. Delicious, but I wished the portion was a little larger. Of all the DineLA and Restaurant Week places I have gone to, this was the smallest entree size I've ever seen. ** FAVA BEAN AND RYE CRUSTED KING SALMON (comes with same sides as the filet mignon): the salmon was moist and soft, but on the fishy taste side. ** VANILLA BEAN CREME BRULEE: Generous portion! ** CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE: Nutella!! Delicious and decadent. Our server David was absent most of the time. It was weird. After we were seated and ordered drinks, he told us they were out of prime rib, so obviously, we needed some more time to consider what to order. He went to check on his other tables and did the following two times: he would walk to our table and abruptly turn around right before he got to us. 0_o He did this twice. I know because I sat in the seat that wasn't facing the walls, so I could see him come up and turn back all of a sudden. Very strange. Ignacio made sure we got water refills and cleared away dishes. He also recommended trying the 24 layer chocolate cake when we have a chance and talked to us about how they've revamped the menu completely when the Club 33 chef moved over to Steakhouse 55. We saw Ignacio more than David, even though David was our assigned server. The food is 3.5 stars and service 3 stars. What made me round down was when Monday lunch time rolled around. Seeing how we ate late, I wanted to box up half of the filet mignon and the sides to go. We also took the bread to go. Picture my astonishment when I opened up the two takeout boxes to find that: 1) They threw away my green beans! Only the potatoes and filet mignon got boxed up. How wasteful. I was looking forward to eating the green beans (sauteed is the way to go)! 2) Bread did not have the butter included. We had 4 full round slices of butter that were untouched. I expected them to include that and they didn't! Luckily the bread tasted just as good without the butter, but still! What a waste of butter that could go to 4 tables!! I remember coming here for an anniversary dinner years ago when it was still Granville's Steakhouse -- it wasn't too memorable as all I could recall was that I ordered a steak of some sort. Will I return? Probably only for the 24 layer chocolate cake.

Gotta Love Walt's Places! Good Breakfast and Steakhouse! One of the better places to eat breakfast at Disneyland, the little one and I have eaten here numerous times without being dissappointed. The menu offers a full range of breakfast items. My favorite is, indeed, Eggs Benedict. The eggs benedict are always done right. A full breakfast menu offers many choices from cereals to pancakes. Coffee is good and they serve espresso! The restaurant also boasts fairly good steaks and a full dinner menu with excellent wine options. Steakhouse 55 is an alternative to the adjacent Goofy's Kitchen. While I favor both places, they are distinctly different. Here, there are no character stings but I really enjoy the classy ambiance and sitting where all the famous stars such as Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball. In fact, it may be easier to get a reservation here than next door at Goofy's. The prices may be a bit higher here, but the ambiance is nice. Parking-5 Stars Get your parking validated. The first three hours are free. You can also do valet. In any case, the parking situation allows for an enjoyable non-rushed dinner with some extra time to walk around the grounds and enjoy the hotel. A great dining option, reasonably priced, at the happiest place on Earth. I am a fan! Steakhouse 55, Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim...another reason the OC is the best place to live!

Breakfast review only! Great service, food, and location. My party had a reservation at 9am and upon arrival we only waited about five minutes before we were seated. Steakhouse 55 is a beautiful restaurant. You would never think Goofys Kitchen is right next door, which is perfect! They have both the breakfast and dinner menus available towards the entrance if you want to take a look at them before entering. Like I said the restaurant is beautiful. It feels like you're having your meal during the 1950s. Service was wonderful. Everyone was attentive and sweet. I ordered the Two times Four entree with my French Toast on the side. Once again, everything was delicious. My only regret is ordering a Mimosa. $12 for a Mimosa, that is crazy expensive. Reservations are recommended for breakfast, but the restaurant is pretty flexible with walk ins during breakfast hours. If you're looking for a nice, intimate, and affordable restaurant within the resort for breakfast, this is it! A couple things I would stay away from are things like the mimosa at $12 and ordering cereal at $8.

3.5 stars I came here for my boyfriend's birthday and I went in with high expectations regarding their service. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed. Pros: the food itself was pretty good. I ordered a filet mignon medium rare and it was cooked the way I liked it. I loved the mashed potatoes as a side to share. The sauteed spinach was just alright. My boyfriend ordered the bone-in rib-eye and he seemed to enjoy it. It was pretty pricey and I spent a little over 150 for 2 entrees, 2 drinks, 2 sides (with my 10 percent AP discount). Cons: the service was a little lackluster. It was a Tuesday night and the place was not busy at all. Our server David did not come to our table for the longest time and I had to flag down another server to look for him. When he finally did come, he seemed very distracted by the larger party next to us and we had to repeat some of the items to him. He is a nice guy but I felt like spending the $$$ that I did, I would like the server to be a little more attentive and warmer. I would also like to give credit to Alfredo, who is a sweetheart and brought us our waters and bread when our server was nowhere to be found. The food itself was pretty good but I might not come back again for a special occasion, such as a birthday.

Incredibly awesome steak and other dishes. Wine is excellent along with everything. Atmosphere is amazing and service is perfect. We recommend this place to everyone!
(5)Michelle L.
I've had good steak but this place is on the top of my list now! Everything I had was superb and service was excellent! The price is kinda up there but to me it is worth the price. The ambiance is nice and relaxing. It was a nice way to end the last night of our Disneyland trip!
(5)Peggy R.
After a fun trip to Disneyland, we were all hungry and wanted "just NOT park food". After almost giving up and going to Goofy's Kitchen which was swarmed with people, we found that Steakhouse 55 was behind Goofy's Kitchen. So just walk past that giant mob of people waiting for Goofy's Kitchen if you think that you missed it. We were really lucky since the restaurant was full that night, but we had gone early enough that there were still a few seats at the bar where we could order from the normal dinner menu. And order from the bar menu, I guess, but we didn't. The bar itself has three kinds of single malt scotchs there (the most popular ones)!! Food: French dip w/pomme frites - good sandwich, but not the greatest for the price point, though I do need to remind myself that I'm at Disneyland, what did I expect the prices to be? Right? Prime Rib - cooked well, no complaints Broiled salmon - I didn't expect much from Salmon at a Steakhouse, but other than it being Atlantic Salmon (I prefer the Wild Pacific Northwest Salmon), it was nicely cooked as well. Mashed Potatoes - This place is either Price Fixe for $40 (which I thought was a great deal, but I wanted a different protein) or everything a la carte. Overall, I had a good experience, but I've definitely had better.
(3)Carla G.
Love it! Great service, great environment, delicious food. Well worth the price. Our waiter (David) was wonderful. The food was amazing and even the seating was perfect. Will definitely be returning.

What a NIGHTMARE of an experience at Steakhouse 55. There is nothing worth the prices, atmosphere, or service you will get at this restaurant. We recently went here for a work birthday party for a co-worker of ours who really loves Disney. We were really looking forward to a fun night together before the service really derailed that. Steve was our waiter and promptly took our drink orders once we sat down. It was a bit of a concern when we didn't have our drinks 20 minutes later and couldn't find him, but it the restaurant looked full, so maybe it was busy. Once we finally got drinks, it was another 20 minutes to flag Steve down so he could take our dinner orders. I asked for the seasonal (mushrooms, peas, carrots on the night we went) risotto side as a dinner entree. What commenced was a wait for food that I have never experienced before and a ghost waiter who was impossible to find. Even when we asked other various staff for drinks, appetizers, silverware, they simply brought it themselves, with no Steve in sight. When we finally did get our food (45 minutes later), I got what can only be described as a buffet portion of zucchini and squash risotto. Not only did I not want 2+ pounds of risotto, I was really looking forward to the mushroom combination. Because of the terrible experience, the guy who organized our dinner talked to a manager. She told us she would love to give us a (small) discount on our next meal there. No thanks, we won't be back...
(1)Andy N.
STEAK TIME! I came here the other night and had such an amazing experience. The chefs were extra cool and the servers were on point. We also got to go in the wine celler and try out different wines. The bread and butter was addicting. We had the lobster ravioli soup, mac and cheese, prime rib, seabass, rib eye, t-bone, risotto, spinach, and more.. I lost count after awhile. The service was on point the entire night. It's located inside the Disneyland Hotel. Right next to Goofys Kitchen. I'm glad I finally got to try the place out. My prime rib was good stuff! Nice and juicy with a lot of flavor from the creamed horseradish. The place is very nice inside but they don't require fancy attire. I would definitely come back!
(5)Scott G.
I wanted to have one "nice" dinner while doing a staycation at Disney for a couple nights. I had never even been inside the Disneyland Hotel so I thought why not kill two birds with one stone and eat there as well. We got there early so we hung out in the lounge and had a drink while we waited for our table to be ready. I had two elementary school aged children with me and they had some non-alcoholic drinks that were appealing to them. Once inside the restaurant I enjoyed the old school decor and forgot I was even at Disney. The filet and the fish ordered by my wife and I were tasty and cooked perfectly. The truffle mac and cheese sounded better than it actually was. The peach butter cake was good but I am forever ruined by the Mastros butter cake and it doesn't compare. I decided to treat myself to a pour of Louis XIII Cognac and I was surprised that it was one of the best prices I have ever seen at a restaurant at $135/oz
(4)Sam N.
Came to this wonderful place to celebrate an intimate birthday. First off the reception area where we waited to fill our reservation was well staffed and they came over to ask if we wanted any cocktails before our dinner. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated. It had dim lights and the decor was very appropriate. As for the food- we ordered the pan roasted pork belly, porterhouse 20oz steak, and sides of mashed potatoes, Duck fat pomme frites, and truffle macaroni and cheese. The pork belly was TO DIE FOR. It is literally the best piece of pork belly I've had in my life. The fat was smooth and creamy, the meat was nice and juicy and the bottom crust was crispy and perfect. The waiter also suggested a great Zinfandel to go with my meal. The porterhouse steak was HUGE!!! I could not believe the size of it. I ordered it medium rare and it came out juicy and soft and just perfect to my likings. It also came with a side of bone marrow which was cooked to perfection and a great additive taste in the side. The sides altogether were very good. Great flavors and taste. Since it was a birthday dinner we received a complimentary Mickey Mouse mousse cake. We also ordered the 24 layer cake and that was amazing- even on the second day! :) The price was great in reference to all the food we had. Our waiter DAVID was amazing as well. I felt well taken care of and the night was perfect.

This place is a Disney hidden gem. Met some friends here for breakfast and the selection was great. I took the healthy route and ordered the oatmeal. It was hearty and delicious. My friends ordered the eggs Benedict and loved that dish as well. The atmosphere is very classic, with pictures of stars such as Lucille Ball and Marilyn Monroe dining in similar settings. I can't wait to try their lunch menu.
(5)Carmelita M.
We were celebrating my sister's birthday and Disneyland and we knew we wanted something special to celebrate for dinner. We took the monorail from the park to Downtown Disney and went to Steakhouse 55 (we made reservations, although they weren't incredibly busy).This was special and we had checked out the menu prior to the meal, we weren't surprised at the $30-60 entrees. We loved it. I had the filet mignon and my sister had lamb chops. Both were cooked almost perfectly and were full of delicious flavor. We were very impressed with our server (Bernice) and her assistant (Fernando). They were attentive, friendly, and professional. This was a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the theme park and the fast food/cafeteria atmosphere. As an added bonus they brought my sister a tasty birthday mouse mousse. If your looking for a more elegant, quiet, getaway meal at Disneyland, I recommend Steakhouse 55.
(4)Diane B.
I really liked it! The meats were cooked just how we ordered. And the horseradish...how could they make me rethink my opinion on horseradish? I ate it up! We made a reservation for 5:30 and had a drink in the lounge before heading in. Oldie but good vibe inside. Nice and dark and intimate. Our server was very pleasant and even brought out a birthday mickey for my love. In addition, we ordered the 24 layer chocolate cake and had to take half home. Next day eats! Yes! I really thought I could finish that sucker off, but the ganache is really rich makes your tongue comatose. I loved it! We got the prime rib and the ribeye. Also, the gruyere potatoes. Everything was awesome! Thank you for making my Disney day!
(5)Alice C.
For a restaurant in downtown Disney, this is pretty decent. For a regular steakhouse, it's just ok. Good environment though, with the dim lighting and the romantic atmosphere. However, the clientele is mostly of kids with Mickey hats, which breaks any sort of actual romantic feel, if you are here with a date. I imagine most of the people giving 5-stars here had a fabulous time because they are on vacation. Research has shown that you're more forgiving of food and service quality if you are with good company. Not me, I care about the food. Not that I was with bad company -- we were here for a friend's 30, and we had a huge, huge, huge group. Most of us had some snacks and weren't too hungry before coming here, but since we have more activities in the night I insisted that we get some food. They have a fairly standard steakhouse menu, with a lot of steaks (surprise!), sides, and other items should you dislike beef. I saw a prix fixe menu, which offered a salad, a steak, and a dessert for a much more manageable price (I'm tempted to say...$45 or $55? I forgot, too much booze), so I opted for that, and then proceeded to clean all of my plates, as they were portioned on the smaller side than the a la carte items. Everything was decent. However, nothing really stood out either -- it was a notch better than Outback, but not where I'd go for my fancy prime rib cut. On the other hand, some drinks were pretty awful -- if you order anything that is on the sweet side, prepare to get syrup! I ended up ordering a lot of manly drinks so I'm not syrup'd out.

We were staying at this hotel , but some cast member at the park told us to go here. So we decided to give it a try for breakfast . This place is super retro and fancy and clean and everyone there is so nice . The food is amazing !! We both got the steak and eggs. And everything in that place was just amazing . The prices for breakfast aren't that bad compared to everywhere in the park . We are def coming here again .
(5)Rita D.
The atmosphere is nice. The service was very good. The meals are expensive and "side dishes" are an additional price. We ordered the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Kids said the mac tasted funny. I thought the mashed potatoes had an odd taste.Steaks were good, have had better.This restaurant in my opinion should be less expensive or change in recipes /review by staff.
(4)Rachel L.
Really, it's the Cast Members that make the experience. The bar drinks are fantastic. I had a great cosmo and the husband had a Moscow mule. Yum. Food was good. When you come here, the bar is set high and Disney always has great food, so it really has to be above and beyond to blow me away. Husband had the filet, I had the fish of the day, which was sea bass type fish. We had the crazy 12 layer chocolate cake, which was fun and ridiculous at the same time. I am not a big chocolate person, and still enjoyed it. I took most of it home since there was so much of it, and it lasted me for days.
(3)Michael L.
The food was pretty good and our waiter was really nice and helpful. I know mistakes happen but when I called in, they said that there wasn't a wait and we ended up waiting 45 minutes for our table. Also, we had to wait even longer for our food to arrive because they got our order wrong. I ordered a medium rare rib eye and probably got a medium. We asked to split the rib eye and it was an extra $5 charge for "plating." Again, our waiter was great and mistakes do happen, but for the price I paid and what I got, I had to give it a 3. PS: the seasonal risotto is a must. White Beet and Fennel was so good.
(3)Melissa L.
Make a reservation. Great service, great food. Large portions, good for sharing ($5 charge for splitting an entree). I had the Bone-in Ribeye (split with a friend because the single serving is 18oz!) and Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The sides are large enough to share, sort of family style. So good! Every item is a la carte. Had the 24 Layer Chocolate Cake and the Creme Brulee for dessert. Both are excellent. Highly recommend if you want to splurge.

My first meal with Steakhouse 55 was for OC Restaurant Week with some friends one rainy day in March. The menu for OC Restaurant week was a set one with options for appetizer, entree, and dessert. I went with the "Steakhouse 55" Seven Onion Soup, Roasted Prime Rib, and Chocolate Mousse Cake. Before the meal began, the waiter brought over fresh, hot loaves of sourdough bread, baked on the property. The crust was crunchy and the bread was perfectly moist and full of that wonderful sourdough flavor I love. Normally I'm not a big onion soup fan, but the broth was rich and flavorful and the onions were cooked perfectly - not too soft but not firm. The prime rib was juicy and tender - the bites of steak melted in my mouth. Like the other reviews, the au gratin potatoes were slightly crispy on top and moist throughout. I liked how these potatoes weren't too saucy like other au gratin I've eaten. The chocolate mouse cake was light and airy - a wonderful way to finish the meal without feeling stuffed. Service was exceptional - waiters and servers were gracious and cheerful like you would expect from Disney service. I would definitely come back and dine with them again.

I've been twice and it hasn't disappointed yet. The steak if awesome! Probably one of the best I've had in southern California. Service is always very personable the ambiance is awesome due to all of the great pictures on display of famous people who have sat down there.

Wow the food here was amazing. I had the filet mignon and was very happy. Even their desserts were incredible. A little on the pricey side but well worth it.

Dinner was a nice experience. Great service as usual. Steak was very good but didn't seem like Prime meat, but they never said it was either. Side dishes were all yummy. Most memorable moment: the recurring recollection by one of our young connoisseurs that the Caesar salad was the most perfect salad he had ever eaten - every leaf of lettuce was perfectly coated with dressing.

Love this place!!! I think this is the best breakfast restaurant in the Disneyland Resort. I tell everyone I know to try it. It's a sit down service restaurant with white table cloths on the tables. You are surrounded by Disney history with black and white photos hanging on the walls. Your meal is about $12 plus $3 for your drink. Steak and eggs $17. It's a must try. Remember the hours are from 7-11am daily. Dinners are also excellent. Took my parents here for their 60th wedding anniversary. Food and service was outstanding.

Came here for desert and a nightcap - we ordered the 24 Layer Cake, it was outstanding, to quote my wife, "It tastes as good as it looks." It was really, really good. Prices reasonable considering quality of food and that you're on Disney property. We'll be back for a full dinner and we hear the breakfast is great too!

Okay steak, done Disney. Despite the preponderance of steakhouses on the Disneyland strip (Morton's, Ruth's Chris), decided on Steakhouse 55, which was an integral part of the Disneyland Hotel (an important factoid for the cab driver) for a unique steak adventure. Sadly, despite having a retired Disney car out front, the restaurant itself was pure steakhouse. However, it's hard to achieve too much refinement as a steakhouse when the clientele tends to show up wearing Mickey ears. Ordered the bone-in prime rib on the recommendation of the gastronomically well-experienced waiter. To their credit, the steak arrived promptly, and perfectly rare. Disney's dry rub was tasty, but masked the fact that the steak, while being quite flavorful and tender, didn't quite measure up with the dry-aged slabs of wonder found in Chicago, or at St. Elmo's in Indianapolis. Then again, accounting for a Disneyland markup, the competitive $39 price point represents a bit of a bargain for the experience, and definitely preferable to the chain experiences at its Anaheim competitors. Potatoes au gratin were fine. Green beans with bacon were better. Important to order something, as the steaks arrived without sides.

I went here with my husband to celebrate after his Disneyland half marathon. Overall I thought it was good but not great; for the price I don't feel the need to go back, but I did enjoy the experience. We checked in and waited in the bar for 5-10 minutes. They brought us back into the restaurant which had a great vibe- lots of blown up photos on the walls of Walt and other stars. Our waiter was a tad quirkier than I would have cared for, but I won't let that sway my review. Big portions and decently quick service. We were just kinda in and out and it was over. Like i said, the food and atmosphere were great, but for the price I'd pass. Glad we went but it's a "one and done" for me.

I ordered a Medium Rare steak and they brought me a well done. I ate half of it because I kept thinking that it would get pinker as I got to the middle. But no, it was well done and cooked all the way through. I felt like was eating some dry hamburger meat. I told the waiter and she brought me out another steak. The second steak was wrong again. It was cooked medium well. We also ordered mash potatoes on the side to share and it was pretty small serving. Barely enough to share between two people. The only good thing about this restaurant was the Drinks. We order dirty martinis which weren't bad. I will not be returning to this restaurant. For the price we paid, I'd much rather go to Mastros.

Disney always does it right! The end. Lol Seriously this place is incredible. It's located in the Disneyland hotel adjacent to Goofy's Kitchen. My husband and I frequent steakhouse 55 for special occasions and just because. Be sure to book a reservation and if you're a pass holder don't forget your discount can be applied here! During our most recent visit we ordered quite a bit a food! We weren't anywhere close to finishing what we ordered but it was the last fancy meal we had before our son was born last month :) Their bread and butter is exquisite. The bread is perfectly crunchy on the outside and wonderfully soft and warm on the inside ! It melts in your mouth and they keep it coming all night long if you like. Appetizers: we ordered the wedge salad and the lobster bisque. The salad was wonderful and a great size. The bisque was insanely delicious. I wish I could have an endless bowl of it! No fishy taste and nice big chunks of lobster!!!!mmmmmm!!!! I ordered the prime rib (well done- I know it's a crime to not order it medium rare but I was pregnant at the time) and it was still so delicious !!!! Each bite got drenched in au jus of course. My husband got the bone in rib eye which is one monster of a plate. I got a few bites of it and it was wonderful. Both dishes were served with the temperature and flavor just perfect!!!! Our sides : potato au gratin (heavenly!), garlic mash, creamed spinach and mushroom risotto. Each and everyone was delightful!!! Except for the spinach. It tasted average to me.... We literally savored every bite of this meal. Dessert- we'd experienced the 24 layer chocolate cake before so this time we tried their cheesecake. Both desserts are amazing and you can't go wrong ordering either one but if it's your first time dining here you have to try the 24 layer chocolate cake! The cheesecake was moist and flavorful. It was adorned with sugar candy and fresh berries and a raspberry sauce. We inhaled it along with a couple cups of coffee (decaf for me of course). It's always a wonderful experience dining here. The staff is amazing and kind. It's also always exciting to see which celebrity portrait you'll get seated by as well!

I ended up here for a bachelor party out of all random places, but who's one to interfere with men and their meat right? A huge plus is that you can use your annual pass here for a discount..MASSIVE savings! All in all the steaks at the table were cooked hit or miss. I decided on the New York Strip steak and had asked for medium rare, but honestly I think it had come out raw in some parts. Either way I was exhausted so just decided to chow down and leave my Disney tastic cares behind. The steak was flavored actually better then I honestly anticipated, but it fell flat to me because it felt dry. Medium rare should be nowhere near dry and I've never had one that wasn't juicy to some extent. I did partner it up with some mac n cheese (my usual) which had added cheese and bacon mixed around in there. I ended up loving that more then the steak so kudos on that one Chef Disney! For a disney dine it actually was a step above my initial impression, but to say I'd be inclined to return well then it'd truly be a small world after all.

After a long day of driving we were looking forward to our anniversary dinner at Steakhouse 55. Our reservations were made and we were seated promptly at our table. Ambience was very nice and Martin (our waiter) took good care of us. Many old pictures of Walt Disney himself with Hollywood royalty hang throughout the walls. Since this is on the Disneyland property the prices were pretty high and probably not quite worth it, but if you are there to be at the "happiest place on Earth" then it's just fine. I was a little surprised that at that time of night (9:30pm) there were some kids and even infants there. Maybe it's just me but spending that type of cash at a steakhouse you'd want to enjoy your evening and make it somewhat romantic. Dinner itself was plentiful and one critique was that we weren't informed of the size of the portions for side dishes. Our waiter (Martin) could have forewarned us that five side dishes may be a little much...oh well. Typically they are smaller since...well...they are side dishes. However we ordered five between the two of us and probably could have done with just two total. The mushrooms, asparagus, seasonal risotto, green beans and broccoli were all nearly bigger than our entrees. This would not be a big deal if we had a microwave in our room in order to take them with us and enjoy later, but obviously that wasn't the case. All were pretty tasty, just too much of it. My 8oz filet was done to perfection as was my wife's and tasted very good. We were delighted at the end when given a free chocolate mousse (in the shape of Mickey's head/ears of course) for our anniversary celebration. It was a nice touch for sure. Overall if this wasn't Disney oriented and just a typical steakhouse I'd have to say it was just that, a typical steakhouse. I'd recommend it but again looking for that special "wow" factor.

Hmm, I have to say I was expecting more for a prime steakhouse. I've eaten in some of the best steakhouses in the country, Bern's in Tampa, Peter Luger's in NY, Cut in LA, The Chicago Chop House, and while I didn't expect it to be near those, I was expecting the meat here to be in the Ruth's Chris, Flemings, Morton's category.....Alas I was disappointed. These are 3 star steaks at 4 star prices. And this review would have been 3 stars, other than management rolled out the red carpet for us and we had wonderful service all night. Disney hospitality was on display here, and that goes a very long way. Let's start with the good. The cocktails here are excellent. We warmed up with a couple of these great libations, many of which include Disney's fun glowing ice cubes. There are plenty of well thought out cocktails on the menu of both the sweet variety for the ladies, as well as the more masculine tangy versions. Joining some our closest yelp friends, Bob T. had pre arranged for us to have a private back room to ourselves, as well as a few appetizers and a wine tasting on the house. The wine tasting was very nicely done, as we were taken in groups of 4 to a glass enclosed room and given plenty of interesting information about each wine and which steaks they recommend pairing it with. They do offer plenty of choices by the glass, and when I tried and really liked a Ridge Zinfandel that paired perfectly with my steak, were happy to let me have it by the glass, even though it was listed as bottle only. The winner of the trio of appetizers was a prosciutto wrapped cheese filled date. It was very generous of them offer us the free appetizers. Also of note were the loaves of hot freshly baked sour dough bread, it was tough not to fill up on them. I shared an appetizer off the menu with the wife, Seared Scallops with Citrus Wasabi Soy Glaze and Scallion cream. They were perfectly cooked and a very nice presentation. 4 stars and I would order them again. yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… We tried both the soups, she had the Lobster Bisque, and I had the Seven Onion Soup. This wasn't even a close competition as the Seven Onion Soup blew the Lobster Bisque away. Not your traditional french onion as the cheese is a crunchy wafer of cheese on the bottom of the bowl on which the soup is poured. I loved the texture of the cheese with the soup. The onions had an excellent flavor to them and it was a wonderful fragrance as the soup was poured over them. 4.5 stars. The Lobster Bisque however was a very forgettable 2 stars. yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… So we were generally off to a great start, when my porterhouse steak arrived. I ordered it medium rare, but it was way more on the medium side, no red to it at all, just pink, and the outer edges fully cooked. But my problem was with the meat itself, I find it hard to believe it's prime. It was on the tough side and the texture of the beef was what you would expect at an Outback, including the filet side. Even in the finest of restaurants steak can vary from one steak to another. Perhaps I just didn't have Steakhouse 55's best that night. But my wife's Bone In Rib Eye wasn't any better; was also cooked medium rather than medium rare, and on the tough chewy side. I left with the impression that Disney needs to up their game and get a new beef supplier. 3 stars for the steak. yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… The sides were much better with the Chef's Potato Stack Au Gratin being like a thinly sliced potato and cheddar cheese lasagna. 5 stars. As good as they were, the 4 cheese bacon mac & cheese was every bit their equal and maybe even a little better. It's not wrong to order 2 cheesy starchy sides, so you have my permission. Also 5 stars. yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… Thanks to Bob T. for lining this up and thanks to Steakhouse 55 for making us feel welcome. In the end it was a wonderful evening with good friends during holiday time and that's way more important than a steak on a plate.
(4)Ron R.
I'm sorry but this place is by FAR the best fine dining restaurant at Disneyland! Are you kidding me!? Chimay on tap! God Bless this place! The seven onion soup is consistent from year to year and their steaks are always cooked to perfection. We are planning on skipping the other fine dining restaurants like Carthay and Napa but not this one! We'll be back:)
(5)Amanda Jean C.
Being a huge Disney fan, I have heard a lot about Steakhouse 55. Everyone has told me how amazing this place is. Although my experience was less than amazing. I went in with a party of 5 and none of us were impressed. 3 out of 5 of the steaks were cooked incorrectly. There was a bug in one of our salads. The green beans and broccoli were hard as rock. The only good dish was the garlic mashed potatoes. Also at the end of our meal our waitress gave us a huge stink to split the check between our parties. Even though we were one of the last tables left. In the end our experience was very disappointing. Not only from the food but from our waitress, which is very surprising for a Disney restaurant. Ill stick with Carthay Circle or Blue Bayou.
(2)David M.
Deeeee-licious. As far as Disney restaurants go, I would definitely rank this as my top pick -- even above Carthay and the Napa Rose. Steakhouse 55 presented an excellent mix of good, timely service; great food (and sizable portions, including the biggest crème brûlée I've ever seen; and a completely reasonable price that *includes* passholder discounts. I'll definitely be coming back here instead of hitting up the Napa Rose (which I would argue is Disney's *other* top-tier restaurant) in the future. While the Napa Rose might excel a wee bit on flavor combination (in that their meals are constructed a bit fancier than, well, a slab of steak), that doesn't detract at all from the deliciousness that is a meat + Steakhouse 55 butter combination. Yum yum yum. Now, if only people would dress a wee nicer for the place instead of coming in Tourist Gear...
(4)Albert P.
So lets start off with the ambiance, which is exactly what you would expect for a classy Disney location. Its very elegant, themed after the year Walt Disney opened the theme park, 1955 (hence the name, Steakhouse 55), and looks great. More suited for business or romantic occasions, I've still seen families go here for meals. The food is what kind of killed it for me. I came here with my girlfriend for our anniversary. We got the lobster bisque for appetizer which was actually really good. We also got side dishes, Garlic mashed potatoes (Delicious) and the Mac & Chees (meh). The meat is really where i was disappointed. Our steaks (Porterhouse Steak and New York Strip) were tough and hard to chew. The Porterhouse actually had different textures on either side of the T bone. One side was harder to chew then the other. I was MUCH happier with the quality of the meat and food at the Napa Rose restaurant. Maybe we had a bad batch of meat, considering the rest of the reviews all rave this place but for me, I don't think I will be trying this place for a long time.
(3)Janell H.
Excellent, well priced breakfast in an elegant setting. I really recommend starting your morning here, if you are an adult or group with older children. Young kids might seam out of place. Really enjoyed our server, Karen. She was so funny and on the spot with what we needed.
(4)Consuelo R.
Came here to celebrate my Birthday. I had a couple of Disney restaurants on my list but I decided to make reservations at Steakhouse 55. It was perfect and I was glad to celebrate my Birthday. The food and the service was amazing. So I did my reservations for 5:30PM, they were having some problems with the warm water so all reservations were being delayed. As we were waiting to be seated the service was excellent. They apologize for the inconvenience. I was very happy were we got seated. I'm a huge Marilyn Monroe fan and I was lucky that the hostess sat us in a private area with the picture of Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe behind us. The ambiance of the restaurant is classy, elegant, vintage, and Old 1950's Hollywood. Pictures of 1950's Hollywood stars dining adorn the walls of Steakhouse 55. The service of Steakhouse 55 was excellent!! We has two great waiters and very helpful. They even brought some extra Guava Sorbet to clear our palates. I'll start with the sourdough bread with butter which was so yummy. The Guava Sorbet, which was an extra was so good!!! Maybe one of the best sorbets I have ever had. I order the Free-Range Double Breast of Chicken, which was so flavorful and delicious. One of the top chickens I have ever had! For sides we order Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Sautéed Mushrooms with Madeira. Both were very good. I love eating mushrooms and these were very yummy. For dessert I had 24 Layer Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and Toffee Crumbs in mind. I had seen a show on the Food Network that showed how they would make this cake and since then it has been on my must try list. It was so good!! I'm a chocoholic and this cake was like Heaven in my mouth!! It's a must try!! Since it was my Birthday I got an extra Birthday cake shape as Mickey Mouse. It was all chocolate too and it was so yummy. I was very satisfied with Steakhouse 55 and I will defiantly be coming back when I come to Disneyland! I highly recommend this Disney Restaurant!
(5)Bob F.
Came here for a late breakfast today and loved it. I had the two times four and my wife had the eggs Benedict. My favorite part was the French toast. Thick and just the right about of egg. A great spot for breakfast at Disneyland!
(4)Caitlin I.
I made a reservation for wednesday it was my moms birthday. when we got there the hostess was very nice and asked us what we were celebrating and said she would let our server know. once we got seated the server assistant brought us bread and water. shortly after, our server oscar who was very good very attentive. my one down fall is given that the sides are extra the broccoli was a little bit cold and the steak was a bit tough but very very good. they brought my mom a complimentary mickey shaped dessert. all in all we had a very nice dinner and would go back again!
(4)Deborah A.
My new favorite restaurant at Disneyland! I loved the vintage/classic feeling of the restaurant! From the architecture to the pictured paintings; It definitely is another hidden gem at the Disneyland resort! Service is amazing, as is everything Disney related. David was really amazing and helpful in helping us narrow our choices. Because it was the OC Restaurant Week, I definitely wanted to hit this spot up! For our appetizers, we started off with the best crab cakes I've ever had. It was crunchy and flavorful! I couldn't stop drenching the crab cake with lemon! I didn't care too much for the sauce because I love lemon! The onion soup was too salty for my liking. If you like gorgonzola cheese, you'll love the dressing! For the main dishes, the prime rib is probably 2nd to Lawry's. Very flavorful and juicy. The filet mignon looked a little burnt on the outside but still melted on your mouth the way it should be. The side of green beans were very crunchy with garlic and the au gratin wasn't as memorable but it's better than Blue Bayou. The Yukon garlic mashed potatoes are amazing. I couldn't get enough of it! For dessert, the creme brûlée is the best. EVER. The top didn't make the nice tapping sound probably because I love lots of sugar, but the custard was divine and very vanilla-y. I came in with high expectations and came out with a happy, full stomach. Definitely will come back to try their other menu items!
(5)Morgan K.
Try their ribeye and mashed potatoes! Yummy! Right next to Goofy's Kitchen so drop off your kids and take your date next door!
(5)Richard And Elainne S.
We came here for my birthday dinner we both haven't been here before so we were excited to try it. The place is cute. When you first check in you have a seat in their lobby and wait for your name to be called to get seat. Our reservations were at 8 and we waited about 20mins until we got seated. At least while you wait you can grab a drink at the bar, which is what we did. I had some mix drink but it came with a suvenior cube that lights up. Drink wasn't bad, kinda sweet. Finally we get seated, the inside is dim and not too big. We ordered wine which wasn't bad. The complimentary bread was good. I had the filet medium rare which weirdly was a bit dry...but okay. The hubby got the new york strip medium well and he said "it could have been better". We also had the garlic mashed potatoes which were very whipped but okay and the green beans which were also okay. Everything was okay. The complimentary bday dessert was cute but beyond sweet. I thought it was a cake but it was like fudge. We ordered the cheesecake to go and that was pretty good but it was a teeny weeny slice for the price. Overall the food and experience was okay. I expected more though....
(3)Jeffrey D.
Excellent food and excellent service. We will be visiting Steakhouse 55 again. It's nice to see Disneyland Resorts taking a cue from their Florida counterparts. There are many wonderful restaurants at the Disneyworld Reorts, but Disneyland never seemed to have much in the fine dining category. Steakhouse 55 has stepped up Disneyland's cuisine, we will now look at staying on resort to eat now.
(5)Linda L.
The stars are for my meal. The food is solid. I would be willing to pay that much money for the food again. With that said. I was shocked and baffled by the service I received. We generally fine at the Napa Rose. The service there is excellent and they're very good about allergies. The staff is trained amazingly well. At the steakhouse 55, not so much. It took 3 requests to get a high chair. Every question or request was met with exasperation and out of breathness. My husbands birthday celebration was simply forgotten. My child's dairy allergy was met with a heavenly delicious risotto that was covered in cheese. Prior to ordering, I asked what side could be made dairy free and they said they could make the risotto without butter, thus making it dairy free. Our server behaved as if she wanted to get rid of us. I asked for a breakdown on the different cuts or meats and told her I wasn't familiar because I don't eat steaks often. Her response was a frustrated, well what do ya want ta eat?! It was so bad that when we exited the restaurant we both just looked at each other and started laughing simultaneously. It was absurdly bad. I must credit disney with this, their corporate customer service is amazing. I called, and I was very nice about it. I told them, look, I don't want to get anyone fired so I'm not going to tell you who it was. However, this was what our experience was like that evening. I think a training session for the staff is due. They were extremely cordial, they addressed my concerns, they tried to find out who my server was, they were apologetic and without me asking for anything, they offered a few front of the line passes.
(2)Jennifer D.
Can I give them 6 stars??? Seriously, the best food in Disneyland! All of the dishes were prepared so well... it beats the Club 33 food in my opinion. We love love loved every entree and side dish! It was like I had fell in love with steak all over again. The bone-in ribeye with their Steakhouse 55 rub was 18 oz. of juicy tender meat. The seasoning is amazing and I would order this again in a heartbeat. One of the best ribeyes that I have had. Everything is a-la-carte so for sides we shared the Chef's potato stack au gratin. This was so yummy... cheesy potato slices with cream. Nuff said. We also had the sauteed green beans with Applewood-smoked bacon. The green beans are still bright green and still crunchy just the way I like. The bacon bits add that extra savory goodness that turns a veggie dish into an indulgence. Great dish. For dessert I shared the 24 layer chocolate cake with my brother. This is a chocolate lover's dream come true. I don't really like chocolate cake but I definitely enjoyed this. It towers over the plate with repeating slivers of cake... I believe it was nutella and two other flavors repeating eight times. It was amaze. #totesamaze This restaurant makes you forget that you are in a theme park at all. This place is about the food and only the food. No character signings or monkey business here. Just a great steakhouse restaurant. Who cares about the park when you have steak!
(5)ShellyJane B.
Ate here on Valentine's day. Great service, great food. Try the 24 layer chocolate cake ! Was surprised we didn't spend as much as we thought and ordered drinks, appetizers, porterhouse, ribeye, sides & a dessert for $160. Not too shabby! :)
(4)Chad A.
Magic Way and Walnut at the Disneyland Hotel First things first your parking will be validated here no matter what. That being the case you may pull right up to valet for no extra charge here. You can stay up to 4 hours so you can always check out Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar after having dinner here! 3 Stars for breakfast here. It's good but not great and a little pricy. 5 Stars for dinner though because not only is the food delicious, but they offer many many discounts here. I would much rather come have a nice juicy steak here than Ruth's Chris' or Morton's also nearby any day! Dinner food is all served a la carte, but reasonably priced and they have a small 3 course tasting menu available. As far as the meat goes it's all great and prepared perfectly to your liking, but I would especially recommend their Bone-in Ribeye with a Peppercorn Sauce. I'm not a huge fan of creme brule, but they still serve a mean Tahitian Vanilla Bean Creme Brule. My favorite dessert they have though by a landslide is their 24 Layer Chocolate Cake. It's huge and delicious. Make sure you save room for this as it is not to be missed! Share it if you have to. I wish I had some right now!!! There is no dress code for this nice restaurant...after all you are at a theme park resort! The palate and decor inside is simple and classic with a slight tip of the hat to NY Style restaurants of days gone by. There are large black and white photos of Walt with various celebrities of his day on the walls and they rock a palate of like burgundy, gold, silver, dark wood, and cream. They have a full bar available here, but sport an extensive wine list for pairing if you'd like. Many people believe this Fine Dining restaurant is only for adults, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Since it's located at a resort children are almost expected! Service is cordial, but certainly not as attentive as one would like as there is a lot of competition at the resort as well as people's propensity to dine at the same times. They have booths and regular tables here, but there is also a private room that holds parties up to like 22 called the Oak Room. The place used to be called Granville's Steakhouse for Betty Granville, the wife of the original owner of this hotel, but was changed to Steakhouse 55 believed because that is the year Disneyland opened! Reservations by calling 714-781-DINE up to 60 days in advance
(5)Darren E.
The food was so so and the service was horrible. The service was good up until our salads arrived and went down after that. I think because the waitress had a couple of big parties and wanted to take care of them. Our two person tip was not as important as a big table. We waited 30 minutes for a togo box until we flagged someone else down. The food was ok, if it was an Outback Steakhouse, but not for this place at these prices. We won't be returning. What a shame.
(2)David R.
I've had the privilege of dining at Steakhouse 55 many times, and I'm almost always impressed with the quality of the food and the service. Unfortunately, on this trip I thought the food quality on a few items dropped down a peg, which is why my rating has dropped. Below are the items I ordered and my impressions: Appetizer: Seared Sea Scallops (2) - I'm a huge fan of scallops, and this appetizer didn't disappoint, but it wasn't perfect either. One of my scallops was slightly under done for my taste (the other was perfect), and the drizzle they used tasted a lot like over-the-counter teriyaki sauce. Good sear though, I thought this dish was mostly successful. 8/10 Pic: yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… Soup: Seven Onion Soup - I always order this soup and have always enjoyed it, until this time. I'm a huge fan of it's two-mode service (the bowl is delivered with garnish, and the soup is poured from a tureen into it table-ide), but in this case, the garnish was hard and difficult to chew - I think it sat out on the prep table for too long. Definitely a deal-killer. 5/10 Entreé: Broiled Lobster Tail - I don't always order a lobster tail when visiting a steak house, but this time I had a craving. A good sized portion (8-9oz) on this tail, but I thought it had a little too much connective tissue for my liking. Cooked properly, and nicely presented atop it's shell. 8.5/10 Pic: yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… Side: Potato Stack - This is far-and-away the best side dish offered at SH55. It's unique, delicious, and perfectly tender. Essentially a stack of scalloped potatoes layered with a béchamel-based cheese sauce, and covered in a brûlée of aged cheese. Simple. Delicious. Memorable. Bravo. 10/10 Pic: yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… Side: House Mac & Cheese with Bacon - As a rule, I've gotten away from ordering 'gourmet' mac and cheese dishes at fine dining locations because they almost always disappoint....and this proves why. Elbow macaroni over cheesy béchamel and topped with Nueske's smoked bacon. I thought this dish was exceedingly bland for mac and cheese. I'm also puzzled at why virtually all of the cheese sauce is left below the noodles. Is the diner expected to stir before serving? 6/10 Pic: yelp.com/biz_photos/stea… All-in-all the experience was an acceptable one, but only just. Here's hoping the Soup is back to normal on my next visit and the mac & cheese is well-tossed before service.
(4)Emily B.
We really enjoyed this restaurant for breakfast yesterday. It was reasonably priced and delicious. It was also quiet and served a great cup of coffee and Bloody Mary. I had the chorizo breakfast burrito and it was wonderful and my hubs had the French toast which he really enjoyed as we'll. We will return. It was a little boring for the kids but there was a kids menu with crayons so that helped. The staff was polite, attentive and seemed happy to be there.
(5)Eric B.
I've been coming here since it was Granville's and I'm still as pleased as I was the first time. The decor and atmosphere is classic American. I'm not talking about some kitschy type thing. The vibe is tasteful and classy. Just what you want in an steakhouse. I absolutely love all the pics of old Hollywood that surround the restaurant. Finally, the room is set up in such a manner as to facilitate an intimate, private dinner. Food: My preferred steak here is the ribeye, but I used to get the NY and would still recommend it. The ribeye has an interesting rub that the NY doesn't seem to have. The filet is always a winner as well. I want to note that the cooks are very consistent with rareness requests. I typically ask for medium or medium rare, while my father (my usual guest) requests medium well. Neither of us have ever been strongly displeased. Hands down, the best side is the au gratin stack. Also, If you can get the honey gazed Brussels sprouts you will enjoy them immensely. If not, the asparagus w/ hollandaise is a sure winner (tip: get extra hollandaise for your bread). Lastly, in regards to starters, I always get the seven onion soup and would swear by it. The salads are fine, as are the crab cakes and scallops. The bread really is amazing as others have mentioned. That might seem trivial, but I am a bread-head, and appreciate fine bread like some might dig on fine wine. Drinks: the bartenders in the lounge (like Rudy) are a great hidden gems in Disneyland. These old guys are pros to the core: charming, fast, and consistent. Do yourself a favor and get there early to get a cocktail before dinner. The wine selection seems good, and every server has been awesome with helping me pick out a wine. I've never gotten a snooty condescending tone...even when I ask a foolish question about a wine (which I do quite often). Service: What can you say? Disney doesn't hire light foots or amateurs. That's partially why I've seen a set of waiters there for upwards of ten years (David is especially awesome btw).

You can find the restaurant in the lobby of the Disneyland Hotel. The maitre-d podium is to the right of the entrance to Goofy's kitchen. This oft forgotten restaurant is a great place to have breakfast on busy days and a great dinner option if you want to escape the bustling of the parks and Downtown Disney. The decorum of this establishment conjures up imagery of a time past, the time of a shirt and jacket for dinner. The time of Walt Disney himself. The standout menu items are the steaks, whether paired with eggs for breakfast or with a vegetable and a starch for supper. The chef uses the same rub on their steaks as the ones you'll find in the Blue Bayou, black pepper derived, but the cuts seem to get a little more love and attention here. The house offers an extensive wine list that can be paired with any of the entrees of your liking. Overall, an excellent "grown up" choice out of your many Disney dining options.Take a quick gander at the large black & white photos of Walt as you're lead to your table. The man had swagg. So does this restaurant.

I would have given this place 5 stars but couldn't since I really didn't order an entrée. I had the Spring green salad and the Lobster bisque, my husband had the Bone-in Ribeye. Everything was delicious. My salad was so light yet had the perfect amount of sweetness from the fresh raspberries and caramelized walnuts. The Raspberry Vinaigrette had fresh muddled raspberries and was a perfect combo. Lobster bisque was OK. I was not a fan of the tomato pieces it had in the soup. If you order it tell them NO TOMATOES!!! Not bad a bad soup, but definitely have had better. My husbands Ribeye was perfect! I should have ordered one for myself. Cooked medium rare, it was like butter in your mouth. Not tough and just the right amount of spices. He also had the scallops but I did not part take so I can't comment, but I can say he ate the entire thing. Definitely will come back here and have an entire meal to myself!

Worst steak I've ever had at a nice restaurant. Probably picked it up at walmart. I had the porterhouse and my wife had the filet. Both were cooked perfectly but remained tough, a general lack of flavor, and clearly a select or lower grade of steak. There is no way these were prime or even choice steaks. It wouldn't have been a major problem if the steaks weren't 43 dollars each... Paid that much for a phenomenal steak at Ken Rathbun's in Atlanta and the same at Bohanan's in San Antonio (I could go on and on). This place doesn't deserve to be called a steakhouse. All that being said. The rest of my meal was fabulous. Our service was good, lobster bisque was perfect and our sides were delicious. The wine we picked worked very well for us as well. Unfortunately, I was there for steak. Won't be back.

Sadly, the menu changes, the service and the inconsistent food has really made this out last trip here. We were so disappointed in our food tonight. The rib eye was ice cold and must have been left out for 30 minutes, which makes sense because our entrees took about an hour to come out. The lobster bisque had a great poured at table-side presentation, but tasted like the chef also poured the entire contents of a mortons salt container into it, as well. We ordered a couple of $9 baked potatoes which arrived cold and rock hard, as if they had been baked two days ago and left in the kitchen uncovered the entire time. When we inquired of our server about the condition of the potatoes he insisted they were baked to order! Impossible and inedible. The medium prime rib was served blue rare. We never saw the waiter come back to check on us and finally towards the end of the meal the busser offered to take the plate with the entire cut of meat and when told it was too rare, he simply said: so you don't want it? And removed the plate. All in all an almost 300 dollar meal that no one really enjoyed with food that doesn't even come close to what it once was. So very disappointed.

This may be the only steakhouse I give a 5 star review. As a vegetarian, they aren't places I usually frequent. I came here with my family of 5 for breakfast at the recommendation of the woman at the front desk of Disneyland Hotel. While Goofy's Kitchen was really crowded, this restaurant was quiet and peaceful and elegant. A perfect start to our day at Disneyland. I ordered the eggs benedict, vegetarian style, and it was cooked to perfection. Great service too- the sweetest little old ladies you ever did see. Plenty of Disney magic in this place and we will definitely eat here again on our next stay at this hotel.
(5)Bill Y.
I have stayed at the Disneyland Hotel numerous times and have seen this restaurant but have never dined here until now. Slapping myself for all the missed opportunities. This was quite possibly one of the best steaks I have ever had. The restaurant is elegant, quiet, and takes you away from the frenzy of Disney. Service is impeccable, and every dish was amazing. Sounds unusual, but the fried spinach was incredible. Simply melts in your mouth. The bone-in rib eye was to die for. Take my advice... if you're staying on Disney property, take one night and escape the madness by having a meal at Steakhouse 55. You won't regret it.

My husband and I dined at Steakhouse 55 on April 20th, 2012. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary. We had reservations that we arrived quite a bit early for, and staff was able to seat us rather quickly. Steakhouse 55 is decorated beautifully with black and white images from Hollywood... It is dark and classy, without no cartoon mouse heads to be seen!! Absolutely perfect for a romantic dinner. David was our main server and he was exceptional. We both had questions about the menu and he was able to answer them all with ease. Based on his recommendations we decided to start out with a charcuterie platter and also share the Steakhouse Salad. The charcuterie board was delightful with deliciously stinky cheeses, salty cured meats and the cutest little pickles I have ever seen. The salad was even better, with a delicious mix of greens and very tasty cheddar cheese. For our main course, my husband went with the free-range chicken and I had the filet. Sides are a-la-carte, so we decieded to share the potato stack au gratin as well as the sauteed green beans. I am picky about green beans, they have to have a bit of a snap to them for me to enjoy them, and these sure did. The Applewood-smoked bacon that topped these made a good side dish a great side dish. Both of our meats with cooked perfectly. My husband raved out his chicken and my steak was divine. I was absolutely stuffed at this point.. but then David came out with a surprise dessert for me in celebration of our anniversary... It was a simple chocolate mousse, with adorable mouse head shaped sprinkles. The ONLY reminder of the entire evening that we were at an amusement park. Impeccable service, delicious food, romantic atmosphere... Steakhouse 55 helped us make our 10 year anniversary a memorable one in the best possible way. HIGHLY recommended.

I'm going to keep this short and simple: If you're expecting to come here for a good steak and side dishes, GO.ELSEWHERE. Go to a real steakhouse that won't disappoint you. For a happy Disney experience, the food here is just whatever. Go get a warm, yummy clam chowder bowl instead. Finish it off with a churro. Any place else beats this place. Service: Just okay. Waitress at the lounge was prompt and funny. However our waitress at the dining table forgot our side dish orders, was slow to refill drinks, and brought out many of our steak entrees when it had turned cold. Surprising, it was Saturday night--- they should've done better. Food: Lacking. Many of my friend's Rib-Eye entrees arrived to the table already cold. Presentation was bland and lacking. Meat was cold, however it was pink in the middle just as "medium rare" should be. But whatever, any steak that comes cold to my table just gets a thumbs down. Side dishes weren't memorable either. We ordered practically every side dish: broccoli, potatoes au gratin, mac n cheese (which our waitress forgot about), creamed spinach (meh, how can you mess this up?) risotto (buttered but bland), and mashed potatoes (I've had boxed mash better than that). For the entree, my filet mignon was decent. Try the filet of all things. I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars. Besides that, nothing memorable about the food whatsoever, besides that it came out cold. Bonus: Free five hour valet parking. Thats 'bout it. Final tip: Come here with lowered expectations if you're looking for steak. Outback Steakhouse could've done better. At least they had the Bloomin Onion and the Outback Special.

Ate here twice during a recent trip to Disneyland. On our first day there, we made a reservation for this restaurant for the next day. We made the reservations in person at the restaurant, and the process was fairly straightforward (they do take a deposit, so make sure you show up!). We wanted to make sure we could eat here, as we like to do at least one "fine dining" experience during out DLand trips, and Napa Rose was closed for renovations. We were asked if we are celebrating anything, and we told them we were here for our wedding anniversary. As far as the meal itself, I ordered the Filet Mignon, my wife ordered Prime Rib. For appetizer we shared the scallops. Very good as advertised, but not quite as good as the ones from Napa Rose we had last year. The steaks were okay, definitely upper-tier but not spectacular. Not the best steak I've ever had. The highlight of the meal was the side and dessert. We shared saute'd green beans with bacon, and those were really delicious. We shared a slice of cheesecake for desert and wow that was REALLY delicious. A very solid, filling meal. The service was polite and professional, if a bit on the slower side. I was a bit disappointed we didn't get anything for our anniversary, I was wondering why they'd ask that during the reservation (more on this later). We enjoyed our meal enough that we decided to go back the very next night for dinner. I'm not decadent enough to have steak two nights in a row, so my wife and I both ordered fish. No appetizer this time. My wife ordered the catch of the day, which turned out to be Red Snapper. I had the Salmon. The fish was surprisingly delicious for a steakhouse. My wife's Red Snapper was especially tasty, I was a tad jealous, though my salmon was no slouch either. For a side we shared the mashed potatoes, which were good. We liked the cheesecake from the night before so much we ordered it again, which turned out to be a mistake because... this time we were wearing our Celebrating Anniversary badges, and our server surprised us with a complementary chocolate cake! Due to the cheesecake we couldn't finish both, but man the cake was so delicious and decadent! The service overall was a bit superior on our second night as well, much more attentive and quick. Now, I haven't gotten to my personal favorite aspect of this restaurant. The ambiance! It's a smaller restaurant, more intimate environment. Very dark, with pictures of Mr. Walt Disney himself and other luminaries on the walls. The environment might not be for everyone, but I really liked it. In the future, we intend to do 1 meal at Napa Rose and 1 meal here (if we can get reservations of course!)
(4)Fawn D.
Let's start at the beginning. Reservations 1) Phone reservations suck. We called in and got the reservations that we wanted at 6:30pm. 2) Called to confirm our reservations at 6:30pm and was told that we had none. Note: Disney reps need to take down your credit card number to reserve your spot. 3) Got there and was seated within 5 minutes of reservations. Note: They only have 4 booths so make sure you tell them your seating preferences. Food: 1) Complimentary loaf of sourdough bread and house churned butter. YUMMY!!! 2) Seven onion soup with Parmesan cheese crisps - OK if you like onion soup. 3) Filet Mignon for me and Bone-in Rib Eye for my boyfriend. Filet Mignon was way too dry and salty. Rib Eye was delicious but not up to par with Maestro's. Yes, we are spoiled. 4) Potatoes au gratin was the STAR of the show! We loved it and wished we ordered 1 serving for each of us. I am totally craving it now! 5) 24 layer cake - I wasn't awed by it and would definitely not consider it bucket list worthy. I'm sorry but I had better chocolate cakes. Plus, even though it was our anniversary, this cake was not complimentary nor did they bring us an additional cake. I wished they would've asked us if we wanted to get the 24 layer cake or get a complimentary anniversary dessert. All they did was add the Happy Anniversary chocolate topper and candle to it and still charged us for it. Rude! Service: It was average - not too slow and not too quick. Dress Code: It's disney so people were wearing their mickey ears. Just dress in a nice t-shirt and jeans and you'll be fine. Nothing too fancy.

Look, there's nothing bad or wrong about this place. Service was adequate and friendly. Food was good. But it was not great. We spent $100 per person without alcohol but with apps and desserts including tip. There are just lots of better $100/head places to get a steak. My ribeye was medium, not medium rare, and you could just tell it wasn't a premium cut. Better than Applebee's, sure... But not high end steakhouse good. I suppose it's in line with all of Disney: dressed up to look great but really it's not as good as the image they project. If you're at the hotel, go ahead and try it out... But I wouldn't go out of my way to get there. Free valet parking though is nice.
(3)Melinda S.
I normally don't give 5 stars for restaurants because I'm so picky about my food and service, but this place was awesome We made reservations a week or so in advance for our anniversary. We arrived about 30 minutes before our time and sat in the lounge. 5 minutes later they called us back. The atmosphere and decor is cool. It's a lot of vintage Disney with pictures of Walt and other key Disney people on the walls. Our waiter was DJ and he was great! We ordered the Prix Fixe (I think that's how it was spelled) which consisted of a flank steak, fries and veggies. I'm not supposed to eat fries and asked if that could be substituted. Unfortunately because it's the "fixed" menu, no subs, but we did order a side of the risotto. DJ said it was big enough for 2 people so we just ordered one. Once we got it it was actually big enough for at least 3, maybe 4 people. Very tasty though! The flank steak was the BEST flank steak I've had. Cooked perfect medium rare and just had awesome flavor! Since we ordered the fixed menu it came with a dessert, creme brulee, which is my absolute favorite. It was soooooo good. A lot of creme brulees I've had put too much sugar on top and it's hard to break through. This had a perfect thin layer. We were wearing our Happy Anniversary buttons we got in the park and our waiter surprised us with a chocolate mousse type of dessert - even though we already had the creme brulees! The chocolate itself was extremely rich and hard to eat by itself, however if you take a little bit of the chocolate and a little bit of the creme brulee together, it's PERFECT!!!! I can't wait to go back!
(5)Gabriel F.
This place has all the things you look for in a classy steak house, but with disney charm. Great attentive service, romantic/dark ambiance, and delicious food. All the food is a la carte which can get pricey real quick, but if you have been to places like ruths Chris or Mortans then you should know what to expect.
(4)Wendy S.
I'll make this brief. Table of 5, all sat promptly by courteous hostess. Took a bit of work to get water and we ordered 2 glasses of wine but the other 3 people didn't get a chance to place their drink orders (all too young to drink alcohol). We ordered various entrees. My new york strip was not medium rare but more like medium well and it was not tender and not worth $38. My baked potato was undercooked and hard and not worth $8. I won't get into the other entrees but suffice it to say that we were all underwhelmed and overcharged and I won't be back. Service was acceptable but not outstanding.
(2)Frances T.
I found Steakhouse 55 when a cast member on the Disney Dining line recommended it in lieu of The Blue Bayou. The first time I went was on my first anniversary. I had salmon and my husband had lamb. The couple both got the filet mignon. All of the food was delicious and beautifully presented. You pay for the sides separately, but the portions are generous. The onion soup was quite good. The ambiance and service were my favorite part, though. It has an old Hollywood feel and not only is the food plated beautifully, they present it to you with special flourishes. Between the four of us at our table, we were celebrating 2 anniversaries and a birthday and the brought us 3 personalized desserts for free. It was a very nice touch.
(5)Ramona E.
Usually the BF and I steer away from steakhouses since we always feel disappointed after spending the money on something we could make better at home. Thankfully Steakhouse 55 didn't disappoint! I am so glad we stumbled upon this gem in the Disneyland area. The service was on point, (a bit Disney-ish in feel but hey, I kinda expected that). Our water was never empty, which in our books is a huge plus. The only downside is that some of the tables are seated too close to other parties. Its always awkward for me to be eating right on top of someone else but we lucked out and the table next to us was pretty quiet. OK, now on to the food. I am ALL about prime rib. If it's on the menu I will order it! Now that's not to say I don't know the difference between good and blehhhh prime rib. I do. OHHH I do. So of course I had to order the prime rib. It comes with a side of horseradish and a small ramekin of as jus (but if you ask they can pour the remainder of the sauce on top too!). This was good prime rib. I usually order everything medium rare however, i find that with prim rib, medium seems to work out best. My dish was cooked perfectly! the side of horseradish was a perfect balance of cream and kick! The sides are set up family style. which I'm not the biggest fan of but eh, whatevs. I ordered the mashed potatoes and he got the four cheese mac and cheese with bacon. The mashed potatoes we beautiful. they had everything i look for in a good mashed potato. They still had little bits of the skin. Even though they we quite creamy there were still those little chunks of un-mashed delight left in. And the garlic! Oh the garlic! If you don't like garlic you might want to order something else because every fork-full was a symphony of garlic splendor in my mouth! The mac and cheese didn't disappoint either. It was rich, creamy and not overpowered by the bits of perfectly proportioned bacon. Now I will admit that I'm not the biggest fan of rib eyes. I have eaten one too many bad steaks and I have pretty much came to the conclusion that i just don't need them in my life. With that being said every time there is rib eye on the menu the BF always orders it. He also orders his steaks medium well (which for me is a travesty but hey to each his own). With that being said, in my opinion, this poor little rib eye was doomed for my taste bud failure from the beginning. OHHH what a surprise ladies and gentleman! Order the rib eye! It was great! Done perfectly well and everything a good steak should be! Creme brulee. I love creme brulee. I love their creme brulee. The custard was a perfect thickness. The burnt sugar was comprised of large granuales and I was a bit skeptical but the first bite set me in my place. Perfection. All in all, if you are in the Disneyland area. Eat here. Eat here now!

Steakhouse 55 is located in the Disneyland Hotel, right next to Goofy's Kitchen. It is a bit pricey, but what do you expect....it's Disneyland :) But Disney alwaaaays delivers. We waited for about 20 minutes (it was a busy night) before we were seated. My boyfriend and I were immediately greeted by our server. She was very knowledgable about all the specials and menu items. We ended up both ordering the Prime Rib. Perfectly cooked. Great Au Jus. An overall great night. Nice staff. Good ambiance. Our drinks NEVER hit the half way point.

The extended dining experience is a pastime my friends and I love to partake in every now and again...a meal served slowly and eaten slowly over delicious food and good conversation. Although Disneyland isn't necessarily the most likely place to find such an opportunity, Steakhouse 55 can deliver, much to the satisfaction of my friends and I. We came here on a Friday night (with a reservation we made day-of), and enjoyed ourselves from start to finish. We were seated promptly in a dimly-lit dining room full of the dark wood and cushy seating you expect from any high-end steakhouse. We were seated in a cozy little corner, and our friendly waitress came right over to take our drink orders and explain the menu. Her service throughout our meal wasn't stellar, but she was attentive enough that I can't complain too much. Their wine list is pretty good...they've got a great list of bottles, but their by-the-glass wines leave a little to be desired. Nonetheless, the MacMurray Pinot Noir I ordered turned out to be very good, as did my friends' Riesling and Provenance Merlot. Also, they bring out the actual bottles of wine and pour your glass in front of you, which I like a lot. For dinner, I started with the Baby Spinach salad with warm applewood smoked bacon vinaigrette, which proves my theory that EVERYTHING is in fact better with bacon in it...even spinach! The vinagrette was warm and there were little chunks of bacon in it, all of which was drizzled over baby spinach...yum. YUM. My friends had the "Steakhouse 55" Seven Onion Soup, which they also said was great. It's the kind of soup where they bring you the bowl and all it has in it is the cheese, etc., and then they pour the soup over it in front of you...THAT'S how you know it's good :) For our entrees, we all had the 10 oz. filet mignon. Sides are ala carte, so we orderd the sauteed green beans, which were also smothered with applewood-smoked bacon (which ALSO made them amazing!), and a 3-cheese macaroni and cheese that was a special, and...wait for it, wait for it...ALSO had applewood-smoked bacon in it! It was soooooo excellent...in my top 3 favorite mac n' cheeses of all time, for sure :) The steak itself was super yummy...nothing out of the ordinary for a steakhouse, but "nothing out of the ordinary" for a quality steakhouse = DELECTABLE when compared to my everyday meal...I savored every bite, which I had paired with the Peppercorn Demi sauce. Suffice it to say, my friends had equally delightful experiences with their steaks. For dessert, I ordered the vanilla bean crème brûlée, which was yummy but pretty standard as far as crème brûlée goes. What was fun about the desserts was that they all came with these yummy, fruity spun sugar curls...such a fun treat!! I also ordered a glass of the Graham's 20 Year Tawny Port, which was DELIGHTFUL...I appreciated that our waitress filled my glass to near-overflowing. All in all, I loved every bite...it was the PERFECT ending to what was otherwise a rather long and arduous week...let's just say I felt like I deserved a fabulous meal, and fabulous it was! Didn't hurt that one of my friends works at Disneyland and got us a 20% discount, too :)

This review is for breakfast only. This place is an amazing alternative to the mediocre theme park food and Goofy's kitchen next door. We arrived early and got seated quicky, our coffee orders were taken and brought out before we had a chance to look at the menus. Since I am a creature of habit, this was our second visit to Steakhouse 55, I once again ordered the steak and eggs. They were delish!! Just thinking about it now makes my mouth water. The decor is awesome! The restaurant is super clean, and the servers are attentive. Can't wait to go back for dinner.
(4)San D C.
Are you into old school steakhouses near the happiest place on earth? Then you should definitely go here! Prices, of course are kind of expensive but you're at a steakhouse so it's going to be expensive. The person that made me my cocktail needs a little more experience, but the food is ALWAYS delicious! The steaks are great, but the dessert is AWESOME!!! If I could, I would eat here all the time! So far, I have eaten there for the past two birthdays and I shall probably do it again this year. I will probably skip the salad and just go straight for my favorite creme brulee!!
(5)Zig Z.
Went on St Patrick's Day. Had the Filet and it was cooked just right. However, it needed a little more seasoning. Had a taste of my son's NY and the seasoning was much better. Had the sauteed spinach and broccoli for sides. The spinach was just alright. For dessert, baked alaska and the chocolate cake. I preferred the baked alaska. Overall, a pleasant dining experience. But I went to the Winery the night before so it's hard not to compare. I would rather go to the Winery.
(4)Nathan R.
I went here for my birthday with some friends. Not only was the food excellent, but the service was incredible. I've been here several times in the past. While I've had many waiters at Steakhouse 55, Nick is clearly the best. He did a great job at treating us as individuals and even took us wine tasting in the cellar. That was a big part of our amazing experience. Our food was incredible. I had the bone-in rib eye (medium rare). One person in our group ordered the salmon. I didn't expect the salmon to be great at a steakhouse, but it was one of the best salmon dishes I've tasted. You also can't go wrong with the prime rib. Personally, I think the rib eye is the best thing on the menu. This is a pricey restaurant. My rib eye steak alone was about $35. I also had a really good asparagus side dish which was $7. A salad to start off with was about $8. For dessert, try the Bonita Velvet Chocolate Bar. It's like a combination of a brownie and chocolate mousse. It has a light consistency and goes great with red wine. Steakhouse 55 is located inside the Disneyland Hotel. Therefore, you may experience loud children in what is generally a quiet restaurant. Personally, I've only seen this happen a couple times. Kids were not a problem this time around. I think this is because we got there at a later time. As for attire, you don't need to dress up. It's Disneyland and they understand that a lot of their guests come straight from the parks. If you visit Steakhouse 55, you will spend a lot of money for great food and incredible service (if you have Nick as your waiter). Be sure to make advanced reservations by calling 714-781-DINE.

My girlfriend and I ate here for our 2 year anniversary to try something new and special. First off, the atmosphere was quiet and had very little Disney decorations (there was a photo of Walt when we walked in). One problem was our table was oriented so that we had to sit pretty far apart from each other. The waiter and staff always kept our water glasses full and were constantly checking on us. Before our entrees, they brought a large, freshly baked (still warm!) loaf of sourdough bread (my girlfriend actually asked for another loaf towards the end of our meal and we were brought another fresh loaf straight from the oven to take home!). We had to be careful to pace ourselves before the steaks. She had the dry aged bone-in New York strip and I had the bone-in rib eye. They were perfectly cooked to order and seasoned but my girlfriend preferred my rib eye over the strip. With the steaks, she got the macaroni and cheese and I got the potatoes au gratin. The potatoes were great -very cheesy and perfectly cooked. The mac and cheese, however, is definitely an acquired taste for us. The texture of the cheese was something we were not used to and even the waiter said it took him 3 tries to like it. We told him and he had no problem trading it out for another stack of potatoes! We asked the waiter what kind of wine would go well with our food so instead of listing them off to us, he brought us back to the wine cellar to try a few (the manager even let us try some of the high priced wines!!!). For dessert, we opted for the 24 layer cake (of course!) and it was served with toffee bits and a scoop of vanilla ice cream! We were amazed that they were able to pack so many layers of cake with chocolate icing and nutella in between... amazing and delicious! We gave it four stars partly due to the price (110 bucks for two of us after the annual pass discount) and we were disappointed with the macaroni and cheese after a few weeks of anticipation. It was a nice and relaxing place to go and eat a proper and delicious dinner after the chaos of the parks. We will definitely go back for another special occasion.

Class act! Despite being dead center in "Tourist-land" with many patrons who are dressed accordingly along with hyper children who have been overdosed with adrenaline from the Disney Magic visual stimuli, Steakhouse 55 does it right. Extremely polite and attentive wait staff in a setting which harkens back to Hollywood's glamorous 30s/40s. The groaning menu has a wide selection but as the name of the establishment implies, the steaks are their trademark and well deserved. Very flavorful meals with large portions. The sourdough bread is as tasty as you can find and the iceberg wedge salad - YIKES, it was yummy. Super wine selection either by the glass or bottle. We recommend you ask for a booth when you make your reservation. It will offer a bit more privacy, allow for people watching and somewhat reduce the noise from the background sound.

We decided to go to the Steakhouse because we had eaten there a year ago and the food was good as well as the service. The food was still decent, but the service was not so good, We order iced tea, which the waitress forgot about, she finally remembers, goes back in the kitchen and we hear a crash. When she came back out, she said that was her, she dropped out glasses! We ordered salads, filets (that was the smallest steak, I like rib eye better, but the smallest rib eye was 18 ounces! Waaay too much for me) and green beans and mashed potatoes for sides. My dining companion asked if medium there was still pink in the middle, and the waitress says yes. They bring our plates, mine is fine, His steak is charred within an inch of its life, and I knew it wasn't good. He cuts into it, and looks at me and says, its not medium is it. I said no, we show the waitress, she brings it back to the kitchen. Nobody else got served their dinner during the time they brought ours out, so I don't think we got somebody else's steak. Meanwhile my steak is getting cold, the sides are getting cold. They bring out another steak, he cuts into it its rare! He hates rare meat more than well done! I can eat rare meat, so I just traded steaks with him. I had ordered medium rare and mine was fine. I would have preferred medium rare, but at this point, I don't want to wait anymore, and everything was getting cold. They send the manager over, he apologizes and asks if everything is ok, and I told him no, the second steak came out wrong, but we traded. The look on his face was priceless and he says he's going to go talk to the kitchen. This is a steakhouse, there are 3 different cuts of steak on the menu, 1 fish, 1 chicken. If this is your job, you should know how to cook them.! Give me a break! That second steak should have had everyone hovering over it in the kitchen making sure it was perfect! Sides were good, but nothing spectacular. They are very large sides, I think we could have been fine with one. They give us dessert on the house (why do managers thing a freebie dessert will make your ruined experience better) got creme brulee which was just ok, it did come with some cookies that were good, held up in a spun sugar circle. Also got a fruit tart, pear and berry. The fruit was good, the tart part was a thick circle of dough that the fruit was placed inside of and the sides brought up around it. Not a big fan of the dough, it was too thick for me. The waitress did keep apologizing which was nice, I think she was worried about her tip, but it wasn't her fault the kitchen messed up.

We had dinner at the Steakhouse 55 this week. Server and service in general was very good. Food was disappointing. We got Calamari and it was obviously frozen not fresh, it was all stuck together and very greasy. More appropriate for happy hour at a bar. I had filet and tasted more like flank steak, it was not tasty at all and poor meat quality. For the price you can get much better food in downtown Disney.

Okay this place is top notch i was there on 3/13/12 for my anniversary... this place is too good for only 5 stars...food so good... they won't cook the steak more than medium well. Price are not that bad at all, dinner for two was under $120. Decor is nice old school pictures of celebs, dim light and soft music playing. I got the 20oz porterhouse steak which was to die for my girl got the filet mignon 8oz both steak tender and flavorful. The side dishes are more than enough to share so getting two sides and sharing makes tons of sense. location is nice valet parking free for first 5hrs its away from the noise and busy downtown disney eventho its right next to it. great place to take a date, its every welcoming and personal. staff is nice and on top of everything. a must do!!! i'll be making plans to go again soon.

I had the filet mignon, while it was a little rarer than I expected, it was so good, perfectly seasoned. Someone else in our party thought his steak was overcooked (the cow wasn't breathing anymore), and the waitress insisted she take the steak back and make him a new one. Disney is known for their excellent guest service, but it seems like the higher end places at the resort take it more serious.

My partner and I decided to try Steakhouse 55, located in the Disneyland Hotel, after reading some of the reviews on here and another website known for its reviews. We had dinner and were both incredibly disappointed. The ambiance/atmosphere was nice, but that's where it ends. We had a very pretentious waiter, or should I say, "order taker" as the only thing he did was take our orders and returned when we notified the server something was amiss. For starters, my partner had the Steakhouse Salad, which he stated was the best part of the entire meal. I had the Seven Onion Soup, which was good, though served in a bowl that was at least 14" in diameter and only filled the bottom 1/4 to 1/3 of the bowl. We both ordered the bone-in rib eye cooked "medium" with one vegetable. My partner received both his steak and vegetable; I received my vegetable. When we notified the server, she summoned the waiter, who looked into the matter. Apparently, he neglected to submit the order for my steak, though he had written it down. He took away the food that had been delivered and 5-10 minutes later the server brought us our complete order. We suspect I received the steak my partner had previously received (that had been re-heated) and we each received the same servings of vegetables that had also been re-heated (my partner's green beans had become wrinkled). The steaks were rather dry, not well marbled and for me at least, somewhat chewy (I guess because I received the re-heated steak). The vegetables were okay/fine. We were comped for the vegetables. In summary, this restaurant is trying to be something it isn't: a high-end steak house/restaurant. Just because the prices are high doesn't make it high-end. But it certainly doesn't lack pretension. The Blue Bayou is a better value with better food for almost the same price.

One of my favorite steakhouses. Be sure to get one a salad with the homemade dressings. They are amazing. Best Caesar salad anywhere.

For NYE my husband and I wanted to have a nice dinner. Having been to Steakhouse 55 on two other occasions I thought it would be a wonderful place for our New Years meal. We invited two friends to join us. Our meal was $173 thats with my 15% discount for being an annual pass holder to Disneyland park. We had 3 steaks which were just ok. The friend who ordered the rarest cooked fillet had to wait longer then the rest of us to receive her entree. Which I found very odd. We all ordered either a soup or salad. I had ordered the crab cakes as my meal and they also were just mediocre. My husband did love his potato side dish, but my macaroni and cheese was just too oily for my taste. The waiter we had was not all there. I have no idea what was going on with him that evening but tables all around us were being waited on fast and more efficiently then ours. I got so fed up about I decided to speak with the manager who just smile and nodded all condescending like "so what". Not that I could do much about it, except leave a bad tip. Like in another review posted earlier this year. Ruth Chris & Mortons are right down the road, so I believe if we want to have another $200 meal we will visiting them instead. Really disappointed in my New Years meal hopefully that isn't a signal how the rest of the year will go.

This place was great, the ambiance was quiet despite being child friendly, the service was impeccable and nothing more can be said about the food, we had the potatoes Au gratin which were AWESOME! My wife ordered the prime rib well done, it was big and very tasty. She had to order it that way since she is pregnant. I ordered the porterhouse which was one of the top 3 steaks I have ever eaten in my LIFE!!!! It cooked rare and perfect. The chef even came out to see how our cuts of meat were and he deserved his gratitude. I swear Disney does NOT disappoint ever!!!
(5)Jonathan C.
Good: Deletable crab cakes: small but a perfect ration of bread and crab. Filet Mignon is delicious. The freshly baked sourdough bread is delicious; it almost made the meal. The service is what makes Disney famous for. Bad: Wish they had more dessert options but all of the Disneyland Resort is out there (Dole Whip, churros, beignets, or ice cream from Gibson Girl anyone?). Great 50s art deco atmosphere especially if a fan of the era and Walt Disney. A nice, quiet place to dine at the Disneyland Resort. Final: If you have time at the Disneyland Resort for a great steak dinner, this is the place to go.

This was my first time here, and I will definitely be back. We made our reservations for a party of 3, the day of, and had no problems whatsoever. The decor is classy and beautiful. The service was fantastic, as was the food. We all had the "Prixe Fixe Menu." Basically, you get a Caesar salad, a mini steak, and an apple/peach cobbler pie a la mode; all for $30. Yes, they had pricier and fancier fare available, but we were more than satisfied with what we received. They even make their own sourdough bread and butter. Delicious! I decided to add the French Onion soup as a starter, but was not impressed with the chef's very plain take, on this old classic, I even remarked that the Claim Jumper's version of FOS was far superior. Gloria (our main server) was a delight, and always quick to notice a half-empty glass. We talked and quaffed for hours. The atmosphere here just lends itself to conversation and good times. Thus, this would be a great place to take a date or a business associate. They will be impressed, and you'll be able to talk, and get to know one another better. Protip: Don't forget to park in the valet parking of the Disneyland Hotel. Give your ticket to the server, and she will validate it for you. The validation is good for 5 hours! So talk all you want!

I went here for the birthday weekend we were spending at the Disneyland Resort and it was definitely a cherry on top of a wonderful weekend! This place can be hard to find if you don't know about it. Its located inside the Disneyland hotel next to Goofy's Kitchen. It's definitely more upscale place to eat at the resort but you definitely see families who are dressed casually who obviously just spent the day park. I definitely recommend making reservations as the restaurant is not huge. The decor was really old hollywood and I loved the ambiance that it set once inside. Our server (Khan) was amazing! Once he saw it was my birthday he took us wine tasting in their cellar and every recommendation was spot on. For the appetizer we got the crab cakes which were nothing short of delicious. For the entree, we ordered the prime rib, green beans and their scalloped potato dish. The prime rib was cooked perfectly and had alot of flavor. Their green beans were about the best green beans I'd ever had in my life. Although bacon can do that to anything right? Finally the scalloped potato dish was also ridiculously good. Khan explained it was made out of 27 alternating layers of thinly sliced potato and their cream sauce. Dessert in my opinion was just okay. We got a fruit and berry dessert with a sauce and it didnt really wow me as I don't exactly remember it all that well. I did receive a complimentary chocolate cake for my birthday which was nice. All in all the service here was amazing, the food one of the best I've had and I would definitely come here again!

Great steak for the price... and best thing, it's a Disney property!

sigh...where to start. i REALLY wanted to like this place, i looked around for 2 weeks trying to find a good restuarant to take my new love hoping it could be our annual go to place. A VERY big disappointment and even lighter wallet. Me and 7 others went here saturday @ 7pm for a birth-day dinner, Waiter was nice, and helpful. Gave us delicious bread. hot baked goodness of sourdough. we ordered appetizers (2 Calamaris, 2 Salads and 1 onion soup)and entrees. They messed up on one of our appetizers so it never came. that's fine. no biggie. it was very good though, everything was fresh and prepared nicely. we waited patiently for our entrees...20 minutes...25..Our waiter comes to our table and tells us the food will be out in 2minutes. 10 more minutes then 25 minutes has passed. FINALLY the steaks (1 filet migon, 5 Ribeyes) came out. By now we were starving, we all start digging in and our steaks are either luke-warm or COLD. HOW DOES STEAK GET COLD?? While i'm shocked at what to do, staring at my COLD FILET MIGON which looks like it has been sitting...i see a waitress bring a tray of hot steaks to our table but turn back after they see we already got our food...so i'm guessing they confused our order and had it made twice, after our waiter went back the second time to check. which means Our steaks were probably done WAYYYY before and were just sitting there with flies and all. which would explain the cold and lukewarm meal. ATLEAST the sides (green bean w/ bacon, mashed potatoes and Au Gratin) were hot and delicious. unfortunalty we didn't speak to the manager or ask for new steaks because we were short on time after waiting for SO long. we just asked for some of them to be heated up again. UNPROFESSIONAL.

A good steakhouse. The food was good, the decor decent, and the service was okay. They had a nice tasting menu. The wine list is very good. It was very noisy inside, and hard to get to with all the Disney Resort traffic.
(3)Jennifer B.
This restaurant has not only provided a great atmosphere, but a fantastic and familiar menu that all ages and all people can agree on. I highly recommend this restaurant!
(5)Jennifer Y.
Food was good. Service was terrible. My bf and I have date night once a month and treat ourselves to fine dining. We saw are waiter 2 times... To take our order and to take our money. The biggest disappointment is we are Disney fans and love all their other restaurants. Thanks Martin.
(2)Jennifer O.
i love this place. if i could afford it i would come once a month. the steaks are awesome. the warm spinich salad is yummy bacony. the best thing, though, is the potato au gratin. OMG i could die. the service is awesome! but make reservations. it's fancy food, but you can come in Disneyland park attire. really. you don't have to dress up for this fancy food and feel weird about it. :) awesome! i'm ready for another day at the park and some steak and potatoes too! bring it on! :)
(5)Tricia Y.
best breakfast restaurant in the disney resort!! more adult oriented.. but most breakfasts where under like $18.00... and they do offer a kids menu. they had the BEST huevos rancheros!! everything tasted super fresh.. and the salsa even had a little kick to it.
(5)Joseph Y.
This review is specifically about their dinner. When I first walked in, the atmosphere is much brighter then I expected for a steak house (of course it is disney). The black and white photo's of Walt all over the walls give a very nice feeling to the restaurant. There is a display case in the middle of the dining area that contains a premium bottle of Cognac. I think it was over $100 for a small amount of it. I'm assuming when someone does order this, the waiter opens the display case for everyone to see. Thus giving whoever is ordering this all the attention in the dining room. When I heard about that, I actually thought that it sounded awesome if you were rich. Now to the food. I have been to some great steak places in the past, so for the prices I was expecting nothing short of great. Me and my friend both ordered the Rib-Eye on the recommendation of the waiter. I also got a side of asparagus and a appetizer of Calamari. My friend ordered the Augrain Potato Stack. Both sides were good, but nothing that really gave that wow factor. The Rib-Eye itself was decent. Not the best Rib-Eye I've had. I think the thing I really liked about the meat was the dry rub that they used on it. It complimented the meat very well and it probably saved this dinner from being a complete failure. For desert we got the Creme Brulee and the Root Beer Float Baked Alaska (never heard of it before that day). Creme Brulee isn't really all that different from place to place. This place served berries with theirs which I thought gave it a little more kick. Most of the higher end places actually do the flambe table side, unfortunately this place did not. The Brulee actually came with a napkin ring styled cinnamon type candy holding 4 cookie wafers (which ironically was the best part of the desert). As far as their take on Baked Alaska, it really just didn't work all that well in my opinion. I thought the desert looked appealing, it came with its own root beer float shooter on the side. The best parts about this place, were our waiter, and the coke (soda). Our waiter was very friendly, knowledgeable and all around pleasant. Before I start talking about the soda, I will say that I am a coke fanatic. I have charts showing coke's based on taste or effectiveness. Before coming here today, the taste factor always went to McDonald's first (pretty sure they have their own signature coke recipe made specifically for them) , then usually to the coke in a glass bottle with real suger (I think it says medio litro on the side). But this place took that spot right away making it the 2nd best tasting coke I've ever had. (I realize how ridiculous I sound talking about coke like it is a fine wine, but since I don't drink. Coke is my fine wine). The color was perfect, the smell was correct, and the taste was great. Honestly the thing that I look for most has to be the color when the soda is the lowest. The ice usually dilute's the actual flavor of the coke in most situations, but stronger cokes can withstand this specific situation. Overall this place wasn't nearly as great as I wanted it to be. Even though the waiter, the coke, and the rub on the meat was good, that doesn't give this place enough of an appeal to warrant a revisit. Again there much better steak houses out there. I'm glad I ate here at least once, just to see what all the chatter was about. But for the price, I think the Napa Rose is a much better choice

It's been close to two years since I've been here. My wife and I had dinner here the first night of our honeymoon. First, the negative: the service that night was SLOW. Not just a little slow. Molasses slow. The kitchen was the problem as our server was by our table fairly frequently. I had an enormous prime rib. Extremely juicy and cooked to perfection. This might be the best steak I've ever had. Ruth's Chris has nothing on this place. Everything is served a-la-carte. We ordered asparagus and mashed potatoes as sides; both were fabulous. I know my wife got steak too, but can't remember what kind. She also thought it was wonderful. The waitress knew we were on our honeymoon (I mentioned it when I made the reservations). When she brought the bill she apologized profusely for the the slow service and took 25% off our tab. We were absolutely stuffed, but she insisted on bringing us a free creme brulee also. We were thinking of going to the Haggen-Daas in Downtown Disney but I'm glad she brought the dessert because it too was excellent. I'll definitely go back to Steakhouse 55, and hopefully that night was just an off night for the kitchen.

Been here for dinner twice, and for breakfast. The food is amazingly good here, and everything is perfectly and expertly cooked. Love the old photos of Walt Disney and other Hollywood Celebrities circa the 1930s-1950s on the wall. The bar has some select appetizers (that are completely separate from the restaurant) and friendly staff and almost any drink you can think of. A very great restaurant, although overpriced (which you almost expect on Disney property).
(4)P I.
The wait staff is friendly and will explain the different cuts of meat. The food is excellent here. Best place to have steak at the Disneyland Resort.
(4)Kasia M.
By far the best restaurant near Disneyland. I loved every single thing I tried and I loved the service. I also loved the fact that I could eat my delicious expensive steak and sip my delicious mojito while wearing my mickey ears. This place is so great that I'm at a complete loss of words. I recommend this place to EVERYONE and ANYONE that mentions they're going to Disneyland. They have a to die for creme brulee and the cesar salad is perfect. Basically, everything they have is tasty and you will never get anything bad. This place is rather expensive and isn't really meant for children, but they definitely have a menu for them. I'd also suggest getting the sauteed mushrooms when ordering a steak. I can't wait until my next visit to Disneyland, so that I can come here again :)
(5)Caroline B.
Friends of mine visit Disneyland every year and we have pretty much eaten at every other place in the Disney resort. Steakhouse 55 seemed like the safest place for a nice dinner that wasn't too out there food wise. It was a Sunday night and we didn't have reservations, but after a quick wait we were shown our table. The service was very polite and informative. My friend and I had the salmon and the boys had steaks. We also ordered sides but I honestly cannot remember what they were. I think that is my real opinion of Steakhouse 55, it was good but nothing too memorable. Our dinner ended up being around $200 before tip. I think next time I would go check out the Mortons or Ruth's Chris in the area for a more memorable dinner next time.

I loved this meal. It was a special occasion, so my boyfriend and I decided to splurge. Loved the ambiance. Our server was FANTASTIC. I asked for a wine suggestion out of the meritage reds. He suggested the Wild Card meritage - and it was wonderful. We ordered two different salads. Mine was truthfully the best salad I've ever had. Such great flavors. Baby Spinach with Warm Applewood Smoked Bacon Vinaigrette. So good. My boyfriend had the caesar salad which was very good as well. For the main course we both had filets. Mine was cooked perfectly and had great seasoning. I've experienced overly salty steaks at Disney before (Blue Bayou) so I was very happy to have such a tasty piece of meat. For sides we had the asparagus in the yummy hollandaise sauce and the Chef's Potato Stack Au Gratin (which were recommended by our server and did not disappoint). Everything was so delicious we decided we couldn't skip dessert. We ordered the Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee - With Demerara Sugar and Chocolate, Orange Lace Cookie, and fresh raspberries. It was a great way to end a perfect meal. We scraped the dish clean even though we were quite full. It was a little pricey but as deluxe passholders we got 15% off of the meal here. There were hardly any children in the restaurant - our server told us we came a great time (7:30-8pm) to avoid kids/families. I definitely recommend this restaurant! I will be going back soon. Here's a full menu: allears.net/dlr/din/menu…

This place is really convenient since we stayed at the Disneyland Hotel (Magic Tower). We litterally just had to go downstairs and the restaurant wast there. It was a bit upsetting, so I might need to revisit the next time I stay at Disneyland. I'm not sure what got into me that night, but I ordered pork - not beef. BOO! I had that with their famous Steakhouse 55 rub. . which was a bit TOO salty. SO had the lobster, he said it was a bit on the dry side. We also had our daughter who had the grilled cheese sandwich. Service was very prompt. Filled our glasses w/ water each time they passed by, made sure I had honey for my tea (I had a sore throat) and offered to take pictures! Khan, our server, was really nice, he made sure that he spent time with us, especially because he didn't have any more tables to serve. I gotta taste the steak next time!!! =)

This evening was my first visit to Steakhouse 55 in the Disneyland Hotel. I'd dined the previous two evenings at Napa Rose, my personal gold standard for Disneyland Resort restaurants, so I decided to try something new. Since it is my gold standard, though, you'll note I can't help comparing them. I assume the restaurant is named for the year Disneyland opened, and its decor seems designed to suggest a classy Hollywood establishment at the time. The most beautiful aspect for me was the gorgeous Art Deco chandeliers, but over the vertical-stripe upholstered banquettes (so '50s) are '50s (and still ugly) tubular shaded lights. The walls are decorated with photos of stars eating dinner (mostly '40s with a very few '50s)--Victor Mature in his wartime Navy uniform with Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton (what a couple!), Walt Disney with a teenaged Shirley Temple, Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe, etc. The walls are a gentle white with lots of dark wood trim. The room is rather dark. The one touch of Disney whimsy is the chairs, whose backs have broad scrollwork tops tapering to cartoon-thin wasp waists. The overall ambience is nice, though a little contrived in comparison to the easy Art Deco elegant beauty of Napa Rose. The menu is high class steakhouse, with some seafood offerings. Selections are a la carte, with an assortment of vegetable, potato, etc. side dishes. The seven onion soup (actually six onions and garlic) was delicious. The New York steak did arrive with a little garnish of greens which might have sufficed as a vegetable had I thought to ask, and the steak was delicious. The broccoli crown side dish with brown butter and herb crust was an awesome five inches across--plenty for two to share, except that I was dining alone. The list of wines available by the glass is nicely extensive, and I enjoyed a 2006 Rudd cabernet sauvignon. Before dinner I was served a sliced loaf of freshly baked sourdough bread, piping hot with a tub of nicely soft butter--perfect. The vanilla créme brulee was delicious, but best of all was presented on a large plate with three very thin candy wafers "filed" in a spiral hard candy rack. It was very pretty, the nicest presentation of the evening. The serving staff was nice and fairly attentive, but again not quite up to the pleasant, friendly sparkle common to staff at Napa Rose.

If you have a LOT of money, LOVE meat, you should go. If you are going along, be thankful that someone else is paying. My mom works at one of the Disney restaurants, so we had a chuckle about the upper caliber class of this restaurant. If you don't mind tap, you can accept the "house water" versus bottled. The decor is classy and classic, but I had an eerie feeling of dead Hollywood folks. We had a reservation for six, which was easily accommodated and promptly seated. C's dad ordered three of starter Chilled Smoked Ahi, Cucumber Relish, Wasabi vinaigrette... I chiseled around the fish and tasted the dressings. WOW. Delicious. I wasn't very hungry, and in reviewing the menu online before arrival, weary of the prices and my options; I ordered a Spring Greens with Candied Pecans and Raspberry Vinaigrette. It's big enough to feed two to three to accompany an entree, or one as a single meal, and goood. Everyone else had steaks, onion soup, potatoes, pork, all with positive five-star reviews. Negatory on the free refills and speed at which you can receive. Bread was bombastic.

I have been a fan of this steak house for decades- back to when it was called Granville's Steakhouse. For years it was the only place to get an excellent adult meal at Disneyland and still remains one of the best places. It has become a family tradition for each trip to Disneyland to dine at Steakhouse 55 and our last trip in October was no exception to the rule! My husband and I made 730pm reservations, but found that we were ready for dinner much earlier and showed up about 650pm thinking we could have a drink in the bar if they couldn't seat us early. It was no problem, they had us seated right away. Put us in a quiet corner, dim lights ~ very romantic. Attentive service, never had to look for wait staff or ask for anything- they think of everything! Bread is piping hot when it gets to your table and the butter is soft- a wonderful combination! Steaks that melt in your mouth...just absolutely wonderful! We did pass on dessert this last visit- but previous times have always consisted of wonderful desserts and I recall one time just wanting some vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce- which they brought and topped it with M & M's (as if they knew I was an M&M fanatic)....like i said, they just don't miss a thing at this place. we will continue to go back here time and time again!
(5)Jim K.
I've been here 4 times and have to say they have the tastiest steaks on earth. Well, maybe just Orange County. It's tender, flavorful and not your typical commodity-type beef. I'd be curious to find out where it comes from. Everything is a la carte and the menu is a bit limited, mainly beef with a few chicken and fish dishes. The side dishes I've tried are the asparagus, grilled mushrooms, mashed potatoes and potatoes au gratin. The appetizers include crab cakes, seared ahi with wasabi sauce and shrimp cocktail. Everything was outstanding except for one time the mushrooms were a bit overdone as was a friend's baked potato. Service has usually been great except for once, when it was a bit slow, but this is a place where you can relax and enjoy your meal and not be rushed. The wine selection is extensive and the dessert selections are delicious. Steakhouse 55 provides a pleasant dining experience with good service, food and nice ambiance. The prices are high, but you are at the happiest place on earth.

Went to celebrate my sons graduation from college, waitstaff is fantastic,the mojitos are fantastic. We we're hungry had salads and dinner. 2 in the party get steaks and both were screwed up. One steak was cooked MR but was cold. 2nd was supposed to be MR was well Done they offered to redo but we were hungry instead they bought dessert for everyone. Amd apologized profusely. Had the creme brulee and the root beer alaska baked which though a amall portion was well worth it.

We have eaten at many restaurants at Disneyland Resort, both in the park, hotels, and Downtown Disney, but we had never eaten at Steakhouse 55, so we chose to go there for our anniversary. My husband and I decided to share a meal because we knew it would be ample food. We selected the prime rib and 3 side dishes. It was so delicious that we went back for New Year's Eve a few weeks later. My husband, the root beer fan, ordered the deconstructed root beer float for dessert, and I had the massive, several layer chocolate cake (I brought home half to put in the freezer). We felt that this restaurant was a little more dressy and classy than some, but since it is on the Disney property, diners in casual dress are certainly welcome. The servers were helpful and attentive, but some of the seating is too close to other diners, making it difficult to have a private conversation or not to overhear theirs.
(4)Susan K.
I took my husband here for his birthday and neither of us felt like it was worth the price we paid for the meals. The dinner was just mediocre. We've tasted better steak in the past so we were disappointed with our meal. The service is great though. We would not recommend this place, there are much better steakhouses you can go to well worth the money.
(2)Teresa G.
This has to be my favorite place to go when my husband and I are going to treat ourselves although sometimes we take the kids. I truly believe that you can have so-so food but when the service is exceptional it almost makes the food tastes better. Well, the service and food have never disappointed us. We usually order the petite fillet Mignon or the porterhouse. The sides we change up and really don't have a favorite they are all delicious. The end of the meal we order a creme brulee to die for with french pressed coffee that keeps us perked enough for our drive home. The waiters are very attentive but keep themselves tucked away so you can enjoy the intimate dim lit ambiance. Your drink never reaches the bottom and your crumbs are frequently cleaned off your table. When wanting to take your leftovers home they take your plate in the back and almost re-prepare it to look presentable in the to go container. (that's a big one for me, when you ask for the food to go and they just bring you containers and walk off) We do receive a discount with our Disney passes but if you don't have one you need to give this restaurant a try. Ask for Vicente to be your server, he is excellent! Breakfast time is very kid friendly and the kids can draw on the tables and the atmosphere is very light. Breakfast food is delicious, it's not nearly as expensive for breakfast as it is for dinner and the children are usually sent away with a nice souvenir. Steakhouse 55 is worth using some of those hard earned OT hours from work! lol
(5)Joel I.
Great food, great wine, great service. We had the chef's potato stack au gratin and steamed asparagus in hollandaise for our sides. Filet minon and the herb-crusted rack of lamb for entrees were amazing. Topped off with a couple glasses each of Riesling and Merlot making the night even more enjoyable. Even the water was perfection - no exaggeration. For dessert, the bonita velvet chocolate bar was an excellent finish. Impeccable service with very personal staff members made it impossible to not have a smile painted on for what seemed like a perfect dinner. I WILL be returning - when I can't say - but whenever it is, I will be glowing with anticipation.

I took Brad here for a surprise birthday dinner. We were in the parks all day, and I wanted to treat him somewhere special for dinner. I did advise the staff that day when I made the reservations (when I was in the park) that it was his birthday. We arrived and were seated promptly at a lovely table. The waitresses were lovely, prompt, friendly and extremly efficient. They took our drink order and placed a lovely hot mountain of bread in front of us. We both ordered the Ribeye, mashed potatoes and grilled portobello mushrooms. The steak was delivered medium, the way I had requested it. It was tender, delicious and well prepared. The mashed potatoes were soft, rich, and Brad said he felt like he was eating clouds. The mushrooms were meaty, well spiced and went well with the steaks. They provided Brad a complimentary dessert for his birthday and made him feel very special. I gave them a 30% tip for the wonderful service, great attitude, and glad that they gave us a perfect end to a perfect day.

This restaurant was well worth the price! I couldn't afford to go here too often, but will now try to find excuses to spend this much on food, it was that good. I went here 2 weeks ago, for a combination birthday (mine) and Valentine's Day dinner, on a Saturday. I made reservations in advance, when we got there it was empty, but quickly filled up. Although the hotel itself is louder, the seated area of the restaurant was very quiet and upscale. You can come dressed casual or dressed up and still not feel out of place. We both ordered the Filet Mignon, and shared green beans and mashed potatoes. Everything about the meal was perfect. The waitress was very nice, and even though we said we had no room for dessert, she ended up bringing me out a free dessert (chocolate mousse) because she said I had to have something on my birthday; It even had a candle and a chocolate sign saying "Happy Birthday". I tried my hardest to eat some, but couldn't finish it because I was so full from the rest of the meal. It was pricey, but not really anymore than a non-resort steakhouse, so if I had to pick from any other steakhouse, I'd still choose here easily. Plus, annual passholders get a discount! My total (with a 15% AP discount) was $104. That included 2 Filet Mingon's, 2 sides, a salad, glass of wine, and glass of soda, and of course dessert was free.

Hands down the best food I've had at a elegant restaurant. I had the salmon and my family shared some mac n cheese, garlic mash potatoes, and spinach. The salmon was sooo good and fresh the mac n cheese was to die for and mash potatoes hands down amazing. We had creme brulee at the end to make it one of my favorites dinners so far.

Ordered the rib eye. After having it come late and needing to send it back, it was excellent. The crispy spinach was excellent. Meals are large portions, can be shared.

Just had dinner here and it was great. I believe it is comparable to Mortons. Good all around for us and our family

FIVE stars for the food, although a bit pricey for what you get. $39 for just a filet, no sides. I think for that price, they could include at least one side. BUT, it was fabulous tasting prime filet. We had a Filipino waitress who seemed rather rushed and inattentive to our needs. That declined our enjoyment tremendously. She forgot my wine order, didn't apologize, and we had to track her down for a few things--I hate that! The bar area needs a new bartender. The very nice older Hispanic man was more interested in sharing personal stories than tending to the one customer at the bar area. I'm not sure why Disney has a difficult time finding good wait staff, but they sure need it at their high end restaurants!
(4)Tanna T.
I know one should expect higher pieces when near Disney, but I feel a bit ripped off when I pay $31 for an all-a-carte salmon entrée. No veggies, no rice, just crusted salmon for $31. I ordered a side of green beans and they were full of butter and cost $9. Service was slow. The ambiance is dark, emulating higher-end dining, but there are kids who are over stimulated and exhausted from their day at D-Land who are sitting next to a couple who is trying to have a romantic dinner. All in all, the price and venue is not worth the money.

Steakhouse 55 isnt' a bad bet , especially for being on the resort. I just feel like there are better steak places for the money out there (ie Mastro's, Ruth's Chris). I had the pork chop and shared the filet. The pork chop was juicy, but lacked any significant flavor. I felt the same way about the steak. It was cooked fine, but just didn't impress me enough to want to come back. I will say that their service is on par with everything else around Disneyland. We had a large party that they were willing to accomodate, and the manager was overtly nice after they said they had no record of my reservation (had to show them the email from my phone). If you're on the fence abou it, skip it. But it is convenient, and Trader Sam's is literally a walkway over.

This was my first experience eating at Steakhouse 55. I was so excited and really wanted to enjoy it but a couple of things about the experience just irked me. First, we let the server know it was our first time and she was super nice and courteous. We all ordered water with lemon and the lemon never showed up. I asked for lemon 3 times throughout the meal and I still never got it. When we ordered our meals we were asked if we would like a side, unknowing that it was family style 3 of us ordered the mashed potatoes. I get it, that's probably our fault for not knowing or reading the menu correctly... but I wish the server could have let us know or reminded us knowing that we had never been there before. 5 people don't need 3 family style servings of mashed potatoes, 1 side of broccoli and 1 side of mac and cheese. WAY too much food. Especially for the price. My family loved their entrées. My dad and brother ranted and raved about how that was the best lobster they ever had, my mom said her rib eye was cooked to perfection, my best friend loved her chicken and the heaps of mashed potatoes we had were were delicious. My new york steak felt a little over cooked, but still good. Next time I would get the rib eye. Yes, next time. I will go back! They could have just been having an off day so I will give them another chance, I just wish my first experience went a little bit better.

My husband and I went to Steakhouse 55 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I made reservations and we were pretty excited since it's at the Disneyland Hotel and we love Disneyland. I saw that this place got good reviews on Yelp and figured why not try it? When it was all said and done though, we felt very disappointed. Sadly, I don't think we would come back again. I was really rooting for you Steakhouse 55. The saying goes, "You get what you pay for" well, that did not happen here. I've been to different steakhouses with comparable prices as Steakhouse 55 and I've received excellent service at those places every time. Our server was not the best - never gave us an update on why our food took over 1+ hour to get to our table (giving us our steak knives but still waiting another 30 minutes for our food is such a tease), he did not check up on us (maybe once at the start of our meal before I took a bite of my steak), did not ask if we were there to celebrate anything special...nothing. A complimentary dessert for our anniversary would have made it a little better. I think the food runner and the table busser were more helpful than our server - they asked us if we needed anything a few times and helped us more and boxed up our food for us. It even took forever to get our check from the server. Other guests around me were also commenting among themselves that it was taking forever to get their food or their check. Okay, now that I am done complaining about the service, I do have something good to say - the food was awesome, and that was probably what helped out in my overall experience there. I ordered the filet mignon and risotto and it was great. My husband ordered the bone-in ribeye and mac and cheese. We liked our food - our steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were flavorful. The sourdough bread that came with our meal was pretty good too. If the service was excellent as the food, then this place would have gotten 5 stars just like I would give to places such as Mastro's, Capital Grille, and Flemmings. My husband and I were disappointed, but we didn't let this ruin our anniversary. We hoped you would be an overall awesome experience Steakhouse 55, but we only got good food out of it with terrible service.

We were fortunate enough to have our food comped, (after some unfortunate events, but I digress) and I must say I would've paid for this food anyways! Hands down: THE BEST MEAL I'VE HAD IN MY SHORT LIFE! The ambience, the three course meal (each dish so friggin good!) the desserts and most importantly, our friendly, very helpful and funny server made this not only one of the only highlights of our night, but my loving mother's birthday as well. It's what Disney's known for, and I can't wait to go back to this wondrous place!
(5)Michelle N.
I came here for my anniversary dinner with my bf and it was lovely The food was just ok. I've had better steaks else where and the string beans side was a little under cooked for me. The potatoes were yummy. Very cheesy and tender. Best part of the diner was the welcoming and ending. We were given anniversary pins to celebrate our evening and we're surprised with a Mickey shaped chocolate moose cake that was very dense and rich and delicious! The ambiance was fancy but the attitude was casual.
(4)Kris C.
If I were to rate this on service alone, I would up the stars. The three stars coincides with the price of food and the quality that you receive. The good news, the establishment is located next to Goofy's Kitchen in the Disneyland hotel. Because Goofy's Kitchen, well, has Goofy hanging out there, a long line tends to follow. This makes Steakhouse 55 an excellent alternative (I have only been here for breakfast). The coffee here is amazing. The steak and eggs are also not a bad option. The ambiance of the restaurant yourself is very average. Again, I have NOT been here for dinner and my guess (seeing how it is a steakhouse) is it may be a very good one. I am sure I will be trying there dinner fare as I have an Annual pass and typically need sustenance after a long day of walking.
(3)Josh B.
Didn't quite live up to the hype for us. The steaks and sides were good, but I like the Palm better. Atmosphere was a little stuffy for me. If you plan to eat high end at Disneyland, go to Napa Rose.

Best Date Night EVER!!!! My boyfriend and I went to Steakhouse 55 for our 3 year anniversary last week and it was a truly magical experience. Let me start by saying the ambiance was spectacular. From the low lighting, the striped booths and the black and white pictures of some of Hollywood's greatest stars of the past I felt transported to another time and place. The Service was 5 star and the manager Eric came over to our table and introduced himself and let us know he hoped we would enjoy our anniversary dinner. We were very lucky and were allowed to do a special wine tasting in the wine cellar in order to chose our wine for dinner. There wine selection is impressive I must say. Martin our waiter was incredible as were the rest of the staff, they made sure everything was perfect. The Food was INSANE!!!!! My free range chicken was the best I have ever had in my life and my boyfriend hardly spoke two words once he received his rib-eye (a sure sign of complete enjoyment). we also ordered a side of the Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed potatoes and the holindaise asparagus. Everything was divine. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better Eric reappeared and asked how everything was and if we had room for desert, well of course there is room for an anniversary dessert!!! A few moments later the most beautiful great tasting Chocolate Mouse complete with candles and a sign made of chocolate that said Happy Anniversary appearded before us.There were no words to express how amazing everything was. An incredible night with outstanding food. Steakhouse 55 is honestly my new favorite restaurant. I will be returning there every chance I get and already asked my boyfriend if we can go there for all of our anniversaries from now on.....he thought that would be a great plan.

While Steakhouse 55 is in the style of Ruth's Chris or Mortons, all of the gushing reviews are misguided. I can only think that people are rating it so highly because of the Disney connection. The beef at Steahouse 55 is not Prime beef (except for the Prime Rib); it is "certified Angus," which is really meaningless. And you can taste the difference, if you actually like good steak. The steaks are prepared well. But they are just not as good as true high end steakhouses (or quite frankly the steaks I buy at Bristol Farms). The wine list is very good, but not great. The room is very old Hollywood and nice. But you often have to deal with screaming kids (which some people find cute or charming, while others do not), because their parents want to eat here and they are too rude or self-absorbed to realize that their children are annoying people around them. The service was very good both times that I've been here (neither of which was connected to an outing to either Disney park). The first time was a wine pairing dinner that I quite enjoyed. The second was for my wife's birthday, which is described below. Our meal. Appetizers: the portabello mushroom with humbolt fog cheese and a wine reduction was flabby and mushy and lacked any finese whatsoever. The popcorn shrimp was fine for what it was, but is more akin to what you would order at Outback, as opposed to a fine steakhouse. The shrimp cocktail was actually pretty nice. Soup/salad: The onion soup was actually pretty good, as it was not drowned in gooey cheese. You could actually taste the broth and the flavors. But those wanting the gooey cheese over toast thing will be disappointed. The wedge salad was similar to what you would get everywhere and was fine. Steaks. The bone-in rib eye is their "best" steak, but unfortunately it is not prime dry-aged beef, and that shows in the final analysis. It was cooked to perfection. The Steakhouse 55 rub is more than I want on a good quality steak (which this was not), as it has lots of things going on. On this piece of meat it helped what was pretty average meat. The Prime Rib was also prepared well, but was not in the Lawry's category, for example. Deserts. My wife got a little chocolate cake for her birthday, which was appreciated. Another member of our party had creme brulee, which did not have actual vanilla bean in it; it was clearly made with vanilla extract, as opposed to vanilla bean -- and there is a difference. I had a small cheese course for desert that was a nice way to finish off our wine. All in all, the meal was fine. It was not great or amazing. It was fine. The service was better than the meal. And it costs the same as really fine steakhouses. So why would one go here? If you are staying in the Disney area, this is a fine place to wind down from your Disney day. Do not make a trip to this place unless it is for the wine pairing dinner, which is much more creative and interesting than the regular menu here.

My wife and I ate at the Steakhouse 55 last night. Food was good but they had to replace my Well-Done Prime Rib with what I had ordered, a Med-Rare. The waiter noticed it right away and had no problem replacing it. My gripe is that they will gouge you for everything, your meat will be $35, salad $8, and side $8. We each had two glasses of house wine, (2008 Chalone Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Monterey County) at a cost of $9.50 ea. Didn't know this until we got the bill. The wine was very tasty, so good that I had to find it for home use. I found it alright, at BevMo for $13.99 a bottle!!! What a fricken mark up!!! When it was all over we spent over $160.00 w/tip just for the two of us.
(3)Candie L.
I love eating here when I stay at the Disneyland hotel. I got the Prix Fixe which was an excellent deal. Our whole party enjoyed his/her food, especially the creme brulee. The staff was very nice.
(5)Donna M.
since my fiance and I had to change our plans to have a birthday dinner out side of downtown disney, we opt to go here instead and because it was right next to our hotel. Our waiter noticed my fiance's birthday button and wished him happy birthday and delivered a cake at the end of our meal making his birthday even more memorable. Our dinner was nothing but delicious! The Petite meal was perfect, just enough for me. Everything on the menu is promising. The staff is attentive, there should be no complains. The smashed potatoes are a must!
(5)Scotty D.
so sorry clarabelle cow but your disney cow friends taste damn good! so weird out of all of the disney characters i didn't see you hanging around steakhouse 55. you better stay far away because they do steak right! farm4.static.flickr.com/… after 3 days of greasy junk food it was time to get in a decent meal and i got to pick so i went with steakhouse 55. we got reservations the day of for 8pm but luckily disneyland closed at 6pm that day for their holiday party so i wasn't missing out on anything that day. i made sure i ate light all day so i could really enjoy this place and that meant no corn dogs, burgers or churros. i was hungry and ready to get my fix of red meat. we arrived a little early but were seated immediately by a woman possibly in her 80's. she was so nice and might have been there to serve walt back when it was granville's steakhouse back in the day. we were sat in a comfy round booth that was a little snug but we made due. the menu looked so good and there were so many directions i wanted to go but i already knew i had to have the bone-in ribeye steak. my mom ordered the lobster tail and dad went with the new york steak. unfortunately they offer sides separately so we just had to try the potato stack au gratin and the sauteed green beans. both the sides were all $7 but worth every dollar. i decided to start with the wedge salad for $8 and it would prove to be a great start. the iceberg was topped with red onion, tomato and a gorgonzola dressing. i had the server add some extra fresh cracked pepper and that sealed the deal. is that disney magic pepper? it was seriously the best cracked pepper i have had and i know it sounds funny. it really complimented this awesome salad. you could tell the dressing was fresh as it had huge chunks of cheese and it made it difficult to share because i wanted it all to myself. sure every place seems to have a wedge salad these days but this was the best salad i have had in a long time. when the entrees arrived by cart my eyes were as big as a virgin in a strip club. the plates were huge and we were ready for more. my ribeye was so huge and cooked to a perfect medium. at $36 this 18 ounce masterpiece looked well worth it. it had the signature rub and you could taste it in every bite. whatever was in that rub had me at hello. i added a peppercorn demi sauce for an additional $4 and it complimented the steak to an extreme. i wanted every bite to myself but we share so i gave some to my parents and they were floored. it's hard to find a good ribeye steak and this was by far the best they have had in years. it was so flavorful and tender i wish yelp had taste o vision so you could try it. the lobster my mom ordered was $45 and darn tasty. it was the best she had had in a very long time. she gave me a huge taste and was so tender and sweet. there was no lemon or butter needed at all the meat itself was so flavorful it was scrumptious. you can't go wrong with a night of surf and turf. it was australian lobster tail so no more maine for me. the 14 ounce new york steak my dad had ordered at $35 was a little tough but he added a bearnaise sauce and that made it. he shared a pretty good size portion with me and i found it pretty tender and juicy. my steak was the only one with the signature rub and we wished it had it for additional flavor. as for the sides we made two very great choices. the green beans were so tender and crisp and had applewood smoked bacon. as most of you know bacon makes everything better. it had some sort of lite sauce to it that made it so tasty. i would order this again in a heartbeat. the au gratin potato stack my dad ordered was very good. it was crispy on the outside and very creamy and tender inside. i had a little bit but by the time i wanted more they were gone. darn you dad! i can't blame you they were a hit. as we were eating i noticed the cart go by our table and i swear i saw mac and cheese. we asked our server about it and she thought she mentioned it in the specials. nope you forgot! i love mac and cheese and we wish we had known about it but we were pretty happy with all that we had. by the time we were finished we were stuffed and couldn't even think about dessert. we needed to save room for another day of junk food. we had a delicious meal and had great service except for the mac and cheese thing but we loved steakhouse 55. if you want a great place for dinner when in the disney district you won't be let down by the wonderful food steakhouse 55 has to offer.
(4)Mika G.
I usually go to Blue Bayou and wanted to try something different, so I made reservations for Steakhouse 55 located in the Disneyland Hotel. It's a very nice restaurant. Not your typical Disney restaurant with the characters running around greeting you so I don't think this would be a place for the kids. But the prices are Disney high. lol The service was perfect. The menu is a la carte but they did have a prix fixe menu which I ordered. It came with a caesar salad, petite new york steak, mashed potatoes and a tart. The meal was delightful. My friend had no complaints about her chicken dinner. We were mesmerized by the solar system of martinis with lighted blue ice cubes at the tables around us. Something I will have to order next time. So all was well and we were happy with Steakhouse 55.
(4)Aaron L.
Came here on a date last friday and I have to say I was very impressed. Complimentary valet parking, which was cool. then to get to the restaurant you have to walk through the Disneyland Hotel, and theres amazing artwork and disney related stuff in the halls. then you get to the restaurant itself. It has a very nice looking lounge with a bar, and a separate dining area. the lighting inside is dim, to give it a classy and romantic touch. the menuis fairly simple. appetizers, soups/salads, main course then desert. We had Calamari, Caesar Salad, Fillet Mignon, and creme brule for desert and i have to say each course was outdone by the next. the Fillet Mignon was cut, seasoned and cooked perfectly. calamari was not too squidy, not too breaded and not too crispy. Caesar Salad was the only salad ive enjoyed, ever in my history with salads. and the Creme Brule was heavenly. Its definitely an occasion restaurant though cuz its fairly pricey, expect to drop about 40 bucks per person (conservatively) and 60-80 a person if youre on a splurge, or if you order wine. of which they have a massive selection.
(5)Les I.
Good food and great service. Definitely one of the better restaurants in the Disneyland resort. A nice change of pace after a long day among the crowds.
(4)Whitney P.
I was attending a business meeting at the Grand Californian hotel in downtown disney. During a slow week in January, I had trouble getting a table for 10 (on a Wednesday), but finally after several calls made the reservation. Once I arrived, I could not understand why it was so difficult to get a rez, the place was nearly abandoned! They have a decent menu and food is OK. Just like Marlene B.'s comment, the rarest steak was 10 minutes behind the others . . .maybe it was the second try? It was a better experience than other Disney choices, but does not hold up to the chains (R Chris, Flemings, etc.)
(3)Haily W.
A nice quiet dinner away from all the craziness of Disneyland. We came here after our first choice, Hook's Pointe was closed for the night. Neither of us was super hungry so we decided to split our meal. Our waitress seemed kinda off and wasn't very friendly in comparison to some of the other service we received in the other sit down restaurants. The food ranged from decent to great. The bread that came out was nice and warm and we both ate more then we should have. We split the 18 oz Poterhouse cooked medium ($29) figuring 9 oz was more then enough for each of us and we were right. We also got a side of the Broccoli Crown with Brown Butter and Herb Crust ($7) and Garlic and Herb Smashed Potatoes ($7). The meat was VERY good. The flavor was awesome and the meat was tender and cooked just right to suite both our taste (I prefer mine medium rare and he likes his medium well). The broccoli was cooked to perfection which I find most restaurants can't do and I think I ate almost 3/4 of the serving, it was so good! I didn't care for the taters (they had a weird taste) but the boy did, so he ate those and left me all the broccoli. I rated this as my 2nd favorite meal of the trip, but the boy said it was his 3rd favorite, as he didn't quiet enjoy the meat as much as I did.
(4)Manny C.
Really good steak. I enjoyed my meal. The only thing however was the Mac and Cheese plate they were serving. It was dry but everything else was great.
(4)Roxanne B.
im a meat and potatoes kind of girl. and im a big disney fan. being a local to the area, im able to experience a lot of things, especially with disney. im a huge fan or the restaurants all around the resort and 90% if the time, im satisfied with everything at the resort. me and my boyfriend went for our 3 year anniversary tonight. we made a reservation just in case. but when we walked in, it was not busy at all. i like the fact that we were able to come in a classy restaurant like 55 in jeans and t shirts. a plus for us because we're jeans and t shirt kind of people! we had the onion soup. which was AMAZING. the spring green salad with nuts and raspberry dressing was clean and refreshing. we both ordered rib eyes and got potatoes au gratin and yukon gold smashed potatoes. everything was perfect. the best part of the meal was our dessert. its called the bonita chocolate flourless cake. ITS AMAZING! ALL chocolate loves must try it!! service was good. prompt and everyone was very friendly. definately recommend it, and we will be coming back very soon hopefully!

as a frequent disneyland visitor, and a former cast member, i really expect disney cast members to be on their a game. not to say i'm not sympathetic when a busy night or a stressful day prevents them from being 100%, but i do expect a level of professionalism. I was totally disappointed by my first trip to steakhouse 55. we had just driven in from san jose, we were hungry, but on a saturday night- downtown disney's waits were around the 3 hour mark. we decided to go to a hotel, because the waits there are usually very short to none, even on a busy night. goofy's kitchen was booked, so we walked around the corner to steakhouse 55. the cast members at the front were wonderful, as was the guy who seated us. the restaurant was beautiful and romantic with beautiful old photos of walt and various celebrities from the olden days. now, the reason for two stars- our waiter was terrible. we told him we just got in, and were looking for something nice, but small to eat, since we wanted to get to bed to be up early the next day. we also chose not to have wine, because we simply didn't feel like it... though he kept pushing it. we ordered the most expensive thing they had- the special- kobe beef. now, when you go, remember that there are no sides included- so the prices are only for the meat. we ordered the kobe beef, split plate, and two sides- the asparagus and garlic roasted potatoes. so we did have to wait about 20 minutes for our steak- which is understandable. the waiter got a little snooty when we said we didn't want any soup or salad. but not too bad. so the steaks came out with the food- and no steak knives! as a former yelper mentioned- there's no veggies at this place.. so the fact that someone would forget steak knives at a steakhouse is sort of bizarre. it took us about 15 minutes to get the knives, in which time our steaks were somewhat cold. the food: really not worth the price. in face, it wouldn't be worth half it's price. for kobe beef, it was chewy, not too tasty... and the potatoes weren't cooked correctly. price wise, this place just charged way too much in my opinion. the 8 oz. kobe steak was $55, each side was $6, and the split plate fee (which comprised of them slicing the steak in half and dropping it on two separate white plates with NO garnishing or decoration) was $4. our plates were cleared,... and at this point, we wanted to go to bed. problem was, our waiter decided to play like we weren't there. no exaggeration- took us 30 minutes for him to notice our plates were cleared and we were very bored. (mind you we had 8 hours in the car to talk... so we were really out of things to say at this point) once he noticed, he got the desert menus and brought them over to us. we said (still politely) no thanks- we need to get to bed since we have an early morning. now, this is the point in the meal where the waiter says "totally understandable" or "no problem"... but our waiter? gave us a dirty look, snatched back the menu's, and left without a word. ten minutes later, he finally brought the check without a thank you, take your time, or anything. pure silence. i paid in cash (for fear of how long it would take to get the bill back) and left the guy no tip. oy. look out when you come here. maybe this guy was a one time thing, but i won't ever be going back to steakhouse 55.
(2)Deborah R.
I guess "pricey" is kind of a meaningless word when you are trying to get a meal in Downtown Disney or at the Disneyland Hotel. Almost everything is pricey. This place is "pricey" and I guess that would be OK if it weren't for the fact that my companion and I had a lackluster meal with lackluster service. I did, however, enjoy gazing at the movie stars and other celebrities immortalized in giant black-and-white framed photos on the walls.
(2)Michella P.
Went here for breakfast while staying at the Disneyland Hotel. It was nice and comfortable, but pricey for breakfast. The food wasn't anything special. Just so-so. But the two best parts of the meal were our awesome waitress, Karen, and the old time movie star pictures on the wall. Karen is an absolute hoot. Trust me. You need to ask for her. You'll appreciate the entertainment.
(3)J and L V.
Terrific dining experience. I enjoyed the decor and loved the food. You've got to try the filet mignon with asparagus on the side, it's served with hollandaise sauce. Yummmm
(5)Rich S.
My wife and I have been 4 times now and have not been dissappointed. I was a little concerned that it was going to be full of kids because it's Dland. You get some kids, not alot. We took a friend the other night for his birthday, and he was pleasantly suprised from the moment he walked in. The ambiance is warm, inviting, white table clothes, and elegant. I like the fact you don't have to get dressed up. Although, that can be nice too. Service had been consistently good, although I did have to hail our waiter for service, I figured they had issues in the kitchen. But afterwards he was very attentive. We started with Cocktails and Popcorn Shrimp. The Shrimp was tasty and plenty for the three of us. My wife started with Wedge Salad with Blue cheese Dressing. I've had it before and it is a great salad. She ordered the Halibut with Asparagus w/Hollondaise, and she and I shared the Au gratin Potatoes (delicious), our guest and I ordered the Bone-in Rib Eye, Medium Rare. It was charred on the outside and perfect on the inside, tender and flavorful. We ordered the Mac Murray Pinot Noir for the table (one of my favorites) They have a great wine selection. Service and food are excellent.
(4)Melanie S.
I love meat!..no joke...if they served a 24 oz prime rib, I could probably finish it in about 7 minutes...this is our favorite place to go when we're at Disneyland...It's one of the pricier places to go, but the quality is much better than places in the amusement park like the Blue Bayou...this place is both about quality of food and ambiance...A party of 6 ended up being around $360...but we were hefers than night....we all ordered the prime rib..with various sides such as the asparagus with hollandaise, 3 cheese mac n cheese, smashed potatoes, and sauteed mushrooms...plus a couple of glasses of wine, and desserts to share...this place has some of the best prime rib ever!...so flavorful and by the end of the night you want to drink the au jus....i also like how its somewhat secluded from the rest of the park since it's inside the disneyland hotel...if you have the time to have a nice sit down dinner during your trip...aka, no babies....come here!!!
(5)Bret C.
Wow is all I can say, We went here for our anniversary by recommendation from my wife's boss. She works for Disney, and we love steaks, and decided to go here over Napa, since that's mainly california cuisine. We shared their signature Rib Eye, and to start had a wedge and french onion. Our sides were Yukon Gold Potatoes, (Melt in your mouth!) and Cream Corn, oh soo sweet. The Wine we choose was the Hess Cab 03, had it before from my old work and it was a perfect pair with that big steak, and brought unique taste to that onion soup. They gave us a cake with our names on the plate for our anniversary, and I must say, it meet our expectations and then some, the server was professional, and knew what wines I wanted, and wasn't faking his wine knowledge. Got pretty buzzed and enjoyed a great dinner and a nice walk in Disneyland after. Will come back as soon as I can make some money in this blasted recession.
(5)Troy S.
Don't go to Steakhouse55 expecting a Morton's or Ruth's Chris type experience! It's a good restaurant, don't get me wrong, but it's only good in comparison to the rest of the mediocre food served at Disneyland and the Disneyland Hotels. The restaurant and bar are very nicely decorated and presented, but unfortunately some of the details let it down. The employees are too unpolished and not up to the usual standards of a Morton's, even though the price points between Steakhouse55 and Morton's are the same. The hostess acted like she was bored to tears and terribly unimpressed with the world as she processed our arrival and "welcomed" us. Our steaks were cooked nicely, the sides were nicely presented although the asparagus was too soggy, and the service was appropriately attentive and pleasant, but again the experience overall just lacked the crisp edges and polish that should be there at this price point. Unfortunately, the entire evening was rather unimpressive due to the manager of all people who kept ruining the vibe and atmosphere. The servers are all dressed very formally, but there was this manager lady who needed to lose 75 pounds and get some better clothes and spend 15 more minutes on her appearance before she leaves the house. She was wearing what appeared to be stretch pants and a very casual blouse, and had her stringy hair pulled back in an old scrunchy like she had just got back from the grocery store. She blundered around the bar before our meal barking orders at the staff and being generally boorish and ungracious. Then, at the end of our meal, she approached our booth and very loudly and brashly said "Hi folks! How was your meal?! Everything turn out OK? Good, good. And how was the service? Was the service okay for you folks? We didn't screw it up tonight, did we?! HA HA! Good, good!". Yeah lady, the service was just fine until you pulled your trailer trash self up to our table and started acting like you were the shift supervisor at Denny's. Disney needs to train their management staff on how to act in a formal dining room. They also need to start a stricter dress code for their managers and make them dress and act with just a shred of style and dignity. I won't go back to Steakhouse55 as there is a Morton's and a Ruth's Chris just a few blocks away near the Anaheim Convention Center. It's a shame, because Disney clearly spent some cash decorating the facility and outfitting the staff. But their boorish management and not quite up to snuff food quality don't warrant the Morton's price points.

I was really hoping for a great steakhouse experience when we decided to go to Steakhouse 55. I had heard great things from other people about the food... but yet was very disappointed. My husband and I failed to take into consideration that the restaurant is at the Disneyland hotel - therefore should have expected the restaurant to be full of children... not that we mind having kids at restaurants, we just mind screaming/crying kids at restaurants. I didn't pay $30 for a steak just to have to wince at the sound of screaming children. Aside from the ambiance, the other disappointment was the food. I ordered a 7oz filet mignon - medium - but was served a dry piece of steak that in order for me to eat it, I needed to spread butter on top and sprinkle it with salt and pepper! Definitely not something that I expect at a fine dining restaurant. There were a few good points however - the creme brulee was excellent as was the service. But would I go there again, no. Sorry, first impressions make a big difference!

Fantastic!!! First night in Disneyland, my girlfriend and I were looking to go somewhere formal. We went to the steakhouse where everyone was pretty casual but we didn't feel out of place. I started with a baby spinach salad with the bacon dressing thru a recommendation by Lisa A. review. It was just as good as she said and I highly recommend it as well. Then we both had 14 oz new york steak. I've never had a steak like it. It was AMAZING!!!!! A must have!!!!!! After the trip it was all I could talk about. Our sides were the asparagus and the mashed potato's!!! Also delicious! I cant remember the name of our waiter but he was also very nice. We finished of the dinner with a the chocolate bar. A small portion between the two of us but so rich, it was better that we shared it. Also delicious. It was a little pricey but I knew it would be going into it. But well worth every penny. I will definitely go back on the next trip. It is nice to park on the other side of Disney downtown so you can have a nice walk after wards.

1 year anniversary and of course we had to go back to where it all started, Disneyland! What sentimental saps we are. Anyhow, we'd been to Goofy's Kitchen a few times already, went the Carthay Circle, didn't feel like getting dressed for Napa Rose and apparently Wine Country Trattoria wasn't setting off any whistles for this night. So...how can you go wrong with steak? Steakhouse 55 it was! We called the day of and managed to get a reservation for the same evening (Sunday) and when we arrived to when we left the place didn't get too crowded. There were a lot of little celebrations going and I'm guessing for the price, this was more a special occasion type of place. The hostesses were okay, looked a little confused for some reason when we showed up even though our reservation card was right in front of them, and they took us to our table. Our server came by to take our drink orders and he was honestly not very personable at all. Didn't really ask us much of any questions, didn't smile...nothing. Fine, whatever. So we go ahead and order the scallop appetizers and I got the ribeye, my boyfriend got the prime rib, and we ordered a side of mashed potatoes to share. The scallop appetizer...two okay sized scallops but ZOMG. I usually hate wasabi and anything with a wasabi anything scares me. But the sauces they used were PHENOMENAL and I wanted to lick the plate and not share with my boyfriend. I loved my ribeye. I mean, it was huge and I finished it. The rub they use is fantastic. My first bite, out of the corner, was a little salty, but then again it was a corner that was completely covered in the rub. The steak was tender, flavorful and cooked to perfection. My boyfriend's prime rib was also extremely tender and the au jus and horseradish gave it more of a kick. The garlic mashed potatoes were of course, big enough to share (I would hope so for 8 bucks). We were both able to get a pretty good portion each and while the garlic didn't shine through very strongly, they were still good mashed potatoes. Decided not to get dessert because we were really full and were planning on heading into the park where we could just get some ice cream or something later but our waiter seemed to develop a bigger attitude as the night went on and when we declined on dessert he turned into a bit of an a-hole. The hostess was okay and my server was kind of a jerk but the bussers here are SO SWEET. My server needed to take a cue from them. Overall, bill came out to a little over 100 for the 2 of us, throw in the annual pass and it came out to 80 something. Docking 1 star for my jerk of a server, but I'd do this again and recommend it to others.

Service was great here and the layout of the restaurant is pretty neat as well. I came here for breakfast which I didn't know they had and enjoyed the Eggs Benedict.

So did he get the third date? It's Saturday night and we are both deciding what we should do...suggestions are thrown around until we settled on Downtown Disney. He said he would make the reservations and come pick me up! Arriving on time we head to Downtown Disney and he finally tells me we are having a lovely dinner at Steakhouse 55! Our waiter was very nice and attentive but not overbearing. We ordered the porterhouse steak, rack of lamb and lobster tail. All were very delicious. I'm choosing to give this restaurant 5 stars because it wasn't just the food but who I was with. I had a great time with a great conversation and this place helped with that. I would say it's worth trying but for me it was definitely a more special night. So will he get the fourth date?! You bet!

This place has got to be one of the better kept secrets of the Disneyland resort. Over a five day period, we ate here four times, three times for breakfast, and once for dinner. Service was AMAZING and very attentive. First off, breakfast is extremely reasonably priced. Most entrees are in the $12 range and are huge generous portions. I had the sunrise breakfast burrito two mornings which was the perfect combination of savory and spicy. On our final day, I had their delicious french toast for breakfast which was to die for. They also have amazing coffee. If you're staying at the hotel trying to track down coffee and breakfast from one of the coffee shops on property or somewhere in Downtown Disney, seriously pay a couple of bucks more and come here for a real breakfast. Dinner was also delicious! Yes, it's pricey but you're paying for a true steakhouse experience. We ordered the prime rib, au gratin potatoes, and green beans with bacon. Our steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and served with au jus and horseradish sauce. The potatoes were to die for. But seriously you can't go wrong with butter, cream, potatoes, and cheese. The green beans were good, a bit undercooked for my liking but nevertheless delicious. This place is classy and you'll feel classy yourself walking through the doors. Don't worry about feeling underdressed for breakfast (there were several families with children dining). At the same time, you might feel out of place showing up in sweats and flip flops if you have dinner reservations here. Bottom line, if you have kids you're probably going to spend at least one morning at Goofy's Kitchen. But definitely check this place out for breakfast because it's definitely underrated.
(5)Trina T.
Oh my. This place is definitely the place to go for a great steak dinner while visiting Disneyland. I'm truly in love with this restaurant for their service and food. The scallop appetizer is fabulous. Another yelper suggested it and I'm glad I ordered one for myself. the ribeye is excellent. Their rub tastes fabulous and the steak was perfectly cooked. The sides are just as yummy as the rest of the food. I love it!

NEVER AGAIN! Mediocre steaks, and the servers were REALLY patronizing. I was with a group of five people, all of us have manual wheelchairs. When they called on us to be seating they asked "can you guys transfer into our chairs and we can put them somewhere else?" umm, why??? Whatever, we did what they asked. I was the first one to transfer out of my chair, and the waitress just HAD to say "oh you're such a trooper!" REALLY??? It gets better. As the night went on the waitress came to our table and asked how everything was, and then had the nerve to say "I was in a wheelchair for four years, I know how you all feel". Umm, we all have congenital birth defects. 4 years is NOTHING compared to a lifetime, plus there's so much more involved with our disability than just being in a wheelchair.
(1)Darrkk S.
it was our 5 year anniversary and we had a great dinner experience here, mostly due to our waiter/magical liaison DJ. we showed a bit early for our reservation and didnt have to wait for an improve booth to sit at. he welcomed us and gave us the rite amount of attention from start to finish, even giving us some restaurant trivia. the food: new York, truffle Mac n cheese, and recommended wine of Cyrus 2010 provided for a great dinner experience..... and great park rides the next day. thank you DJ.
(5)Juan F.
Just OK. I've had better steaks for the money
(3)Chas P.
I had dinner at the bar, which I was told is not part of the restaurant ? But serves the restaurant menu, who knows. The bar service for drinks and dinner frankly sucked, I felt bad for the bar tender he appeared overwhelmed when asked for a glass of water. It did not get better. My drink was short, whenever I see a bartender use a shot glass to measure out a drink you know it will be light. I gave this place a four because the meal was great. And off set poor service. Filet was perfect best I have had in a very long time side of mashed potatoes mushrooms and asparagus all very good. No complaints. Definitely would stop in again. Morton's, Ruth's Chris nor Gibsons has anything on this place food wise.
(4)Fei C.
We came here for dinner, I really enjoyed the ambiance n the service was excellent...we ordered the bone in ribeye, rack of lamb, broccoli with roasted garlic, seven onion soup n the 24 layer chocolate cake...Everything was good but the 24 layer chocolate cake was to die for!!! OMG! It's the BEST chocolate cake I've ever had...EVER! :D I'd go again just for the cake...mmm

I took my girlfriend here for our 5 year anniversary/her birthday celebration. The overall service was excellent and was appropriate for the type of restaurant it was. It was not exceptional, but definitely up to par on what'd I expect. Now for the food, the sourdough that they brought fresh out of the oven was heavenly; fluffy on the inside with just the right amount of crunch on the outside. We got two loaves as we were waiting for a bit before the main courses arrived. The duck fat fried pomme frites were delicious, but didn't taste any more special than your usual shoe string fries. Now on to the New York strip steak that I ordered, it was seared and cooked perfectly to the medium rare I ordered and possessed just the right amount of fat and oil to make it an extremely satisfying bite. To top it all, the chocolate bar/mousse dessert was comped on the house with a happy anniversary piece on it as well (I did expect this at least). Dimly lit ambiance was nice for couples and such, and I would recommend people to give this place a try if their looking for decent traditional american food in the Disneyland campus. It is pricey, but that's too be expected.

My husband and I have a bit of a Napa Rose addiction, but since variety is the spice of life, we thought we'd try out the Disneyland Hotel's fine dining offering. In short, I liked it, but didn't love it. The thing is, I'm not a steak expert. I like steak, but I prefer more variety in my menu selections. The menu here is pretty standard- if you're a meat-and-potatoes person, you'll love it. It's very high quality- I'd recommend it over Ruth's Chris- but I'm not sure there's enough variety to draw me back again and again. I feel like I tried it once and I'm satisfied. Pros: * The filet mignon was delicious- tender and flavorful. * Tasty sides, too! We had the mashed potatoes and risotto. * Very refined atmosphere- I enjoyed the low lighting and classic decor. * Good cocktails, lots of classic drink offerings. I had a French 75 and loved it. Not too sweet. * The host and hostess greeted my husband (who had made our reservation) by name- a very nice touch. Cons: * Slow service. * Our server was not as knowledgeable about the menu as I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. I inquired about gluten free bread- something all other sit-down restaurants at the Disneyland Resort have offered with ease- and was surprised that she had to check with the chef. No big deal, but the she forgot to check, and we had to follow up. (Spoilers: they do have gluten free bread and it's very nice!) * My husband said his steak was cooked well-done when he ordered medium. (It tasted good, though!) I'm glad we tried Steakhouse 55 and would recommend it to steak aficionados, but I don't feel particularly compelled to visit again.

The Dearest and I had an impromptu Date night which was absolutely wonderful. Part of that night included a stop at Steakhouse 55, Disneyland Hotel's fine dining restaurant. While my night was wonderful, Steakhouse 55 was strangely mediocre. Following the signs from the pool area, we found the entrance about ten feet away from the entrance to Goofy's Kitchen. The tacky neon and loud crowds from Goofy's Kitchen greatly diminished the atmosphere of going to a fine steak house. After being greeted promptly at the host stand, we entered through a hallway greeted by a picture of Walt Disney. After the picture, the chaos of the entrance magically melted away, and the atmosphere greatly improved. The wine list was not exciting. Since the restaurant is in a Resort hotel, I expected a supply of regional wines (Paso Robles, Sonoma, Napa, Temecula) to dominate the list, but instead received a list similar to any stock Steakhouse in any other city across the US. The Bar drinks were stiff and full of flavor. The Lemon Drop was fresh and my Hennessy side car was perfectly balanced. The appetizers were Seafood Dominated, and we chose the Diver Scallop Appetizer. It was seared perfectly and accompanied by a pea puree which help increase the buttery flavor of the Scallop. Delicious presentation, and a great app. Our Server brought a Warm Loaf of White bread with medallions of butter. After moving to the second round of drinks, we tried to order the Prime Rib, but were informed that the restaurant was out. (at 6:15, when the hours of the restaurant are 5:30-10). Moving on, I ordered a 14oz New York Steak, the Dearest had the Sustainable Fish Special (crusted Sole on a Garlic Mash with Asparagus). Since the Steak was a la carte, we ordered sides of AuGratin Potatoes and Creamed Spinach. The steak was cooked without grill marks to the requested Medium Rare. I felt it was rested too long, as it came to the table barely warm. The seasoning was not aggressive to a fault. I used the salt shaker, which should never happen at any fine dining restaurant. Ironically, the sole was overly salty. The sides were standard with no culinary surprises. We finished with the 24 layer Chocolate cake which was amazing. The Nutella Brittle topping was a great contrast to the sweetness of the chocolate. Great dessert. Like the wine list, the meal was just too boring. There was not enough quality, quantity, flavor, or flair to justify the higher price tag of dining out at a Steakhouse.
(3)Alexis R.
Came for breakfast this time. Absolutely delicious. Totally affordable for being Disney. Noticed that the "two times four" is popular since it comes with two slices of French toast, two sausages, two strips of bacon, two eggs, and potatoes and some grapes. ($12) The perfect breakfast. I don't think a lot of people know that they serve breakfast since they are known for being a Steakhouse. It's a total win! Come by and try breakfast. And of course, before you die.. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STEAK DINNER HERE!
(5)Chris K.
One of the best restaurants Disney has to offer. For the price you get quality and excellent service. The bread they serve is Boudin (yum!). Love that they have a kid's menu as well, so while it does feel fancy kids are welcome here.
(5)Amber S.
We tried the gratin potatoes and mac n cheese with our meals- filet and pork chop, and then topped it off with their baked alaska dessert. All were top notch. Our server was terrific, friendly and on top of it. The atmosphere was very nice and I loved all the old pictures on the wall. Great place for a special occasion or not (like we were).
(5)Vanessa F.
It was nice to finally be able to go to a fancy restaurant with the little one without getting any dirty looks. This is one of the perks of dining at Disneyland. There's no dress code either, so we walked in wearing our casual Disneyland clothes and nobody even batted an eye! We sat at a table in the back right next to the wine room. The ambiance was very romantic. We decided to share the scallops appetizer, the ribeye and the chef's au gratin stack. The scallops appetizer was good, but only came with 2 large scallops, one for each of us. I would have preferred 3 or 4 for the price we were paying. The ribeye was really delicious, cooked perfectly, and the seasoning was tasty. The au gratin was also very good - thick and creamy - almost resembling a slice of lasagna. So, overall I was pretty happy with the food, but I would have also liked to see more variety in the menu. The service was pretty on par. They brought out a complimentary chocolate ganache cake with a candle in it for my birthday, which was nice. The prices are pretty typical for a steakhouse. The little one stayed pretty well-behaved, so I had an enjoyable dinner. I would recommend this restaurant for couples with kids who want a fancy dinner but can't leave the kids at home!

So I've been here 4 times.. 3 times for dessert and just recently for a Mother's Day breakfast.. The 24 layer cake is fantastic looking and tasting.. Great presentation and is so rich and delicious.. It comes with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream as well.. Creme Brulee and the cheesecake are also very good.. I made reservations for dessert each time and received great service from everyone.. The eggs benedict for breakfast was another success.. The french toast my mother ordered was very good.. Warm berry sauce and maple syrup to pour all over the french toast makes it perfect.. Dad ordered an omelette which looked good.. Parents both enjoyed their food.. Breakfast is affordable at around $12 a plate.. That's pretty much the same as eating in the Parks.. Again, great service before, during and after eating.. The big plus here is the room itself.. Old school beautiful.. White linen tables, friendly employees dressed well and huge blown up photos of past legends from the 40's, 50's all dressed to the nines at various fancy parties the stars would attend in the old days.. Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Lucille and Desi etc. and of course Walt himself.. Just really cool and something you don't see anywhere else.. This place is all class.. This is not a sandal wearing bring your kids to eat type of restaurant.. So make reservations, put some decent clothes on and keep it classy at Steakhouse 55..
(5)Elizabeth G.
Very Very Very worth it! We went on Ash Wednesday while traveling in the area and LOVED it! The steaks were perfect! The potato stack side was delicious! They also bring fresh baked bread that is amazing! We compare the steak/food to LeCellier at WDW...excellent from top to bottom. Quaint, lovely and very recommended!!
(5)Oscar R.
Pretty good porterhouse steak..no complaints there..sides were all good also..thanks yelp..

My wife and I came on a late Tuesday evening. The restaurant not well marked outside is next to goofy's kitchen and the conference center of Disneyland hotel. We arrived a little early for our reservation at 720. We were escorted to the bar while waiting for our table. I ordered a K.S. Red ale and they poored a K.S wheat ( just cause it has Karl Strauss on it doesn't make it the same beer. The keg had tapped so she went to the kitchen and ended up bringing a gold beer. I'm not a beer snob but any beer drinker knows a red ale isn't gold. She brought me a hefeweizen. I explained this wasn't the right beer and she had to go scrummage for the right one. she later explained they were removing the beer from the list. Why not save yourself some time and explain that from the get go instead of bringing me a beer that i didn't choose. Moving on.. We got seated at 7:36 Dinner was good be carful of not ordering to many sides. They aren't individual size sides they are more like family size. Our waiter Al was friendly and on point with his recommendations. (He did warn us about ordering to many sides) my wife had a filet mignon and I had a ribeye both cooked correctly and very tasty. But nothing to special. Over all it was a good steak house. I would have gave it 4 stars if they didn't try and pull a fast one with the beer, and we would have been seated close to our reservation time.

Great place! is quiet, classy, and great food! Went for my bday and took my family. My mom has allergies and all were great handling this! Nick our server was a true gentleman and our assistant servers and busser were amazing!!!! The chef came out to check on my mom throughout the meal! It was great! I will never go to another steakhouse again this is my go to place! This place truly captured what Disney magic is about! This place had got the core values of the company down! Nick again thank you for making my family feel so special and welcomed!
(5)Bill B.
I by nature am cheap. I hate it when I splurge and am disappointed. I recently ate there with my wife and it may of been one of the best meals I have ever eaten. Cost with tip without drinks was about $150. Tip, anniversary or birthdays get a fantastic desert to share. Tip 2, get there before park closes when they have rush as is true for all Downtown Disney restaurants. I took all the suggestions from my server and was not disappointed.
(5)Joy C.
Nice juicy ribeye all the way! This is my second time at this hidden restaurant tucked away at the Disneyland Hotel. This place is a nice getaway from the tourist crowds in the park and your typical theme park foods. Second time around the best things to order from here are the following: 1) Bone in ribeye 18oz $39: Medium rare will cause you to have a burst of juicy tender flavor in your mouth. 2) Potato Gratin: Perfection and just enough to eat with someone because it's rich in flavor. Watch out! 3) Green beans with applewood bacon: That's right "bacon"! Can't go wrong with a dish that has bacon. Smoky and flavorful green beans. This place will be our family's 2nd option to Lawry's.
(4)tina l.
Delicious! I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday. Saw the great reviews on Yelp so I thought I'd give it a try. Parking: We valet parked. I believe it's free with validation. Just need to tip them. Location: We came through the Disneyland Hotel. Asked the concierge how to get to the restaurant, and he gave us what seemed like basic directions. We got so lost! You have to go out of the hotel and into another building. It's right next to Goofy's Kitchen's entrance. The outside of the restaurant looks like a lounge. There's the hostess table outside and they walk you into the restaurant. The Ambiance: It's not too dark and not too bright inside. I love the photos of the old Hollywood actors on the walls. It gives it a classy yet cool vibe. Service: Great service! My boyfriend and I usually get a hit or miss service at these "fancy" restaurants cause we look so young (beige don't age!). They were very attentive and quite entertaining. I got the $40 prefix meal that comes with creme brulee. Since it was my boyfriend's birthday, I asked our waiter for a candle to put on the creme brulee. He came back with the creme brulee and another Mickey Chocolate birthday cake. It was so sweet of him, and the cake was super cute. I was so impressed by their service. The food: Oh dios mio, the food was delicious! I'm not much of a meat person, but the steaks were good. What really impressed me was the strawberry lemonade and their au gratin potatoes. I literally said "wow, that's good!" right after taking a sip of the lemonade. So good, that I ordered another one without even asking if they gave free refills (BTW, they don't... ), but I don't care, it was so good. The au gratin potatoes.... BOMB! It's not too overwhelming where it makes you feel like a thousand pounds after, but oh so savory. I definitely would come back to this place!
(5)Joe T.
This place is awesome. I went here for dinner with a friend and had a really good time. We got lucky as it was a slow night. Recommend reservations for weekends, holidays, etc when the the park is super busy. The steaks were cooled to perfection. The dry rub on the house steak is spectacular. I was going to ask for some steak sauce but after my first taste, it did not need anything. The potatos were spectacular. I am not a big mac and cheese fan but their mac and cheese with bacon bits was awesome. The wine and beer selection is very nice. Service is what you expect from a high end steak shop. The decor is really nice but everyone is dressed pretty casual with it being in the Disney Hotel complex. I would definitely come back here to eat.
(5)David L.
Really surprised how good a dinner I had. Review is for the bar area where I had the prix fixe which included a great flat iron steak. Really well cooked, very beefy and tender. Definitely on the small side though. Surprisingly the restaurant is very crowded, so get a reservation.
(4)Jon M.
Just ate here...the food was ok at best. Wife's steak way under cooked. Crab cakes very bland. Steaks took an hour to get to our table as well.
(2)Mark R.
Best steak dinner in a long time. The food was great, the service was great. We ate at the bar - and had a fantastic experience with the bartender. The food was top notch. Not cheap, but worth it. Enjoy!

For our 3rd Anniversary Dinner we made rsvp at Steakhouse 55 located at the Disneyland Hotel. We figured we might as well use the most of our annual passes and eat fancy with our discount. Its a very cozy dining room with lots of table stacked right next to each other. Dinner was a delicious meal of crab cakes and onion soup to start with and fresh sourdough bread made fresh at Boudin Bakery in the park. We Split the 18oz Ribeye with the Steakhouse 55 seasoning cooked to medium rare. As a side we got the Chef's Potato Stack Au Gratin which was thick, creamy and awesome. We also ordered a bottle of their finest cheapest wine and finished it off. The best part was that we could walk it off in the park, and got a churro for dessert.
(4)Elizabeth A.
The food was good...the lobster bisque was so delicious as well as the seven onion soup. The bread was tasty. The steaks were not too high on the list for me..I have has tastier steaks at carthay circle...we are here to celebrate valentines day and while I'm glad we did, I don't think I'll dine again..carthay circle and blue bayou are my disney favorites....for the money spent and quality if service. Our waitress seemed to be having a lousy day or just didn't want to be there...
(4)Stephanie A.
Let me start off by saying I've currently only eaten here twice and both times were for breakfast. Both times were also mediocre. The first time I ate at Steakhouse 55, I ordered the eggs benedict. Now, I love me some eggs benny, and this place just didn't do it for me. It was alright and definitely not worth the price that they charged. (but alas, it's Disney - of course you pay for the experience a majority of the time). The second time I came for breakfast, I ordered the "two times four," which included: french toast, sausage, eggs, and roasted potatoes. I thought their french toast and roasted potatoes were on point, but the sausage was not edible. I don't know what is going on with the chefs at Steakhouse, but they need to get their act together.
(2)Pauline L.
We were a group of 23 strong, hungry for some breakfast noshing and ready to eat! We were all seated in groups of 4-5 in one of the dining areas, so this place will not put tables together for big groups. My small group had a great server who was brisk and friendly. I got the Eggs Benedict...I love the hollandaise sauce...creamy and not super salty. They got the yolks perfect, firm but not gloopy. Like little sunshine gems. I haven't tried out the dinner here but the breakfast here was very good.
(4)Deborah D.
My friend and I ate at Steakhouse 55 on a Sunday for dinner. We did not have reservations, but we did not have to wait for a table at 7PM. Our appetizers were excellent (crab cakes and shrimp cocktail). Crab cakes were among the best I've ever had. Service was very attentive, but our entrees were lacking. Both of our steaks were very dry; flavorful, but totally dry. We had high hopes after eating our appetizers, but left disappointed. I would not return.
(3)Nancy A.
Food is over salted. For Disney this is the best they have to offer. I say leave the property and find a decent place. The server was the best thing about the place.
(2)Jackie N.
This place is amazing! Made a reservation at 8:00 the Friday before Valentine's day. At first I got a little lost because we weren't sure where we were going. I wouldn't recommend parking at downtown disney during dinner. That place is crazy and you probably might not make it to your reservation. When you first notice Steakhouse 55, on the outside it looks just like a bar/lounge. After that, you will be directed by a sweet old lady (you know, the ones that look like she would bring out a fresh plate of cookies for you) to the main rooms. The ambiance in here was impeccable. Very old-Hollywood glam. The walls are adorned with pictures from the past celebrities. My favorite was with Lucille Ball and Ricky Ricardo. I had the pleasure of sitting underneath it. =D You would think a place like this they would have people coming here dressing nicely but that's not the case. I see people coming here after there day at the park. Whatever floats your boat man. I prefer to dress up. The service here was amazing. I doubt that they would skim on this place. The menu is very limited but that doesn't really matter. Everything on the menu was mouthwatering and if you need help with what cut to order, your waiter is sure to help. Mine did. Appetizer: Crab cakes. Probably the best, expensive and smallest crab cakes I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection. Sauce went well together. Entree: I had the Dry Aged Bone-In New York Strip and my bf had the famous Prime Rib with the special Steakhouse 55 rub. MY GOSH was my steak amazing. First bite was so flavorful and tender, I was salivating. The Prime Rib was undercooked though, he ordered it medium-rare but it came out rare. I told him to tell the waiter so they can get him another one but that didn't matter to him. He kept it because either way it was amazing. -.- Men.... I really didn't like the vegetable/puny salad on the side. It was too bitter for me. Side: The chef's potato au stack. Best side to have with any meat. This had to be one of the downfalls because you have to order separately from your entree. It would have been nice if they have selected a specific side to go with each dish but other than that it was delicious. Dessert: Now this was probably the main reason why I choose this restaurant for Valentine's day. 24-layer chocolate cake! CHYEAH!!!! When that piece of chocolate heaven was handed to me, I dug in and not wait for my bf. If you love chocolate then this is a must or else you deserve to get shot. I convinced my bf to get the Root Beer Baked Alaska and he was glad that I did. The dish was fun and delicious. With a shot glass of root beer float, 2 piece of amazing pound cake/brittle thing, and the Baked Alaska itself. I did expect the Baked Alaska to be bigger though but the taste did not disappoint. Wine: Magicale or something like that. Cheapest wine there and the sweetest. It was a dessert wine but my bf wanted it before the food came out anyways. BEST PLACE TO BRING A HOT DATE HERE THAT'S WORTH TO IMPRESS. ENJOY!

We had early dinner reservations at 5:30 pm. When we got there on the dot we were seated right away and it appeared that we were the first ones in the house. I loved the classy décor here. After a few minutes, our server introduced himself and handed us our menus. Warm and soft yummy bread served with butter soon joined our table. Our server carefully went over the dining options which offered a special holiday prix fixe menu. Though it had nothing to do with this place, when I heard the words prix fixe I cringed. Anyhow we decided to go with their standard menu options. Here's what I ordered: Seven Onion Soup Bone-In Rib-Eye Steak Crème Brulee As I sipped on a glass of their most inexpensive Pinot Noir and chomped on the bread, I inhaled the ambiance and totally felt the love of R&R. My steak served along with the soup, arrived in concert as I've requested. Far from the traditional French onion soup experience, the seven onion soup was tasty in its own unique way. I fork tested the temperature of my steak and immediately discovered that it wasn't the temperature I had ordered. I called our server over to explain the situation and he politely asked me to cut straight through the middle of the rib-eye steak. I know this is standard protocol for restaurants and I happily obliged. As usual I'm right. After all, I do have the Yelp Meathead Badge to prove it! He was very apologetic and sent it back. Minutes later, the new and improved bone-in rib-eye steak was hand-delivered by a kitchen staff. I was asked to test the temperature in her presence. I did my thang and it was perfectly medium-rare and not medium-well! She too apologized for the previous temperature. I said thank you much no worries and no problem... I was eager to dig in. The huge bone-in rib-eye steak was the bomb delicious! Judging from the texture, the marbling in meat was fantastic. Tasty, juicy and cooked to perfection I killed it! The crème brulee was one of the best I've had! I paired it with a glass of Riesling on the dessert list and it was a match made in heaven. No doubt we'll be back. Can't wait to try the 24-Layer Chocolate Cake next time. I dished out a couple of Benjamin's here and it's worth every penny. We all had an awesome experience. Good food and excellent service. Now that's what I'm talkin' about...

This review is for the dinner. Bleh! Their breakfast is actually terrific and I highly recommend it! Now, let's discuss Steakhouse 55. If you have read my review about Club 33, you'll immediately see that I'm not impressed with fancy atmospheres, exclusivity and especially the word of other reviewers when discussing Disneyland. I'll never understand how in the world The Walt Disney Company continues to thrive under the current management, following the business model of 'offering less for more'. I have simply come to the realization that far too many guests of the park are so enthralled by that which Walt created that they honestly lose all sensitivity as to what is good and what is bad and what the true value of a dollar is. Yes, no question, when people enter the park they really 'drink the koolaid' and their brains seem to shutdown. I was recently dragged by some friends to have dinner at Steakhouse 55. I warned them that better meals could be had at local restaurants for the same or less amount of money, but they insisted and I broke my promise to avoid all things Disney. We ordered the fixed price meal, hoping to be surprised and I, especially, was truly hoping that my recent negative experiences with Disney had been reviewed and therein corrected. I wanted so badly to walk out of Steakhouse 55 with a big smile and full tummy. Yeah, that didn't happen. The Bread: OK, something good! Woohoo! The sourdough bread was fresh and hot, delightful crust, wonderful taste, I should have walked out happy after enjoying a few slices and calling it quits. I didn't. The Salad: Cheap iceberg lettuce with approx. 5 croutons. Super sparse, very little quantity, this was truly a salad I would have expected from Denny's or Spires. Note to Chef: There are other lettuces besides iceberg, tell the accountants you'd like a few heads to experiment with. Heads of lettuce that is. Avoid the heads of most Disney managers as you'll find their craniums empty, offering nothing more than the sound of a vacuum being relieved when opened. The Steak: Well, it tasted good, so Disney gets 2 stars! The size however was the usual, total Disney disappointment. I wasn't sure whether to laugh and send it back or simply eat the damn thing and resume my personal oath to avoid Disneyland and their draconian accountants. Ten tiny bites and the steak was colon bound history. This steak made the Chateau at Club 33 seem large! Now, I'm being very honest here, no joking! The steak on my plate was about the size of a shoe heel on a pair of men's wingtips. I was quite astonished by the brazen and uncaring demeanor regarding customer satisfaction and complete lack of value. Side Dish: Disney was kind enough to provide approx. 2 ounces of shoe string French fries, approx. cost to them, 8 cents. Seriously, this was such a let down. Dessert: Well, the portion size of the creme brûlée was actually decent. The taste was good, but it was slightly overcooked and stiff in texture. Sadly the caramelized sugar atop was slightly burned and this was strongly reflected in the taste. Still, not too bad, probably just someone in the kitchen playing Smaug with the propane torch. Service: The bussing staff was very efficient and the hostess was polite. The waiter was alright, not very friendly, he seemed to be on auto-pilot. Order. Eat. Pay. Leave. Would We Go Back?: Hmm, let me think... NO! Except for breakfast, Steakhouse 55 is really not worth the money. I would strongly recommend visiting them for breakfast but their dinners are simply not worth the money. Don't fall into the ambiance and don't buy into the facade that it's Walt's steakhouse or something vintage and unique. It's not. If you want nostalgia mixed with terrific food visit The Musso & Frank's Grill, Tam O'Shanter, or The Smokehouse. Avoid the fabricated Hollywood ambiance of Steakhouse 55 and opt for the real deal. If you're in Anaheim and you must have steak, stick to Ruth's Chris, Morton's, or perhaps enjoy the new $33.00 meals at Ralph Brennans. Save yourself the grief and avoid Steakhouse 55. Heck, you'll get a better meal at Outback Steakhouse and that's probably kangaroo!

Do not eat a big lunch before you eat here for dinner! You need to save room in your stomach for the deliciousness that you are going to be experiencing! The prix fix dinner was the perfect portion...came with fresh green beans and garlic fries. The steak was topped with the most perfect garlic butter...so good! The prime rib was perfectly medium rare and melted in your mouth. The size of the prime rib was huge! Can't wait to go back and try all their side dishes...since I will have room in my stomach next time, I will be partaking in the loaf of bread placed on the table. It looked crunchy on the outside and even tho I couldn't see the inside, I imagine it would be soft and yummy. Service was ok but the person who refilled our water (Alfredo) was super nice and friendly...very much a gentleman. I can't wait to go back! Gotta save up since it was definitely not cheap and download an app for a reading light since it was really dark...but I WILL be back!

Finally had a date night with the hubby after months! He decided to surprise me and take me out to Steakhouse 55. He made a reservation for 8pm. We get there about 10 minutes early and checked in. They couldn't find our reservation and said that it would be about 30 minutes. After some argument and having to prove our reservation, they finally agreed to seat us at our 8pm designated time. Our waitress was Berenice, and she was great. Very accommodating and sweet. She made sure to constantly check in on us. Food: I ordered the price fixed menu for $40 which included a Caesar salad, flat iron steak, and creme brûlée dessert. My hubby got the rib eye. We also had some scallops for appetizer and a side of asparagus. The scallops were cooked to perfection. It was topped off with some ginger and soy glaze. However there was too much pepper. As good as it was, the pepper overwhelmed the other flavors. The salad was ok. Nothing great. It wasn't fresh and just bland. My flat iron steak was perfectly cooked and juicy. I opted for medium rare. It was flavorful and so good! However, that pepper again was overwhelming. Each bite was filled with pepper which really took away from the juicy taste of the meat. The asparagus was ok. Not really great. The creme brûlée was wonderful! It was large enough to share and it wasn't too sweet. The served some cookies, I think one was short bread on the side which was placed together by a candy cane type holder. Beautiful presentation and very tasty. The food would have been 4 stars because of the overwhelming pepper placed on all the entrees. It's 3 stars because of the hassle of having to sit and call back Disney dining to prove that we had a reservation. I would give 3.5 if I could. Oh and the ambiance was great. Very romantic elegant feel. Perfect for date night. The only down side was that there were some families around us, and it did kill our mood a little bit. We left the kiddies to get away so we weren't too pleased to be surrounded with them that night. I would go back again, but I will ask to have them take it easy on the pepper.

This is my favorite steakhouse. Consistently delicious steaks, salads, sides, desserts, and drinks. Very classy atmosphere: dark woods, old pictures of Hollywood celebrities on the walls, bottles of booze in fancy glass display cases. It's also a nice break from the crazy crowds of Disneyland. After a long, hot, borderline miserable day navigating through the throngs of stinky mouth breathers, Steakhouse 55 offers a nice respite: cool, dark, and full of good food and drink. This place can be expensive, but of Disney's three upscale restaurants (Napa Rose and Carthay Circle being the other two), Steakhouse 55 is probably the cheapest and most accessible.

Located in the lobby of the Disneyland hotel, the concierge recommended this restaurant when we couldn't get into Napa Rose. Steakhouse 55 is a Ruth's Chris style steak house, where everything is ordered separately. We stared off with a cosmo in the lounge, and it was way too sweet - but trust me it went down just fine after 2 days in the Magic Kingdom! Our meal: - Onion Soup: not a fave at all. Some tiny croutons in the bottom of the bowl, then the soup poured in. No gooey cheese, just some bland onion & broth. I want a crock of bubbling cheesy goodness. I wish they had told me it was a deconstructed version of the classic. - Popcorn shrimp: What you'd expect - more like festival food, but the kids woofed 'em down. - Filet: Perfectly cooked, and served with a side of home made bernaise (upon request). The hubby & kids loved their steaks. - Bone in Rib Eye Their signature dish, and really fantastic. There is a crusty rub, almost blackened and it is tender and juicy. It's also pretty pricey at 37.00. - Side: Macaroni and cheese with bacon. Anything with bacon is better, but this was really a tasty treat. Very cheesy & adult in flavor. No yellow cheese here. - Side: Garlic Mashed potatoes: Goopy & gloppy. Pass these up, they're not creamy at all. I felt like we got the serving that had been sitting out for a while. - Side: Broccoli: Nicely done & cool presentation. - Dessert: Chocolate flourless chocolate cake - VERY tasty, and garnished with a fluttering piece of gold leaf that looked like a little angel. This was perfect with our last glass of red wine. Overall, it was good. Not great, considering the price. The service was very attentive, which is always a plus. But the meal was all over the place between sub-par & over the top. If you're in Disneyland, it's a great adult option. No pirate masks... yippee!

(+) Bone-in ribeye was delicious! I started eating the meat off the bone with mah hands! oonmomoonmmm! (+) Porterhouse. What beats multiple steaks in one large one? (+) Steaks about ~$30-$40. It was tooootally worth it! (+) Choice of a dry-aged new york steak (+) Baked Alaska for dessert! Sooo yummy P: (+) AP discount! (+) Ton of cool things to look at while waiting for our table (-) Waiter was a lil awkward... He didn't speak much and I didn't know when to respond to him when he just looks at me, expecting me to say something w/o first asking us (-) Au Gratin was good but a bit overpriced for the amount you get

Celebrated our eight year anniversary here September 2, 2014. Made reservations a month in advance and arrived ten minutes early. Waited over thirty minutes to be seated. Once inside, our waitress for the night was Gloria. Immediately, we were treated differently from other, older patrons. She was not warm, welcoming, or kind. There was no mention of our anniversary though I had confirmed it in the reservation. I had to mention it halfway through our meal. I asked for celebration buttons and she sighed, obviously annoyed with me. A few minutes later a lovely cast member brought over buttons and wished us a happy anniversary. I wish they had been out waitress. I kept waiting for the night to get better but it didn't. Food was good, but it was incredibly hard not to walk out and go eat somewhere else, Gloria's attitude was painful to endure. It was so bad because she treated other guests better. I've never experienced this with a restaurant before. When we got home that night, we were both very sick. It was similar to a stomach virus, so we spent our anniversary night fighting over the toilet. Romantic. I hope others have a better experience here. Disney, you did not live up to my expectations. Our eight year anniversary dinner does not hold the memories I wish it could have.

I received a wonderful recc. for this place (Thanks Chad!) at breakfast time. Previously i'd only experienced their dinner service - which was delish also. What can I say? Breakfast was a delight. I ordered the french toast with bananas fosters and my fiance had the oatmeal. DIsney oatmeal is always delicious but the french toast was a great surprise. The french toast itself was a little crispier than I like but the bananas fosters on the side was excellent. Perfect amount of carmel with bite size banana pieces perfect for dipping a bit of french toast in. My coffee cup was never less than half full and the place only had a few tables filled. A nice change from other popular breakfast spots in and around DL.

Just had dinner here last week while my family and I were visiting Disneyland. The service was meh, but I was very surprised at how wonderful the food was. We had the ahi appetizer and I had the signature rib eye and it was amazing. I would recommend the place for sure!
(5)Lauren E.
Pretty good place to have dinner at the Disneyland Resort. A little pricey and they really don't take fine dining seriously with the people that they let in. I do wish they would enforce a dress code. It would make the experience more enjoyable. Food is great, service is great. Definitely a good stop for a nice dinner.

This place is perfect for a last minute date night or impromptu dinner. We were able to make same-day reservations on a Saturday night and enjoyed a walk around Downtown Disney before and after dinner. The servers are very prompt, attentive, and knowledgeable about the items on the menu. The sommelier added a nice touch to the dining experience and helped us pick the right wine for our food. The complimentary fresh baked bread is nice and flaky on the outside and fluffy on the inside making it hard to ease up on the bread when you have a large meal ahead of you. The prices are decent and the casual dress code helps make this a non-intimidating atmosphere. Drinks: THE SIDECAR- Amazing, refreshing, recommended. Appetizers: The SCALLOPS were to die for, but I was a bit disappointed that there were only two on our plate. Entrees: I understand that this is a steakhouse and you usually order the sides for your steak separately, but I didn't think this went for the whole menu. My manfriend ordered the RIB EYE- cooked medium. The steak was perfect in every way. The outside had a nice crust and grill marks, perfectly cooked, and well seasoned. The downside was the PRIME RIB I ordered. It was underseasoned, undercooked, and COLD! While I had them reheat it for me, I hear 2 other people complain. They say the prime rib is roasted for 6 hours, but it is probably re-heated per order. Also, my side of asparagus with hollandaise sauce was cold and underseasoned. We did not stay for dessert. This steakhouse is good as a LAST RESORT. Again, service is great, but food- not so great. I docked off one star for the small appetizer & the unsatisfactory side. Another star docked off for the disappointing prime rib.

While, this has been our go-to special occasion/nice dinner out restaurant for years, this was our first time since the menu overhaul. Many of my favorite things are gone but we thought we'd try it out anyhow. The new onion soup is good but it cant touch the old one with those amazing cheese bits and it being poured right at the table. The steak was good and our daughters kids meal was good. Our waitress, on the other hand, was basically non-existent. She was very patient while we asked about the new menu items and gave us good suggestions, but once she took our order she never came back. Not once. We could see and hear Selena giving the history of the restaurant name to several tables but she never came to check on us. I would have loved to order a dessert since we were celebrating my birthday, but I guess she decided there was to be no Disney magic for me this year. Alfredo was funny and polite when he came to collect our plates and work his "magic" with his crumb scraper. After 30 minutes of waiting around, we had to get another waitress to bring our check so we could just leave. Not at all what we have come to expect from Disney.

Boyfriend took me here for my birthday this year. The food was amazing. I was so full after. The risotto was great and the steaks melted in your mouth. The root beer baked Alaska was surprisingly good as well.

Nestled inside the Disneyland Hotel is this amazing restaurant. The first time I stumbled upon this place happened to be a few years ago when I couldn't make last minute reservations for the chef's counter at Napa Rose at the Disney Grand Californian. I knew Disney restaurants were good, I just never expected Steakhouse 55 to become my favorite place for steaks years later. As you enter the hotel and walk towards the den in which the restaurant is located in, you'll walk past one of the prettiest painting of Disneyland you'll ever see. Then you'll be greeted warmly by your host who will seat you within a couple of minutes. The service here is impeccable. Unlike most steakhouses that have servers boast how their cuts are made or how their steaks are cooked, Steakhouse 55 simply lets it's dishes do the talking. When I want steak, this is the only place I come to now. A couple of friends convinced me to go out for steaks with them at other places at a couple of places on restaurant row for dineLA and afterwards, it simply reminded me how much better Steakhouse 55 is than the rest. Usually, I pick a starter from one of these three dishes: Soy-glazed barbecue short ribs, dungeness crab cake with saffron sauce, or calamari with spicy aioli. Then it's followed by the entree. Whether you choose the New York strip, Filet Mignon, Prime Rib, Lamb, Rib Eye, or my personal favorite Porterhouse. You can't go wrong with any of those selections. Order the yukon gold garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed mushroom sides to share, and you're in for one of the best dinners you can possibly have. I know what you're thinking. This place can't be perfect. It has to have a flaw. There's one thing that makes me sad about this place. About three years ago, they had the perfect pie a la mode on their dessert menu. It was so amazing, I ordered two dishes. And normally, I'm not a big dessert guy. I made sure I was going to come back in a month or so to have that dessert again. When I came back, the dish was taken off the menu. I was shocked. How could they possibly take out something so amazing! I'm not exaggerating. My friend who went with me at the time can vouch for me. We've written to Disneyland a couple of times asking when they are bringing that dish back. They've replied thanking us for our comments but never answered our question. This led me to go out in search for that perfect pie a la mode but I have yet to find it besides here that one time. Sorry for the long post; I just couldn't do this place justice with a short entry. In summary, how good is this place? Would I prefer this place over Napa Rose if I came to Disneyland? Napa Rose has fancier food that is presented nicer and has more variety... but in terms of just quality of food, I'll give Steakhouse 55 the slightest edge. That's really saying something.

Disney CA has been difficult to get food for allergies. Pre planning was a bust as that department refused to give any information for winter 2013. We were just about to pack it up and go home early when we happened to find this restaurant. (Probably not as the air change fees are so high but we would have found somewhere a lot happier.) Story Tellers does good for allergies but you can only take so many characters. Breakfast is done right at this restaurant for my simple allergy. Atmosphere is pleasant but I always feel underdressed. Cost is reasonable. It is too bad CA Disney allergy support made it so difficult this trip that I'm most likely never visiting CA Disney again. I liked this restaurant.

We actually came here only because our reservations at another restaurant got lost. We were on our honeymoon, we were extremely bummed about our original reservations, and it was late (well in our book at least). We arrived at Steakhouse 55 after 8:30 PM asked if we'd be able to still get a table and gave them our sob story. Well lucky for us we were there in the off season, getting a table was no problem, and they were more than happy to cheer us up while we were feeling down. Started up with cocktails, then ordered calamari for an appetizer, which was delicious! Crispy, not greasy, the breading was flavored great, and they had the tentacles too! I hate when they don't have the tentacles. My husband had the rib eye, this is the only rib eye I have ever had that literally melts in your mouth as if it was a filet Mignon! I had the pistachio encrusted rack of lamb. It was amazing! The pistachio crust was more like a pistachio pesto that complimented the lamb like nothing else. For sides we had garlic mashed potatoes, equally amazing and garlic green beans. Now I make my green beans at home with sauteed garlic also, but I don't know what it they do to make these things so special!!!! I couldn't stop eating them, they were crisp and had the perfect amount of garlic I kept eating them like they were french fries! The service was amazing also, of course. They really did save the night. We were also told that they were known for the best breakfast, so we came back the next morning. I have to say that you may not think it, but they have the best value breakfast in the resort. The prices range from $9-$12 for everything from waffles, pancakes, bacon and eggs, to their famous eggs benedict and the portions are huge! We love having breakfast in the park at Carnation Cafe, but for the same price we can eat here with a bigger bang for your buck! Next trip we are definitely coming back!

I want to give this place 4 stars, but I can't allow myself to do so because of the steaks. first off, the reason i want to give this place 4 stars is because the service is absolutely amazing, the sides (we got Chef's Potato Stack Au Gratin, Mac and cheese, and sauteed green beans) were really good. We also got the 24 layer chocolate cake and Creme Brulee, which were really good as well. The reason i gave this place 3 stars is because the steaks weren't on par with their sides, service, and desserts...after all, this place is a steakhouse right? My party got the following: New York Strip(medium), Filet Mignon(medium rare), Bone-in Ribeye (medium rare), and the flat iron steak(medium) from the Prix-Fixe. I was lucky enough to taste all the different steaks, and i was not very impressed. I understand that it's at a disney resort, which might be why it costs so much. If you're looking for a good steak, but don't care about the disney aspect look around.

Wow, incredible dinner. We went for our anniversary . DJ was our server, and he was great with solid suggestions. We brought out own bottle of wine ($20 corkage) because we wanted to drink a bottle we had bought in Italy 9 years ago. I asked about aeration and a filter since it was old and he wheeled out the wine toy cart. Different grains of filters, different aerators, really amazing wine service, and DJ waived the corkage fee as an anniversary gift!!! We shared the bone-in rib eye, rubbed with their seasonings. It was absolutely amazing. My wife wanted the blue cheese topping, but I always want my steak un-touched by sauces or toppings (just the rub and the cow please), so we ordered it on the side, and they still melted it as if it were on the steak - great touch. We had the au gratin stack and the green beans. The au gratin were good, nothing to write home about, but the green beans were absolutely amazing. I asked DJ how they were prepared, and a few minutes later the head chef came to our table to explain exactly how he prepares them!! Beyond ridiculous service. We were going to order the 24 layer chocolate cake, but the chocolate mouse tart that came with fresh raspberries for our anniversary was so rich and amazing that we didn't need anything else. I would recommend this place highly to anyone, and the extra premium passholder discount that you don't get at the Napa Rose made it that much sweeter.
(5)Jay C.
I love my meat medium rare and steakhouse 55 disappointed me. My steak was almost well done and the seasoning was lacking the taste. I was so excited to eat here and compare it to napa rose and in reality theres no comparison. I was also disappointed with the lack of service. We seriously had to get the waiters attention to refill my water. It was a bit sad because we had high expectation knowing that its a disney steakhouse.
(3)AJ R.
This is a pretty serious steak house for its surroundings.....considering there is another place across the hall with a line of people with strollers and crying children. I have to admit I didnt have very high expectations for this place. But I have to say that I liked it quite a bit. Almost every other steakhouse I have been to when you order you get a salad, soup, a loaf of bread etc etc but this place does everything ala carte - which I really dislike. Especially for the prices, there is really much less value in this place than just about any other restaurant that I have ever been to. But that's Disneyland - if you're not ready to be gouged you're in the wrong place. Think Vegas but friendlier and with less prostitutes. But I digress....the food is very good, the service is very good it's just poor value for the money. Probably the best place to eat anywhere near D Land though.
(4)Danielle R.
I took the family here for my husband's birthday, while we just happened to be vacationing at Disneyland. I wanted to try Napa Rose, however, one of my kids is a picky eater and I knew they would never eat anything there. This was a nice alternative. It was a short walk from the park through Downtown Disney, and nestled in the Disneyland Hotel. On the surface, it appeared rather stuffy, but we were seated quickly, and our waiter was very friendly and laid back while still professional. He made recommendations, we took him up on it, and the food was delicious. Of course, they had simpler food for my picky one too. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Plus, we just happened to be sitting next to one of the Disney Imagineers, which made for fascinating conversation!
(5)Kathy A.
A number of our company team members stayed at Disneyland hotel last week and had breakfast at Steakhouse 55. Great service and great breakfast menu. Accommodated the large group without missing a beat. Menu prices were great. Had such a wonderful breakfast the first time my husband and I came back two additional times for breakfast. The Huevos Rancheros is off the chart.
(5)V L.
The waiter was nice and attentive. The drinks were good. The ambience was classy. However the portions and quality of the food for the price you pay for is overpriced. It didn't taste bad, I just had betters steaks at cheaper steak houses I've been to. Filet mignon should cut like butter this did not. The sides were good. The rolls were really tasty. The onion soup I ordered came in a giant bowl but the portion was about the size of maybe a ladle and a half.

After an exhausting day in the parks dinning options were quite limited in the downtown Disney Area as many of the restaurant's were pushing 1-2 hour wait times. We decided to go back to the DisneyLand Hotel where we were staying and check out Steakhouse 55 which is right next to Goofy's Kitchen. It was a breath of fresh air to finally break away from the cattle of crowds and into a hidden jewel of Disney. Wait time was only a few minutes, so we took the opportunity to enjoy a glass of wine in the waiting area which featured a full bar and comfortable seating decor quite fitting for this upscale steak house. The food and service was impeccable. My wife and I split the pork chop and my parents split a steak with sides of broccoli and asparagus. Outstanding wine collection. Ambiance, which is something I am big on was filled with upscale classical music so you don't have the irritation of listening to people eat. Table settings were classic and clean. Lighting was slightly dimd not to dark or light. Pricing was just right without any Disney surcharge. Yes, I will be back again.

This restaurant has a lot of history to it. Originally named Granville's after Bonita Granville the wife of one of the major investors of the Disneyland Hotel. The restaurant has been here a long time. The service is always very good.
(4)Danielle D.
This restaurant went the extra mile to make my husband's birthday dinner a wonderful night. The food was great - the steak with the house rub was seasoned just right and each side (mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and Mac n cheese) was full of flavor. The drinks were potent - and magical with light-up ice cubes! The service was the best! Our waiter made great recommendations and was knowledgable about everything, including the pictures of celebrities adorning the dining room. Every place setting, refill, and order was placed, adjusted and cleaned in an efficient and professional manner. We'll be back!

Something has gone wrong, this was one of or favorites for steak and lamb, now the service has really gone down, and the food was all late, wrong, or cold,. a major disappointment, I hope they can fix there problems as there are few really good restraints .

This place never disappoints me. Everything on their menu is good, especially their ribeye...so big and so good! Desserts are amazing! The staff and service here are excellent at what they do.

I am not a steak fan but my boyfriend is. And it was his birthday. So, ta-dah! Birthday steaks on me!!! He had the bone-in rib-eye, I had the filet mignon (I had my heart set on the lobster tail but market price was $48 and it wasn't my birthday....). We got the mashed potatos and green beans with bacon. For dessert, my boyfriend got a complimentary chocolate mousse cake pastry but we also ordered the root beer baked Alaska and didn't even touch the chocolate cake. Everything we ate was delicious and our plates were completely empty by the end of our meal. The root beer basked Alaska was especially impressive - served with a root bear float shot, buttery pound cake and root beer ice cream/pound cake enveloped in perfectly torched meringue. I think we ordered our sides incorrectly because what we really wanted was stacked smashed potato or something. My boyfriend insists that we'll get it the next time we come back. It was his birthday and I didn't have the heart to tell him that after dining at Steakhouse 55 once, I don't really feel the need to come back. The food and experience were great and all - but it is pricey and there are better dining establishments at the Disneyland Resort (mainly the Napa Rose at the Grand Californian Hotel). I even asked him if given a choice would he rather eat at Steakhouse 55 or Napa Rose and he chose the latter (good boy). Eating at Steakhouse 55 is an experience though and that's why I'm giving it 4 stars. It feels swanky, classy, and like a legitimate fancy steakhouse that can compete with the best of them (Ruth's Chris, Mortons, etc.) Best part of all (aside from the root beer baked Alaska)...annual passholders get a discount!!!! Birthday steaks with a discount on me!!!

I'll keep it (semi) short and sweet. Do note that I'm a slightly atypical reviewer, being that I'm a vegetarian. This is one of the best dining experiences you can have on property. Not quite as nice (nor is it as expensive) as Napa Rose (at The Grand Californian), but a truly lovely dining experience. Skip Carthay Circle, (which was a little bit of a let down, IMO), and come here. You'll still have money left over to try the appetizers and bar fare at Carthay Circle, with the money you save on a comparable meal. The service is great. The decor is nice, but still casual enough for you to feel comfortable should you chose to wear the clothes you had on in the park. Reminds me a little bit of The Brown Derby, at Hollywood Studios, in Orlando. Last note, they were very accommodating to my vegetarian dietary preference. Our server even sent out the chef to help me creat my own entree. Simply put, come here. You will enjoy yourself. And make sure you save room for the oversized slice of chocolate cake!

I will never forget how bad of an experience I had here. My boyfriend and I were out for his birthday dinner after a day at Disneyland. We're both 22. As soon as our waiter saw us, that was it for him. We were young, so we weren't going to order and we weren't going to tip. However, that was not the case, because I was ready to spend some money on a great dinner for his birthday. After not ordering wine or drinks because we were both tired and dehydrated from a long day at Disneyland in May, our service basically just stopped. He would walk by our table ignoring us. Not come refill our water through the dinner. We had to ask other servers for basic things because he would turn his head as he walked by us! I was outraged! I couldn't believe that we were treated so poorly at a Disneyland restaurant. The food was good. I guess if you are mature enough to be there, then you will be treated fine.

Anniversary dinner. My husband had the porterhouse steak and thought it was good ,but he prefers Ruth Chris. I had the filet mignon and I LOVED it! It was tender and flavorful. My only gripe is that they charge you $4.00 for the 55 butter to be added to your steak. I think it should either be added to the price of the steak or automatically be included with your steak. For such a upscale restaurant it shouldn't be $4.00 to add the butter on the steak. Kind of tacky. Ruth Chris & Flemings both have it added to the steak price. The garlic mashed potatoes were flavorful and we both loved them. Too sweet....our server David brought us an Anniversary chocolate mousse cake & it was so good and made our anniversary that much more special. I am an annual pass holder & forgot to use my card to get the 20% discount. Porterhouse steak Filet mignon 1 mashed potatoes 1 soda & I had water Chocolate mousse cake(complimentary for anniversary) = $103.00 I would most definitely return!!

Walt knew what he was doing. Welcome to Steakhouse 55. A place where all ages are welcome (+ when you have a 2 year old and no Ipad in sight) and friendly staff around every table. The GM welcomed us at the start and offered a special wine tasting on our next trip as their selection is vast. Not terribly overpriced as the food was exceptional. Out of the 6 dishes ordered (3 adults / 1 2 yr old), the adult portioned Mac N' Cheese was the winner for our child. His palate is quite refined as he pointed out "blue cheese yummy". The service was all smiles from start to finish and the follow-up dessert is a must. normally not a big fan of desserts, but the 2 we tried were terrific. The following items were the biggest stand-outs during the night: Calamari with Spicy aoili. 8 oz Filet (medium rare). Prix Fix Menu for $40 (great value).Vanilla Bean Cheesecake was a must. I normally refuse to even try cheesecake and this one i would go back for thirds...no joke. Visited May 2012

Our server was martin and he was a doll. Everything from the bread, wine, salad, filet, asparagus, potatos, and the chocolate cake were mind blowing. This is a gem that I will be telling everyone about. If you like crab get you steak oscar style. Its got a crab cake on it and the cake is pure crab an no filler. Truly amazing meal! Prices were perfect also!

Well, of course over priced food. What do you expect you're at the happiest place on earth. Steak or the chicken wasn't really out of this world. What did take me away was the mushroom and creamed spinach.

Had the best dinner ever! The lobster bisque was to die for as was the risotto. It melted in your mouth with the perfect creaminess. Chef Ramsey would be proud! Our fillets were cooked perfectly and we used butter knives to cut them. David was a great server! Was the best dinner we had in a long time. However it was quite pricy but so is everything at Disney. So worth the price!

Only at the happiest place on Earth do you get the opportunity to dine with such a glamorous, funny couple. yelp.com/user_local_phot… Even though they didn't say much, they were still lovely dinner companions. Steakhouse 55, which is located inside the Disneyland Hotel, is one of the classier, more upscale restaurants at the Disneyland Resort. The décor and ambiance at SH55 is very elegant. The dining room is dimly lit by small chandeliers. The walls are covered with big black and white photos of famous people who have dined at the restaurant in the past. My fiancé and I had reservations for SH55 for 5:30pm, right when they opened their doors for the evening. After waiting in the lounge for five minutes we were taken to our table. As soon as we were seated they immediately brought us water and freshly baked sourdough bread and butter. The bread was nice and crispy on the outside and was warm and fluffy on the inside. The butter was more like margarine. It spread really easily without tearing the bread. To start the evening we split an iceberg wedge salad with a Gorgonzola dressing. This salad was perfect for sharing because it was pretty big. I loved the fact that they actually put big chunks of Gorgonzola cheese in their dressing and on the wedge itself. Right when we finished our salad our entrées arrived at our table. This is what we had for dinner: Me- 18oz Bone in Ribeye Topped with Blue Cheese Fiancé- 10oz Filet Mignon Topped with Blue Cheese Bacon Mac and Cheese Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed Potatoes Both my Ribeye and my Fiancés filet mignon were amazing. My big hunk of beef was so juicy and flavorful and cooked to medium rare perfection. The Ribeye was seasoned with their signature Steakhouse 55 rub, which gave it an awesome taste. Both of our steaks were generously covered with salty blue cheese, which only added to their awesomeness. The Yukon mashed potatoes were super creamy, buttery and delicious. The bacon mac was the only disappointment of the evening. Don't get me wrong, it was not that it was uneatable, it's just was a little dry and definitely not as cheesy as it should have been, especially since it was made with four different cheeses. To wash down our meals we had some sangria's, which were made really strong. For dessert we shared a root beer baked Alaska. For those of you who have never had a baked Alaska, it's almost like a mini ice cream cake. The outside is made up of a marshmallow like shell that has been baked and crisped on the top. The inside of this was filled with root beer ice cream. Served with the baked Alaska was two tiny pieces of vanilla pound cake and a mini root beer float. This dessert was absolutely phenomenal. It was the perfect way to end a wonderful meal. The service at SH55 was top notch. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Every time our waters were half full they were immediately refilled and every time they removed a plate from our table, they swept up the crumbs. The prices at SH55 are actually great. My Ribeye was only $36 dollars, which is less than other steak houses like Ruth Chris or Morton's. If you're ever at Disneyland and find yourself craving a big slab of beef, then head on over to the Disneyland hotel and check out SH55. This place is especially perfect for a romantic dinner with your significant other. And if you're an annual pass holder, you get a nice discount.

I've been to Steakhouse 55 on four different occasions and each time, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. I'm big on filet, so that's all that I've ordered there, but each time it has been cooked to perfection and incredibly delicious. Over the four visits, we've had the au gratin potatoes, yukon gold mashed potatoes, sauteed green beans, broccoli baked with parmesan, and sauteed creamed spinach. I would 110% pick the au gratin potatoes of the five options above. They mix of cheese is delectable and the potatoes are always cooked to perfection. On our last visit during New Years, we were treated to a complimentary dessert because were we "newlyweds" (3 months later...). Again, delicious. The best part of all four visits? They offer my all-time favorite dessert wine, the Inniskillin Ice Wine. It's expensive, but it's hard to find in restaurants, and always worth it. We have annual passes and get our discount and even so, dinner is quite pricey. That's the only reason I give Steakhouse 55 four stars instead of five.

Our first time in Disneyland (and super excited to be here)! Being from San Francisco and world class cuisine we expected a let down considering they were charging Prime meat prices for Choice cuts, we were pleasantly surprised our first night here. Tried the signature onion soup which was nice, then the signature steak; great seasonings and decent steak. Enjoyed so much we came back our lady night. Bit of a mistake. Server was pleasant but no where to be seen. Tried the wedge salad as a change and the 20 oz rib eye. Well the salad is what I imagine sizzler serves and the rib eye was thinner than what you get at Safeway. I'd be stunned if that was even choice. In any event nice atmosphere but don't waste your money if you want a good steak, go to San Francisco for a prime steak.

This restaurant is located in the Disneyland Hotel. It's actually quite reasonably priced for a steakhouse, especially a steakhouse within the curtilage of the most famous theme park in the world. Corkage fee is $20; split fee is $5.

This place was amazing! Came here for dinner for our anniversary dinner with my girlfriend and our second time visiting Disneyland. The reviews on here is very accurate and pretty much on the dot with the service, atmosphere, and the food! Made the reservation at 5:30PM, right about when they opened up. My girlfriend and I were still at Disneyland enjoying the rides before the big crowd showed up on the weekend. So we arrived at the Disneyland Hotel and at the Steakhouse 55 lounge area around 5:40PM. Waited maybe a couple of minutes and were seated in a nice secluded booth from the rest of the crowd, so it seemed very private and quiet, which my girlfriend thought it was a big plus! Right as we sat down, water was quickly poured for us and a loaf of (I believe it was sourdough) bread came to our table. Nice and warm loaf, crusty on the outside, very soft and moist in the inside, with the softest butter that spread easily. Their wine selection was outstanding and depending on your taste, had many types to choose from. From other reviewers I heard that the meals were big, so we decided to choose to split the wedge salad together, ordered a entree for each other, and ordering one side per person. The wedge salad with Gorgonzola dressing was excellent! We split the salad (which they actually split the salad for us - which was excellent service) was a good piece of iceberg lettuce, with a nice ripe tomatoe slice, the ingredients were simple, but the taste was phenomenal! My girlfriend ordered the Prime Rib (Medium) and I ordered their Kurobuta Pork chops, with sides of asparagus with hollindase sauce and scalloped potatoes. The pork chop was very tender and flavorful with their special rub and the sides were very tasty. My girlfriend's Prime Rib was just very tender, melts in your mouth almost! The horseradish sauce that came with it was just amazing! It was very light, but still had that kick, which was just unbelievable went well with the prime rib! The only bummer thing was that even though we were celebrating our anniversary, the other reviewers here received special complimentary dessert from the restaurant when they were celebrating a special occasion, but unfortunately we didn't. Tried to kind of hint them to the server, but it didn't went well :( Oh well, next time I suppose All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience a nice place for any special occasion to experience Disneyland's' top notch quality service! Can't wait to go back to dine here again! Other tips we encountered: 1.)The restaurant is very careful and accommodates with people who has certain allergies. We were sitting next to a table with a woman who had gluten allergies and the chef personally came out to talk to the woman to accommodate her dining selection. Now that's quality service! 2.) We parked our car in the valet to give my girlfriend the special treat and it was so nice to hear from the actual Disneyland Hotel parking attendees and even the valet people to go get our parking ticket validated in the restaurant, which gave us an additional 5 hours of parking for FREE!! So we left the restaurant without paying anything for parking, just a tip for the valet parking attendee!!

Bob and I stopped in here to speak to Matt, one of the managers. Bob had contacted him several times via e-mail about a group event we were hosting. We got a look at the restaurant and the Oak Room which we were considering for the event. The restaurant was not yet open for the evening, but looked nice; the Oak Room seemed very classic and stylish. We decided to give it a trial run and sat at the bar for drinks and a few appetizers. After some discussion we decided to give it a go. The evening of the event Matt had complimentary appetizers for us and also took us in groups for complimentary wine tasting. My favorite appetizer was the prosciutto wrapped dates topped with goat cheese and pine nuts. The wait staff were very professional and courteous, they saw to our every need. Matt stopped in several times to check on us and for that alone I would give this place a 5. The food however, dropped down the score. I started off with the scallops which were cooked quite well, but could not compare to those at Napa Rose. There was no sauce and the plate just wasn't pretty. My next course was the lobster bisque which I didn't like at all. I don't know if it was a good bisque or not, I have never had it before so I had nothing to compare it to. It may be that I just don't like lobster bisque. At any rate, I gave it away. My entree was the salmon. Again, it was well cooked but there was no sauce and the plating was very plain. Overall I would give them a 3 for the food and will probably never eat there again.

Yes, Yes and Yes!!! After going earlier to Ihop and hardly eating anything there, we walked off that taste and came here for dinner. We love steak, the rib eye steak on bone was my choice, med-well is my taste for red meat... I can say that it was a good choice, the kids had steak with salads and the wife had the Filet Mignon.. She had hers butterflied and cooked well done.. No complaints on her end.. Was it worth it??? Yes, was it expensive?? What ever, we spend more at Ruth Chris Steakhouse in S.F so it doesn't matter.. People please.. spend your money wisely and make sure you try this place. the service was great,, we did not need a reservation,,

We have been going to Steakhouse 55 for years, it was formerly known as Granville's. We have never had a bad meal. We go often for their delicious Steak & Eggs breakfast, as well as great steaks for dinner. Try the Calimari for an appetizer it's a large portion, enough for two to share. Next I always go for the Seven Onion Soup is so good I want to lick the bowl to get every drop, and don't think I haven't thought about it. For the entree try the Fillet Oscar Style & pair it with the huge baked potato. Rarely do I have room for dessert but when I do I'm never disappointed! Yes it can be slightly pricey, but you get what you pay for! Considering it's a hotel restaurant it's better than most. Located in the Disneyland Hotel the restaurant is classy yet relaxed. Vintage Hollywood photos on the walls give you that classic 'Old Hollywood' feeling. We've gone for the past three New Year's Eves and again have not been disappointed, they don't raise the prices and the service is always excellent. Reservations are a must! Go and enjoy for a special occasion or just a Friday night!
