Palo - Brunch or Diner?

I'd be with my daughter, so I don't need romance - however I love a great view and I remember eating dinner at Palo to just a view of black. It's wasn't the most interesting thing but the food was amazing! I looked up the time that sunset is and if we get into Palo early for dinner we might get something really lovely.

I was able to book both for February!
So excited!

I love Palo dinner and our seating time is supposed to be 5 minute after sunset, so I think we'll have cocktails at Meridian before dinner. Hopefully we'll be able to watch the sunset once we're seated. Does anyone know if they will serve the Colette Cocktail at Meridian?

I'm super excited about brunch though because that will be a new one for me. It was available on our Nassau day and since we're not leaving the ship it's the perfect treat.

Just wanted to go back to this post and say that I still LOVE Palo, now that I've done both Brunch and Dinner, I would be hard pressed to pick one over the other. This Northern Italian restaurant continues to be my very favorite of all Disney Restaurants. Here are just a few pictures of the Brunch I took.

Seating is tiered so that even tables against the back wall have a stunning ocean view

My first plate of pastries and fruits

Caramel Apple Pancakes

Strawberry Soup

Chicken Parm on Rissoto (the best ever)

Sweets

We were absolutely stuffed and couldn't finish our sweets. We asked the waiter if we could get a box to take them and eat them later. Is answer was to tell us that it wasn't allowed. But - that if we wanted to walk out of the restaurant with the plate, no one would say a thing. His name was David and we had him at both lunch and dinner there. He was awesome!

And it tasted even better than it looked

I haven't gotten to do the signature breakfasts at the resorts yet so I can't compare that. But overall Palo is absolutely a higher level than most of the WDW Signature Dining I've had. I would put it right in the middle of WDW Signature and V&A class dining.

The food is excellent and fairly friendly to several levels of picky eaters. You are welcome to order anything from the menu you'd like, so if you're looking for 8 courses, go right ahead. Wine list is lovely, flavors are solid for Northern Italian, the service though - the service is out of this world attentive. Our server David bent over backwards to make sure that we had the very best of everything, that we were happy with everything, he brought us extra goodies to try. If you eat before the sun goes down the view is out of this world. The way that people are sat at the tables makes it very intimate even when the next table over if full. The cocktails, the grappa, the chocolate souffle' - I can not say enough wonderful things about Palo.

Do it!
