Started with a "Champagne" flight consisting of one Champagne and a sparkler from Italy and the US.

An outstanding crab cake.

Tuna tartare with lotus root chips and microgreens.

Poached duck Magret wrapped in Swiss chard, Mushroom vegetable couscous and a crispy let confit spring roll with a spicy onion jam. Not sure if it was this particular duck or if it's standard Magret, but the duck was quite gamey...I liked it, but I can see it being offputting to some.

Char grilled filet of beef - over white truffle whipped potatoes, mushroom ragout and red wine reduction. Nicely done. The picture doesn't look too appetizing - it looked better in person.
---
The famous grapefruit cake - the citrus was mild enough that if you don't like grapefruit it's worth a shot, but it's not so weak that you don't know what it is. I dug it.

If you are in a hurry, this may not be the place for you. They definitely are trying to be a 'nice restaurant' not just a 'nice theme park restaurant' - dinner took about two hours, which is fine for a standalone place, but in a theme park, I could see some people expected things to be a bit speedier.
If you've been to Chicago, you may have encountered a restaurant called Wildfire. I would compare this place in almost all respects to it - quality of food, service, pricepoint, even the feel of the room.
