Alfresco Lounge in Anaheim

Came here with friends who were annual passholders prior to Disney discontinuing the annual passholder perk for afternoon drinks. Unfortunately, when we went, the kitchen was not a serving any hot food so the menu was extremely limited. Drinks: My friend got the 5 4 3 2 1 which was a real gem. The coconut-pineapple cream balanced perfectly with the alcohol for a fresh & refreshing cocktail that we would absolutely order again! I got The Stinger which was a huge disappointment. The drink tasted like...

Open to Disney Legacy members the terrace venue offers a nice break from the bustling disney park. We came here for drinks and a quick bite. We ordered the the chew chew juice which is a mix of lemonade with watermelon which made for a refreshing drink. Since we wanted cocktails we added a shot of bourbon which created a smoke...

The atmosphere is good but for a lounge that supposedly specializes in California wine, the selections are abysmal. Okay, okay, so I AM a little bit of a wine snob, but the lack of quality of the wines being served and the ridiculous high prices is a double whammy of offensiveness. It's a one star place based on the wine menu alone. (They do have a few food nibbles available, but I'm so happy we didn't order food based on what I saw coming out to other tables). The Alfresco Lounge is tucked away above the wine country trattoria at Disney's California Adventure, a secret, secluded little spot.

Of course, this fact makes it quite miserable on a hot day, a rainy day, or during certain times of the day when the sunshine is blinding. We chose a table with just a little bit of sunshine at dusk, which made for a nice way to unwind. The service was good and fast, there were zero kids running around, and this could've easily been a five star experience if only the wines were any good! The menu is separated into wines by the glass, wines by the bottle, and wine flights. We each opted for a wine flight so we could try a variety of wines. I selected the Napa Cabernet flight ($27) and hubby got the Big Reds flight ($25). The wines on offer are all related to the Disney company in some way -- either owned by descendants of Disney (Silverado Vineyards), or run by folks...
