It could be they’re having to last minute change it. Lots of places are having issues getting their restaurant deliveries as expected. Patina is not going to be an exception and they will have experienced these issues at their other restaurants already. I wouldn’t be surprised if their supplier has informed them they won’t be getting this order quite as ordered and they’re adjusting/waiting to find out what exactly is gonna show. As a price fixed menu it’s got a lot less wiggle room than a traditional menu so that would make this even more difficult I would think.
It’s entirely possible they haven’t decided when to start accepting ADRs. Walk ups are guaranteed revenue. ADRs are maybe revenue because due to COVID they can’t really enforce show up or pay policies and they dissuade walk ups who think there is no room for them.Why do they insist on dribbling out info like this? Why couldn't they just say when ADR's will open at the same time they announced the opening date? It's so stressful to have to try to be on top of every bit of news every minute of every day when planning a trip. Not everybody has the luxury of being able to sit online or social media all day looking for the newest updates.
The price really is kooky. I can't wait to read the reviews.
Totally agree! Being forced to pay an adult price for my 10 year old is insane. They need to adjust their kids dining age. I won't pay $79 for a dinner for a 10 year old. We really enjoy the sit down restaurants but any with pricing like this are out for us until the kids are 16+!
Thank you. I think that all started with the dining plans. Really should be looked at.... probably wont happen as long as people sign up to pay that much.
My 12 year old doesn’t like fancy things. He’s plain all the way. He would rather the kids menu because it’s simple. I wouldn’t even mind paying a little more for him to be allowed to choose from the kid menus. They should definitely up the age for dining (even if it’s just outside the dining plan). I don’t know how that would work but it does suck to pay $55-$79 for a meal that is never gonna get eaten just to get in the door for an experience. I’ll probably end up skipping this next trip which is a bummer, but as much as I want to eat there I just can’t justify the cost.
When we went to BOG they let my son choose food off the kids menu but they still charged him the adult price. I have heard that people have gotten them to charge the kids. My DH would hate if I made a fuss so I did not that day.... but is was not $80. When I go to Disney its its certainly not to complain at people that's not a carefree vacation.
Y’all forgot, this is WDW. I still remember buying hotdogs back in the 80’s for 4 people that came to around $40+. DH and I just had local lunch and a couple of drinks that was $80 with military discount. Bought bacon at Publix that was $7.99. But, you will spend ridiculous money for QS or high F&W without blinking. Obviously Space 220 is not going to be for everyone, maybe that was their thinking. Flying Fish, STEAKHOUSE 71, etc. are also expensive. Choose what you are willing to do, but complaining about the price is a waste of energy…IMO.
But at least steakhouse71 let's me buy what I want.. the menu says a filet is $36 with one side vs $79 for a whole bunch of stuff I dont want
