I need some opinions... What's something special that I can do for my dads birthday at disneyland...we'll be staying at the grand, he's turning 53, and likes "sit down" restaurants...what do you guys think?

I second blu bayou.... Bit pricey but most definately the best.. - BONEDADDY916  18.9 #5179 1:17PM
Carnation Cafe is very good and it's a sit down outdoor restaurant! You can make reservations so no waiting in line and it's right on Main Street! Also, there is a great place in Downtown Disney called La Brea Bakery Cafe that is sit down as well. - kbeenss  181.5 #1846 1:17PM
Absolutely ! Blue Bayou. Make sure to make reservations, ask to sit by the water, and wave to the people in the boats. Lol - SueBayou  2012.0 #34 1:18PM
Trattoria is nicr - Plumiegirl  3344.9 #10 1:27PM
Blue Bayou, Ariel's Grotto, and Streak House 55 all do free birthday desserts with your meal - space_ranger  50.5 #3748 1:31PM
If u can't get into club 33, then blue bayou is great. Our of park, storytellers cafe or napa rose is delish - Disneyaddict  200.4 #1628 1:49PM
Because he is turning "53" you should find him something Herbie related, with the 53 on it, like a pin or something. This way, he will remember what you did for him on his 53'rd B-Day. - proudcanuck  476.4 #250 1:56PM
I'm taking my dad in two weeks for his birthday...this is what I have planned reservations at cafe orleans, bought him a park hopper, and we are watching all the shows that day! Plus since he hasn't been to DCA I'm taking him on TOT :) so just a few ideas - DisneyVillain  355.8 #400 2:01PM
I would say Napa Rose at the Grand Californian. Excellent food! - Debster  112.4 #2864 2:01PM
Blue Bayou, Napa Rose just don't get there "World Famous Hot Chocolate"....... Long Storytell you some other day lol - R8Rjose  141.6 #2419 2:09PM
Steak house 55 in the DCA hotel. - Zooter  1361.8 #58 2:41PM
I haven't even thought of steakhouse 55! He likes steak and wine so I think that would be right up his alley lol thanks everyone for your input! - becka_mouse87  8.8 #7189 4:03PM
Blue bayou or Napa rose. - angryduck  98.7 #3046 4:07PM
Blue Bayou - great atmosphere! - jjdq  326.7 #490 6:37PM
Do 55 over blue bayou-better food and nicer sit down meal - CoreyV  1.4 #39703 6:40PM
And go early in the AM and get Lilly Belle reservations. - Tom  3873.0 #7 6:42PM
Napa Rose if he's serious about good food. Bleu bayou is cute and food is decent but Napa Rose is an award winning and not your usual Disney sit down restaurant. Sit at the chefs counter and let the chef cook for you. The chef will pick out the meal. Its pricey but will truley be a different experience and is located at your hotel. If you are on a budget try the steak house. - Momerath  1.2 #40966 6:50PM
Also if he likes wine they pair wines with each course. - Momerath  1.2 #40966 6:51PM
Ohh the lilly belle! Thats a good idea - becka_mouse87  8.8 #7189 6:52PM
I know this may sound silly but how about the cake decorating and bday party they do in the park. Make him really feel like a kid again - MTLott  79.8 #3282 6:58PM
