From Bubbling Cocktails to Pixar Details, This New Disneyland Restaurant Is a MUST Visit

The Lamplight Lounge got a bright and bold makeover. Here's the entrance to the downstairs area. Keep walking down the pier for the upstairs bar that takes walk-ins but has a limited menu.

Here's the full menu for the downstairs restaurant.

The Pixar lamp (Luxo Jr.) and ball (the Luxo Ball) pop up in a number of spots, including in this cool floor design.

There's also beautiful Pixar artwork throughout.

This chandelier is made up of Pixar sketches and notes on pieces of paper.

The artwork is often framed by fun illustrations painted on the walls.

The downstairs host stand is right next this cool wall of light-up Luxo Balls. On the other side of this wall is a special themed booth featuring a table of mini cars from the movie Cars.

The entrance to the restrooms is an ode to Up.

The chalkboard-inspired walls feature quotes from Pixar employees.

The restroom signs have characters from The Incredibles.

Toy Story aliens adorn the "cast members only" door sign.

The shirts on display were all designed by different Pixar Studios departments for specific films. They'd wear the shirts during production. Sadly, they aren't for sale!

Can you figure out which movie these signs are an ode to? (Hint: it probably gave you a lot of feelings.)

Here's the view from the downstairs lounge area. Love the waterside location!

Here's another shot of the downstairs bar and restaurant.

The space has a modern vibe.

Here's the cool bar space.

There are a lot of vintage-inspired lamps, naturally.

There are quite a few beer selections available, including draft, bottled, and canned. The Pizza Port amber ale is a must!

The bar menu is a work of art and worth reading through.

One of my favorite areas is this lounge space.

It features lots of comfy seating and low tables.

Seriously, the Pixar details are all over the place, like this Coco-adorned leather chair.

The booth right behind the host station downstairs features this cool table with the matchbox-size versions of the Cars characters. It was inspired by a conference room table inside Pixar Animation Studios.

I had to try the bubbling Infinity Fizz mocktail, but I will say it looks cooler than it tastes! It's a sweet blend of Powerade Mountain Berry Blast and apple juice with miniature cherry juice-filled balls that reminded me of Gushers.

There's also an alcoholic version called The Sequel (Absolut Citron Vodka, Bacardi Gran Reserva Maestro de Ron Rum, Liquid Alchemist Passion Fruit, lime juice, and agave nectar) as well as a number of other fun cocktails.

Even the coasters have fun Pixar references. There are a variety of options to choose from, all featuring sketches of different characters.

The menu is described as California gastropub, and it offers nice midrange options that include everything from healthy salads to indulgent burgers.

These spicy wings were my favorite. The meat fell right off the bone and the flavor combination of the chili-ginger sauce was perfect.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the stone crab and yellowfin tuna sushi was as well.

To get to the poke, you had to tap the outer shell first.

You then use the shell to scoop up the watermelon, avocado, edamame, shishito pepper, mango, and tuna poke. This was also tasty!

Here's the chicken tenders from the kids' menu.

This innovative kids' menu option is a twist on the classic PB&J.

Don't worry! They kept the fan-favorite lobster nachos on the menu.

Thankfully, the only dessert item on the menu happens to be delicious! It's warm doughnuts with raspberry and chocolate dipping sauces.
