[bat4less]

FINE DINING AND FOOD QUALITY BEING THE PRIORITY
1-SHULA'S -far above everyone else on quality and service-$200+
2-Shula's - we ate there 2x- and no other place was close-great filet and lobster
3-VICTORIA AND ALBERTS- grand floridian- good food- good service- but wasnt as magical as shulas-$150

CHARACTER MEALS FOR KIDS WITH FOOD BEING A PRIORITY
1-CINDY'S-good bfast- not your typical buffet- good food and great service-great characters-$75

3- HOLLYWOOD AND VINE-great characters interaction-decent food-$60

SNACKS AND ICE CREAM-

3-BEACHES AND CREAM-excellent

WHERE NOT TO GO !!

I agree breakfast in the castle is good and fun for all. I will have to add Shula's to my list of places to try for upcoming trips. Thanks for posting!

Where is Shulas and what kind of food do they serve? :rolleyes:

[bat4less]

shula's is a steak and lobster restaurant- they serve fresh cut black angus ceritfied and live lobster- they are located in the dolphin hotel-( don shula's in the dolphin) it was one of the most enjoyable dinners we have ever had- and we ranked them #3 in our u.s. dinners. #1 was a steak house in d.c. and # 2 was in k.c.

We were just at O'hana's on 9/24 and had one of our best meals during our nine day stay. We arrived early (around five) with no PS. We were seated within five min. and the meal and attention were both outstanding, maybe not worth as much we paid ($108 for four of us) but certainly one of our favorites.

My family of four ate at ohanas on 9/28 and had a great meal. Little pricey but the food was abundant and servers very receptive to my 2 children. We had our food in less than 10 minutes and actually got tired of them continually asking us if we wanted more. Thats a good thing. maybe we hit it on a good night but it still was one of our best meals.

what time did you go to 'ohana's- our next door neighbors in the poly went the same night you did and didnt get served for 30 minutes and only had their waiter come by the table 2x the entire night! we went at 730 on the 27th and had horrible service and even worsee response from the management when we informed him of the problem.

I went on 9-29 and had a terrific dining experience there. The service was average, but the food and atmosphere were excellent. Would highly recommend it to everyone!

With all this talk about Ohana's...I'm glad I ate at Boma. Great food and outstanding service. The buffet is *highly* recommended IMHO. :)

[Leota]

We also had a great experience @ 'Ohanas.... Our server was quite attentive & with 2 teenage boys, the servers were kept quite busy! Sounds like we hit it right......Maybe just an off night? or off server?

Worth batman


We ate there about 7pm on Friday the 28th, was served the appetizers within 5 minutes of sitting down, and than within 5 min more they came with the skewers of stuff and never stopped. In fact, I made the comment to my wife, that they could have given us a little more time to eat the appetizers. We left at around 8:15-8:30 and did notice a ton of people waiting to get in. I think we just may have hit it at a good time before the rush.

The kicker was when I got the bill, I noticed they charged for my 2 year old son. I thought I would have a hassle, but the server apologized, took it off the bill without any questions.

We ate at Kona in August and had a wonderful meal. We really enjoy this restaurant and eat there every time we go to WDW. The service was a little slow the last time but the waitress was very friendly and pleasant so it didn't really bother us. We usually don't bring the kids though. I have done the character b-fast a couple of years ago at O'hana and thought it was awful. That was the first and last time we ever ate there.
