Just Back-our dining thoughts...

Here is where we ate (free dining)

Teppan Edo-Dinner
Awesome! Food was wonderful, just as good as any hibachi I have been to. Service was great, chef was very entertaining. In our party we had hibachi chicken, shrimp, and steak and all were delicious! We would definitely go here again!

Crystal Palace-Breakfast
Wonderful as always! Enjoyed the food (especially fresh omelets and puffed french toast), service, and character interaction. Love it here!

Earl of Sandwich-Dinner
Delicious! In our party we had the Italian sandwiches and the Caprese. Both were very good and the dessert choices (we had brownies and cookies) were very fresh!

Kona Cafe-Breakfast
Amazing! Delicious food and great service. In our party we had the Big Kahuna which is a steel on the dining plan because you get a little of everything-eggs, meat, pancakes, french toast etc. Delish! Looking forward to going back!

Mama Melrose-Dinner
Disgusting. We waited an hour passed our ADR because they were behind. Service by our waiter was downright terrible. People seated around us with other waiters who were seated after us had bread and drinks before we even met our waiter. Our food was not good. In our party we had Chicken parm, penne vodka, and I can't remember exactly but it was an alfredo sauce with pasta and peas or something. Either way, all three were gross. The tomato sauce used at Mama Melrose is dark and nasty.
Our waiter was terrible though he claimed to have been working there for years. Our food was brought out by someone else who did not bring grated cheese. This gross food needed cheese to help it out. We waited and waited but our food was getting cold. So we were almost done when the waiter said I will get you some grated parm cheese. 10 minutes later he came back with the cheese. We were done already. We waited almost 30 minutes for dessert and then another 15 after we had asked for the check. It was horrible and we will never return. I should have listened to the bad reviews.

Casey's Corner
Great! Hot dogs and cheese fries were very good. We all enjoyed this counter service and would return!

Coronado Springs Pepper Market
We ate various meals here throughout the trip and enjoyed all of them-breakfast omelets are very good as are the burgers and fries, and the small pizzas. We never did to go orders because the 10% tip was included in the dining plan.

Pizzafari-lunch
Very good. Not the kind of pizza you order at home, but still very good. We enjoyed our pizzas and breadsticks in the nice air conditioning!

So overall, we had a great trip with great food. Mama Melrose was the only bummer and we will not return there but one bad meal did not spoil our trip!

Thanks for your reviews. Sorry your food at Mama Melrose was so bad. We ate there twice in 2006 and had great service and great meals. It sure sounds lately like it has gone downhill.

I hope your vacation was magical!

Thanks for the review of Pizzafari. We are thinking of eating there on our trip next week. Usually we eat at the restauranteous. I thought we would try something different this trip. Same with Casey's corner. Never have eaten there and hear good things. I think we will give them a try as well.

thanks for the great reviews, short & sweet. Bummer about Mama Melrose...we've been there twice (9/2008 & 5/2009) We liked the food, but service was incredibly slow...about what you're talking about, 30 min. here & 15 min there waiting for things you've asked for. And we just couldn't figure out why because they honestly were not busy either time we were there...more than half the tables empty and clusters of servers standing around chatting with each other. Only the bartenders looked busy. Just wonder if the Fantasmic Dinner Package makes their profit line good on the books so they just don't bother with making the dining experience a good one?

Thanks for the reviews. It's good to see someone enjoyed Pepper Market--it's been getting a lot of bad reviews. Sorry you didn't enjoy Mama Melrose--we've been there three times and we've always had good (not outstanding, but good) food and great service.
