Hmmm...For a fun dinner, group of four adults, Le Cellier, San Angel, or Tutto ?

I'm not really a steak eater, my sis and BIL do not really eat meat either, FH eats it sometimes.....So as much as I want to try Le cellier, not sure it would be worth it for us, AND I"m afraid it won't live up to the hype.

San Angel looks nice inside, never eaten their though...
And tutto gets mixed reviews.....any input would be appreciated!
I guess for this trip I am looking for the best quality of food, with the best atmosphere for us.

Every place in Disney has mixed reviews IMO.

San Angel has the best atmosphere of the three IMO. The reviews are very mixed. I have not eaten there since March so I won't comment on the food. The reviews lately seem better. Just know that it is not what Americans expect Mexican to be. It will also be very busy and noisy. Great Margaritas though.

Tutto is good, but nothing extraordinary, will be packed with kids and noisy.

I think Le Cellier is way overrated and it is always packed.

If you’re not on the DDP you may want to consider Blue Zoo in the dolphin. Great seafood and atmosphere. Not cheap, but not that much more expensive then the Disney places.

If your on the DDP then the Flying Fish and Kouzzinna at the Boardwalk have nice seafood.

They are just a short boat ride or walk from Epcot.

I think I'm going to agree with Tony. I've been to San Angel and Le Cellier recently and Tutto Italia for a food and wine event but I have never actually gone there to eat at the regular restaurant. All three will be loaded with families with children.

San Angel's the prettiest but there are a lot of complaints about the food. I had duck tacos there and I liked those. They are an appetizer - I am not thrilled with most Disney entrees so I usually order some appetizers. But another person in my party had problems with the steak. I think they've improved some from when Tony went but not completely. The tables are right on top of one another and it's pretty noisy. The margaritas are fantastic. In fact, for a party of adults I would be much more comfortable recommending spending some time hanging around the tequila bar (La Cava del Tequila) eating the appetizers rather than a full dinner in the restaurant.

Tutto Italia had really good food at the event I did - and some of that was served on their regular menu. But I cannot get past the prices there - it's extraordinarily expensive, even for Disney. It will also be filled with noisy families. If you are on the dining plan it may be a good choice.

Le Cellier is probably okay if you like steak but from your post it appears you are looking for seafood. They do have some. I think the mussels are wonderful. But there again the tables are right on top of each other and there will be lots of families with little kids. (They do have some interesting Canadian wines and beers.)

If there is an interest in seafood I would go with Kouzzina or Flying Fish. Kouzzina gets a lot of mixed reviews but I loved the whole fish (it was a red snapper) and a lot of those who reviewed the fish liked it also. Flying Fish is more expensive but they have excellent seafood and a really good wine and cocktail list. I had a striped bass there that had been raised at Epcot in the Land pavilion's fishery, served with truffled mashed potatoes. If you can get past the expense (2 credits if you're on DDP) it's great for seafood.

Teppan Edo

we also ate at Tutto Italia and Le Cellier We loved Le Cellier one of the best meals we have ever had such fun even though it was busy and yes there were kids close to us but we had so much fun

Teppan Edo though was brilliant this was the best meal we have ever had a really good night out the reason we are going back to WDW well the reason DF is coming back lol I would go and for any reason lol but deff look into Teppan Edo was brilliant

If none of you are big meat eaters than I would cross LeCellier off your list. They do have other options, but if the majority of your group isn't into it, then I would save myself the trouble of trying to eat there.

San Angel Inn: We LOVE the atmosphere, the food was very good. The big marguaritas make the food taste better. I had a fabulous red snapper over spicy artichokes in a red sauce this past June. It was wonderful. I would definately eat there again...but it's not a "must do again on our next trip" list either.

Tutto: I love the food here. Not sure if I would define it as *fun*. It always seems pretty rushed (which works for us because we have kids) and it is definately loud.

For a fun meal for people who don't love meat, I also vote for Teppan Edo. The food was excellent (shrimp are sooooo good) and I am looking forward to trying the scallops in Dec. The service was wonderful and it was a fun dining experience for our family.

Either San Angel or Tutto would be great for you.

IL Mulino or Blue Zoo sound like better fits.

Skip Le Cellier, you are correct, it is highly over rated.

My vote would go to Tutto Italia. The food and service was good when we were there. However, I have never been to San Angel Inn.
