2 Years, Multiple Trips, Lots of meals

[Remy is Up]

This will be fun. Im going to limit my comments on each restaurant to quick so it doesnt get out of hand. These are all sit down, buffet, or character meals in the past two years. Most of the places have been more than once and Ill note that beside the restaurant. No counter service in this list. But from bottom to top, here are the 35 we have eaten at and reached a consensus on the list. Takes into account atmosphere, service, food quality, and value for the $:
35: Trails End (1) Simply the worst experience ever on WDW property. Ryans is better
34: Edison(2) For all the hype it is awful. It wants to be Toothsome so bad and its not, in any way
33. Beaches & Cream (2) Waffle House or local soda fountains are much better
32. BOG Breakfast/Lunch (3) Wanted to like it, hated it every time.
31. 1900 Park Fair (1) Breakfast Food was ok, just too noisy
30. Whispering Canyon (1) You pay for the show not the food and neither are good
29. Castle Breakfast (1) Nice view, food was ok, service very bad
28. Grand Floridian Cafe (2) Brunch and Dinner- Service is absolutely awful, food is average
27. Garden Grille (2) Lunch and Dinner- Service was good both times but the food is just above average
26. Kona (3) Breakfast and Lunch- Wow, what happened to one of my go to places. Just bad now
25. Artist Point (1) Dinner This is a sig experience at sig prices??? No way
24. Ohana (1) breakfast- OK service, good food, nothing special
23. Skipper (3) at this point the only sit down in MK Ill eat at. Never had a bad meal here.
22. Via (3) Service is really hit or miss but the pizza is usually dead on
21. ESPN (3) Has been a pleasant surprise for solid sportsbar food
20. Spice Road (1) ONLY issue is they tone the food down a bit too much for tourists
19. Chefs De France (1) Food and service were solid but expected a bit more. Would go back
18. Narcoosees (2) another sig this low because it just cant be consistent
17. Splitsville (3) Another surprise. Food is always on point, service is good
16. Trattoria Breakfast (1) Hands down best character experience and food at a breakfast.
15. Rose and Crown Dining Room (2) Have always had solid food and service here
14. Boatwrights (3) I was shocked so I went back, then again. Every visit was good
13. Tutti Italia (2) One of the best restaurants in World Showcase. Consistent
12. Cali Grille (2) Living off the view. Menu is too big to be excellent at anything.
11. Ragland Road (4) Atmosphere, Service, Food...It all works here
10. Boma (3) Breakfast and DInner Easily the best buffet on the property and thats by far
9. La Hacienda (2) Best restaurant in World Showcase and the gap is BIG
8. HBD (2) only restaurant worth anything at Studios and one of the best on property
7. Homecomin (5) The go to in Springs and now one of the most consistent on property
6. Frontera Cocina (4) Another surprise but the food and service are so good
5. Boathouse (3) It can be a bit loud in here and the menu is huge, but, its consistently good
4. Yachtsman Steakhouse (3) Even having a bad waiter once, the rest is so good it lands here
3. Flying Fish (2) Best seafood. When you limit your menu and do it all excellent
2. Jiko (2) I was worried at the change to the chef..No Worries, still a great great meal
1. Il Mulino (4) There isnt a better restaaurant for service, atmosphere, quality, or value on property

As a bonus: Lounges
7. Jock Lindsays- In a Pinch. With Ragland, Homecomin, and others at springs its just ok
6. Taphouse- needs more apps to be int he same league witht he top 5
5. HBD Lounge- If it had indoor seating....Thats the main difference
4. Geyser Point- If it werent so far out of the way, though I make my way there
3. Sams- Great show, great interactions, great drinks
2. Tutto Gusto- Excellent offerings and service
1. Nomad Lounge- Just the best simple as that

The list is only ones we have eaten at the past two years. We ate at others previous years but have a plan to visit the following this year to add them to a more current list:
Citricos- Havent been in a while so we shall see. Was really good and then kind of slipped for me
Le Cellier- Great at the beginning, feel off badly
Monsiuer Pauls- Havent been yet. Looking forward to it
Biergarten- recent reviews have me curious
Shulas- last visit was less than good. Hoping it will be better
Blue Zoo- not sure why I havent been yet
Sci Fi- as with Biergarten, recent reviews have me curious
Tiffins- Just havent made it there yet even though I love Nomad
Yak and Yeti- Been a while so we shall see
Liberty Tree Tavern- It still cant be that bad can it?
House Of Blues- Always loved the atmosphere but the food quality was iffy
Morimotos- as long as they have cleaned up their act


Any other suggestions??? Obviously Not V&A. We are planning on eating there next January. I can only justify doing that every 5 years or so but it is certainly in a class by itself.
Im also happy to give details as to why a certain place has the ranking they do for us.
