Just a few dining reviews for you all:
Monday, 1/16: MK, Liberty Tree Tavern for character dinner.
Characters were great and really paid a lot of attention to my mom, who i told them was celebrating her 80th birthday and her first trip to WDW. They were wonderful with her, bowing down to her, kissing her hand.
Meal was very good, except DS (12) said the mac & cheese was just "eh". The first round of turkey seemed a little dry, but the second helping was delicious. We also loved the salad, and liked the steak, potatoes and stuffing. Don't care for honey mustard ham, so didn't try it. Apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream for dessert was really, really good.
Grade: B+
Tuesday, 1/17: Slept in a bit and then took the monorail (we were staying at the Polynesian) over to the Grand Floridian Cafe for breakfast. Fantastic omelets and the service was impeccable!!
Grade: A
Dinner at Epcot: Our biggest disappointment of the trip was dinner tonight at Le Cellier. After all i heard, I could hardly wait to eat here, but the food (filet mignon plain for DS and mushroom Filet for me) was barely adequate. Mom had the roast chicken, said it was ok. We didn't care for the much praised cheese soup, but the beef barley soup was pretty good. Best thing was the desserts. Sorbet and Chocolate whiskey cake were delicous. As for the breadsticks, well, they are just that, pretzel, multigrain and sourdough breadsticks: nothing special. Glad I was on the dining plan, because I would have hated paying over $150.00 for this meal.
Grade: C- (and believe me!! i was TRYING to LOVE something here!)
Wednesday, 1/18 MGM day: Room Service for BF: great mickey waffles, fruit, english muffins, bacon. Very prompt service from a very very nice CM!
Grade: B+
Lunch: ABC commisary. The usual burgers and chicken finger meals.
Grade: B-
Dinner: Hollywood & Vine buffet. Maybe we always hit this place at the right time, but the food was fresh, hot and plentiful, and the place was empty! Mom liked everything, even the salmon, DS (12) really like the seafood pasta, and I really like the turkey pot roast here! Never felt rushed by our server and she just happened to always be there when we needed her.

Thursday, 1/19: Back to Epcot.
Captain Cooks at the Poly for breakfast, can't go wrong with Mickey waffles and bacon!
Grade: B+
Electric Umbrella at Epcot for lunch: Mom and DS went with the chicken fingers and I had the roast beef sandwich: not bad
Grade: B
I have no idea what we did for dinner.....vague recollections of Captain Cooks pizza??????
Friday, 1/20: MK day
Again, quick breakfast at Captain Cooks...croissants, cinammon rolls (YUM) and famous Mickey waffles.
Lunch at Columbia Harbor House: Fried fish baskets, tuna sandwiches...very good lunch.
Grade: B
Dinner: Cinderella's Royal Table. Prime Rib and filet for dinner, done to perfection....Now THIS is what I was expecting at Le Cellier!!!! Mom had the shrimp cocktail for appetizer (awesome she said), I had the spring roll (delicious!) and DS had the beef vegetable soup (very good). Desserts were chocolate cake with raspberry sauce (yummmm), the sundae with a chocolate crown (DS loved it) and again, sorbet (very very good). I am going to miss my dinners at CRT......
Grade: A
Saturday, 1/21: Before leaving, we did the character breakfast at 'Ohana's. This is an AWESOME breakfast. The character interaction was once again fantastic (characters came by THREE times to mingle with us!) and Pluto and Stitch were hysterical. The food was good, except I don't like runny eggs, but Mom and DS thought they were very tasty. Love the breads and fresh fruit they bring to your table at the very beginning.
