Adults only anniversary trip...where to eat?

[amccu18007]

I was wondering if you had any dinning suggestions for our adults only anniversary trip. We have the deluxe dinning package Thanks for all of your help!

 

[MEGADAN]

Cali Grill, Jiko's, Artist Point, Narcossees are all good adult choices. For quieter dinners I would choose Jiko's and Artist Point. Enjoy!

 

[CoolDisneyCat]

I agree with the ones above ..

and would like to add Flying Fish, Sanaa and Yachtsman Steakhouse.

To dine without so many kids around, try making your adr after 8.

I know Cali grill has a lot of kids. I know we took ours last time (3 and 4) and are taking them again on this trip. I wouldn't go to Victoria and Alberts or Jiko with them...so those might have less kids and might be good places to try.

I second Narcoosee's, Yachtsman and Jikos!!! All very good choices!

all of the above are great, add citricos to the list too. dh and i do 1 trip per year alone and i would agree to make adr's after 8:00. ooh, and bluezoo, il mulino and paradisio 37. we ate at il mulino 2 weeks ago, 8:30 reservation and there were only 2 children in the filled restaurant (i counted due to surprise). i think anything over at the dolphin/swan is usually filled more with adults, and then you could have a romantic walk around the lake, or over to jellyrolls for a lively nightcap!

We booked Yachtsmans Steakhouse at the last minute for our last trip and LOVED it. The service was exceptional (even compared to all of the great service around Disney) and the food was excellent. It was just DBF and me. We are DEFINATELY going back!

Artists Point at the Wilderness Lodge. Request a window seat and enjoy the scenery. Fabulous location, great food and superior service. Spend some time in the lobby and walk around the resort - you won't be sorry.

...dining suggestions for an adults only anniversary trip....deluxe dining plan....hey, wait a second....I just did that trip!!!

Wholeheartedly recommend both Narcoossee's and Jiko for a lovely, mostly peaceful, wonderful meal. A little noisier than I might have liked (just general dining and kitchen noise), but lovely ambience - especially at Jiko.

The food at Cali Grill was very good as well, and being only 2 in your party, you may have a better chance at a window table (like we did). However, CG had a LOT of kids. I was surprised at how many, considering it's a signature restaurant. Kind of took away the "dinner out without the kids" aspect, even if they weren't OUR kids.

We also had a lunch at Chefs de France (very nice - OMG! have the Alsace flatbread!) and were placed at a table by the window looking out across the walkway and WS lagoon (good for people watching!)

Don't know what we were thinking, but we booked dinner at Le Cellier the same night we had lunch at Chefs de France. Way too much food, considering we did app-entree-dessert at lunch. Gotta pace yourself.

Our favorite dinner during our Disneymoon was the Yachtsman. Very quiet and romantic, and beautiful place to take an evening stroll after dinner (and maybe go to Jellyrolls for entertainment afterwards). I heard so many good things about LeCellier, it was the most anticipated dinner of our trip. The food was wonderful, but it was noisey...and the tables for two are VERY small.

I've got Bistro de Paris booked for our Anniversary dinner in January.

 

[Brian Noble]

My wife and I had a very nice light lunch at Brown Derby. It wasn't a great "value" on the dining plan, but we really enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service.

We also had a very nice leisurely dinner at Chefs de France, and everything was very good. Truth be told, I would have rather gone to Bistro, but it's a little more formal, and my wife prefers the more casual setting that Chef's offers. Also, this restaurant just perfectly hits that "left bank bistro" feel, and we've both been to Paris, but never together, so this was our chance.

 

[amccu18007]

Thanks for all of the wonderful suggestions! We usually do Le Cellier and Chefs de France each time we go but the other signature restaurants are new to me. I can't wait to plan all of this. Off to go read menu's

We had our 10th anniversary meal at Yachtsman and it was wonderful! The atmosphere is relaxing and while not quiet, it was one of the most quiet restaurants we've ever eaten at while at WDW. The service was great and the food was too. Like a pp said, we took a stroll around the Boardwalk after our dinner and the entire area just made for such a romantic evening.

 

[Carrie in AZ]

We just celebrated our 20th anniversary earlier in November.....had a fantastic celebratory meal at Artist Point at WL. LOVED LOVED LOVED it!! Ten years ago, we dined at Les Chefs and loved that, too!

The best places are those not on the dining plan (V&A, bistro, bluezoo, Il Mulino) but on the dining plan, if you are looking for a quiet meal, I'd book late dinners at Flying Fish, Jiko, Citricos and Artist Point. Those are your best bets for having a quiet meal with good food. If you go to Ca Grill after fireworks, it's not bad. I'm not as fond of the food at Yachtsman and Narcoosees although Yachtsman is usually quiet for a late dinner.

Everyone has great suggestions that I agree with! What we did on our last trip is to arrive about an hour early for our reservation, and have a cocktail. For instance on the third floor (I think) at Wilderness Lodge there is a balcony overlooking the pool area and lagoon. Fun to sit.

At the Boardwalk Inn, second floor (I think) there is a ginormous balcony with wicker rockers that overlooks the boardwalk area and the water. This was soooo nice to sit. The bar for the boardwalk is just down the hall from the balcony.

All the hotels have these lovely lobbies and nice areas to sit in that my husband and I always rushed past. Soooo nice to sit and enjoy before dinner.

This sounds lovely! I am trying to make this trip relaxed and fun while adding in a touch of romance so this def. fits the bill. Thanks for the suggestion
