Anniversary dinner: where?

[megs1313]

My DH and I will celebrate our 12th anniversary at the World in January. We want to do something special on our date night (my mom is coming to babysit.) I'm late on making the ADR, though because this was a last minute trip, so I need several ideas so I can find some availability. I am not really a fish-eater and would prefer not to have to bring dress clothes for the trip, since packing space will be at a premium it's a 10 day trip.) Any suggestions? TIA!

We will be in Epcot for our 25th anniversary in may. We have a dinner reservation for chefs de France. Had a dinner there only once and that was 5 years ago, but we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and atmosphere.

We went to California Grill for our 20th anniversary.

The wave has a nice atmosphere for adults, Or Tutto Italia always very good.

We celebrated our 30th anniversary at Artist Point. It couldn't have been nicer, with perfect service, food, and overall experience. Personalized menus, complimentary champagne toast, greeting from the manager, complimentary amuse bouche (this Food Network fanatic was in heaven!).

My favorite atmosphere of the Disney restaurants we've been to was Narcoossee's. Very enjoyable. It is a little seafood-heavy but we really enjoyed the steaks there too. Yachtsman would probably be my second choice. Per a previous post, we also like Chefs de France but when we were there last trip for dinner it was super-loud and hectic so I personally wouldn't do it for an adult special event. The only Disney restaurant that really requires dressing up is Victoria & Albert's.

We went to Trattoria on the Boardwalk for the last night of our Honeymoon. They made such a big deal out of us, it was fantastic. And we always love the food! Our waitress gave us champagne with strawberries, a platter with chocolate covered fruit and our names written in chocolate, it was beautiful! And we left with a menu & our wedding date written in there with Happily ever after. Amazing experience overall

Congratulations on your 30th anniversary! I second Artist Point. Wonderful food. Its not super popular (not sure why? Maybe because its a tad out of the way, but easily accessible by ferry from the MK) so finding a reservation should not be an issue. No need to dress up. Just nice casual clothes.

I love Chefs de France, but its very crowded and a tad loud. Artist point is much for intimate.

We did private dining for our 15th and we are doing it again for our 20th next year. Love the private butler and viewing wishes from the GF balcony.

I would think something like Narcosse, Yachtsman, or The Wave would all be great choices.

Bluezoo or Jiko. Have done adult only meals at both.

Hmm, january. That throws out my "outdoor" dining recomendations. Thinking I would go with either Cali Grill or Yachtsmans. We still haven't made it to AP but soon will. I do hear it is the quietest of all the restaurants though. Love the WL.

I'll add in my vote for The Wave and Artist Point. You may not have a preference, but for an anniversary dinner I like a calmer atmosphere and these two have that. Also think about Boatwrightss at POR and Olivia's at OKW.

Don't forget the places in The Springs like Morimoto or La Frontera. You can use Opentable instead of MDE for a reservation.

I second the vote for Trattoria al Forno on the Boardwalk. We ate there the night after our 21st anniversary this July & the food (yummy) & service were both top notch. Our waitress made a fuss over us & brought us 2 rounds of champagne (1 before our apps & another before our desserts) & really made us feel special. The atmosphere inside is also really nice but not so fancy that you need to be really dressed up. I wore capris, a sleeveless blouse & espadrilles so no need to pack a dress or heels, save on the luggage space. Happy Anniversary in advance!

 

[ElyseInWonderland]

Trattoria is my pick as well! Enjoy a stroll on the Boardwalk after dinner. Enjoy and Happy Anniversary!

We celebrated our 41st anniversary at Artist Point and it was amazing. Our waiter was excellent and explained the menu when we asked questions. My husband had the salmon and I had the bison. We each thought our choices were wonderful. I surprised my husband and ordered a special cake for our dessert. As other people mentioned the atmosphere was very relaxed and we just thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

We just ate at Flying Fish- it was incredible!!!

Lots of great options here but let me throw out another, Monsieur Paul in the France pavilion. It is a smaller and less known location with a great view and after California Grill would be my first choice for any romantic celebration.

We had a lovely dinner at Jiko for our 16th anniversary last year
