Anniversary Dinner.

[kid@heart]

My DW and I will be staying at the VWL in January to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Our kids will be staying home with Grandma & Grandpa. I was wondering what you would suggest for a nice romantic dinner for this occasion? Also, is there a nice restaurant at WL where we could eat? In advance, THANKS!!!

Personally, I have never been there, but have heard many wonderful things about Victoria and Albert's. It is very expensive though.
California Grill is also nice, especially if you time it for the fireworks.
Since you are staying at WL, how about Artist's point ?
You could also do Bistro de Paris or San Angel Inn.
I would check out the menus and see what you like.

Here are a few ideas...

VICTORIA & ALBERT'S at the Grand Floridian. Undoubtedly, the fanciest, schmanciest restaurant in The World. Intimate, romantic -- candle light and the sound of a plucking harp are the order of the day -- and very VERY nice. Food is exotic, not to everyone's taste (venison, anyone?) but creatively prepared and presented. You receive a personalized menu to take home, and a rose (a nice touch!). Service is fabulous; each table is served by a pair of people, Victoria and Albert, who do everything to make your meal memorable. Not only is the food memorable, so is the price. Prepare to spend close to $200 for your meal.

JIKO at the Animal Kingdom Lodge is a close second, in my book. Lovely atmosphere, in a beautiful resort, with unforgettable food, seasoned in ways you would never imagine, but just plain great. (Try the tenderloin with mac & cheese. You can thank me later.)

ARTIST POINT at the Wilderness Lodge is exceptional, and a personal fave of mine, with some great Northwestern cuisine. The signature salmon is excellent. It's not THAT romantic, though. But it has a nice, woodsy atmosphere that would never EVER make you realize you were actually in the middle of the Florida swamps.

Bon appetite!

Can't improve upon what's already been said, except to add Palio and perhaps Citrico's to your list. Both are "romantic" in that they are more adult friendly rather than kid friendly--thus being a bit more quiet than the normal WDW restaurant.

Well, Victoria & Albert's, at the Grand Floridian, is probably the most romantic restaurant on property! It's expensive, but imho, worth it! If not there, you might think about Citricos (also at the GF), Jiko at AKL, and right there at the WL is Artist Point, another great place!
