Artists Point opinions needed!

Love the resort, love the restaurant, loved the food, have only been here once and our server lacked personality. The restaurant was not busy and neither was our server, who knows where she disappeared to.

Would I return, definitely.

We love AP and I have to second the vote for the Coffee Two Ways Dessert - the BEST. The portabello soup is a very thick cream based mushroom soup. It is very rich and the mushrooms are smoked so the soup has a very smokey taste to it. Delicious!

My favourite place to eat. The mushroom soup is really delicious and the salmon great. The chef offered to make me a chocolate cake with no flour.The staff are really wonderful.

AP is my favorite WDW restaurant. I recommend getting the wine flight as the servers do a great job in picking out the wine for each course. The salmon is wonderful, the scallops are great as well. We love the berry cobbler (especially with a glass of ice wine).

Artist Point is excellent. I have only had one lackluster meal there of all the times we've been, and that was a few years ago. Favorites for DH and I include the smoky portobello soup, the salmon, the pork chop, the cheese plate, and the berry cobbler. They used to have a "taste of the northwest" sampler entree (I think it was boar, rabbit, and venison) that DH just loved, but it's been off the menu for a while.The wine list is great--all pacific northwest wines. Service (with that one exception) has always been top notch. You should go, you won't regret it.

Yes, I think for a while a few years back, they had some problems there. When they first opened, they had this fantastic crab dish {gone, now} along with many other fine dishes. Then, they slowly started to "lose it" to a point where some of the dishes were pretty bad {boiled chicken was one} and we stopped going there. Now, we have started again, and are happy to see things have changed for the better.
We suspect a change in chef's. Perhaps?.......

Rather, I believe there was an interim period, where they went through a series of chefs. The earlist long-term chef at Artist Point was incredible. I met him several times actually, and he was as nice of a guy as he was a great chef.

We have never been to AP, but the recipe for the Smokey Portobello Soup is on allearsnet and it sounds wounderful. Then again, I am some kind of crazy cook willing to try anything! After reading what everyone is saying, and after reading some recipes , I may have to rethink our dining plans. Thanks for all your help!

I agree... and I HATE mushrooms! I couldn't believe how good it tasted when I finally got up the nerve to try it. Now I am upset that I missed out on it so many times!

Add another vote for Artist Point. I have heard several Cast Members say it is their favorite restaurant.

AP is one of my favorite restaurants. The last time we ate there was in Oct. 2005, and it was great. I love the salmon and the berry cobbler - yum! Service has always been good for us.

Can anyone comment on how the buffalo steak is different from a regular steak (besides that it comes from a buffalo ) ?

Can anyone comment on how the buffalo steak is different from a regular steak (besides that it comes from a buffalo ) ?

the major diffrence is that the buffalo is extremely low in fat content and as a result if it is cooked too long it will tend to get hard and difficult to eat that is the reason you tend to order it rare or medium rare. hope that helps

 

[Leota]

AP is one of our Favorites. The Buffalo is my favorite. I find it a little richer than beef. But absolutely do not order it past medium-rare. Like gokenin said, it is very lean & will get tough if it's overcooked.

Artist Point has remained consistently good for the past several years. Their two specialties are, and always have been, cedar plank salmon and berry cobbler. Both dishes are very good. Do not hesitate to vist the restaurant, you won't be disappointed.
