Besides BOG, best MK restaurant for dinner??

[mrzrich]

We just ate at LTT a week ago and experienced nothing like the video. The video review was at Thanksgiving which is a busy time. When we were there for dinner, nobody was standing to wait. We barely sat down to wait and they called us to be seated. The plates were triangular and I don't think a single plate was exactly the same because the patterns/colorings were different, which my teenage daughter loved. The service was good and the server was attentive.

The salad was good, nothing extra special. The rolls and butter were yummy and didn't look like the disks in the video. They were light and fluffy and I ate more than I should've. The food was hot. It was one of the best tasting meals we had the whole trip. The meat was fork tender. We liked the mac and cheese. The only food that we didn't eat a lot of were the green beans because Disney loves to put french fries and green beans as sides with a lot of their QS & TS meals and frankly, we were sick of green beans. The dessert was hot and was really good too and looked nothing like the two disks of bread/muffin-like things in the video. The sauce with the bread and ice cream was so good and we didn't think we could eat it after the big yummy meal but we did! The amount of food was a lot and you could get more if you wanted more.

Again, keep in mind that the video above is during Thanksgiving and it sounded like it was really busy and they were swamped, which would explain the cold food. Our food was not even plattered like the video, either. It was plattered more like dinner at Garden Grill (only better). Again, one of our best meals of our 10 day trip.

Glad that you had a good experience, I unfortunately did not. I did not go during a peak time and my experience was much like the one described in the video.

I'm sorry to hear that! I guess each restaurant can go through periods of good and bad food/service, etc. I had a not-so-good experience at BOG and other people love that restaurant.

When people recommend dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern, I scratch my head and wonder if they ate at the same place that I did. My experience was much like the one described in this review by the Disunplugged

I thought I was the only person in the world that didn't like LTT. Do you know how many people I could feed Thanksgiving dinner to for the price you pay there? A lot. Not worth the food and price. Cook Thanksgiving dinner yourself and 40+ people for the price you pay for one person there.

For the MK area I always prefer to eat outside the park at one of the monorail resorts. One of my favorites is The Wave. This is an underrated restaurant and I have always had a great meal and service there. Also since you are in the area your DDs may like 1900 Park Fair. This is a good buffet and the character interaction has always been good there.

Oh, good recommendation for 1900 Park Fair -- working through my sister's dining plan and I think that's a good alternative to CP since her kiddos are not so interested in Winnie & friends.

Not to hijack this thread, but if eating at one of the monorail resorts, should one expect to be out of MK for at least 2 hours?

I would plan for 2 - 2 1/2 hours. But for me it's worth it. Nice little break, grab a bite, check out one of the resorts and then head back to the MK.

I would also head out to the Wave at the Contemporary, Kona Cafe at the Poly or The Grand Floridian Cafe or 1900 Park Fare at the GF.

I really like LTT or Tony's town square. DH loves the turkey meal and my kids LOVE eating at the lady and the tramp spaghetti place.
