Best choice at Disney Springs, please

[iloveeeyore]

Hi, all!

This will be our first trip in 4 years and first visit to the new Disney Springs. We are trying to decide on 1 TS experience (OOP, no DDP this trip) for dinner. We have experienced Raglan Road several times and LOVE it, but are thinking about trying something different this time. We have one gluten-free member of our party. We have narrowed our choices down to:

Morimoto
Bongo's
Boathouse
Frontera Cocina (opening "early summer?")
and Raglan Road (if the consensus is that nothing else comes close)

Thanks!

Love Disney Springs! I did not enjoy Bongos that much. Raglan Road has never let me down so that gets my vote. Always fun, good meal and service. We can't turn away!

Thanks for your response. I fear we might have to stick with what's tried and true...and RR is GREAT for our GF needs. I had forgotten to include Boathouse on my list...would that change your recommendation?

Thanks!

We did the Boathouse this last trip--and loved it!!

I can't help with prior experience, but my wife and I have a ressie at BOATHOUSE for our Nov/Dec trip and it's the meal I'm most looking forward to. Hopefully they won't disappoint.

I do not get the rave about the Boathouse maybe it's us but it's very expensive. I would still vote for RR. The place makes me smile like BOG! If I list what we like you can think if we have taste in common or not. Prime Time, BOG, RainForest Cafe, Olivias, Beaches and Cream, Hollywood and Vine. Sci Fi dinner. Oh and we do like Tonys! We must be the only ones... Lol.

We had an excellent meal at Morimoto's in March- restaurant is beautiful, service was awesome, and the food was amazing. I heard lots of mixed reviews before going but we had no complaints and will definitely go back.

If you've done RR before & want something different, I'd do Morimoto!
We went in Feb for the first time and absolutely LOVED it, we split apps and each got ramen and the sake sangria, and it was all AMAZING, service was awesome, and it ended up being cheaper than we thought it would too!

I'm most looking forward to Frontera Cocina (ADRs can be made on www.opentable.com now for your trip) and Homecoming Kitchen, which may or may not open before you go. Otherwise, I'd go to Raglan Road for sure.

My vote would be for the House of Blues, The Shrimp and Grits was delicious.

Bongos never lets me down. It's my must do.

As a person with Celiac, I have to advocate for the gluten free member of your party. I recommend Raglan Road. They are great at working with gluten free foods and have lots of options! Plus its a fun dining experience.

Thank you, everyone, I appreciate your input! We have decided to have a pre-dinner cocktail at Bongo's and have made an ADR for dinner at Raglan Road. At this point, it does seem like the most GF-friendly of the options.

Bongos every time for me. I LOVE cuban food, and cuban coffee, and the place is lively. They have had live music every time I went there.
