So many good meals, so little time...
I haven't had a BAD experience yet, but plenty of good ones. And I honestly can't single one restaurant out above the rest as "THE ONE", because different ones were special for different reasons....
I will say, however, that going into a restaurant with zero expectation can seriously work in your favor. DH and I went into Whispering Canyon with our 3 kids on a last minute PS (our last night at VWL and just didn't feel like cooking or eating left-overs, or heading out anywhere, either!) I had heard mixed reviews, and so I had very low expectations -- might be good, might not, but at least I'm not the one fixin' it, so that works for me. DH had no clue at all about the place (he didn't even know enough not to ask for ketchup...
) and certainly my kids were in the dark. The whole family absolutely loved it. DH's pork chops were perfect, my ribs were great, more food than any of us could eat...and the antics between our server and our kids kept us all in stitches. My second eldest son has a tendency to NEVER SIT STILL and when the waiter decided to fix the problem by "tying" him to the chair with this massive heavy-duty rope, it was a true kodak moment. We got a huge kick out of watching what happened to other people, too. All in all, a very fun, filling, memorable meal.
We also had low expectations of Chef Mickey's for dinner -- but again, kids loved it, and fun was had by all.
