Best Dinner in DTD?

[peterpanandwendy]

Hi again everyone!

So we are arriving in Anaheim on a Monday afternoon, and plan on using the hotel pool before having dinner in DTD, then going to bed early for MM in Disneyland on Tuesday…

So… DTD dinner options with a 3 and 1 year old… suggestions? We have done Rainforest Cafe and I was less than impressed honestly…

Naples looks good, and I LOVE traditional pizzas… so that might be an option…

Any favourites out there?

Naples is great, we took our family there a couple times. it's basically "counter service" so there isn't much seating inside.

We ate at the UVA bar a couple of times and enjoyed it. It's out ide and kids can be there / sit at the table / kids menu.

Naples was okay, but it didn't really wow me. The pizzas were much better than the entree (e.g., pasta) dishes that I've had, so I would stick to the pizza. There is Naples (the sit down restaurant) and Napolini (the counter service).

My favorite DTD venue is Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen. The food is outstanding and it has a pretty good atmosphere. I've been there for lunch with an almost 3 year old and she seemed to enjoy it.

Steakhouse 55 in the DLH.

We have taken the family to Naples several times and we have always liked it. We have never done anything besides the table seating and there is actually quite a lot of indoor seating, as well as an outdoor area. Naples is not counter service, that is Napolini (as pointed out above). The only thing we have ever had there was the pizza and it is very good.

Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen is the one we seem to find ourselves at most often and it looks like they have a lot of choices on the kids menu.

Absolutely our favorite restaurant, food-wise, resort-wide. Everything there is great.

If it doesn't have to be in DTD but one of the resorts, we like Storytellers in the GCH. In DTD, with toddlers, Naples is a great idea. My kids have always enjoyed their pizza and they have outside seating which is fun with kids.

We enjoyed eating outside at Tortilla Joes. They will make guacamole right at your table (to your taste) and have someone walking around making balloon creatures--fun for the kids! There were so many places I wanted to try, though...just ran out of days

Napa Rose, if including resorts!!

Outside....don't eat Italian , so haven't tried Naples. Tortilla Jos is overpriced and only okay.
I like House of Blues.

My favorites in DTD are Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen (be sure to have a reservation) and Tortilla Joe's. Someone mentioned the guacamole at TJ's -- it is a must have.

Casual, UVA wine bar if food is the goal and not amazing ambiance (although I like the ambiance). Jazz Kitchen is also very good. Both can make a proper Manhattan.

If you are including the Resort Hotels as DTD, the character dining at the hotels are always fun for kids. I like Goofy's Kitchen. Peanut Butter Pizza!

My vote is for Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen. Superb quality of food, best choices, and it is one of the few places I feel in the resort that actually captures a fine dining experience. In the most nicest tone, I don't recommend Naples.

We love Ralph Brennan's too. We've gone for dinner with kids and they've been entertained by the live music. We love the food.

Does mcdonalds across the street from the busses count as downtown disney. If so, I choose that

 

[Fantaluminishes]

We've has Ralph Brennan's on two occasions. Once for lunch and once for dinner. We didn't care for the dinner at all. Service was not great, food was blah. The band was pretty good. Lunch was nice. The po boys were really good.

We're at Disney now, and don't plan on going back to Brennan's. Gonna try House of Blues tomorrow (hopefully), and Catal for dinner on Friday, for sure.

Naples has quite a bit of seating...some of the first floor and outside and then a lot more upstairs. My kids enjoyed it when they were younger and all they wanted to eat was pizza or buttered noodles.

My favorite is the Jazz Kitchen, hands down, though I find myself going to Tortilla Jo's more often lately. They have delicious tableside guacamole, and I really like their chicken enchilada suizas. Catal's is also really good, but more expensive, in my opinion.

Storytellers used to be a family favorite. They are worth checking out, and I like their kids meals.
