What's your favorite of the newer restaurants? It's been 5 years since we've been and a lot has changed! We will be there at the beginning of January and want to add some new places to our list. So far the only must-do for us is Sanaa (hopefully it's still good) and maybe Sci-Fi.
 
Depends on what you're looking for. We love the modified character breakfast at Topolino's (Riviera resort) and also dinner there - great fireworks view from terrace. The revamped Citrico's (Grand Floridian) was very good as well (dinner only). Very recently Steakhouse 71 (Contemporary) opened and I'd argue it has the best burger on property (smash burger style) -- think the burger may be only for lunch but dinner has been getting good reviews too. Currently closed but Takumi Tei in the Japan pavilion is outstanding. Space 220 is a fun experience if you can get a seat in the lounge. I'm not sure I'd recommend the prix fixe in the restaurant. - the whole place is really more about the experience than the food. That's all I can think of in terms of newer spots.
 
We had lunch at Steakhouse 71 last week and the grilled cheese was terrific! DH can't have gluten and even though it wasn't on the allergy menu they made him one on gluten-free bread. If you're considering Disney Springs, we were really impressed by The Edison (although it's pretty loud if they have live entertainment when you go) and Maria and Enzo's (food was great, and the first view of the dining room took our breath away).
 

On our last trip we ate at Steakhouse 71 (new), Space 220 (new), Citricos (new menu and decor). They were all really good for different reasons - Steakhouse 71 was casual, but the food tasty and the service great - if you are in the MK area and are looking for a resort TS, it's a solid choice. Space 220 was a lot of fun and the food was very good - if you can't get a reservation, consider waiting in line for the lounge if you have any interest. Citricos was outstanding - the food and new decor were incredible. I highly recommend it.
 
Space 220 is the best new restaurant for the overall experience. Make sure you check out the drink menu for some visually fun twists.

Citrico’s has great food and decor is Mary Poppins which is classically nice. CA Grill had the least memorable food but the best views for those firework observers.

those are from my experiences last week, I’m sure there are other great restaurants but those are the ones I visited.
 
Topolino's! Dinner was fantastic, although the view at CG still gives it the slight edge IMO.

And also not super new, but Skipper Canteen at MK is also a good TS option with a fun atmosphere.
 
Topolinos absolutely! Been there twice and its on our return list next spring. Our other standout was Jaleo in Disney Springs.
 
We ate at Steakhouse 71 on October 8th. It was outstanding! My wife had the Prime Rib, Me and my kids all had the Filet. Best bang for the buck for sure and oh so good! They did over cook my steak a little but honestly, it was so good I didn't dare send it back lol.

we also ate at Space 220 on October 7th. Food was good but expensive. It is worth going to al least once.

Last but not least. We had City Works at Disney Springs October 3rd. This is a must for us after trying it back in May.

We loved City Works, too! Ate there this past Sunday. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his burger, while I chowed down on the Nashville Hot chicken wrap. Kids enjoyed pepperoni flatbread & mini cheeseburger sliders. Kinda like high quality sports bar food. Can’t wait to go back!!
