Best All-around (food & view) -
California Grill. Recently renovated and re-opening in September. The view of Magic Kingdom and fireworks is unsurpassed. A truly unique Disney experience.
Best Service (jacket required for gentlemen) -
Victoria & Albert. Service like this is not easy to find in America. If you get the Chef's Table for an anniversary dinner, this would be truly special. But be advised, the fare on the standard tasting menu is not for everyone.
Best Food -
blueZoo in Dolphin (close to Yacht Club). No restaurant at Disney has as many choices for fish, particularly whole fish. Since this is not part of Disney Dining, you will likely find fewer children. Lastly, the spacing between tables is more conducive to a special occasion.
For the record, when we stay on Boardwalk, we always eat at blueZoo. When we stay on Monorail, we always eat at CA Grill. And when CA Grill was not accepting reservations during renovations, my wife decided she was willing to bring along a 'fancy' dress and that I should bring a jacket for an evening at Victoria & Albert. We dine at all three in just over 60 days.
