we just got back yesterday....ate at YS, Cindi, Le Cell, Hoop, CapnJacks, and had Tepanyaki. I would recommend Cindi, and Le Cell and if you like a show Hoop de doo was a lot of fun. Wouldn't recommend Yahtsman.
You will certainly get a lot of different opinions on what is everyone's favorites. These are mine:
Whispering Canyon Cafe at the Wilderness Lodge - great fun and great food
Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club - they have a wonderful clambake every evening
'50's PrimeTime Cafe - I'm not real crazy about the food but the antics are definitely worth going for if you've never tried it
It depends on what you like. We love steak and seafood so in that regard we think the best restaurants are Fulton's, Yachtsman and Portobello. When it comes to character meals I think 1900 Park Fare is one of the best. It all depends on what you're looking for.
Our favorites are:
Biergarten (well b/c my BF is German..but great food and entertainment if you are into that kind of food)
Beaches and Cream for the best Disney sundae
Boma's
Palio's at the Swan
As others have said I think it depends on your taste and family.....
Our favorites include California Grill, 1900 Park Fare, Sci Fi and used to be our arrival tradition to eat at Ohana, but with the changes we have scratched that from our list.
Best? Very difficult question to answer. Some places that we rate consistently high (but for varying reasons) are:
Vicky & Al's
Yachtsman Steakhouse
Artist Point
Olivia's
Jiko
le Cellier
Teppanyaki
Rose & Crown
Victoria and Alberts is the most expensive and exclusive.
California Grill gives a view that can't be beat (IMHO).
I had a peice of fish and Flying Fish I dream about.
My husband has a similar feeling about the steak at Jiko
(all the above are expensive).
Le Cellier serves a great steak for the price.
Kona Cafe is a good value
Sci Fi is an atmopsheric experiece
Whispering Canyona and 50s Prime Time are a lot of fun.
Marrakesh and Boma are unusual (I like Marrakesh, not fond of Boma, myself - but plenty of people are).
my family and i really enjoyed chef mickey's. i know a lot of people may say they didnt like the food too much, but i just came back from there and it was excellent. also coral reef restaurant is really good, and 1900 park fare
