I went to Artist Point with my two year old daughter and my sister in August 2006 when I stayed at the Wilderness Lodge. We chose the first dinner seating of the evening, because we were travelling with a child. I figured that if she got restless that I could always take her upstairs to our room. They were great with my daughter. The waiter gave her some crayons and everything went smoothly.
It was a nice dinner, and the food was okay. But I must say, we had MUCH better food at both Wolfgang Puck's Cafe and Kona Cafe. I read somewhere that the chef that was at Kona in 2006 was moved to Narcoosees. If that's the case, then Narcoosee's is probably phenomenal, because that dinner at Kona's was the best meal ever!
The problem with Artist Point was that my buffalo steak was tough and my sister's salmon was dry. It didn't ruin the meal for us, but it wasn't great either. We could have sent the food back, but I had the impression that it wouldn't have made a difference.
I did eat at California Grill once in 2003, and it was amazing. The food was prepared to perfection.
I haven't been to Narcoosee's since 1992, so I am sure it's changed quite a bit. And I have never been to Citricos.
This Christmas, we are staying at the AKL, and I want to try Jiko's. Also, I want to try one other signature dining experience. I just don't know which one? Can anyone help?
I don't really care about atmosphere--I am looking for the best food.
