Coral Reef, Biergarten, or Concourse? 3 small kids

[mikeandsunshine]

So we were going to do Garden Grill as our last sit down meal of the trip, and after reading all the reviews and all the yummy resteraunts, there are just so many we want to try and I decided to do away with GG. Now I am debating between Coral Reef and Biergarten. We have a 5 and 2 year old and a 9 month old. The only ADR for Le Cellier was at noon and we have a 10:15 breakfast with the princesses, could NOT cancel that.
I also thought maybe we could do a late dinner at the Concourse instead before going back to the hotel.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks! You guys have helped me so much with our first, of what I hope to be many trips.

We're not fond of Coral Reef, as we ate there in 2006 and 2007 and it had gone downhill (IMHO).

We did eat at Biergarten last Wednesday for the first time and while my DD (4 1/2)didn't eat a whole lot (salad and bread, mostly) she danced and danced and danced with her daddy on the dance floor. We also had a great server (Michael) who was the best we've had on property...

We did not like Biergarten when we ate there.

Last year we tried CR for the first time, and it was amazingly good. We're returning this year. The kids love the fish tanks.

Coral Reef is a favorite of ours & a must do. The Crab legs are great.

I know the Concourse is closing but not sure when. It is next to Chef Mickeys and will drive your kids crazy. From some tables you can see into Chef Mickeys.

There are just so many decisions, how do you fit it all in? I wasn't sure about the kid's menu at Coral Reef as my kids are not fond of grilled chicken or fish.

My kids love Biergarten. They are older than your kids though. (5, 9, 12) I think the food and entertainment are great. However, I don't know if buffet would be hard for you with the little ones. Also, it is loud in there and I don't know if that would be good or bad for you with the baby.

They have mac & cheese as an option.

With little kids you can grab a cs meal & let them eat it on the way to a restaurant. It is ok to just get them desert or soup. The Coral Reef is atmosphere +. It is worth waiting for a table in front of the tank.

Well first of all, Concourse is closing in late May unfortunately because it's one of the best kept secrets. It's VERY VERY VERY good.

If you are going after Concourse closes then I'd go with Biergarten. I hate going to buffets because it freaks me out on the germ scale but the Biergarten is one all actually go to. It's very good.

Coral Reef is pretty good also but I'm NOT a seafood fan whatsoever and although they do offer non-seafood fare, I'd never go unless someone else who was travelling with me wanted to.

So before late May= Concourse
After late May= Biergarten
Seafood?= Coral Reef

We did not like Biergarten either! Kids hardly ate a thing. We are trying CR for the first time this year.
