Coral Reef, Garden Grill, or Via Napoli??

[Mary*Poppins]

I need some help... we are trying to decide between these 3 for our candlelight processional package! We have only been to Coral Reef before and liked it, so I'm not sure if we should try something new or not? We aren't picky eaters at all. just wondering what you guys would recommend!

Love Via Napoli! One of our favs!!!

They are all good, though we like the food at Via Napoli the best. I'll admit the only reason we go to Garden Grill is because Chip-n-Dale are my son's favorite characters

Haven't had a chance to try Via Napoli yet, but the Garden Grill has always been one of our favs!...And now with Soarin! right there...it's a marriage made in theme park heaven!
(We enjoyed Coral Reef too...ate there twice last December!)

Thanks!! Between all the replies so far, I think we are going to try something new! And I just read a really great dining review about garden grill also!

Via Napoli is an amazing meal!!!

The Garden Grill was the absolute worst meal we ever had on property. Lots like it... but it's not nearly as good as Via Napoli or Coral Reef.

Another Via Napoli vote.

We ate at all three in the past.
I think the service at Coral Reef has gone downhill BIG time. Our food was just ok.
We like Garden Grill for the characters plus the food is run of the mill basics..pretty tasty for us. It's one of the places we return to every year.
We just ate at Via this past Sept. We ordered pizza to share and there was a big mix up because we were on the dining plan. It finally got sorted out but it took alot longer than I think it should have. The pizza was very good though. Thin, crisp crust and the right amount of sauce and excellent toppings!

I've had all 3. Via Napoli had the best food, in my opinion. Coral Reef was good, Garden Grill was forgettable (I actually forgot we ate here last trip until I saw this post. )... Though the characters were fun to see, I just thought the food was meh... I'd say branch out and give Via Napoli a shot. And if you enjoy chicken parm, get that because it was delicious!

I would pick Garden Grill. Mostly because I have never tried it and want to and because it smells so damn good up there in that area of the Land Pavilion.

My first choice would be Garden Grill, then Via Napoli, then last would be Coral Reef. We've never had a bad meal at Garden Grill. We will be trying Via Napoli for the first time on our next trip. I've heard lots of good reviews for it. And Coral Reef just gets worse every time we go.

I'd pick Garden Grill. We get great pizza where I live, no need for us to pay Disney's inflated prices for it. Last time we went to Coral Reef, the food was horrid and the service was just as bad. (we went for lunch).

When we go in January we're headed to Garden Grill.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations! ugh, now I'm torn between via napoli and garden grill! Back to looking over the menus!

We've never done Via Napoli, but Garden Grill is one of our absolute favorites! The food is hot and fresh. My kids still talk about the sweet potato fries and beg to go back! So, we are going back for our Candlelight Processional package on the 3rd.

Another vote for Via Napoli. We love it. We didn't care for Coral Reef. We've never been to the Garden Grill, but it's on our list for next time.

 

[disneybass]

I would say to stick with Coral Reef. We always get a good meal there.

We've had all three as well and I'd throw my vote in for Garden Grill...

Simple, classic food, but it was excellent! The character interaction was great and we had fantastic service. Coral Reef was overpriced for the quality of the meal (but we were on the dining plan, so moot point). I didn't really like Via Napoli, but I didn't have the pizza, so maybe that would have influenced my above decision. Good luck choosing!!
