Critique my dining choices

[hgbluesparkles]

A little background: DFi and I (both 24) are going to WDW for our honeymoon March 20-27. We're on the DDP. Neither of us has been to Disney in the last 12-15 years and both us barely remember what we ate last time we were there. We both really enjoy dining out and trying all sorts of foods. We like fine dining as well as simple foods. In other words, we're not picky as long as it tastes delicious! I do not eat any red meat or pork however and actually become quite ill if I do so keep that in mind. These are the dining ressies I've either made or am hoping to make (they won't take ressies before March 23):

Les Chefs de France (I wanted Le Cellier but it's booked)
Boma
'50s Prime Time Cafe
Crystal Palace (breakfast)
Either Kona or Tony's Town Square or The Wave (help me choose!)
The Coral Reef
Narcoosees
Big River Brewing Company (DFi has to go here because he does a thing called Beer Advocate where he reviews microbrews and it's the only restaurant in the World they have on there)

Do these sound ok? I know I really have to choose myself but I'm looking for input as someone who's planning things for the first time as an adult.

I think you'll find that Les Chefs de France will more than make up for missing out on Le Cellier. It was my favorite meal even when compared to the signature dining at California Grill and Artist's Point.

Boma is another wonderful choice you made. Exquisite food and nice atmosphere.

I was very disappointed with the Crystal Palace when we ate there. I don't know if it was the wait staff or if my expectations were higher than realistic, but I would much rather go to the Liberty Tree Tavern myself.

Your choices are good. I would definately choose the Wave as it was fantastic. The prime time cafe is the only choice that may disappoint you. the food is good but they rush you due to the crowds. If you are open to suggesstions in Hollywood studios I would recommend Mama Melrose if you like italian or Hollywood and Vine if you would like a fabulous buffet. Enjoy yourself and have a magical vacation

We love Crystal Palace and have eaten there twice. If you like to meet the Pooh characters it will add a little something extra to the meal. I thought the buffet food was quite good as well.
We haven't tried The Wave, but plan to on our next trip. We love Kona and are going back. We've eaten at Tony's and enjoyed it as well. I'm sorry I'm not much help on that choice. Of the three I'd have to pick Wave since I haven't tried it and have heard excellent reviews.
We were not happy with Coral Reef when we ate there. The aquarium was okay, but we were seated far away and couldn't see much. I didn't think the food was all that spectacular either.
Those are the only ones I've tried from your list. If you are looking for any more suggestions I would recommend Spoodles at Boardwalk.

We loved the Crystal Palace

Les Chefs de France (I wanted Le Cellier but it's booked) We had an incredible meal here this past April (pics in my thread) and honestly I would pick Chefs over Le Cellier anyday!

Boma We LOVE breakfast here but didnt like dinner at all....pics and full reviews are in my Oct thread

'50s Prime Time Cafe The best fried chicken, lots of fun and great atmosphere

Crystal Palace (breakfast) Great food, can get loud in there but we like to go super early and get in before the park opens, it isnt too loud right at 8am

Either Kona or Tony's Town Square or The Wave (help me choose!) Our Kona dinner was just so so, could take it or leave it. We went to Tonys for lunch in Oct and it was awesome, we enjoyed it so much that we are going to try dinner there in 3 weeks! I would love to try the Wave but DH isnt too keen on the menu

The Coral Reef We ate here many many moons ago and remember enjoying it. We are going back in 3 weeks so I hope it is really good!

'50s Prime Time Cafe - A must do every time for us. It does tend to be crowded and sometimes no character play, but the food is great.

Crystal Palace (breakfast) - We love the breakfast and the characters. It can take a little time for them to make their way all the way around. We always get the first seating so we can be in MK before it opens.

Either Kona or Tony's Town Square or The Wave (help me choose!) - We love Kona, but haven't been there in over a year and I think the menu has changed.

The Coral Reef - ate there in January for the first time and loved it. The menu is a little limited, but the atmosphere is dark and somewhat quiet.

MikiNikki, just checked out your review of Chefs and was pleased to see that you and your DH had the two dishes I'm contemplating there. Looks great! Also, checked out the Kona review and saw you're from Massachusetts like me, woo-hoo!

Thanks everyone for the reviews! Can't say I'm any clearer on whether to try The Wave, Kona, or TTS so keep the recs coming.
