Here are my reviews from our recent short trip down to Disney World.
First off we stayed at Saratoga Springs and loved it there.
On to the reviews:

Saturday January 25th we did not eat breakfast just got a little fruit and cheese snack at Animal Kingdom. Was just enough to tide me over unil lunch.
-For lunch that day we sat at the bar at T-Rex. I had the chicken salad sandwich with waffle fries. The chicken salad was just ok, it needed some more salt/pepper or some other seasoning. My partner had one of the salads, not sure which one but he enjoyed it. Also had some adult beverages which are always a hit.
-Dinner we ended up at our favorite steakhouse Shulas at the Dolphin hotel. We always ask to sit in Perry's section, he is the best waiter on property in my opinion. I had their filet cook medium rare and my partner had the cowboy steak. Both were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. Didn't have any appitizers or side dishes but had a coffee with Baileys.

Sunday January 26th we had breakfast at the Artist Palatte at Saratoga. I had a western omelet and my partner had the childs platter which included scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage with a childs size drink. Both were good and filled us up enough until lunch. I also had a skinny vanilla late from Starbucks at the Fountain View Cafe in Epcot. Very good!!
-Lunch we at Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar at Epcot. We both enjoyed a wine flight. We also split a cheese platter. I also had a shot glass size dessert -that had chocolate cake and some fruit in it and it was excellent.
-Dinner we ate at Monsieur Paul in France at Epcot. This was one of the best meals we've had at Disney EVER! We ate the prefixed menu which was we both got escargot raviole, I had the Beef broth, oxtail, vegetables, black winter truffle, puff pastry soup thing. My partner had the lobster appetizer. We had the steak for two that came with potatoes and green beans. We each got a dessert which I can't remember what they were called but were the best we've ever had from a Disney restaurant. Normally we do not like their desserts but this was amazing!

Monday January 27th we didn't eat breakfast and headed to the Magic Kingdom.
-Lunch we ate at the Brown Derby Lounge at the Studios. This was a hidden gem! My partner had a meat and cheese appetizer and I had the beef sliders. These were perfect sizes for a small lunch. Plus they have cocktails available. Great place to sit outside and people watch.
-Dinner we were suppose to go to Bluezoo at the Dolphin but there was an IBM convention there and the place was crazy. We could not sit at a bar anywhere in both hotels due to private functions. So we got our table at Bluezoo and ended up walking out after sitting for 30 minutes and not ever seeing our server. So we ended up going to Bull & Bear at the Waldorf in the Bonnet Creek resort area. This was another spectacular meal. I had the lobster bisque, my partner started with the beef tartar, we both had filets and had some beignets. Great service, probably the best I've had in the Orlando area.

These are my reviews, let me know if anyone has any questions. Thanks!
 
Forgot to mention we bought a Tables in Wonderland card. We were able to get it with our AP discount for $100. We will be going to Disneyworld 3 times this year so we figured it would pay for itself. We used it everywhere we could. I highly recommend buying it if you plan to pay out of pocket for meals that accept the card. It takes 20% off the bill but adds in the 18% tip automatically.

Thanks for the reviews. I am considering getting the TIW card on my next trip. I need to sit down and figure it out to see if it would pay for itself. I think it will since me and my sister enjoy a nice bottle of wine each night for dinner.
 

Great reviews! Glad to hear you had some wonderful experiences.

Thanks! We like to try new places each time.

First time for us at Tutto Gusto, Monsiur Paul, Bull & Bear, Brown Derby Lounge.
