Well, my family decided to try mostly restaurants we hadn't been to before, and the results were very positive. I'll give a rating out of five stars.
SIT DOWN
Boma(*****) - This was my favorite of the trip. I love trying new stuff and everything was so good. The rest of the family, though more timid eaters, gave it a big thumbs up (especially the desserts). Service was unobtrusive and quite attentive.
Biergarten(****) - This was Dad's favorite of the trip (likely due to our very sweet waitress). We did have excellent and friendly service and enjoyed the entertainment very much. The beer was very good. The food varied a lot, but I was able to find something for each course that I enjoyed greatly.
Sci Fi(**1/2) - I can't help liking this place for the cute cars. As always, service was below par (probably worst of the trip, though not terrible), but we had a fun time and the burgers and shakes were yummy. We split stuff to save room for dinner.
50's Prime Time (***1/2) - This meal was great, execpt that we ate right before park closing and the restaurant was pretty empty. Plus we were seated by the door to the kitchen which distracted a little. That aside, our aunt and the cousins in the same section were very funny and we all had a good time. The food was super and we capped the meal off with S'mores!
Ohana (****) - This was the meal I was most anticipating and it didn't disappoint. The only downside was this was our third buffet or "all you can eat" meal and I didn't think I'd ever be able to eat again. We had a lovely window seat and attentive and outgoing service. The food was very good and I stuffed myself like a pig (10 shrimp!).
Chefs de France (****) - We had a great lunch here. Service, atmosphere, and food were all excellent. It was elegant, which is a nice change while at Disney, though we had more fun at some of the other venues.
Mama Melrose's (****1/2) - This was Mom's favorite. Also, the best service of our stay - out waiter was super. The food was very good, though not totally top notch. It was a great last meal of our vacation and perhaps the only one that didn't feel a little rushed (We had done and seen everything and were quite tired by that point).
COUNTER SERVICE
Columbia Harbour House(**) - We ate here as part of the Keys to the Kingdom tour. While the food was only OK in our opinion, the quiet setting upstairs was a nice respite from the Magic Kingdom.
POFQ Food Court(**1/2) - We ate here several times during our stay. Mostly for breakfast, once for dinner. Overall, the staff was friendly and the food tasted pretty good. Plus, we always found a clean table without any searching. The decor doesn't do much for me, though.
Flame Tree BBQ (***) - We ate down by the water, which was quiet yet festively decorated. The food must have been good; we all cleaned out plates.
Tangerine Cafe (***1/2) - This was the best counter service, by far. I had the lamb plate and it was really yummy. The Tangerine Coffee with orange liquer was a perfect compliment. Plus, it was a great respite from the rain (the only time in rained on our trip - that we were awake).
Casey's (**) - We had hot dogs. They were quite good, but it was an all-around average experience.
