Hi everyone!
This is a great FAQ. After reading it all it seems theres not much on the restaurants. So I thought that our Jiko review of last August might be helpful. Here you go:
"Dinner Jiko
4 stars! This was fabulous, once again. We arrived at sunset Sun. evening by car from PO-FQ. You do have to pay $6 for valet here. The resort is as beautiful as ever and the lobby was very busy, as was Boma. However, Jiko was quiet. We asked the CM if we could spend time looking around the resort first, as our friends were new to the place. The animals were mostly very hidden or quiet. Only saw 1 giraffe. Anyway, we took our time getting to the restaurant, but were seated immediately. Tommi was our server and she was great! Been there since the restaurant opened (when we visited the first week they were open). Tommi was very helpful and informative with the wine and menu items. She told us that some items like the marinated Ahi tuna appetizer have been altered slightly because they have a new chef (see Disney Magazine fall 2002 article). Anyway, we were somewhat disappointed in the tuna as a result. Previously it was marinated in a vinaigrette, much more Asian flavors and tangy. Not anymore. It now has barley and beans and hummus. Unusual, still good, but not as good as the first version. DH had the smoked bacon and onion flatbread. Yummy. For entrees we chose the pan roasted monkfish and the Duck Confit and grilled Duck Sausage. The duck is unchanged, and still fantastic. The monkfish is a huge portion, pan fried (not roasted) and the vegetables and butter sauce were better than the fish. Parsnips were a nice addition. We split a bottle of wine with the entrees. Tommi let us taste a number of wines while selecting, made suggestions, described South African varieties, and even gave us phone numbers and web sites for ordering the wines we tasted. She encouraged us to share the tastes, passing around each glass, and made sure to remind us not to leave any unfinished glass on the table, as it is bad luck. Also, the last glass of our bottle was full of sediment. Not only did she notice when she removed or friend's glass, but she appeared later with a fresh glass from a new bottle. Very nice! We finished the meal with the Walts Gala Apple crumble and Black mission fig napoleon. The figs dish is VERY strong in flavors. The apple dish is very good. DH also had a glass of sambuca. For 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 deserts, ½ bottle wine and 1 sambuca the total was around $100 (lost receipt, sorry)."
