Does Artist Point suck?

I don't know what pictures you've been looking at but they must have been poor ones. This place is visually stunning.

Of course, you are there to dine so how is the food? Great! The menu has a lot of choices that you just don't find anywhere else. Things like buffalo venison. Their wine list is pretty good too featuring wines from the Pacific northwest.

Artist Point is my favorite! The food is wonderful, the staff are amazing. Overall have had some really great experiences there!

Well, that is certainly how you should judge a restaurant - by pictures of the dining room.

AP is one of my favorite spots at WDW - the food is great, they have a very interesting wine list and the service has generally been quite good.

We were disappointed by Artist Point a few months ago. We used to love it. The cedar plank salmon is still good -- but seriously overpriced at nearly $40. The musrhoom soup is good. We didn't care for the buffalo steak at all. And, no doubt due to DDP, the dessert offerings are down to some totally uninpiring choices -- one is nothing more than a zebra dome and the other is the berry cobbler, which is 1/4 the size it used to be. Those desserts are $10 each.

We're skipping AP now. We still like Jiko.

We ate there in February and had some of the best service we've had in a restaurant, period. The food was great. I'd go back again in a heartbeat.

The prairie-style decor was just a bonus.

because we all have different likes and dislikes......whatever excites you is where you should go and eat......I have been in horrible looking places and the food was amazing.....so take it with a grain of salt.....and I dont mean the food.

It used to be my favorite restaurant, but has gone way down in quality over the last few years. On our last visit, the food was average, and in one case, sub-par. When we sent a plate back, the Chef actually came out and confronted us. It wasn't a pleasant, "what can I do to help?" talk. He was angry that we'd sent a plate back, and argued that it was cooked perfectly.

I also agree that the restaurant looks uninteresting. The lobby of Wilderness Lodge is "visually stunning." The dining room is ok.

And "judging a restaurant by pictures of the dining room?" Heck yeah! It's certainly something that I take into account. I'm interested in the whole dining experience: food, service, and AND atmosphere. Watch "Kitchen Nightmares." They nearly always redo the dining room when trying to fix a restaurant.

Ate there in September 2009 and had some of the worst service ever encountered in a restaurant. I have not been back there although I know service issues can depend even upon the individual server. Food was good although Elizabeth is right about the cobbler - it's seriously shrunken.

The OP can judge his restaurants any way he chooses. He has not violated board guidelines. And the word he used is not a filtered word. Please keep the attacks out of it.

WE ate there for the first time on our Feb. visit. The service was ok as well as the food. We had TIW and even with the discount, I don't feel the meals were worth their cost. I have had better meals at other TS at less cost.

I ate there once and it was so uninspiring that I really dont even remember it and it was only like 4 years ago that we ate there.

We've eaten there a couple of times and have always had a great time. The food is excellent and the location in beautiful!
