Easy TS from Epcot

[jennyf2]

Good Morning!

I'm still trying to get my FINAL ADR at Coral Reef on 8/26--BUT if that doesn't work I would love any suggestions. What would be a good restaurant outside of Epcot that is easy to get to? I would love to leave for a bit for dinner & then return to the park for EMH In all our trips we have never been to EPCOT so I'm at a loss.

We already have reservations at the following:
Cape May, Le Cellier, WCC, Raglan Road, Chef Mickeys, & ????? (HELP)!

Thanks

What about wolfgang pucks or planet hollywood? In the park you could maybe get Bierengarten.

By the way good luck with the coral Reef on the 26th. I recently added 1 more person to our party and went from 5 to 6. I have called 2x a day for a week and they haven't been able to add a person... oh, well, I guess my husband will just have to take the kids alone!! LOL!

Just thought of another one.... what about ESPN or one of the other boardwalk restaurants. I don't know how old your kids are but my boys love the theme at ESPN. The food isn't bad but I have definitely had better at Disney.

Something fun for the boys would be Beaches and Cream. Not an expensive restaurant, but has a nice atmosphere and the ice cream is fabulous - especially the Kitchen Sink. Another option might be Big River Grill on the Boardwalk. Hope this helps.

Captain's Grille at the Yacht Club is usually available and is easy to get to. And the food is good, too.

I also suggest Captains Grille. We had great food and service there and it's often overlooked, so much easier to get an ADR there.

We loved Kouzzina on our trip (just got back a couple of days ago). It's on the Boardwalk and very easy to get to from Epcot. You can take the boat (goes directly to Boardwalk, no stops in between!), or you could easily walk from Epcot.

We were not planning to go to Kouzzina, but when we entered Cape May for dinner, my son had an immediate allergic reaction to the steam from the crab legs. I had no idea they steamed them right there at the buffet and he got a stuffy nose and his face started to turn red so we immediately left. The manager was very gracious and asked us if we wanted her to make arrangements at a different restaurant. We asked for Kouzzina and it was available right away so we walked right over. Food was fantastic and so was the service! Since you are trying to get Coral Reef, if fish is what you are looking for, they had a few different fish entrees. They also had steak, lamb and a sampler. DH got the lamb shank and loved it, I got the trio sampler (cinnamon stewed chicken, mini lamb burger and pastitsio which is a Greek lasagna). Everything was delicious, and they had a regular kids' menu so nothing too exotic for the kids. We had spanakopita (spinach pie) for an appetizer and baklava for dessert and those were very good as well. We will definitely return!!

Last time we were at WDW we went to Kouzzina and I got the whole fish, so I can speak to that...

It was pretty fantastic. The fish was cooked perfectly, flaky, tender and light, and seasoned with lemon and Mediterranean herbs and spices. At the time, it was a kind of snapper, but I believe that it changes frequently with the best fish available for such a cooking style.

Just thought I'd add to the rave.
