Epcot Area Dining Recommendation

[tiffany2009]

I would like some advice on a dining reservation in the Epcot area. We are going to be staying at the Yacht Club (after a cruise!) for three days. It will be our family of five (twin boys are 7, daughter is 5) and the grandparents. My father-in-law has a hard time hearing so I am looking for quieter restaurants if possible.

Here is what I have so far:

Yachtsman Steakhouse--Thursday (just the grandparents)
Tokyo Dining--Friday (the adults)
Via Napoli--Saturday (all seven of us)

Any other recommendations for Sunday night? I thought Via Napoli would be a good choice for kids and adults. However, I read some reviews on Via Napoli which were mixed and it seems it may be very noisy. I tried Coral Reef but they wanted to split up our party? We would like to stay in the Epcot area.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Captain's Grille at Yacht Club is one of our favorites.

So is the Cape May dinner at the Beach Club - it can be noisy if you are seated near the buffet line, but if you ask to be seated 'in the wings' (along the edges, farther back) then it isn't really noticeable.

There are some interesting spots in the Swan and Dolphin hotels as well, if you are not concerned with Dining Plan (none of the restaurants in those hotels take dining plan credits) - we like bluezoo and Il Mulino (which will be far quieter/calmer than Via Napoli would be).

I have to agree! We were really surprised at our meal in May at Captain's Grille. I had never thought of eating there and just decided to out of necessity. It was the best meal of the trip. It was quite and relaxing. You really do need to consider the time of day you are eating too. If you do a pretty early dinner, it will be quite at many restaurants. But by 6:00 or 6:30 every place will be crowded and at least a bit noisy. All the EPCOT restaurants will be pretty noisy. But you will probably have a calmer experience with Yachtsman Steakhouse. But I have had a noisy dinner there before. Time of day and time of year will mean a lot.

Restaurant.com often has coupons for the Swan and Dolphin restaurants. They are really good deals.

We will not be on the dining plan. I did not think of the restaurants at Swan & Dolphin. Captain's Grille would be a very easy option. I will look into it!

I'll add thumbs up for the Captain's Grille. We ate there for the first time on a Saturday night in July (our arrival night). It was not very crowded and we appreciated how calm and relaxing the dining experience was. Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids enjoyed everything we had, although the desserts were the least impressive part of our meals.
