EPCOT - best ADR for a 12:30 or 1:00 PM lunch ?

[pooh2001]

We get off the plane at 10 AM and arrive at our resort by 11:30 PM.
If we stay at the Dolphin (or elsewhere on WDW property) - we like EPCOT as our first park to visit on day 1.

We like a sit-down place to eat. It will be June 2011.
New Mexico and Italy restaurants should be open.

DH likes salads and eats about anything.
DS likes steaks and potatoes, but could do pizza, but hates pasta.
DD loves Lobster Bisque and patas/pizza.
DW likes chicken and pizza (but I do watch my calories).

Should we do....
Teppan Edo ?
Le Cellier ?
New Italy pizza sit-down restaurant ?
Coral Reef ?


Where should we eat our first meal at WDW in EPCOT ?

Thanks !

I'm interested in people's opinions too ....

Three of us love seafood, but the fourth who may or may not be coming isn't crazy for seafood.

Coral Reef sounds like it would be the best match! We had a really enjoyable lunch there.

I thought the new Italy was just Cs not TS.
I would go w/ a 12:noon.

Lobster bisque you could get at Coral Reef we are trying here for lunch first time this year.Pizza for kids. Lobster ravioli, I can't wait to try.

LeCellier is always good. Whole family enjoys something from here.

Tutto Italia we are also trying for the first time this year.

Teppan Edo will probably try next vacation. My DS is not that into kids choices.

You didn't mention Chefs de France. We lunched there a couple of years ago and were very impressed. Had issues with Coral Reef and won't go back.
My wife and I both had;
The French Menu - The classic onion soup topped with Gruyere cheese, the Classic French toasted ham and cheese sandwich served with a green salad, and baked vanilla creme brulee with a madeleine. - $19.95
One of our girls had:
Demi poulet fermier roti Pommes puree au basilic et tomate braisee - Half of an all natural roasted chicken, basil mashed potatos and braised tomato. - $16.95
The other had:
Blanc de Poulet aux Nouilles - Breaded chicken strips served with pasta. Includes choice of whole milk, 2% milk, apple juice or orange juice. Soft drinks available upon request, refills available. - $7.00

Well just a thought. Have a magical time.
