Favorite Epcot Table Service

[jaman12]

What is your favorite table service meal at Epcot? I have my ADRs made for February. I have Via Napoli booked for supper right now for our night in Epcot but I am thinking about changing it. We are dining as a family of 4 with (picky) kids aged 6 and 10. They like pizza but wouldn't be surprised if they turned their noses up at anything other than Dominos or Papa Johns.

I am not totally against seafood but haven't really considered any places that serve it because we are from the south and seafood is our specialty.

Give me your suggestions and thoughts, please. Thanks!!!

That's a tough question, because the places at Epcot get such mixed reviews all around.

We like Rose and Crown a lot, but other ppl will list it as their least favorite.

We though Marrakesh was really boring and disappointing, and I'm not sure your picky kids would like it anyway.

San Angel Inn used to be awful, but lately it's been getting pretty good reviews. Again, with picky kiddos it might be a gamble since it's more traditional Mexican food, not Tex-Mex like you're probably used to.

Beirgarten gets both really good and really bad reviews. We haven't been there--the whole "communal tables and Oompa band" vibe isn't really for us.

Um, let's see...Garden Grill has been getting *awful* reviews of late, so I might skip that. Coral Reef was pretty good when we went for lunch, and the tank's really cool. Your kids might enjoy that.

I've not eaten at the new restaurants in Italy (new as opposed to Alfredo's, which we hated), so I can't give an opinion there. Via Napoli might be a good choice, because the menu looks pretty well-rounded.

Teppan Edo is a standard Japanese steakhouse style place. We weren't very impressed, but it's been a long time. Nine Dragons is ok, but not stellar.

I would recommend checking out menus, maybe with your kids, and find out what appeals to them. You could always hit one of the Epcot resorts instead: it's a short walk or boat ride to BW, Y/BC, Swan, or Dolphin.

We really enjoyed Chefs de France and Rose & Crown.
Have you looked through the menus on allears.net? We narrow down our choices by reviews and whether or not everyone can find a plate they'd eat

We loved Via Napoli, best pizza I have ever had. My wife had a pasta dish, doesn't remember which one, but said that it was the best she had ever had and she was raised eating Italian.

San Angel Inn outside on the water is superb, never had anything there that wasn't great. Different menu from the one inside.

The Chinese and Japanese were both very good, no complaints. Crown and Rose, we didn't think it was anything special. There is a reason there are no English cook books.

Coral Reef was also good, not great but then I am used to seafood from the Gulf Coast.

The food at some of the resorts is surprising good. Enjoy.

A short walk out the international gate to Boardwalk and eat at the ESPN Club, it has food most picky eaters will eat.

For Table Service in Epcot the best, as far as both food and service, is Bistro de Paris upstairs in the France Pavilion.

My favorite Table Service Restaurants inside Epcot is Le Cellier and Via Napoli.

I love eating at Epcot.. Last time we were there we ate at la hacienda.. we loved it.. I always love Le cellier, but I venture to say that with your trip in February you will never be able to get a reservation there now.. But, as others have said, if you have picky eaters, walk out the back way and over to the Boardwalk to the ESPN club.. they have everything.. burgers, steaks, pasta dishes, appetizers, etc..

We havent eaten at too many table service restaurants in Epcot b/c we usually enjoy counter service stops around the world to be able to have a wide range of tastes. We do always enjoy San Angel Inn inside of the Mexican pavilion. The atmosphere is so charming and we've never had a bad dish.

Our favourites at Epcot are Via Napoli and Chefs des France.

We enjoyed Chefs de France and Le Cellier for lunch.

We also liked Teppan Edo, Garden Grill, and La Hacienda.

My kids absolutely loved the pizza at Via Napoli. It is on our list now as a must do

We just ate at Via Napoli, while me and DH enjoyed our pasta dishes DS had the issue with the pizza that you're describing. He's a very picky eater and only ate a few bites of eat. To be honest I tried it too and I'd prefer Dominoe's! My pasta was really good though, had the Candele and the zeppole dessert was amazing!

We love Le Cellier. DS will eat there too.

I would vote for Via Napoli for a fun relaxed family experience with great service, followed by Bistro de Paris for a more romantic adult experience with great service as well! Both are unique and two of our favorites in the World Showcase.

We love

Biergarten--You need to like German food and be able to deal with sharing a table. We've been 3 times and have met some fun people.

Garden Grill--The menu is limited, but we've enjoyed the food and service. Great character interaction

Coral Reef--LOVED this on our last trip. We'll go back. The view wasn't as exciting as we were far away, but the food was yummy. It wasn't as easy to find as we expected, though.

We always enjoy Tutto Italia. My husbands favourite is Chefs de France and we also had a good time at Biergarten. We've eaten in almost all of the restaurants at Epcot now. Those are the three we plan to go back to on this trip.
