Favorite restaurants that are not buffets

[sppunk]

Hi gang, we're looking at restaurants for dinner and wondering what your favorites are that aren't buffets. California Grill is a must-do for us (wife wants it!), and Artist Point most likely - we'll be staying in the WL, afterall.

Also, for reservations at other resorts for dinner - is it sometimes difficult to get back to WL? I know resort-to-resort transportation can be tricky sometimes.

Thanks.

The best restaurant at WDW is Artist Point, so you have that covered. Any of the signature restaurants would be great: I prefer Jiko, Flying Fish, Brown Derby and Citricos, to California Grill, Narcoossee or Yachtsman Steakhouse.

In the less expensive price range, 50s Prime Time Cafe is the best overall dining experience IMHO.

Whispering Canyon is always fun. We also like Spoodles, Mama Melrose, Liberty Tree Tavern and the Hoop Dee Doo Revue.

Kona is great too, either for breakfast or dinner. Transportation would be easy from WL, just take the boat to the CR then the monorail to the Poly.

Fulton's is great if you like seafood (it can expensive).

Jiko is always a must for us now. Worth the extra travel time. Flying Fish is really good.

DH and I loved Cali Grill in the wineroom. You can't see the fireworks but that's OK by me. It was quieter and more intimate. Ask when you check in for your ADR and they'll tell you how much longer the wait is for a table in there, if any more.

Also like Rose and Crown and Le Cellier. I ordered dessert off the kids' menu at Le Cellier...saw that chocolate moose and had to have it. Dh likes the ales in R&C.

Citricos was good too. Ate dinner there and then walked out to the boardwalk to see the fireworks. Almost froze in Dec '05 doing this but it was worth it.

Am debating about Brown Derby for our May trip.

M in Maryland where it's snowing
