Flying Fish, Il Mulino or Yachtsman Steakhouse?

[northwenald]

Trying to pick one of the above restaurants for our upcoming trip. I thought I would ask everyone for their reviews. It will be 6 adults. My DH and I LOVE Flying Fish and go everytime we go to WDW. I already have reservation at Flyng Fish. We are traveling with 4 other adults who have never been to Disney. Two of the adults do not eat seafood and one has an allergy to seafood. I know that Flying Fish has a steak dish. I on the other hand is Not a big fan of meat. I know we all like Italian food so that is why I thought maybe Il Mulino. We all will be staying at the Boardwalk Villas and will be heading to Epcot after dinner for Illuminations so that is why I would like to eat in the Epcot area. I could not get anything at Via Napoli. I have never been to Il Mulino and it has been many years since DH and I went to Yactsman Steakhouse. I would love any input on these 3 restaurants.
Thanks again for all your help !!!!!

Il Mulino....YUM! Delicious food! Going back there again in March. You can also save a little money but going to restaurant.com website to purchase a $25 gift certificate (last year I had a code so I only paid $2.00 for the $25 certificate!)

Never been to Il Mulino but it sounds like Yachtsman would be a better choice than Flying Fish if 3 people won't be having seafood (I like both, but I prefer Yachtsman overall, even though I'm a seafood person). And if you all like Italian food, then Il Mulino sounds like an even better choice than Yachtsman - I've heard mostly good things about it.

My husband and i did Il Mulino one night on our honeymoon. FABULOUS!!!!! Great menu. Wine list is GIGANTIC and they give you this complimentary lemon spritzer like drink at the end of the meal. DELISH!

Yes....the complimentary Italian lemon liqueur (limoncello) was delicious....much better than any after dinner mint you might get at other restaurants!

Taking people who don't eat, or are allergic to seafood to FF would be, frankly, insulting. It would be more or less saying: "We are going to enjoy perusing the menu and trying all sorts of neat things. Oh. Yeah. And you can order the thing on the bottom of the menu." I'm not dissing the steak at FF. But one simply wouldn't be giving their guest the full experience that the restaurant has to offer. I remember a business dinner that I went to where our host thoughtlessly booked a dinner at Morton's knowing that one of his guests was a vegan. Sure. The vegan could cobble together a meal from what was on the menu. But it was just a bad idea all the way around. Take that one off your list.

Of the other two, I much prefer Il Mulino.

I'm with JimmyV. While I think Flying Fish is good (not as good as bluezoo) I wouldn't take people who I knew didn't like fish/seafood because there just aren't enough options for anything else.

Il Mulino is a lot better for an adult dinner than Yachtsman.

FFC's menu is probably too limited for non-fish-eaters. My picks within in the immediate are would be bluezoo, Il Mulino and Shula's...probably in that order.

Thanks everyone !!!!!
I was hoping that I heard some good things on Il Mulino. Just knowing that all of us love Italian food I was leaning towards this restaurant but just needed to hear from people that have had dinner there. Also, love the idea of getting lemoncello !!!!!
Thanks again, you have all been so helpful !!!!!
