Flying Fish or Ale & Compass?

[Michelle Sawler]

Hi all!
Haven't been on here for many years. Our last trip as a family was in 2011. DH & I are going just the two of us (yay!) to celebrate both of us turning 50 this year - Saturday, Nov. 24 to Dec. 1 - staying off-site but attending Thursdays MVMCP and have 5-day tickets as well.
Here's my question - on our last night the Friday we wanted to have a nice dinner somewhere not in the parks - after searching availability and based on our likes I've narrowed it down to Flying Fish or Ale & Compass. Wondering if any or you folks have any strong opinions on which is better?
Both menus look very appealing and both seem to have good reviews. I just want to make the right choice!
Thanks all for your help (always appreciated it in the past!)

Flying Fish is much more upscale,more expensive and gets mainly great reviews.

Flying Fish is much more upscale compared to Ale and Compass. If you are looking for a special meal, I would consider Flying Fish.
If you are adventurous for food, I would also consider Jiko at AKL.

Flying Fish is AMAZING! Definitely a special meal. It is a signature restaurant, however, with a price tag to match. If you would rather not spend a ton of money, Ale & Compass is also very good. The decor at both is gorgeous and the food and service are very good.
