I just have to throw in my 2 cents on Fultons:
We have eaten there every trip we've taken (4x's) to WDW.
First off, we love the paddle wheel theming, the decorations, the old b/w fishing photos, the lakefront view, the shipping papers posted to show how fresh the fish is, and the wait staff dressed in their fancy white outfits.
We found the service to be top notch.
Let me say, we're from Chicago where there are excellent service restaurants and some of the nation's best seafood haunts (Bob Chinn's is a fav). We know great service and great food.
At Fulton's we always have the lobster bisque. The waiter brings the empty bowls first, then places the lobster in each of them so you can see how much you get. This is followed by a brass decanter of the bisque poured hot over the lobster meat. Excellent presentation.
Our meals came covered and were placed on the table and all three covers were then removed at the same time with a flourish.
Our drinks never went dry, our water glasses were always promptly refilled.
I had split King Crab legs and they were the best I've ever had. Why? Because they were only the first joint (the most meat), they were cut in half with the meat exposed. There were 2 lbs. of them and it was mostly all meat because there was half the usual shell weight and no joints and no claws to make up the 2 lbs. I couldn't finish them, there was so much! My DW and DD had to help me eat them!
Compared to Bob Chinn's here in the Chicago area, Fulton's was CHEAP!
Compared to other top notch Florida restaurants I've eaten at (LeverRocks, Cap'n Hiram's, and others on the Gulf Coast, Daytona, and Miami), I would rather go to Fulton's!
I don't see where people say they had bad service or lousy food or it was too expensive. Yes, it's one of the more expensive places to eat in WDW, but it's that type of restaurant.
Some people are happy with burgers/fries or pasta and they want to pay $15 for a meal and consider that expensive.
Next time we're at WDW, we'll be going to Fultons again. We look forward to it!
So to us, Fultons isn't too bad of a price.
