DW and I are heading to WDW for a kid free trip next week. I you had to choose from either Yachtsman Steak House or Whispering Cafe which would you choose? I know they are two different experiences all together but I'm looking for suggestions as we have never been to either.
 
I wouldn't eat at WCC if you paid me, and it would be my very last choice in all the world for a date night. I'd much rather get quick service food at our resort and bring it back to our room with some beer or wine. WCC is loud and the food, in our experience, was pretty blah. We've never been to YSH, but it is a signature restaurant, so VERY different from WCC. We're looking forward to trying it next time.

Are you sure you don't mean Artist Point vs. YSH?
 
Without kids I'd definately pick Yachtsman. Excellent food and service. A lot nicer restaurant overall than Whispering Canyon. I've been to both restaurants and while I've enjoyed them both for different reasons, Yachtsman is by far the better restaurant for just adults. ::MinnieMo
 

The Yachtman was our favorite meal last trip! :thumbsup2 It was a bit loud so not a super romantic atmosphere but the food was amazing.

WCC is on our never again list ... probably the only WDW restaurant that we just won't go back to. We had just an awful dinner there.

So my vote is for the Yachtman!
 
Another vote for Yachtman! WCC is absolutely terrible IMHO. As PPs have said it is on our never again list.
 
WCC on our never again list, too. I've always said it should be called Echoing Canyon Cafe because there is certainly no whispering going on.

Absolutely no comparison between WCC and Yachtsman for a romantic evening.

HAHAHAHAHA :lmao: Thats hilarious!:rotfl2:

For a date night, without kids, there's no way on gods green earth would i go to whispering canyon. I'd definitely pick one of the signature restaurants. Yachtsman, Cali Grill, Citrico's etc. :thumbsup2
 
WCC is a lot of fun and we really enjoy everything about that place, however if it is going to be just the two of you, and no kids, then hands down I would say Yachtsman's. Yachtsman's is one of our favorite signature meals with great food, great service, and the atmosphere is wonderful. After your dinner you can head over to the BW to walk around and watch some of the street performers. Have a great time.
 
We're big fan of WL, stay there quite alot but not fans of WCC...food is medicore, expensive and not alot of choices.....very loud and not a pleasant atmosphere for a romantic quiet evening...

Yachtsman is fantastic.....good ambiance, steaks to die for, add ons that make my mouth water...cognac mushrooms, lobster tails, roasted garlic....nothing wrong with this restaurant...used to be more up scale which we liked but even so...we feel the best steakhouse on property....

This is exactly what I think. Both of you took the words out of my mouth.

Only thing I can think to add is that there is nothing romantic about people yelling for ketchup and a bunch of kids riding hobby horses like mad around in circles.

I agree completely!

:rotfl2: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lmao: OMG thats hysterical!
 
yachtsman. i like Whispering Canyon, but I have kids along and I don't like it for the food (edible but nothing great). I like it for the fun for the kids.
 
WOW! When was the last time where there was universal agreement on ANYTHING??!! :lmao::rotfl2::rotfl::cool1:

Of course I have to agree with all of the PPs. But it really is like comparing a Mercedes to a golf cart. They both serve a certain demographic, but I'd rather ride in the Merc.
 
We had terrible service at Yachtsman and I wouldn't go back there if it was free, but I also wouldn't go to WCC for a night out without the kids! I would either go to Jiko (back to Jiko, in our case) or give another signature a try.
 
Yachtsman. Not only for a better meal, but because it places you in an area where you can spend some time enjoying yourselves after dinner.
