Hi All, looking to take my wife and DD to Jikos for our anniversary which we will be during our stay at WDW. Was wondering if any of you have eaten there and your thoughts as to whether this would be a good option. Your replys would be greatly appreciated.:) ::
 
I think it would be excellent if you're looking for something a little more unusual :)

A lot of people put it on par with the food at California Grill.

Iate there 2 weeks ago. It was very rich, but *SO* worth it. I especially recommend the Monk Fish. The other highly recommended entree is the fillet with mac and cheese underneath it. Sounds strange, but it was quite tender and tasty (had a taste from DH's plate).

The bread that they serve was really good, and they had sort of a curried butter to spread on it. Very nice.

We had 2 appetizers - Goat Cheese plate (very interesting) and kalamata olive flat bread pizza - also quite good. Reminded me a little of saganaki flambe (flaming greek cheese).

The monkfish was in a rich buttery-tomato sauce. The fish was very tender and not fishy. It was served on top of some roasted vegetables. The entire thing was surrounded by sweet potato chips and drenched in this extremely rich butter sauce.

The other reason to go is that it's not as filled with children or as rushed as some restaurants. It seems more sophisticated and appropriate for an anniversary.

The menu is available online if you haven't seen it! :)
 
We at their on 12/11 and it was fantastic. Wonderful (more adult) atmosphere. My DH also had the filet (delicious) and I had the salmon.

Funny how different tastes are because I didn't find the food rich at all.

Also try the South African wine it's wonderful.
 
Thanks so much for the wonderful reply's. The words you both used make my wife and I want to fly there for dinner now rather than wait til February! Thanks again and Jikos will definately be the place for our Anniversary dinner::yes:: :bounce: :Pinkbounc :)
 

Sounds like you've already decided, but I'll just echo what's been said-it's a fine "adult oriented" restaurant and perfect for an anniversary celebration.
If you go, ask for Ron, Marty, or Michelle. Excellent servers all.
And I recommend the Berbre Braised Lamb Shank.
