Got back last night after a great 7 night 8 day trip. Just me and my DS who is 8 so I skipped a lot of the more "fancy" restaurants. He prefers hamburgers and french fries most of the time. Here is a brief review of some of the places where we ate:
O'hanas - big disappointment. The appetizers weren't bad but the meat was chewy and overcooked. We had a table by the window which was nice but the only thing I found good was the shrimp. For the price not worth it in my opinion
1900 Park Fare Dinner Buffet - Excellent dinner and good character interaction. I like my beef mooing and the prime rib was exceptionally bloody. The pasta station was excellent - everything fresh and hot - and the other dishes including turkey and dressing were good. The desserts were ok but by that time I was stuffed. We would do this one again.
Whispering Canyon - We ate lunch here one day and breakfast another. Frankly, while the food was good this is the first time in a Disney restaurant I felt the portions were skimpy. I ordered the quesadilla for lunch ($7.95) and the portion was very small. It was good though but at other restaurants where I've ordered this I am usually served more than enough. I saw someone at another table get the Nachos and that portion looked skimpy too. Our waitress Judy was also a disappointment to my DS. While nice enough she was obviously tired and gave none of the "special" treament at any of her tables. Breakfast was better. I had the neverending skillet and the eggs were good. DS had the waffles and they were dry -- apparently overcooked.
Chef Mickey for breakfast - We always have a good time here. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. It is a very fun atmosphere. The only thing I noticed was the character interaction was very very rushed. Time for 1 picture and they were gone. I know the restaurant was busy but it would have been nice to have another 30 seconds. Would definitely eat here again.
Trails End Buffet - Was really looking forward to eating here but extremely surly service by the hostess turned us off and we left. We were a party of 2 and were told it would be 20 minutes and perhaps we should go next door and have appetizers instead. While we were waiting parties of 6+ were coming in and being seated before us and I saw the hostesses putting tables together to make room. That got me made so we left.
