We just spent 4 wonderful days at WDW. For anyone interested, our favorite restaurants/foods this trip:

Liberty Tree Tavern (Magic Kingdom) - We hadn't been there in years, but decided to try it for lunch based on some DIS Board comments. We're so glad we did! Great atmosphere (especially in the carpeted dining area); fabulous food, and wonderful service. We had the Pilgrims' Feast and the Colony Salad.

Yak & Yeti (Animal Kingdom) - Always a favorite, but this year's lunch was better than ever. Pot stickers; Lettuce Wraps; Bourbon Chicken; Beef & Broccoli; and the Wok-fried Green Beans (new?) - SOOO good!

La Hacienda de San Angel (Mexico) - Puerco en Salsa de Mole Negro and Pollo Al Pastor were favorites; Del Mar was good but shrimp was super spicy. You can't beat this location for watching Illuminations.

Dole Whip - Love this treat as a cone, a float, or just as a dish of ice cream. It was so refreshing on a very hot day.

Our least favorites:

Picabu Buffeteria (in the Dolphin Hotel) - greasy nachos; mediocore burgers; chicken tenders. We needed an inexpensive place for an unexpected gathering (with 2 exhausted kids and their dad). Not a good choice.

Le Cellier (Canada) - Salmon was delicious; Braised Short Rib was great. However, the very pricey New York Strip Steaks were overcooked and served with a teeny, tiny portion of 'vin rouge reduction' (more like a garnish than an accompaniment). servings of potato pave were very small. Disappointing -this is usually one of our favorite restaurants.

I want that beef and broccoli when we're down there in the fall! I haven't seen many reviews for that dish so I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! ;)
 

Thanks for the reviews! I think I need to try ltt soon! It's a shame about the strip at lc. I had two awesome ones there in november!
