list your top 5 favorite/least favorite restaurants

[Simba's Mom]

What I always find interesting about these types of threads is the number of resturaunts which are one person's favorite while being another person's least favorite.

 

[mickey&minniealways]

Top 5
Boma (dinner)
Cape May (dinner)
Cinderellas at GF (dinner, Lady Tremaine and step sisters are hysterical worth the trip)
Ohana's
Olivias at OKW, maybe not the best but very good and so relaxing, one of the best kept secrets around. Never a long wait to be seated. Have never needed an ADR.

Best Dessert ( ? on spelling)
Flourless Chocolate Cake DTD, don't remember where exactly but soooooo good

Worst
Donald's Breakfastsouras in AK. Worst meal I have every had in Disney, horrible service. Will never do again.
Rainforest Cafe
Most counterservice, MK worst, then DHS, Epcot and AK better.

We usually stay in villa so we do breafast in rooms and make our lunches.

[dgagnon519]

We already posted are top 5's

I have never had an all around bad experience. Either the food was good and the the service was bad or vice versa
Ones that stick out in my head -

Coral Reef - The food was good, but our server was awful

Raglan road - We did not like the food, but the service was great

Yay! Thanks so much for doing this for the rest of us! I was thinking it be great to have them tallied!

I am surprised that Narcoosee's only has 6 votes...some of the reviews I've read were amazing...I really want to see the fireworks there while having dinner!

[wildernesslodgelover]

yeah, Clare...thanks for doing that! Although...if you have the time...it would be funny to see the tallies for the bottom 5...I bet some of the same restaurants are on that list, too! Like Simba's mom said...it's very funny. So many people have Kouzzina on their top 5 list. It makes me want to try it again...but I am pretty sure DH will refuse, it was THAT bad.

I'm curious about why those who list Biergarten in their bottom 5 do so. I don't take it personally, since I voted 3 times for WCC in my bottom 5 (and understand that lots of people love it), but since Biergarten our family's absolute one "must-do", I wonder if it's that people don't like German food, don't like the entertainment, don't like the shared tables, or something else.

Just curious...It would be interesting to see a thread about why people who don't like places in general don't like them.

I was puzzled by that too. I put Biergarten in my list of top 5, but then DH loves German food (he lived in Germany for 9 months) and I especially love their vanilla custand dessert with berries.
