list your top 5 favorite/least favorite restaurants

[wildernesslodgelover]

I have not dined EVERYWHERE on property...but I am getting close!

Here are my top 5 (in no particular order):

Flying Fish
Blue Zoo
Citricos
Boma (breakfast and dinner)
Biergarten (ambiance/atmosphere plays a big role in this choice)

I did not include V&A's because it is in a different league!

Least favorite:

Fultons
Kouzzina
Garden Grove breakfast (Swan Hotel)
Teppan Edo
Garden Gallery at SOG (we had the seafood buffet, which was awful. Maybe other meals are ok)

Care to share your lists?

[skier_pete]

We haven't eaten at a ton of the restaurants, so this is based on about 30-40 of the 100 or so choices - we've only done a couple of the Signature dining. I am predominantly rating on the food.

Favorites:
California Grille
Tusker House (lunch/dinner)
Chefs De France
Le Cellier
Crystal Palace (any meal)

Least Favorite:
Cape May Cafe (Breakfast only)
Chef Mickeys (Mostly because of food)
Hollywood and Vine Play and Dine (lunch)

Those are the only ones I can think of that I didn't like all that much.

Interesting! I have never eaten at the first 4 on your *least favorite* list. We rarely go to MGM, so that takes care of 3 on that list and why we haven't tried them.

I have eaten at Marrakesh twice and liked it a lot.

I haven't eaten at Narcoosees...but really want to try it! I thought YS was ok, but not worth the price. I would have said CG if you would have asked me a few years ago...but our last time dining there, it was not good. Then again, I was disappointed in BZ a few years ago, but we gave it another try and really liked it this time. I find that WDW restaurants sometimes flucuate over the years....

I haven't eaten at Chefs yet, gotta try that one. Hmmm, might have to give CG another try, too.

I really, really like CM for breakfast. Never had dinner, but we do the breakfast almost every trip. I do agree, about Cape May. I find the breakfast "ok" but I did not care for the dinner at all.

For Dining w/kids:-Not in order

Cinderella's Royal Table-Dinner
Ackershause (sp?) in Norway-Breakfast
Le Ceil in Canada-DD LOVES the Breadsticks and Choc. Moose
Wispering Canyon-Wilderness Lodge
Crystal Palace-Breakfast

Least Favorite
Garden Grill-didn't care for food, characters were rushed
Tony's Grand Gathering Breakfast-Instant Eggs, bad service
Hollywood & Vine-Yuck according to DD (I have to agree)
Tutto-Food is very good, but if you are not on the dining plan--forget-about-it. Crazy expensive for Pasta.. It's pasta for God's sake!
Liberty Tree Tavern (back when it had Character Meals)-Food was extremely dry, but Characters were great.

I haven't eaten at 10 places yet(only one trip so far) but figured I would put in mine...

Favorites:
Teppon Edo
Wolf Gang Puck Express
Mama Melrose
Chef Mickey's (food wasn't amazing but wasn't bad when I went and atmosphere pushed it to this list)

Least favorites (or just not in top half)
Sci Fi - I really didn't like the movies...
Rose and Crown - I think this was partially because my husband didn't like his food though so it ruined it a bit for me.
Shutters - Really didn't like this one.


When I go in October I'll try these (as well as a few we have been to before):
Le Cellier
50's Prime Time
Ohana
Crystal Palace

[TillyMarigold]

Favorite:
1. Flying Fish
2. Jiko
3. Sanaa
4. Boma (dinner)
5. would be a tough call between Narcoossee's, Kouzzina, and Grand Floridian Cafe

Least favorite ... I've never had a truly bad meal at Disney (actually on my last trip, every single TS meal was amazing) but I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back to:
1. Kona
2. Coral Reef
3. Le Cellier
4. Mama Melrose
5. 'Ohana

I'm not in a hurry to go back to Garden Grill, Chef Mickey's, or Biergarten, either, but the last time I ate there was before they changed their format (got rid of breakfast at GG, made CM and Biergarten a buffet) so I don't feel that's a fair comparison.

Of the others that people mentioned above...
I'd like to try bluezoo, Cítricos, Fulton's, California Grill, Tusker House breakfast, Crystal Palace (went about 25 years ago when it was a buffet with no characters), Tony's, Rose and Crown
I have no interest in trying Teppan Edo, Garden Grove, Yachtsman, CRT, Chefs de France, H&V, Yak & Yeti, 1900 Park Fare
I tried and liked Marrakesh, Cape May breakfast, Akershus, Whispering Canyon, Sci Fi
