:confused3 What do you think about this place? Is it worth checking out?

:banana: I'm going to DISNEY in 6 DAYS!!!!! :banana:

Hubby just told me!!!!!!!! LOTS of things to do!!! :yay:
 
We went there early Feb. It was probably my least favorite. We were on the dining plan and compared to the other Signature restaurants, I found it kind of boring. The food wasn't bad, just not inspiring. Oddly I would say that it was the most formally attired group of patrons. It seemed like it was a lot of locals out for the night.
 
The Flying Fish is one of our favorite restaurants in Orlando. My husband and I live in Miami Beach, Florida which is about a 3 hour drive from Orlando. We drive to Orlando just to have dinner at The Flying Fish - it's that good. First, the service is impeccable always. I always have their signature dish which ia a potato wrapped snapper in a red wine sauce which is too die for. Their crabcake is also very good and their sorbet is super yummy. I would def. try it. I think you will love it. Enjoy.
 
Worth checking out? Yes, definitely. Ambiance is more upscale than most Disney dining (somewhat as is Yachtsman at YBC) and clientele does appear to be more than just park goers. Service was excellent and food was imaginative, fresh and flavourful, expertly prepared and delivered. Cost is pretty much what you'd pay at any fine restaurant. If you're looking for value based on DDP alternatives, you're better off paying OOP and saving TS certs for elsewhere. Would we make a point of going there every trip? No, too many other fine options. But yes, definitely, we would go back. Excellent dining experience.
 

I've only been to the Flying Fish twice, but loved it both times. I've had mussels, tomato/mozzarella salad, scallops (both times), cheese plate, and the chocolate trio. Everything was wonderful.
 
In our opinion Flying fish is one of the best restaurants on the property. The potato wrapped snapper is excellent, but the scallops are even better!
 
Click on my Oct 08, June 09 and Oct 09 links...we ate there three times and loved loved loved it!
 
I have been to FF many times and have always enjoyed my meals. For awhile, it was my favorite place at WDW; more recently, it has been bumped from the top spot (by Jiko and Citricos), but it remains in the top five.

The food there is delicious and far from boring. In fact, on my last couple trips there, I thought the food was a bit too flamboyant (although still very good).
 
Love this place - highly recommend the red snapper - it is one of their specialties and so good!

The night we were there they had a california roll special appy - OMG! I have never had anything that was this good.

Haven't tried it, but the NY Strip is also highly regarded. Friends advise to half the sauce on the side - we will be trying this next trip (in 57 days :banana:)
 
it's definatey worth checking out imho. it's in our top 3 favorite wdw restaraunts.
 
I also give it a :thumbsup2 As other have said It's one of my top 5 favorite restaurants.
 
Flying Fish is great. The food, the atmosphere, the service and it is nice being on the Boardwalk at night!

The food is always amazing. The seafood is great but even the non-seafood dishes are fantastic! Some of the menu changes with the seasons around what is fresh. We have eaten there more than half a dozen times and have never been disappointed!
 
Flying fish has displaced Jiko as our favorite restaurant. Ask for Bob. He is the best waiter at WDW.
 
Oh yeah, book it! We were just there in January and my DH, DS11 and I all ordered the potato wrapped snapper! It was fantastic! My DS ate every single bite as did my DH and I! Also, we ordered the calamari for an appetizer and it was delicious!

So worth it to make your way over to FFC!
