Looking for Reviews of Boatwrights, Olivia's, & Maya Grill

[disneyfav4ever]

Hi. I'm considering eating dinner at Boatwright's at Port Orleans, Olivia's Cafe at Old Key West, and/or Maya Grill at Coronado Springs, during my trip later this year.

I am having trouble finding reviews for any of these places, none of them seem to be very popular. Then again I've dined at lots of Disney restaurants, but never these three, so I guess they aren't very popular.

Anyway, I'm looking for reviews for those places, so if anyone has any, could you please post, or post a link to your review. TIA. Pictures would also be appreciated.

We love Boatwright's and have eaten there several times. Food is always piping hot, service very good and the portions are extremely large. The selection is rather small, but you will always find something that appeals to you. Worth a try I would say (especially for breakfast which is truly outstanding).

We ate at Boatwright's in September on our last night of our trip. By far the worse meal we have ever had at Disney. Besides the fact that it was way too loud that you couldn't even hear yourself think, let alone talk, the food was horrible. We have not tried Olivia's Cafe. We stay at the CSR, but have only had breakfast at the Maya Grill--never dinner.

We have eaten at Maya Grill several times now. I have always found it to be distinctly average. The service is great but the food has changed from it's latin roots to a more steak-n-chops feel. It's still good but no one dish really sticks out in my mind.

We ate at Boatwright's in April and it was WONDERFUL!!! I tend to agree more with the first poster re: this restaurant. Our food was very hot and huge portions. My family loved it

loved Olivias on our last trip. It wasn't nearly as busy as other restaurants and the caesar salad was fantastic. We also Loved Loved Loved the pina colada bread. It sounded terrible, but after the first taste, everyone at the table was fighting over it!

I didn't find any of the 3 particularly wonderful or bad, just average. None of them warrant a special trip over. They are fine to meet the needs of their resort guests who want a nearby TS, but I woudl not travel to any of the 3 from another resort or park.

Boatwright's menu looks good to me. I like that Southern type of cooking, not the Cajun influences so much, but the "comfort" foods like sweet potatoes and grits, so some of the entree items, like the chicken and the filet sound good to me!

I also really like Mexican food, though Maya Grill's menu seems Americanized. The appetizers sound good there though. The entrees sound all right, things I would eat, but nothing that stands out as special, except for maybe the duck.

And then Olivia's Cafe has always been on my "maybe" list, but I've never actually gotten around to eating there. But I love that Caribbean-Polynesian kind of menu they have, which seems similar to Kona's menu, and I love Kona. I also saw a picture of the pork chop from there once, and would love to have that.

I've also never been to see any of the three resorts where those restaurants are located, so I would love to get a chance to tour any of them. I'll be solo, and on the deluxe DDP, so I don't need to worry about anybody's wants but my own, and cost is not an issue.

These three would be replacing Ohana, Wolfgang Puck Cafe, and an extra meal at Brown Derby, all of which I've been to before, and Brown Derby I'm going to eat at at least once anyway. Are any of these better then the three I'm considering trying?

That sounds similar to the pineapple bread at Kona. Is it? If so, I'm sure I would love it.
