Looks like a Steak restaurant is taking over Tortilla Jo location

The Mexican restaurants mentioned in that article look really good, especially the one with the DTD view!

Expanding Marceline's? Yay!! And I'm hopeful about the steak house. I'm not too keen on what I've read about most of the new additions in DTD but I've yet to try them (and I'm willing to!) so I may change my mind. Sometimes this old dog can learn a new trick or two.

Looking forward to Din Tai Fung! Steak house/BBQ will be nice as well. Was never really a fan of tortilla joes.

I was....until they took away free Chips

I really hate that trend...they are chips if you can't provide those and are charging 20 bucks for a plate...I just wont go to you that much

I agree. It's kind of like Blue Bayou with the bread...now you can buy a ridiculously small portion of brioche whereas they used to provide a basket (with different varieties) for the table free of charge.

Agreed but at least BB has a unique setting but yeah its a joke how many places don't give out "free" bread of chips any more yet still charge more then ever

The restaurants down in Old Town San Diego still do it...and if they can be run by mom and pops these cooperate places can as well

I think it's more likely for the corporate places to do away with things like that because they don't really have to answer directly to the customers. They're removed from the grumbling and complaints and don't really care if the restaurant workers have to hear it unless there is a significant drop in business. A family operation is a different thing altogether and is a lot more directly impacted by complaints.

edited to add that a small business is also dealing with a much smaller customer base that is generally local. A place like Disneyland has a huge customer base that is constantly changing so losing some customers isn't nearly as big a deal to them.

Naples used to give bread with oil and balsamic and they no longer do as well. Super disappointing.

I’m excited for a steakhouse (I wish it was steakhouse 55) and BBQ. I was just telling a friend I wish we had a BBQ place like polite pig at WDW.

We tried Din Tai Fung in Portland this winter and it was fabulous.

Well, I guess that's the final nail in the coffin for Steakhouse 55 ever returning...

Has anyone heard any more news about when Din Tai Fung will be opening in DTD? They said summer originally.

It’s looking pretty close, I’d say they will be able to stick to the summer opening eta.
