New Restaurant challenge.

[eliza61]

Planning a family reunion for next August. So far 20 people are going and about 12 of us are "old timers" at Disney. Not our age but the fact we've been alot, so we tend to make reservations at the same places.

So where would you eat if you had to plan 3 dinners at places you've never eaten before? It can be at the parks or at the resorts. These are ineligible.

California Grill
Le Cellier
Crystal Palace
Tony's Town
Sci fi diner
Boma

Any hidden gems out there.

 

[Gary M]

Biergarten, Whispering Canyon Cafe and Cape May.

I added in three new places for our November trip, Via Napoli, Narcoossee's and the new Mexican place.

Three that I haven't tried but want to:
Jiko
Artist Point
50's Prime Time

 

[jeffwwalters]

We ate at Via Napoli last week right before they started taking ADRs, we had pizza and have to say it was some of the best we've ever ate.

 

[Princess Vespa]

We are trying 3 new ones in our upcoming December trip:
Wolfgang Puck Cafe
Boma
Tutto Italia

I am very excited! We always try to find at least 1 new place.

Jiko
Via Nappoli
50's Prime
I might add that I'm not doing any of these on my trip in Dec. because I know my kids want character meals.

Several years ago I arranged a dinner for a group of 20+ people. We went to Whispering Canyon. We got seated as a group in the back section of the restaurant where it was a little more private, yet our group could all be seated at tables close to one another. If I remember correctly, I got the phone number for the restaurant and called them directly to make arrangements. I highly recommend Whispering Canyon. They did a wonderful job with our large group.

Other places I would recommend for a large group are: Olivia's, 50's Prime Time and Tusker House.

 

[Mississippianna]

• Tusker House
• 'Ohana
• Chef Mickey's: you've got to do this one at least once!
• Either of the new places on World Showcase: Via Napoli, or La Hacienda de San Angel
• I've recently added Shula's Steakhouse and Il Mulino, 2 restaurants over at the Swan & Dolphin on my to do list, if you were thinking something upscale.

[Colleen27]

Places we've never been to that are high on my "next time" list:

Via Napoli
Flying Fish
Kouzzina

Hidden gems that we have tried already that aren't on your list:

Jiko
Raglan Road
Kona (okay, not very hidden)

 

[BriarRosie]

For me, three I haven't tried yet are:

Kouzzina
The Wave
Via Napoli

I'd add Il Mulino to the list, but that's at the Swan, and I don't know if the DDP factors into your decision, so I'll put that to the side as a suggestion.
