One week, no kids, DDP - help me choose!

[nc6200]

Wife & I need some advice - no kids for a week , and we are on the ddp - need best suggestions from all you experts. CS & TS suggestions, but the main ones I'm looking for are TS.

We're going to be staying at the Boardwalk, so will be close to Epcot. Park dining or resort dining is fine - we just want the most bang for our buck, meals without whining and shouting kids, and good food.

Let me have it....

Our favorite TS is Kona Cafe. We usually go twice each trip.

Other good TS we've had have been Narcoossee's (though not as good last trip),and California Grill-both are 2 TS.

Added-we also enjoyed Tutto last trip. Very nice and quite elegant inside. Here's what I had

Salmone al forno - baked salmon filet over fagiolini beans with a fresh tomato relish $29 Very good
and we saw this served for dessert-a couple was sharing it and it was plenty. I wish we had gotten it as well but we had already ordered.

Bugie/Chiacchere - Signature anise and Sambuca-flavored crisp pastry with chocolate or apricot sauces $10.00

CS-
We like Sunshine Season since we can get a Seared Tuna Salad there that is really good. Not really kid-free though.

Well, it's Disney so there will be kids no matter which restaurant.

We like to try the Epcot restaurants when we travel without kids. Most of the time, kids get bored with the countries, so this is our opportunity.

Here are some great 1 credit TS...
Most of the Epcot countries are good choices...
Le Cellier (good reviews)
Les Chefs de France (also generally good reviews and it's France)
Tutto (Italy) good reviews
Mexico (mixed reviews on food/service, but very romantic atmosphere).
Marakesh (Morocco...some people love it, others are so-so on it).
Rose & Crown (UK...generally good reviews)
Coral Reef (mixed reviews on food, but nice atmosphere).

Magic Kingdom doesn't have any terrific couples restaurants, but the nearby have many great choices.
GF has several choices, hopefully others will chime im.
Polynesian...Kona is very good (bit noisy, but a must stop for us), Ohana is also very good (tends to be a more family oriented stop)
Contemporary...Wave (getting good reviews), great 2TS couple's restaurant on the top (sorry name escapes me right now)
WL also has some good restaurants

DHS
Mama Melrose is a good adult choice
Sci-Fi is often a family stop, but we find it can be a good stop for the two of us.

AK
Haven't tried Yak & Yeti, not sure if that's a good couples restaurant or not.
Other good options when here are to go to AKL. AKL has great ambience for couple's particularly in the evening. Animals, viewing areas, walking paths.
Restaurants at AKL...Boma's (1TS, Jiko 2TS).
AKV is opening Sanaa starting in May. This also sounds like it could be a good couple's choice.

Lots of resort restaurants...
I'm sure plenty of people will chime in.

DTD
Raglan Road is newer and sounds like a fun couple's choice.
Hopefully others will chime in on additional restaurants here.
It's not TS, but we love Wolfgang Puck Express for the CS. In our humble opinion, WPE is the best CS on property.

I would suggest Teppan Edo, Le Cellier, Boma, Kona for either breakfast or dinner, or both, Narcoossee's, Raglan Road. Check out my dining review for other restaurants.

We went on a "no kids" trip in September. We really liked Kona, Grand Floridian Cafe, Jiko, and Spoodles. Wanted Tutto Italia, but weren't able to get in.

We went to Beaches & Cream for an afternoon snack and had the place nearly to ourselves.

Enjoy being grown-ups.

TS
Boma at AKL
I've heard Jiko is good too but that one is 2TS
Raglan Road is a good arrival day TS in DTD
I agree with Kona, the prime rib is delicious
Ohana is excellent too
I've heard Boatwright's is good at POR
Also heard Spoodle's is good on the Boardwalk
Beaches 'n Cream is delicious, but that's mostly burgers and stuff, but the ice cream is to die for as well.
I've heard good things about Narcoossee's but it's 2TS
As well as Hollywood Brown Derby in DHS which is also 2TS
And Le Cellier if you can get an ADR
Tusker House I've heard is good for Breakfast
Liberty Tree Tavern has a great Lunch

CS
in MK definately Columbia Harbour House
DHS Pizza Planet and Rosie's All American Cafe
Sunshine Seasons in Epcot
Boulangerie Patisserie in France has a killer ham and cheese croissant sandwhich

We went on a trip with 2 other families and brought along our own babysitter, so we had 4 nights of adult-only dinners. My favorites from that, and other no-kids trips:

The most obvious choice is Victoria and Albert's, if you can get it. They don't take the meal plan, so it actually works out well if you eat someplace that takes 2 TS - you have one saved up from another night! Easily the best meal!!! Okay, so it costs a lot, too. But SO worth it...

Citricos at the GF (2 TS)
California Grill (CR)
Bistro de Paris (France, Epcot)

Others I'm looking forward to trying when child-free:
Jiko's, Artist's Point, and Narcoosee's

And, someday, the chef's table at V&A's!
