Opinions on ADR's needed

[PIRATEGIRL007]

We are Disney vets, and honestly one of our favorite parts is the food. We will be back in Sept this year and I am trying to throw in a few new ADR's and still hit some of our favorite oldies. So here are my ADR's. We have already been to most of these places, new ones are *. Would love to see some opinions on the food at the new ones or any recent experiences at any of them:

O'hana dinner
Tuitto Italia* or Via Napoli* dinner (have both on 2 different days, cancelling one)
Boma dinner
50's Prime Time lunch
California Grill*
Crystal Palace dinner
Tusker House dinner
Park Fair dinner
Yactsman*
Rose and Crown dinner*


Also we are trying to get Brown Derby and will be dropping either Yachtsman or Cali Grill for it. Thoughts on which we should keep?

Thanks

We ate during the opening days of Via Napoli last year. It was OK, nothing to get excited about imho. California Grille and Yachtsman were a few years ago, and both were good, but CG was awesome. If you have to choose between the two, I'd do CG.

I really like your dining picks for your upcoming visit. So nice to see another veteran visitor who likes to try new things. This year we are really going outside our comfort zone and ONLY eating at places we've never tried before!

I haven't eaten at the 2 new Italian places or at Yachtsman, so can't comment about them.

Have eaten at CG twice and we really enjoyed ourselves both times. I will say that though the food was marvelous, and the service excellent, it is probably the noisiest of the signatures that we've been to. I think that it may be because of the large number of children present. This is NOT a criticism of people who bring kids to a signature restaurant, so no flames please. It is just an observation. I think part of the reason for this is the opportunity for the great views and the chance to see Wishes from the Observation platform. It is what it is, and if we want a quiet dinner, we go elsewhere.

Rose and Crown serves very good food and of course the location for Illuminations is fabulous. DH swears by the fruit and cheese plate and the ale flight (don't know if they still have this) to start, while I loved the Potato and Leek soup. We really enjoyed the Shepherd's Pie and the Roast with Yorkshire pudding. And if you're into desserts (and I AM) then you've just gotta try the Sticky Toffee Pudding.

We're trying out Brown Derby for the first time in Sept (doing the F. Package) I hope it's as good as it looks. Some of the menu items had me drooling all over my keyboard.
