Please critique ADR choices

[gregsbrat]

Have 1 week until I have to call for my ADR's. I need to choose 9 from the following: It looks like the finalists are going to be: Turf Club; Splitsville; 50's Primetime; Via Napoli; Tutto Italia; Spice Road; Frontera Cocina; Cape May; Trails End; The Wave; Hacienda; and Sanaa. I appreciate any and all advice

 

[Serenebean]

Are these all dinner? Ive only done a few...Cape may for dinner was very good and I'd definitely go back there. The Wave is on my list to try, so I'd keep that! As far as your Epcot day/days go, it looks like you are choosing between Via Napoli, Tutto Italia or Spice Road. Im not very adventurous so Spice Road is out for me personally. We liked Via Napoli. If you will be there two days then I'd say to do Spice Road and one of the italian restaurants. Any thing else I dont have enough of an opinion on to throw out there.

We have done Tutto Italia, Cape May and Sanaa, all for dinner and we enjoy them all.

 

[FLkid]

50's is a must for every single one of our trips. Hands down.

Via Napoli is definitely worth a visit if you've been

 

[Parker Clan]

Love Via Napoli and Trails End, which is a must do for us every trip for breakfast and dinner

 

[LindsayMouse]

I've done Cape May for dinner and it was very good - ambience was like any Florida restaurant though.
I've heard wonderful things about Sanaa and that you have a better chance of viewing animals at lunch!

 

[WDWNY]

we have done 50's prime time- i think its more for the atmosphere the food isn't that great in my opinion
The Wave- our first experience in Feb was eh, but then last minute our family friends told us they didn't want to eat at 1900 Park fare so we cancelled day of and got reservations at the wave. It was much better then and we would go back! (I love their cheese plate so much)

I am assuming that this are all for dinner?

Turf Club - Some friends a stealth wedding at WDW, over at the Treehouse's around a year ago, we all got together and met her for dinner, I would say it was good, I had the onion soup and DH went for the Crispy Shrimp, for our main entrée DH went with the steak New York Strip and for me I went with the fish of the day.. and we split the cheesecake. Overall it was a solid meal, Would I go back...yes and no - if we were meeting friends or something like that yes, to book on our own no...

Splitsville - Are you going to go bowling? This would not be on our list not unless we were going to go bowling, basic pub grub, with a side of sarcasm, we stopped for a cocktail and appetizer and wanted to relax before decided on how to handled dinner and got an OHHH... Not staying for dinner... Our service was less than stellar. There are to many other options to try at DS. I will say if you are wanting to step away form the parks and relax the Fork and Screen food is pretty good, and the service very good.

50's Primetime - DH will not eat here, we really don't enjoy that type of dinning..

Via Napoli - Only eaten here once, met some friends during food and wine...really disappointed, I can't have a lot of red sauce or pizza, not a good combo for my tummy. But they had other offerings, I got a bowl of pasta with white sauce and chicken... and it was really bad, I did not even eat 1/4 of it... the sauce was like glue, and the pasta was almost crunchy and I ate what chicken I could find, DH did not like the pizza either, the couple we were with seemed to enjoy it though.

Tutto Italia - This is on our list - food and service are always pretty much spot on.

Spice Road- This made our list last year, really great service and food, beautiful spot on the water.

Frontera Cocina - haven't tried it yet.

Cape May - Buffet - I honestly preferred breakfast or lunch for buffets, at the end of the day I like being waited on... Good options and service

Trails End- I a lot of folks really like it but for my family they did not care for it at all.

The Wave - We haven't tried it yet.

Hacienda - We have tried twice and were okay with everything. We had dinner with DH's co-workers and both ended up with some real stomach issues, her DH had to go to the hospital and they kept him over night he was so dehydrated. We did get all different meals, we never got sick so I don't think it was a virus... more along food poisoning for them.

Sanaa - We are going to be trying it in a couple of months.

I'd lose Splitsville from your list.

I would choose: 50s Prime time, Via Napoli, Trails End, Sanaa, The Wave, Tutto Italian, Cape May, Spice Road, and Hacienda.

 

[Farro]

I think your list looks great!

Agree with others - unless you are going bowling, I would let go of Splitsville. If you will be in Disney Springs, maybe Homecoming instead? Or just do a fast casual - Blaze Pizza, the new burger place, etc.

We are also looking forward to trying The Wave this trip -have read great things.

Turf Club; Splitsville; 50's Primetime; Via Napoli; Tutto Italia; Spice Road; Frontera Cocina; Cape May; Trails End; The Wave; Hacienda; and Sanaa

Have never been to Turf Club but friends love it. So we are trying it in March. 50s PTC is a must do even trip for us, good food and lots of fun in a cool atmosphere. Via Napoli is the best pizza on property IMO. Piccante Pizza, you can't go wrong! Tutto Italia, um, there is better Italian food on property. Trattoria al Forno would be a better choice. Cape May(only had dinner a couple times)is good, if you are big on seafood. They do have some good landlubber choices too. Trails End, breakfast, very good. The Wave, breakfast and lunch are tops, dinner, eh. All others N/O as we have never been too, though bread service at Sanaa is very good.

You will get a lot of people weighing in on all restaurants. Some like them; some don't. Not many places at WDW are as consistent as they used to be. Via Napoli gets consistently good reviews. So does The Wave. We make Via Napoli a must do every trip since it is a nice break from heavier food, relatively inexpensive, fun atmosphere. 50s is a fun atmosphere but none of the TS at DHS are great. A lot also depends on when you are going and how crowded the parks/restaurants will be. People's experiences will vary based on that. I do agree that with all the new places at Disney Springs, I would pick some place other than Splitsville.

Not sure where you are staying or if you have a car. If you are using Disney transportation I would make that my first priority. Some of the places on your list are not easy to get to and will take time. I would stick to the places that are most convenient to the park you will be in that day.
