The Yachtsman, Chef's de France and Jiko.

I'm working on our ADRs from December, 2008 and we have only successfully eliminated Chef Mickey's from our "must do's".

Do you love/like/dislike/abhor any of the above? Best/worst dish you had, etc.

Thanks
 
Loved the Yachtsman, the best roasted garlic to spread on the warmest, softest rolls! Great filet and caesar salad.

Eaten at Chefs a few times, delish french onion soup and they had a roasted chicken dish that was fantastic
 
JIKO. It's quiet, a little dark, excellent food, not a child's place to eat really. They have hundreds of African wines and that is the draw there--to have some great wine along with great food. The appetizers are all killer--I've never been disappointed in them--I would suggest the flatbreads. I've had several different entrees but my favorite is the filet over mac n cheese. The worst I've had here was the monkfish--just too boring for me.

Yachtsman Steakhouse. It's more adult oriented also but there are more kids in here than at JIKO. Good steaks. I've had better steaks but overall, it's pretty good. I usually have a NY, I like them very rare and they do a good job of making it very rare for me. For an appetizer, I usually have salad.

Chefs de France. Not one of my favorites--it used to be a lot better than it is now so we skip this one and go instead to Bistro de Paris upstairs from Chefs, which is a definite adult experience, higher priced, etc. Chefs is crowded and noisy, the food is now bland to me (compared to how it used to be). I do like the creme brulee for dessert and I do enjoy the goat cheese torte they have as an appetizer. None of the entrees were worth remembering. I know I've done the roasted chicken and the pork before and did not enjoy them at all.
 
Of the three, we have only eaten at Yachtsman's. The one thing I would recomend would be the mushrooms to go with your steak!! I saw Samantha Brown on the Travel Channel talk about the mushrooms, so we decided we would take her advice and gt them. They were sooo good! One order is enough to share between 2-4 people depending on how big of eaters you are and how much you love them!!
 

We've done all three and they are all good. I'd put Jiko and Yachtsman ahead of Chefs de France.

Some people find the menu at Jiko to be a bit off-putting, so you may want to take a look first at http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining.htm to see if it sounds like something you are interested in.

Yachtsman is a classic steakhouse and is very good if that's what you are after. We love the pull-a-part onion rolls with the spreadable garlic there. For an appetizer, the lobster bisque is wonderful. Their filet is great - cooked exactly as you request and so tender.
