We went from 6/12 through 6/19 and while I didn't take any pictures, thought I would share thoughts on where we ate.

-Crystal Palace, breakfast. We all enjoyed this, especially getting into the park early. Food was nothing over the top, but good. DS13 enjoyed the choc chip pancakes they made for him.

-Spoodles. We all really liked this, too bad it's closing. Bread was great, I had lamb shanks with polenta that were delicious, DD19 loved her shrimp pasta. Waiter offered DS13 the chance to sub fries for any side, so he had the steak kabobs, they put the sauce on the side for him without asking, and he subbed fries as the side. He loved this. Desserts were good, but not our favorites of the trip.

-Boma. Thought this would be my favorite, as I love all types of ethnic food, but it ended up being my least favorite. It was extremely crowded, so food lines were really long the whole time we were there. My husband and son thought food was "okay" but daughter and I were not impressed. Wouldn't go back.

-Teppan Edo. Big hit with everyone. Cook was entertaining, waitresses very sweet and helpful, food was delicious. Were surprised that we even liked the desserts as they didn't look all that tempting. DD and DH liked the chocolate ginger cake and I really liked the green tea pudding, although it's not the most attractive thing I've ever eaten.

-Raglan Rd. One of my DH's favorites of the trip. He loved the stew, which is one of his favorite foods. We both loved the bread pudding, I still dream about it.

-Tutto Italia. My DH's very favorite of the trip , and in everyone else's top 2.
Two had pasta entrees, one steak and one fish. All were delicious. Desserts were fantastic!

-Kona Cafe. My favorite as well as son's favorite. Loved the bread with macadamia butter (embarrassed to say we went through 2 loaves!). DS13 thought the teriyaki steak was the best thing he's ever eaten. Loved desserts, I had the kahlua torte (2nd favorite next to Raglan bread pudding), and everyone else had the Kona cones, which they really had fun with.

This was our first time using the dining plan, and we were really glad we did it. I compared how much it cost to what the food we ate cost, and we saved over $300. Granted we normally wouldn't order all those desserts, but it was a treat, and the real treat was not looking at prices. My son ate steak at every dinner and loved it!
 
Thanks for the review! We have ADRs for Kona and Teppan Edo also, so I was glad to read that you enjoyed them. We also have one for Boma - seems like people either really like the different flavor or hate 'em!
 
thanks for the review. Tutto Italia is a new restaurant that my family needs to try. May I asked the names of your dishes you ate that day. Thank you
 
DD had the penne caprese, the others aren't listed on the All Ears menu. DH had a pasta dish that was cavatelli (I think) with sausage and a red sauce, mine was sole that had been pan fried with capers and lemons, and DS had a strip steak that was served with roasted potatoes. For dessert, DD had the Copetta Sotto Bosco, DS had chocolate gelato, DH had the cannoli and I had the profiteroles.
 

Thanks for the reviews. I am in the middle of posting my quickie reviews as well. Glad you enjoyed Teppan Edo. We loved it!
 
Thanks for your reviews. Glad you had a positive experience at Teppan Edo -we're trying it for the 1st time this Sept & looking forward to it.
 
Thanks for the reviews. Curious--did you do Boma for breakfast or dinner?
 
thanks so much for the reviews...short & to the point (though I am a sucker for food pics, too!)

So glad to hear there is a steak choice & a fish option at Tutto...one person in our party is just not all that keen on traditional pasta dishes (I know, Italian restaurant...but Tutto wasn't her choice - it's mine!)
