I ate at Boatwrights and had the Jambalaya. MMM it was good.

Crystal Palace is a buffet. I had the waffles, eggs. The only thing I did like was the French toast.

Chef Mickey - buffet again and had breakfast. mickey pancakes, breakfast pizza( i did not care for). sausage. biscuits.

The buffets usually have something for everyone.

The others I have not eaten at. Sorry.

The only one that I have tried at the meal you are eating is CR. I had the ceasar salad for appetizer and it was nothing special. Maincourse was steak and it was amazing.

I had the chocolate wave as a dessert. It was really good but not more than a bite or so it was very very rich.

DH had the Baileys and Jack Daniels mousse and loved it.

Whispering Canyon
We went there for lunch, so they have a slightly different menu than dinner. But, I had the nachos for an appetizer. It was huge and very good. Then, the stackhouse sandwich - excellent. And the chocolate cake was great. DH had the chili - great choice. I don't think you can go wrong with this one. Kid's meals were great.
Coral Reef-
Unfortunately, I'd have to agree with most of the poster about not being the best food. I have the cream of crab soup. It was a little tasty, but very lumpy and not much crab. I heard better reviews about the crab salad and the shrimp. I had the steak. It was fine, but not one of the best - the potatoes were very good. My neighbor had a miserable steak - she is more of a steak person than I am. My husband had the Mahi Mahi and said it was awful. The chocolate wave was great. The kid's meals were awful - my kids didn't touch a thing and they are picky, but not that picky. That said, we will be going to eat there again in October. We will have 5 children and I thought the place was very much an experience - beside the food. I would say try to change this one, unless you want to go for the experience of eating with a fantastic view of the aquarium.
Sci Fi-
Get a milkshake or smoothie - it is part of the dining plan! I had the chili - excellent, but the onion rings (I always try to spy other people's food as it goes by) looked great. I had the Rueben sandwich - very good. I'm sorry I don't remember what DH had. I think the ribs, but whatever it was, he enjoyed it. For dessert, hot fudge sundaes - great. I think this is another one that you can't go wrong in.
Le Cellier - I haven't eaten there, but I hear the best steak in WDW.
Enjoy!

Sorry I gave the impression that our food was not good at CR, it was wonderful. It was by far the best steak I have ever had and DH agreed. DH usually uses Hienz 57 sauce when we go out to eat steak. CR is the only time I have ever seen him not ask for it because the steak simply did not need anything else. It melted in your mouth. The only thing I really did not like was the salad and that is because it is not a typical sald it is large whole leaves.

for some reason I love the eggs and sausages at the breakfasts you mentioned...
Le Cellier .....we have been there quite a few times and love the cheddar cheese soup, the prime rib.....Our grandkids got the free range chicken and loved that too.....

Boatwright's - never been.
Crystal Palace - DH's absolute favorite breakfast place...the item he enjoys most is the Puffed French Toast - it really is delicious! I also really enjoy the breakfast lasagna, which is layers of pancakes, french toast, berries and custard - it's a must-have for me.
WCC - we enjoy the all-you-can-eat Canyon Skillet. I've read that they've replaced the sausage, which was so-so, with peel-n-eat shrimp...I like the ribs and pulled pork. Haven't eaten there since 2004, though.
Sci-Fi - we will eat there for the first time on our upcoming trip...
Le Cellier - this is also on our must-do list since we first ate there in 2004. DH enjoys the filet mignon, while I have enjoyed both the NY strip and the pork tenderloin. I'm always too full for dessert!
Coral Reef - never been.
Chef Mickey's - great breakfast with so many interesting choices! Try the PB&J pizza...can't remember any other specifics, but they have lots of selections and we really enjoy this breakfast.

Crystal Palace, all the food is awesome. The corn beef hash can be a bit salty but oh the puffed french toast!

Le Cellier, cheese soup, caesar salad, BBQ filet and Mushroom filet, side of sauteed mushrooms and bernaise sauce. We order the same thing every time

Especially compared to my NY Strip for dinner!! YUMO!! It was awesome!! I loved it!! I ate the whole thing...which for me is a huge deal!! I had the chocolate wave for dessert!! Also yummy....and I had a strawberry pina colada (virgin) as my beverage with the plan. My DH had the crab soup I beleive and said it was good...the Mahi Mahi for entree...which he said was excellent and the creme brulee for dessert...also great! My DD14 had the chicken with Jasmin rice...I didnt think she would like the rice...as Jasmine is an unusual flavored spice...but she loved it...she had the calamari for an app...and the wave for dessert!! We had a great time...and all of our food was perfect! Our table was excellent...with a perfect view of the tank!! Have a great time there!!

LeCellier was PERFECT!! The server we had was awesome!! Explained everything from the bread sticks, drink, apps, desserts, entrees...everything!! I had the prime rib there...great!! FH also had the prime rib....and DD had the NY Strip I beleive. Everything was perfect!! I had the SMORES for dessert...DH had creme brulee...(seeing a pattern)...DD just had vanilla ice cream.

SCI Fi....I had the onion rings for an app, DH onion rings, DD onion rings....they were awesome! Milkshakes for a beverage. DD had the ribs...she didnt like them at all...they were very dry. I had a burger...it was fine...it was a burger....DH had the Reuben....he loved it...said it was awesome!! I had a hot fudge sundae for dessert, DH had some apple thing...and DD had a fruit salad. All was good....except the ribs! This restaurant is mainly for the atmosphere. But...hey you have to eat so why not!!

I do like the buffets too...more of a selection!! Something for everyone!!! Have fun and eat up!!

The lobster bisque at Coral Reef was delicious! I also liked the chocolate wave for dessert, but it was very, very rich!

We were not impressed with Sci Fi's food, but I ordered a pasta with shrimp. I've heard that you should go with the burgers and fries and milkshakes there. I did have a yummy chocolate dessert there, but I can't remember what it was called. The atmosphere there is awesome though!
