Got back Saturday (April 10) and here is where we ate.

Wolfgang Puck's Cafe - Very good this time around. They still don't have Pad Thai Chicken on menu though. I had a pasta and chicken dish that was pretty good. DW had hamburger and don't remember what DD24 had. We will return again.

Cape May Clambake Buffet - Excellent. Second time we've eaten there and really enjoyed it. Loved the mussels and steamed shrimp. Very good carved roast beef also. Definitely will return.

Le Cellier - Excellent. First time for dinner. Had Cheddar Cheese soup which was fantastic and a steak which was fantastic also. Loved the pretzel bread. Definitely will return.

O'hana - Fair. Second time eating there and food was very good but service was lousy. Waitress only returned once with the second set of skewers and that was after we sat for 20 minutes waiting between skewers. DD24 only wanted the turkey and when she returned all she had was two pieces on the skewer, so we basically paid $23 for her to get two pieces of turkey. Having said that, I think our problem was unique to our server as I saw others around us getting very good service. Like I said the food was very good, I especially liked the shrimp but I think we'll skip O'hana next time.

Rainforest Cafe (DD) - Very good. Only waited 45 minutes, but that was at 4:30. Had spicy shrimp pasta which was delicious. Will return, but perhaps not next trip.

Character Breakfast Crystal Palace - Fourth time eating here. Not much you can do to mess up a breakast. Food good as usual. Characters a little slow coming around and unfortunately I took picture of DD24 with Pooh and battery died as I was taking picture. Oh well. Definitely will return (got to get that Pooh picture).

Worst meal of week - offsite at Bennigans - After La Nouba one night, all the DD restaurants had lines out the door, so we thought why not drive offsite and just find a chain. Went to Bennigans. Food was terrible. I had (once again) a chicken pasta dish, the thing was that there was cooked pasta and cooked chicken but absolutley no sauce at all, nada, nothing. Dish had no taste at all. Plus service was excrutiatingly slow and our waiter looked like someone had just driven along the road and picked him up and told him to start waiting on table. Had no clue about being an actual waiter. Definitely will never return.

We also ate at numerous counter service locations - all fine. Had sundaes a Garibaldi's one night - great also as usual.

Well that's our week at Disney.
 
Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear your service at 'Ohana was not superb. After all the great reviews from this board, we will try 'Ohana for the first time next month . Hope our experience is better.
 
We ate at 'Ohana on 3/29 and our server was GREAT. He brought gobs more of anything we asked for. My BIL ate enough shrimp to sink a barge, and he's a "restaurant-critical" type of guy. Be sure to try one of the desserts, if you still have room.

We were stuck on a slow bus from DTD and ended up being 1/2 hour late for our PS. They actually held it for us! Even though the place was packed that night. After eating we took a stroll around the grounds and along the Poly beach before we caught a bus back to OKW. Very nice.

We were in the restaurant late enough to view the fireworks at MK - not to be missed if at all possible.

We were also VERY pleasantly surprised by Le Cellier. Lunch was wonderful - open-faced sandwiches, salads and cheese soup were all great.

Great to hear reviews from a fellow Wolfpacker. I am sure that we share some of the same opinions!!;) I will be leaving in 7 days and will give my reviews when I return. Look for reviews on the Garden Grill, Alfredo's, and the Princess Storybook Breakfast.

Go Pack!!
 
Wonderful reviews! We're looking for dinner after Cirque, too, but we, for sure, won't hit Bennigans. I was thinking maybe House of Blues, instead, knowing we'll probably have to wait. Or maybe Wolfgang Puck's? Decisions. Decisions.

terribm, I look forward to reading your reviews when you get back.

192 days and counting . . . again!
 
Thanks for the reviews! I'm sorry you had some trouble with service at 'Ohana. We'll be eating there for the first time in June - I hope we don't get your server! :eek: And I think we all now know not to go to the Bennigan's near WDW!

It sounds like you had some wonderful meals otherwise.
 
Great reviews, thanks for sharing! We also had a terrible server when we went to Ohana in December. I'm taking my Mom next week, for her 1st time, and I'm praying the service is much better than before! :rolleyes:
 
great reviews. thanks we are trying le celllier in 2 weeks and was excited to read your review.
