Restaurant suggestion for someone who's never been?

[MinniesYooHoo]

If you could suggest 1 nice restaurant to someone who's never been to Disney what would it be? (Any park or resort.)

For me, it would have to be the castle (Cinderella's Royal Table as it is currently called). There's just nothing like it!

I'm sorry. I forgot to add that they're kinda foodies. So nothing too "childish". I know that sounds crazy since they will be in Disney, but They would like something sort of intimate.

Narcoossee's during Wishes.

Intimate... and with wishes you get the full Disney touch.

Then, hands down it's Victoria's and Albert's at the GF!

I would go with California Grill with a view of wishes

Awsome suggestions! It's always fun to hear what other folks like. You know how we all get stuck in a rut? Thanks!!!

Another excellent one is Jiko's in AKL. Great food and service, and an "adult" atmosphere!

My son ans I totally LOVED Olivia's (Especially WAY more than the Yachtsman).
Our server was Carrie. She was WONDERFUL!!! The food was SOOOOO good! Definitely recommend. DON'T waste your $$ on Yachtsman. It was the WORST restaurant that we ate at (altho the Tomato salad was Very good)
Wasn't thrilled with Whispering Winds or SciFi Drive in either.

I vote for either Jiko or The Wave!

Nothing compares to V&A. Some of Disney's signature restaurants are good but they don't compare to V&A. No children under 10 allowed, it's a 5 star restaurant, ranked in the top 50 in the country.

Others that we enjoy are Bistro de Paris and bluezoo. These are not on the dining plan and still offer many unique dishes.

If they are "foodies" and not kiddies, I definately would not do Cal Grill for wishes.
The is prime time for kiddies running around waiting for Wishes.

For more of an intimate couples dinner, my #1 choice would be Jiko.
The servers knowledge of menu and wine menu is amazing.
The flatbreads are to die for.
And the food excellent.

By any park, any resort, do you mean any Disney resort?

Disneyland's Blue Bayou has awesome atmosphere and great food. I took DF for his first Disney trip there and it really gave off that great Disney feel!

I haven't been to WDW so I can't reccommend any of those, but this thread is really helping me too!

 

[MinniesYooHoo]

Thanks so much everyone for the GREAT suggestions!! I will let my friends know of your suggestions. I can always count my fellow DISers!

narcousses, and Yachtsmans Steakhouse have really great food.

I'd go to Artist's Point or Jiko. Both resorts are really immersive. Although Flying Fish on the Boardwalk - with Boardwalk entertainment afterwards - also provides a good feel on what Disney does best for grown ups.

It isn't the restaurants for these spots as much as it is the immersive feel of the resorts they are located in.

Citrico's, at Grand Floridian, is always our top choice. We have always had a quiet and delicious meal every time we have been. We also enjoy Bluezoo at the Dolphin.
