Tried some new and some favorits for this xmas trip(our 5th in a row during xmas week).

Sunday 12/27 Nine Dragons(CP package)
1st time here...apps: pork dumplings and spring rolls-average but sauses very good esp the spicy one. DH had sweet/sour chicken, again average chinese fare, I had shrimp and steak-very good on both parts..dessert was ginger cake and ginger ice cream-OK, but I like the ice cream at Teppan better. won't rush there again, but meal was fine.

Monday 12/28 The Wave (contemp)
This was a last minute adr we did after we arrived. Really enjoyed this meal and the atmosphere of the restaurant. CMs were wonderful and helpful. DH had lamb shanks and I had crispy fish-both were wonderful. the desserts are interesting as they are a combo of three petite desserts, I had the no sugar added one that was choc mint mouse, fresh fruit and creme brulee-all amazing; DH had combo with carrot cake and two other(can't rememer them) and they were also good, but the best was realllllll coffee, yum. We will definitely return.

Tuesday Tusker House (Nemo package lunch)

Very good meal lots of choices and only thing that lacks in my opinio is desserts for those who avoid sugar(I had gastric-bypass and do not fo sugar). Everything else was wonderful and love seeing Nemo show without the 2 hour line-up.

Tuesday Chefs de France(dinner
1st time here and we went very late (9:50pm) on late emh night. I was leary about the service, but our server Thomas was amazing, charming and very attentive. I had salad with blue cheese and DH had french onion soup for apps-very good; DH had braised beef ribs and I had salmon. DH had choc cake for dessert and it was good, not great. I loved the atmosphere and we would return again. Only negative note was right as we entered and checked in. female CM was cold and did not even look for our adr..just gave us over to person to seat us..too busy flirting with her freind.

Wed Kona Cafe
Our regular visit here did not disappoint! Everything we have had there has been wonderful.

Thursday NYE Kouzzina

Like the place when it was Spoodles and I am greek so I really like the new restaurant. We did have trouble waiting for table had adt for 8pm and got there aroun 7:50 and we told 10-15 minutes..we still were not seated at 8:25 and asked to check and it was apparent that someone seated another party instead of us and they tried to cover it up. We did not make a scene and were seated in 2 minutes and had a great server. I had salad as app and calamari appetizer as my meal.DH had steak, both good. We had greek cookies and galotobouriko(custard) for dessert(my mom's is better, but they were good).


Counter service:

Sunshine (epcot)
We split Mongolian beef and creme brulee-both very good. Hard to find seat..we were lucky and got a small 2 seat table just as we got there and DH went in line to get food.

Wolfgang Puck DTD-
DH had chicken pizza, I had beef and blue cheese foccacia-both were amazing-great use of cs credits.

Artiste Palette (SSR)

Crazy ordering system for this place...we were told the wrong directions and were supposed to have paid before you pick up, but overall..the food was good, but really unorganized. DH had half chicken panini and chili and I had half turkey brie sand and potato soup-food was good and fresh, but the process made it unpleasant to eat there at lunch. they had good sugar-free brownie for me for dessert.

Pizzafari-breakfast

we went here after FLK show. We shared a breakfast pizza and dh had danish also..coffee is disgusting as all other wdw cs.

Noodle station MK breakfast

went after morning emh both had breakfast platters, good except biscuits were inedible. coffe disgusting again(hit main street bakery for latte).

Backlot express (DHS)
went here for lunch after Car stunt show. Quick and ok. I had chicken caesar wrap and dh had pulled pork sandwich. Dessert were choc cake Ok.

Your welcome..forgot to say we had ddp, but we paid cash for CP dinner package at Nine Dragons. Feel like the cs meals we chose really were good choices and we often split meals. I only eat small portions due to gastric by pass surgery last January(have lost 115lbs) but had no problem enjoying WDW dining. thought that ddp might not have been worth the money but after calculating it the only issue is that I often didn't eat dessert(few no-sugar added choices), but we did take some home for DH to have for a snack. The only buffet we did was Tusker House and the choices there for me were great..Found that I was able to use snack credits for Lattes and cappicinos at some places and not others.

thanks for the review. I have read alot of good things about The Wave and I need to try that on the next trip...I want to actually order the Lamb Shank. My husband and I love eating at Chefs de France, last time we were there I had the braised beef ribs and it was so good.
