reviews of new DDP DTD locations??

[nkereina]

With all these DDP additions for 2012, we're excited to try some of the DTD locations we haven't tried before. Looking for some opinions on these:

Fulton's - how does it compare to Cap'n Jacks??
Paradiso 37
Portobello
Wolgang Puck: The Dining Room

Thanks!

We went to WP's Grand Cafe (downstairs part of Dining Room) last night. The calamari was bland and nasty, the sushi was not fresh, but the pizza was ok. I would avoid it personally.

The Dining Room Upstairs is nothing like the Cafe downstairs. However, I don't think it's fair to provide reviews on any of these that have not been on the dining plan before. Going on the dining plan means that they will get reimbursed a set amount by Disney for the meals so the menus could drastically change in order for them to turn a profit. As has happened at the other signatures, most of the unique dishes will most likely fall off the menu with time.

I've dined at Upstairs, Fulton's and Portabello and have thought they were all decent enough.

While this is true, I wouldn't expect the atmosphere and service of the places to change. And I wouldn't expect the majority of the dishes to change all that drastically. Just looking for opinions on what seems to be popular and what doesn't, since I've never paid attention to these reviews in the past.
