Revised List - ADRs due by FEB 20th

[davidc1]

Hey guys was wondering if you can weigh in on these reservations. I have 2 weeks in WDW and came up with these reservations. Need some advice and any suggestions. Additions and replacements are welcomed!

Ohana
CA Grill
Artist's Point
Yachtsman Steakhouse
Jiko
Flying Fish
Plaza Restaurant
Via Napoli or Tutto Italia ? (need suggestions)
Teppan Edo
Rose Crown Pub
Le Cellier
Tony's (mixed reviews...keep or cut?)
Narcoossee's or Citricos ?

Any other suggestions?? Additions or replacements? Most of these are dinner reservations except Le Cellier. What are some good counter services?

I haven't heard a single positive review on Tony's here on the DIS so I would cut that one but all of the others look great to me. My 1st trip is next week so I comment from personal experience!

Also, Tutto is closed right now for refurbishment so depending on when your trip is, it may or may not even be an option for you.

Narcoossee's is one of our favs. DH hates eating out and he raved about it, so it must be pretty darn good. The service was top notch, food is terrific, view is breath taking (especially during the fireworks). We plan on doing it every trip, twice so far.

I think, with the exception of Tony's (sorry), you have a great line up!!! I would choose Via Napoli over Tutto Italia.....We are trying Citricos in June for the first time, so I can't give my opinion on it, but I've read so many positive reviews. Narcoosee's is one of our favorites.

Where are you staying? I usually calibrate where we are eating based on where we are staying, and the park we're at. Your plans are heavy on MK and WS. If you are staying at a monorail resort, getting to MK area eateries is easy, but WS are not as easy. If you are staying near Epcot, then eating near Epcot is easier. Eating in WS means either hopping into Epcot or making Epcot your park for the day. If you don't plan to hop, then you'll need to consider where you will be each day. In that sense, you might want to consider eating in HS.



Do you have a car? If you don't have a car, and are not staying over near MK, then you will waste quite a bit of time on transportation getting over that way (unless you are planning on spending most of your time near MK.) Even witha car, I'd maybe spread out a little more.

I've never done Jiko - but that's because we love Boma.



I like BOTH Narcoosee's and Citricos over CA Grill. (everything about CA Grill is overhyped here, IMO.)

Tony's food is not so great, but the layout is cute. Get the spagetti.


Both Tutto and Via Napoli are great. As another poster said, Tutto is being remodeled; none of us knows exactly what it will be like when it reopens. Odds are good whenever they do a major remodel that they will make menu changes. If Tutto is even open when you go, and you are on DDP - then I'd say go for Tutto. If you are not on DDP, then maybe give Napoli a try.


Otherwise, I'd say your list is fine.

Two weeks at WDW? Boy do I envy you.

Looks like a pretty solid list. I would go for Tutto Italia definitely.

Those are great choices. I would possible reconsider a few though.

For instance, I would eat lunch at The Plaza instead of dinner since most of the menu consists of sandwich type food.

Also, I think some have mentioned, but Tony's is not getting rave reviews. We didn't like the food there either. It just seemed like everything was wrong - some items were too salty and others quite bland.

Since I have not dined at Tutto, I can't give a suggestion on which, but I didn't find Via Napoli that great.

Jiko and Flying Fish are amazing. I would recommend both to everyone. Although I did find that Flying Fish was a bit louder than I expected, the food was wonderful.

We usually go for 2 weeks at a time also (our flights are costly, that we feel we need to stay longer to make up for it) and I only book 4 signatures (out of 26 ADRS for this upcoming trip) to minimize the cost. So I envy all the signatures you have planned for one trip. We prefer table service restaurants - so we generally have two table service per day and snack for the other meal. So, can't book too many signatures.

Ok ill will cut Tony's due to the fact that it is consistently reviewed poorly...and i still have to decide between tutto and via. Ill be heading there sept so tutto should be finishd by then.

can anyone recommned any counter service?

Narcoossee's or Citricos ?

Any other suggestions?? Additions or replacements? Most of these are dinner reservations except Le Cellier. What are some good counter services?

CUT out Tony's. It is absolutely disgusting. I wouldnt call that italian food. The food is beyond gross. Your better off at any of the other restaurants in MK, or go to one of the nearby resorts.

You have some AMAZING choices!!!

I would go with Via if you havent tried yet. Most of their ingredients for the pizza come straight from Italy! But if your not pizza people, and are looking more at pasta dishes, then maybe tutto is best. Via has pasta, but i think Tutto has a bigger variety.

As for counter service, in epcot? or all parks?
Epcot: Fish N' Chips stand in the UK Pavilion, Sunshine seasons
HS: Skip all counter service. Esp Toy Story Pizza Planet. Gross pizza.
MK: Cosmic Rays, MK Bakery (they have sandwiches!), Columbia Harbor House, Pecos Bills.
AK: Flametree

After all of the negative Tony's reviews, I changed our Magic kingdom-day dinner to Whispering Canyon Cafe. You can go by boat from MK straight to Wilderness Lodge, so that's one reason I chose it. Enjoy your two weeks!!

I'm staying at CR so that's near the MK. So I guess I will remove Tony's. Any other suggestions? Like restaurants in DTD or Hollywood Studios?

Good choice on removing Tony's. Im so proud. Lol.

In DTD I VERY HIGHLY recommend Wolfgang Puck Express at marketplace. Its a QS credit, but its OMG so yummy! Its by far one of the best meals ive had, and possibly better than most TS meals ive had! Raglan Road is also great. so good! Sorry, did I already mention that in my previous post?

In HS the only place worth eating I think is 50's. Great comfort food.

 

[davidc1]

Which is preferable? Narcossee's or Citricos???

 

[DisneyMom2Boyz]

We went to Tonys and didn't finish the meal was BAD! We would not ever consider going back. Whispering Canyon is good and lots of fun with great food (skillet). Ohana is great. If you want Italian I heard Mama Melrose at Disney Studios was good, never went. Really recommend Whispering Canyon.

Thanks for all the help! My adr date is tomorrow and hoping to get the restaurants i have listed.
