Romantic Resturant

[tinkfriend37]

I am looking for a romantic resturant for our wedding anniversary. The hard thing is our anniversary is December 29th.

My husband and I always try for a night together at le Cellier. I love the atmosphere, not too loud, but not too quiet to where you feel like you can't have a good time. We LOVE the food there. Aside - we don't like traveling outside the parks for meals, it just takes too long, unless that's where we are staying. So my opinion is really just inside the parks. I have been to Il Mulino and it was fantastic, and we LOVE Raglan Road (it's not super romantic, but very fun!)

OH - CA Grille is AMAZING. It's so close to MK I wouldn't consider it outside the park since you can get there quick on the monorail. It's definitely romantic and the food is fantastic.

I would check what is available first and then, perhaps, list your options here so we can give you some advice. Will you be in a particular park that day? Where are you staying? We could also help you cut down travel time since that will be key that week of travel.

For a romantic anniversary dinner I'd go with one of the quieter signature restaurants like Citrico, Jiko or Flying Fish.

My mom, my brother and I ate a table in the wine room at California Grill about 10 years ago. The young man at the other table in the room proposed to his girl at the only other table in the room. I think that’s a good restaurant and room to shoot for.

Thanks for your reply. We are planning on a trip for our 5 year anniversary. It is still 4 years away. I am hoping to be in Epcot or Animal Kingdom as they are my two favorite parks. I have been to California Grill before 5 years ago with my family. Another challenge for me is I have severe food allergies. We are most likely going to stay in a moderate resort like the Caribbean Bea

We are most likely going to stay in port orleans or carribean beach.

I agree with PPs about Le Cellier and Flying Fish being good options.

Some ideas:

San Angel Inn is always lovely with the view of the ride and candelight (nevermind that the food is like Chevy's) and it's a lot less expensive if cost is a concern.

Narcoossee's is very nice too with beautiful lake views.

Jaleo is the go-to date night for DH and I at home. Always fantastic food and wine.

Tiffins is lovely for a quiet meal with great food.

 

[tinkfriend37]

I will look into Tiffins. Thanks

Thanks for those ideas. I will look into them

V&A's is definitely as romantic as you can get I feel, however it is not priced for everyone and also not everyones taste.

CA Grill like many others is an excellent choice

Jiko is as well-- a little quieter than Tiffins IMO since it is not in the theme park

Le Cellier is also a great option!

Truthfully it is hard to top V&A when it comes to an unforgettable dining experience. The service and atmosphere itself is stellar

Kind of hard to determine what you consider "romantic" as it may not be the same as I think. For me, spending time with DH over dinner can be romantic wherever we are, but I'm going to interpret it as: relatively quiet atmosphere, tables not too close together so you can actually have a private conversation, a place where you can linger a bit over a meal without feeling like you're going to be pushed to move out, no pre-set menu designed to turn over tables quickly and no "show" atmosphere (i.e., not a character meal, not someplace where there are antics).

V&A
Jiko
California Grill
Tiffin's
Spice Road Table - it's outside and a little bit noisier due to that but we found it to be a lovely place to sit since it's open and by the water (maybe ask for a table right at the water).
Il Mulino (Swan)
Terralina Crafted Italian (Disney Springs)

EDIT: also the Wave at CR - we've not had dinner there but we've done breakfast a couple of times and the tables are a decent distance away, the food looks good (breakfast definitely is), and I think it tends to be a fairly non-busy place - full perhaps but not with tons of people waiting so less incentive to rush you through.

My husband and I had a wonderful (and reasonable) late lunch in July at Geyser Point at WL. They had my favorite beer and my husband got to try a new beer he loved, I think it was called dragons tooth. We had a wonderful bartender who was friendly and helpful. We were just going to have a drink at the bar but the open air location and lovely breeze near the water was comfortable even in July. We are going back on our next trip in a few weeks. His bison burger and my salmon were perfectly cooked. In that day it was laid back and we weren’t rushed. It was a wonderful unhurried meal and it’s been hard to manage that in our experience during our last few trips except for at Il Mulino.

If you plan on being in Animal Kingdom, I would consider going over to AKL and eating at Jiko. If you plan on being in EP, I would consider Takumi-Tei (if you like Japanese food) or walking to the Boardwalk and eating at Flying Fish. Since your trip is four years away, I would also keep your eyes open for any new restaurants that might open between now and then.

V&A if you can afford it.
California Grill, Tiffins, Jiko, Flying Fish, Bluezoo, Takumi-Tei and Monsieur Paul are favorites of ours.

My husband and I just had a lovely, romantic dinner at Spice Road Table! Excellent service and food, and the atmosphere was just beautiful. So pretty to be right on the water as all of the lights start to come on around the World Showcase. I would honestly rank the NY Strip I had there as the second best steak I've had on property--Le Cellier is the first.
