Tell me about Shutters at CBR

[momtojt]

We are staying at CBR for the 1st time. Can anyone tell me if we should eat there or not. We have the QS plan so it would be out of pocket and we are doing 2 OOP already.
Thanks!

We ate there in 2007 on DDP and HATED it. It was the only TS restaurant out of 10 restaurants that we all vowed we'd NEVER go back to. DH's steak tasted like liver, my entree (can't remember what it was) wasn't much better, even the kids hated their kids' meals. If I were you, I'd stay away!

We ate there in '07 when we were staying at CBR and were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent as was the service. I would not hesitate to eat there again. We stayed at the Poly last year and in my opinion, the food at Shutters and at the food court in CBR was so much better than the food options at Poly, including Kona and 'OHana.

My entire family went there because we were staying at the resort and it was raining so bad, no one wanted to go anywhere else. We had 6 adults and 2 children.

I wouldn't say the food was spectacular, but it was good and very convenient, since we were staying at the resort. Every time I've ever been there, the service has been excellent.

If you have the time, maybe one of the DTD restaurants would be better. If not and for the convenience, I'd definitely recommend.

We also hated it!! The food was mediocre at best, we ate there 3 years ago, and we vowed never to eat there again, and we haven't!!!! DH will never go back!!!

We went this past January and liked it very much. The food was good and the service was by far the best we received all trip. We were on the dining plan though - if I were paying OOP and were only doing a few TS restaurants, then I would probably plan a more "special" meal. Either character meal, or something that gets rave reviews, rather than one just because it's at your resort.

I would not pay OOP for Shutters. It is just an OK place and right off the main food court and nothing special in MOP.

With all the other choices to pick from I think your money would be better spent some place else.

We ate there once because we were staying at CBR(love the resort) and our plans changed and we were tired but not again!

Ate there before it was Shutters and After it became Shutters..Both times were awful.The food and service was terrible

We ate there twice in 2008 and once in 2009. The entire family loved it. We really enjoy the food and service at this location. The only reason we will not be eating there again this year is that we want to try a few different locations this year.

We just got back from our trip, and we were staying at CBR. We had not planned on eating at Shutters as we were not on a meal plan, but one night Dh decided he wanted to try it. And it was fantastic! I'd definitely go back. Dh and I both split a Ceasar Salad, Shrimp Fritters (yummy!) and the Caribbean Pasta... all were very tasty. Our dd had the kids cheeseburger and it came with a very fun make your own sundae. She loved it. My absolute favorite item though, was a smoothie, which I believe was called Raspberry Lava or something like that. OMG! So good!

Before planning our trip I too had read mediocre reviews on Shutters, so it was not a must do. But I don't know, we love it! And the service was the absolute best we had all trip. Our server was the most upbeat and friendly woman at Disney! lol...

We hiked from POP over to CBR to eat at Shutters and it was the worst meal we had during our 2005 stay.
How do you ruin crabcakes?

That being said, it has been 5 years, maybe they have improved, but I won't be back to check...
