NOTE1: Tiffins is located within the Animal Kingdom park, and is "allegedly" a Signature Dining experience (at least in cost). The atmosphere is fresh and light, and (surprisingly) the noise level is acceptable. Although new, we found the service a little slow and uneven for attentiveness. The place is almost "Snooty" or "Uppity" when thinking about SERVERS and service, and I have no idea why, as it is not very crowded, and SERVERS are actually transferring to other eateries since the crowds and tips are so low (thus, a low income versus other eateries).The prices were higher than we would guess, but it is a SIG within a park, so WDW figured they can charge anything they wish, regardless of quality in food or service. Even if you are a chocoholic, pass the South American Chocolate Ganache dessert.

NOTE2: As opposed to other better WDW eateries, one cannot order "restaurant" food at the Nomad Lounge bar. Only the "bar menu" is available.
.
NOTE3: I know the new manager of the eatery, and unfortunately never saw him move among the diners. This is something I would expect at a Signature restaurant. What a pity. He should have seen what was happening and talked to the other guests who had complaints.
