Just a brief report on some of the meals we had on our recent trip.

Tony's Town Square-
There were certainly a number of mixed reviews on this when I started looking at it, but I just had to try it. We had it for lunch on our first day at the park. The setting was very nice and the servers were also quite friendly and helpful. We started with soup and salad (DS and I shared a salad, DW and DD each had soup) The two soups were very good - I tasted them both and thought the Minestrone was a bit better. The garden salad was a very basic one with mixed greens , tomatoes, croutons, feta, etc. (just like DS likes it) and had a good Italian dressing on it (but a bit too much, I think I would order the dressing on the side next time).

For entrees, I had the vegetable calzone, DS had the baked ziti, DD&DW split an order of pasta primavera. The were all very good - quite a bit of garlic (but what is good Italian food without garlic?). The ziti and the calzone came with their basic marinara sauce. Some on the boards have said it was terrible but we all liked it. It is slightly sweet with small chunks of tomato and a good blend of garlic, onion, and italian seasonings. The calzone was filled with very tasty mozarella along with a load of musrooms, olives, onions, and pieces of plum tomatoes. I would have liked a few less mushrooms and bit more variety in the filling (e.g. broccoli, zuchini, etc.) but it was still VERY tasty. My son loved the baked ziti with cheese and meat sauce, and the primavera was very nicely done.

The atmosphere there was also very cozy, and we ate from the sun room which had a nice view of the family fun parade as they marched by. The conclusion - we really liked Tony's!:banana:

Boma's-
We made reservations here for an early dinner right after the park closed. No question here - we all thought it was great. A wonderful selection for everyone! DS liked the flatbread and hummus, the ribs, and the mac and cheese. DW and I loved the lentil stew, the beef, the chicken, the spiced potatoes, the meat pie, and the couscous. I loved the watermelon rind salad - lots of tasty ginger! DD liked the nice selction of both meat and vegetable entress. And we all loved the deserts (ooh that pineapple upside down cheesecake.....). This one got a big thumbs up from everyone.:thumbsup2 pixiedust: :thumbsup2

Tie-dye cheesecake (At POP)
.
Words can't describe the colors in this cheesecake (most of which can't be found in the natural world). The cheesecake is delicious - velvety cheesecake over a red velvet cake. Smooth and tasty. No words to describe the intensity of colors - so here's a picture....

We were also thinking about Tony's for lunch on our first day (had to find something in MK). Do you recall if they have steak on the lunch menu? We're not big Italian food fans (hated MM last year), and are doing CP dinner later in the trip & the other options don't really appeal to us. Plus, we will be raring to go that first day, so are hoping this will quicker than CP lunch. Was it quick for you?
 
You can find the menu for most Disney restaurants over at allearsnet, but basically they don't have the steak on the lunch menu which is (other than the soups and appetizers):

Grilled Salmon over Mixed Greens
Vegetable Calzone
Eggplant Parmigiana
Meatball Submarine
Italian Panini
Caesar Salad with Chicken
Bianca Flatbread
Tony's Flatbread
Lady and the Tramp's Combination
Panini of the Day

Shrimp Pasta
Chicken Parmigiana
Multigrain Pasta Primavera
Spaghetti
Baked Ziti

The lunch was very nice, wasn't slow service at all, but I'm not sure if it was faster than counter service. But then again, we were having a relaxing lunch. If you're not into Italian food at all you may want to go to Columbia House (for CS) or Liberty Tree (for TS). Both are quite nice with good food. Depending on the time of day if you just want something fast, you may want to try the CS in Tomorrowland. Or for really fast - we have also had the ready made gourmet sandwiches they serve in the Bakery on Main Street (I believe they had roast beef, ham, and vegetarian) - they were very good, very fast and we got a great cinnamon roll for dessert!

Good Luck! and Enjoy!
 

I'm glad to hear a positive Tony's review. :) We ADR's for lunch there this Sept. and I have read such mixed reviews. Thanks for making me feel better about my decision to dine there.


And that cheesecake looks so yummy! :goodvibes
 
Me too! We have dinner ADRs for Tony's in December. I wasn't going to change any of my reservations because of bad reviews but I was feeling a bit worried after reading some of the reviews. I'm glad you had a great experience. Hope we do too! :)
 
I've gotten steak at Tony's in the past at dinner. The current menu has:

New York Strip Steak - Served port wine sauce, baked romano cheese potatoes and broccolini. - $27.99

I'm also glad that Tony's had a good reveiw - we have an ADR there on 12/14, the night before son getting married at Disney and are going to enjoy MVMCP that evening - looking forward to it!
 
I am not sure if all restaurants do this but we asked the front desk of Boma's for the recipes of some of the menu items and they e-mailed us our favorite items.
 
I REALLY enjoy Boma! Can't wait to try the tie dyed cheesecake.
