Top 10 Restaurants You've Never Tried

[DEA]

1. Victoria and Albert's -- It sounds like an amazing experience, but we haven't been able to talk ourselves into it quite yet.

2. Citricos -- I loved the look of the restaurant when we stopped by their bar once for a glass of wine. I get to check this one off this month.

3. Yachtsman Steakhouse -- The review on the podcast was so good, it made it on the list for this month's trip, too. I am eagerly anticipating it.

4. Yak and Yeti -- At the Animal Kingdom, Tusker House has been our go-to. It is hard to pass it up, but perhaps the next family trip will have to have to Animal Kingdom days...

5. Portobello Yacht Club -- Again, the podcast review was so overwhelmingly positive that I feel like I must take a trip over there at some point.

6. Kona Cafe Sushi Bar -- It just sounds good. Pricey, but good.

7. Artist Point -- By the end of 2010, this should be the only signature restaurant at Disney that I have not visited (V&A's excepted, as they seem a level above 'signature', and not counting the 2TS shows). Just for the sake of completeness, it makes the list.

8. Caoe May Cafe -- It just sounds good. I will probably visit it in November after Food and Wine.

9. La Hacienda de San Angel -- I like Mexican food, it's new, and, frankly, Disney owes me after the meal I had at Cantina de San Angel last year.

10. Kouzzina -- I like Greek food, and this seems... like Greek food.

1. Shulas - going there in December. Dh wanted this. I think he will devour the steak. I am only giving into this since he changed my bandages like 300 times last year.

2. Flying Fish - going there in December too

3. Il Mulino - smells so good when we walk by. Little concerned about the menu.

4. Todd English Blue Zoo - Menu looks awesome

5. Sanaa - Looks like food dh would like, only problem is its such a trip to get to transportation wise

6. Jiko - see 5 above

7. Mama Melrose - only because it has the fantasmic pkg. and the lack of decent food in HS

8. Sci - Fi - only due to the atmosphere. I heard the food is so-so. Also a little apprehensive about sitting in the car with other people etc.

9. Beaches and Cream - Always go by it when we are staying at the Yacht Club. Need to try it once.

10. Wolfgang Puck Cafe - interesting menu, but a pain to get to too transportation wise.

1) Artist Point - We've stayed at WL 3 times in the last 3 year's and have yet to eat here! We'll definitely be trying it on one of our trips next year. DH was very intested in it when he saw the menu outside.

2) Yachtsman Steak House - We love a good steak and usually get our fill at Le Cellier and Jiko but I would like to try it here for research purposes

3) Boma - When we go to AKL for dinner it's always to Jiko which is our absolute favorite. Since we've always stayed at WL it's a trk to AKL so we only do it once. Since we are now DVC members at AKL we are fairly certain one of the trips we take next year will be spent entirely at AKL so we will do both Jiko and Boma on that trip.

4) Kona Sushi Bar - We love sushi and the offerings here look really good and interesting. We'll try it!

5) Narcosee's - Being from New England, we love seafood and we've heard this is one of the better places on property for it so we'll try it.

6) Fulton's - Again, we hear this is a great place for seafood so we'd like to try it

7) Tutto Italia - We tried Mama Melrose for the first time on our last trip and really enjoyed it, but I would like to see how Tutto stacks up

8) ESPN Club - We hear it's nothing special but I'd still like to try it

9) Brown Derby - I have a friend who said this is his favorite restaurant and I love cobb salad so I have to try it at some point

10) San Angel Inn - I know this place gets bad reviews but we have friends who tried it recently and really enjoyed it. I am a firm believer in trying things for yourself so at some point, we'll give it a go.

The only places I haven't tried but want to are Tutto Italia and Kouzinna. And we're going to both on the next trip.

We've done V&A's, afternoon tea, Citricos, Yachtsman's... If we want to try someplace, we book an ADR and go.

Kouzzina - We love Greek food and even though reviews have been mixed I think we would like it!

Go for it! I'm a professional chef and can safely assure you that it is one of the best overall dining experiences at WDW if you like Greek food.

My list would include, in no particular order:

Dole Whip - I'm not sure how I've never managed to try one but apparantly I'm really missing something!
Ice Cream Sandwich fron Main Street Bakery - Fresh baked cookies with ice cream in the middle? How can you possibly go wrong??
Boma - I'll admit it - I'm a little scared. It's on our must do list for our next trip.
Akerhus - Again, a little frightened by the menu.
Kona Cafe - We always end up at O'hana because it is DH's fave. I don't want to visit two restaurants in the same resort on a single trip. Silly, I know.
Yachtsman - Hey, what can I say?! I'm a mid-western girl, born & bred. I like me some beef!
Rose & Crown - Every party has a pooper & this party's pooper is my DH. Period. Oldest DD & I really fought for this one on our last trip but he refused.
Tutto Italia - We all love Italian. We've just never made it here.
Coral Reef - Mixed reviews kinda scare me off but I think we're gonna go for it!
Liberty Tree Tavern - Comfort food, served family-style.
