Top Five Restaraunts outside the parks?

[Cmbar]

We are doing and impromtu "no parks" trip in a few weeks. Trying to plan some dinners outside the parks. Can I get some recommendations? We are a group of 6 with four of us staying at SSR and 2 at POP. Will have a car but would probably use bus system since we all can't fit in the car (legally that is). Looks like lots of availability for most restraunts, so I just need some recommendations to help me out!

Would love some suggestions. We are thinking about Turf Club at SSR and Cape May at Beach Club. We like American Grill type but are willing to try some new stuff (definitely a good steak one night)

Thanks so much!

This is my opinion and wouldn't necessarily be yours since you're into American food and I don't do steak. Although I believe all of these places serve steak.

Jiko
Bluezoo
Flying Fish
Sanaa
California Grill if I don't want entrees, Turf Club if I do

Thanks Nala! I don't think I have heard of Bluezoo? We are staying at Kidani in June and definitely have Sanaa and Jiko or Boma on the list. So I wasn't really thinking that resort this trip. Glad to see those rate so high for you! Oh my, can I make those ressies already? We travel June 21st for six nights. I better go check the calculator so I can secure those since we will be party of nine then!
Thanks for your input!

Kona

Use to like Capt'n Jacks when they had the twin lobsters but not much choice ther now

Bluezoo is Todd English's restaurant at the Dolphin (if you're on the dining plan, scratch it, they don't take it)

Hi,
Il Mulino's at the Swan, Shula's Steakhouse at the Dolphin and Jiko's at the AKL's Jumbo House are all great places to have a great dinning experiance.

We love Cape May, Kona and Ohana. Also, Wolfgang Puck Express even though it's a counter service the food it fantastic and they have servers that bring it to your table as well they fill drinks and bring desserts. The portions are enormous.

We are planning to try Kouzzina next time...it's sounds like it gets good reviews.

 

[USAswimmer626]

These are my top five (in order).

1. The Wave
2. Ohana
3. Boma
4. Wolfgang Puck Express (counter service)
5. Kona

 

[MainStMandy]

Jiko
Wolfgang Pucks
Raglan Road
'Ohana
ESPN

Kona for dinner
Wolfgang Puck Express
POP Food Court or POR Food Court for a less expensive counter service meal
Chef Mickey for breakfast
Whispering Canyon for the skillet dinner
