I've been watching a lot of top ten videos recently, and I was wondering what yours are? Mine, based on a mix of food and atmosphere, in order from least to most favorite are;

Brown Derby at Hollywood Studios It used to be higher on my list, and it's still easily the best food at Hollywood Studios, but there's nothing there that's so amazing for me to rank it any higher after having been to so many of the restaurants on property.

Yachtsman Steakhouse
at the Yacht Club I don't even eat red meat anymore and this is still in my top ten. They do everything well, from the steaks, to the seafood, to dessert, but my favorite part of the meal might honestly be the pull-apart rolls with roasted garlic.

Kona Cafe at the Polynesian This might've also made my top ten partly because of the bread too. But they also have great sushi, though nothing I've had here has ever been bad. They also have a really good breakfast. And some more unique cocktails when compared to a lot of the other restaurants.

Biergarten at Epcot This makes my top ten mostly for atmosphere, as I love the German setting and oompa band. The food is good too though, and they possibly have the best desserts of any buffet in Disney.

Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Tusker House at Animal Kingdom These two are so similar that I just put them together, for food I like Boma slightly better, but Tusker House has the characters. Both have very good breakfast and dinner buffets, and the food is much more interesting than any other buffet on property.

Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom This one would be lower on my list if it were for the food alone, but I love eating in the castle. The food here is good, and the last time I ate here was possibly the best meal I've had yet, but the atmosphere is what really makes this place special.

Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom Breakfast is probably my favorite meal here, but lunch and dinner are good too. The restaurant is beautiful, and I love Pooh and the rest of his gang. The breakfast lasagna and puffed French toast are my favorite breakfast foods in Disney.

Jiko at Animal Kingdom Lodge Jiko used to constantly underwhelm me, but the past few times I've been there it's been incredible. The filet is probably tied with the one at Yachtsman Steakhouse as the best on property, especially with the macaroni and cheese, and they have the best and most unique vegetarian options on property.

California Grill at the Contemporary Resort This gets my top two spot over Jiko thanks to atmosphere, and the fact that I've never been disappointed with my meal there. I love making a meal out of appetizers there; flatbread, sushi, and all the other wonderful things, and I love timing my meal with Wishes.

Be Our Guest at Magic Kingdom This might be biased since my favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast, so the atmosphere makes it even more wonderful to me, but the food here is pretty amazing too, especially the French onion soup and cupcakes. I only wish it wasn't so hard to get an ADR here.

Tony's isn't anywhere near my top ten either, though if I had to pick a least favorite, it'd probably have to be Marrakesh for food, though not for atmosphere.

Not in any order just our top 10

1) Narcossee - We have always had good service, and the food has been really good for us. We love the water parade, and fireworks. We dine later normally after 8:00 and have found it a lot less noisy than prime time. Great Wine list.

2) Flying Fish - WE love the atmosphere here, and the potato crusted snapper super yummy, and the chocolate dessert with bacon just amazing. Last time we did have issue with ADR time and having to wait forever, and service normally here is spot on and was just okay our last visit, honestly I think they were under staffed, and our server had a large table full of people with no manners, and they honestly thought they were the only people in the restaurant.

3) Chef's of France - Please just let the server talk to me!!! I have been practicing my French here, and its nice to get some help with cadence and pattern. Ohhh I lost my train of thought ... okay ... the food, and wine is wonderful.. Love sitting at the window watching the people at the fountain.

4) Tusker House, best character breakfast- love the offering good options for basic and more adventurous eaters, and the juice they serve... Frunch I think its called. Love the character in the safari attire.

5) Portobello Country Italian - We enjoy this spot later in the evening, we would not even try prime time here once was enough, The antipasti Platter here is one of our fav's again great beer and wine offerings. We have always had great service and food here.

6)T-REx & Rain Forest - basic pub food, but the atmosphere is so fun you can't help but enjoy it.

7) Tutto - Has the best fish, filet of Sole super simple and rustic, and flavorful, DH loves the lasagna and chicken parm dish. Service can be a bit slow, maybe a bit more paced might be a better description.

8) Teppan Edo - This is one of DH fav's, I enjoy it too. Nice show and meal

9) Chef Mickeys - while we don't do this one all the time, nothing says Disney like the Fab 5, Food or service has never been a issue so we enjoy it.

10) Spice Road Table - we are just dipping into this type of cuisine, and it has been a great jumping off point for us. More relaxed and paced style meal.
