What are your favorites at these restaurants?

[figment814]

I have ADR's for a few restaurants that I have either not eaten at or have not eaten at since I became obsessed with Disney food! However, I have not had a lot of time do research recently about what I want to eat!

What are your favorite meals at the following:

Liberty Tree Tavern (Lunch)
50's Primetime (Lunch)
Kona Cafe (Dinner)
Paradiso 37 (dinner)

Thanks in advance!

We just got back and we ate at Kona...I hate to say it was terrible.
We waited 50 minutes past our ADR and the meal only took 45 min, it was so rushed.
The food was cold and was obviously sittin under heat lamps.
It was our anniversary and it was the only restaurant all week that didn't acknowledge it.

If I ever go back, it will be for lunch..MAYBE.

Ok, the bread was good, but the server pulled it right off the table as we were eating it to rush us off. The bill came after we were on our second bite of dessert.
There was a manager hovering next to our table with an electronic clipboard micromanaging every second.
The steak was tough, the salad was dry, the scallops were cold.

I thought the rib eye was very good for dinner at Kona and DH thought the teriyaki new york steak was very good at Kona. We haven't been to the others.

At LTT: the Wm. Penn Pasta is very good. The Pot Roast is too.
At Kona (one of our favs) the Teriyaki Steak is my favorite, though my DD loves the tuna dish best. The Sticky Wings are soooo good. I always ask for O'Hana bread pudding dessert and have never been refused. Unlike pp, we have always had good service and fresh food, never rushed. Hope it hasn't gone downhill since April. At 50's the fried chicken is my personal favorite, with S'mores for dessert.

At 50's Prime Time, my favorite is the meatloaf. At Liberty Tree Tavern, it's the Pilgrim's Feast(turkey and dressing).

I second the pot roast at LTT. It is a large portion and heavy for lunch, it is perfect for sharing, but delicious.

I never seem to hit the food right at Kona other than dessert. I've not enjoyed my entrees there, but the Kona Cone for dessert makes up for it!

What are your favorite meals at the following:

Liberty Tree Tavern (Lunch) DH loved the Pilgrim Feast; I had a panini which is no longer on the menu (it was very good)
50's Primetime (Lunch) -- haven't done in years, but DH always liked the pot roast and I liked the fried chicken
Kona Cafe (Dinner)
Paradiso 37 (dinner)

Thanks in advance!

For the two places we've gone, I made our notations in red

LOVE the meatloaf at 50's! I want to try something new this trip but don't know if I can't part with this dish. It was just so good!

The fried chicken at 50's Prime Time Cafe! This is usually our dinner on the first night we are there!! Not this year though, since we are arriving on Turkey Day!

We've always had a GREAT meal here!!! Never an experience like Jeanieblue114 had. But I always tend to get an ADR when the rest. first opens. I've always gotten good food here and never felt rushed.

The bread and butter they serve before dinner is AWESOME!!!!! It's heaven! The teriyaki steak is good and the almond crusted chicken is good. The sticky wings app. is AWESOME!!!

The chocolate fondue is good. Well, all the desserts are good. I've always had a good meal here, and I've eaten here three, soon to be four, times.

Kona Cafe
App: The Pot Stickers are very good if you like duck.
Entree: If you do not mind seared Tuna (raw in the center.) you can not go wrong with the Tuna Oscar.
Dessert: Banana-Chocolate Creme Brulee is excellent.

I am quite surprised to see this at Kona. I can understand an occasional bad meal, it happens. But taking away the bread and rushing you out is unacceptable.
I do not care how busy they are.

I would have spoken to the manager is this case. This is unacceptable.
He may not have cared, like most Disney management, but I enjoy annoying them after something like this happens. This kind of stuff used to happen a lot when the DDP included tip and of the few times I complained only the manager at Jiko actually cared. He actually gave us back our credits. The rest just thanked me for my input and walked away.

It really is important to complain immediately, if you don't it will never be fixed. Too many of us accept poor service and quality at Disney and do not complain. Too many of us defend Disney any time someone comes on here and complains. This is why they ignore us and the quality has dropped. If things were this bad and 4 or 5 people complained that night the manager may realize they need to make some changes.

50's Primetime (Lunch) Fried Chicken, all white meat plate
Kona Cafe (Dinner) Teriyaki steak

At LTT lunch, there's an entree salad (with apples and walnuts, I forget the name) that I love. Goes great with ooey gooey toffee cake for dessert. Primetime lunch, I'm eating there next week. I'll let you know what I get.

We also had less than stellar service at Kona dinner. I wouldn't say terrible, but definitely the worst of the week out of the 5 table service places we tried. We waited 30 min. past our ADR time to be seated, while we could clearly see that the place was half-empty. It was another 20 minutes from time our drinks arrived before our appetizer did, and 30 minutes from the time the server took our card until he came back with the receipt (which always makes me a little nervous! Thankfully we were charging that meal to the room so there was only our KTTW card in there).

And I didn't even know that Kona gave you bread until we were eating our desserts and noticed other tables had gotten bread...I asked our server if it was something you had to order and I just missed seeing it on the menu? He said "Oh, no, it's free but we ran out of bread, so we've been serving O'hana's bread instead. I can get you some if you want." Well, first I don't really care whose bread it is, but either way you skipped us and didn't realize it for 45 minutes? And second, no, I don't really want it now that I'm almost done with dessert, but it would have been nice to have during that long stretch before our appetizer appeared!

Dishes that we enjoyed:
--THE STICKY WINGS...OMG so good. Best thing we ate on property besides Le Cellier's filet. If I ever go back I will just get one of these as my entree, LOL!
--The Lapu Lapu and the Island Sunset drinks...yum.

Dishes that we would skip in the future:
--the almond/coconut chicken...it was very bland
--shrimp and scallops...again, bland.
--kona kone...probably great for kids; my DH got it because they were baking the cones fresh when we got there, which smelled fantastic, but it wasn't anything better than the ice cream on main street in the MK
--chocolate fondue...the fruit was fresh and tasty, but the chocolate tasted like thinned-out Hershey's syrup in a bowl. And it was cold! What sort of fondue is cold?

At 50's Prime Time Cafe, we love the fried chicken. It seems like we got chicken pot pie there one time and liked it, too. My DH and sons LOVE their milk shakes. They say they are a must have!
