We ate at California Grill for the first time last year, and it definitely found a place on our must-do list! The food, atmosphere and service were just impeccable.
Our other favorite places are lunch at Sci-Fi Dine-In and breakfast at 1900 Park Fare - we've been going every time since my first trip to Disney in the fourth grade, and you can't beat the nostalgia!
We almost always do Crystal Palace. It's just such a nice break from the parks to get off our feet and have a nice meal with many selections.
I also would put the 50sPTC on the list. Way back in 1991 on our first trip we could only really afford one TS and we read the guidebook and decided it sounded fun and affordable. We had a great time and tend to go back everytime since. Maybe more for the nostalgia factor, not only the intended one but the one for our family.
Happy times, full tummies and wishes come true on your trips, all!
Dinner at Boma... hands down, didn't even have to think about it! In fact, it's our favorite restaurant anywhere (followed by Garlic Mike's, between Gunnison and Crested Butte, CO).
Runners-up at WDW include Kona Cafe and Crystal Palace (tied). Honorable mentions go to Mama Melrose and Chefs de France.
DD is holding out for Beaches and Cream, but I really think of that as counter service, regardless of what the dining plan says!!
Picking only one is not fair, I have to seperate them by 1Ts and Signature.
For the 1TS it would be Ohana. I am my fathers son and he is a carnivor and so am I.
For a signature it has to be Narcoossee's; we never miss this restaurant when we are back home. I can't wait for Aug. 1st for our 8:15 ADR. I can already picture the surf & turf, the Electric Pagent, and fireworks and watching this from an incredible view.
Well, we are one of those families that have more than one must do's each trip, but for our just one must do to answer your question, it would have to be Breakfast at Akershus in Epcot. We LOVE the food (especially the cheesy potatoes), atmosphere, character interaction, the service, and the whole ambiance. Ever since the first time we ate there back in 2007, it has become a family tradition for us.
