What restaurants do you regret eating at?

[DVCconvert]

T-Rex......they offered a blacken salmon at one point...it wasn't merely blackened....it was incinerated!!!

The Plaza was the only place that still stands out as a big negative. There were places we didn't enjoy, like LTT for dinner and Tony's but The Plaza was just terrible and our server was incredibly disrespectful of our time.

Cape may cafe clambake...not good!

Only time we were truly disappointed was going to Coral Reef two years ago.

Everywhere else we've eaten at WDW has either met or exceeded expectations. CR was such a letdown in service (sloooow), food (meh), and atmosphere (shoved in back corner farthest away from tank after 45+ wait past ADR).

 

[ChrissyClark]

Another vote for Tony's. It was, by far, the worst meal I've ever had at WDW in my 12+ trips. Bland, cold food...very unfriendly waiter who looked at us like we were dirt...terrible right down to being seated darn near on top of an air-conditioning vent. I was shivering 5 minutes into the meal. I've never wanted to get out of a restaurant so badly in all my life.

Chefs de France was our worst experience ever. Took forever to eat there (nearly three hours for dinner), the food was awful and the service was the worst I have had anywhere. Maybe it was part of the theme since service in Europe is not as quick as we Americans like it to be, however, I was not impressed with any aspect of the meal.

Chef Mickey's is another one that I would not go back to. There were birds in the dining area and the food was aweful even by buffet standards.

Narcoossee's was the biggest disappointment as far as quality for the cost is concerned. I was tempted to enter the kitchen and show them the correct way to cook a scallop. They were terrible. The lobster wasn't great and the waiter came over and gave the kids some of the glowing ice cubes that would normally come in an alcoholic specialty drink to put in their sprites and then charged us six dollars for them. I didn't ask for them nor did I care if we had them and then he got upset when I told him that I didn't want them.

The BEST dining of all time is Artist Point (ate there twice on the last trip and they treat you great on special occasions with comp champagne, personalized menus and great service).

Just the one- Sci-Fi Cafe.... barely edible food. The highlight was the very nice waiter and the milkshake. Other than those two things it was worthless. I had to get QS soon after since neither kid ate more than a couple of bites.

Just got back and answer is the Wave! Restaurant felt dirty- service was only so so- and altho the menu sounded good- nothing was that delicious or well done.

 

[DisDr.]

Coral Reef. Slow service, small portions, nothing special as far as the food goes. We had reservation for 13...they split our party into 2 table about 20ft apart.

We felt the same way in December!

1900 Park Fare for dinner. The character intervention was fine, the strawberry soup was great, but the remainder left something to be desired! Glad I was on the dining plan and didn't have to pay for this oop.

p.s. I think a lot of us really need a character intervention.......so perhaps you're right on the money there! LOL

 

[want2bamommy]

Don't change any reservations! Everyone's taste is different and a bad server can be just someone having an off night.

I agree with this. Everyone is different. Hubby and I sometimes have differing opinions about restaurants too (in the World or outside of it). It reminds me of the movies....one person loves a movie and another thinks it was horrible.

Worst = Chefs de France

Did not enjoy Mama Melrose's; we've been there twice but will not go back.

Chef Mickey's. I don't even remember the food because it was such an absolute zoo - it was not a fun or pleasant experience.

 

[BDL]

I am 0 for 2 at the MGM restaurants.

I was not impressed with Mama Melrose. A very limited menu and the quality vs. the wait was not worth it (I waited 45min even with an ADR)

And the Sci-Fi has made me, literally, sick the 2 times that I ate there. The 1st time was about 12 yrs ago and then again 4 years later. I was hoping that the 1st time was just a bad day. But no... Par for the course.

 

[Belleofthehouse]

1900 Park Fare for Breakfast. The environment turned us off right from the start. The food was okay but nothing fabulous.

This one is on our "not going back" list.

Biergarten. Yuck Yuck Yuck

We don't regret eating at Le Cellier on our last trip, just regret that I didn't complain to a manager. The last 2 times we had eaten there, we had a fabulous meal. The last time, not so much. It doesn't live up to the hype anymore. Our waiter was rude and talked down to us. DH ordered a beer he had never heard of before and he got like a 10 minute recitation about the beer. Ok, great, just bring me the beer! We were horribly rushed, in and out in about 45 minutes, we ordered the soup and literally 2 seconds after putting our spoons down from finishing, our entrees were out. DH said the filet was good but I ordered prime rib medium rare. It came out raw. I had to fight with our waiter to take it back. He tried to explain to me what medium rare was and I said to him, I've been eating my meat medium rare almost my entire life and I know the difference between that and raw! He should have just apologized and took it back, which he finally did. But by that time, my experience was less than stellar. We didn't even order dessert. We were paying out of pocket and the over $100 tab we paid was just insane for 2 drinks, 2 apps and 2 entrees. Never again. I just wish I had the guts to complain to a manager.

 

[DisneyaholicRaquel]

Marakesh in Morroco. Just wasn't what we thought. It could have just been what we ordered, but the food was bland, mine looked green,

I totally agree....also we thought it smelled strange in the building.

 

[IndianSummer]

Agreeing with those who disliked Coral Reef. I was expecting to be wowed and the food was bland. The service was slow and the server flustered even though it didn't appear to be very busy. The dessert was nice though. Oh and my kids didn't like the kids menu choices.

And while *I* really enjoyed the food at Wolfgang Puck's at DTD, my kids had a hard time finding anything kid friendly on the kids menu. Maybe a place to go without the kids or with adventurous kids anyway.

CRT, imo was overrated and over priced for what it is. For my money (ie: table service credit), I would rather go to Akershus, get the same character interactions and a photo package for a single credit.

The food at CRT was not bad, but it wasn't exceptional either.

What really set the tone was the ridiculous wait to get in. We arrived approx 10 mins before our seating time, waited in line to get in at least 20 minutes, then waited in line to get our photo for approx 10 minutes. After the photo was taken, we waited over 30 minutes to be brought to the tables. That is FIFTY minutes past our ADR time! I do understand that you might have to wait a few minutes, maybe even 10-15 minutes past your ADR time for a table to be available, but there is absolutely no reason to wait almost an hour. I complained to a CM whose attitude was basically "tough," so I requested to speak to her supervisor. The supervisor did apologize for the wait at least and apologized for the other cm's rudeness toward us, and then brought us to be seated a few minutes later (FINALLY!!).

Another low point was that Ariel never came to our table..she interacted with all of the tables near us, but then sailed right past us never to return.

I would possibly try CRT again, just because my dd is very into princesses, but I would not keep my hopes high for a positive experience, sadly.
