Trying to pick a spot for dinner, leaning towards House of Blues.
 
We like to eat at Naples. They have a great patio area. The food is a bit pricey, but very good. It's also closest to the parks.
 
We LOVED Ralph Brennans. The Chocolate Souffle Bread Pudding was divine!
 

We always eat at Tortilla Joe's and Rainforest Cafe! They are the only two places we like. We've tried everything, except Catal, and those are the only ones we go back to!
 
I've only been to Rainforest Cafe. I honestly think it's overpriced since it's not actually in the park. The food is good, not amazing and the restaurant coolness varies on where you are seated.
 
We love Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen!!! We also enjoy the RFC, we normally get an appetizer to share and DBF and I share a full meal, we both enjoy the Maya's Combo quite a bit. :)
 
Napels - best pizza I have ever eaten. Pricey buy worth it.

Tortilla Jo's - Ice Cream Churro is to die for, the rest was just average.

Rain Forest Cafe - great for kids, but the menu is so overpriced and generic.

This is exactly what i was going to say. Their chocolate bread pudding is SO good! I don't even like bread pudding normally but this is really yummy and chocolatey!

The last time i was there I got an appetizer for my dinner (had to make room for that yummy dessert!) and I got the Filet Mignon Muffuletta which they describe as "julienne of filet mignon on baked rosemary ciabatta bread, with hothouse tomatoes, marinated olive salad and provolone cheese". It was actually fairly big for being an appetizer and it was very tasty and it was only $12!

Mmmm... that does sound good!

It's so funny how everyone has such different tastes! We thought the pizza at Naples was the worst pizza we've ever eaten. We thought it was the equivalent to a frozen pizza! There were 6 of us and we all felt that way.
 
Naples

ESPN Zone (if you want "grill type food")

Ralph Brennan's

Uva Bar, if the weather is nice.
 
We've only ever eaten at Jazz Kitchen Express in DTD, but we've been there a few times since it's so good! I guess we've eaten at Hagen Daaz, too, but...
 
We've eaten at:

ESPN - It was O.K., nothing really special. It was in 2009, so I'll try to remember what we had. I had a salad with bbq chicken, it was actually pretty good, but I remember having a hard time deciding what to choose, it all seemed a bit overpriced. DH had a philly cheese steak sandwich, and he was pretty disappointed. It's one of his favorite things to order when he goes out. We didn't get a very good tv view either, we were right by the kitchen.

Jazz Kitchen Express - I had the pulled pork and coleslaw, DH had a burger. I think mine was better :)

Rainforest Cafe - I know it's a chain restaurant etc. but we both LOVED :love: it here. We weren't in a really crazy area, so that was probably better for us. But we both loved our meals: something with shrimp and something with chicken (don't remember exactly). And they have good and strong mixed drinks. We went back one night and sat at the bar and had a drink too. MUCH cheaper than Uva bar!

Next trip I want to try Naples for pizza... unless I read some more BAD reviews!

ITA, except for RFC....

We eat at ESPN or Naples about twice a month. The pizza at Naples is woodfired, so it has a distinct taste. The mozzerella they use is to die for!

Jazz Kitchen is good, not great. UVA bar is delish, weather permitting. And Tortilla Joe's taqueria is also another favorite.

Wherever you eat, stop at the Jazz Kitchen express for beignets or bread pudding. :thumbsup2
