Here is a link to pictures of all the wonerful food we had on our trip - it's sorted by restaurant, and I tried to include a description with each photo.

Best Meal - Jiko
Best Atmosphere - 50's Prime Time Cafe (for fun) V&A's (for ambiance)

Worst meal - Yachtsman Steakhouse
Most Disappointing Meal - Victoria & Albert's

Wow, you really had the opportunity to eat at some of the most fabulous restaurants in WDW! It was fun to see all of your pictures. I have never eaten at V&A before, and probably never will have the opportunity, but I am curious what about it you found disappointing? I am glad to hear that you enjoyed Jiko's, and hope our experience there will be positive during our upcoming May trip. Thanks for sharing!

We had reservations for V&A's on Valentines night.. our Victoria was wonderful, what we actually saw of her... but our Albert was on the snooty side, he acted like he was doing us a favor by waiting on us. There were people who arrived about 10 minutes after we did that left 45 minutes before we finished our meal. At one point, the two tables next to ours received two courses to our one course - in other words, we were waiting anywhere from 15-25 minutes between courses, with dirty plates in front of us, which IMHO is a bit excessive. We were there almost 4 hours... we were also probably the youngest couple in the restaurant, my husband was in a suit, and I wore a floor length skirt with a beaded top, so it's not as if we were not dressed to their specifications. The food was very good though, we just really had a problem with the service... when you pay $85 per person (not including the $42 wine pairings) you tend to expect the best in service..

I am so sorry to hear that your experience at V&A was disappointing. It is way too expensive for that.

Also curious about YSH. We ate there in December and had a great dinner. What was your experience?

Thanks for posting!

We had eaten there previously and both DH and I thought it was one of the best steaks we'd ever had.. we were both really looking forward to it, and found the steaks not nearly as good as the last time that we were there.. they were gristly, but cooked perfectly (granted I could make a meal on the bread and fresh roasted garlic ) They have changed chef's since the last time that we were there, so I don't know if it's coincidental or not - I'm not writing it off though.. I'd still like to give it another shot on our next trip

LOL All of them!

If I had to pick only a few... the cheesecake at Jiko was to DIE for and I really enjoyed the Smore's at 50's Prime Time, and the Chocolate Kona Souffle at V&A's

We did see some people in Beaches & Cream getting sundae's and those thigs were HUGE!

 

[Meagansmom]

Wow! I do not remember any restaurant reviews with pictures. This is great! Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting those pictures! Awesome! I had been wondering what the Smores looked like at 50's Primetime---now I know and I want them! And I loved looking at your "fun" pictures too. loved your Glamour don't....hilarious! I am always amazed to look at footwear choices at Disney...
