Which DVC Resort has your Favorite Restaurant?

[twinklebug]

My family and I must be 1 of 5 people who don't like Boma. We were so excited for it this past trip and it just wasn't what we'd hoped for.

I thought I was the only one who won't return to Boma. I didn't find there to be anything extraordinary about it.

Boma seems to be one of the places people will either love or hate. I dislike it, but to be fair, the one time the kids and I went might have just been off timing: our table location was bad (we had all the dirty dishes piled next to us), both kids weren't eating anything but drinks, and the one item I really looked forward to on the menu (falafel) was overcooked to the point that I could have used it as construction material. After that we decided that won't be going back for a very long time, if ever again.

Jiko looks intriguing though, as does Sanaa & even myra is great: is there another food court anywhere where you can find zebra domes?

Had to vote for AKV because of Jiko - the best. We really liked Boma as well. Seems like DH and I are the only two people in the world who don't like Sanaa. Loved the atmosphere but not the food - maybe it was an off day for them?? We were looking forward to the Naan bread but it wasn't even as good as I expected; Wegman's (grocery store in Northeast) has better.

Loved Artist Point but haven't been there in years - interesting that we haven't made a special trip to WL to eat there but there are so many great restaurants at WDW that it's hard to work them all in

AKV - Kidani or Jambo - some of the best restuarants on property (Jiko, Sanna and Boma).

That said, Napa Rose and Sonya's are two of the finest restaurants anywhere, and they are not on your poll.

OK, I may be totally dense, but I've never heard of either of those. Are they are Disneyland? Or am I missing great food somewhere at WDW?

Have to go with Olivia's in OKW. The main reasons are their Banana Bread French Toast, Crab Cakes and their Key Lime Tart.

Haven't been to Sonya's, but Napa Rose blew us away. It was great (yes, at Disneyland in the Grand Californian). It was as good - or better - than Disney World signatures pre-Dining plan.

For WDW, we like Jiko, Artists Point and Flying Fish. I think Jiko currently holds the edge. But honestly, Disney food in general, even signature, seldom manages to actually impress us. (Jiko did last time, I don't think any of our other choices did - California Grill, Artists Point, and Yachtman among them).

Turf Club

I voted AKV for Boma It's not as good as it once was, but it's still one of our all time favorite places on property.

As DVC-ers the resort we stay in is among our favorite eateries because we can whip up something in the room or bring something delicious in from off-property.

Napa Rose is the signature restaurant at the Grand Cal, and Sonya's is the signature at Vero.

Both restaurants are very good...

I have to give the edge to BLT although the restaurant, CG, is next door. My family has dined there a mere four times and the food has been consistently delicious and elegant. On our last trip we tried the Wave... great service and amazing food.

My runner up is AKL. One of my favorite fun meals ever was at Jiko.

 

[Princess&CowboyMommy]

Flying Fish - love, love, love it!

 

[dianeschlicht]

It was a tough choice between Jiko, Artist Point, and Turf Club, but since Turf club is less spendy, I went with SSR!

 

[Ron from Michigan]

Jiko and Sanaa at AKL.

 

[bobbiwoz]

You're right, it wasn't easy, but I went with the BCV because we love the Breakfast with characters there as well as the Clambake.

 

[BEASLYBOO]

SSR's Turf Club, it's reasonably priced for Disney and the food is very good! A close 2nd is Olivia's if only for sentimental reasons, we always eat there on arrival night. The food is good but the ambiance is somewhat lacking!

I voted AK for Boma but this was tough ! I like various restaurants for various reasons. Going to try Cali Grill for the first time in May and I have not tried the Turf Club but have repeatedly read good things about it. Even though I chose AK for Boma...I gave strong consideration to BC for Cape May Cafe for the dinner buffet as well as Chef Mickey at the Contemp for the festive nature (teen and college age kids still love it). The Wave is growing on me.....

Anyway.....tough decision !

 

[kwimbie]

Love the AK, with Jiko being my all-time fav. Plus Boma is one of the best buffets on site.

 

[Fatalbie]

Love the Turf Club!!. If feels as good as the food. The menu is limited but that may be what keeps the quality consistent, IMO.

Looking forward to trying a couple of different resort restaurants on our Sept. trip.

This was a tough one. I just love Jiko, California Grill, and Artist Point. I think that it was almost a tie between Jiko and California Grill. But Jiko finally won out. I think I like the food a tad bit better there. But the view of the fireworks from the outside viewing deck is very romantic. Hard to decide. But I voted for AKV.

That was an easy choice, Animal Kingdom for Boma. Breakfast or dinner it is my favorite.
