I am trying to plan out our table services for our trip...

(We are going without kids)

Can you please post your favorites for each of the parks, resorts and Downtown Disney, whichever ones are your favorites?

Thanks for your help!

Good question and a change of pace from what's been discussed here as of late.

MK-Crystal Palace offers a nice buffet. I've only been for dinner, but they have a nice selection. It's a character buffet, featuring Pooh and friends. We were four adults and loved it. I also like Tony's Town Square. It gets a bad rap, but we had an enjoyable lunch there.

Epcot-LeCellier!!! It is difficult to get ADRs here, it seems. I didn't have a problem though, since I booked five months out. Great steak, cooked to perfection, though the pork is excellent as well. I'm also a fan of the San Angel Inn, if you like Mexican food. Excellent margaritas!

MGM-'50s Primetime Cafe is a great place to have a fun meal. It's very much like home cooking. I'd suggest going during lunch since they have excellent pot pie, but it isn't served at dinner. Their meatloaf and pot roast are great as well.

Resorts-We love both Citricos (GF) and California Grill (CR) equally. Both are Signature restaurants, requiring two TS credits, but they are well worth it. Citricos has a pork tenderloin that is just perfect. And California Grill offers an excellent view of the fireworks at MK. Spoodles at the Boardwalk is fantastic as well. Their flatbreads are awesome, as is their Portuguese Stew. However, I've noticed that it isn't on the menu anymore, but that might be seasonal.
 
Their are so many great choices hard to get started;)
;)

I have to agree Le Celier is one of our favs
also Mitsokushi in Japan is good
If you like fish and chips then you have to go to the Rose $ Crown
The Living Seas has wonderful seafood and a great view while you eat

Crystal Palace is good for breakfast (never been any other time)
Not a fan of Cinderella's Castle... food is OK

The Brown derby is awesome (but takes 2ts credits)

The yachtsman Steakhouse in the beachclub is one of the best steaks you will ever have
The Flying Fish in Boardwalk great open grill
Narcoosees in GF is great the appetizers are some of the best
ohana's in poly is good for breakfast (never been any other time)

Wolfgang Puck's is great upstairs or down

Outside Disney Try the all you can eat lobster buffet at Angels on 192 at the Holiday Inn resort

I could go on forever but these are a few of our favorite things(restaurants:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: )
 
Epcot: Le Cellier is wonderful (We love the Cheddar Cheese Soup), when my family went last June they were very disappointed with the Teppanyaki Dining room, but enjoyed Restaurant Marrakesh. The Living Seas is also a place we like--the Chocalate Wave is delicious. :)
MGM: We make it a point to go to the Brown Derby every year--it's my dad's all-time favorite and the only one requests
MK: Liberty Tree is a nice choice, we've never tried Tonys--and if you want a character meal, we like Crystal Palace over Cinderella.
Resorts: California Grill has a view that can't be beat, and Boma, while it is a buffet and less expensive than Jiko, we think it's better. (Mmmmm, zebra cakes)
 

:)


Chef Mickey's at Contemporary
Sci-Fi in DMGM
Coral Reef in Epcot
 
Epcot: Le Cellier & Coral Reef

Magic Kingdom: Crystal Palace for a buffet/character dining. I also like Liberty Tree for lunch -- the crab cake appetizer is really really good :)

MGM: I don't have a favorite, we usually eat elsewhere on MGM days

We try to visit Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge on the days we vist AK, because the whole family loves it -- zebra domes rock :thumbsup2 The desserts are my favorites anywhere, and the non-dessert items are good too. I am also a fan of breakfast at Boma as well as dinner :)
 
I like Chefs de France in EPCOT. And even though you aren't traveling with kids I would do at least one character meal. One of my favorites is dinner at LTT:goodvibes


Terri
 
The Hollywood Brown Derby
Kona Cafe
'Ohana
Boma (both breakfast and dinner are fantastic)
Cinderella's Gala Feast at 1900 Park Fare
Teppanyaki (the food is good, but not GREAT, it's the entertainment factor that makes this place good - we had a really funny chef)
 
Boma is our favorite restaurant in the World. We also love Le Cellier, and although the service has seemed more rushed lately, the food is still delicious. Coral Reef is a fun place to go :thumbsup2 If you're interested in signature restaurants, Citrico's is GREAT!
 
We loved Raglan Road in Downtown Disney.

Chef Kevin Dundon has done an exceptional job with the upscale contemporary Irish menu.

We had the Paddy's Pork (sausage stuffed pork loin) with concannon and Kevin's Heavenly Ham. Both dishes were some of the best food we've ever had anywhere (not just at Disney).

Their desserts are exceptional as well.

MK - There is no good TS meal (food quality only) at MK. I take the monorail over to one of the monorail resorts to eat a TS.

EPCOT - Japan, Norway, and France are all great quality food. Most TS at EPCOT World Showcase are good quality. Avoid Future World TS.

MGM - None.

Animal Kingdom - None. We travel over to Animal Kingdom Lodge for great food quality.

Downtown Disney - Raglan Road - best 1 TS credit restaurant at WDW! Even though Wolfgang Puck Express is a CS restaurant, it's food quality beats most TS restaurants at WDW.

My opinion......
 
Gone several times with and without kids but even so we still went back to the same old good spots:

Epcot - Le Cellier - awesome food, atmosphere, etc.

Epcot - Garden Grill - I don't know what it is about this place but in our 3 visits we always come back. Maybe its the character interaction or the abundance of food (although we never eat it all). Just all around great place to eat

MGM - Hollywood Brown Derby. Love the food here and the atmosphere

Boma - For breakfast only (for us). We didn't like the dinner here but really enjoyed the breakfast.
 
We really love:

Crystal Palace - either meal - granted if there's no kids the characters can make it feel busy - but good food for a buffet & (I think) best in MK

Biergarten - I know it's not fine dining but great food, great atmosphere....& a garden of beer - what could be better (this is courtesy of my dh)

Raglan Road - DTD - good food in a laid back restaurant

(now don't judge my culinary knowledge by this one...)
Trail's End in Fort Wilderness.....There's just something about the location - it's removed, it's country feeling - it's just a nice change of pace....stick to your ribs basic food

Boatright's....have never had bad service here - love the menu - nothing exotic again
 
Gotta start with 50's PTC, my favorite food in the World. Then on to Biergarten, then to R&C. Gotta finish up with HDDR, great all-american food with a terrific show.
 
These are my favorites, my family has their own.

Yachtsman Steakhouse
Kona Cafe
California Grill
Coral Reef
1900 Park Fare
Chef Mickey's

For food - Ohana's at the Poly was my favorite. The mix of sweet and spicy was perfect for my taste buds. My whole family was really happy I selected it as a place to eat.

Boma's at AKL is great for trying new/different foods.

For atmosphere - San Angels Inn in Epcot. Food is decent, but I really like the atmosphere. Reminds me of the Blue Bayou Restaurant in Disneyland.

Sci-Fi Theatre or Prime Time Cafe at MGM are also excellent for atmosphere/theme. Prime Time Cafe isn't for the easily embarrassed though. Your Auntie or Uncle "insert server name" will probably slap a little mermaid bib on the guy, ask everyone to clean their plates, get elbows off table, finish veggies before dessert, etc. Fun, but not everyone enjoys.

I haven't tried any 2 credit TS or dinner shows, but am going to try Jiko's during the upcoming trip.
 
As far as restaurants go, I would have to say our favorite is Narcoossee's. It was above and beyond any restaurant I've ever been to. Great food and great atmosphere. We also enjoyed the food at Kona as well.
 
Our favorites are:
MK- Liberty Tree Tavern
Epcot- Coral Reef, Le Cellier, Teppanyaki
MGM- Sci-fi Dine-in
 
Epcot
Le Cellier
Teppanyaki
Biergarten (Lunch)

Magic Kingdom
Crystal Palace (Breakfast)


Resorts
California Grill - Contemporary
Ohana & Kona - Polynesian
Jiko & Boma - AKL

Down Town Disney
Wolfgang Pucks
