Yachtsmen or Kouzzina?

[rlahansler]

For our trip in March I have two reservations the same nite for Yachtsmen and Kouzinna? I cannot decide which would be the better of the two? We are staying at Beach Club Villas so both are close. I listed my reservations below, would like some opinions, thanks.

Lunch @LeCellier
Breakfast @ Chrystal Palace
Dinner@ Teppon Edo
Dinner @ Mama Melrsose (Fantasmic Package)
Breakfast @ Tusker House
Dinner @ Tonys Town Square
Dinner @ Spirit of Aloha
Breakfast @ Cafe May Cafe
Dinner @ La Hacienda
Dinner @ California Grill

Do you prefer a traditional steakhouse? Or Greek food?

Yachtsman is also lots more expensive (2TS vs 1TS for Kouzzina.)

You already have Le Cellier booked, so I'd probably choose Kouzzina for the price and to have something different.


and for the rest of your ADRs:

Lunch @LeCellier good call. Lunch here is really good and you can save some $$ over the dinner prices.
Breakfast @ Chrystal Palace fun place with good food
Dinner@ Teppon Edo this is one of my top 5 favorites
Dinner @ Mama Melrsose (Fantasmic Package) this is another in the top 5
Breakfast @ Tusker House never been here, but I've heard good things
Dinner @ Tonys Town Square this is the only one that I'd be concerned about. The location is terrific, but the food/service reviews aren't great.
Dinner @ Spirit of Aloha haven't done this, but I'd love to
Breakfast @ Cafe May Cafe I've got this one booked again for our next trip. It's our favorite character breakfast
Dinner @ La Hacienda can't wait to try this one
Dinner @ California Grill I'm jealous!

Between Yachtsman and Kouzzina, i would choose Kouzzina. Yachtsman is just....boring to me, we've been several times and not overly impressed with the food, and the ambiance is so average.

We've only been to Kouzzina once, but enjoyed the food and we liked the ambiance better. More of a "high energy" feel to the place, and we prefer the open kitchen atmosphere so much more than the quiet, reserved themeing at yachtsman.

I think the food at Kouzzina is a little more interesting, yachtsman is just an average steakhouse kind of place. (and you're already going to le cellier)

All that being said, it's just our family's opinion, lots of people love yachtsman.

yachtsman is the better spot if you don't mind the extra $$. Steaks prepared exactly as you ask, good service and a very nice atmosphere.

I really enjoyed Yachtsman's! I've read some reviews where people said they'd gotten a bettter steak at Outback...I've been to Outback...my steak was lightyears beyond anything I've gotten there...maybe they were just there on a bad night.
Having said that, you're already dining at Le Cellier and Kouzzina has gotten awesome reviews - so I suggest you go there for the variety. We'll be trying it for the first time in Nov and I'm really looking forward to it!

As for the rest of your ADR's...it looks like a pretty tasty vacation to me! I personally don't go to Teppan Edo, but that's not because of anything lacking on their part - we just do alot of Hibachi at home.
I wasn't impressed with Tony's, but I wouldn't pan the place or refuse to go back. Spirit of Aloha is just a bit too hokey for me.
Seeing Tusker Breakfast and California Grill on your list makes me hungry! And we'll be trying LaHacienda next month as well - I've heard they're having some issues getting their act together, but I'm willing to give it a shot - have it timed to see Illuminations.....

Hands down YATCHSMAN!!!

DH and I ate at both for our honeymoon and hated Kouzinna's. We enjoy Greek food but Kouzinna's was down right bland!

YM is amazing!

Another vote for Yachtsman - it's a must do every vacation - it's even my DDs favorite!

Kouzzina all the way - especially since you already have an ADR for Le Cellier. The food is really good - its one we always try to eat at if we can. The appetizer sampler is really yummy (I'd get the chicken skewer), my friend loves the steak there, and my mom loves the greek salad with the giant slice of feta cheese on it. We've tried most of the things off the menu now and they're all pretty yummy.
