Made revervations here for an upcoming trip. I see where its raved about many times but is it worth the price? I figure it will be a meal that will cost $140 with tip or so for 2. But what level is this place is it on a high end level such as Ruths, Del Frisco etc? Or is the price expanded on by Disney. Also no more lunch menu option.

Have never actually eaten there, but they had a stand for the food and wine festival this past October and I have to say the steak dish I got from them was melt in your mouth good.

It was Count Chocula's (RIP) favorite place at EPCOT if that carries any clout.

Ok that sounds good then. Guess I will keep the reservation. I know they are hard to get to begin with. I do see where some say Yachtsman is better but its a maze of events to get from Epcot to that resort then back to the resort we are staying at.

Did you eat there for lunch? They took away that option now everything is dinner prices which went up. 43 for filet. Sides are about 10 and soup that is raved about is now 9. Its def in the Ruths Chris price range now. Good to hear the food is good though thats what Im hoping to hear. I saw a review online that compared it to outback quality and that scared me.

I just ate there last week. The quality is not quite that of Ruth's but it's really good. Had the cheddar soup, which is a must at this place, filet and what they call Canadian Fries. These were excellent. They're basically cheese fries but with better toppings. Apparently they're a big deal in Canada. I highly recommend them.

It was the best meal we had at Disney. The restaurants inside the Polynesian were pretty decent. The worst for us by far was the 50's Prime Time Diner(?) in Hollywood Studios.

Another place to check out while you're there is Ohana in the Polynesian.......place is absolute money for dinner.

I have been to Ohana. I enjoyed it. But my wife was so so on it. She didnt like the massive amount of wasted food involved.

I didn't care for Ohana at all.

My favorites were...

California Grill (especially by the window during the firworks)
Victoria & Alberts
Citrico
Saana

Those would be fine but I will have a 1.5 year old in tow on top of the wife does not want to return to room to get all dressed up 2 times on one night (halloween event will be same night). Le Cellier being in one of the parks has typical resort wear as the dress.

Ohana used to be much better. We ate there also last week and it was good, just not great.

I'll throw in Brown Derby in MGM. We ate there for the 1st time last week and it was by far one of our favorite meals. Wife had the filet and I had the bison. Appetizer was andouille crusted shrimp. This place was just all around good.

The only one that really requires special dress is Victoria and Alberts. I would at least wear a polo shirt those days though. It's Disney. 90% of the people in those places will be dressed is typical park attire. You'll be fine.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. If you dine at fine dining restaurants in New Orleans I wouldn't expect to be blown away. We have a big trip to Disney planned this year and I'm not reserving anything for dinner. I've had my hopes high for a great meal before at Disney and I'm not going that route again.

Only two things we have booked are with Le Cellier and with Chef Mickey for the kiddo. We will be getting off a Disney cruise prior to that so not sure we will eat out other than quick stuff a whole lot anyways.

It's much better now. We used to think this way. This year was very enjoyable though. Of course you won't get the NOLA fine dining experience but you have to remember it's still a theme park. The counter service meals are actually very good though. If you don't want to spend a bunch that's a good route to go. We had the meal plan last week and it was just my wife and I so we made sure to have one good meal a day.

We're doing a week in the fall, staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and I don't think we're doing the dining plan this time. It's not to save money, it's just to stop from always planning around food. We'll eat when we're hungry and roll with what's close. So many plans with reservations and gotta be here or there at X time to do this blah blah blah. We'll see if it makes for a better experience.
