This is likely the best restaurant in Orlando. Its much more upscale than other Disney restaurants |

Yachtsman Steakhouse |
Our new favorite steak place, but just by a little bit. Much easier to get a reservation, and its included in the Dining Plan while Le Cellier has been dropped from the Dining Plan |

Le Cellier |
Outstanding steak! It was a memorable meal, and even the kids said it was one of the best. |

Teppan Edo |
Outstanding food and we had a terrific time. Japanese hibachi cooking, and we had the best chef ever. None of the other tables appeared to be having as much fun as we were having. |

Yak & Yetti |
Located in Animal Kingdom, this restaurant has very good food. Since Animal Kingdom often closes at 5pm, its usually easy to get reservations for 4:30pm – and its neat being the last people to leave the park. |

Tusker House |
Excellent food. They had a pork shoulder that was very good and the sweet and spicy mustard sauce was fantastic. This is a character dining location, so it was a bit loud, but the food was terrific |

Excellent quality. One word of caution – don’t over-order. We had a lot of food left over. |

Very good grilled food that they bring right to the table and serve off the skewers. The food is very good, and the bread pudding dessert is awesome. We were able to see the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the table, with the soundtrack playing in perfect timing with the fireworks. Excellent!! |

Polynesian Luau |
Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show. This show hasn’t changed much in the past 40 years. The food is okay, but not great. The entertainment is just so-so – with one exception. The fire twirler is awesome, and its worth doing this once just to see that act. Incredible. |

Main St restaurant is slightly upscale, and has good food, but not my favorite.

I was a bit disappointed in the food quality. I was expecting a flavorful Chinese experience and the food was actually a bit bland |

50’s Prime Time Cafe |
A fun time, but the food was pedestrian and institutional (meatloaf, fried chicken). The waitresses are fun – yelling at you for having you elbows on the table . The decor is 1950’s kitchen – including the counter and old style kitchen chairs. |

We haven’t been here in a while and I suspect we’ll be happier today than we were in 1997. |
