HELP WANTED: Flying Fish Cafe vs. Artist Point, which is better?

[jabead]

Please help determine the winner of Round II of my Signature Smackdown competition between Flying Fish Cafe and Artist Point. (See my ongoing Dining Review for further details.)

If you have only been to one of these restaurants and had a good experience then give that restaurant your vote. If the experience was not good, then vote for the other restaurant. And if you haven't been to either one then vote for the one you would most like to try.

Thanks for your help!

We have eaten at both and had good experiences at both. I think the food is a little better at FF, but the atmosphere is better at AP. I voted for FF.

thoughts exactly.

These may very well be my favorite restaurants at Disney. Like the wine list at AP more. Both get much less respect on the boards than they should, IMHO. With consistency over time, these two have shown to be better tan most.

Food is better at AP,it's quieter,there is more room between tables,the servers better knowledgeable about food,atmosphereis less rushed.
Like both but FF just doesn't add up.

Artist Point had maybe the best dish -- a side -- that I've ever had at WDW, the adult mac and cheese. Incredible. Overall, though, Flyish Fish has a much better rounded food quality. Between the two, AP is a maybe on our next trip. FF is an absolute MUST.

oooh, you picked my two favorite Signatures. Tough choice but I'd probably have to go with Flying Fish. I love their mussels, tomato mozzarella salad, or cheese plate for an appetizer, their char crusted steak or scallops for an entree, and whichever of their dessert trios they are offering that night for dessert. At Artist Point I love their mushroom soup or mussels for an appetizer and their buffalo for an entree (but wasn't happy when they changed the sides that came with the buffalo). Since they changed their berry cobbler a few years ago, I haven't been that fond of any of their desserts.

Thank you to everyone who has voted and commented so far. Anyone else like to add their vote/opinion?

We've never eaten at Flying Fish, but Artist Point was amazing .

 

[Ramsfan28]

I have eaten at both several times and never had a bad experience at either location. In fact, they both would make my top 5 places to get an ADR.

I do prefer AP a bit more, but really I am always happy at either locations.

 

[Uncleromulus]

Flying Fish is near the top of my "Disney operated" Signature restaurants.
Artist Point is near the bottom.
FF has excellent seafood and a good steak.. We always eat at the bar, or once in awhile at the Chefs counter. AP has neither option--and the menu has never held much appeal.

Only one day left to vote, so bumping this back up to Page 1.

Hi jabead,

For us it has to be Artist Point, last time we were there, November 2010 I had the grilled Buffalo, it just melted in my mouth.

The only draw back on that occasion was the air conditioning, it was on the cold side and my DW had to ask for a blanket. Has anyone else found it cold there?

Sorry I missed the last poll my internet was off for a week
Missed my disney fix and of course the food reviews!!

While I love the Boardwalk and the Flying Fish, I also love Artist Point. Completely different atmosphere and food.

 

[Ron from Michigan]

Flying Fish by a mile.

 

[OKW Lover]

Easy answer: neither is better. Both are very good dining experiences and you will be happy with which ever one you pick. We prefer AP for its very different menu (where else can you get buffalo?) and the wonderful theme-ing of WL.

Totally agree. Hard to believe their in a same Disney rating level, which makes you question the integrity of the signature designation..especially with LCC getting the designation on what appears to be ADR demand then the restaurant and it's offerings.

Wow these two are both in my top five but FF is my #1 overall. Never a bad meal or experience and we make this a MUST DO every trip. AP is very good and the food is great, it is a very quite experience. We love FF and hanging out on the Boardwalk afterwards or enjoying a nice stroll over to Epcot.

You really can't go wrong with either choice!
