This was our second time on the Dining Plan and we took some chances to located new "must do" restaurants. Our results were:
Chef Mickeys - AWESOME!! Will now become a tradition for each trip especially if we have the grandsons with us. Attentive staff and superior character interaction for everyone including the adults.
Maya - Disappointment!! Seated by the kitchen door in an area with no view and a snotty and unorganized server. Our seating we suspect was because we had our 5 year old grandson with us. This area of the dining room was tacky and in need of refurbishment. We had to beg for drinks and when we asked to view the dessert menu our snotty waiter just sneered and said there was not one available.
Pepper Market - YUK!! I had the Wok special which tasted as though it had been sitting for hours and was actually slimey. The wife had hot wings which were cooked fresh after 30 minute wait and hot does not even begin to describe the level of heat in the coating - perhaps searing would be a better word.
Royal Table - Totally attentive staff and characters. Preplated breakfast was actually tasty. The wife and I received two etched champagne flutes for our anniversary celebration - very nice glassware! Will return with younger grandson during his trip with Lola and Poppa.
Liberty Tree Tavern Dinner - A realatively quiet dinner which was tasty and plentiful. The character interaction was superior as was the wait staff. Will return.
Cape May Clambake - did not live up to our expectations. Too few food choices. Nice one time adventure - will not return.
Our list of "must do" repeat restaraunts that we visited this time and their ratings were:
Plaza in MK - A continued favorite
ABC Commissary - Not again
Coral Reef - A top notch favorite again - specially printed menus for our anniversary and free glow drink for the grandson. An especially nice and attentive wait staff.
Sunshine - Adequate but nothing special for us.
Rose and Crown - An anglophile favorite continued to please.
Crystal Palace - Can't visit MK without beginning with breakfast shared with Pooh and the Gang.
Harbour House - A quiet upstairs table with fish and chicken was a welcomed haven once again.
Tusker House - just food - can't wait for the new table service being built. We usually spend two hours at Rainforest because we like the food, but skipped this trip.
Frozen Lemonade - A life saver in the record December heat for our grandson and his Poppa.
'Ohana - what can I say - plentiful and excellent food with good service plus
fireworks!!
Grand Floridian Tea Lounge - a tradition for the wife and a life changing event for a five year old boy. He was totally taken by the special chocolate tea poured through the silver strainer into his own china cup like his Lala's!
Pucks - WILL NEVER RETURN!! What a crappy attitude among the whole staff when they learn you are on the plan. And don't even think about bringing a child into their space. We and three other families were treated very shabby, waiting on food for over thirty minutes, no drink refills, and for me a 36 dollar slab of fat and grissel that must have been specially bred in a third world country. I complained and was offered a salad! NOT! You will not charge me for my child's meal and give me a free dessert! Two couples sat for thirty minutes watching the four families being mistreated and were not even offered drinks - they left in a huff.
Pop Century Food Court - lived up to our expectations as always.
Hope this helps you make some ADR decisions.
