Just returned from a lovely 7 night trip - stayed at the Poly. I thought I'd give my dining reviews. I'll skip counter service - who cares about counter service, right?
I'll rate from 1-5 with 5 being the best rating.
Concourse Steakhouse - 5 - Surprised that this little place got a 5? So were we but we had dinner here twice, breakfast once and lunch once. Obviously we liked it! They had this delicious salad called Summer Peach Salad. Yummy. Great prime rib. Delicious eggs benedict. And, it's affordable which makes it even better.
Kona Cafe - 4.5 - Excellent breakfast as usual. We all know Tonga Toast Rules. Lunch was good too - and excellent desserts.
Ohana Character Breakfast - 4.0 - Fantastic atmosphere - we were impressed. The food was pretty good...nothing to write home about but the atmosphere makes up for the lackluster food.
Love the view - we were looking right at the castle. Great music - they even played the old Tiki birds.
Maya Grille - 3.0 - Pretty good - they changed the menu. It's less Latin-influenced. Still pretty good and thank goodness they kept the best dessert which is Churros. Good margaritas.
All American BBQ - 1.5 - We weren't too happy with it. The food wasn't that great. But, then again I'm from NC and what they served AIN'T real BBQ. They did have hot dogs and who can mess up a hot dog, right? Not so great for two people without kids. It's very kid-oriented as far as the entertainment so if you have kids I think you'd be pleased with it. Food really really needs something...the best thing was the grilled corn and melted butter. Oh, and the beer.
Blue Zoo - 5 - OHMYGOSH! Absolutely delicious experience from the food, to the decor and the excellent service. Big portions and surprisingly not as expensive as one might think. We had a glass of wine each, one appetizer (a huge bowl of mussels), and our entres. Bill was only $93.00. Which is enough but we expected it to be over $100.
Beaches & Cream - 5 - best burger on property and the freshest bread around. Plus, a fun soda shop atmosphere. Love it!
Grand Floridian Cafe - 4 - We had breakfast here and it was delicious. A little on the pricey side. No surprise..
Kimonos - 5 - Excellent Sushi and a little fun Karaoke to boot!
I think that's it other than the fast food stuff that is what it is.
We spent a lot of time dining at close by places like Kona Cafe and Concourse Steakhouse. Close and affordable...plus delicious.
