CR- Great ambiance, fun meal.
RR- Great place to relax and have a beer. I tried it for the first time last trip. Very happy with it.
MM-never tried it, probably will next time.
B- Also did it last trip. Really liked the food. Good choice, but I might skip it if I wasn't staying at POR or POFQ
CG- a must for me every trip, usually crowded, but a GREAT dining experience.

Only been to Mama Melrose's and Raglan Road and we LOVED both of them!

Raglan Road is a great Irish pub with very delicious food. It's a relaxed pub-style atmosphere....there's always been a soccer game on the tvs when we've been there!

Mama Melrose's holds a special place for us...we went there for the first time this past Christmas Eve and it was excellent! It made for a perfect night with the Osbourne lights. The food was excellent as well!

I think your ADR's sound GREAT!

9-5, Coral Reef -- Been there, LOVE it! :thumbsup:

9-6, Raglan Road - haven't been, have always wanted to go, have always heard good things.

9-7, Mama Melrose - another haven't been, but friends LOVE it, and I have to tell you to get the spaghetti & meatball cupcake b/c it looks amazing and I've heard it's awesome!

9-8, Boatwright's - yumm!

9-9, California Grill - another "haven't been", but we're finally going in August. Nothing but good things ever heard from there -- I hope it's a special meal for you guys!

Coral Reef: Like it! Great atmosphere.

Mama Melrose: Also haven't tried it, but it's on agenda for next trip.
Boatwright's: Love! Our favorite meal from our 2010 trip!
California Grill: Haven't tried it, but it's so highly regarded, I'm guessing you'll love it!

Raglan Road is the only place we've tried and I liked it very much...my mom was unimpressed with her Kevin's ham but my Its Not Bleeding Chowder was very good as was my son's steak......

California Grill is a great time. Its upscale though so you need to dress up and stuff.
I think the Coral Reef is fun! definately a good family place to take a break from the sun.
Mama Melrose wasn't my favorite place. I think whatever the spagetti and meatball cupcake is sounds good, but disney has amazing food everywhere!
I haven't tried the others but of the three i know i would say try california grill. it's a great disney experience:mickey:

I've been to all except Boatwrights. All of your choices are good. Enjoy California Grill. We enjoyed our meals there.

I've only tried Coral Reef & Mama Melrose

Coral Reef as mentioned has nice atmosphere/ambiance. I liked the food but my wife didn't so we haven't been back. I would recommend it though and say good choice.

Mama Melrose - We ate there for the first time in '99 & didn't like it at all. We finally decided to give it a second chance last year & enjoyed our meal. We weren't blown away but it was good enough to go back this upcoming trip.

Do you need more opinions?

Coral Reef - Been there once and was disappointed. Felt like we were rushed. We enjoyed the view. Is it wrong to eat seafood in front of the swimming fish??

Raglan Road - Been there twice. Enjoyed my food but I am in no hurry to return.

Mama Melrose - We seem to enjoy this resturant more than most. Eat here or the 50s Prime Time Cafe in DHS

Boatwright's - I had excellent Gumbo here. Now I am not from New Orleans so natives may have a different opinion but I loved my meal. If you are staying at POR (or POFQ) it is worth the ADR.

California Grill - We have never been here. Actually the menu does not really appeal to me but would love to go for drinks :marg: and the view some day.

We've only eaten at California Grill and Boatwright's. If you like prime rib, get it at Boatwright's, with the fresh horseradish. It was awesome. California Grill was about 6 years ago now (we'll be eating there again in November), but from what I remember, if you like sushi, you're in for a treat! My filet was great too, but the sushi for some reason sticks in my mind. The pieces were huge! Enjoy your trip :thumbsup:

We just came back and ate at Coral Reef. It was superb and we loved it. The atmosphere and staff were excellent.

We had the Rainbow Trout, NY Strip, Lobster Ravioli, Seared Chicken Breast and Leeks Potato soup. Everything was delicious.

Boatwrights is a hidden gem, we have really liked going there over the years. We even befriended a waitress there that we see every year.
