ADR Help

[LarryBoy]

My twelve year old son and I are headed back to the world this summer, late July, for 5 nights and we have already picked three of our dinner spots (Sanaa, Sci-Fi Drive In, and Garden Grill), but we need a little help picking our last two. We are looking to try some new places or at least do some places we haven't been to in while. Some of the options we are considering are: Rose & Crown, The Coral Reef, Via Napoli, Tepan Edo (if that's the one where they cook on the table), Chefs de France, and The Plaza. I know, most of these are at Epcot. (See my earlier post.) Which two would you pick and why? I am also open to other suggestions. One thing to consider is that my son is autistic and we tend to steer away from the really noisy restaurants.

I've not been overly impressed with the food at Coral Reef, but the fish tank is amazing, and its definitely one of the "less stimulating" as far as noisy/crowded/sensory concerns go.

The food isn't terrible by any means...so don't rule it out based on that statement..it's not just anything special.

I've eaten at the Coral Reef and Tepan Edo.The food is good at both.The Coral Reef is quiet & relaxing with views of the big fish tank.lol If you've ever been to a Japanese Habachi Grill then you know what Tepan Edo will be like.Hope this helps. :mickey:

Via Napoli is good, but loud and busy.

Via Napoli is also bright and wide open and I don't find it disconcertingly loud but maybe on a busier day. Tokyo Dining might be a good option. It's quieter than Teppan Edo, with similar food but they don't cook right in front of you. I usually enjoy Chefs de France. If you want a quiet spot, the Rose & Crown dining room is usually pretty quiet and pleasant. Grand Floridian Cafe is a good one to consider, too.

We have been to both Coral Reef and Teppan Edo. My kids DD11 and DS8 both love Teppan Edo. WE have been going there since they were little. They both love how the chefs cook in front of you.
We went to Coral Reef on our last trip in May. We really enjoyed our meal and the service was excellent. But both my DH and I agreed it was definitely worth doing at least once but not a must do every trip for us. Hope that helps you some.

Of the ones in the list, we've eaten at Chefs de France and Via Napoli. We love Chefs de France. Great wine by the glass. Good beef, salmon and mac & cheese options. We like Via Napoli too. I only concern about Via Napoli is that it is like an excellent Italian restaurant you may have back home. Still, the food is very good, with a tilt toward brick oven pizza.

We made our ADRs and decided to go with The Plaza and Teppan Edo. We picked Plaza mainly because we wanted another night in the MK and we haven't been there in a really long time, I think he was an infant. I also like the prices at Plaza and I hear the Reuben is good. We picked Teppan Edo cause we've never been there and my son loves Japanese hibachi style dining. So that means we are eating at Sanaa, Sci-Fi, Garden Grill, The Plaza, and Teppan Edo. Of course with a breakfast at the Crystal Palace thrown in for tradition and probably lunch at Tony's on the first day, another tradition.

Teppen Edo is really good. Especially the scallops. I know this wasn't a choice on your list, but Tony's is a good place that gets a lot of bad press here. If you're from the New England, then you won't think Tony's is good. If you don't have access to authentic Italian food like the rest of the country, then you'll like this place.

We like Tony as much for the atmosphere and the view from the front porch. My son like plain, naked spaghetti so he's pretty easy to please. :sick: :blush:
