    Default If you could only pick one Signature restaurant?

    Hi all!

    We have finally booked our first adult only trip, and will be going to stay in POFQ for 10 nights in March. As there are only the two of us, we're not going to be on the DDP, and won't be booking many meals. In fact- only 2! We've agreed on Ohana for our last night, as we loved it so much last trip, and will pick one signature for our first full day there. The rest of the time we're planning on using quick service, dining off-site as we have a car, and if we are able to, see which Table Services are available that day- we have no 'must do's' on this trip as no children. This goes against all my instincts, as I normally plan every day and every meal, but I have been asked to just go with the flow this time!

    Anyway, if you could only dine in one signature what would it be? We'd like somewhere quite romantic, and obviously with decent food. I haven't eaten in any signatures yet, and we're willing to try anywhere!

    DW and I have had two trips (so far) by ourselves - you will enjoy WDW in a whole new way!

    Our favorite is the California Grill. Try for an ADR at 8:30 pm or 8:45 pm so you can see the fireworks at the MK.

    I like California Grill because of the views along with the food, but it's not really quiet unless you're in the wine room and then your views are on the Bay Lake side.

    Victoria and Albert's is expensive, but also more quiet and exclusive (no children under 10) and probably the best overall choice. If that is cost-prohibitive, I really like Citricos. Quieter, romantic, Mediterranean influenced food.

    Our family has only tried three Signature restaurants so far:

    -Le Cellier (still don't really think of this a as signature restaurant)

    -Citricos

    -California Grill

    Out of those I'd opt for California Grill for the view alone. We enjoyed our meals at all three restaurants and hope to try a couple more signature restaurants on our next trip.

    Sorry, I'm probably not going to be much help here; but my DH and I went last October on our first "us only" trip and just had the most wonderful time! We had NO plans going in...talk about different! It was just wonderful...so much so we are planning our 25th anniversary trip for next November!

    Having said that, we love Brown Derby and Le Cellier...but I would probably go with something we Haven't tied...California Grill, Jiko or Saana.

    Have fun..NOT planning
