Still debating that last WS meal....
I always wanted to do R&C but mom doens't want to, says we can get fish n chips at the quick service. Well, is there anything else there outstanding?

Coral Reef looks fascinating (decor wise), but gets bad reviews, plus mom is allergic to shrimp and crab so we are limited with seafood.

We could both live with La Hacienda, but we eat Mexican all the time and I want something different on vacation. Is there something special about this restaurant?

Tokyo Dining-I love Japenese mom isn't really thrilled about it but says she could eat tempura if she had to, so is this really outstanding and worth it?

We've been debating for months now and in a little more than 2 months I'll be making our ADRs...I am a planner and do not like having all my ducks in a row Yes OCD I know

I picked Rose and Crown. That is the only place I have eaten in recent history and it is not just fish and chips. I have eaten the Bangers and Mash and my DW has eaten the Shepherd's pie. We really enjoyed it.

I picked Coral Reef because the one time we ate there we had a fantastic meal. I ordered a steak which ended up being the best dish on our table. It was very, very good. Everything else was great too but the steak was the stand out dish.

We tried Tokyo Dining once. DH was the only one that liked his meal. The rest of us were less than satisfied and we'll probably not eat there again.

Rose and Crown was good, but nothing special in my opinion. The highlight of our meal was being seated outside with a great view of Illuminations. We had a really great waitress too. The food was good, not great.

Haven't tried La Hacienda yet so I can't comment on that one.

Thanks for the comments....

I really like Tokyo Dining, especially if you get a table overlooking World Showcase. The tempura is really good, so maybe Mom can just deal with it? (Sorry). Your other choices are all also good ones, though. Rose and Crown is so much more than fish and chips, too, so I still think you would enjoy it. If you really want to go, I think you could show your mother the menu and try to talk her into it?

I would do Germany

I voted for Tokyo Dining. It is one of our favorites and they have a variety of items. Another one that is not on your list is Chef De France. We ate there in August and it was one of our best meals.

I agree with Disney 4 Us, Chef De France.
Otherwise, Rose and Crown or Teppan Edo or Tokyo Dining.

We've done Germany and it was fun, but we want something different

I want to really bad, but she's so picky. If it were all up to me we'd be at R&C from the beginning. She keeps talking me out of it, I don't even think she looked at the menu, she just thinks she would order fish n chips anyway and it would be a waste of a TS for her...that's why I asked for comments I'm hoping for some endorsements on other dishes but if that doesn't happen I'll go with the high score anyway I'm tired of trying to decide. I'm giving it two weeks and it will be done I know I'm planning to death but this is my dream trip, my first adult trip tailored for me and mom instead of my son and I probably won't get another one like this so I want to be happy but that means we both need to be happy with the choices

I voted La Hacienda.

DH and I ate there for the first time this past December, and we were blown away by just how good it was!

I had the best margarita ever... the Rosita! Amazing! DH had the Mango Blueberry Basil margarita.... also amazing!! We each had 2!!

Even the chips and salsa they served before the meal were excellent. There were two salsas to try (mild and hot), and we demolished both.

We got an appetizer, although we were regretting that after we couldn't begin to finish our main course! It was the Queso Fundido - Melted Cheese with poblano peppers, chorizo and flour tortillas. It was ALL cheese, and soooooo yummy!!!

The food and service were both fantastic. We got the Parrillada - Del Mar. It serves 2 people, and has a mixed grill offering of mahi mahi, shrimp, scallops and vegetables. It also had beans, tortillas, fresh salsa, sour cream and some other delicious cream sauce. The scallops were huge and perfectly seared. The shrimp were also huge and plump, and the mahi was fantastic!

They didn't take our TiW card, but we didn't care by the end of the meal. We were so thrilled with everything, that it was worth the cost!

Rose and Crown during Illuminations on the patio!

sounds good

Really surprised so far how the poll is going

I picked my third choice Rose and Crown.

If your mom has a shellfish allergy i would stay away from Tokyo (my 1st choice) and Reef (my 2nd). We had a great meal at reef last time I was there. I eat at Tokyo every trip because I love sushi.

I have a food allergy and I have always been more comfortable going places that i know i will not be taking a risk. I guess you could insure the vege tempura is fried in a different vat than the shrimp but if you are like me you would spend an hour worring about it until you were certain you were ok.

There is more to R&C than fish and chips. Also to sit by the water is very nice. (There are also car bombs and black and tans but that’s a different crowd )

I had just about ruled out Coral Reef, I hadn't really thought about Tokyo Dining but I guess they do have a lot of seafood. Normally, Disney does good with the allergies so I'm not so worried about that but it might give her less to choose from so that's something to think about I guess

[buzznwoodysmom]

We have two with seafood allergies in our party (DH and DS) and we had no issues at either Coral Reef or Tokyo Dining.

I am surprised at the outcome of the poll so far too. Tokyo Dining may have been my least favorite WS restaurant of all. Can't believe so many would vote for it. I much prefer Teppan Edo, which is in the same building.

And to add a bit to your mom's concerns about Rose and Crown. While we had a decent meal, I did kind of feel it was a wasted TS credit when comparing it to other WS restaurants. However, since we wish to one day have tried all the WS restaurants we didn't mind this too much. But I can see your mom's concerns. And by the way only my nephew ordered Fish N Chips, the rest of our party ordered a variety of items from the menu, so there is definitely more than just Fish N Chips.

of the available choices I went with Rose and Crown for the overall enjoyablity and value of the meal....not a big fan Disney Mexican (way overpriced) or the Coral Reef...and havent done Tokyo. We've eaten at Rose and Crown a couple of itmes and enjoyed our food and dining expeirence (thou it can be a bit on the loud side depending upon where you are seated).
