I need your valued opinion
We have a trip schedule for Mid August and on the dining plan, but that is not the issue.
We will be having dinner on our own one night and are having trouble deciding on the two resturants.
Whispering Canyon Cafe
or
House of Blues
This is a dinner for two adults and would like a more adult oriented dinner and entertainment.
Your thoughts please as ADR's need to be made soon.
Thanks

House of Blues might be fun. Whispering Canyon would probably be the last place I would go without kids. It's very family-oriented. I would actually choose a signature dining option like California Grill, but at least at House of Blues, you'll have a more adult atmosphere and some night life.

Thank for the opinion. We are already doing the Cali Grill that is why we have one night on us. Either one would be new to us.
I hate to say this but the grand kids will be with their parents at another restaurant. 
We need out time as well.

Whispring Canyon is not a good "date night/adult night option. It is very family oriented and can get quite NOISY! If you're at DTD, I would suggest Wolf Gang Puck Cafe...great food. I have never been to House of Blues but it gets good reviews. Enjoy your date night with your DH.

I would say House of Blues for sure. We went to their brunch and had a fantastic time. Its a very unique, non Disney feeling experience. WCC will be filled with kids, its wonderful there, but not for a date night.

If I were on a date night with my husband, I would not go to Whispering Canyon. Not really a date night kind of place...

I'd also go with HOB. WCC is good and it's fun, but probably not the entertainment you have in mind. And yes it's filled with kids. It's a fun place though and casual.

Thank you all for your response but I think I need to clarify something.
I am making these plans for my ex-wife and I.
Even though we are apart we still get along for the kids and grand kids, and yes I am footing the bill. 
I guess there are some things that Disney will always keep that happy place for everyone.
Everyone one on Intercot are the greatest. 
I guess if you havent figured it out I am the planner.

So maybe you don't need a romantic location, something more fun. But no matter the situation with adults, the response is still the same, I think. A no to WCC and a vote for something else. House of Blues would probably be fun. I also liked Raglan Road. If you decide on something at the Boardwalk or Downtown Disney, you have a lot of entertaining options that are more adult-oriented.

Hmmmmm - this is an interesting challenge. Although WCC is still fun without kids, there are definitely kids there and if you want a night sorta away from that, then I wouldn't go there. But if you don't mind a little noise and want to go b/c of the food or to visit the Wilderness Lodge, then by all means go! DH and i have eaten here several times without kids and even once with 6 very grownup adults.
I've never eaten dinner at House of Blues, but I've been in it. It's pretty cool. Something different.
A non-romantic but maybe less kid-oriented.... that's a tough one. Maybe Kona Cafe at the Polynesian. Or Boma if you are adventurous eaters but the rest are not? Rose & Crown or another WS location other than the romantic San Angel Inn? The Epcot restaurants somehow seem more adult even though they are very family welcoming.

Well that changes things ever so slightly. LOL! How wonderful you can get along for the children, very admirable.
I would have a different opinion based on where you would be coming from. If you are closer to WCC then I would go there. If you are closer to HOB I would go there. We really enjoy WCC and since this is not a date I wouldn't worry about the atmosphere so much. If you are dining later on at WCC you could always go out to the beach to see the Electircal Water Pageatn. If you are shoppers and would like to walk DTD than I would go there. Probably not much help but that is what I would do!

Go the HOB. The atmosphere is really fun and the food is very good. I've been there 3 times.
I just don't care for Whispering Canyon's food.
The atmosphere can also seem a tad hokey if you don't have kids with you.

House of Blues is great. Just one note: It's not on the dining plan.

I'd say House of Blues too. The food is great and I would classify it as a great date spot but for two friends looking to enjoy the night a more adult night it fits the bill. Great food and great music...

As pp said, house of blues is a better option. WCC is a great restaurant but not for a quiet adult dinner!

1) How nice of you to ask.
2) I have VERY valued opinions.
3) At least I think I do.
4) Let's see - for adult eateries at WDW
. . . California Grille (maybe) *
. . . Bistro de Paris (absolutely! positively!) **
. . . Shula's (absolutely!) **
. . . Citricos (yes)
. . . Artist Point (maybe) *
. . . Todd English Blue Zoo (yes) **
. . . House of Blues (OK)
* These get only a "maybe" because with DDP, people come that normally do not know how to act at finer restaurants. They and the kids act up or talk loudly or run around (kids). I steer away for those reasons.
** Not on DDP.
