Default Any MUST-DO Restaurants for an Anniversary?

Hi, we will be celebrating a milestone anniversary in a few weeks upon arriving to Disney. Has anyone had a really special experience at any of the Disney restaurants that we should include in our week-long anniversary celebration? Thanks 4 any advice!

We also love California grill. We've also been lucky enough to get a patio table at Rose & Crown for Illuminations on our anniversary a few years back. Very Nice.

There are a number of very nice, romantic evenings we have enjoyed dining at Disney. I agree with California Grill. We also really enjoyed Narcoossee's at GF. And although it's not discussed here much, we had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Todd English Bluezoo at the Dolphin Resort. Have a great trip, and Happy Anniversary!

We've enjoyed anniversary dinners at California Grill and at Citrico's. For a really special occasion, consider Victoria & Albert's.

It's not "Disney", but Todd English's BlueZoo at the Dolphin is my FAVORITE restaurant on WDW property. It makes for a great date night and the food/service is top notch and quite an experience!

If you're on a budget like we would be, and you can't or won't spend the money on Cali Grill or V&As, try some of the great places at Epcot: Le Cellier, Corral Reef, Chefs de France. Also, Mama's Melrose at DHS has a nice romantic feel. Have a great time!

Another vote for California Grill. It's not very quiet, or romantic, but the food is great and we love watching Wishes from the balcony after dinner.

We celebrated our 10 year anniversary with date night at Yachtman Steakhouse and that was also a great meal. It was very quiet, and more romantic than Cali Grill. We strolled the Epcot loop after dinner and walked the beach.

California Grill and Narcoossee's are two of our favorites. I would add Bistro de Paris, but I think it's down for refurbishment. Any of the Signature dining places, or Victoria and Albert's, are good bets, with the exception of Yachtsman's Steakhouse for me. I didn't find that one to be nearly as good as the others, and the atmosphere for us was not romantic at all. Personal preferences, I guess.

We're not sushi fans, so we won't go back to the Cali grill. I know, we're the only people who don't like it. We do like Narcoossees and Citricos. We were disappointed with Yachtsmans. We also like Jiko and Artist's Point for a special occasion.

I doubt you're the only people who don't like it! It's a personal preference. I'm not sure I understand, however, that you won't go back because you don't like sushi. I've never had sushi at CG, but enjoy the food there a lot. There are many non-sushi options.

Artist Point is a great location for a special night.

PlutoPlanet, don't despair. My wife and I aren't fans of the California Grill either. We've had some really nice anniversary dinners at Jiko in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Love the pistachio creme brulee! For a different, spicy kind of cuisine, you might also consider Sanaa, another restaurant at AKL.
