    That is probably a good reminder not to put something on the "never" list because of one bad experience! Perhaps the only thing it should come down to is if the menu has items I like, or not...and not whether I had bad service or poor food quality on one occasion years ago!

    Tony's - very quaint but he food is just blah. Once is enough.

    Side note - my parents were just there and ended up getting a patio seat as the parade was starting - they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

    Cape may we gave it a second chance and still horrible.besides the food not being that good the service was horrible both times and we waited forever to be seated.

    Mama Melrose is another that was one of our favorites we went to every trip but we will never go back there. Service was the worst in the park. Child next to our table literally got sick on the table and not only did we have to sit there the mother took the child away and the father had to sit there for 20 minuteswaiting for the check.

    Another vote for 9 dragons. One of the first times we went there is was wonderful. We re-visited it in Sept of last year and could hardly stomach it. Just bad.

    ABC Commissary was some of the most inedible food I've ever tried to eat.

    Le Cellier!

    Yes, I know I'm in the minority but I'm sticking to it. Our service was soooo bad, it was the absolute worst in all the World. My steak came to the table walking and talking and had to be sent back twice. By that time everyone else in our party were finishing their dinner. I was so ticked I used my 'charm' to get the entire meal comped to the tune of well over a few hundred bucks.

    Again, I know I'm in the minority, but we'll never go back!

    The Habachi Place in Japan. Small portions and way over priced.

    Chefs de France, in Paris Pavilion. I may be spoiled having been to paris many times, but this was just gross gross gross.

    Tony's - really cute but really worse than chef-boy-r-dee food - blech.

    Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner now that the characters are gone - it's just blah - mostly prepackaged food (like the stouffers mac & cheese and the turkey breast is the boneless kind that has that texture and is salty like the kind you get at the deli sliced) as well. Once in a while it is not so bad but it is not worth the chance.

    No apologies necessary!! When you said where it was, I'm sure most knew which one....It doesn't hurt matters when the ABC Commissary ends up on a lot of "Yech!!" lists too!! LOL

    Coral Reef! It's the worst! We've had two very bad experiences ( service and food) there and now just can't bring ourselves to waste that kind of money on a terrible experience. Especially when there are many GOOD dining options at Epcot!
    After my first trip (2003) I would have said the same thing, but we were noobies and I really didn't know the parks and restaurants at all (can you say No Research!!!)....We were in Epcot and starved after a long day and wanted a sit dow and relax meal...Walked into Coral Reef because it looked nice, tucked back there in the corner behind The Seas pavilion (pre-Nemo!!)....Should have known better when we saw the waiting area packed, but were told a 5 - 10 minute wait....Almost an hour later, we were seated in the center section - not high enough to see over everyone and not low enough to see under....We ordered, waited some more, and got meals that were, at best, blah.

    It took 5 or 6 trips to try it again, but we are GLAD that we did!!! Now, it is a must do TS meal for us on every trip!

    Just goes to show that you cannot make a lasting decision based on one disappointing visit.

    Kouzzina's - not that it was terrible...we loved the decor and location. And the service was alright. It just wasn't very good.

    Brown Derby - went for lunch OOP. My wife got the Cobb Salad. I don't even remember what I got. But I know that it was average, and we paid $100 for lunch. Sheesh!

    Kringla in Norway...we tried this two trips ago OOP. The sandwiches we got were soggy and the meat was slimy. We were afraid the meat was going to slither right off the table it was so slimy. There was also a lot of flour underneath the sandwich...almost like they were trying to sop up the sogginess. We ditched the sandwiches and ate somewhere else. Bleh!

    There are two restaurants that really stick out to me that we would never go back to.. #1 would be Tony's Town Square.. yuck! We are italians and we love our italian cuisine, but I will never forget eating there for the first time with my family and the nats that were flying all over the place and around our food.. the food was not good and my mom ended up getting so sick after that meal, she was stuck in the room the whole rest of the night and threw money at us to go play in the arcade or do something so we didnt have to be around her.. I felt so bad. So we will never eat there again.

    #2 would be Sci-fi... ate there twice and although our experience was nowhere near as bad as Tony's, the choices on the menu weren't great and the seating felt very tight. Wish they would play actual movies instead of a 10 minute loop that keeps repeating over and over. Not a fan.. 50's Prime Time is way better IMHO.
    Been there, Haven't done it all...GOING BACK!!!

    Next trip "Home" - September 3-10th 2016 at the Beach Club Resort! Giannas 1st trip to WDW!!!

    We don't like Sci Fi Drive In. I wanted to, and the concept is great, but it was very underwhelming as far as food goes. We never consider going back.

    I would be up for it. We've given Kona Cafe several (and still don't care for it). But I would have to go it alone, because there is no convincing my husband to venture there again. And, I'm all for giving places a second try and you can't always tell from one bad visit and all that but... Sometimes that first visit is so overwhelmingly bad that there is absolutely no going back. Such was our experience, for my husband anyway, at Coral Reef. It's irredeemable. And a shame, but that's what happens when all of it (food/service/management) goes wrong at once.

    LIberty tree, Sci Fi Drive In and 50s Prime Time. I have even given 50's 2 more chances and just can't stand it.

    Us too! That place is just nasty. We have given it two tries, and it's on the list now. Tony's too. That 'food' is just yucko!

    It's like a combination of Rainforest Cafe and an elemtary school cafeteria. Boring and loud. Never to return.
