"Best" is really subjective. I can say that my family's favorite DS restaurant (if we balance the uniqueness of the ambiance, quality of entertainment, value for the money, variety in the menu and execution of the food) is Raglan Road, which offers great Irish-influenced food and live Irish step-dancing entertainment in the evenings. (The Serious Steak and Bread 'n Butter pudding desserts are our favorites.) If you go, time your visit to take advantage of the show(s), and be sure to request a table with a good view of the entertainment -- unless you're looking for quiet conversation, in which case request a table as far from the entertainment as possible!

As said Best is subjective so I would base it on the type of cuisine you like. Here are some favorites:
Homecomin' - Southern
Paddlefish - Seafood
Raglan Road - Modern take on traditional Irish fare
Splitsville - Diner with a dash of Asian

Yes! Boathouse is amazing. They always have a ton of different oysters, the Cortez shrimp are amazing. Lobster roll! And for dessert, get the $40 one. It’s worth it.

As mentioned best is subjective...
But my favorites there are:
Homecoming - I've dreamed about their fried chicken and even made a special trip from Tampa area to Orlando just to get to DS to go there. The house hot sauce is also great. expensive at $12 to buy but if you like a hot sauce with some flavor, and a maybe 7 on a 10 scale heat level and not just spicy heat and vinegar, this is it.
Raglan Road - Fish and chips and bangers and mash are both yummy.
Boat house is on the list to try maybe this trip.

Raglan Road or Boathouse....
although I do love me some Big Bad Wolf Sausage Company for a carnivorous snack.

Really. We enjoyed our meal there.
Comparing it to his other locations it was night and day. I know the DS location is very different with the menu, but we were no impressed with half our orders...We did have some tasty items:
Crispy Popcorn Shrimp Tempura
signature tempura shrimp, spicy gochujang aioli
Spare Ribs where pretty tasty, but nothing compared to the version I've had at OYA in Boston/NYC
The pork eggs rolls where fine... Nothing special...
Peking Duck was a very average version
Mongolian Filet Mignon once again was fine... Nothing I can't get at Chinatown in Boston and much better
odd, its the best Asian food ive ever had

My friend Hockey89 has a very refined palate, so don't feel bad if he disagrees with you. I've had many fine meals at WDW, only to be told after the fact that I couldn't have enjoyed it cuz the place is CRAP.
Hope all is well and you had a nice Holiday season!
