My wife and I are (semi) local to WDW and used to go to the parks regularly when we were APs a few years ago.
During that time we also used to make trips to the hotels to dine at some of the signature restaurants as we really enjoyed the overall experience of strolling around the hotel grounds in addition to a very good meal.
But now, with the DDP being used so frequently, some restaurants being turned into character dining (Artist Point), and more hotels being added and with the parks being so busy, I was just curious if the remaining signature restaurants at the resorts have maintained their high quality or if they too have lost a little of what made them so good.
Specifically, I'm looking to treat my wife and I to a romantic dinner at Flying Fish, which we haven't been to since the interior change. While reading reviews on sites like TA and Yelp are useful, I'm really looking to locals or more regulars who have been continuing to go for years who can give some insight on how good FF is or isn't, and how the sig. restaurants at the resorts are in general these days.
I will say that back when we went to FF when it still had the boardwalk/carnival décor, we found the food to be not nearly as good as the other sig. restaurants at the time, but hopefully with the décor and menu change it more lives up to the sig. quality food-wise.
Would love to hear and appreciate any thoughts on this.
