Help with Epcot restaurant choice!!!!

[Mrs.Skellington]

We need a one credit Table Service restaurant in Epcot. I am not sure which would be the best one. Please give me some advice. It would be for a large party of 14 people with 4 kids. I want something everyone could enjoy! Thanks.

We are a group of 11 with 5 kids this August. The places we picked at EPCOT are Garden Grill, Via Napoli and Le Cellier. I hear Germany has a good restaurant, I'm just not an adventurous eater to want to try it

If it is lunch you are looking for then i would vote le cellier. i had a really great lunch there last trip. my steak was actually better than the one at the yachtsman.

 

[Mrs.Skellington]

We are open to Lunch or Dinner. We have alot of character meals planned for the kids including breakfast with the princesses at Norway. My first thought was Teppan Edo but, after lots of negative reviews, I am now rethinking it.
I would love to try Le Cellier. So maybe that is where we will go if I can get ressies.

 

[Mrs.Skellington]

Just looked at our schedule, there is no way we could do lunch there after breakfast at Chef Mickeys. Gonna have to be supper.

Mama Mia!

Well if there's 14 including kids,and supper,I would venture for Via Napoli for many reasons,kids love pizza,its a big restaurant,it's reasonable,good variety on menu,and illuminations to follow.:wave:

If everyone likes Japanese food, Teppan Edo is great!

Hands down, dinner at Rose & Crown Pub with an ADR right before IllumiNations so you can watch it while you eat. Such a memorable experience and the food was delicious! My hubby also loved the scotch flight.

 

[PolynesianPrincess]

I'd say lunch at Le Cellier as well but if you can only do dinner, I would recommend Via Napoli. The pizza there is GREAT!!

 

[onelivelygirl]

Biergarten! The kids would have a blast. The food is a bit different but usually everyone finds something they like. I was VERY hesitant on my first try but now it is one of my must do ADR's. The entertainment is great. The band plays and they invite the kids out onto the dance floor and there is lots of audience participation. I also find the CMs at Biergarten to be some of the most friendly that I have experienced.

If you are a bit timid to treat everyone to the "ethnic" food of Germany, try Via Napoli or Coral Reef. The food is better at Napoli but the atmosphere at CR is better for the kids.

Have a great trip!

Via Napoli for its menu and pizza. But don't let the reviews of Tepan Edo make your decision. More people write about the negatives than the positives, and this is true for Tepan Edo. I would suggest getting two tables in the hibachi room. The show is great, really entertaining for kids and adults. The food is your basic Japaneses steakhouse type, but done really well. Plus you can share with others in your group. While the other places mentioned are ok, this place kicks up the atmosphere while providing a good meal at the same time. Good luck and have fun!

 

[Mrs.Skellington]

Thank you everyone for your input. I think we are going to go with.......
Via Napoli. We will not have any pizza while we are there so that should be really good. I hear the service there is great and the pizza is amazing. I can't wait!!!! Thanks again.
Does anyone know if you can see Illuminations from inside the restaurant? Thinking about a late dinner here.

 

[blackthidot]

Via Napoli can hold that many people with no issues and who does not like pizza?

 

[harveyt0206]

With a party of that size I think your best options might be Teppan Edo or Biergarten since both encourage family style dining. Via Napoli would also offer a great menu.

With a group that large, I would go with the Biergarten. You will all be able to sit together, the food is good, and the place is very festive.

[Mrs.Skellington]

The only thing that looks good at rose and crown was the fish and chips and being from south Louisiana, I am iffy about trying fried fish anywhere else other than here. We make some killer fried fish here.:slurp: No offense.

I agree with this one, especially for a group as large as yours.

 

[real mad hatter]

Good Call!

Trust me,You made the right choice. Being from Scotland and living by the Irish sea,we have more fish and chips shops than taxi cabs.We tried the Rose & Crown one night for three fish suppers,whit the !!!!.The fish portion fitted in the palm of my hand,ok it tasted nice and the batter was crispy,but hey,where's the rest of my fish gone?.Harry Ramsden would scoff at this.:shrug:
