One Last ADR to choose and 5 spots! Help!

[plaz10]

Hello Disney Dining Gurus. Again I call upon you all to help me make a decision regarding upcoming ADRs. Our trip is planned for Sept. - staying at Port Orleans French Quarter (first time staying there - so excited!)

Here are our current ADRs:

California Grill
Narcoosses
Via Napoli
Le Cellier (Lunch)
Cape May Cafe (Dinner)
Ohana (Breakfast)
Crystal Palace (Breakfast)

We have room for 1 more 1 credit ADR. On our first day - we'll be traveling to Animal Kingdom during the day and EPCOT at night. So we would like a place close to one of those 2 parks. I've narrowed down my choices to these:


--San Angel Inn - EPCOT
I don't like Mexican food but my fiance does. And I would love to eat here just for the atmosphere. Is there anything on that menu that is not too "ethnic" lol. I looked at the menu and I just don't know. I'm a very picky eater.)

--Sanaa - Kidani Village
(We've actually eaten here before and loved it. But we are looking to try some new places. This would also be easy as we want to stop at AKL to get some Zebra Domes at Mara)

--Captain's Grille - Yacht and Beach Club
(Never been. The menu looks good but we are already eating seafood twice (Narc and CMC) so thats what deters us from eating here)

--50's Prime Time Cafe - DHS
(I've eaten here once when I was young - Fiance has never been. I'm worried he won't enjoy the "elbows off the table" atmosphere. And I would like the food but fiance says "thats food I can get at home")

--Garden Grill - EPCOT
(We both love Living with the Land. I'm worried about it since it's a buffet and besides breakfast I like to steer clear of buffets. But the fiance thinks the menu looks pretty good and thinks it'd be a neat experience. The characters play no role in this decision - can take 'em or leave 'em)

So please - HELP! We would love to hear reviews, see pictures of food, anything! Thanks so much in advance!

***Side note: This will all be void if Be Our Guest opens up by the time we arrive - for without even looking at the menu or caring it's in MK: we will be eating there if possible.

Hi Jess! We are trying Sanaa in May for the first time. I'm a little anxious since I'm not usually a huge fan of spicey food. I've read really good reviews about it though. Not so many good reviews about San Angel Inn however I'd love to try it, if only for the atmosphere if nothing else!! 50's is usually a must do for us. It is food you can get a home but it's just so yummy we always go there!! Go luck choosing!!

Its A Doddle!

Well for me there's only one out your choices I would go for and that's Sanaa.:wave:

Try Kozzina's on the Boardwalk.

Of your choices, I would say Sanaa would be number one.

The Captain's Grille is also a good choice, my brother and his girlfriend dined there last year and really enjoyed their meal.

Garden Grill is served family style, so its not a true buffet. I haven't eaten here yet myself, but it is on the list to try.

Hope that helps

My pick is Captain's Grille! We ate there is Sept for the 1st time and we were all impressed. Very low key and relaxing atmosphere and food was delish!

We've eaten at Garden Grill, atmosphere was cool but the food just wasn't good in our opinion. Have you thought about Yak and Yeti sit down at AK? The food there we thought was delisccious!

I can also recommend the Captain's Grille. Their menu is not limited to fish, you can get steak and other meats there, too. We had an excellent meal there last October.

Right now we are leaning towards Garden Grill...

I picked almost every ADR on the list except for Cape May - Bill picked that one. So I figure I can throw him a bone to eat here. The reviews are the only thing that is steering me away - because seeing Living with the Land would be cool.

But no decisions are made until March 16!
