[Figgy1]

This one's for my father inlaw, a Clint Eastwood fan. A question in 3 parts! What restaurant would you say is good . Restaurant 2 bad and restaurant 3 ugly?

 

[littleroo]

Good: The Garden grill-always consistent
Bad: T-rex- you know
Ugly: Yak and Yeti- needs more decor

 

[zurgandfriend]

The Good: California grill, food, service, décor and view are all great.
The Bad: Hollywood & Vine food service décor are all bad and the place is noisy.
The Ugly: 50’s Prime Time Café, I love the restaurant but I swear we had the same kitchen set when I was a kid and I remember most of the shows they have “looping” on the TV’s.

Easy..One restaurant fits all..Jiko....It's Good because the cuisine is awesome. It's Bad when your server gives you the bill And it's Ugly when you look out the window only to see a Zebra doing a Poo Poo.

 

[jlsHouston]

GOOD: the bacon burger at Beaches&Cream and the NY Strip steak at Flying Fish
BAD: Beef Tips and Noodles served at Akerhaus..tough and chewy
Ugly: Maybe Pinnochio Village Haus

OK people one last time that's Hollywood and VILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fixed it.

 

[OldYeller]

Good: 'Ohana
Bad: Commissary at HS
Ugly: Cosmic Rays, but not because of how it looks. I've come to the conclusion that the mens' room at cosmic rays is one of the worst places on earth between the hours of 11:30 and 2:00 and, unfortunately, the building seems to cause my 8-year old son to have to make a run to the bathroom at least three times every time we eat there.

The Good: Crystal Palace. Ok not haute cuisine but most magical setting.

Come to think of it the last two are interchangeable.

This one's for my father inlaw, a Clint Eastwood fan. A question in 3 parts! What restaurant would you say is good . Restaurant 2 bad and restaurant 3 ugly?

Ok, I'm in.

The Good: As far as all-around dining goes (ambiance, decor, menu, service and execution), I think I give the nod to California Grill. Sure, it's a bit over-hyped, and it can get very loud and crowded, but it has those traits for a reason. It's a fun atmosphere with good food, and is one of the most unique dining experiences you can have within the gates. Also, if you take them up on it, the servers will gladly share their vast knowledge of the menu, the opinions on it and the best pairings to go with your foods, be it wine, beer or other libation. It's just plain good.

The Bad: Tony's Town Square is the worst dining experience I have ever had at Disney. In fact, it's some of the worst Italian food I've had, period. The fact that you pay Disney prices for what amounts to food that is no better than reheated Stouffer's entrees is insulting. I hold Italian food to a pretty high standard, since I can make my own Italian fare, and it's damn fine, if I do say so myself. And when I see naked pasta heaped on a plate with globs of sauce poured over the top, I get downright livid. Pasta is finished in the pan, with the sauce. It's a fundamental truth of pasta and the simplest possible preparation. I have no faith in anything else that they make, if they can't even get that right. I feel bad for the servers there, too. They almost always look haggard. They do a yeoman's job like no other person in the parks.

The Ugly: As much as I like the food and love the lounge, the Cave, I mean the Wave is, in my opinion the ugliest restaurant in Disney World. It looks like some well-meaning decorator did a bang-up job sprucing up a bomb shelter. Carpet, drape and splash color all you like, if your space is essentially a concrete bunker, it will just end up looking like a carpeted concrete bunker (I'm looking at you, too, Le Cellier). Go there for the food, not the amazing visual spectacle.

Truth. Except they didn't splash color in the Wave. Unless you count brown-on-brown-on-brown as splashing color about.
