I've been to a lot of the restaurants at WDW but am looking to try something different. We are probably staying at the Swan, are any of the restaurants at the Swan/Dolphin good? Also, how is Tony's at the Magic Kingdom? I haven't ever been there.

BlueZoo is one of WDW's best dining experiences led by celeb-chef Todd English. Fresh is supposed to be excellent as well, but I've never been there. The food options are much broader than what you get at most WDW resorts. And you can walk to the other great options in the Epcot resorts or the park itself.
