But, I can't seem to find the name of it right now, could someone help? Also, any suggestions of other not-to-be-missed sit-down places? She's pretty much basic with her eating habits ( not a fan of seafood or more exotic foods ), so suggestions for more main stream fare would be helpful. I had all of this planned for myself when we were ready to go last October, but when we had a car accident, we've had to postpone the trip, so I haven't been there in awhile to give her first hand info. As always, thanks for your help!

Anyway, given the three listed above, I would say that The Yachtsman sort of isn't all that great, however the Concourse is AWESOME and so is Le Cellier. IF your co-worker will probably have kids in tow, so the Concourse isn't a great place for those kids, so it seems to me that Le Cellier in Canada pavillion is your best bet. As for can't miss sit downs... my five kids and my wife and I are TOTALLY in love with 50's Prime Time Cafe at MGM Studios. We go three times a year and NEVER miss that one. Another meal that comes to mind is ofcourse Cinderella's Royal Table or whatever its called which is located inside th castle. I have been SHOCKED to find that in spite of the location the food is actually some of the best in all of WDW! Hope your co-worker has fun and hope your auto accident isn't that bad!

Also, for people who have "basic eating habits," if you don't mind a character or two, Liberty Tavern has a great meal.

Be aware though that their steaks range from $38 - $68 dollars, and that does NOT include soup, salad, potato or vegetable. So if you try it, be sure to bring a wad of cash!! <a href="http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/menu_ssh.htm" target="_blank">http://www.allearsnet.com/menu /menu_ssh.htm</a>

I have not eaten at the one in WDW purely because I can go to Shula's when on other business trips, but I am sure they are top quality. And yes, it is pricey....
Originally Posted By mickey_ring The Concourse is great, but can be noisy due to it's neighbor, Chef Mickey's. Our absolute favorite for steak is The Outback at the Wyndham Palace. I promote this place every chance I get here on LP. Not part of the Outback chain, by the way. Great service, variety and atmosphere. My wife and I try to get there on every WDW trip.

Originally Posted By virk4 Shula's is the best. Comfortable setting, expensive, and worth it. First class service.
Originally Posted By Boardwalkbum I've eaten at Shula's and found it to be very good if expensive...but then most dedicated steakhouses are expensive as well as a la carte. I have friends who rave about the Yachtsman as well as Le Cellier and I plan to hit both in the coming years. I would go with one of those two if your friend is looking for something a little more Disney than straight forward steakhouse. Of course, they could always take a shot at V&A having the Kobe on thier menu.It was the best steak I've had on property to date. When it comes to steak for me though, nothing has yet to top Morton's.
