(in no order) Le Cellier Beaches & Cream Trails End (although it is sliding) Boma Flame Tree Barbecue Port Orleans, like -em for the beignets Tangierine Cafe Whispering Canyon Hmm...could only come up with 8... so I guess I would also add Artist Point Narcoosee's

Whispering Canyon - BBQ food is good, but it is the most fun restaurant ever. I remember I had a few cokes and asked for another, then I was given a Huge mason jar full of coke and the server made a big deal of my COke problem to the rest of the restaurant. Straws, ketchup, horse races, stories and oh so much more. One of the most enjoyable dining experiences in my life - soooo fun! 5. Jiko - great modern african cuisine with a sublime wine list. 6. Artist Point - fantastic food, service and views. Lovely. 7. Teppan Edo - I know Benihana is similar, but this is always so much more fun, and half the cast are TDL cast members, so the service is amazing. 8. Biergarten - fun food, great german beer and wines, and a really fun show. 9. Sci Fi Dine in - forgettable food, but such a fun and unique dining location, I love the cars and the B movies. 10. Nine Dragons - often overlooked by many, but having been to china, this is the most authentic you will get in the US, with great service too. Honourable mention to Boma for best buffet (and I hate buffets); San Angel Inn (not as good as it used to be, but lovely ambience and I used to really love the Mole Poblano here); Marakech for the decor, entertainment and the mint tea, lovely. And I love the Luau at the Poly too. Best counter service are the one in the Land (fresh and good quality); Flame Tree BBQ - yummy and huge portions, terrific value; Cantina de San Angel; and the all you can eat Dole Whip at Capt Jacks. The Corn Dog cart at Boardwalk is good too. Biggest disappointment......sadly the 50's Prime Time diner - we had a lousy cast member, below average food, and not even the view master desert menu. And this was the one we were looking forward to the most too. Really was disappointed. and the MK is a dining wasteland. Liberty Tree and Crystal Palace are ok, but nothing special in the slightest (though that is my opinion of almost everything in the MK).
