I don't see anything on the adult menu that I'm sure she'll like (other than the pizzetta appetizer?). I saw in another post Darkbeer said they enforce the kid's age for the kid menu. But she would love almost anything on that menu. Are they gonna give me the bum's rush if I ask for a kid's menu? If I have to pay a higher price, that's fine, but I'd like her to have it to look at so she can choose something. Or should I just wait to eat there til I can find a proper date?? ;-)

Anyone been to all?

Le Cellier (WDW) 10. The Yacht CLub (DLP) Napa Rose is very special!
Originally Posted By Mr X Cool list, Dave. Unfortunately, I've only eaten at two of those places (California Grill and Cellier)...I'll have to give more of them a shot when I get back to America. Always wanted to try Shula's steakhouse too (in the Dolphin, I think). Looked yummy, and big volume wise (I've got eyes bigger than my stomach, though a month in America recently made my stomach catch up to my eyes pretty quick lol).

I'm glad to hear you think so highly of it, Dave! I'm sure I've heard others say it's not "all that," so it's good to see it rated #1!
Originally Posted By LuLu Oh, and I'm curious - those who've also eaten at Club 33, how do you compare the two? I've often heard Napa is much better...

I honestly don't think they'd even give you a second look if you asked about the kid's menu. They *are* very accommodating, but even if they tell you that they have to stick to the age restriction on the kid's menu, they're not going to treat you any worse for having asked. Just a thought. /cs

Well restaurants can have good days and bad days, but I found everything to be perfect when we had dinner there. (Our 2nd wedding anniversary). Maybe living in Europe has had an impact on my expectations, but Napa Rose is actually my favorite restaurant anywhere on the globe. Can't comment on Club 33 however, I've never had the opportunity :-(
Originally Posted By LuLu Thanks, cs, I'm glad they wouldn't banish me! :-D But I think it would be better experience for DD to work out her order with the server instead of just ordering off the kids menu. I need to make my ressie!
