As I said... <<they were well-prepared and great comfort food.>> That sounds pretty positive to me!

Originally Posted By BeastieGirl yeah, the Cottage pie on the menu looked pretty good to me. I think for restaurants at Epcot that require reservations, you would think it would be more 'fine-dining', but it still sounds yummy to me. How difficult is it to request a table outside?
