So we definetly choose DTD....

but now I need help choosing a sit down restaurant. I have been to Rainforest Cafe and it was ok. It would not be my first choice. I don't want to spend alot. I guess somewhere between $8.oo- maybe around $20.00 would be ok. There will be about 12 of us so ADR's is nessecary for us. Any reccomendations would be very helpful.Thanks

Our top 2 picks would be: Portobello (Italian) and Fulton's Crab House (seafood). neither is on the dining plan. Both are very good.

Another vote for Fulton's! I also hear that Wolfgang Pucks is great!

Re: So we definetly choose DTD....

Absolutely Wolfgang Pucks! We loved it and especially if your on the dining plan! If not, there are some great menu items. The Roasted Chicken is really good and is presented in a unique way that everyone will like for about only $15. They have pizzas, sushi, salads, pasta and much more for under $20. I'm sure there is something everyone would like.

Check out the menu:Wolfgang Puck Cafe Menu - Downtown Disney

Not on this budget. Maybe Wolfgang Puck Express or Earl of Sandwich. A dinner entree at Fulton's starts around $20 and Portobello is about the same.

Check menus and prices for the DTD restaurants at allearsnet.com

AVOID BONGO'S, YOU DON'T NEED CUBAN FOOD THIS BAD!

Re: So we definetly choose DTD....

I'm confused about Wolfgang Puck's. I want to change my arrival day ADR from O'hana's to a DTD restaurant. Are there 3 Wolfgang Puck's? Upstairs, Cafe, Express? Not sure how this works. I was looking at the Cafe menu on the All Ears site. It is a TS credit right? Maybe this is the one to choose. Help!

Re: So we definetly choose DTD....

Yep--you got it--3 Wolfgang's! There's the cafe, the cafe dining room(upstairs part of the cafe) and express (actually 4 if you count that there are 2 express). I LOVE Wolfgang Puck Express! It's very yummy, but not a sit-down!!

Re: So we definetly choose DTD....

We have been to Bongos and it was awful. I am looking at Wolf Gang Puck's and it looks kinda good. Anyone have advice on that one?

Re: So we definetly choose DTD....

Upstairs is not on the DDP, just downstairs. They have two different menus. Downstairs is on table credit and pretty good.

I just don't understand this. Gloria and Emilo know what good Cuban food is supposed to taste like. From what I've heard Gloria's mom was a good cook. Makes no sense to me that la Carretta (local group of Cuban restaurants in Miami) can blow away Bongo's on an hourly basis. Worse, hole in the wall cafeterias in Hialeah blow Bongo's away. I won't waste my time on the one in downtown Miami either.

Re: So we definetly choose DTD....

I definitely suggest Wolgang Pucks Cafe. Like Missy Mouse said there are 3 different restaurants.

WGP Express in the Marketplace is an excellent counter service. IMHO the best CS in WDW. I highly recommend the BBQ Quesadilla and the Linguini with Chicken Bolognese.

WGP cafe and the Upscale "Upstairs" area is located on the Westside. The "Upstairs" part of the restaurant is NOT on the Disney Dining Plan and a little more expensive; however the Cafe is alot of the same menu items and is on the DDP as a Table Service credit. We loved the food here

They have all types of selections for under $20 to satisfy everyone in your party I'm sure. Check out the photos from our last visit here:

Also, check out these photos for an idea of the restaurant and some other menu items:

Re: So we definetly choose DTD....

We are not on the dinning plan. I agree with the hole in the wall places in hialeah. We are from Miami and go back frequently and having cuban food is a must. Yeah, I don't undewrstand how Gloria and Emilo do not make Bongos better. It would do so awsome.

Re: So we definetly choose DTD....

Earl of Sandwich - absolutely the best inexpensive meal at the Marketplace - followed closely by Wolfgang Puck Express. If everyone wants something different, you can order from both and find a table outside, to sit and eat and people watch.
