    Default Where would you not dine again

    So many posts about which are our favorite places to eat.

    This got me thinking:

    Is there anywhere you plan not to dine again? If so, why.

    Mine is San Angel In. I love the atmosphere and Mexican food so I had high hopes.

    Service was really pretty bad adn I honestly think the food I can get at my local restaurant is much better.

    I would have to say Coral Reef. The food was pretty good, but the service was slow and awful. I guess that has just stuck with me and I have had no desire to go back!

    Mama Melrose - bad service, worse food

    Cantina de San Angel (CS place in Mexico pavillion) - had the Plato Combanacion and they may as well have given me a bowl of grease.

    Chefs de France.....Soup and flatbread were great, but the main courses and desserts were just plain bad. Service was pretty good. Overall it was a big disappointment (and an expensive one at that).

    Ours is Mama Melroses at DHS. The one time we ate there the food was cold, the service slow, and it took forever to get our Fantasmic package. One really bad time is all it takes. There are so many other wonderful restaurants why should I take a chance on one that was horrible on our last time there.

    Marrakesh- We're very adventurous eaters, but there were 6 of us and none of us would go back (didn't like the sweet/meat & spices combination).

    Chefs de France- We love the food in France (real one), but not here...disappointing. Service was excellent.

    not many places that I wont give another try, although it might be a few yrs
    1 place ive never gone back to was Cap Jacks...& that was a few wives & many yrs ago (in the 80s i think)
    AKershus, which used to b a fav, now its not the same as it used to be wo buffet & limited servings
    SciFi- food wasnt that great & service too. the clips were repetitive.
    but there are places that i had great meals one time & only soso others so it all depends

    The former Italian restaurant in the Italy paillion at EPCOT.

    (Haven't tried the new owners.)

    The food was bad, the service was bad, they sat me at a table in front of the door to the kitchen where I was constantly run into, overall bad experience - and expensive. I can't even remember their name - tried to block it all out!

    Mama Melrose, not impressed at all. Concourse Steakhouse at the Comtemporary, should have know when the place was empty.

    Those are the only two that stick out right now.

    I would not go to the Sci-Fi again. At least not for dinner! The food was AWFUL! On the other hand, the atmosphere was really cool!

    I think Donald's Breakfastausaurus has gone the way of the dinosaurs and good riddance. I got after it one morning. I actually think it was the orange juice. We were at the first sitting of the day and I think it was left over from the previous day. My father in law got sick as well and we were the only ones drinking OJ from that caraffe. Watch out for those first sittings at a buffet...

    For poor service and bad food experiences:
    Coral Reef
    Rainforest Cafe
    Boatwright's
    Kona Cafe

    And Biergarten, though it was good and a nice atmosphere and service, just because once is enough for me there.

    There are a couple, but not necessarily for the same reason. Restaurant Marakesh just wasn't a mixture of spices we enjoyed. The restaurant was beautiful, the belly dancer was great, we just didn't care for the Morrocan spices.

    We were unimpressed with Yak & Yeti. For the price it was very underwelming, as most Landry's restaurants are.

    Coral Reef was very expensive, for not very good food. I have no complaints about the service. The food was just very ordinary at best for high end prices. We had a group of six, and no one was impressed.

    Some of the restaurants that were mentioned, we enjoyed, we weren't blown away, but we didn't have as high expectations. We go to Sci-Fi for the atmosphere and we don't order anything other than sandwiches or burgers, so we're not dissapointed.

    Rainforest Cafe doesn't quite fit the question, since although we've been there twice, we haven't actually eaten there. Both times the service was SOOO slow we walked out. In this case, two strikes and you're out. Another Landry's property.

    Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

    I'd never return to Nine Dragons. I've written too much about this restaurant on these boards, but I'll say it again. We can get better Chinese food on our street corner for literally more than half the price.

    Also, the only reason I'd go back to the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater is if I was with a newbie who just wanted the experience. The atmosphere is cool. The food stinks.
