    Question Which would you choose?

    I will be in WDW from June 16-21 staying at All Star Sports. I will be there solo for a couple of days before hooking up with family and friends. I will most likely eat CS for the most part but thought I might like to do one TS dinner as a treat. If you had to choose one restaurant which would it be?

    Ohana's. It's our one and only not miss. The food is sooo good (peanut sauce!)..the atmosphere unique and fun, the big windows, the great views, the POLY!

    I would do Teppan Edo as a solo. You'd get placed with other diners so you'd have people to chat with over dinner and the food is always yummy.

    As a solo diner I would rule out all places that serve a meal "family style".
    Ohana, Liberty Tree Tavern, Garden Grill are the ones that come to mind that I would save until the rest of my group arrived.

    I would choose California Grill. It doesn't have to be expensive. You can stick with appetizers or flatbreads. The views are incredible, giving you something to look at and enjoy in lieu of conversation. You can even have your meal at the bar instead of having to get a table on your own. The bartenders are very friendly and willing to offer advice on wines, or tastings if you're not sure which to choose. If I was on my own in WDW, that's exactly where I would go. Actually, I would go there with a group or as a couple. I would go there, regardless. It's excellent.

    I agree with California Grill. It would be a special treat.

    It all depends on what you like- Coral Reef for the view and seafood; California Grill, Le Cellier or Yachtsman Steakhouse for steak... so many awsome possibilities!!

    I would consider if there is a restaurant you really want to try but the rest of your part isn't really into trying it--like Boma or one of the WS restaurants. This would be a great opportunity to try it out and if you like it be able to sell the idea to the rest of the group. Other than that I'd either go with a personal favorite or Teppan Edo like a pp said where you are seated with others. Have fun!

    I think I'd do Boma if I wanted to do a solo buffet. For a splurge I'd go to the CA Grill or the Brown Derby.

    I would probably say CA grill or another one that seats you with other people is Biergarten.

    Ohana or Wolfgang Puck Cafe in Dowtown Disney - we were pleasantly surprised how good all 4 of our dishes were!!
