    Be Our Guest- I would give it a try
    Mama Melrose- We have eaten here in the past and been pleased. If you are used to good Italian food, this may not meet your standard, but it is good.
    Narcoossee's- Ate there many years ago and we liked it. Have not been back since.
    Jiko- Never ate there
    Artist Point-We usually eat here every trip. In July we visited once again but we were not as pleased as in the past. I felt like they were too eclectic with their menu choices. We didnt really like the pairings with the meats offered. It was good food, but not worth two dining points IMO.
    Bistro de Paris- We ate here on our honeymoon 3 years ago. We liked it but not enough to make it a stop every trip.
    Olivia's Cafe- Never tried but have heard some good things
    Yak and Yeti (TS)- We tried it and strongly disliked- will probably never eat there again.
    Citrico's- Have heard good things! Ate there many years ago!
    Artist's Palate- No idea
    Captain's Grille- Not sure about this one either
    Yachtsman Steakhouse- Good steak !

    I would choose:

    Be Our Guest: It's New, Could be Good

    Bistro de Paris - Ate there in September and it exceeded our expectation. Lunch is cute with Remy for children AND adults. May not want to do this AND Be Our Guest - could get redundant.

    Narcoossee's - I don't eat fish either, but the chicken and steak dishes are very good. Great views. Great quality.

    Yachtsman Steakhouse - DELICIOUS. Do not miss this.

    Artist Point - Unique menu. Good quality.

    Stay Away:

    Mama Melrose = Olive Garden with the worst service. NOT anywhere near real Italian food. Jar sauce.

    Jiko = We went here last September and were very much looking forward to it. We found it to be mediocre and uncreative. We were expecting really unique choices but the food was nothing special (bland, but dessert was good), and in addition the service was a bit aloof and inattentive (they kept asking us over and over again which hotel we were staying at - the host made a face when we said "Pop Century" - we were dressed very nicely - I'm a clothes snob and we were well beyond the dress code). We were disappointed. We should have tried Boma, I think.

    Artist's Point is a big winner here. My favourite on property.

    Never done the Yachtsman's and it's always on our to-do list.

    Yak and Yeti provides good food in a lovely environment.

    Jiko is a good choice also.

    Captain's Grill is plain and simple - not an "event" restaurant - but very good and particularly ideal for a fancy lunch when you're having a casual day.
    I've got a dirty thumb.

    The People of Anandapur and the Royal Anandapur Wildlife and Forestry Authority trust you will enjoy your walk and ask that you respect and honor these lovely creatures with behavior appropriate for peaceful co-existence.

    CITRICO'S!!

    This is a great restaurant with consistently very good food. We have eaten there several times over the years - including the big Millenium celebration. I am also planning my sister's 40th bday in the private chef's dining room.

    I think it is overlooked for Cali Grill at Grand Fla but the food and service is great and the view is good too (altho not as good as Cali Gril). And... it is a big slower pace than the hustle bustle of other spots - which is really nice if that suits your mood! There is a recent review of it on Disneyfoodblog.com.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

    Jiko- excellent filet mignon, service, and location. Order a side of mac& cheese to go with your steak. We have had many great dinners at Jiko.

    Artist Point- great meal and outstanding service for our first-time experience. We ordered steaks.

    Mama Melrose- convenient location, good choice. Every dinner was good to very good.

    Yak & Yeti- I have not looked at the menu lately. They had good chicken options.

    Last September, they wouldn't make the mac and cheese for me at Jiko Is it back on the menu? I've heard it's so good!

    Yachtsmen Steakhouse is a must do for us every time. Their escargot is incredible. Also went to Yak & Yeti once and loved it. Not on our must do list yet but could be soon.

    I haven't eaten there yet, but I would suggest Narcoossee's. My DH and I are eating there for my 35th birthday and our wedding anniversary (same day!). I went to a lot of different sites and while my DH does not like seafood, he loved the menu when we looked at it recently. He's never had lobster so he's going to to the big surf n turf meal there.

    I've been to Yak and Yeti, and it was enjoyable both times. I wouldn't call it a favorite, but I liked it and would go there possibly next visit. If you needed a 4th pick in a themepark, choose this one!

    Mama Melrose we have always enjoyed. Nothing outstanding just good food and service.

    Jiko is wonderful. We have eaten there a couple times and each time the experience has been wonderful. The dishes have been unique & tasty. If you like wine they have some of the best

    Artist Point is wonderful as well. The salmon is the best. I think that during May they have this fantastic wild salmon that is mouth watering

    Yak & Yeti is just OK for us. We like it better for CS than TS now.

    Bistro de Paris we haven't eaten there is some time but we loved it
