    Via Napoli - had the four cheese pizza, margherita pizza, sausage and broccoli rabe pizza. Loved them all but margherita my favorite.

    Sci-Fi- BLT soup and burger, actually very good.

    Chefs De France- the mac and cheese is amazing, also love the short ribs.

    Kouzzina- Have had the lamb shank, the trio, the fisherman's stew, all fantastic. Love Kouzzina.

    Coral Reef- has been too long, can't give a fair review (but we'll never go back).

    Boma- Buffet, I love everything, especially the soups.

    These are the places i have eaten

    Sci-Fi ..... Unique atmosphere and a must just to experience the place ....However menu is bland ..However i agree with disneydeb the milkshakes are amazing

    Chefs De France....Eaten there a few times and its well worth the trip ..The french onion soup is to die for ( and i dont like french onion soup back at home !!! )

    Coral Reef.....Went there for lunch and it was nothing to write home about was expecting more especially on the menu side which wasnt that varied


    Boma ..... Not for me ,the seats are too close toegther and the food isnt all that ..There are far better buffets out there...We would never go back

    Chefs De France-Rotissere chicken is good, short ribs so-so, lobster bisque is good and the creme brulee is very good...overall this restaurant is solid in that its good but not great.

    Via Napoli: had the lasagna and really enjoyed it.
    Sci-Fi: Love the atmosphere and milkshakes. Good burgers.
    Mama Melrose: Enjoy it, we usually do it as part of the Fantasmic package.
    Coral Reef: Hit or miss for us, we usually eat there if we're bringing someone new just for the atmosphere.
    Boma: Didn't enjoy it first time we ate there. But after reading all the great reviews we tried it again and really enjoyed it.

    Sci-Fi - Not impressed.

    Tutto Italia - Been a few years, but was pretty good.

    Turf Club - Very good. Had an excellent steak there.

    Mama Melrose - We like it. Average Americanized Italian. Good service.

    Chefs De France - Haven't been there yet.

    Kouzinna - Totally unimpressed. Food we had was greasy and lacked any sort of spices. Service was terrible.

    Coral Reef - Been there, done that, won't be going back.

    Boma - One of our favorites. Good selection, tasty foods, good service.
    See above ^^.

    Here are my thoughts on our experiences at these restaurants:

    House of Blues - We have only eaten here for the Sunday Brunch, I must say that the collard greens were so good that 5 years later I haven't eaten any as good.
    Via Napoli - The best veal parm I've ever had! This place can be very, very loud.
    Sci-Fi - We go here for the experience more than the food, but we have not been disappointed. The hamburger, onion rings and milkshake are good. They used to have a steak salad the was super, but it's not on the menu anymore.
    Tutto Italia - Once again a restaurant that has removed my favorites from the menu and we haven't felt the need to back recently.
    Turf Club - Not eaten here.
    Mama Melrose - This is where we eat for the Fantasmic! dinner package. I always order the steak here and haven't been disappointed.
    Chefs De France - Seldom do we go to WDW without eating here. Love, love the short ribs and OMGosh the bread and then I can get something sinful for dessert.
    Kouzinna - This was the place I got the single worst meal I have ever had! When after 2 bites of my entree I told our waiter and then the manager I would like something else, I was very rudely told I would have to still pay for the basically uneaten dish and would be charged for a new one too. I left hungry and ate popcorn from the Boardwalk for dinner. Never, ever will I go back there.
    Coral Reef - We have always had good food and service here, but I have read enough reviews that I feel forunate about that.
    Boma - We like Boma and it is a different kind of food than your normal fare but yummy. We usually go back about every third or fourth trip.

    Scifi the food was okay nothing special and service horrible!!!(we are at least 20% tippers, and we told the manager that we didn't even leave a tip it was that bad!)
    Coral reef- has a ressie and got there early and still had to wait 45 minutes past ressie to be seated, and food was just okay nothing special, hubbie doesn't want to go back.

    Chefs de france, our waitress was fantastic!!! made a drawing for the kids because it was their birthday.(our meal was slightly delayed due to our daughters allergies and the waitress kept checking in and talking and interacting with 7 year old twins.) Daughter had a cheese puff pastry for an appetizer that was good, steaks were great, and I had a dessert of sherberts(pear, raspberry, mango) They were fantastic and the best dessert of the whole trip!

    Sci- Fi: most recent visit this past summer; this was on the "No" list for several years, but decided to try it again. Enjoyable atmosphere, milkshakes to die for, limited menu, but food was good and plentiful. Be careful of the milkshake - it will fill you up and you may not have room to eat! Kids loved it; wife, not so much due to limited menu. It is back on the "Yes" list.

    Tutto Italia: most recent visit in 2011; excellent food and service. Never had a bad meal here. I was disappointed that we could not eat here on our most recent trip, but we only had one day at Epcot and went to San Angel instead. (We got our Italian fix on a different day at Portobello's in Downtown Disney - loved it more that Tutto!)

    Mama Melrose: most recent visit - maybe 2007 ??? I remember that it was good, but nothing special. Reminded me of one of those chain restaurants. We only ate there to get the Fantasmic package. I would do it again, but would not go out of my way.

    Sci-Fi - atmosphere the food is ok (angry they got rid of BLT soup but happy they brought back the ribs Best Milkshakes in all of Disney

    Mama Melrose - think Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill

    Chefs De France ditto about the French Soup and the Mac and cheese Love that they have a prix fixe menu and IMO reasonable. This is a must do for us every trip lookout for Chef Remy!

    Coral Reef -not as good as it used to be years ago. Tried it again recently and I still feel the same way - not good anymore

    Ive only eaten at Tutto, Mama Melrose, and Chefs. I was too young to rate Chefs since I ate from kids menu. I am an italian food snob so Mama and Tutto were mediocre.

    Have done three:

    Sci-Fi - great atmosphere especially for the little ones, killer shakes

    Chefs de France - honestly can't remember what I had but I i know DW and enjoyed the whole experience-food, service, setting, etc.

    Boma - different food choices - which is a welcome relief - and plenty of options buffet style. Smells great in there too!

    Any dining at AKL we love
    House of Bluse - terrible. New chef and were excited to try but very disappointed.
    Any of the Italian restaurants we do not care for
    Chefs is good
    Si-fi not for adults
    Coral Reef just ok
    Also just our opinions.

    House of Blues - First time ADR in April 2013

    Via Napoli - Great pizza and love the style of this restaurant. Note that outside pizza window (if they still had it) serves different pizza than inside. Disappointing.

    Sci-Fi - Fun place, kind of dark. Go for the experience not the food

    Tutto Italiac - Have not eaten here

    Turf Club - Have not eaten here

    Mama Melrose - Mostly good trips here but did have an "average" meal here a few years ago. Best bet in DHS (limited TS options in DHS)

    Chefs De France - Never eaten here

    Kouzinna - Never eaten here

    Coral Reef - only once, not our "cup of tea" but the view was great

    Boma - great buffet and nice to visit the Animal Kingdom Lodge if you have never been there before

    Both les Chefs and Coral Reef have a very good lobster bisque - the one at Les Chefs is slightly better.

    Love Mama Melrose, but in Sept I had the vegetarian potato gnocchi and I didn't really care for it. DH had a steak which he said was delicious. He's not really a steak person, so that's saying a lot.

    Boma - Love the soups, carving station is very good. I enjoy trying new things there even if I end up not liking them. Kind of a fun food adventure.

    House of Blues---Never been

    Via Napoli---Apparently should have had the pizza. Most people in our group had Chicken Parm. I didn't mind it, but one did not care for the sauce at all. It was served with roasted potatoes instead of pasta, not a big hit with 2 from my group. Spaghetti was ok.

    Sci-Fi---Haven't eaten here in quite a while. Not really a favorite, but decent for average offerings.

    Tutto Italia---Very much a family favorite.

    Turf Club---Never been

    Mama Melrose---No one in my family cared for this at all!

    Chefs de France---Another huge family favorite!

    Kouzzina---Never been , but my daughter and her fiance loved it. He is a very finicky eater.

    Coral Reef---Never been

    Boma---Another family favorite!
