Rose and Crown
YUM! I love this place (I haven't eaten at the others). Usually we just pop in for a beer, but there is always seating available when we have just shown up.
Good Fish and chips.
Last Trip: April 2015 CBR
Next Trip: Sept 2015 Boardwalk

Try the bangers and mash at the Rose & Crown. We love the place. We also really like the Coral Reef.

can't remember where but I have read somewhere that the Concourse will be closing in October and going under a refurb and when it opens it will no longer be the concourse.

Rose & Crown
Coral Reef
THE best meal I've ever had in DIsney was at the Coral Reef. We have eaten there almost every trip and, while some times are better than others, we always like it.
-
Coral Reef is my new favorite restaurant at DW! The ambiance is can't be beat. The food is delish and the service was great!
-
Coral Reef gets (consistently) mixed reviews here; but we've always had great experiences there. The food and service, in our experiences, have been great. I know others find it pricey for what you get. The aquarium-side tables are top notch, especially for kids.
Rose & Crown - to us, a great place. We do not love the food here - find it average. But the service is top notch, and the atmosphere is fun and jovial. We thoroughly feel relaxed here and enjoy our time.
We have found the Concourse Steak House to be average to good. Service has always been very good, but the few times we've eaten here, the food has been just average.
Good luck and have a great time!

We ate at the R&C two weeks ago for the first time and I have to say it was wonderful. We both had the fish and chips. The table next to us had the cheese platter and it looked really good as well. Unfortunatly I do not have much positive to say about the Coral Reef. The one time we ate there (05), the food was over done, the service slow, and we thought it was overpriced for what you got. The view was nice and the dessert was great.

We've eaten at all 3 (Coral Reef once, R&C once, and Concourse twice), and loved them all.
Coral Reef, last Sept during "free dining". It was the best meal of our trip. My wife had the NY Strip, and I had the seared tuna. Both were excellent! Also, the service was great - a very friendly, efficient waiter. And the Chocolate Wave...what a great dessert! And the atmosphere here is fantastic! All the fish, the divers, and Mickey in diving gear too... We're going back for dinner next Jan.
R&C: Went once for dinner, and the food was great and the service even better. I had a pie sampler (delicious) and my wife had fish & chips (also very good). We were there during Illuminations - the view was excellent, but there was something wrong with the sound that night, so that kind of tainted the experience.
Concourse Steakhouse: Went once for dinner and once for lunch. We prefer the lunch there. We got the best cheeseburger we've ever had. We're planning on going back for lunch next Jan. Dinner was good, but not great. I had the ribs (good); my wife had the filet (also good). But the atmosphere here is neat with the monorail going through overhead.

My family loves the Concourse! Too bad it will be closing next year! We always make a point of having dinner there. The filet is great! Last year (on DDP) we were able to get smoothies as drinks at no additional charge! Also my DD9 loves that she can get steak as a kids meal!
Happy dining!
-
I am particular to the R&C. I like the food offerings and 1/2 the time we were there, one of my kids has gotten to start the fireworks!

We love the Coral Reef and look forward to going back. Never tried Rose and Crown and wasn't impressed with Concourse last Dec. but the service was top notch- I wouldn't go back.
Have a wonderful time.

I've eaten at Coral Reef twice and enjoyed it both times. It is more pricey, especially if you are not on the DDP. The entrees are hit and miss. The first time it was my fault because I didn't know what wasabi was and that I hated it. haha. The second time I got the mahi mahi which I enjoyed very much. The lobster soup is AMAZING. Same with the chocolate wave. You cannot go there without getting both of those.
-
In my opinion, you can't go wrong with any of them. I had the fish and chips in R&C (excellent). I've had a great cheeseburger and pretty good steak at Concourse (although LeCellier is better). And the seafood at Coral Reef is fantastic.

Thanks for your responses.My family went last year before we did and said Coral Reef and Concourse didn't impress them.They also said that about O'Hanas and San Angel Inn and we ate at those places and it was 2 of the best places we've eaten at DW.

Never been to the Concourse but the Coral Reef was alright,the service wasn't that great,my wife loved it and wants to go back.As far as the R&C,it was very relaxing and quiet,perfect for an afternoon lunch and a break from the hustle and bustle.The food was great and I'd go back in a minute.

Coral reef is SOOOOOOO good! The tilapia (at lunch) was the best we've ever had. And I had the lobster salad--it was really good and I don't really like lobster.
-
IMHO - Coral Reef is the best restaurant in WDW. The service is PHENOMENAL and the food is to die for. The Mahi Mahi (served lunch AND dinner) is incredible...especially with the Israeli Cous-Cous. You also can't NOT have the chocolate wave....sooooo good! I can't say ONE bad thing about it.
On the OPPOSITE end of the spectrum, Rose & Crown is not my cup of tea. My fish (which I was looking forward to the most!) was not fresh and inedible. There are SOOO many restaurants in Epcot...and from what I hear, Biergarten, Le Cellier, and Marrakesh are all hits. Rose & Crown seems on the boards to be hit or miss...I would avoid it completely due to the sole fact that the menu is nothing special and there's so much more intriguing menu items at other restaurants...again just my opinion...
Good luck and ENJOY!
