If you could only have three table service meals during your trip what would the be?

Wow, I would have a very hard time only doing 3 total. But if that is how it had to be I would go with one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner. Breakfast would be Cape May Cafe because the food is good and it is not crazy with kids even though it is a character meal. Lunch would be Liberty Tree Tavern. The only reason I can give you for this is because right at this moment it is the one I would choose. Dinner would be California Grill. If signature dinning was out I would change that to the Turf Club. Their food is amazing, it is easy to get in, and it is rarely ever super crowded. I would probably change my mind about the 3 meals a hundred times before the trip though.

Hmm...personally I find quick service to be enough for me at breakfast and lunch, so I'd use my ADRs for dinner. My top three choices would be California Grill, Kona Cafe and maybe something fun like Whispering Canyon or 50's Prime time cafe. Of course, I like Restaurant Marrakesh too....boy this is tougher than I thought.

Breakfast at Cape May Cafe because it's my favorite breakfast buffet, there's fantastic food and it has characters with no rush to eat and leave like at Mickey's.

Dinner at California Grill because the food is fantastic and for me it holds an iconic Disney dining experience.

Finally I think I would pick Dinner at Ohana, because even though I've only eaten there once I thought it was fun and fantastic while full of Aloha!

Yeah... I think if I ate at those spots, I'd go home pretty dern happy.

on our next trip we are taking a risk and trying new places. We loved Chefs de France, wolfgang puck, and mama melrose. this time we are trying Prime Time in DHS, Le Celier and The Wave...here's to hoping!

Oh my gosh, Disney has some great Breakfast spots! I might freak out a bit if I had to give them up!

So, my alternate choice for dinner would probably be someplace that I hadn't tried before.

With only having 3 meals I would not try something new. I would then go with California Grill, the Turf Club and probably Kona Cafe. Again I bet I would change my mind a bunch of times.

CAPE MAY CAFE - (Dinner) Their "Clam Bake" is awesome!!! We pig out on the snow crab legs. All you can eat buffet.

LIBERTY TREE TAVERN - (Lunch or Dinner) Love T-Day food! Never get enough turkey and mashed potatoes.

ROSE AND CROWN PUB - Lunch or Dinner) Best Fish N Chips ever!!!

We only eat breakfast on the last day and that's at the Disney Resort Hotel we are staying at. Otherwise we eat something quick in our rooms.

If we couldn't get those:

RAGLAN ROAD - (Lunch or Dinner) Fish N Chips are pretty darn good! DTD restaurant.

Three Dinners . . . I'd go where I'd been before. Nothing is as much of a drag as trying that new place (or three) and coming up with nothing special or something frightening.

California Grill (for sure)

Jiko or Sanaa

Artist Point or Citrico's

We took some advice last time and tried Marrakesh and LeCellier. Both were disappointing. If these had been our dinners for whole trip, we'd still be stomping and pouting.

Very simple, very easy.
#1 Shula's In the Dolphin Hotel, Yeah! Yeah! it's still in WDW.
#2 Turf Club Bar & Grille at SSR.
#3 Ohana at the Poly.

The other thing she forgot to mention....

One is taken up already and that Ohana... the second one may already be taken up because as soon as reservations can be made at Beasts Castle... were going to try to book it... so yeah... in a way two... but one of those two could easily turn in to Beasts Castle.

1. California Grill
2. Biergarten in Germany at Epcot
3. Rose & Crown in UK at Epcot

This is so hard We have 15 adrs for our next trip and still have some open lunches, yeah we go with the deluxe dining plan, so I would choose your 3 favorite restaurants. For me that would be Artist Point, Kona Cafe, and San Angel Inn. But then again I couldn't just go with three.

Everyones' responses are making me feel good that I made wise choices for ADR's for my July trip with my girlfriend lol. I haven't been to WDW since 2004, and I don't really remember that much. I remember eating at 50's Primetime, Tony's at MK, and Chefs de France (or Bistro..not sure which). A lot of your choices involve Ohana and Cape May Cafe. I'm looking forward to those!!

For y'all, I'd say Shula's, Ohana, and Liberty Tree Tavern. I think that is a good mix. Hmmm...for me, I'd say Citrico's (because I haven't been), Artist Point (because I need to go back) and the Chefs de France (upstairs - haven't been.)

Oh, gosh...I need to plan some Disney meals soon...

Let us know what you decide! So, you'll have to all come to consensus? Will everyone be opinionated? Or will you split up?

Via Napoli would be on my list

Boma and Biergarten are on my must-do list.

O'hana
Biergarten
O'hana (can I vote for it twice??)

seriously though, I know you said no breakfast, but the breakfast at Cape May was AMAZING!! You should do a breakfast! =)

Our top two are Bluezoo and Il Mulino. More adult atmosphere, good food, and excellent service(never been to Shula's). Top 3 Disney Resort signatures in order: Citricos, Flying Fish, and Jiko........definitely try something new. Have fun!

we always do teppan edo, san angel inn, and ohana

Only 3 - so much pressure.

Liberty Tree Tavern
Tusker House
Hollywood Brown Derby

Mine would be California Grill, Flying Fish, and Turf Club. I think those 3 have been where I have had the 3 best meals I have ever eaten in the entire park. If Fulton's had not changed they would be in there somewhere, but alas, they are no longer in the running.

Jess, Kona and Ohana are not very similar at all. I do not think you would feel as though you were eating the same meal at all. I would say that the luau and Ohana are a lot more similar as far as the food goes. Kona has really good food but it is just a restaurant. There is no show, and it is not family style serving.
We like both 50's Prime Time and Tonys. The 50's Prime Time reminds me of diner food. To me this is not a bad thing. I happen to like diner food. It is a fun meal. We both really like Tonys too. I know some ar not fans of Tonys but we have been very happy with it the last few years. Neither are signature dinning but then again they are not trying to be.

We like 50's and Tony's also. Also agree that Kona is not like Ohana. We try to eat at completely different restaurants every trip so definitely try somewhere you have not been.

I'm not a Tony's fan, we just didn't have a good experience. My daughter's chicken was burnt (picture below), and I like things cooked with sauce, not sauced afterwards. I feel that the food is a little dry because of how they cook it. My husband would probably tell you that I like to be hit over the head with oregano, and that's why I didn't like it. Things were spiced very mildly, so if you prefer subtle flavor, then this could be a great place for you. I will say that the service was good, atmosphere charming, and dessert was fantastic there.

I agree 100% with what Scrappy said about Kona & Ohana. Kona has really good food, but it is just a restaurant. There isn't much pizzazz unless you just love being at the Polynesian in general. Breakfast is Kona's "wow" meal in my opinion.

Thats tough....Sanaa, Jiko and hmmmm, Teppan Edo...Hard to pick only 3!
