Romantic Dinner for Two?

We did the California Grill on our Disneymoon! It was fantastic, and we timed it so we could watch the fireworks from the top of the Contemporary....very romantic!

I don't know how a special diet would work, but for a honeymoon, I would think V&A is warranted. A memorable meal for a memorable occasion.

Artist Point is lovely, IMO right up there with California Grill in terms of food quality. We actually liked our Artist Point entrees better than those at California Grill, although CG won on appetizers and desserts.

I agree 100% with The Colonel. If you can afford it, Victoria & Albert's is the place to go! Very romantic with top-notch food (best in all of Disney, in my opinion) and attentive servers. It's not on the Dining Plan, so you'll have to pay out of pocket and it is quite expensive, but well worth it. You could easily spend $500 for dinner for two.

I wasn't sure about your food allergies so I did some research. I saw this on another website, "Guests with dietary restrictions choosing to dine at Victoria & Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa should call (407) WDW-DVNA or (407) 939-3862." It seems it would be possible to accommodate you with your food allergies.

If V&A is out of your price range, my second choice would be California Grill with the Wishes fireworks.

If your heart is set on Artist Pointe, then go for it. I've never had a bad meal there, and I actually liked their creme brulee better than V&A's.

I'm the old curmudgeon who says to skip California Grill. We found it over-priced and over-rated. I also think there are about a million other place to see the fireworks from that are nicer and places that the food is better.

However, if you choose California Grill I highly suggest trying to call in advance, not only for your allergies, but also to request a table that has a view of the fireworks and schedule your dinner for firework time. It's not worth standing on the "balcony" (AKA the hideous roof), but sitting at your table, watching them while eating and listening to the music might be pretty cool.

Otherwise this might be your view over the back of a high backed booth. Some "view" huh?

Artist Pointe has gotten some really good reviews on these boards lately so I'd probably go there if you're staying at Wilderness Lodge. Otherwise we LOVED Cali Grill on our anniversary last year. We didn't get a seat by the window, but we took our beverages out and enjoyed the fireworks from the roof and thought it was very romantic. Plus the food was incredible.

V&A is a prix fixe menu. In Sept 2014 it was $150 per person, plus $65 per person if you want the wine pairing (both of you do not have to get the wine pairing, though), plus some up-charges on some of the menu selections. Here's a picture of our menu to give you an idea on the up-charges:

Like I said before, I think Artist Pointe is good, too, and very convenient if you're staying at WL. Cali Grill is only a 5 minute boat ride away from WL. I think whichever one you pick will be fantastic because it's your Disneymoon!!!! It'll be magical!

Vic and Als meets all your requirements. As for food allergies, my wife has them. When I made our dinner reservations I gave them the list of items she is allergic to. When we showed up they had printed out a completely different menu for her. All alergies eliminated. She was able to order off of my menu if she wanted but she had as many items to choose from as any other diner. Top Notch!

If V&A doesn't work into the budget, my personal favorites for a nice and romantic place: Artist Point, Citricos, Narcoossee, Jiko, Yachtsman Steakhouse.

I am placing my vote for Narcoossee. Romantic and great food. GF has beautiful grounds to stroll thru after your meal or before. Oh and you can see fireworks from there also.

V & A is awesome,very romantic and can be extremely expensive in most peoples opinion. You can spend a pretty penny at Cali Grill & Narcoossee's also, they are two of our most favorite restaurants on property. Cali Grill can be loud, especially if you are seated over by the kitchen, but I love the kitchen booths to be able to watch the chefs do their magic with the food. Narcoossee's is more mellow & laid back. The Yachtsman is nice also with very good food. I'd say the Flying Fish also but I here that is going to be refurbed, but I forget when.

Yes, you get to keep the menu from V&A. It's personalized. It has your name on it, the date you're dining, and any event you might be celebrating. We were celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary. I believe the menu changes almost daily at V&A so anything you see on my menu might not be available when you go. But from what Mcheal posted, it sounds like your menu could be even more personalized.

That's awesome!
