Top 5 Disney dining without kids

This post is dedicated to a night out without kids or if you have older kids and want a little more grown up experience. This will consist of only one table service meals because the two table service meals will come later.

1. By a landslide LeCellier in the Canada pavilion inside Epcot is number one! This is probably the hardest reservation to get besides the castle. The place is very small and therefore not many tables available to reserve. Out of this world steaks and other entree's are the feature here and the atmosphere feels very non-Disney. There will still be kids here but the size and menu are for more mature palates.

2. I am going with Kona Cafe at the Polynesian Resort. It is a very casual atmosphere with terrific entree' options that offer a Polynesian flair. It is sitting next door to Ohana's so it is a little loud but the small quaintness takes over and you will feel very relaxed. The food is also excellent and offers a very complex selection.

3. Number three is going to surprise many people because it gets a bad rap on many rate and review boards online. The San Angel Inn is inside the Mexico pavilion at Epcot and I will have to say the food is only mediocre at best. There is a real consistency problem at this place because sometimes it is great and others not so much! If you get past that the atmosphere is second to none at Disneyworld dining. Go by and check it out and you will see how wonderfully amazing this place really is!

4. This slot goes to the Grand Floridian Cafe which is amazingly at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. This resort resonates with class and style and therefore all the restaurants here are worth the advanced reservation. This is definitely not the best this resort has to offer, but the two best are 2 table service credits. It has a nice selection of steak, fish, and chicken and of course ending a meal sharing chocolate fondue is always a nice touch.

5. Another undervalued restaurant in the Disneyworld dining experience is at the Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa. The Turf Club Bar and Grill is in an inconspicuous place and so the traffic is much less than the dining options in a theme park or on the monorail loop. Don't let it fool you though because it is a fantastic dining option. Their entree's are sensational and the appetizers are definitely above average. The desserts are typical Disney, but the ambiance is very solid for a 1 table service option.

There you have it! The top five 1 table service options on the Disneyworld dining option for couples with no children. The kids would probably still be OK at these locations it just wouldn't be their choice. The next post I will attempt to tackle my top 5 for 2 table service options.
