Self-Described food-snob here.
There's Victoria & Albert.....and everything else......
We're partial to (in no particular order):
- Swan & Dolphin Signatures are a cut-above Disney-run establishments.
a.) BlueZoo is the standout for their multiple whole grilled fish options. A hint of molecular gastronomy.
b.) Shula's is often considered the best steak at Disney. Oversized meat portions & a chocolate soufflé' that is superior.

- Capa atop Four Season. Tapas & Small Plates.

- Jaleo in Disney Springs. Chef Anders is a celebrity chef serving foods from his native Spain, including a few molecular gastronomy options that are his claim-to-fame.
- Only for brunch - CA Grill. The most civilized meal I have repeatedly enjoyed at Disney (that is not Victoria & Albert). Live music & an incomparable view.
- Disney Signatures are fine. But few offer dishes that an outstanding home cook would not be able to replicate. Mostly, because the high-volume simply prevents the same amount of 'love' that smaller kitchens can serve. That said, there are no Disney Signatures I avoid, but we simply arrive with lower expectations.
-- Rooms that are Uniquely Disney, food is 'secondary':
a.) Cinderella's Castle
b.) Sci-Fi Dine-In & 50's Prime Time. These places are not about the food.
c.) Sanaa - at AKLodge. Curry & live animals.
d.) Coral Reef. You're in an aquarium. Food quality is the concern for many.
Also, look at this tool, where you can Dine with an Imagineer or on the Savannah in Animal Kingdom Park
