Here's my tuppenceworth:

Spoodles - food okay but disappointed overall - possibly because I went with too high expectations
Chef mickey - not tried
1900 Park Fare - not tried
Le cellier steakhouse - visited many times, always a favourite
Garden Grill - not tried
Concourse steakhouse - not tried
Whispering canyon cafe - can be great fun with lots of interaction but depends on how busy it is; some people find it too noisy (not me!), we enjoyed the food here too
Crystal palace - I found this noisy and 'untidy' on our visit, food okay though
liberty tree tavern - not tried
alfredo in epcot - good on last visit, but that was years ago
chefs de france - good on last visit, but that was years ago
tony's - not tried
mama melrose - not tried (but friends disappointed)

I'm currently working on my ADRs too, so will be interested in what others have to say.

Spoodles - not been

Chef mickey - nice for character meal

1900 Park Fare - we hated breakfast at 1900 park fare - we felt claustrophobic and the noise level was intense.....i know there are people who love it, but i could never recommend the breakfast here....

Le cellier steakhouse - not been

Garden Grill - not been

Concourse steakhouse - not been

Whispering canyon cafe - we had very early breakfast here in August....the place was practically empty so the CMs were especially playful and the guests were too so it was lots of fun, but not too noisy.....i was surprised by how good the breakfast was....we ordered a la carte...the portions were HUGE and really good...

Crystal palace - we took my mom here for a character breakfast on her birthday in July (her 78th b-day).....we all really enjoyed it....the food selection was excellent, the character interaction was good and we were surprised that despite it being packed we didn't feel overwhelmed by the numbers of people there....i guess because of the very high ceiling...we really enjoyed breakfast here....a pleasant surprise, since we were expecting to hate it...

liberty tree tavern - not been

alfredo in epcot - not been

chefs de france - not been

tony's- not been

mama melrose - not been

it seems like we've barely eaten anywhere, but we really have.....just not the places you've picked...

Spoodles Really nice meal here. We loved the atmosphere which was quite informal and excellent for our DDs
Chef mickeyAlways like it here!
1900 Park Fare Not been
Le cellier steakhouse One of our favourites. We try and eat here every trip!
Garden Grill Not been
Concourse steakhouse Not been
Whispering canyon cafe Really loved the experience here - lots of fun but not I would guess if you are easily embarassed! The food was very average though on our visit.
Crystal palace Good selection of food, characters and I like the surroundings here
liberty tree tavernNot one of my favourite meals but we went on an extremely busy night (MVMCP) so this could have been why. Interestingly one of our friends was in the restaurant on the same night at a different table and had a fantastic meal, which goes to show how things can differ!
alfredo in epcot Not been
chefs de france Not been
tony's Not been but might do next trip
mama melrose Not been

 

[Merylj]

My favourites from your list are Spoodles and le Cellier.
We liked CP and Chef Mickeys for breakfast.
Le Chefs, Tony`s and Alredo`s great for atmosphere - food so so.
Mama Melrose was disappointing - but with great service!
Never been to the others on your list. If you can add the dining do so, it is great

We're hoping to do Crystal Palace for a group meal. I'd like to have a quiet meal somewhere a bit fancy for just me and Scott. I'm thinking Spoodles followed by Illuminations - would those who have been recommend it for a more "romantic" meal? Especially considering we like ou food very very PLAIN!

 

[Miffy2003]

I'm not sure that I would personally describe Spoodles as romantic, no. Romantic is very much a state of mind though

The Flying Fish was more what I would call intimate if you got a table for two, and it is IMO very romantic to be able to stroll around the lake after dinner. I don't know that you would call the food at FF plain though.

Umm, how about the Yaughtsman Steak House? I`ve never been but that is very posh! I think the food at Spoodles maybe won`t be plain enough and it`s quite a large busy restaurant so maybe not romantic.
Happy New year.

i would like to hear if anyone has eaten at garden grill,i was thinking of booking that for next year.

 

[princess jackson]

We have eaten at the garden grill recently, we are going again in april.

We liked it, the food is bought to your table, like liberty tree tavern, salad, bread.

Main course, turkey, veg, catfish, onions.

Kids, mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, and chips (fries).

Dessert, various cakes to share, kids get a cup cake and things to decorate.

Sorry can not remember everything we ate.

The restaurant turns very slowly and takes an hour to get back to where you started. and you can see people riding the land boat ride.

 

[princess jackson]

Resturants all booked, very nice CM 13 meals booked in one go.

 

[fizz13]

Well done to you, glad you got everything you wanted

Just wanted to give some input on this:

Chef Mickey's - Good Character Breakfast and buffet and all the characters come by your table so you can get plenty of photo's. Frees up time when at MK and other parks as kids not as anxious to have photo's taken with characters.

Liberty Tree Tavern - Traditional US Thanksgiving Meal. Pretty good. Can't go much wrong with Turkey, mashed potatoe & green beans. Also, lots of characters coming around your table.

Prime Time Cafe - We really enjoyed this on our Nov 2005 Trip. The food here was simple but among the best we found at WDW.

McDonalds in Downtown Disney next to Legoland - at least you know what to expect and this was the only place we found at WDW that did not have inflated prices.

Of course the best food is always found on a Disney Cruise lol.
