All the restaurants in DT Disney are pretty noisy. Your best bet for food quality and atmosphere would be upstairs at Wolfgang Puck but it is still a bustling place.

For somewhere quiet and truly different, with superb cuisine and interior and excellent wines not available anywhere else in the states (for the most part), I would recommend Jiko. Boma next door is a zoo but Jiko is elegant and more subdued. It is of course, the signature restaurant of the Animal Kingdom Lodge, nowhere near DT Disney.

I have had lovely meals at Portobello but it is also quite loud...on purpose I believe.

I haven't tried the new Todd English restaurant at the Swan or Dolphin, but that would be less frantic as well. The higher end, haute cuisine restaurants will have few or no kiddies as a rule.
