Your favourite Signature meal - a poll!

Vote for your favorite Signature Meal at Walt Disney World!

My favorite so far has been Jiko, but I've also done Artist's Point and the Yachtsman Steakhouse.

Jiko is one of our favourite restaurants anywhere!
We've also done HBD - it was great but not worth 2 credits IMHO

I love California grill. The cast members are always nice, the view is beautiful and DH loves the fresh sushi. And you must like it as you listed it twice..

We love the California Grill! I have really wanted to try Jiko but we've not been able to work that into our plans yet. Hopefully I can sneak something in for our next trip since we'll be staying at Kidani Village.

Its almost a tie between Jiko and CG, but the view for the fireworks puts CG on top. Flying Fish runs second to that. I'll let you know how I feel about Narcoossees after dinner there on Thursday and I'm doing Citricos and Artist Point in June . . . say Eileen . . . will you be in WDW in time to have dinner with us on Thursday night?

Yachtsman Steakhouse has always been a special place for us. We went the first time on our honeymoon when it was recommended by a dining CM. We have been many times since and always enjoy the food and the service.

CG gets my vote because of the service and view, but I'd have to say that we had absolutely wonderful food and service at Jiko and Narcoossees as well. Flying Fish and Yachtsman Steakhouse were great, too, come to think of it!

Flying Fish gets my vote. But I love Yachtsmen, CG, and Narcoosees also. My jury is out on Artist Point, I thought it was okay but my family can't wait to eat there again. Citricos I won't bother with again and Victoria & Alberts seems too fancy for me.

We have had excellent meals at all the ones we've tried (which is all but Yachtsman and V&A.) Our two current faves are Flying Fish and Narcoossee's, but we gave FF the edge for this poll. I wouldn't be surprised if our list of favorites continues to change over time, because I think they are all wonderful restaurants!

I voted for HBD because that is the only Signature restaurant I have dined at. Jiko is on my list of possible ADRs for our next trip.

Ok, to be fair, I've only done one. But Jiko is amaaaaaazing. Yum. It was fantastic from appetizer to dessert and it had a lovely ambience that made it the PERFECT place to spend an evening on arrival day. Oh, and my parents reported that the wine was superb (give me three more years and I can check up on that).

I posted this on the other thread before the poll was started, but to add to the poll, we have done Artist Point, Cal Grill, HBD, and Jiko. They were all really good IMHO. Depends on what you're looking for really. We enjoyed the atmosphere @ Cal Grill, the view is spectacular, and the appetizers (flatbreads and sushi) were fantastic. HBD is one of our favorites as it is the only one we can visit for lunch. We've have excellent food & service there. I love that we can escape the busy park for a nice relaxing lunch @ HS - what a nice retreat. Jiko had wonderful food - really different items. I love their menu and I love AKL - it's a beautiful restaurant & resort. But Artist Point is still my favorite of the 4 we've tried - love the food and the service has been superb in our experience. Love that Smoky Portobello soup and that Berry Cobbler! And visiting Wilderness Lodge always makes me happy. So I am probably in the minority, but I voted for Artist Point.

But I haven't tried the others, so I'm not an expert. Hopefully I'll try at least one of them on the next visit if I don't cave and go back to Artist Point. I would say if I had the opportunity to eat at Victoria & Albert's though, I would pick that over any of the restaurants in a heartbeat. Maybe next year for our 20th

This was a hard question. My vote went to Yachtsman, because of the food. But as far as ambience goes I loved Narcoossee's they gave us a table right in front of the castle which was a great view of the fireworks, and went over and above to make us feel special. I also enjoyed CG, but not as much as the other two.

On our next trip we are trying Jiko and Artist Point, so it will be interesting to compare.
