I'm with you on Storyteller's. Overall, I've had good food and good service there. I like the Corn Chowder.

Another place that has not been mentioned in this thread is Hook's Pointe in the Disneyland Hotel complex. Because of it's "hidden away" aspect, one can usually get in pretty easily. I also like it because it tends to be quieter than most of the other eating locations.

Hook's Pointe has wonderful service, too.

If you like fish...try their salmon sometime. It's yummy

I second the recommendation for Jazz Kitchen. Easily the best restaurant on-property that you needn't rob a bank to pay the check. I've eaten there dozens of times, and have never had a less-than-delicious meal. (Um, try the soups ... don't think, just do it).


Everything else is just bleh. Storyteller's was good ... once upon a time, heheh. Trattoria also slid seriously downhill. I don't know if these restaurants ever recovered, and I'm not giving them any more of my time and money to find out.

Catal is usually good, but getting toward the expensivo side. Tortilla Jo's ain't bad ... but pretty expensive for Mexican food.


Don't go anywhere near Naples.



The Cafe Orleans in Disneyland is just about the best in-Park food. Other than that, don't expect anything good inside the theme parks.

Jazz Kitchen isn't really any good if you have a vegetarian in the group. Last time I was there they didn't have a single entree that was vegetarian without modification.

That may have changed though.

It really depends want you want to spend and what you expect for the money.......so darn may choices in and around the Resort area. My favorites are Jazz Kitchen (a bit pricey if you to have it all), Rainforest Cafe (for the atmosphere) and of course Napa Rose's Lounge (which you can do, if your not going all out).

[Snowflake]

Well good (and yummy) suggestions!

I may have to rethink the no car idea. I just can't see us dining in the Italian Restaurant in the DoubleTree more than once. If it were me, alone, I'd try the steak house in the Disneyland Hotel (that's where it is, right?) I'm craving a nice rib-eye or something like that. With a vegetarian in tow, this is not a likely scenario (though she does eat fish)

[Alex]

Oh, if seafood is acceptable vegetarianism then Jazz Kitchen should be fine.

[innerSpaceman]

Ugh, your friend is NOT a vegetarian if she eats the flesh of animals. Sheesh.


Does she eat animals with beaks, too, or just with gills? Either way, she can now dine splendidly at the Jazz Kitchen!

Ugh, no kidding, she used to be vegetarian, when I told her I was investigating spots, she piped up, oh, I eat fish and shellfish! Sorry all!
