This experience of yours sounded like our previous experiences there. They were always so bad with service but the last time was the straw that broke the camel’s back. We are very easy going and super gracious to wait staff, but this restaurant has always had exceptionally bad service in our experience.We thought our time there was the worst, but your scenario beats it. It took forever to be seated and once we were seated no one wanted to wait on us. This was the pattern all night. We constantly had to wave people down and ask for things. Wave someone down for waters. Wave someone down for menus. Wave someone down to place our order. Then our food came out at random times. Wave someone down for refills. Cold food...hot food. Wave someone down to order dessert. It was just terrible and the food didn't taste very good either. When we asked each person who our server was no one could answer and didn't seem to care we didn't have one assigned to us.
I am really surprised you didn't get a little something taken off your bill. We only complained to the last person who waited on us. We told them how ridiculously long we had been there and that we might miss Fantasmic because of it. She said I bet there will be plenty of seats. :-(
Coral Reef belongs on my list too.During our last visit, we had several restaurants that tried to seat our party of 7 at a table for 6; Coral Reef was one of the offenders. Instead of finding a table for us to sit together, they split the group up. Our food was not very good. The wait staff got snippy when we tried to tip with cash (we were on the DDP). Their poor service ruined our last night in Disney.
We have never been to CRT for dinner.I love reading this post - interesting to see people's thoughts on all of these places.
For me:
Via Napoli - nobody in my party was impressed. Service was kinda horrible. Not opposed to trying it sometime again in the future but it's been a few years since we last visited and I'm not rushing back.
CRT - Overpriced. Poor service. My Mom ordered shrimp and steak and mentioned to the waiter that the shrimp was very overcooked. The chef came out and basically argued with my Mom that the shrimp was cooked perfectly....
1900 PF - We compared the food quality to Denny's. Good service and character interaction with just mediocre food.
Hubby says:
The Wave - we went here for breakfast and perhaps something was off that day but many things at the buffet were empty. We ordered the mimosas and they were horrible and weak.

Where have you had bad enough dining experiences that you won’t go again? Or where have you gone that has just been consistently underwhelming enough that you’ve given up?
As for QSR - ABC Comissionary.Ohana dinner and Diamond Horseshoe dinner.
Which Wolf Gang Pucks? The original table service on the lake or the new one. The original one was actually run by Levy Restaurants and there were several reports where Wolfgang would show and was not pleased.We haven’t eaten at Chef Mickeys in 18 years but I have an ADR for the next trip with my DGS. He loves the character meals and we despise buffets! I’m considering reconsidering!
1900 Park Fare was terrible and I didn’t have high expectations.
Tony’s is another pass.
Wow Gang Pucks was terrible, it’s s no from us.
Haven’t tried Coral Reef and never will.
