Where will you never eat again in Epcot

[gharter]

Went to Via Napoli for the first time a few weeks ago. It wasn't all that. No need to go back.

And Chefs de France has noticeable slipped. Much smaller menu and definitely not what it once was.

Sadly have to agree. We used to really enjoy dining there. Our last trip, the food was not bad by any means, but not what it had been.
And still waiting for Monsieur Paul to reopen.

There are no Nevers on my list.
Also, I would love to go to Space 220 again if I can get a reservation.

You will never eat at the Odyssey restaurant. It closed in 1994.

Chef's de France October 2021. We ordered filet mignon. Unsure of what we actually got, but whatever it was it was nasty and inedible. It was a total disappointment.

Coral Reef for us. We ate there a couple of times when our son was young because he loved looking at the fish. But the food was very mediocre (at best) and with the prices they charge, we finally stopped going. We haven't been in years and probably won't in the future unless we hear a lot of reviews saying it has improved.

As someone above mentioned, never is a long time, but one other place I won't be rushing to return to is La Cava del Tequila. I had heard so much hype about that place, and we'd never been able to get in without an insane wait. Last Dec, we finally go into the take out line with only about a 10 minute wait. Our bartender was so rushed, borderline rude and the drinks were not good. I don't even remember for sure which one I got, but I believe it was the cucumber margarita. My husband got one of the spicy ones and didn't care for it either. I've heard that the drinks used to be hand mixed, but that was not the case for the ones we received. They were an awful pre-mixed, very expensive mistake.

I wouldn't rule out any restaurants, but I wouldn't get a Grey Goose slushie in France again. I know this is a beloved drink, but I thought it was an overpriced Slurpee with no alcohol in it.

May I direct you to the superior slushie at the France pavilion, the Gran Marnier slushie. It's served in the permanent kiosk at the pavilion, just a few steps away from where the France F&W booth would be located.
Have one and you may instantly go for another. There will be no further questions about whether or not there was enough alcohol in it.

As far as places we won't return to, the restaurant inside the pyramid in Mexico. Such great atmosphere, such a disappointing menu.

Still can't believe that they can't come up with something permanent to use that building for after all these years.

Agreed. We paid a LOT of money for Le Cellier and it didn't WOW us at all.

That is sad to hear it used to be on my list of must dos. Then I couldn't get ADR for a couple trips

Space 220 was a one and done for me. Fun atmosphere (had to try it once!), but way overpriced for a chewy skirt steak, fast food quality fries, and tough lukewarm broccoli.

Never heard of it. Yuck.

MP. I don't think it has reopened yet and just as well. It tries to be a true fine dining experience with accompanying prices, but it jsut isn't.

I think with so many places it can be hit or miss. It depends on the server and who's preparing the food.

 

[Robbie Cottam]

pre covid I always had the dinning plan.
the cost was never an issue…. Just the food, service, and atmosphere

I suppose that is always true everywhere. But the one time we ate there, the food and service was avergae and the decor and lighting was absolutely uninspired. If this restaurant was positioning itself as true fine dining and charging fine dining prices, then I wouldn't have been so disappointed.

Me too. I always did the DD and I was shocked when I found out it's gone. We have paid OOP for a few meals here and there but even on the plan you know how much everything costs and I remember a few times thinking I would NEVER have paid that much for what I just ate.

100000% agree with you.

I wouldn't rule out any restaurants, but I wouldn't get a Grey Goose slushie in France again. I know this is a beloved drink, but I thought it was an overpriced Slurpee with no alcohol in it. And it is in the tiniest plastic cup.

I've seen pictures where it is piled high in the cup but mine wasn't like that. Meager portion. No alcohol. Fail. (I think I even said something to the server like, 'that's it?' because I'm like that. But they didn't fill it any higher.) The latest price I saw is $14.50 plus tax.

I had the orange slush and while it was good it was not worth the price at all!

Right...not worth the money. When I go we always stay in a DVC resort so I bring my own beer and generally get a Bloody Mary if I'm at a bar on site. Epcot has some great selections but I stay clear of the fruity stuff as it makes me sick.

It wasn’t even the taste because I don’t usually drink the liquor it’s made with. It was just overhyped for what I got and not worth the price

In 2019, we looked forward to trying La Cantina de San Angel, as we had always liked the San Angel Inn Restaurante. It was a bit disappointing. In Spring, 2021 we were back at the Restaurante, and thought the meal was better, along with the atmosphere.

Another no vote for Coral Reef.
I guess it's because we ate there when it was a designated place for those who wanted a quiet, romantic dinner. This was many years ago and before the dining plan, which I think dumbed down and homogenized the menus. It had the reputation of being exclusive and a romantic dinner destination for couples. NOW? We went there when the DP started, and it was crowded, LOUD with no ambience, except some fish in the aquarium. The accoustics were not designed for being Loud at all. It ruined the atmosphere of CR for me and my husband. It's too bad because we had no complaint about the food at all. We will never go there again.
We ate at Le Cellar once back when it was a very hard to get reservation. It was the one to get if you could. We loved the food and atmosphere. Haven't been back since, though. It would be sad if the quality of the steaks/food went downhill.
