I have seen some good reports on Skipper Canteen and the Chinese in Epcot recently so have booked them, and Yak and Yeti. Honestly I cannot see us doing 5 table service on site, and that will probably whittle right down. I am very much looking forward to a few offsite meals- Bahama Breeze is a must for us, the one opposite the outlet mall on Grand National was great in summer. The other will be another trusty chain such as Bonefish, Carrabbas, Longhorn or Outback.

Turf Club- was getting regular poor reviews on Tripadvisor up until summer, then it seems to have recently picked up again- probably hammered by the reviews and shook it up a bit? This is the problem, these restaurants as I have said before are up and down like a fiddler's elbow.

I know it's personal choice but the pork loin in The Wave is outstanding. However we have it on the steak setting as we aren't fussed on the pork setting. Never an issue.

Just remembered we never had a steak in the 3 weeks we were out there

We did haunt Bonefish though.

Oh, my Wife says the vegan option in the Turf and the Ale & Compass is divine even though she isn't vegan

We have a philosophy now of trying to give Disney as little money as possible.
We ate in Disney Springs quite a bit and also offsite where we find the food better and certainly cheaper.

Onsite nothing really has changed. the Restaurants are half empty as they have been all year. The food is ok but nothing really I would call exciting.
A Disney friend of ours coined the term for their food as 'safe'. Spot on.

What annoys both of us is the lack of fish. In most places all they serve is farmed salmon. Cheap and boring plus I loathe salmon albeit my Wife loves it.

No halibut, snapper, flounder, Mahi mahi, catfish etc . All served by Disney up to 2 years ago.

We love The Wave. Lovely food and still some exciting items on the menu

The Turf Club was our go to place. We only use it the last night now as the menu is 'safe' Who the heck serves fish with the head on and full of bones!

Ale & Compass. We like the food here. Pity every time we went for an 8.30pm reservation it was a 40 min wait. We walked out each time

Sanaa. Awesome. However we mix and match our dishes and eat at/or near the bar.

Grand Floridian Cafe. Excellent. The pork chop I had there was 100 times better than the fatty tough one I had in Narcoossee's in the Summer (which I refused to pay for)

Signatures are off our radar as I refuse to pay their prices and the food although good certainly isn't worth the cost.

Shame about Turf Club, has always been a visit while strolling down to Downtown. We had ok dinner this year.
Also agree with Signatures. Our holidays were as much about looking forward to Shulas, Yachtsman, FF etc. as the parks. No longer.
Our steaks in Longhorns this year were magnificent and so much cheaper.
Note your mention of vegan options, my son's fiance came with us and she was wowed by both the options and quality wherever we went.

I am going to try some of this vegan at Quick Serve. Apparently the vegan meatballs in the Star Wars quick serve are by far the best thing on the menu.

The plant based burger in Pop is excellent as well.
