OK, so it is not the most ideal place to dine if you want to have an intimate, romantic dinner, except if you are a couple who happen to be taking the kids to Disneyland. Nicely, Naples is not within the actual park itself. Located along Downtown Disney row, Naples is not too fancy to be elegant yet not too ordinary.

Though I do put Naples as an Italian choice, it really is not very, very authentic Italian- rather another "California-style" eaterie. Yet , what you get on the plate (not in the shape of Mickey Mouses's head, thankfully!) is tasty as Italian would be neat to see tehe menu items listed in Italian

Hours:
Sun-Thu 11am-10pm
Fri-Sat 11am-11pm

Favorite Dish: Pizza Margerita!!- tomato and basil
(pomodoro e basilico)

Either a tasty option for the family or for a romantic date, Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen will leave you palette peppered and pleased. Located in Downtown Disney, the Jazz Kitchen has been a staple to the now attractive dining city of Anaheim.

Just steps away from the Grand California Hotel, the Jazz Kitchen is where to go for your settle your craving for catfish, excellent crab cakes and to fix your sweet tooth fixin' for a beignet or rich bread pudding (my fave). If you are coming with the kids, some safe choices is an order of cornmeal crusted chicken strips, in keeping with the New Orleans flavor, instead of offering the typical hamburger.

Perhaps the Jazz Kitchen should be called the Grand Chateau because of the splendid, immaculate interior of the dining rooms and patio areas. By far, this is the magnificent place to dine in the immediate Disney area. Catch festive live music especially on weekends and nightly.

3 course meals are less than $30- including dessert!

This is a restaurant that just opened so they are still working out the kinks. It's a nice quiet place that's decorated in a tropical style.

The food was great. The food took awhile to get to us. But our waitress, Pavithra, more than made up for the delay by being nice. The food is very authentic. It's spicy. It's tastes like a very good home cooked meal.

They also deliver for free within 10 miles of the restaurant. You can order ahead too if you look at the online menu: http://www.wadiyausa.com/menu.html

In addition to the Sri Lankan dishes, they also serve some Indian dishes like Tandoori chicken.

Favorite Dish: I had the vegetarian Kothurotti(chopped flat bread stir-fried with carrots, onions, spices and egg. It was great very spicy and flavorful.
My sister had the Biriyani (long grain rice flavored with saffron and cooked with lamb, chicken, veggies, or shrimp) .
The Lumprais(rice boiled in stock, and mixed with meat and/or vegetables and then baked in a low oven after it is wrapped in a banana leaf) is good too.

They have lamb, beef, chicken, and vegetarian options for most of their dishes.
We also got a lamb curry on the side. It was nicely marinated and very tender.

The presentation was great with the rice coming molded into nice shapes and garnished with leaves.

For desert you can try the juggery cake, woodapple ice cream, or caramel cream.

We've never been disappointed in the many many times ( at least 6 visits ) we have eaten here on our vacations. We usually start everday in Anaheim at Mimi's for breakfast.
Across the street from Disneyland, you can fill up with good for you ( not a greasy spoon joint ), generous portions of food to last you most of the day.
We haven't eaten lunch or dinners here, but the menu looks appetizing and if as good as breakfasts we're sure to try at some point, but we really enjoy Casa Garcia's for dinner ( also see my review )
Mimi's ( Anaheim ) decor is themed. One room being Tuscany, another New Orleans, another Country-style and so on.
Nice, clean, comfortable, friendly and family oriented.

We happen to be in this neighborhood and grabbed a bite to eat. To our surprise, the food was pretty good and we enjoyed a great glass of wine. I enjoyed the mushroom ravioli. It was delicious! My boyfriend ordered the Fettuccini Gorgonzola which was also very tasty. Located in Anaheim, it's no where near Disneyland. It's the northern part of Anaheim.

This is where you can have Breakfast with Minnie and friends. The food is so-so. I was alittle disappointed. The best part is not the food but that the kids can take pictures with the Disney characters. You dont have to wait in line and they come to your table. My son loved that. Personally I preferred Goofys Kitchen even though it was alittle more expensive.
The food here is your basic American style breakfast, eggs, bacon, potatoes, waffles, etc...

Favorite Dish: I didnt really have a favorite dish from here. But I did like the Disney characters coming to our table. I dont think I would come here again. Once was enough. I wasnt that impressed with the food.

This is walking distance from Disneyland Anaheim's main gate (approximately 5-10 minutes walk).
Compared to other restaurants (besides fast food) I find this cafe is value for money. They serve main courses like grilled meat and pasta. Deserts looks delicious but I didn't have any.

The service standard is different - on one occasion we did not get much attention from the server and food was served very slow. One another occasion we were served better and we have out food served fast.

I do find the food quality better than average and definitely worth the walk there than having average food in Disney at the similar price.

Favorite Dish: Jambalaya, try any other chef recommendation too.
Generally the pastas here are delicious as the meals are individually prepared.

the overland stage restaurant is located next to the sheriton park hotel on harbor blvd. this southwestern themed restaurant serves american fare and bar-b-que at moderate prices. because of it's proxminity to the convention center it is a good place to meet with business associates.
