Topic: Yak and Yeti to open

1	MPierce Wed 11/14/2007 2:09p	I know this really belongs in the Dining section, but it gets so boring over there. The Yak and Yeti will be opening today. I bet Denise will have a review on it before to much longer. Anyway here's a link over to the Disboard with menu, and prices. Let me be the first one to point out that under Food/Dining it saids American. It might taste great, but I was kind of hoping for an authenic taste of Indian, and Nepalese cuisine. I hope they don't dumb this place down before it even opens. Surprisingly the prices do not seem over the top to me.

4	bobbelee9 Wed 11/14/2007 4:43p	^^Maybe so, but it's not dull compared to what's offered in restaurants where I live. I hope to go to Yak & Yeti next summer.

6	jkayjs Wed 11/14/2007 7:43p	Thanks for the link MPierce. <<Food/Dining Type: American>> I'm guessing this is a typo as not much on this menu would fall under what I classify as American fare. Most of the food @ EPCOT is somewhat Americanized and is reported in many guides as such. So I'm sure this will be no different. I think there is a fair variety and some interesting items so we will definately give it a try before we label it. I hope to go when we are down in Dec. I'm sure by then there will be a gazillion reports but I may add my $.02 worth anyway.;)

Rather it is the decrease in variety, the difficulty in aquiring table service seats and some lowering of the food quality. If DL and DLP can offer variety and quality (at places where people do not stay as long), why can't WDW? Maybe because the main demographics are from the bible belt and mid west? Or is it simply cost cutting? I don't know.

A few of the trayslide places are at least modestly different, but mostly its Theme Park Standard. DCA used to be interesting, but now is down to a couple of things vaguely out of the ordinary, plus a lot of Theme Park Standard. The resorts have: good (but unadventurous) steakhouse and seafood restaurants in DLH; a "hotel standard" plus a great place in GCH; a "hotel standard" plus a mediocre japanese place in PP. DTD has a couple of pretty good places, and a lot of places you could find in your local mall. I guess I don't see Anaheim as being such a fine purveyor of quality and variety in dining.

But for quality dining variety, I find the Napa Rose, 55, Hook's Point, Storytellers, Yamibuki, Catal, Ralph Brennan's, the Vinyard Room, Trattoria, Blue Bayou, Tortilla Joe's, Naples, HOB offer great quality and variety. Goofy Kitchen is the best character meal we have eaten at in DL, WDW or DLP. So different strokes. WDW has Epcot going for it. Take Epcot out of the equation, and I really feel DL wins in the variety stakes.
