Pros: The only signature restaurant at Animal Kingdom, and it’s brand spanking new. Very extensive menu.

Tusker House Restaurant
Pros: Lots of unique African inspired dishes as well as the opportunity to dine with Safari Donald and his friends. It truly is a pretty cool character dining experience.
