Victoria & Albert's   

Since opening its doors back in 1988 inside the Grand Floridian resort (pictured), the grande dame of Walt Disney World's restaurant scene has retained its status as Orlando's ultimate special-occasion dining locale. The domed ceiling, marble columns and plush velvet interior spawn an air of class and sophistication, and elegant touches like Frette linens, Riedel crystal and Christofle silver from France have placed the restaurant on the coveted AAA Five-Diamond Award list three years running. Courses are served by your own personal maid and butler, appropriately named Victoria and Albert, and a harpist entertains diners with soft music throughout the evening. The seasoned stewardship of Chef Scott Hunnel and his unparalleled prix-fixe menu (changed daily) regales gourmands with a meticulously customized seven-course meal of the freshest game, poultry, beef and fish, with each dish designed to complement the last. The $95 gastronomic adventure (additional $50 with wine pairings) may start with seared Hudson Valley foie gras over vanilla-scented brioche with Fuji apples and apple cider reduction, then go on to favorites like dayboat diver scallops over a polenta cake with Zellwood corn coulis and a trendy roasted red pepper foam, or herb-roasted elk tenderloin. His grand finale is the Kona chocolate souffle, a light-as-air creation that you can savor knowing every calorie is absolutely worth it. -- Faiyaz Kara and Pam BrandonInsider's Tip: For a truly special experience, consider reserving the Chef's Table (pictured).
