It has been quite some time since I've written a review, but I just had to write this one. I dined with friends last weekend at Tiffins for an early dinner before the Princess Half Marathon the next day. It was my first time to try Tiffins but I look forward to being there again. The staff was phenomenal - from cast members that chatted with us about the history of the building and theming of the dining rooms to our server who was very personable and gave great recommendations. The food was some of the best I've ever had on property - I chose the wagyu strip and crispy fried cauliflower and the whipped cheesecake for dessert. I just felt all of the food was very thoughtful - with care taken on flavors to compliment each other. I will say that some may find the portion small on the strip loin. Wonderful service, wonderful food - can't wait to go back.

We have eaten at several upscale restaurants at WDW such as the California Grill, Artist Point, Narcoossees, The Yachtsman Steakhouse, Le Cellier, etc.
But none of them are as good as Tiffin's. The service was great and the food was excellent. It was also very quiet, which is unusual for some places at WDW.
Pros:
Excellent Service and Food; Very quietCons:

We ate dinner at Tiffins and the food, atmosphere, and service were wonderful. I loved that our server explained the restaurant and theme as she was seating us. My mom had an electric scooter and that wasn't a problem at all. They have me a special dessert plate because it was my birthday as well as some extra chocolate bars with coconut on them to go because my wine took a little longer to come out. Next time I go I will ask if I can look in the other dining areas because the decor is wonferful.

It is terrific that Disney has added a signature dining experience within AK. We tried Tiffins on our visit last month and truly enjoyed the meal. Our server was wonderful - very helpful with menu recommendations and attentive yet not overbearing. My husband had the octopus appetizer and said it was one of the best he's ever tried. For the main course, he had the whole fried fish. While I found staring at an entire fish to be a bit unnerving, he said it was delicious and enjoyed every bite. I had the pork belly ramen. This was my first time having pork belly and it was delicious! We will certainly be looking forward to returning to Tiffins on future visits.

My husband and I started with the Tom Kha Soup. While it was delicious it only came with two shrimp. I would have preferred some mushrooms as well. I would love to get this recipe and give it my own flare. My daughter had the kids Grilled Beef. The portion was very tiny and it was burnt even though we asked for medium-well. We ordered the Wagyu Striploin and House-smoked Brisket. This was cooked beautifully. We shared this dish. We told the server about the overcooked kids meals and told them not to bother making a new one. They did come with a fresh plate despite our request which we turned away because she had already eaten some of our steak. Instead of just crediting the meal they offered us a fast past for Everest. I guess they can't give one's for Pandora. Given that it was late we didn't want to walk all the way over to Asia and I'm a little scared of roller coasters to begin with. We ended up giving away our fast past, so someone else benefited from our kids poorly cooked meal. I've had better fine dining before, so my rating reflects that.
Pros:
Great location near PandoraCons:

This meal was definitely not worth 2 dining options each! Did not enjoy much about it at all. Food and atmosphere were very disappointing. The next day we did La cacienda de san Angel in Epcot and thoroughly pleased.

I LOVED this place! We started in the bar area and it was awesome. Great drinks and gluten free churros! Really an oasis in the very hot weather. I would come back just to have a drink and a snack. The restaurant is really neat and the food was just delicious. We don't spend a lot of time normally in Animal Kingdom, but would definitely make a special trip to come back here.

My family of four ate at Tiffens on 8/11/17. It is the best meal we have ever had on property. We had the tenderloin and brisket, venison and swordfish. The were all great. Beautiful atmosphere and our server Christian was fantastic. I Would highly recommend eating here.

I got the Steak and Brisket, the steak was ok but the brisket was literally a slab of fat. My wife got the Cauliflower as a side and that too was oily and over cooked. The water was room temperature. The soup was fishy (shrimp soup) but not supposed to be. The kids got a salad from the allergy free menu that was still listed as containing Walnuts?!? The waiter was rude and obnoxious. The team leader at least tried to make it right but I didn't want free fast passes I really wanted Signature Service and Signature style food. A year of planning for a dinner that was very forgettable.
I would rather go to almost any other restaurant on property.

We dined here June 8, 2017
One of the best meals I have ever had.
I was a bit off balance eating this fabulous meal while thinking of fastpass return times or when rivers of light started. I wish I could have come to this restaurant relaxed and focused on the meal with time to enjoy the experience of this beautifully crafted meal. After all - this dinner deserved to be the star of the evening - not a sideline with flights of passage, Avatar, Expedition Everest, and the rest of the park distracting my thoughts and senses. However, as a vacationeer I didn't have the luxury of coming to the park just for dinner. With that said let me tell you about the meal....
I started with the grilled octopus. It was so tender and the charred flavor was delicate not over powering but so flavorful. The cheeses on the cheese board were perfectly selected with different textures and flavors. I also tasted the bread service with 3 sauces, each one delicious in a different way. I ordered the Scallops for my entree. They were seared perfectly on both sides without overcooking. They actually melted in my mouth with the toasty seared flavor on my tongue. My only complaint is I really wish there were three more on my plate. My daughter had the whole fish and it was the best presentation of a whole fish I have ever seen. It was also so delectable I'm lucky she gave me a taste. My husband had the striploin and short rib cooked to perfection.
The meal, wine, and service were all perfect. I do recommend eating here because the food is superb. However, once again I can't help but wish I could visit this restaurant without the distraction of a theme park.
