FF is one of the better Disney-owned restaurants, but if you're not on a dining plan, I would never choose it over bluezoo/Shula's/Il Mulino (or Capa, La Luce or Bull & Bear, for that matter). If you don't have any discount (such as TiW), FF is a poor value proposition. It IS good generally, but if the price is far above your normal comfort level, you're probably better off elsewhere.
And now, stay tuned for the anecdotes of why I am incorrect...
