My husband, myself, DD-9 (who was not happy to hear that she would have to be ordering from the children's menu) and DD-5 visited Disney from 11-18 to 11-25. It was very cold most of that week especially Tuesday and Wednesday but we had a great time espeically due to some great dining experiences. Here are our dining reviews.....
11-18: We arrived just in time to check in at the Beach Club resort and take a quick peek at our room before heading over to Flying Fish on the boardwalk for dinner. It is a really beautiful restaurant with seating available around the glass enclosed kitchen. I enjoyed a glass of red wine and shared the cheese plate with the family as my husband and DD-9 had casear salads for appetizers. Our plate had 5 or 6 cheeses with honey comb, raisins on the vine and one other accompaniment that I can not recall. They all were very good. The salad also was good but how much can you say about a casear salad. For an entree' I had the potato wrapped snapper and my husband had the oak grilled atlantic salmon. Both were very good especially the red wine butter on the snapper. DD-9 also had the salmon prepared exactly as my husband's but a smaller portion as it was the children's catch of the day. This was perfect for my DD-9 who has sophisicated tastes but not a large appetite. DD-5 ordered the Mickey pasta but fell asleep on my lap before the order arrived. She did throughly enjoy it over the next several days that it sat in our room refridgerator asking for it very time we returned to the room. For dessert my husband and DD-9 had the chocolate collection (we paid oop for this meal so DD-9 would be free to choose whatever she liked from the menu). The chocolate mousse pyramid was a big hit (let's just say I was never offered a taste). My husband also like the chocolate strudel eating both his and DD-9's. I drank my DD-9's chocolate lemongrass tea but could not finish it as it was very rich. I also had an apple cake with cinnamon ice cream. I loved the ice cream but the apple cake was nothing special.
Overall grade: A
Comming up, day 2 at Epcot (Sunshine Seasons and Le Cellier) as well as breakfast from the Boardwalk Bakery.
