We just returned last night - boy was Epcot packed on Sunday.
Thursday - Spoodle's (dinner):
We love this place. Service always good and a great place for kids. Chicken flatbread and lamb tzaziki app's were great; my gratin of scallops was good but not as tasty as I am used to (picky New Englander when it comes to seafood). The fettucini alfredo rivals Alfredo's at Italy pavillion.
We did Cape May buffet breakfast twice. Food was great both times but noticed a very slightly smaller hot food selection than a year ago. Characters were all over the place.
Friday - Sci Fi (lunch)
Had a good cajun catfish sandwich; everyone else had burgers. All were good.
Friday - Yachtsman Steakhouse (dinner):
I have always liked this place but was somewhat disappointed with my steak this time. They had a USDA prime strip on the menu for $45.99 - which I got (CM said they have it only a few months a year). I have to say it definitely was not worth the money. I have spent good money on steaks and several "name" steakhouses and this steak could could come not close to those others. I was disappointed. The appetizer of barbecued shrimp was great though. The others had barrel cut tenderloins which were very good. The CM was the best we had at any of the restaurants during our stay.
Saturday - Liberty Tree Tavern (lunch)
First time there. Was pleased with the service and was a nice oasis on a hot day in MK. I had the reuben which was unusual as it was served on molasses bread. Very tasty and unique. The rest got the salads with chicken and apples. Huge!
Saturday - Marrakesh (Morocco)
What a hidden jewel! Great service, great show and great food. We had one of those "feasts" which was soup to dessert. I was very pleased with the quality and quantity. The belly dancer was beautiful!
Sunday - Tusker House (late lunch)
Never seen this place so packed. Had the standard chicken sandwich, salads, etc. Nothing special, nothing bad. AK needs restaurants!
Sunday - Nine Dragons (dinner)
I've never seen Epcot so packed since its first year open. Unreal and not fun. I love Nine Dragons but you could tell that they were not ready for the onslaught of diners. People waiting in the lobby and outside to eat. Had the shank in spicy dressing, pot stickers and mongolian beef stick for app's; then had the honey sesame chicken, a steak dish and fried rice for dessert. This place is becoming my favorite Epcot restaurant. Everything was great.
Monday - California Grill (dinner)
My birthday. We had a beautiful window table. Had various app's (chicken flat bread, sashimi, etc.) I had the wild salmon on corn salad. The salmon was slightly overcooked although they told me it would be cooked no more than medium (and I happily agreed), but the corn salad and fingerling potatoes were great. Had the blueberry trifle for dessert along with the recommended wine pairing. Fantastic....and many martini's also!!!!
