Yeah, now that I'm on a decent computer and can quote or mutli-quote without an act of congress, CONGRATS Liesa! Cool deal!
Thanks!! More to come this Sunday!
I seem to remembert hat the announcement was that it will be a set meal, not a buffet. So I could imagine the mushroom soup being part of that... But I do agree that it would be not the same as what it was and I am very sad about it.
That's almost even worse. Limited choices might be just as bad and a multitude of mediocre ones. But, yes, I can see that old favourite on there. It just seems to random and out of of place. Why not a new venue in Germany? I mean? A story supposed to be set in the German forest somehow being forced into the US West?? I don't get it....
I loved my meal at the Boathouse, food was great, service was great and if you go for a little walk through the outside part they have some really cool vintage boats parked there. Looking at the boats is possible even if you are not eating there I think. Michael has eaten at Morimoto's a few times and he always really liked it! It's a shame that you are missing Orlando Magical Dining Month by being there in October, not September. A number of the DTD restaurants have some really nice offers for that!
I saw that Festival somewhere online. Sounds fun- but maybe meant more for locals? Too bad, though I'm missing it. The Boathouse vintage boats sound fun to take a look at. Maybe I'll have time this trip! What did Michael get that he liked at Morimoto?
Ah! We have one for our next trip. I am still not totally decided if I want to spend that much money on brunch since we are currently saving for a big trip to Hawaii, so will be interested in your opinion a lot!
I confess it is a big wad, but I am going into this trip knowing I have some more pricey places lined up. The TIW card should help.
I remember being totally shocked by the prices when the Tuto Gusto Wine Cellar first opened. So I have never been that interested in it. But I have heard good things about it! And I just looked at the menu and thought that those paninis might make a nice relaxed lunch at Epcot... Looking forward to hearing a current review on it!
Oh dear! The menu looks reasonable enough, I after F&W, I can't imagine getting a lot other than a small plate and a glass of wine. I am excited to be reviewing this place!
Lovely, lovely picture!!! Sanaa is really a great place. I only have eaten there once so far, but we have a reservation there for lunch on our last day of the trip with Michael's CM friend and she usually gets a nice discount there, so that makes it even greater!! It was one of two restaurants that I had put on the list as a must eat for our upcoming trip (the other was a date night at Flying Fish).
Thanks!! And yes, discounts certainly make the price easier to swallow. I in turn will be interested to hear your review of FF. I was less than impressed.
Good reasoning! That would be a new restaurant for me as well. We had thought about it for this trip, but decided to try Jungle Skipper Canteen instead. Maybe I should try to add a Plaza reservation for another day...
My kids hated Skippers because they were too serious to play along. Ah well.
I can't do all the ADRs I want to, so may do it again in May with Mom.
I know how much you have been looking forward to it! I hope it lives up to your expectations!!
Me too!! LOL!! At the very least, I"m excited to photograph it. :yes:
We are going there as well! I wanted to book SciFi Dining but then they changed the menu and I was not happy and looked around and realised that depending on what you order, lunch at HBD would not be that much more, so we decided to go with it! I have only eaten there twice and both times the experience was a bit off (but the food delicious), so I hope three times will be the charm! But I was thinking of you and your Grandma when I booked it. I might even think about ordering an Apricot Sour in your and her honor.
I love it in there! Much quieter and chaotic than the other places at DHS. I need a quiet break in the day. The Cobb, if you enjoy that kind of salad, is EASILY splitable AND I *think* you can order a half size. Don't quote me, but I think so. Perfect for lunch.
I've had attentive service both times I've been there, and last time my server went above and beyond in asking for the apricot brandy for my cocktail. Nice touch! I hope you score a nice visit this time!
If you order one... post a photo and let me know!
Citricos is one of my never beens, too. However, it does not appeal to me at all for some reason. Maybe your review will convince me to try it!
I love how the DIS can open up options for people. I don't think I'd have considered several of the places I'd been to without reading others' reviews.
Ah, I would love to go there, but always am scared away by the price. Maybe I need to look at our plans and just throw it in somewhere as a possibility...
I think you should!
