Take Heart eeyore45, the Souffle will be around for a long time ... and as long as I'm alive ... there'll always be enough Gran Marnier available for you! :thumbsup2


:goodvibes

I'm there!!! :cloud9:

and just curious, when should we plan our Oct '07 nosh around the world? :stir:

[Nancyg56]

For the Chef's Table figure 4-4½ hours.

For dinner????? I imagine it must be something like dying and going to heaven! For now I must live thru MR D and the K-man.....

[Nancyg56]

This was so much fun! Thanks to the both of you for taking the time to present a well thought out review. Fun, food, romance, suspense and magic. What more could I ask for?

[My2Cinderellas]

Totally off topic, but I can't help myself: :guilty: Many years ago I was a waitress. On Mother's Day, I took a huge table, a family of 17, with the manners of goats. Self control was not part of their make-up. I ran for at least two hours. We did not add a gratuity at that time, so after I cleaned up the monumental mess, I gathered up my $3 from the table. My entire afternoon devoted to a crew of rude slobs for three dollars, which I then turned over to the busgirl.

Been there, done that. Sucks, doesn't it??? Mother's day was one of the few days a year we all pooled tips, because of idiots like this. Made it easier to tip the kitchen staff and bussers too, their cut came off the top, since not all the servers believed in tipping the bussers :sad2: . A hotel restaurant where I worked had a mandatory gratuity on parties of 8 or more, but would waive it if the person making reservations asked to not have it tacked on. There was a local trucking company that had a standing lunch reservation and would bring anywhere from 6-20 guys in, and 1 of the 3 guys who signed the check would add 10%, the other 2 stiffed us completely. The hotel management was more interested in keeping the trucking company's business than retaining wait staff. You could make good $$ working evenings and banquets there, but the breakfast/lunch shift was awful.

to stay on topic - to Mister Disney and K-Man, after you've had that Southern feast, wander on out to the midwest in July, I'll throw some Iowa Chops (2" thick bone in pork chops) on the grill with fresh picked sweet corn and heirloom tomatoes and other down-home farmstyle goodies. Not haute cuisine, but darn good all the same! But you have to bring a coffee-bong to go with dessert, that thing looks cool!!!

Thanks for sharing your fabulous dinning experiences with us - I get to indulge my inner foodie by living vicariously through your postings!

[jezaduck24]

As V&A 'virgin' waiting for our first visit in September I was so happy to see the two of you made it back for another visit of gastronomic hedonism! While reading I recalled our engagement dinner at WDW that changed the way I look at food and brought me closer to my new career path in the culinary industry. (Ever see 'Top Chef'? I'm much like Dave - starting over doing something I've loved for ever and have never tried.)

Hubs and I still remember our server, Adel, at Jiko in August 2001. He had been a sommelier and took the time to educate us both on red wines. Up to that point I was a fan of the sweetest, crispest Sauvingon Blancs if I drank wine. More often than not 'adult beverages' for me meant 'Jaques et champagne Americaine' and I had no idea of what my palate really wanted. Adel paired our Duck Firecrackers and Fillet with a beautiful Pinot Noir after listening to our preferences on taste. (Oh and those cardamom-chocolate beggars purses.....*sigh*) This evening opened up a new mutual interest for the Hubs and I. We've gone from our 'Jaques' to issues of Wine Spectator and cookbooks coming our of our ears. I still giggle inside when I see my big furry Georgia boy swirl a big Cabernet in his glass and draw it across his palate when we try a new bottle.

Sending you both a big vat of 21 year old Balsamic, trod on by a retinue of doe-eyed Italian virgins. Oh, and a copy of AB's Greatest Hits. NO UNITASKERS!!! :thumbsup2

[jezaduck24]

Mr. Disney, know that 'Harry's Farmer's Market' AB shops at? That's our grocery store. No kidding, really. It's owned by Whole Foods but is still known as Harrys because it's something of an ATL institution. Every time we go to do the grocerying I have these little innocent daydreams about meeting AB at the mushroom bins and ending up as one of his motley crew. I think Cocoa Carl may be doing some of his community service hours gathering shopping carts in the parking lot.

If you're ever in the ATL you must make a pilgrimage. :)

Thank you so much for allowing us food voyeurs to experience such a special night with an amazing couple.Your generousity never ceases to amaze me. Just from the small glimpse you've allowed us to see of your lives, I can see that you are wonderful people who truly love each other.

....Now K-man, about that rich brother............. :p

[D&R love Disney]

After catching up with reading 6 pages all the while listening to Disney music on line I can't believe it's over.

This is your best review ever and I love the last picture of the 2 of you and I notice the pirate: shackle's too! K-Man I've already warned Rick about his week in chains with the pirate:

Not sure how I'll manage but I will find a way to join you on a noshing tour through the F&W festival in the future.

Oh, and that cheese course looked to die for! I know I'd pass on the sweetbreads though :crazy2:

Get BEHIND Mister Disney!

[mckryan]

The Foi Gras literally melted in our mouths. The Fuji Apple Tart was INCREDIBLY crispy.....I was struck by the fact that it remained crispy, even when it was just about swimming in the cider reduction sauce.

I splurged and had this in February. Melt in your mouth describes it perfectly. I insisted DH try some, and then I had to slap his hand away because he wanted more. Nope...all for me!! We have raved about that ever since our trip, and now I can't wait for another opportunity to enjoy V&A's foie gras.

[PoohHappens]

Great review guys, I would love to go sometime. I had a couple questions about coffee? My husband is a fanatic and picky (but will drink anything including nescafe at disney to ward off the headache if he has to). What is with the Choc full o' nuts ???? What is that and do you drink it regularly or just travel with it. Also that coffee bong, does the coffee steep in the upper and then strain to below. Kind of like a french press with gravity instead of a plunger???? Also when are you coming for the meal I offered last year, with the brie and smoked salmon on bread, potato leek soup and the beef tenderloin etc....... ;) Thanks again for the wonderful review, it really brightened my day.

PS I do have one other question re: the picture in white T-Shirts but not sure it is appropriate...................

Thanks for the entertaining read and wonderful pics! This thread has brought a new meaning to food porn!! :rotfl2: :lmao: :thanks:

Thanks to the Food Network,Top Chef, and the DIS I have become a foodie as well and now actually know what you are all talking about!!!

I grew up with a dad who was a meat and potatoes guy and Chinese to me was the disgusting stuff out of a can. :crazy2: Thanks to DH my dining experiences have expanded. Although, brains, pancreas, or whatever it was, and moldy cheese just doesn't sound so appetizing.

[orljustin]

I always enjoy a chef's table review, but it's hard to pick out the food posts from the chitchat in this thread. Any possibility of posting one long review, or a website page or something?

I'll see what I can do about cutting and pasting strictly the food review into a single thread for you.

[pennyplanner]

Thanks guys! That was thoroughly entertaining. :goodvibes

I will be at Disney in December on business and would like to dine at V & A's but I'm not sure how much I would enjoy it alone. I think I would miss not sharing something soooooo wonderful with my husband!

As for sweetbreads, I had them at a little restaurant in Amsterdam way back before the kids were born. Wow! They were excellent. Fabulous taste and texture! And yes, I knew what they were when I ordered them.

Looking forward to your next reviews! It's supposed to rain until next week here in Connecticut. Since you two are so fond of those chains ;) , chain yourselves up to the computer and create!

Fondly,

You guys are amazing.

I have enjoyed your reviews so much. You deserve the "Best Review Ever" award.....if there was one! For me the whole thread has been great. I love that you share and for a time I can live vicariously through your lives. Thanks for all your efforts.

You may even be responsible for a impromptu mini vacation in June. I have my fingers crossed. Wish me luck!

One more question, How did the Souffle Gran Mariner compare to the Bistro? Did it fall like you thought the Bistro's should have? OK, thats two ?? :rotfl:

Great report! Enjoyed it !

Thank-you Mister Disney and Mr. D's K-Man for another awesome report :thumbsup2 It is easy to see as others have said the wonderful love and admiration you have for one another. Now I only wish I was going in October so I could join up on the Nosh Around the World 2006.

[K and K's Mommy]

Just another thanks for taking the time to do all the reviews! I've loved them all! princess: :cheer2: :bride: :rotfl2: (My DD picked the stamps.)

You guys rock my world! I am hoping to get Chefs Table in April even if I have to sacrifice many cheeky squirrels to do it. Your food porn is the best! Until April rolls around, I will have to settle for Napa Rose at the Grand Californian.

Sooooo glad this worked out for you.

[disneytraveler]

Mr. Disney and Kevin ,
Thanks for a wonderful ,sweet, report of your dinner at V&A. I am glad you shared the pictures and thoughts with us. I will be dinning there this summer
in September! :thumbsup2

For anyone interested: the physics of the coffee bong.

Water is placed in the bottom receptacle, ground coffee in the top one.
A spirit burner is placed underneath, the water boils and has no place to go but up and out -> into the top receptacle through the coffee where it stays to brew. In the mean time the burner is removed. The brewed coffee is now drawn down into the bottom receptacle (as a vacuum has now been created) and voila: Perfect Cona Coffee. Check out http://www.cona.co.uk/Business/Productsbusiness/BREWING.htm

The sytems have been around for ages, my mum used to use hers for dinner parties, fascinating process!

So now what's the physics with the Shackles!!???!???!

JJPenguin, Thank you so much for bailing me out here. :wizard: I certainly couldn't have explained it better. As for physics, I was very lucky that by RICH BROTHER was ahead of me in school and helped me as I struggled through Brother Mahoney's physics classes.

The physics of SHACKLES ... if I could figure that out ... I wouldn't be spending so much time in them. :rotfl2: :rotfl2: ... or would I?

NOW ... the physics of DESSERT ... that's a whole other story! :lmao: :lmao:

Would I need to take out a second mortgage to experience this magic? :wizard:

Honestly? even with the 30% tip because of the extra effort everyone put into our experience, the bill for the 2 of us, which included 1 wine pairing and a "few" extra special ports was less than $400, certainly not bad for 4 1/2 hours of heaven! :cloud9:

Honestly, money didn't "buy" this Magic! :wizard:

As Mister Disney pointed out ... it's affordable to everyone. Think of how much a night out ... dinner, drinks, and good theatre tickets. By the time you're through ... you've spent 4 or 5 hours out together and about $400. You can also get the Chef's Table or even Dinner at V&A's for the same.

The Magic :wizard: ... that's frosting on the cake. Israel, Mark, Diane and all the staff at the Grand were in on a similar surprise for Mister Disney back in October. Unfortunately, we didn't get to write about it because #1 the pictures were lost, and #2, our lives suddenly went into fast forward with the sale of our old house and purchase and move into the new one ... all during the holidays.

Back in October, along with the concierge at the Grand, while he was napping, I arranged for some Magic :wizard: for Mister Disney during our dinner in the main restaurant. When I contacted Israel about setting up Magic for this trip, we were all joined up again, and knew we had the challenge of surpassing what had been done back in October.

We know how much work was involved in their making this night so Magical. :wizard: Our appreciation is handled through tipping ... not through the bill.

OH MY GOSH! That has got to be one of the most romantic things I've ever read! Boy you two should be givng my hubby some lessons(My Dh proposed by yelling out "hey lets go get your ring today" while he was still on the toilet...yet I still married Him :rotfl2: )!!

Hrmm... I've got a difficult choice to make now...

V&A or one of the big F&W events in October... unfortunately, my budget won't allow too much splurging, but we are going to be down there for a pre-celebration of our last few days in our 20's.... we both turn the big 3..0.. in October.

I hate having to factor in the cost of everything, but I guess that's just life... on the bright side though, I won't have any hotel or park ticket bills to pay (just airline and food!). Oh, and the DDE 20% discount would be nice for V&A (though doesn't work at the Chef's table)....

Anyway, what do you guys think... should I try for V&A or would you recommend a F&W event instead? (Although, I'm still wondering if DP would actually like the food at V&A... maybe they could whip him up a fancy burger and fries?!)... :confused3

Our trip to SF was the 1st one DH and I took since the 1st two girls were born and after that I said no more trips with him alone. However going away didn't seem to be the answer as we went on to have DD4.

Mr. D and K-man, this review has actually become famous enough to be linked on another Disney board - TGM. Glad it was linked and so, so glad I found it. This has got to be the best restaurant review I ever read. I stayed up way past my bedtime reading it (and still didn't finish until today - mom always taught me to save my desserts for last).

Thanks for the great review and even better read. DH and I are going to V&A's next trip - only not the Chef's Table. We had to choose between the Chef's Table or a Couple's Massage at the GF Spa before V&As....

We can try the Chef's Table on another trip. ;)

US TOO!!! Ours is a boy and 4 now.

I'm afraid to go back!!! :rotfl2:

Well, I've been away from the boards for a few months, just returning over the past couple days. The first thing I said to myself was, "let's check out what is up with Mister Disney in the Restaurants Forum".

WOW - am I sure glad that I did!!!

Kudos to both of you, Mister "D" and K-man, for sharing a fantastic review of your dining experience. K-man, you certainly "knocked one out of the park"!


As an aside - I will definitely agree with you, Mister Disney, regarding the lack of creativity when it comes to the desserts. For all the time and effort that V&A obviously spends on the other courses, one would think that they could come up with some new and interesting dessert choices. DW and I have dined there several times over the years (never Chef's Table) and the desserts have remained disappointingly rather stagnant.

There is certainly no lack for dessert creativity throughout the culinary world. I'd have to imagine that V&A could draw upon some of the unique work from the top dessert chefs (i.e., Sam Mason, En Ming Hsu, Michael Laiskonis, etc.).

Thank you Pink Elephants! We're having difficulty locating the link to which you made reference. Can you please send it or post it here?

Although we enjoyed the Couples Massage, it's not something we're likely to repeat.

Another fantastic thread, mens!!! :thumbsup2

Mister Disney, your food prose ranks right up there with my Nig (that would be Nigella Lawson to anyone else :goodvibes )

We came home last night from a 14 day stay at WDW and this thread eased the shock of rejoining daily life!

Bravo!

Vegemite.....is a spread you put on toast or sandwiches. Vegemite and cheese on toast is great comfort food, but only if you are an aussie or perhaps a Kiwi. Anyone not born and bred on the stuff thinks its the most awful thing they have ever tasted or even smelt!

As we enter the dining room in the rear of the kitchen, we could hear something wonderful, the sound of “Somewhere in Time” coming from a harp. We entered the private dining room and saw a beautiful woman smiling at us as she played Mister Disney’s favorite song.

When I finally make it to Australia to visit my uncle I will have to try it. It sounds.....um.......funky, but hey it can't hurt to try it right?

Lets just say it should be spread on very lightly, and dont say I didn't warn you.

I dont think vegemite will make the food and wine festival, but there will be lots of aussie wine. I am not sure if our beers make it into the food and wine, but if you ever get the chance VB is the one!

ALL of the credit for Magic :wizard: and Enjoyment goes to Israel Perez and the wonderful cast members at V&A's. Knowing how special our experience was, I can't begin to imagine what went on behind the scenes! They are truly an amazing group of people.

Well, I finally booked an ADR for V&A!

I told DP that he was forbidden to ask for ketchup though!
I wanted to get NYE but they were completely booked, so instead I got us booked for 6pm on 1/1/2007. I figured it would be a nice way to start the New Year. :goodvibes

I actually went to the memorabilia box and pulled out our souvenir menu's from our dinner. The last time we had dinner at Vic & Al's I was very disappointed that they seated a very badly behaved youngster. We have always been told that children were not seated, yet when we arrived I spotted the child, however it was not until he was acting like a child that his presence became disruptive. Unfortunately we were not seated at the Chef's Table in the kitchen.

OK, it took me a week or so to read the whole thing, and I really loved it!

I have been to V&A's a few times in the past, but I think I will surprise DH with the Chef's Table for our 10th anniversary (that way I have 2 years to plan).

Mister Disney and Mr. D's K-Man, if you happen to be in WDW from 10/12 to 10/21, I would love to meet the two of yo! The two of you truely are an inspiration. :love:

And K Man if you want to get a close approximation to vegemite, mix peanuts, olive oil, and a few of those little cubes of beef boullion a food processor. That is about what it tastes like

Mister Dinsey, I loved this post and promised myself I would only read a page or two and before I knew it I was reading page 24. :rotfl:

My question is in regards to my upcoming trip and first time visit...which of course will also be my first time at Victoria and Albert's. We are not sitting at the Chef's Table, we are in the dining room.

It will be our 8th wedding anniver. but sadly (as I have already posted around here before) my dh will be in the middle of intense chemo treatments. I wanted to know if he was not up to drinking a lot of wine (which we signed up to do the wine pairings), should we share one order of wine pairings? Can you even do that? And how much wine to you actually get per course?

Also, he likes raw fish but is forbidden to have any while on chemo. Should I let them know that? Will they try and help us with food limitations like this? I have no idea what to expect.

He will of course have no hair at that point and may not look as dapper as some (but he will look beautiful to me of course) but he hopes his appearance will not turn others off. I told him thast 'bald was in and very sexy' :banana:

I hope we have a nice time and I pray he will feel like eating a lot. Thanks for your help, I always enjoy your wonderful posts.

it doesnt taste like peanut butter, it tastes like very salty beef jerky. I figure to each their own . It really isnt any worse than potted meat.

When I called to make my V&A ressie, I told them about my allergy to shellfish and the CM advised me that they are very accommodating to people with special dietary needs. You might want to call and have them note the "no raw fish" on your ressie.

Oh, and tell your DH not to worry about being bald, my DP is bald and I think it's kinda sexy. :goodvibes Of course after seeing the food and having a few bites, he'll probably forget all about the hair!

BTW, best wishes to your DH as he goes thru treatment! :wizard:

What a fantastic review of V&A (and what a great thread too)! I'm so glad I did a search on V&A. I'll be dining there with my sister on 11/10, the night before our cruise on the Magic.

We had planned to eat at Boma (as we are staying at AKL), but our plans changed when I receive the gift of V&A. My boss recently took her daughters on their first trip to WDW and I gave them tons of tips and advice, as well as e-mailing a 'picture of the day' to the kids and giving them my brand new PassPorter. She's a wine lover and I had recommended Jiko or V&A as her adults night out experience, telling her I hadn't personally eaten at V&A, but that was considered by those in the know (DISers!) to be one of the finest restaurants around. Well, they did V&A and were blown away! As a thank you, she gave me a certificate for a dinner with wine pairing, knowing I'd be at WDW the night before my cruise! I was pretty much speechless! Thankfully, my sister was game for upgrading our dinner that night (I'll share the cost of her meal with her), so I didn't have to go alone...hehe.

Can't wait for my V&A experience....just hope it doesn't spoil me for the cruise food....I may have to arrange to eat at Palo every night!!

[Disney owl]

Thanks Mr Disney ( and Kevin) for the review, just brought back great memories of our meal last June(2005). Wish it were possible to do it again!!

Greetings from a fellow resident of the Nutmeg state!

Awesome, awesome review.

My wife and I have been to V&A's 4 times, now (though not at the Chefs Table) and absolutely have fallen in love with the place. The food, the atmosphere, the incredibly neat way they brew coffee...and the Hawiian Kona Chocolate Souffle'. To quote Rachel Ray (I know, you prefer Alton....Feasting on Asphalt was very good!): YUM-O!

[pilferk]

[B]This is a very good start ...

http://www.hartfordeagle.com/disney/coffee.JPG

How would you like your coffee?

The only real coffee I have ever had on property is the coffee at Victoria & Alberts. Mister Disney tried everything under the sun to arrange for real coffee in our room. All the pixie dust in Neverland couldn't pull that off. pixiedust:



We actually bought one of those pots (online...not through disney) after our 2nd trip to V&A's. It brews the best darn coffee ever. I like it even better than press pot coffee. We don't use it frequently (as in, for the morning fix) but break it out at every special occasion and dinner party (we have a 25 cup "thermos" dispensing carafe, since the pots are relatively small) and you would not believe the comments we get when the coffee brews. :)

Edit: And yes, I know I'm responding to a 3 month old post......but I just hadda.

WOO HOO ... we're confirmed. We'll be back in WDW Easter Weekend again in April, 2007. The good news is ... we'll be doing the Chef's Table. The sad news is Mark Hoevenaars is no longer working at Victoria & Alberts. We're going to miss seeing Mark at V&A's.

There's always a silverlining to every Disney experience ... V&A's loss is the Yachtsman Steakhouse's gain. Great news, Mark Hoevenaars is now managing over at the Yachtsman Steakhouse ... our next favorite Disney Dining Experience. Yachtsman is definitely going to be on our agenda in April. If you're heading down before then, be sure to check out both V&As and Yachtsman.

[disneytraveler]

Great to see that your going to V&A again. Cant wait to see your review again. And The Yachtsman is indeed a wonderful place. I went to both on my trip to Disney in September. :cool1:

Last year we got ressies for V & A (it was our 5th anniversary) and were all set to go- until my DH's mother backed out of babysitting about 45 minutes before :scared1: Didn't feel well :confused3

Anyway it never happened so looks like we'll just have to wait till all the kids are 4 and we can let them hang in the kids club for a few hours...

I enjoyed living vicariously through you :love:

I guess I've blown my chance to get my DH to spring for V&A for quite a while, since we just celebrated our 30th anniversary with our F&W gluttony Fest! :guilty:

I see from your post, why we enjoyed the Yachtsman so much! I only wish we had restrained ourselves long enough to get pics of the food! I don't know how you all do that! :confused3 :lmao:

Not exactly sure what's in the spoon, but I saw it again on Easter Sunday. This time, Mister Disney had a glass of it instead of a spoon. I'm hearing a Mary Poppins song in my head ... anyone else? :scared: :scared:

I'm here to report a Mr. Disney and K-man sighting this past Wed. evening on our boat ride back from the Gf to the Poly , after a nice dinner at one of our favorite restaurants-Narcoosee(review to follow). Mr.D and K-man seemed to really being enjoying themselves, as we had a lovely, albeit too short of a chat on a couple of quick WDW dining topics.

I'm not sure where they were coming from or where they were going ,but it was a pleasure to see and talk with these gentleman obviously thoroughly enjoying their WDW experience. Looking forward to seeing your reviews from this night, and the rest of your recent trip.

Again, a pleasure meeting you fellows!

Mark, it was our distinct pleasure meeting you, your wife and son on the boat from the Grand Floridian over to the Magic Kingdom. We too, had dinner at Narcoosee Wednesday evening. We didn't have our camera with us as we were dining with Mr. D's boss and his wife, but we had a wonderful first dining experience at Narcoosee that evening. The manager is a very special person.:wizard:

After we left you and your family, we headed to the MK for the Parade and Fireworks and were even able to catch a few of our favorite rides before heading back to the hotel.

Again, it was our pleasure meeting you and your family, and hope you had a wonderful time the rest of your holiday and a safe, albeit long journey back to Ireland.

We look forward to reading your review and hopefully seeing you again in the Fall at WDW.
