Hiya! :goodvibes

Glad that your camera didn't crap out on ya this time ... I remember feeling so bad for you last year when you posted that you'd lost everything.

I really enjoyed your Flying Fish review - the pictures were great and I am hoping like mad that those flights are still available the next time we dine there.

And you look terrific ... never would have guessed that you were over 50. :thumbsup2

[chocolateMinnie]

enjoying your reviews so far and looking forward to the rest. I'd just be tempted to move into the concierge lounge and never move again.

Hey we had Martha when we went in October! Isnt she fantastic? And I too had to thank TigerKat for the suggestion of FF..her raves about the place were dead on!

[iluvpluto27]

I really enjoyed your Flying Fish review, it's a great restaurant and both the tuna tartare and the scallops with risotto were both fabulous on our last visit.

Thank you also for the concierge pics, I'm still torn between Yacht Club or BWI Concierge for our next stay so the pics were very useful.

[shortchange1026]

San Angel Inn.
Do you notice all the plates on the table in the pics? Well as soon as we got our drinks here comes the apps. and then the main course. Huh?:confused3 We didn't even get a chance to eat some chips and salsa. DH was REALLY pissed and told the waiter Hector that this was very bad manners.:rotfl: I blew it off and just enjoyed the surroundings.

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd236/greatzoron/Number%202%20WDW/IMG_0119.jpg

I thought the food was OK. I really wanted a taste of real Mexican. We have some great Mex here in N.O. with all the roadside, fresh, Mex. And lovely Central American restaurants here to. I was disappointed.
DH didn't think it was worth it and he was disappointed too. He said it was the worst food experience on our trip.:rolleyes: "Feed em and get you out Quick"

Cost: $109.70 Tip: $30.00

[Poppinsme]

Next up the surprise of the trip. Walking into (no ADR) "Yak and Yeti". Was it fabulous!!!!!!!:thumbsup2

[TigerKat]

We used to love San Angel and after having terrible service in '04 we vowed never to go back, the food was mediocre at best on that trip also. I do love the atmosphere and after seeing the new menu was thinking we may return.....probably not, TOO many other awesome places to go to!

Looking forward to Yak & Yeti, we were supposed to try it last trip but were so stuffed from breakfast at BOMA we couldn't think about eating lunch.:laughing:

Merry Christmas to you & your DH! It's just the three of us home watching movies tonight.:goodvibes

[Poppinsme]

Pictures first.:rotfl: :rotfl:

[Poppinsme]

YAK and YETI. Well we really loved it. The food was good and a real surprise. We came up to the front desk and told the young man that we had no ressies. He said "How about a seat at the bar where you can order" Are you kidding me! "Say no more":rotfl: ;) Great chairs and the bartenders were so much fun and sweet. The other adults sitting at the bar with us were not stuffy and we ALL talked about the food and drinks. So much fun!!! It was a really cool Disney experience. And having 2 beers apiece helped I'm sure.:laughing:

I had the steak and shrimp and it was very good and of course cooked very rare just like I ordered.:) The shrimp tempura was nicely turned out. Dipping sauce was good . As were the veggies and rice. No way could I finish this feast after eating the Dim Sum (very good). The portions were HUGE!!!

DH had the ribs and he states that for rib lovers they were just delicious and fork tender. He enjoyed the Dim Sum basket and was shocked that the portions were so huge. DH couldn't finish either.

On this trip we were total winos. But when we saw the beer choices, well game over, gotta try them. They were very good.:rotfl:
There has been a lot of negative reviews about Y&Y on the DIS. We are here to say that we found the service, food, ambiance, and fun, wonderful.:santa: :santa: :wizard:

Just looking at your tag pictures..is that your English Bulldog? We have one, she's 3, her name is Bailey..:love: best dog ever!

Yes! His name is Buddy(4 yrs. old) and we adopted him from English Bulldog rescue back in May. We just love him to pieces.:love: :love: Had no idea that bullies were so loving and sweet. We call him our little love sponge as he is a small bullie boy only weighing 40 lbs.:hug: He had never seen a horse before, so when he came to live with us, it was hilarious to see him and the horses just standing there staring at each other. Buddy is a real tuffy to wards the 1000 lb. horses.:laughing: I think they just roll there eyes.

[Poppinsme]

California Grill It was very good. But what happened to the dress code? DH and I really dressed up for this one. Suit and tie for DH and lovely dress for me. We were way over dressed!
And that is sad.:sad2:

The cheeses board was most delicious and a good choice. But I must say I liked the selections at Flying Fish better with the wine flight. I thought the Sashimi/Sushi was good but Ive had better. DH really enjoyed his flatbread, filet and his favorite the Ravioli. The desserts were great when we ate them later on a late night. We both really liked the wine as it was perfect with our choices. I did find it strange that there was no recommendations given for correct wine. At this level of service there should be a sommelier to make suggestions when asked what would go well with the courses.:confused3
The view was outstanding of course and we were not rushed. Carol was an excellent CM and served everything well. She had just finished nursing school so we had a nice chat about NICU. The atmosphere was really like a large bistro. Very loud even late on a Wednesday. We brought left overs back to our room.

Total cost: $239.63 Tip: $60.00

Would we go here again? We both wish we had gone back to V&As but we are glad we tried CG. :)

Go. YOU must try it. Its worth it. I just have had better but that doesn't mean that its not worth it or good, it is.;) :)

BIERGARTEN Well we love it here!:love: :laughing: :laughing: Once again we sat with the stuffed shirt crowd. To bad for them.:rotfl: I don't think they liked me singing along to the band!:lmao: Lighten up its Disney.
Our server was Silke and she was so sweet telling us about the Oktoberfest and a super server.:cloud9:
The beer and food were so good. And we were so stuffed we never got to the desserts. I don't know why I didn't take more pics?:confused3 Alcohol.
DH liked the light beers and I liked the darks.

Cost: $83.05 Tip: $25.00

Would go again in a heart beat!:laughing:

GARDEN VIEW LOUNGE TEA What can I say? Magical, romantic, lovely, emotional? Yes to all. How fabulous.:cloud9: :cloud9: :love: :santa:

We each had the Grand Tea. With champagne of course.:)
We both love scones and these did not disappoint.
DH had the trifle for dessert and I had the pastry choice. HHMMMMM pastry.
DH had the Garden View blend tea. I had the Nobo Whole fruit tea. Yum!
Tea sandwiches were yummy. It was very grand and most filling.

I actually cried as the last thing I did with my mother before she died was to have an afternoon tea with her like this. Mother would have loved it.:)

Cost: $54.32 Tip: $20.00 Our server was Eileen and she was so wonderful!

Cant wait to go back as this is a must do.

[PrincessTrisha]

I am really enjoying your reviews and pictures.

Can you clarify one thing for me (well actually it will probably end up being two things).

The cost for Boma - was it $50.89 plus a $20 tip or $70.89 plus a $20 tip?

If it was the first one - can I ask - what did the server do for a 39% tip? You didn't mention anything outstanding in your review so I'm just wondering (not judging - I've sometimes tipped very high for no other reason than the server said something that was amusing, or I was in a really good mood that day).

[2xcited2sleep]

Hi! :flower3: Your title drew my attention and I'm so glad it did! Great reviews so far!

Add me to the list of people who say you look great and I'd never guess you were over 50! Side story - I was just carded at WDW in Dec (I haven't been carded in YEARS-- and shouldn't be) but anyway the CM refused to believe me but then said "well, I guess it (alcohol) really does keep you young!" :laughing: Words to live by!!

Well thanks to you I have definitely added Flying Fish to my wish list and am coveting a concierge level stay even more. :thumbsup2

I felt the same way about San Angel. Good thing the margaritas came first. ;)

Looking forward to more. popcorn::

IL MULINO Wow!!! Very, very good. Our server was really very fabulous and I don't remember her name, nuts. The service and ambiance was first rate. We felt so relaxed and unhurried. Where we sat was nice and comfortable with good views. Both of us had wanted to really try this restaurant and we are so glad we did. Very romantic and quiet.

The veal was cooked perfectly as was the gnocchi. Wine so good!:) :thumbsup2 Loved the appetizer.
Bread and bread sticks were delicious.
We had no room for dessert at all. But the lemoncellos hit the spot.
Portions were huge and we felt bad leaving this but we were flying out in the morning.:sad1:

All said and done Il Mulino was a great experience that we liked better then California Grill.:hug:

Cost: $221.47 Tip: $60.00

Definitely would go back.:love:
The boat ride from the BWI to Swan was so nice too.;)

[smphbear]

Enjoying the report!

Are you a NICU nurse at a New Orleans hospital? I live outside the city. I have used 2 different NICU's unfortunately. Just curious where you work.

[colonialtinker]

Love your reviews! Giving me ideas on new places to try ;)

[TigerKat]

Oh my, the food at Il Mulino looks incredible! We're trying to decide if we're going to do the Deluxe Dining Plan or no Dining Plan at all and we'll be staying at the Beach Club so Il Mulino will be very close by.....that Saltimbocca looks amazing......:idea:

[suzimar57]

enjoying your photos - especially the Afternoon Tea - brings back some wonderful memories....

[TheInfrequentVisitor]

Those are some great photos! :thumbsup2

[sandym718]

Great reviews!! That gnocchi looks delicious, one of my most favorite foods! The veal looks wonderful too.

[MickeyNicki]

You guys are killing me, we love the same places and the same foods that you do! Man I want to go to WDW right now and pig out :rotfl: :worship: :rotfl2: :cool1: :lmao:

[ShannonMB]

Your pics actually make my mouth water!!

Another NICU nurse here, BTW :hug:

[madameleota71]

YUM!!:) Your pics look awesome! I must say, you do not look like you are over 50!

[SunnieRN]

What fantastic pictures! Thank you so much for taking the time to do your reviews! Now I'm starving!

[Maude4Disney]

Love your pics and reviews. I think your review on the tea has helped make up my mind to definitely go ahead with it on my trip. Thanks!!

[Jenvenza]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your pics and reviews!!!! Can't wait for more!!!

[pwdebbie]

I'm enjoying your reviews but I wanted to ask, too, about your tipping. Dh and I tend to be big tippers and it can be embarrassing when you go into your "regular" restaurant and the staff fights over who gets to wait on you that day! But you seem to be even bigger tippers than us.

[iluvpluto27]

I'm really enjoying your reviews and pics. Il Mulino looks very good, and I really must fit the GF tea in on one trip, it looks great I just never seem to find the time.

[TXYankee]

Thanks for thr reviews and Pics!!

I am really enjoying your photos and reviews. You guys look like a fun and I would love to sit by you at the German joint! :drinking1


The San Angel pics make the food look really good but I keep reading their food is not so yummy. :sad1: I want to like it, I really do but cannot seem to commit.

[Lilo's Mom]

Great Reviews! Thanks for reviewing the Afternoon Tea. I wanted to do this the last two trips, but DH kept telling me that Tea is for ladies. Now I can prove to him that couples go to Tea! :thumbsup2

Love the fact that you have K9 in your signature!

[DWFan4Life]

Great reviews, I really love your pics. I will try to eat some of those in our next trip. :) I'm looking forward to the rest of your reviews.

Have a good day. :)
