Dinner - We headed over to Yacht Club for our 5:15 ADR for Captain’s Grille.
As soon as the restaurant opened, we got seated. There were several people trying to get in to eat without a reservation. Here, that didn’t seem to be too much of a problem, but I am sure that other places, it definitely was.
Our server was Eric and he was wonderful !! He brought us some multi-grain bread. Which I will say … just wasn’t that good. Not much flavor to it.
We ordered an Eco-tini - VeeV Acai liqueur, triple sec, agave nectar, ginger and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Served with a souvenir Acai Seed bracelet It was fun and very good and citrus-y. Very enjoyable. I just love martinis and this one wasn’t too sweet. It had a nice tart citrus flavor.
DD ordered the glowing character punch. Minute Maid Light Lemonade Punch served
in a souvenir cup with a glowing Disney Character Light.
I ordered the Wedge salad. The “Wedge” Baby Iceberg, Chopped Onion, Chopped Egg, Blue Cheese, Bacon, and White Balsamic-Cilantro Vinaigrette
It was very fresh and pretty good. But there was something about the dressing that was just ….. different to me. Our waiter said it had cilantro in it, so maybe I didn’t like that. I would have tasted awesome with blue cheese dressing. Besides the dressing, the rest of the salad was very fresh and tasty.
DS wanted a hamburger but there wasn’t one on the dinner menu. Our waiter said it was no problem, though. He could get us what he wanted.
I had a bite. It was very good. And I just loved those fries. Nice and thick and crispy on the outside, but soft and warm on the inside. Yum !!
DH ordered off the Prix Fixe menu.
He got a salad which was called Green Goddess, but I didn’t get a photo. Green Goddess Salad
Romaine with House-made Green Goddess Dressing and Croutons
And the pan seared chicken. Pan-seared Chicken, White Beans, Smoked Bacon, Braised Greens, and Herb Oil
It came with navy beans and spinach, I think. It was good. I had a bite. The chicken was moist and had a good flavor.
DD ordered the kid’s Meaty Macaroni with ground turkey with marinara sauce topped with mozzarella served with veggies and fruit salad. She asked for the sauce on the side.
Our waiter asked if she wanted some cheese to go with it and she said yes. So he brought her some fresh Parmesan.
Which she loved.
She took some more photos of her cup.
For dessert, DH ordered the turtle cheesecake. Turtle Cheescake with Nougat Candy and House-made Caramel
It was good. I had a bite …. Or three … or more. I just love cheesecake and I especially liked the brittle candy piece on top. Very yummy.
DS just likes vanilla ice cream for dessert. Orders it a lot. Just wants vanilla ice cream.
He borrowed some sprinkles from DD’s kids make your own sundae.
Dinner was good. Not outstanding, but good. But our service was so outstanding that we would go back and just order something else.
