Anyone been to bluezoo recently? Best thing you've eaten there?

[PracPerfPatricia]

WOW... I've been off the boards for 3-4 days and I come back to find all of these awesome responses... Thanks everyone for taking the time... ...and photos too... There fabulous... thank you so much... I'm really looking forward to this meal...

With a couple of small exceptions it seems like it would be hard to go wrong with much here... I'll do a food review... hopefully it will help someone else going forward...

Hmm... not much to worry about now other than wondering to stick with wine or break out and have a pre dinner cocktail... if they make anything worth it...

Mmmmmm....the best cocktails!
Never had an entree at BlueZoo we didn't swoon over. Last trip (11 months ago!) I don't remember which yummy entree I had, but the side was homemade tiny squash ravioli. So delicious I asked for a pasta maker for Christmas so I could try to duplicate them!

DD and I will be eating there on Wednesday - It's Magical Dining Month and we'll be ordering off of the prix fixe menu: $30 for appetizer, entree and dessert!! It is our "must do" restaurant...Simply Fish for me; DD will order either Simply Fish or the Dancing Fish and when older DD is with us, she always orders the Miso-glazed Mero and the Roasted Beet Salad. DH and SIL ordered the Tenderloin and both really enjoyed it on our last visit. DDs also always order the Tempura Haricot Verts as an appetizer. Everything is delicious - especially the desserts!

What is Magical Dining Month, may I ask?

I also know they discontinued the tasting menu earlier this year.

Crap, that was something I was looking forward to.

Cocktails? Cocktails? One of their bartenders - I forget her name - won the disney wide cocktail contest with her cocktail - which I have every time I go there but have not ever known its name.... LOL! Just ask for the prize winning cocktail made by their female bartender... I usually just have wine but this cocktail is amazing!

I love their tuna tartare and also their swordfish and their scallops. The Flying Fish use to be my favorite WDW restaurant, but BlueZoo is even better. It is hands down the best restaurant I have ever been to and I am a foodie. The reason you don't see many reviews is that it is pricey - and pricey for kids too. I take my dgd6 to "fancy" restaurants all the time, but wouldn't take her here. It is not a kids restaurant. One tip, though, take a heavy sweater with you. for some reason the place occasionally is just frigid!

Ok... thinking a cocktail before dinner is a must too

Thanks...Just keeps getting better...

What is Magical Dining Month, may I ask?

Just got off the Fantasy, but wanted to explain:
Orlando area restaurants promote Magical Dining month (September) to compete with Disney's free dining plan. We ate at bluezoo and Fleming's and had excellent meals!

For what it's worth, the crab nachos were on at least the bar menu as of September 10th, when I was last there. I was there with a friend and we were working our way through the drink menu when a couple next to us ordered them. I rarely comment on the size of a dish, but these really were almost a full meal for two. Unlike most Brobdingnagian dishes, though, these were worth eating. All the flavors popped and stayed distinct, instead of glopping together like most nacho plates, and the chips stayed crisp even on the bottom. I've also never seen that much crabmeat in one dish before.

The Magical Dining Month menu at bluezoo is a steal, and I'm planning on going twice next year.
