I'm going to add my dining photos and reviews now that I have finished my trip report!
I didn't get photos of each meal we had. We ate at Minnie's Breakfast at the Plaza Inn and it was standard breakfast food. I personally didn't like the taste of the sausages or bacon for some reason. Definitely not what I was used to, but the food was hot and filling.
Our breakfasts at the Beachcomber Lounge at the PPH were okay. Drinks offered were juices (sometimes orange, sometimes cranberry), water and 'spa water' - water with cucumber or orange slices in it. Different cereals - Raisin Bran, Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes - instant oatmeal with sugar, raisins or nuts for toppings, peeled hard boiled eggs (only protein there), fresh fruit - melons, strawberries, apples - and carbs - small muffins, danishes, croissants, and bagels. With a toaster at the end for the bagel and some cream cheese and butter singles. There is a coffee and tea area and there's syrups for the coffee to flavour it.
We had dinner our last night at Carnation Cafe. There was a 15-20 minute wait so we got the buzzer and when we returned, we were seated outside. It was lovely.
My husband had the Turkey Sandwich and a Cherry Malt.
My youngest DD had the Mac & Cheese (a common theme all week) and the Chocolate Malt.
My oldest DD had the kid's hamburgers - they were good but not big enough for her apparently... but the adult size would have been too large. She also had the Vanilla Malt.
I had the Chicken Fried Chicken - SO YUMMY! A little spicy but not overly so, and the gravy was a nice compliment to the flavour. The garlic mashed potatoes were lovely, just the way I like them, and I gobbled the veggies down too (except for the peppers... I don't like peppers). I had a lemonade in a Tinkerbell Cup. Yes, I'm a 10 year-old girl inside.
The server noticed my birthday button and gave me a surprise birthday cupcake with a candle in it. So sweet of them!
We had a WOC lunch at WCT one day. It was around 11:30 and we'd had breakfast at Ariel's only 2 hours earlier, so we weren't hungry. But the food was SO good. We had the left-overs packed up and had them for dinner in the hotel room. Still delicious.
My husband and I started with the Italian Wedding Soup. I'd never had it before and really liked it. Very yummy. We also had a Miller each. Went down soooooo well!
I had the Shrimp Salad for my main. The dressing was light and flavourful. It was a very hearty salad. I also had a glass of white with my salad. It was standard Napa stuff. I like our local wines better.
DH had the pasta. He said it was very good.
The girls had the cheese pizza each. They said it was yummy. Their appetizer was raw veggies that they couldn't finish.
The dessert was incredible. We felt like the guy at the end of Monty Python's Meaning of Life - "Just a wafer" - but we ate the items in the glasses and had the rest packed up in the boxes. The items on the right: outside - Panna Cotta - inside - Tiramisu. On the left: outside - lemon puffs - inside - Macrons: green was pistachio; red was raspberry.
We had the F! meal at RBT the night we arrived. They were kind enough to allow my oldest DD (11) to eat and order off the kid's menu. Saved us $20. The kids were pretty tired and didn't each much, so we had the left overs boxed up.
I had the salad to start. Very tasty.
The kid's appy was crudite and buns - which were soft and lovely.
I was starving, so I dug in before I snapped a photo, sorry. I had the chicken. SO delicious!
DD11 had the kid's chicken meal.
DD9 had the Mac & Cheese. DH had the steak and quite liked it. He wasn't crazy about me taking photos of his food, so it's hit and miss when I was able to.
Dessert was yummy - DH and I both had the chocolate mousse.
The girls each had a cupcake. THAT they were able to eat, ha.
I'll continue the rest in the next post.
